June 21, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Casting Leave a comment

“The Social Network” star Max Minghella has joined the cast of comedy “The Internship”, according to Variety. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson reunite for the workplace comedy that also has newcomcers Josh Brener, Tiya Sircar and Tobit Raphael in supporting roles.

Shawn Levy directs the “Wedding Crashers” co-stars who play old-school salesmen finding themselves quickly left behind in the new world of technology. They try to restart their careers by becoming interns at a high tech company, where they have to compete with early 20-somethings. Minghella will play a ruthless fellow intern who attempts to sabotage them in order to land himself a coveted full time job at the company.

Minghella, son of legendary director Anthony Mingella, began gaining notice after starring in the trio of “The Social Network”, “The Ides of March” and “The Darkest Hour” over the past two years. He’s currently filming thriller “Not Safe for Work” for “Captain America” director Joe Johnston.

Max Mingella will be “Not Safe For Work” in Universal’s low budget thriller alongside Eloise Mumford

Here’s a new and interesting take on the “killer plus innocent bystander” storyline.

Variety reports that Max Minghella is in talks to star in Universal’s low-budget thriller “Not Safe For Work”,  playing “a young paralegal trapped in an office with a killer on a secret mission to destroy files and anyone that stands in his path”. Eloise Mumford will play his girlfriend.

To be directed by Joe Johnston, from a script by Simon Boyes and Adam Mason, the film will be Minghella’s first lead role, after starring with George Clooney in “Syriana” and “The Ides of March”, playing Armie Hammer’s business partner in “The Social Network” and then opposite Emile Hirsch in the poorly-received “The Darkest Hour“.

Mumford, most recognisable for TV roles, is set to star alongside Miley Cyrus in “So Undercover”, out March this year, and is currently filming “Drones”, about the pilots of an unnamed air force done working above the skies in Afghanistan.
