Something must be spurring HBO to cast creatively this week, because hot on the heels of slotting Julianne Moore to play Sarah Palin in Game Change, the network has added Metallica’s Lars Ulrich to Hemingway and Gellhorn, starring Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen. Ulrich will play Dutch documentarian Joris Ivens in the TV movie, which chronicles the stormy marriage between Ernest Hemingway and war correspondent Martha Gellhorn; David Strathairn, Parker Posey, and Tony Shalhoub have been added to the cast as well. (And yes, we’re excited about this simply on the Kidman-Ulrich height differential alone.) [Deadline]
