by Matt Goldberg Posted: April 20th, 2011
Fox Searchlight has released the trailer for the coming-of-age drama The Art of Getting By (formerly titled Homework). I caught the film at Sundance and kind of loathed the hell out of it, but maybe you like cloying movies with underdeveloped characters whining about how hard life is for white upper-class teenagers living in New York City. If you enjoy movies like that, you will love The Art of Getting By.Hit the jump to check out the trailer plus two new images from the film. The Art of Getting By also stars Michael Angarano, Rita Wilson, and Blair Underwood. The film opens in limited release on June 17th...................
Susan Sarandon, David Arquette and Adam Brody in Talks for Rosanna Arquette’s HEMLOCK DRIVE
by Adam Chitwood Posted: April 20th, 2011
A trio of actors are now in negotiations to star in Rosanna Arquette’s next directorial effort. Susan Sarandon, David Arquette and Adam Brody are in talks to star in the dramedy Hemlock Drive. The Wrap reports that the film centers on an eccentric mother in Connecticut who learns she is dying and brings her three adult children back home for a weekend.
Sarandon is in talks to play the mother, while David Arquette is eyeing the role of a man who owns a nearby bar. Brody is negotiations for the part of Sarandon’s son. The script was written by Jennifer Carta and Mandy Steckelberg, and marks the narrative feature directorial debut of Rosanna Arquette, as she previously helmed the documentaries Searching for Debra Winger and All We Are Saying. Given the Terms of Endearment-esque nature of Hemlock Drive’s plot, it’s easy to see Arquette’s attraction to the project. Shooting begins this September in Louisiana.

by Matt Goldberg Posted: April 20th, 2011
The first trailer for The Change-Up has gone online along with the poster and a couple of images. The film is a body-switching comedy like Freaky Friday except instead of kooky hijinks that bring a mother and daughter closer together, it’s a raunchy, foul-mouthed set of hijinks that centers on two estranged friends played by Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman. Bateman is the uptight family man while Reynolds’ character is a man-child who dreams of making it big as a Hollywood actor even though he lives in Atlanta. I got to visit the set earlier this year and I really liked what I saw, so hopefully the film lives up to my expectations.
Hit the jump to check out the red-band trailer, poster, and new images. The film also stars Leslie Mann, Olivia Wilde, and Alan Arkin. The Change-Up opens August 5th.

Casting Call: Lindsay Lohan Drops out of GOTTI; Jacki Weaver Joins FIVE YEAR ENGAGEMENT; Four Join BETWEEN US UPDATED
by Matt Goldberg Posted: April 20th, 2011
We have some assorted casting news for you this afternoon. First up, Lindsay Lohan has dropped out of the role of Victoria Gotti in Gotti: Three Generations. According to TMZ “money was an issue, but the various demands of her management team just got out of control.” Apparently no one told Lohan’s management team that their client’s work was going straight-to-DVD and that a supporting role alongside John Travolta and Joe Pesci might be a worthwhile career boost. The news of Lohan’s departure comes on the heels of director Nick Cassavetes (The Notebook) leaving the project earlier this week.
Hit the jump for casting news regarding Nicholas Stoller’s Five Year Engagement and an adaptation of the off-Broadway production Between Us.
[Update: THR now reports that Lohan will be appearing in Gotti, but not as Victoria. She'll now take on the role of John Gotti Jr.'s wife.]
