For Mark Waters, it's like a daydream become reality: The "Mean Girls" director revealed to MTV News that he may once again pick up the reigns of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," three years after he lost his first chance at the project due to Hurricane Katrina.

"Mike Myers is taking it over completely, throwing out the screenplay. He's starting over with a new screenplay that he's going to write," Waters said. "I may end up circling back to it because Mike and I have developed things together. If his screenplay ends up really great I might end up jumping back into it with him." Read more...

When you think Woody Allen, actors like Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts and Mia Farrow are the names that most immediately come to mind. But these days, the king of all New York filmmakers has been busy injecting his usual recipe with some spicy Spanish flavoring.

"'Vicky Cristina Barcelona,'" star Javier Bardem told us of the film's title. "That's the name of the American characters, which are Rebecca Hall ('The Prestige') and Scarlett Johansson. [They're] the two girls that go to our salon; but I don't know if that is going to be the final title or not."

As any fan of the 71-year-old filmmaker knows, not only is Allen still doing his best to crank out a movie a year (he's only missed 1991 since the early Eighties), but he has also maintained a Spielberg-esque routine of keeping his modestly-budgeted films as secret as possible.

"[Johansson and Hall play tourists] who are coming to Barcelona, and it's about relationships," Bardem said of the film, due in theaters next year. "Penelope Cruz plays [my] ex-wife, and there is a triangle there - but it is much more than that." Read more...

Scarlett Johansson really made an impression on music video director Samuel Bayer during the making of Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around...Comes Around" mini-movie -- so much so that the two will team up again later this year.

"Scarlett is one of the sexiest actresses around," Bayer told MTV News. "And she can just become her characters. Look at what she did during the Corvette scene, which a lot of people won't catch. She was shooting that on a green screen, and right before we were rolling, she was laughing. We start, and she's crying. It was just unbelievable. It's stuff like that which makes you know someone's a star."

So it was a no-brainer for Bayer that when Johansson mentioned her next project was hunting for a director, and she'd like to work with him again, to come aboard. "It's called 'Brilliance' and it's about diamond thieves, and we start shooting this winter," Bayer said. "So many things came together in all the right ways. It really was a case of 'what goes around, comes around.' In a good way."

After the jump, watch Bayer's full nine-minute music video for "What Goes Around...Comes Around," featuring Scarlett driving really fast and making out in a pool with our boy JT. Read more...
