I'm beginning to think the gang over at Summit Entertainment has a thing for star-crossed lovers. As you know, they're the studio that's bringing you so much "Twilight," as well as Robert Pattinson's "Remember Me." Now they've moved on to that other famous young couple, Romeo and Juliet.

I would think so, but then this isn't a situation I would ever find myself in. Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson will however, according to The Hollywood Reporter: Nicholson is "in talks" to take the role in an untitled romantic comedy from James L. Brooks.
Catherine Hardwicke and her "Lords of Dogtown" star Emile Hirsch are reuniting for a trip to the rotten state of Denmark. According to
