Five years ago, there is no way you would have been able to tell January Jones and Diane Kruger apart just by looking at their photos. Jones had a big part in American Wedding, of course, and Kruger was the most beautiful woman in history in Troy, but come one. They're both unbelievably gorgeous blondes with blue eyes who, until recently, were more likely to play eye candy than characters with real substance.
But in 2009, of course, Jones and Kruger are Betty Draper and Bridget von Hammersmark, respectively, which means seeing the two of them together in a movie will be a real treat. Variety reports that they'll play two of the women in Liam Neeson's life as he tracks down an identity thief in Unknown White Male (yes, Neeson seems to be attempting to single-handedly rid the world of bad guys with every new film role he takes). Jones will play his wife, who doesn't believe his story about the identity thief, and Kruger plays a Berlin taxi driver (just go with it) who helps him track down the crook.
It'll be hilarious if Neeson hooks up with Kruger while his wife is at home, if only for the Mad Men viewers. But mostly I hope that they both get to get in on the action-- Kruger clearly can handle a gun as we learned in Basterds, and Jones is capable of a thousand-yard stare than can put ice in your veins. Go to it, ladies.
