+ Seth Green - whom you may recall from Robot Chicken, Family Guy, and Austin Powers - gives Larry King a compelling explanation as to why Ben Affleck is a poor choice as Batman in the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman film.
+ Bette Midler is set to appear at this Oscars this year - additionally, she'll be singing for the first time!
+ Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller is in talks with Warner Bros. and Barry Sonnenfeld to adapt the short-lived (and much-loved!) ABC series into a musical for Broadway, which would star Pushing Daisies alum Kristin Chenoweth. Fuller says that he is also contemplating a film adaptation.
+ Michael Patrick King, who wrote for the Sex and the City series and directed both film adaptations, says that there's one more story to tell for Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha - greatly hinting at the possibility of a third film.

Ferrell and Friel in ‘Land of the Lost’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
For his next film, comedian Will Ferrell will be taking a step back from his sports-related projects. After positioning himself on the race track, ice rink and basketball court—he will now find himself smack in the middle of a prehistoric world when he takes on the 70’s classic series, Land of the Lost.
The movie, based on the cult kid’s show, will also star Anna Friel of ABC’s newest hit, Pushing Daisies. The classic version (which I personally recall watching in the 80’s) centered around a family of three - father, daughter, son - who got themselves stuck on some strange island filled with dinosaurs and alien-like creatures. In this updated treatment, Ferrell will play a ‘disgraced paleontologist’ while Friel will be the obligatory love interest. (What this means for Cha-Ka and the kids, I don’t know.)
No estimated release date has been announced for the Universal production.
