Bryan Cranston, Cedric The Entertainer, Taraji P. Henson, Wilmer Valderrama, George Takei & More Join Tom Hanks' 'Larry Crowne'

In what be the first casting announcement to be broadcast via TwitPic, Tom Hanks has somewhat cryptically shared the cast for his forthcoming comedy “Larry Crowne” by posting a picture of the headshots of the cast involved.

Some detectie work has revealed that joining Hanks and his previously announced co-star Julia Roberts is an eclectic lineup that includes Peter Scolari, Bryan Cranston, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wilmer Valderrama, Jon Seda, Cedric the Entertainer, Taraji P. Henson, Rami Malek, Malcolm Barrett, Maria Canals Barrera, George Takei, Holmes Osborne, Dale Dye and Bob Stephenson. Phew.

Filming on the picture, which was written and is being directed by Hanks, begins in April in Los Angeles and is about a man who is forced to find a new career and reinvent himself as he enters the second half of his life. Universal Pictures will be releasing the film most likely in 2011.
