Hugh Dancy, Kathryn Hahn, Shirley Knight, and Janet Montgomery are the latest to join the comedy My Idiot Brother, which stars Paul Rudd as a man “who upends the lives” of his three sisters, who are portrayed by Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer, and Elizabeth Banks. Knight will appear as Rudd’s mother, while Dancy will play a friend of Rudd’s sister. Hahn will play Rudd’s ex, who surely would have stayed with him had she gotten a taste of a little Sex Panther.

Perfect casting!

Tinkerbell is getting ready to take flight at Disney in “Tink,” a live-action romantic comedy that has Elizabeth Banks attached to star and Adam Shankman, Jennifer Gibgot and McG guiding the pic’s flightplan to the bigscreen as producers.

Concept for the project, for which the deals are being wrapped up, plays with the mischievous nature of the Tinkerbell character.

Elizabeth Banks is known for quirky, funny roles in movies like Zach and Miri Make a Porno, but for her next movie, she’ll be teaming up with cinematic heavyweight Russell Crowe and all his Oscar gravitas for drama The Next Three Days.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film is based on Pour Elle, a French thriller, about a man who tries to save his wife after she’s arrested and convicted for a murder she says she didn’t commit.

Russell and Elizabeth will star as husband and wife in the movie, which will be directed, written and produced by Paul Haggis, the Oscar winner behind 2004’s Crash.
