While we had to wait seven years for Alexander Payne to return to theaters with a new drama,The Descendants made us realize just how much we missed the director. Thankfully the wait won’t be nearly as long for his next, as production is gearing up for a fall shoot. For Nebraska, we know Bruce Dern and MacGruber himself Will Forte will lead the black-and-white film as father and son, but now the rest of the cast is starting to fill out.
Although over 20 speaking parts are still left to fill, two major additions have come aboard asBreaking Bad star and funnyman Bob Odenkirk has joined the ensemble as Dern’s son and Forte’s older brother, while Stacy Keach, who last showed up in The Bourne Legacy, has been cast as old colleague. Payne is also reportedly circling his About Schmidt actress June Squibb for another role, but that deal is not locked yet.
