Folks from JoBlo got wind from a scooper about possible casting for Robert Rodriguez's portion of "Grind House". Latest rumours bring Josh Brolin, Freddy Rodriguez and Jeff Fahey along previously speculated Michael Biehn and Marley Shelton.

Harry Potter book 6 has been named the year's number 1 by the British Book Awards, held on March 29th. Author Rowling told press and attendees that the last entry in the series was coming along on schedule.

Freddy Prinze Jr. signed to co-star opposite writer-director Vanessa Parisse for "Dick and Jane v. the World", not to be confused with the classic George Segal-Jane Fonda classic, nor its remake starring Jim Carrey. The story sees square guy Dick fall for his free-spirited Roommate Jane, a lady with too big a secret. Filming starts this May in LA.

Die Hard 4.0 seems to be surfacing again, with recent rumors of Justin Timberlake being pushed by star Bruce Willis to play his son. The folks at Moviesonline claim the story to have McLane and son involved in a terrorist plot. They also hint at production taking place in Willis's beloved Montreal.

Hinting at her own comeback on the horizon, actress Michelle Pfeiffer is rumoured to be in talks to join John Travolta and friends on the "Hairspray" redo. The lady isn't unfamiliar to singing duties, having pierced the screen as a sultry songstress in "The Fabulous Baker Boys".

The Hollywood Reporter drove a final stake in the heart for fans of "Arrested Development", bringing news that series star Jeffrey Tambor has signed on for a new NBC sitcom to premiere in the fall. Recent hopes that Showtime might pick up the series to carry it on are therefore undeniably crushed.
