New Movie for Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Now we can complete the Supernatural casting trifecta -- Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who will always be Papa Winchester to us here at the CW Source, has just been cast to star opposite Kirsten Dunst and Ryan Gosling in "All Good Things."
According to the Hollywood Reporter, JDM will play a down-on-his-luck detective who gets hired by Gosling's character, the heir to a real estate fortune, to find out what happened to his lost love from the wrong side of the tracks (Dunst). We can totally see Jeffrey as a gritty, hard-boiled detective type, and we're glad he's taking a break form the romantic comedies he's been in lately!
Of course, it's interesting that JDM is getting such a range of roles while his TV sons seem stuck in horror-flick mode. (Yes, we know Jensen's got an indy movie and Jared is in a feel-good Christmas flick, but neither of those have seen wide release yet.) It could be just a function of age -- there tend to be a gazillion horror flicks that need hot young bodies, while JDM looks a little too seasoned to go creeping around the woods looking for chainsaw killers. Or it could be because JDM paid his horror-movie dues with Dead and Breakfast. (Seriously).
We're hoping this new casting news will distract Jeffrey from his latest breakup with on-again, off-again fiancee Mary Louise Parker. Jeffrey, give us a call if you need a shoulder to cry on!
