Kathryn Hahn Will No Longer Be Playing Joan Rivers In “The Comeback Girl,” Because No One Obtained The Life Rights For The Project

Deadline reports that Kathryn Hahn will appear in Knives Out 2. She’ll join new cast members Dave Bautista, Edward Norton, and Janelle Monae.

This ragtag group of newbies will join Daniel Craig, who’s getting big bucks to reprise his role as the southern detective who kinda sounds like Kevin Spacey in House of Cards. Oo, this just in! Knives Out 2 has added Kevin Spacey! Ha. No. Continue reading
