The new Woody Allen film has just added another name to its giant constellation of a cast. Nicole Kidman has just signed on to star in the writer-director's next film, which is set to start filming in London this summer. The cast list already includes a whopping amount of talent. Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Freida Pinto, Antonio Banderas and Naomi Watts are all on board to help make one of Woody's most heavily cast films.

The project still has no title (and won't have one for a while), and will be produced by Letty Aronson, Steve Tenenbaum, and Jaume Roures. It will be financed by Mediapro, the Spanish company that funded Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Whatever Works, Woody's latest film, finally has a stateside theatrical release date of June 19.

Casting is almost finalized for The Three Stooges, a film using the classic comedic trio to be made by the Farrelly Brothers and produced by MGM. So far, Sean Penn and Jim Carrey are signed on to the project. Penn will play Larry, and Carrey is in negotiations to play Curly. The actor has already made plans to gain forty pounds for the role, which will put his weight very close to that of the original Jerome "Curly" Howard.

Benicio Del Toro is targeted by the studio to play the role of Moe.

According to Variety, the film is not a biopic, but rather a "comedy built around the antics of the three characters that [Moe, Larry, and Curley] played in the Columbia Pictures shorts. It is unclear whether this will be some

Some not-so-awesome and some totally awesome news involving the world of the Transformers films. First, the not-so-awesome. Less than three days ago, the highways of the film internets were ablaze with news that the third Transformers film had a set release date of July 4th, 2011.

However, faster than Soundwave can turn into a tape player, director Michael Bay has recently divulged on his website that this is not entirely the case. Rather, the Bay-ster has said that when he agreed to do the film, he meant that it would come out in 2012, not 2011.

"That would mean I would have to start prep in September. No way. My brain needs a break from fighting robots," wrote the director. At the same time, he has broken his fan's hearts, but

When talking about Mickey Rourke, don't call it a comeback. That's an understatement. Mickey Rourke is devouring movie roles like protein shakes (if those tasted any good). Currently, he has five solid projects (according to IMDB.com) that are set to hit movie theaters in only two years.

His latest confirmed role will be one of his biggest. According to Variety, Rourke is officially signed on to be in Iron Man 2. He will play the Russian villain Ivan/Whiplash in the sequel to Jon Favreau's blockbuster film. He will be joining a cast that already has the following names confirmed: Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle, Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Samuel L. Jackson.

Reportedly, Rourke was originally dancing around a low paycheck of $250,000 to be in the film. However, with the help of

The list of potential directors for the third Twilight film, Eclipse, continues to grow. Earlier, we were thinking actress Drew Barrymore might get the job. Now, a new name has been added to the list.

The new candidate is Juan Antonio Bayona - the man who directed the heavily praised Spanish horror film The Orphanage. He is considered by many movie websites as the "protege of Guillermo Del Toro." Bayona's projects have always been supported by the Pan's Labyrinth director.

Sources have told The Hollywood Reporter that Bayona is actually a finalist in the race to direct Eclipse, but the studio that owns the franchise, Summit, refuses to comment. A representative only said that the studio is looking at a number of candidates. Previously mentioned candidates range from Walk the Line director James

Kevin Smith helped Zack and Miri Make A Porno, and now it seems that Smith is going to make something equally as tasteless. Variety is reporting that Smith is set to direct Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan in - you guessed it - a buddy comedy. The two play police officers who are caught up in various adventures - finding a stolen baseball card, rescuing a pretty lady, all while dealing with gangsters and laundered drug money.

The title? As of now, it has the super original, extremely interesting title of A Couple of Cops. Originally, Smith wanted it to be named A Couple of Dicks, which would've been nice Smith flair - but no dice. Maybe before its released (on a date that is unknown) it will be called simply Paycheck.

Remember that new Christopher Nolan movie we told you about? Prepare to get excited even more. Variety is reporting that Leonardo DiCaprio is in final negotiations to star in Nolan's latest, Inception.

The new film from the Dark Knight director is said to be "a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind." Much else about the film is being kept under wraps, but the information provided to us common folk is enough: Leo, Christopher Nolan, and a phrase like "architecture of the mind." Sounds like this film is definitely going to be a trip.

Aiming for a Summer 2010 release, the original script by Nolan would be his next project, and it is still uncertain whether a third Batman movie would follow.

Be Kind Rewind and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind director Michel Gondry is set to direct Seth Rogen's version of The Green Hornet. Gondry was handed the job after wowing production president Doug Belgrad and Matt Tolmach with his particular vision of the film.

Rogen is set to star in the film as superhero Britt Reid, who is a newspaper publisher by day and a crime fighter by night. Earlier this year, Stephen Chow (Kung-Fu Hustle) was in talks to direct the film, but will now only play the part of Kato - the Hornet's sidekick. That particular role was once played by Bruce Lee.

The Green Hornet started as a radio show in the 1930s, but became arguably more popular during its TV adaptation in the 1960's.

The film, set for release

Director Gore Verbinski is finally getting a Clue. Universal Studios has attached the director of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy to adapt the famous Hasbro board game to the big screen. He will work on the film through his company Blind Wink, and will share producing duties with Hasbro's Bennet Schneir and Brian Goldner.

By the way Blind Wink senior vice president Jonathan Krauss describes the project, it doesn't sound like it will be very similar to the adaptation from 1985 starring Tim Curry. Instead, Krauss has called it "a global thriller and transmedia even that uses deductive reasoning as its storytelling engine."

This idea of upgrading a board game is not new to Hasbro - the company has other projects in or near production based on their products. Transformers: Revenge of
