The cast of SWITCH may have two new additions as Jennifer Aniston and Dennis Quaid are in talks to join the adaption of the Elmore Leonard novel.
Aniston is rumoured to be playing Mickey Dawson and Quaid to play her crooked real estate husband which would see them join Ty Burrell, John Hawkes and Yaslin Bey who have already been chosen for the movie.
As the story goes Dawson is kidnapped and ransomed by two ex-cons (Hawkes and Bey) and when the lowlife husband sees this as a way to get rid of his wife and refuses to pay the ransom, the kidnappers embrace a new opportunity: teaming with a pissed off bombshell housewife to get all of her husband’s money.
The ex-con characters have been seen before, they are earlier versions of the one’s that appeared in Leonard’s novel Rum Punch, which was turned into JACKIE BROWN (1997) by Quentin Tarrantino.
However this does not mean the movie is a prequel. Leonard has been known to cross over charcters from novel to novel so we are seeing a separate film, not the before for JACKIE BROWN.
Adam Schechter wrote the script and it is being produced by Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Lee Stollman with Michael Siegel and Leonard.
