Today is one of those insane days where everyone is being cast in something, rumors are flying, and yet we lack enough information to wax poetic on every piece of information. That's why it's all going into Casting Bits today. So, read on and catch up... Rose McGowan is set to star in a romantic thriller called "Napa", which will be the feature film debut of writer-producer Michael Kerr. Based on Hans Ostrom's novel "Three to Get Ready," it will feature McGowan "playing a woman who after three tours of duty in Afghanistan returns to her hometown, where she is given the job of sheriff." I'm not sure where the romance or the thriller angle comes in, but I do know "Three to Get Ready" sounds like a thriller, whereas "Napa" sounds like it's about wine country. I also know McGowan hasn't done three tours in Afghanistan. [The Hollywood Reporter] M.C. Gainey (aka Mr.

Rose McGowan is, once again, changing our image of her.
The actress will headline the romantic thriller "Napa," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
McGowan plays a discharged solider who returns to her hometown and takes up the job of sheriff. Interesting! (And very strange.)
The "Charmed" star has been trying to find her stride, appearing in "Conan the Barbaian" and making guest appearances on "Law & Order: Svu."
"Napa" marks Michael Kerr's directorial feature debut. He collaborated with Hans Ostrom on the script, which is based on Ostrom’s novel "Three to Get Ready."
Can Rose rock as a solider-turned-sheriff?...

[1] M.C. Gainey, a.k.a. Mr. Friendly on Lost, has entered negotiations to star in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained as what sounds like one of the nastiest characters in a film filled with vile characters. Gainey is up for the part of Big John Brittle, an overseer at the Carrucan Plantation who sets the plot in motion by raping Django's wife Broomhilda and branding Django's cheek with the letter 'R' (for "runaway"). Django (Jamie Foxx) goes on to team up with Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a German bounty hunter interested in the large reward on Big John, to free his wife from the clutches of villainous plantation owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). Gerald McRaney, Dennis Christopher, and Laura Cayouette are also signed on to star in the "Southern-fried spaghetti Western," while Kurt Russell is in talks [2] to replace Kevin Costner as Candie's right-hand man Ace Woody. Production is...

Rose McGowan looks set to return to her butt-kicking best in Michael Kerr‘s Napa. The film is based on Hans Ostrom‘s novel Three to Get Ready, a novel the Fulbright scholar published through small imprint Cliffhanger Press back in 1991. Ostrom and Kerr have adapted the script together, and producer Kerr will also use the film as his feature directorial debut. Not much is known about the book beyond its basic logline – it “centers around Scarlett Harding (McGowan) who gets a job as Sheriff in her hometown of Napa after returning from three military tours of Afghanistan.” It’s not known if the film will be set in the timeframe the book covered, with Scarlett returning from her military service in the early 90s, or if it will be moved more towards present day. Whichever type of war Scarlett returns home from, she’ll face some sort of mystery in her new job, as...

It's no secret that actress Rose McGowan definitely has a rough side. Though she was mostly a cutesy high school girl in Scream back in the 90's, since then she's has some ass-kicking roles in ex-fiance Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse flick Planet Terror and the mostly flat Conan the Barbarian most recently. Now it sounds like she's got another role prime for delivering some justice, but likely with a slightly less exaggerated and stylized package. THR reports McGowan has been slated to headline Napa, a film described as a romantic thriller from writer/producer Michael Kerr making his feature directorial debut. In the film, McGowan will play Scarlett Harding who gets a job as Sheriff in her hometown of Napa after returning from three military tours of Afghanistan. It's not clear what conflicts or problems she's forced to deal with as Napa's new lady of the law, but she'll likely...
