Anthony Mackie, star of CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, is reportedly in talks to join Jonathan Levine’s latest project – a currently-untitled Christmas comedy featuring Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Levine has previously worked with the pair before on 50/50, with Rogen and Gordon-Levitt perfect as close buddies Kyle and Adam. If Mackie agrees on a deal he’ll join the film as one of three friends who reunite on Christmas Eve in New York, where we can only presume havoc is wreaked.
A deal better be made soon as production is supposed to start this summer, with a predicted release date of 11th December 2015. I’m a huge fan of both Seth and Joseph (and of 50/50 – that ending, that Pearl Jam song, Anna Kendrink!) but I haven’t seen Anthony in action, so it’ll be interesting to see how they interact and play off of each other.

Considering Jazmine grew up watching CARRY ON SCREAMING, THE LION KING and JURASSIC PARK on repeat for weeks on end, it made sense for her to study film at London South Bank University. It’s also a good thing that her course requires a lot of sitting down because she’s very accident-prone. When she’s not examining her bruises, she likes pretending that she doesn’t live in Southend-On-Sea and spends hours mindlessly blogging. Favourite films include BLUE VALENTINE, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and TOY STORY 2.
