- Will The Great Gatsby be shot in 3-D? Maybe, says director Baz Luhrmann! The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic, and in your fucking face in digital 3-D?

- Documentary filmmaker Yaron Zilberman has secured Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Jeremy Northam, and Christopher Walken for his fiction debut, A Late Quartet. So when you see that cast on a poster later, don't just assume it's a Charlie Kaufman film.

- Arrested Development lawyer and frequent Christopher Guest actor John Michael Higgins has signed on to join Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson in Cameron Crowe's We Bought a Zoo. He'll reportedly play "a state zoo inspector cursed with an active and loud stomach." It was only a matter of time before Camerone Crowe got to fart jokes.

- Confirming the earlier rumor, producer Neal Moritz revealed Colin Farrell will be taking over Arnold Schwarzenegger's part in the remake of Total Recall, continuing Hollywood's recent tradition of skewing casting towards not huge Austrian dudes.
