James Remar, best known for his role as Samantha's boyfriend on HBO's "Sex and the City," has been added to the cast of Miramax Films' "Duplex" as well the indie feature "Fear X." At the same time, the actor has signed on for at least three more episodes of the award-winning HBO series, beginning with the first three shows of the next season. Remar will begin shooting "Duplex" this month before segueing into the other two projects next month. "Duplex," directed by Danny DeVito, tells the story of a young couple (Drew Barrymore and Ben Stiller) offered a dream apartment in Manhattan that they can occupy only when the current inhabitant, a cute old lady, leaves. Murder appears to be the only solution. Remar will play Chick, a slick hit man who fronts as a pornographer.
