Anne HathawayAnne Hathaway is trying out a new job in the film industry: producing.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hathaway is set to both star in and produce the thriller "Puzzler" at Paramount. It is being described as similar to "Three Days of the Condor," the Robert Redford film that followed a CIA researcher who finds all his friends dead and needs to stay several steps ahead of his attackers. The movie will be written by "Tresspass" scribe Karl Gajdusek. No word yet on when it will go in front of the camera.

Josh PeckHow awesome is it that we're getting a remake of "Red Dawn"? Seriously.

The original served up an alternate-present 1980s in which Cold War-era Soviet forces invade America.

Included in this group are stars Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen and C. Thomas Howell. Damn. Straight.

Now The Hollywood Reporter reveals that "The Wackness" star Josh Peck and "Friday Night Lights" star Adrianne Palicki have also joined the cast. Read More...

Peck will bring new life to energetic opossum Eddie, as he rejoins Queen Latifah, Seann William Scott and Ray Romano for the third installment of the ridiculously popular “Ice Age” series. Read More...

Josh PeckYou might know him best from “Drake & Josh,” but 22-year-old Josh Peck has just as many fans from his family-friendly work in “Ice Age: The Meltdown.” These days, he’s stepping back into the voiceover booth once again, working on July’s Ashley Tisdale action comedy, “They Came from Upstairs.”

“I’m doing the voice of one of the aliens,” revealed the affable Peck. “I think people are really going to dig it, the animation is sick.” Read More...
