We have some fun casting news today for a new action-comedy film called The Heart. According to THR, Sam Rockwell (Moon, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) and Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures, The Help) are set to star as Joe and Lucy, “a couple who, while desperate for cash, agree to take the job of delivering a human heart from New York to Florida in 24 hours. When they realize that their delivery is destined for a black-market buyer who illegally skipped the donor list, they try to reroute the heart to its rightful recipient, only to be hunted down by insane criminals.” Allison Janney (The Help, Juno) will play Spencer’s ex-boss who is one of the criminals after the couple.

The Heart will be written and directed by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, who were the duo that debuted their writing and directing skills with the hit coming-of-age classic The Way, Way Back that also starred Rockwell and Janney.

This sounds like a really fun movie with an incredible all-star cast. I loved The Way, Way Back, and I can’t wait to see The Heart. How about you? Does this movie sound good to you?
