• A biopic about the life of country music legend Hank Williams is being developed. Now how about a Hank Williams Jr. biopic that investigates which evening his "rowdy friends" will be coming over?

• The creators of Harold and Kumar have signed on to helm the comedy One Night Stan. Drop the last letter -- instant title pun!
• A full trailer for Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has surfaced.
