Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Just a few days ago we ran a story on the casting of Michelle Monaghan in DJ Caruso's DISTURBIA follow-up EAGLE EYE, starring Shia LaBeouf. Now we have new news... well, not really new news. Kevin Smith kinda broke this a few days ago on his MySpace page... linking to an MTV.com interview... So, it's just us that are slow. Sorry...

Apparently, Rosario Dawson was originally going to star in Smith's ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO, the part even written for her, but when Smith changed up his shooting schedule (he swapped his horror movie RED STATE to roll second, instead of first) Dawson had to drop out, having already committed to EAGLE EYE.

In the flick LaBeouf and Monaghan are framed as terrorists and somehow end up joining a cell with plans for political assassination. Dawson will play a government agent tracking them.

To make up for our tardiness on Ms. Dawson's movements, I'll break a bit of casting news on ZACK AND MIRI in one or two stories... look for it!
