It's been almost a month since this was posted ("filming to start any day"). Why haven't we heard anything about the cast?
I'm sure that Tim will soon be posting tonight's ShadowGram in its entirety, but here's an excerpt from it that answers your question
As you've probably gathered from a few of my recent posts, I subscribe to Variety's Web site. SG and Midnite got the jump on me with this, though, because the e-mail containing the news of Shelton's casting didn't come in until 03:38:09 am EST, and I didn't download/check out today's news stories until just a few minutes ago. But so long as the word gets out, it surely doesn't matter who posts it.
For what it's worth, this is what Variety had to say (which is a whole lot less than SG has reported, but does include a credit that hasn't been mentioned yet):
'Kat,' 'Call' add thesps to pilots

...
Also, thesps Jonathan Silverman ("The Single Guy"), Shemar Moore ("The Young and the Restless"), Marley Shelton ("Uptown Girls"), Missi Pyle ("Big Fish"), Justin Chatwin ("Traffic") and James Pickens Jr. ("The Lyon's Den") all secured key gigs.

In other casting news:
...
Shelton will play Victoria Winters in the WB's new Mark Verheiden/John Wells/Dan Curtis version of "Dark Shadows." Drama, from Warner Bros. TV and Wells, is a remake of the classic Gothic soap. Shelton's other credits include "Just a Kiss."[/b]
From "Uptown Girls" Official Web Site:
Other key roles were cast with actors with whom the filmmakers were already familiar from other projects. Producer Stevens had recently directed Marley Shelton in his film Just A Kiss, and actor Donald Faison worked with Boaz Yakin on Remember the Titans. Yakin says he immediately knew he wanted both actors for Uptown Girls.
"I had to have Marley Shelton as Ingrid," Boaz Yakin says. "She's able to convey Ingrid's sensitivity and high strung-qualities, and she's just a really good actress." Unfortunately, though, if there are any photos of her on the site, I couldn't find them.
She might appear in the trailer, but unless they identify the character Ingrid in it, without knowing what Shelton looks like, obviously we're not likely to spot her, so I didn't bother to check it out.
However, if anyone else is curious, you can access the site

Hopefully this will be the start of several such reports in the coming days.
