The much-downloaded Shannon Elizabeth has joined the cast of Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back , writes the Hollywood Reporter. The Hollywood Reporter writes that Connie Nielsen , last seen sporting really cool jewelry in Gladiator , will join Tommy Lee Jones in The Hunted , about an FBI tracker searching a trained assassin. And our pick for Most Intriguing Ensemble Cast of the Week goes to The Man from Elysian Fields , a drama from director George Hickenlooper, whose cast includes Andy Garcia, Julianne Margulies, Mick Jagger, Olivia Williams, Anjelica Huston, and James Coburn.
