It’s always good news when Whoopi Goldberg and Kathy Bates get film work, as they’re wonderful actresses and ought to appear in more movies. Well, now they’re going to get to make one together, as they’re set to take star supporting roles in Earthbound.
The film stars Kate Hudson as an irreverent young woman who learns she has cancer and unexpectedly falls for her doctor, played by Gael Garcia Bernal. Eartbound also stars Lucy Punch and Rosemarie DeWitt. Unfortunately though, there’s no news on exactly which roles Bates and Goldberg will take in the movie, but hopefully they’ll be there more than just for show.
Filming on Earthbound started a couple of weeks ago, with Nicole Kassell directing. (Source: Screen Daily)
