While we all strive to honor the heroes of September 11th, 2001, even 10 years later, it’s rather tough to hold strong and not let the intense emotion get the better of you. We’d like to express our respect and gratitude for all the noble souls fighting for this country and condolences to all of those mourning loved ones. Of course, as of tomorrow, another anniversary will have come and gone, and we’d like to help you push forward with a little movie news to brighten your week and hopefully make the effort to overcome that much more enjoyable. We’ve got some stellar casting news to share involving Academy Award…

Better late than never, right? Thanks to a certain hurricane that shall remain nameless, your weekly Movie News Cheat Sheet comes a day late, but gives you all of the movie discussion topics necessary to help you ride out the rest of the work week with ease. We’ve got some big casting news in the mix, ranging from solid confirmations to rumors. Alexander Skarsgård is all set for Henry-Alex Rubin’s Disconnect, but Simon West is still merely working with a wish list when casting The Expendables 2. Joe Kosinski has a nice group of ladies all vying to star in Horizons opposite Tom Cruise and Rob Corddry is close to…

Heather Graham has signed on to star alongside Rob Corddry in FOX’s new comedy pilot ‘Little In Common,’ Deadline is reporting. Graham replaces Paula Marshall, who appeared in the original pilot, in the single-camera comedy series, which will be produced by Rob Thomas and WBTV. The news of the actress’ hiring comes after she had a recurring role on ‘Scrubs’ in 2005, and her 2006 sitcom ‘Emily’s Reasons Why Not’ was canceled by ABC after only one episode. ‘Little In Common’ follows the Wellers, played by Corddry and Graham, who move from California to Texas. They discover the move isn’t as easy as expected, as their Latina single mother neighbor,…

The Weinstein Company and Rainmaker Entertainment have announced the all-star cast that will be a part of the upcoming 3D CGI-animated film “Escape from Planet Earth.” The cast for the film includes Brendan Fraser, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Alba, Rob Corddry, James Gandolfini and Craig Robinson. “’Escape From Planet Earth’ has got it all… explosions, romance and a cast of hilarious aliens….what more could you ask for?” said director Cal Brunker (“Despicable Me,” “9″, “Horton Hears a Who!”). “We are having a great time making it which is coming across on the screen.

Emma Roberts doesn’t only hang out at parties with the kids from Twelve and run from the killer in Scream 4, she plays basketball too! ComingSoon has two new images of Roberts on the set of James C. Strouse’s upcoming comedy The Winning Season. The film stars Sam Rockwell as Bill, a former basketball star who loses it all to booze. He gets a second chance when asked to coach his daughter’s high school varsity basketball team. This one’s been around for quite a while. Images first started floating around back in 2008, just before it made its debut at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. Lionsgate picked up the piece…

Clearly a comedy starring Rob Corddry isn’t bulletproof, but someone out there recognized the depths of his hilarity in Hot Tub Time Machine and hired the former The Daily Show with Jon Stewart correspondent to join the cast of the dramedy Butter. The film already boasts big names including Jennifer Garner and Kate Hudson, but Corddry’s comedic prowess is a welcomed addition. Just as notable as the cast is the script. Jason Micallef’s piece found itself in the #3 position on the 2008 Black List. It involves an Iowa woman (Garner) hoping to take the butter carving title that once belonged to her husband. When a young orphan girl (Yara…

I’ve done a lot of interviews, but never once has the interviewee beat me to the first question. Not only did Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink throw a question my way before I could ask him one, but he asked me something totally predictable and simplistic, yet a question that caught me completely off guard. He wanted to know what I thought about his movie. When you’re talking about a project that involves four guys time traveling back to the 80s via hot tub, you’d think there isn’t much to discuss except the pure instantly of the situation. But, no, Hot Tub Time Machine has much more to…

Check out the latest movie poster from the upcoming comedy “Lower Learning” by director Mark Lafferty (The Seventh Sense) and starring Jason Biggs (American Pie), Eva Longoria Parker (Desperate Housewives) and Rob Corddry (Semi-Pro, W.) Synopsis: Barry Goldwater Elementary is on the brink of collapse: the lowest test scores in the state, teachers who are either drunk or having sex on school grounds, and a principal who extorts money from parents. It’s up to Tom, the down-on-his-luck vice-principal, to rally the lazy teachers, expose the principal’s corruption, and turn the school around before an end of the day board decision that is certain to lead to its closure. Stay tuned…
