Kline Joins Frank or Francis
Actor Kevin Kline has signed on to star in Frank or Francis, in not one but two roles.
Kline will be staring alongside Nicholas Cage, Jack Black and Steve Carell in Charlie Kaufman’s musical satire of Hollywood.
The film itself will see Black star as a blogger who continually undermines Frank, played by Carell, a film making cheat. Hmmm does Black sound a little like a certain well-known Internet blogger?
Kline will be playing the character Richard Weller, who is a screenwriter and the brother to Jonathan Waller, who is yet to cast, but has been described as the most successful filmmaker of all time. However for his second character he will be playing Richard’s head, a disembodied animatronic head that helps Jonathan make films. Sounds a little bizarre if you ask me.
Nicholas Cage will be playing the role of Emcee, described as a famous actor.
Shooting for the film will begin in January.
