Judy Greer and Paul Schneider have joined the cast of Elizabethtown! Of course you know that Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, Susan Sarandon and Jessica Biel are already on board. Greer will play the daughter of Sarandon’s character, while Schneider portrays the cousin of Bloom’s character. Greer, 28, last starred opposite Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on 30 and is also in M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village opening this July. Schneider last starred opposite Zooey Deschanel in All the Real Girls.
Cameron’s official site is coming soon. I’ll be monitoring the messages boards and news over there. Come on over!
Head back over the official Cameron Crowe site! Check out Cameron’s journal, all the latest news and join the Town Hall!
Cameron picks his favorite music videos from the past year for AOL.
Back in March, 1972, Crowe reviewed sixteen year-old country singer/songwriter Tommy Jones and his album Tommy’s Place for the San Diego Door. Tommy would later work with Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed, among others.
Alice Cooper Circa 1972 by Jim Marshall
Cameron does a rare “joint” article with fellow San Diego Door writer Art Grupe for an interview/concert review of Alice Cooper. This very funny piece is from the March 9, 1972 issue.
The last addition today is from The San Diego Door‘s February 24, 1972 issue. It’s Cameron’s review of Keith Emerson with The Nice. He provides a brief history of Emerson, ELP and also looks at the ELP release, Pictures of an Exhibition.
Here’s the first entry for Cameron’s Elizabethtown Journal.
December, 2003
Elizabethtown finally has its lead actors. Orlando Bloom (as Drew Baylor) and Kirsten Dunst (as Claire Colburn). Dunst had come very close to being cast in Almost Famous and Bloom had been the lead (with Kate Beckinsale) in my one and only commercial, a black and white ad for the Gap. We’d made a pact to work together in the future. Now’s the time. Only one problem. He’s not available for close to six months. Dunst will have time to make another movie, “Wimbledon,” in England, and I will have time to storyboard and prepare the movie to a fine degree. And the movie, which is set in summer, will be able to be shot in summer. That had always been a problem how were we going to do a movie about summer, in all its glorious humidity, with January snow on the ground? It feels right to wait. Vinyl Films will go into a long pre-production hibernation_ we make all kinds of plans on how to spend the down time. We’ll work on future projects, plot visual style on “E-town,” plan music for the movie and we’ll put out the vinyl on our fave artists Low and Mark Kozelek, and wait out the long months.
