Four Hot Folks Making Funny

.

Rose Byrne, who I have loved since around the time of 28 Weeks Later (it was hard to love her before that when she was getting Brad Pitt's junk rubbed all on her - too much jealousy involved), and Anna Faris, who I have loved forever and ever, are making a movie together! Via Slash:

"All too often, “romantic comedies” wind up being neither romantic nor comedic. But if the recent casting is any indication, I Give It a Year seems to have the latter part down, at least. Rose Byrne and Anna Faris have joined Rafe Spall and Simon Baker in the film, written and directed by Borat scribe Dan Mazer. Byrne and Spall are set to play newlyweds trying to navigate their rocky first year of marriage, while Faris and Baker have been cast as “strong supporting characters.”

Alright so they don't seem to be co-leads, but in my imagination they will remain until the movie comes out and I ignore all the Rafe Spall and Simon Baker parts. Okay, fine. Let's step back. Did I say Rafe Spall and Simon Baker parts?

Woah ho ho it might be a little bit early for partial peen? Eh whatever. I couldn't let those top pics of Anna and Rose make this place seem too straight or anything, now could I? See a lot more of naked Rafe Spall at this link. I actually edited that picture here a smidge to make it a little less cocky. Wouldn't want to make this place not safe for work or anything now would we? (Wha?) You can see more over there. I only know Rafe via his little parts in Edgar Wright movies - apparently he plays ol' Bill Shakespeare in Anonymous but true story I could only make it half an hour into Anonymous before I shut the disc off out of immense brain-busting boredom. Yadda yadda, Anna and Rose equal awesome, Rafe Spall's penis, the end.

Take The Good Take The Bad Then You Have

In the plus column, and this is a huge plus, massive, we've got news that Edgar Wright is getting ready to direct again! It's been far far too long since Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, and while we're sitting on our thumbs waiting for something to happen with his third flick with Simon Pegg it's good to see him doing something. And a good something at that! Deadline says he's going to direct the big-screen reimagining of the 70s television series The Night Stalker. If you're unfamiliar, fix that - paranormal investigator Carl Kolchak, as immortalized by Darren McGavin, is one of the most iconic of horror TV characters.

But that's where the minus comes in - Johnny Depp is set to play the new Kolchak. Once upon a time we loved Depp, but he's become nothing but insufferable mugging this past decade, and if he outfits Carl in some silly fright-wig with a bunch of schticky mannerisms I will cry. Hopefully Edgar can rein him in where Tim Burton's failed time and time again. Deadline also mentions that Disney will no doubt want at least a PG-13 for these, but since the original series is TV friendly and still very scary this doesn't upset me that much. We don't really need this to be hard R to work.

Good Morning, World

Happy 42nd birthday, Simon Pegg! I suppose you can take a break from writing your next movie with Edgar Wright for today. As long as you've been writing - if you've just been sitting around playing X-Box then I don't care if it's your birthday, you owe us. It's been five long years since Hott Fuzz and I saw Run Fatboy Run in the theater. You owe me. See several more pics of Simon after the jump!

Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Dianne (Lucy Davis): Just look at the face: it's vacant,
with a hint of sadness. Like a drunk who's lost a bet.

I'm so ashamed I forgot to mention this but Lucy Davis was there last week when I saw Gary Oldman speak! She was only a few seats away from me, and it was so hard not to approach her and do my best zombie impersonation and tell her how I learned it all from watching her. Or say something about how I hope that she and Martin Freeman are very happy together. Either way I suppose she would have called security, so it's for the best that I'm chicken. Love you, Lucy!

Edgar Wright tweeted this picture with Simon Pegg earlier today. Want! Need! Must have! Read more about what The World's End is if you dunno here. It'd be the third in their quasi-trilogy alongside Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, in short. Hence the whole "Want! Need! Must have!" thing.
