What do you do when you have two of the best comedic actors in the business – Paul Rudd and Jason Segel – slated for your new comedy? How about adding an Emmy-winning female presence to the mix?

This morning I sent a note out to the FSR Editorial team, letting them know that today was going to be an intentionally slow news…

This little tidbit comes to us from our most faithful spy, PatientZero, the humanoid who brought us the news about The Blob hitting the big screen in Wolverine. This time, he comes to us with news that will tickle the fancy of any Joss Whedon fan — and we know that there are a lot of you out there.

According to MTV’s Movie Blog, Tom Hanks won’t be playing Guy Montag for Frank Darabont’s adaptation of Fahrenheit 451 after all. For a film that has been floating the rocky studio seas since 1994, this is another incredible set back.

Earlier this month, we reported that the film was expelled from Australia based on not being able to get a tax break from the Australian government, and was forced to move to Canada to complete principal photography. Today, our friends at Cinema Blend got a great casting scoop from a reader in British Columbia.

Like a hirsute, yet delightfully overweight, male burlesque dancer, director Kevin Smith raised our temperatures about Zack and Miri Make a Porno without revealing too much in his latest interview with News Askew fans. Despite Neil punching me in the shoulder every five minutes to rhetorically ask me how cool Kevin Smith is, I’ve had some time to process the interview and came to a few conclusions.

Remember Lindsay Lohan? That lovable scamp that melted our hearts in Disney’s remakes of its own movies, then grew up, flashed her special parts to the public, and made crappy movies between stints in rehab? Whatever happened to her?

The whispers of a sequel have been floating around, fueled by director Francis Lawrence claiming in an interview that a second Constantine might be an origin story or a continuation. But Keanu has something different to say.

So The Dark Knight is only 113 days away, and you don’t know your Carmine Falcone from your Selena Kyle. Should you be publicly and humiliatingly punished? Probably, but the folks over at ComicMix have paid your bail by creating a really cool list of the ‘Batman’ comics you’ll need to brush up on before heading to the box office.
