Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are already hard at work reprising their roles as the titular eccentric sleuth and his faithful sidekick Dr. Watson in "Sherlock Holmes 2," the sequel to director Guy Ritchie's 2009 box-office hit. But while the boys are back in town -- or rather the U.K. -- to shoot the movie, Rachel McAdams, who played the original's lone substantial female character, has yet to step foot on the sequel's set. And, as McAdams tells it, she might never.

"It's kind of all still in the process," she told MTV News at the junket for her new comedy "Morning Glory," which opens November 10. "They're still doing script work, and we'll see." Read more...

With Labor Day safely behind us, weekly movie releases can now officially be considered as part of the fall slate. Yes, yes... fall technically starts on September 22. Screw that noise though. Summer blockbusters are done. So begins the race for the Golden Globes, the Academy Awards and all of the other many prestigious awards that will be handed out in the coming months.

What are you most looking forward to seeing? "TRON: Legacy"? "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"? "The Social Network"? Please let us know. I'm going to use this opportunity to run through 10 upcoming fall releases that don't necessarily number among the major tentpoles. Even if you've heard of them, these (mostly) smaller-scale productions are worthy of your attention in the coming months. Read more...

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wilson is set to star in "Morning Glory," a comedy from director Roger Michell for Paramount Studios. The actor joins an all-star cast that includes Harrison Ford, Rachel McAdams, Diane Keaton and Jeff Goldblum. Read more...

Earlier this month, MTV caught up with Harrison Ford to discuss a few of his upcoming projects -- and he confirmed that he was attached to "Morning Glory," a comedy directed by Roger Mitchell, written by Aline Brosh McKenna ("The Devil Wears Prada") and produced by J.J. Abrams. Ford's participation has been reaffirmed by Variety, and now he has Rachel McAdams for a leading lady.

McAdams will play an aspiring news producer who tries to save a failing morning show by gaining control of its feuding news anchors. Ford will play one of those talking heads, an egotistical and iconic newsanchor. There's shades of Ron Burgundy here, as his co-anchor and rival will be female. Read more...

It's been a rough few years for longtime admirers of Harrison Ford. There was "Hollywood Homicide" and "K19: The Widowmaker" (which had the distinction of actually being worse than it's horrible title made it sound) and we're going to take the high road and not even get into "Firewall." But thankfully maybe the massive box office success of the four "Indiana Jones" this past summer will propel Mr. Ford to bigger and better things once again? Maybe?

Ford told us about the progress of a fifth Indy film the other day but before that one gets off the ground he told us he's set his sights on one of two projects: "I have a comedy that’s been developed by J.J. Abrams and a drama that I developed that talks about the pharmaceutical industry. We haven’t sorted out which is first yet." Read more...
