Emilio Estevez continues to sign up big names to his movie Bobby which he’s written and directed. According to Coming Soon:
Sharon Stone, Elijah Wood, Nick Cannon and Freddy Rodriguez are joining the cast, which already includes Anthony Hopkins and Demi Moore. Estevez also has a role…
…Stone will play the wife of the hotel manager who works in the hotel’s beauty salon. Wood’s character is marrying a girl to change his draft classification. Cannon is a Youth for Kennedy volunteer, and Rodriguez is a hotel busboy.
Ten more major roles need to be filled, but after 4 1/2 years, Estevez is 2 1/2 weeks away from the first day of principal photography. The budget is less than $10 million.
Wow, that is impressive. This has to have the promise of a great movie, even if there is pull for these stars from the names Estevez or Sheen, surely there’s not enough to get all these stars involved without a strong script? Estevez has already shown he can direct, mainly through TV but good TV. What do you think?
