Sometimes, the world of movie casting can get pretty intense.  Unlike writers, directors, or producers, there can be dozens of actors involved in a movie.  Because of this, new casting for movies is happening ALL THE TIME.  Well we here at TMP try our best to provide you with the biggest and most important casting news, sometimes, there are some smaller ones that slide throgh the cracks.  Role Call is here to fix that.  Every week, we will take a dive into the world of film casting, from the biggest Hollywood blockbusters to the smallest of indie films.  Well most Role Call's will be a round up of all the casting announcements made during the week, we'll sometimes take a break to focus on another realm of casting, from the evolution of an actor to his 5 greatest roles.  But no matter what we do, one thing is for sure: the world of movie casting is a big place, and Role Call is here to help you forge your way through it!

This week, we got Will Ferrell playing a klepto, Vince Vaughn playing a druggie, and Gina Carano playing a badass (again). 

At first glance, this is a pretty silly and dumb rumor. I mean, there's just so many things about this that doesn't make any sense! For one, I'm pretty sure Ridley Scott has said that none of the characters from the original film are coming back this time around. Also, it's been pretty well reported that Harrison Ford had a terrible experience making Blade Runner. Add in the fact that Ford has been pretty hesitant to sci-fi films nowadays and the idea of Ford returning for Blade Runner 2 seems pretty incomprehensible. That said, a rumor has been circling around the interwebs (as the kids call it) this weekend that Ford will indeed be back as police officer Rick Deckard in Blade Runner 2. And, believe it or not...I actually believe there's credence to this rumor.

This week, we got about a billion new projects for Russell Crowe, a new role for Shia LaBeof, and two literary adaptations for Oscar nominee Viola Davis.

And just like that, a very prominent, very controversial internet rumor is laid to rest.  Thank god for that; wasn't that weekend of suspense just killer!
