Will Sarah be in the “blood-spattered dark comedy,” Gravy? The press began naming her in the cast last week, along with Sutton Foster, Paul Rodriguez, and other notables.  The movie, directed by Psych star, James Roday,  is said to follow ”three friends who head to a Mexican cantina on Halloween night with a taste for more than what is on the menu.” The Hollywood Reporter says principal photography began Friday (April 5).

With the understanding that stories like this often don’t end up coming true, we bring you today’s news about a possible future movie role for Sarah.

Sarah Silverman is in negotiations to join the high-wattage cast of Seth MacFarlane’s Western comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West, The Hollywood Reporter [3] has learned.

MRC is behind the movie, which boasts a cast that so far includes Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, and Giovanni Ribisi. MacFarlane, whose Ted grossed $545.8 million worldwide, co-wrote the script and is directing and starring.

A Million Ways to Die follows a cowardly sheep farmer (MacFarlane) who chickens out of a gunfight and sees his girlfriend (Seyfried) leave him for another man. When a mysterious woman (Theron) rides into town, she helps him find his courage. But when her outlaw husband (Neeson) arrives seeking revenge, the farmer must put his newfound courage to the test.

Sources say Silverman would play the town’s well-worn prostitute, who engages in all sorts of lewd activities but refuses to have sex with her fiancé (Ribisi), believing that as Christians the couple should wait until marriage before lying down together.

Silverman might be coming off a voice-staring gig in Walt Disney Animation’s all-ages hit Wreck-It Ralph, but the Million Ways to Die role seems perfectly tailored for the comedienne’s penchant for filth and cussing.

A spring production start is being eyed for the comedy, which is being produced by Scott Stuber, Jason Clark and MacFarlane

Silverman is best known for her TV and stand-up work (she’s touring this spring). She last appeared on the big-screen in 2011’s The Muppets and co-starred in Sarah Polley’s Take This Waltz. She also was at the South By Southwest Festival earlier this month to launch a YouTube comedy channel called JASH.

Silverman is repped by CAA, Thruline and Ziffren Brittenham.

The online guide, ViewLondon, published this interview with Sarah and Wreck-It Ralph director Rich Moore.

Firstly congratulations, this is not just Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph, this is the Oscar-nominated, Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph! Do you have plans to go to the ceremony and have you got a tux ready and waiting?

Rich Moore

I thought I’d make it myself. Yeah, it’s all set. It’s a very strange type of thing because there’s really nothing like an awards show where it feels competitive but you’re not competing. It’s not like the Olympics or it’s not like the Super Bowl, it’s judgement being handed down. You have to dress up nice and go to a big place and sit there and wait for someone to hand down judgement on something that was done months ago.

Sarah Silverman

I think that if the movie teaches us anything, it’s that a medal is not what’s most important.

Rich Moore

So here’s hoping we win that Oscar!

Oscar isn’t a medal, though. If you won an Oscar would you wear it round your neck like a medal or what would you do with it?

Sarah Silverman

It’s made of metal.

Rich Moore

It’s made of metal. I don’t know if you could comfortably wear it.

Give it a go.

Rich Moore

If that’s what you want, then yeah.

Ralph is trying to attain something for the very first time, he’s trying to win a medal for the first time. So do you know what that feels like and what’s the first thing that both of you won? (more…)

Sarah was all over London today, plugging Wreck-It Ralph, which has its British opening this week, the same week as the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards will be held, and Sarah will have a stand up show at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre.  She was in street clothes at BBC Radio, then dressed up spiffily for a Meet the Filmmakers event at the Regent Street Apple Store as well as at a pre-BAFTA party at the Savoy Hotel.
