Update: Jennifer Garner (The Odd Life of Timothy Green) will play Alexander's momin Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Steve Carell will play the dad. No word yet on which kid gets the plum role of Alexander, a kid who wakes up with gum in his hair and the day just goes downhill from there. 

March 14, 2013 -Miguel Arteta is in talks to become the Third director for Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day for Disney. Arteta's forte seems to be outrageous comedy, his previous films are Michael Cera's Youth In Revolt and Ed Helms' Cedar Rapids, both of which were Rated R. Lately, he's been directing episodes of TV shows including the pilot for "The Carrie Diaries" and an episode of "New Girl." This is a straight up children's movie, I'm not sure why this project keeps attracting directors »

Trailer Simon Brew 19 Apr 2013 - 06:09

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson reunite again after the success of Wedding Crashers for The Internship. Here's the trailer...

It's too early to call the battle of the comedies this summer. We're going to go with the radical idea of watching them first before we work out which is best.

Still, the running assumption is that The Hangover Part III will be the most commercially successful, even if few expect it to be the best. Then there's This Is The End, which has shot near the top of our to-watch list, courtesy of a brilliant, riotous trailer for the movie. Keep an eye out for Paul Feig's The Heat too, which seems to be flying under lots of peoples' radars for the minute.

But what about The Internship? Reuniting the Wedding Crashers duo of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, the maiden trailer for this one showed some promise. »

You might not see Beyonce's face in the new 20th Century Fox animated movie "Epic," but you will hear her voice. The pop star is the focus of a new featurette about the upcoming film and she talks about her character, the Queen of the Forest.

"Once I learned about my character, Queen Tara, I just had to be a part of it," she says of the movie. "What I like most about Tara is she sets a great example for the people she protects. I've always wanted to be a queen. The film is about how everything in our life connects."

She continues, "Everything in this movie is big: the characters, the action. This is one time where the film really lives up to its title."

This is far from Beyonce's first film role. She also starred in "Dreamgirls," "Austin Powers in Goldmember," "The Fighting Temptations," "The Pink Panther" and 2009's "Obsessed. »

The good news is that Shawn Levy of Night at the Museum movies is still planning to produce this film.

Update: While Disney decided to make Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day after 20th Century Fox dropped the project, director Lisa Cholodenko will no longer helm the project. The great news is that Steve Carell Is still planning to star as Alexander's dad!

Cholodenko quitting the project makes this movie down 2 directors so far. But let's be honest: her leaving may be the best thing for this movie. Cholodenko is a very talented director of very adult material - most of her movies are Rated R including the only one that included kids: The Kids Are All Right (which really isn't about the kids as much as about the parents of the kids). In the meantime, may we make a suggestion? Disney, hire Andy Fickman, who directed You Again, Race to Witch Mountain and The Game Plan for Disney (and recently Parental Guidance for 20th Century »
