Steve MartinNormally known as a leading man in movies like "Cheaper by the Dozen" and "The Pink Panther," legendary comedian Steve Martin hasn't appeared in a non-starring movie role since 1986's "Little Shop of Horrors." "Saturday Night Live" mastermind Lorne Michaels told us, however, that all that is about to change.

"We have a movie that Tina [Fey], Amy [Poehler] and Dax Shepard, Greg Kinnear, Steve Martin and a bunch of others are in called 'Baby Mama,'" Michaels said of the flick, which has developed into something of an "SNL" reunion. "That movie should be coming out in the spring."

The film stars Fey as a busy single gal who hires Poehler's character to be a surrogate mother. The in-production flick features Kinnear as the local hunk who sparks up a romance with Fey, while "ER" veteran Maura Tierney has been cast as Fey's supportive sister, a mother of two. The comedy also features Sigourney Weaver and Romany Malco, but it's Martin's rare supporting performance that seems destined to be the stand-out. Read more...

Along with "Knocked Up" and "Superbad," the other member of the summer underground comedy trifecta is "Hot Rod," starring "Saturday Night Live" star Andy Samberg (the guy behind all those "SNL Digital Shorts" like "D--k in a Box"). In the film, which releases August 3, Samberg plays a self-proclaimed stuntman who's preparing for the jump of his life in order to raise money for his ailing step-father (played to perfection by "Deadwood" townsman Ian McShane). The film's quite good, so mark your calendar. In the meantime, check out one exclusive photo below, and then even more exclusive "Hot Rod" photos here.
