Cassidy Freaks Out

Katie Cassidy is in negotiations to play the female lead in the film adaptation of Elmore Leonard's crime novel "Freaky Deaky" says Variety.



Leonard’s classic 1970's-set book has Cassidy playing a former radical turned romance novelist who tracks down her old partner in crime, a movie special effects man, for one last score. Their target: a wealthy alcoholic whom she blames for sending her to prison. Trouble is, she ain't the only one after him as both a suspended cop and a former Black Panther want to join in on the gig.

Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser and Craig Robinson  also star

Charles Matthau wrote the adapted screenplay and will call the shots.

William H. Macy and Sienna Miller in the hippie role were also attached at one point but dropped out.

Casting has been a mery-go-round here Camilla Belle Sam Rockwell and Hayden Christensen were linked to the pic as well further back than that

Shooting kicks off next week in Michigan.
