According to Fansshare.com there is a possibility of a “Wedding Crashers” sequel. Back in 2007 Vince Vaughn confirmed himself in an interview he and Owen Wilson were working on a script/ideas for a second “Wedding Crashers” but it was never officially announced there would be a sequel to the movie but maybe that’s about to change.

It has been suggested that there could well be a follow up to the hit 2005 comedy Wedding Crashers after one of the movies stars, Isla Fisher was overheard talking about the possibility of a sequel. The movie would be a definite hit after the success of Wedding Crashers.

An eye witness explained, “I’m a massive fan of Isla Fisher and when I saw her I couldn’t help but “accidentally” overhear her conversation and she was saying something about being offered the chance to return for Wedding Crashers 2 but she didn’t go into details about it.”

Wedding Crashers, which also starred Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, made $283 million worldwide and a sequel would obviously be very profitable. However, the storyline would be a stumbling block as the main characters crash weddings to pick up girls but both men ended up with their dream girl at the end of the movie. If Wedding Crashers 2 does get the go ahead, do not expect to see it before 2015.

We are not sure how reliable the source is but we thought it was interesting there could be a follow-up to “Wedding Crashers“. Keep in mind this is still a rumor and if there is a sequel it could be Rachel isn’t returning to play Claire. Thanks to our affiliate Isla Fisher Web for pointing this news out.

Yet another possible project surfaced. While I was looking for new information on the current projects I came across a new possible project listed on Itsonthegrid.com. Rachel is listed as Erica (lead) in the upcoming movie “The Reluctant Fundamentalist” based on the novel by Mohsin Hamid. The movie will be directed by Mira Nair who got the rights to the movie since 2007. Nair confirmed a few weeks ago the male lead will be Rizwan Ahmed who will be playing Changez.

Production Company: Cine Mosaic, Mirabai Films
Studio: Independent Feature – Financed
Director: Mira Nair
Producer: Mira Nair, Lydia Pilcher
Writer: Mohsin Hamid, Bill Wheeler

Plot: Changez, a Princeton graduate from Pakistan, succeeds on Wall Street, thriving in his adopted city. But in the wake of September 11, Changez finds his position in his adopted city suddenly overturned and his relationships tested. His involvement with pro-Pakistan demonstrations are called into question as is his connection to a possibly extremist student. After another attack, Changez’s link to the student implicates him indirectly to the group responsible. A thriller unfolds as Changez is forced to choose – a country, a way of life, where he belongs.

Yet there is still the matter of his beloved Erica, who is friendly with Changez but mourning the death of her former boyfriend, Chris, from lung cancer. Changez is polite and formal; Erica is uninhibited, going topless, for instance, on a beach in Greece. The two become intimate, but she is haunted by Chris, and after 9/11 her sadness mysteriously turns pathological. She lands in an institution, then disappears.

We don’t have full access to Itsonthegrid.com so we can not read the related articles and we don’t know how much Rachel is actually involved in the project. IMDB and NY Times aren’t listing this project on Rachel’s resumé and we didn’t find more sources that confirm her involvement so keep in mind this is yet another possible project for Rachel.

“Midnight in Paris” became Woody Allen’s higest grossing film ever a few weeks ago. Late May the movie was released limited but after it’s huge success, it was number #13 of the top box office weekend openings of all time , the movie got a wide release and now the movie will go wide again on August 26.

‘Midnight in Paris’ Getting a Late-Summer Expansion
Sony Classics’ Woody Allen film, starring Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams, will play nationwide again on Aug. 26.

Sony Pictures Classics is dying to go back to Paris.

In nine days, the specialty house plans to re-expand Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, a surprise indie hit that has become the veteran filmmaker’s highest grossing film in the U.S. since its opening in May. Midnight’s domestic gross through Tuesday is $49.9 million (it’s grossed more than $83 million worldwide).

Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen star in the story of an idealistic writer who makes nightly excursions back in time to 1920s Paris, where he gains perspective and inspiration from iconic expatriates such as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Salvador Dali.

Last weekend, the film was playing in 400 theaters; on the 26th, it will be playing in an additional 500 to 600 theaters, hoping to benefit from a late-summer rush. SPC co-president Tom Bernard says there will be a new TV campaign to encourage audiences to see it again and “take a friend to Paris.”

“This movie has played strong all summer,” says Bernard, who said he wants to keep the momentum going ahead of an awards push for Allen and the movie.

SPC also released the previous two Allen films, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and Whatever Works.

The movie is also getting Oscar buzz for possible Best Picture, Best Director and maybe even Best (Supporting) Actor/Actress for one of the cast members according to multiple blogs. Deadline recently wrote an article about “Midnight in Paris” winning the Best Picture if the Oscars were held right now. Let’s hope the buzz wil eventually lead to actual nominations!

Another possible project has surfaced the web for Rachel, according to the New York Post Rachel is mentioned for the upcoming movie “How To Love an American Man” based on the upcoming novel of Kristine Gasbarre. The book will be released next week (August 16). Other actresses are Katherine Heigl, Anne Hathaway and Zooey Deschanel. Zooey is the favorite one for the part in the eyes of the author.

Hollywood agents are scrambling to land their A-list actresses the lead role in a planned movie of the upcoming, buzzed-about memoir of love and self-discovery, “How To Love an American Man.”
They believe it is the perfect vehicle for sweethearts Katherine Heigl, Anne Hathaway or Zooey Deschanel to be attached to before it’s optioned into a screenplay.

Touted as the next “Eat, Pray, Love” but with “more heart,” the HarperCollins tome will hit shelves next week. And it already has dealmakers at Creative Artists Agency, Paradigm and United Talent Agency pushing to align their talent with the book ahead of its release.

“It’s worth optioning based on the title alone,” one top agent told us.

Paradigm was the first agency to get wind of emerging author Kristine Gasbarre’s true story in 2010 when it reviewed the first manuscript. Heigl was initially discussed as the ideal fit for the role. Hathaway and Rachel McAdams have also been mentioned.

We came across another possible future project via The Tracking Board. The site posted an article on February 15, 2011 with the title “Rachel McAdams Set To Play Sexy Con-Woman To Matthew McConaughey’s Master Thief!“. The article is only available for subscribers, so can not access the full article but the title suggests that Rachel is possibly involved in a project with Matthew McConaughey called “Brilliant“.

We tried to find more sources that confirm this news, or even more information on this project but we did not find any so we are kind of doubting if it’s true. It will help a lot if we have the complete article, so if someone has a subscription to The Tracking Board please send us an e-mail. The Tracking Board recently reported about a possible involvement in “Ecstasia” with James McAvoy but no confirmation so far.

Today we can update you with another new future project, earlier this week we reported Rachel was considered for “Ecstasia“ from writer/director Wayne Kramer.

Now the Hollywood Reporter is reporting David O Russell (The Figther) is testing actresses, including Rachel, this weekend for his upcoming movie “The Silver Linings Playbook” with Mark Wahlberg.

The next few days may very well determine which actress gets the golden ticket to star in The Silver Linings Playbook, director David O Russell’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning comeback film, The Fighter.

The Weinstein Co. movie again reteams Russell with his Fighter star Mark Wahlberg in the story of a man who suffers from a mental collapse and is released from a health facility determined to find the silver linings in his life.

The hot Hollywood role of the moment is that of a depressed woman who, when her husband dies, goes on a sexual spree, even at the cost of her job. She befriends the man and becomes his love interest.

According to insiders, Russell is intensely screen-testing the following in-demand actresses in Los Angeles starting today and going into the weekend: Elizabeth Banks, Kirsten Dunst, Blake Lively, Rooney Mara, Rachel McAdams, Andrea Riseborough and Olivia Wilde.

Sources also say Jennifer Lawrence may be in the running as well but that is unclear.

Russell is eyeing an August start date.

The Tracking Board posted an article about the possibility of Rachel and James McAvoy starring in the upcoming drama “Ecstasia“, written and directed by Wayne Kramer. The article is only accessible for subscribers of the site, but thanks to a James McAvoy forum we have the article.

We’re hearing James McAvoy and Rachel McAdams are both the frontrunners for Relativity Media and Wayne Kramer’s upcoming sci-fi love tale ECSTASIA. The film, which is ambitious both in scope and idea, takes place in an alternate universe where love doesn’t exist, but can be artificially simulated through a very expensive procedure known as “commitment”, which implants both people with computer chips that link up. The story follows one couple as they struggle to make their monthly “commitment” payment, or forever be turned off, and lost to one another.

McAvoy, who was most recently seen in “X:Men: First Class” is currently in preproduction on “Welcome To the Punch”. McAdams, who was most recently seen in Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris” has four films set for release, including “The Vow” and the sequel to “Sherlock Holmes”.

The story centers on a time in the future when love only exists through artificial creation at a high price, through a procedure simply known as “commitment,” and follows a couple who goes to desperate measures to try to afford the high price of love.
