Lauren Weedman Joins Judd Apatow-Produced FIVE YEAR ENGAGEMENT
by Adam Chitwood Posted: April 14th, 2011
Actress Lauren Weedman (The Daily Show, Hung) has joined the cast of director/co-writer Nicholas Stoller’s Five Year Engagement. The impressive cast of the Judd Apatow-produced comedy now includes Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Alison Brie, Chris Pratt and Rhys Ifans. The film follows a young couple’s (Segel and Blunt) extended engagement and the bumps and bruises that they undergo along the way.
THR reports that Weedman will portray a “hard-nosed head chef” at the restaurant where Segel’s character works. When we last reported, the film was expected to start production towards the end of April. No word on whether that’s still the case. This marks a reunion of sorts for Stoller and Segel, as the director previously helmed the Segel-penned Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Stoller’s most recent outing was Get Him to the Greek.

James McAvoy Thinks "Wanted 2" Won't Happen
Posted: April 15th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
It's been a few months since we last heard anything about a "Wanted" sequel. Now that James McAvoy is out there promoting several of his movies, IGN decided to get a quick update.
"I know that the script came out a while back which I don't think they were happy with," he said. "I don't think Angelina [Jolie] was up for doing it. That is kind of why she got herself killed in the first one."
McAvoy added: "I think that if you are going to go without Angelina then you need to have an amazing script and an amazing story. I think the studio is keen to make it, and we really want to make it, but we want to make it if it's right, and that might not be ever."
At this point, the actor believes a "Wanted" sequel has a better chance if it will revolve around a completely different character. He explained: "My worry was always that if we do a sequel, where is the character going to go? We hung our movie off this guy's life journey, and he's had that life journey now, so what do you hang the movie off? Maybe they'll do it in the future with a whole new kid - a new lead character."
