Actor Sean Penn has always had an eclectic career, but since he won his second Best Actor Oscar for 2008's Milk, Penn has appeared in a variety of projects, including playing real-life diplomat Joseph Wilson in the docudrama thriller Fair Game and in a supporting role in director Terence Malick's poetic drama The Tree of Life.
Penn's latest role is a wealthy, soft-spoken rock star named Cheyenne in director Paolo Sorrentino's This Must Be the Place, which premiered in May at the Cannes Film Festival to reportedly mixed reviews. The movie, which follows Penn as he travels to reconnect with his dying father and then treks to find the Nazi officer that tortured his father during World War II, is Sorrentino's first movie in English, but has already secured a release in France, which why Twitch was able to track down a French-subtitled international trailer for the movie. For those wondering, yes, Penn's look was modeled after Robert Smith of the rock band The Cure.

Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy are getting more help for the growing cast of their upcoming comedy Tower Heist. After the recent additions of Tea Leoni, Gabourey Sidibe, and Michael Pena, director Brett Ratner have added Matthew Broderick and Casey Affleck.
The action comedy sees Stiller as a building manager of a tower residence that rallies his co-workers to get revenge on the Bernie Madoff-esque penthouse resident (Alan Alda) who defrauded the staff of their pensions through a Ponzi scheme. Deadline reports that Broderick will play "Chase Fitzhugh, a Wall Street guy" who also had his fortunes reversed by Alda's character.
Affleck, THR reports, will play Stiller's friend and co-worker who is against the revenge plot and wants to turn in Stiller and his co-conspirators. Judd Hirsch has also joined the movie in an unspecified role.
Production begins on Tower Heist next month in New York.
