CASTING NEWS: PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER, LUCAS HEDGES IN OLD FRIENDS NEW FRIENDS COMEDY MOVIE, DIANNE WIEST AND CIARAN HINDS IN THIS OLD LOVE OF MINE COMEDY DRAMA

  LATEST CASTING NEWS 
OLD FRIENDS, NEW FRIENDS COMEDY
A couple of casting news for you today, starting with Mike Birbiglia's new comedy movie OLD FRIENDS, NEW FRIENDS which will have Patrick Schwarzenegger and Lucas Hedges in the cast. When a tight-knit group of college friends travels to a summer camp for their old friend’s wedding, they discover he’s built a new life — with new friends — forcing them to confront what they’ve lost, who they’ve become, and whether growing up means growing apart. 
 
THIS OLD LOVE OF MINE COMEDY DRAMA
Another comedy drama movie will come from director Terry Loane who has cast Dianne Wiest and Ciaran Hinds in THIS OLD LOVE OF MINE. They play Harry and Margo Bannon whose happy retirement in a quiet country town is upended when Harry discovers a letter revealing that Margo had an affair early in their marriage. Without discussion, he files for divorce and summons their three grown children home, igniting old resentments, fresh turmoil and local gossip. As a DNA test threatens to shatter everything they thought they knew, the Bannons are forced to confront what truly makes a family: blood, loyalty, or a lifetime of messy, enduring love.

    3. You do now, he is a very nice young man and his relationship with Arnold is interesting because he was a very just but also strict father, and had strict rules when they were growing up, very interesting to read them talk about it.

  3. I do think many times growing up means growing apart. I no longer have the same friends that I had even just 7 or 8 years ago. I have one friend from that time period left, and even that has been waning the last year or two with her move 10 hours away. Life ebbs and flows and it's wild to think that you'll have the same people who aren't family along for the ride the entire time.

    2. Yes, but you and I go in spurts as we always have. Some years we have a lot to say, others we're both just so immersed in work there really isn't much to talk about. I have a few people in my life like that. The wedding I am going to next month, we've been friends since we were 10 years old. There have been years we couldn't be separated, then we'd go 3 or 4 years with no contact because life was just so busy for us both. But we always pick right back up like no time has passed. I haven't seen my California cousin since 2019 but she made it to Indiana this summer and was like "I swear, it feels like no time has passed when we get together." I think that's the way it will always be with you and I as well. We're like 12 years into this friendship and even now there are times I'm like "oooh, gotta remember to tell this to Dezzy!" I don't even do that with my best friend who moved away anymore. Probably because we've always have that online relationship and you've been a constant over the years.
