From the Sahara to the Sunshine of New Mexico

Steve Zahn’s latest role in “Sunshine” creator’s film


Steve Zahn is headed to Mexico for some taco’s, corona’s and…. The good company of Amy Adams and Emily Blunt.

The “Sahara” star has snagged a role in Christine Jeffs’ dark comedy “Sunshine Cleaning”, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Zahn plays Mac, a married police officer having an affair with Rose Lorkowski (Adams), the co-owner of a firm that cleans up messy crime scenes. Alan Arkin and Blunt play Rose’s relatives and partners in the family business.

Principal photography began Friday on “Cleaning,” which is set and being filmed in New Mexico.

Clifton Collins, Jr., Eric Christian Olsen and Kevin Chapman co-star. The film is produced by “Little Miss Sunshine” filmmakers Jeb Brody, Peter Saraf, Marc Turtletaub and “Hollywoodland” producer Glenn Williamson.

The script is terrific. Very fun stuff. Hopefully we’ll have ourselves another “Little Miss Sunshine” before year’s out.

Was Lost, but now Taken
