Paul Thomas Anderson continues to cast his adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's novel "Inherent Vice," as Martin Short and Jena Malone are the latest additions to the star-studded ensemble, TheWrap has learned.
Warner Bros. did not immediately respond to a request for comment, while a representative for Malone had no comment.
Short and Malone are expected to join Joaquin Phoenix, Owen Wilson, Benicio Del Toro and Reese Witherspoon in the soft-boiled crime film, which follows a pot-smoking private detective named Doc Sportello (Phoenix) as he investigates a missing persons case that may have larger implications.
Malone will play a former drug addict who asks Sportello for help, while Short's small role is being kept under wraps.
