Bit part T.V. actress Olivia Wilde has landed her biggest part to date, playing the love interest of Jack Black in the upcoming Columbia Pictures biblical comedy YEAR ONE.
She will Princess Inanna in the movie which almost contains a who’s/who in film comedy, with Harold Ramis (GROUNDHOG DAY) directing, Judd Apatow producing (KNOCKED UP), Owen Wilson executive producing (WEDDING CRASHES) and starring Black alongside the SUPERBAD duo Michael Cera and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
Oliver Platt, Juno Temple, Vinnie Jones and June Raphael are also on board.
Wilde’s biggest film credit to date is in TURISTAS (seriously though, as long as you looked good in a bikini… you were cast in that flick) but it’s her small t.v. roles in THE OC, HOUSE and her prominent role on THE BLACK DONNELLYS where she is probably most recognisable.
Shooting is currently underway in New Mexico and Lousiana. With a cast and crew of people who have made me laugh until I would cry many, many times in the past… I’m hopeful this will be the biblical comedy to end all biblical comedies (I’m not much of a MONTY PYTHON or DOGMA fan).
