Sure Shots: Gangster Squad; R.I.P.D.; John C. McGinley joins I, Alex Cross


* Mireille Enos, who only recently bagged her first major movie role as Brad Pitt's wife in World War Z, has just landed another one. She'll join the amazing assemblage of talent in Ruben Fleischer's crime drama, Gangster Squad. She'll join Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Anthony Mackie, Michael Pena, Emma Stone, Giovanni Ribisi, Robert Patrick, and Holt McCallany. Enos will play the pregnant wife to Brolin's character. [THR]

* Just because Green Lantern sucked ass doesn't mean Ryan Reynolds is done with comic book movies. He'll be starring in R.I.P.D. alongside Jeff Bridges and Kevin Bacon, playing an undead cop who teams with a deceased Old West Gunslinger to walk the supernatural beat. The latest addition to the cast is Stephanie Szostak(Dinner for Schmucks), who will play Reynold's still living widow. Robert Schwentke is directing. [THR]

* John C. McGinley, probably best recognized for his role as one of the company consultants in Office Space, has joined the cast of I, Alex Cross. The film stars Tyler Perry in the role made famous by Morgan Freeman in Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. Rob Cohen(Stealth) is directing this early tale of the famous detective, with Matthew Fox playing the murderer of Cross's wife, sparking a game of cat and mouse. Jean Reno and Ed Burns co-star, with McGinley playing Cross's boss. [Variety]
