Big thanks to Luciana for the heads-up on this exciting new film rumour:
Sienna Miller and Brendan Fraser have joined the cast of the indie “A Case of You” starring Justin Long and Evan Rachel Wood.
The pic also stars Peter Dinklage, Keir O’Donnell and Busy Phillips with Kat Coiro on board to direct.

Long, O’Donnell and Long’s younger brother Christian have penned the script with Justin and O’Donnell producing along with Holly Wiersma, Logan Levy, and Jessie Kennedy. Cassian Elwes, Frank Levy, Britton Sanderford, Brice Sanderford, Christian Long, Jessica Neuman and Robert Barnum are exec producing.

Sienna Miller & Brendan Fraser Join Justin Long Penned ‘A Case Of You’ With Evan Rachel Wood
It looks like Justin Long has been working his little book of phone numbers hard. The upcoming film “A Case Of You,” which he co-wrote, has already lined up an impressive cast with Evan Rachel Wood, Peter Dinklage, Sam Rockwell, Vince Vaughn, Busy Phillips and Keir O’Donnell (who also co-wrote the script along with Justin’s brother Chris, who is a co-producer) and now two more names have come along.
Sienna Miller and Brendan Fraser will lend their skills to the film, which will find Long playing a writer who embellishes his profile in order to meet a girl online, only to have to try to live up to the high standards he’s set for himself in real life when she begins to fall for him. It all sounds fairly standard, but with this cast involved, and with Long’s help getting the script together, we’re hoping it takes a new tack on the rom-com.
For both Miller and Fraser, it might seem like they’ve been out of the game for a while, but both have a plethora of projects on the horizon. For Miller, she’s got the dramedy “Hippie Hippie Shake,” Nick Cassavetes’ drug tale “Yellow,” “Two Jacks” and the Hitchcock biopic project “The Girl” (in which she plays Tippi Hedren) all coming. As for Fraser, he’s been knocking out a string of indie flicks including Terry George’s fish robbery thing “Whole Lotta Sole,” the Vanessa Hudgens drama “Gimme Shelter” and Mike Figgis’ “Seconds Of Pleasure.”
“A Case Of You” is currently in front of cameras, and while there is no release date, we wouldn’t be shocked to find this at Sundance next year.
