I know the headline doesn't make a ton of sense, but gimme a break. It's punny. Like the Focker family name. Mission accomplished.
We've served up quite a bit of "Little Fockers" coverage so far. All the way back to the earliest rumblings that "The State" veteran David Wain might direct. Those plans ended up changing, with Paul Weitz (brother of "New Moon" director Chris Weitz) now at the helm. Laura Dern and Jessica Alba have also both since joined the cast.
"Little Fockers" is happening though, and the shoot is underway now. Not only does this mean that the movie is on track for its previously announced June 30, 2010 release date, it also means we can look forward to many more set pics. You'll find the first of them below the jump, in which stars Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro laugh at whatever shenanigans are unfolding in the scene being shot. Check it out after the jump.

In the beginning, there was "Meet the Parents." Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro clashed comedic wits on the big screen, and it was good. In the second installment, "Meet the Fockers," the Stiller/De Niro powerhouse shared their screen time with the elder Fockers, the parents of Stiller's character Gaylord, played by Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand. Gaylord's met his in-laws and introduced said in-laws to the elder Fockers. What does that leave?
"Little Fockers"!! We've known for awhile that the Focker-spawn will be the next members of Stiller's growing fictional family to hit the big screen. Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant" director Paul Weitz will helm it and the key cast members will return. But the latest news? Jessica Alba. Read more...
A few days ago, Universal Pictures announced a release date of July 30, 2010 for “Little Fockers,” the third movie in the Ben Stiller-Robert De Niro “Meet the Parents” comedy soon-to-be-trilogy. The only problem is, somebody forgot to tell the director.
“Oh really?” Paul Weitz marveled when we interviewed him after that news swept across the web. “I don’t know anything about that.”
All the “About a Boy” filmmaker knows is that he’s currently hard at work finishing “Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant” for its October 23rd release. He’s set to begin filming the Ben Stiller flick “in a couple months or something." But the announced July 2010 release? Read more...
This video just goes to show you: when Danny Trejo asks for action, Danny Trejo gets action. Does that look like a man you want to eff with? I didn't think so. And now that Trejo will be joined in "Machete" by the oddball supporting cast of Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson, Cheech Marin, Jeff Fahey ("Lawnmower Man"!!!!) and Jessica Alba, everyone on the planet has to see it. It's a requirement. Seriously. I think the world might explode if we don't.

Apologies for today's late-breaking Dailies; a battery of meetings threw off my publishing schedule. Then there was yesterday's absence, when The Dailies fell victim of a top secret screening. But I'm back now, baby. And there's lots of news in the movies world, so let's get right down to it.
-- This is rumor territory, so take it for what it's worth. Robert Rodriguez's "Grindhouse" spin-off, "Machete," got a pretty exciting casting update. Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Jonah Hill and Robert freaking De Niro may or may not be joining the cast. The shoot is supposed to get underway in a couple weeks, so we'll all know soon enough. (Bloody Disgusting) Read more...

Oh that poor Focker! Ben Stiller’s luckless nurse with a heart of gold and an inability to avoid awkward physical comedy couldn’t catch a break, neither when he met his girlfriends’ parents for the first time nor, in the second movie, when he introduced his soon-to-be in-laws to his own folks. For a couple years, a third film in the “Meet the Parents” franchise has been in the works, one called “Little Fockers,” which presumably would follow the awkward physical comedy Stiller gets into now that he has kids.
After much delay and at least one abandoned script, “Little Fockers” looks to be moving forward. Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and Owen Wilson are all in negotiations to take part again. John Hamburg, who’s written the Stiller comedy “Along Came Polly” and the forthcoming Paul Rudd/Jason Segel bromance “I Love You, Man,” is penning the script. Jay Roach, however, who helmed the first two "Meet" films, is out as director. So now rumors are flying about who will take over directing duties. Read more...
FROM MTV.COM: Meet Tom "Turk" Cowan (Robert De Niro). Turk loves his job. He loves the way it allows him to combine his fiercest passion with his favorite activity. "I hate scumbags," he says. "And I like killing people."
Turk is a cop, and a hothead, and over the course of his 30 years as a detective with the NYPD, he and his genial, wisecracking partner, David "Rooster" Fisk (Al Pacino), have put away a lot of scumbags. Lately, though, it appears that Turk has been freelancing, too. We know this from the very beginning of "Righteous Kill," because the movie opens with a videotaped interrogation (which also serves as narration for the rest of the picture) in which Turk, looking straight into the camera, confesses to doing a number of very bad things.

T-minus 24 hours until Robert DeNiro reunites on the big screen with Al Pacino in "Righteous Kill" (good luck with those comparisons to "Heat," gentlemen). Sure everyone's talking about the two headliners in this one but let's not forget about Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson who also appears in the flick. We chatted with 50 way back in January in Sundance about the film and he told us all about his extracurricular fun with DeNiro on a gun range. Of course we had to ask who the better shot was. And of course 50 answered as you might expect him to.
