Chad Allen and Patrick Muldoon cast as couple in indie film...

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,chad.jpg ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Patmuldoon.jpg A gay wedding is the setting for an independent screwball comedy called "For Better or for Worse" that is set to begin shooting in June with a terrific cast that so far includes Chad Allen, Janeane Garofalo, Rebecca Gayheart, Soleil Moon Frye, Patrick Muldoon and Brad Rowe who is also writing and producing.

I'm always happy to see Chad Allen cast in a project because he is always good and I want out actors like him to enjoy as much success as possible. As for Patrick Muldoon, sheesh, I've had a crush on him since before he did "Melrose Place." Those blue eyes are to die for.

I talked to Brad last week about the movie (our interivew will be posted on Sunday) and he is really excited about the project which will be directed by Joshua Tunick: "It's in the vein of 'The Anniversay Party,' 'The Big Chill' - a weekend event film that all takes place in one house," he said. "Rather than being a funeral or a birthday party, the central event of the weekend is a gay wedding."

Frye, best-known as television's "Punky Brewster," will play the lesbian minister presiding over the ceremony at the home of one groom's mother (Ruta Lee). The guests include the jilted ex of one of the grooms and his new beau (Muldoon and Allen), a closeted neighbor (Stanley Kamel), a wallflower sister (Gayheart), a family-man brother (Rowe) and his nanny (Garofalo), who has a bombshell to drop.

There is still a key role to be cast - one of the grooms - but Brad's lips were sealed on who it might be.
