Are you an agoraphobic heiress to a multi-million dollar fortune? Was your elderly neighbor just brutally murdered and replaced by a seemingly well-to-do couple? Does the husband act like an abusive psychopath?

If that's the case, my questions were oddly specific and you are the main character of the new thriller, "Columbus Circle." Also, by no means should you open the door.

We have an exclusive trailer from the upcoming movie starring Selma Blair, Amy Smart, Jason Lee and Giovanni Ribisi.

It's the remake that's been years -- and countless rumored directors and actors -- in the making... and now the planned "Fletch" reboot is rearing its head again.

Word broke last month that Warner Bros. was working on a new version of "Fletch," which got us thinking about the old attempted resurrection of the 1985 comedy classic at the hands of Kevin Smith and Jason Lee.

We caught up with Lee during the 83rd Annual Academy Awards and asked if he'd ever consider stepping into Chevy Chase's iconic shoes now that the wheels of the "Fletch" reboot are in motion once again -- and according to Lee himself, he's most certainly interested.

At times like this, there's really only one response I can offer: sweet. "A Couple of Dicks" director Kevin Smith has confirmed that "My Name is Earl" star Jason Lee will join the already loaded ensemble cast. The report comes via a /Film reader, who tipped the site that Smith shared the news in an appearance on Kevin Pollak's Chat Show yesterday.

Lee and Smith have quite the history together. The actor has appeared in almost every one of Smith's films since "Mallrats." He was Brodie in that one -- a role he reprised in "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back" -- and many would argue that his hilariously funny performance there informed all of the work that he's done since.

I'm a big fan of "Chuck." I love me some fine film of course, but I've been playing video games and computer games for as long as I can remember. "Chuck" the TV series speaks to gamers like few other shows on TV do, and that's largely because star Zachary Levi is himself quite the gamer. How fitting then that Levi will join the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" sequel cast as Dave Seville's (Jason Lee) "burnout cousin... who really just wants to play video games all day."

The news comes from Levi's exclusive interview with SCI FI Wire. "I play kind of like the new Dave," Levi said. "Dave is still in it -- Jason Lee is still in it -- but something happens that prevents him from being able to take care of the Chipmunks the way he normally does, so I have to step in...."

When we first broke the news back in January 2008 that the follow-up to the smash film “Alvin and The Chipmunks” would feature the Chipettes, hundreds of fans weighed in with their eagerness to see Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor. In the months since, rumors have run amok with various female names who could be providing their high-pitched voices, including Miley Cyrus, Joanna “JoJo” Levesque and Drew Barrymore.

Yesterday, we caught up with Alvin himself: Mr. Justin Long. And he gave us some big news on two of the famous females who’ll be loaning their vocal talents to the December follow-up. Read more...
