"In the future, there was a nuclear war. And because of all the radiation, cats developed the ability to shoot lasers out of their mouths." So begins the story of "Laser Cats," the hilarious "Saturday Night Live" digital short from Bill Hader and Andy Samburg. Its sci-fi premise seems destined for something larger, so when we sat down with Hader at the NY Comic Con, one of our first questions was about the skit's big-screen possibilities.

Normally 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...
