"Community" star Alison Brie is reportedly dating actor Dave Franco, and we have a feeling they are going to become one of our favorite celebrity couples of the year.
According to Us Weekly, Brie, 29, and Franco, 26 -- who is the younger brother of actor/scholar/artist/blogger James Franco -- have been quietly seeing each other for close to six months. Who knew!
Brie currently stars on the newly renewed NBC sitcom, alongside Joel McHale and Donald Glover, and appears as a recurring character on AMC's "Mad Men." Franco, meanwhile, has appeared on "Scrubs" and in the big-screen version of "21 Jump Street," and recently wrapped production on "Now You See Me."
Head over to Us Weekly to see an adorable photo of the couple shopping together in La.

The 8 Hottest Brothers of Hot Celebrities
16 May 2012 1:12 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Most hot celebrities are freakish genetic flukes who relate only to other hot celebrities. That's a fact. But sometimes, very rarely, a hot celebrity will have a similarly hot (or hotter!) sibling whose attractiveness often goes under-appreciated. I can no longer stand this injustice. Here are my top eight choices for the sexiest brothers of well-documented hot celebrities. Note: I didn't include competitively famous brothers like Baldwins or Hemsworths. That's too easy and not weird enough for me.
8. Zac Efron's brother Dylan
So, Zac Efron is an untouchable Mattel hottie of the highest order. Fine. His invincibility should take nothing away from the hots of his 20-year-old brother Dylan, who clearly wants his chiseled physique eaten up by paparazzi and distributed throughout blogospheria. Let's honor that dream.
7. Adam Levine's brother Michael

'Now You See Me' Moves To March 2013, Robert Zemeckis' 'Flight' Gets November Release, 'Guilt Trip' Pushed To Christmas
10 May 2012 3:51 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Just when you thought it was all about 2013 now for the studios, the leftover holes in the 2012 film calendar are getting filled up quick. While many, including us, were expecting it to be a 2013 picture, Paramount has announced that Robert Zemeckis' "Flightplan" (now simply known as "Flight") starring Denzel Washington will land in theaters on November 2. Oscar-watch? Hmm, hard to tell and our gut says no, but this one does read more drama than actioner. It's got a fairly easy run, opening against teen movie "21 And Over" and Disney animation "Wreck-It Ralph," although 007 flick "Skyfall" follows the week after. Co-starring Don Cheadle, Brian Geraghty, John Goodman, James Badge Dale and Bruce Greenwood, "Flight" centers on an airline pilot (Washington) who saves a plane from crashing, but an investigation into the malfunctions reveals something troubling: his alcohol issues.
Paramount is also evidently feeling pretty good about "The Guilt Trip." About »

Sibling Rivalry: Vote for Your Favorite Brothers and Sisters
10 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
They may be brothers and sisters in real life, but in the acting world, sibling actors are often fierce competitors. Sometimes they're even up for the same roles.
You could call these cases of sibling rivalry being played out on the big screen a real family affair, along the lines of "Mom always liked you best."
We've come up with a list of top actors who have competing brothers or sisters. Vote on your favorites of each brother-brother, brother-sister or sister-sister pairing -- and may the best siblings win.
The Wilsons
Luke Wilson: This Wilson brother has had a vibrant career since the mid-'90s, when he hooked up with Wes Anderson for "Bottle Rocket." He's known and loved for comedies like "Legally Blonde" and "Charlie's Angels," but occasionally takes a turn into darker filmic territory like "3:10 to Yuma."

November 23, 2013, is just a year and a half away, but it might as well be a lifetime from now considering how antsy we are to feast on "The Hunger Games" sequel "Catching Fire." Progress is no doubt beginning on the follow-up (director Francis Lawrence was confirmed last week by Lionsgate), but there's still much to be done before the film is big-screen ready for next, next Thanksgiving. In the meantime, we'll pass the torturous days and months by gripping our Peeta pillow extra tight and gorging on the stars' slew of interim offerings—Jennifer Lawrence and her Panem peeps are in-demand actors, after all! Here's your guide to the actors' upcoming projects:

Isla Fisher Is The New Houdini In Now You See Me
7 May 2012 9:33 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Although we’ve still got a bit of wait until the release date (try 8 months), here we have the first still from upcoming star-studded thriller Now You See Me.
Directed by Louis Leterrier (Clash Of The Titans, The Incredible Hulk), the film focuses on a band of illusionists who become the target of the FBI after it’s discovered that they sneakily rob banks while performing their acts. Featuring Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher (who can be seen in the picture below performing a trick underwater), Jesse Eisenberg, Dave Franco and Michael Caine (see, told you it was star-studded!), the plot seems like a mix of The Prestige (2006) and The Dark Knight (2008) – both genius and highly successful films directed by Christopher Nolan. If Leterrier wants to play alongside the big boys, he’ll have to make sure this is a masterpiece.

First Look At Isla Fisher In Louis Leterrier's Magician-Heist Tale 'Now You See Me'
7 May 2012 8:20 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Louis Leterrier, who broke out with Jason Statham on the first two "The Transporter" films, and went on to direct large scale blockbusters like "The Incredible Hulk" and "Clash Of The Titans," has shifted gears slightly for his next film, the magician-heist tale "Now You See Me."
Featuring in intriguing ensemble that includes Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, Isla Fisher Melanie Laurent, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Michael Caine and Common, the story follows the Robin Hood-esque tale of a team of the world’s greatest illusionists, who pull off a series of daring bank heists during their performances and shower the profits onto their audiences.
Now, courtesy of USA Today, we have the first official look at Fisher's character, the group's escape artist, evidently in the midst of a daring display. "So many things can go wrong on something like this," the actress joked. "And I was doing the scene in high heels. »

First Look: Isla Fisher in Now You See Me
5 May 2012 10:03 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Here’s your first look at Isla Fisher in Louis Letterier’s “Now You See Me”, which also co-stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, and Dave Franco as “an all-illusionist supergroup using their powers to steal from the rich and give to the poor”. Modern day Robin Hoods, if you will — with, you know, Magic! Well, fake magic, anyway. In the film, Eisenberg plays the leader, a sleight-of-hand specialist, Harrelson is a hypnotist/mentalist, Franco is a pickpocket/generalist and Fisher (pictured) is an escapologist. I guess that means she, you know, escapes from places. Like, say, a cube full of water. Mark Ruffalo, fresh from hulking out in “The Avengers”, will play the feeb after our do-gooders. This is just a guess, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that by movie’s end, Ruffalo will have realized our criminals are good guys and let them go. »

First Image of Isla Fisher as Escape Artist in Heist-Thriller Now You See Me
5 May 2012 5:47 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Due out in January next year, Now You See Me is by far one of the films I’m most looking forward to seeing in 2013. We got a brilliant first promo poster for the film towards the end of last year, and now have a great first image of Isla Fisher as an underwater escape artist.
The cast is nothing short of fantastic, headed up by the likes of Jesse Eisenberg, Fisher, Dave Franco, Mélanie Laurent, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo, and Michael Caine – pretty much as good as it gets.
“The Four Horsemen, a magic super-group led by the charismatic Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), perform a pair of high-tech magic shows, first astonishing audiences by robbing a bank on another continent, and then exposing a white-collar criminal and funnelling his millions into the audience members’ bank accounts.

'Avengers,' Alison Brie and Dave Franco Rule April

View Gallery »
When April began, I knew that there was no chance it could top March's "The Hunger Games" rush. It's usually a quiet month anyway, and the biggest event here in New York that would be worth making a big fuss over was the Tribeca Film Festival.
But, with "The Avengers" closing the festival, I was thrilled. Perhaps my prediction would be off.
Alas, my search for superheroes wasn't as fruitful as I'd like. Try as I might, Thor, Captain America, The Hulk, Loki and more just weren't sharing their super-stardom with me.
Thankfully, the beginning of the month was a bit more productive when I met "21 Jump Street" star Dave Franco and "The Five-Year Engagement" actress Alison Brie at a concert. I even got the chance to talk to Alison about how great "Five-Year" was only to find out she hadn't even seen it yet!

The James Clayton Column: playing cards movie pitches
19 April 2012 1:54 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
With Battleship taking its cue from a board game, James dreams up a few movie pitches inspired by a humble deck of playing cards…
What’s more surprising than the fact that a board game - namely Battleship - got made into a feature-length blockbuster movie is the fact that people are surprised that a board game got made into a movie. Is it really so jawdroppingly hard to believe? We’re talking about the movie industry here, where the weird go pro and where ‘sensible’ gets nuked in the name of showbiz.
In 1985, Tim Curry fronted a Cluedo film (Clue), so Battleship’s board-game-to-big-screen trajectory isn’t anything new. It isn’t really astounding that Hasbro - the Transformers toymakers masterminding multimedia success - got the naval strategy guessing game and pushed it through the dream factory. From humble roots as a pencil-and-paper pastime to star-studded, special effects-heavy sci-fi-action popcorn flick, »
Kenny G, film composer? How Matt Damon led two filmmakers to a surprising doc about the smooth jazz superstar -- Video
17 April 2012 5:10 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
He’s one of the top-25-selling musicians of all time in the U.S. His name arguably defines an entire genre of music for many listeners. He reportedly holds the record for the longest sustained note ever played on a saxophone. But it turns out that what Kenny G really wants to do is break into movies.
That’s in part the premise of Kenny: A Documentary in G, an in-the-works film by directors Rod Blackhurst and Brian McGinn about the smooth jazz icon, chronicling his attempt to launch a second career as a feature film composer. Fittingly, it »

We have some behind-the-scenes footage from the set of Now You See Me. Louis Letterier directed the magic thriller, which stars Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco in the leads.
Eisenberg, Harrelson, Fisher and Franco play "The Four Horsemen, a quartet of the world's greatest illusionists who pull off a series of daring heists against corrupt business leaders during their performances, showering the stolen profits on their audiences while staying one step ahead of FBI Agent Mark Ruffalo and Interpol agent Melanie Laurent.
Michael Caine also stars as a wealthy benefactor, and Morgan Freeman plays a former illusionist and now world-famous magic debunker determined to take down the Horsemen. Common and Michael Kelly round out the cast.

Now You See Me: Behind The Scenes
16 April 2012 6:39 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
The cast of Now You See Me talks to Et
In a very canny move on the part of Now You See Me‘s marketing team, a clip of some of the cast talking to Entertainment Tonight, that storied news-magazine, has gone pretty well viral. Smart thinking, because I think otherwise this flick would have whizzed right past me, and likely would have a lot of other folks who don’t daily scan the top entertainment sites as I do.
Now You See Me, to be released next year, is the story of a group of magicians who are also con-artists. Those are some pretty easy dots to connect, though I’m having a difficult time thinking of any other similar flicks, and I’m a man who loves his scam movies.
I’ll tell you what, though, while this clip has me interested in the film, I think it »
