Many cast changes were announced on March 13, 2007. Big name actors such as Josh Lucas, Laura Kightlinger, and Joshua Jackson turned out to be actors "considered" for the roles, but not actually cast. The producers have decided to go with actors that are more familiar to this type of film. They've gone with Anna Faris, Kevin Mcdonald, and Tony Cox to replace the others.
