Rachel McAdams Joining Woody Allen’s Film with Owen Wilson

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Rachel McAdams and Marion Cotillard have joined the cast of Woody Allen’s next film, set to film this summer. Previously announced as part of the cast were Owen Wilson and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.
It’s hard to remember but for a brief time in 2005 McAdams was Hollywood’s “It” girl. After amazing chemistry opposite Owen Wilson in Wedding Crashers, McAdams toplined the sleeper hit Red Eye and had a warm turn in The Family Stone with Luke Wilson. But after some time off and some bad choices, she’s kind of fallen off the map.
I would say that 2009 was a comeback year for her. State of Play wasn’t a hit for McAdams or costar Russell Crowe but she did a good job in what could have been a one-note role (that film also features a great cameo by Jason Bateman). I personally didn’t love McAdams in Sherlock Holmes but the film was certainly a massive hit. So, maybe things have turned around.
Woody should work more with frat pack members, I loved Melinda & Melinda, it would be great to pair him up with Stiller or give Carell a main role. Good old reliable Woody.
