Watch: Second Official Trailer for Will Gluck's 'Friends with Benefits'
Screen Gems has debuted a full theatrical trailer for Friends with Benefits, not to be confused with Ivan Reitman's No Strings Attached. This other casual-sex-turns-into-romance movie stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis as friends whose relationship gets complicated when they get romantic. Didn't we already see this? Yes we did. Our first look at this film came in the form of a raunchy red band trailer in November, but this latest trailer is a full, green band, theatrical trailer. I think this actually looks a lot better, thanks to the chemistry between J.T. and Kunis. And damn, is Kunis going to pack in theaters, that's for sure. Enjoy!

Megan Fox Joins Paul Rudd & Leslie Mann for Judd Apatow's Next
Back in January we heard that Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd would reprise their married characters from Knocked Up for a spin-off film from director Judd Apatow. Though the film still doesn't have a title, the project is slated to be released on June 1st, 2012, and has a new cast member coming on board the comedy. THR reports Megan Fox (Transformers, Jennifer's Body) is negotiating to join the film, but her role is being kept under wraps. As for the plot, well that's not known at this time either, but Apatow has mentioned that the film will follow Rudd and Mann's characters' marriage five years after the events in Knocked Up.

'Bridesmaids' Director Paul Feig Developing Comedy for Jon Hamm
Yes, he plays suave, debonair and troubled ad executive Don Draper on "Mad Men," and his appearances in films such as The Town and The Day the Earth Stood Still have all been quite dramatic, but you may not know that actor Jon Hamm really has quite a penchant and gift for comedy. His comedic work on the big screen won't be seen until Bridesmaids (watch the trailer here) hits theaters on May 13th, but the film's director Paul Feig (who also worked on "Freaks and Geeks with Judd Apatow) is already working on a new comedy being crafted specifically for Hamm. He says, "I think he’s so funny. He’s like Cary Grant to me."

The Casting Tidbits: John Hawkes, Christina Hendricks & Will Forte
Well, I wouldn't argue that it wasn't a no-holds-barred, adrenaline-fueled thrill ride. But there is no way you can perpetrate that amount of carnage and Casting Tidbits and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork. First up, Variety reports John Hawkes (Winter's Bone) will star in the indie drama Surrogate. Based on the life of poet and journalist Mark O'Brien, the story follows the man as he decides to explore his sexuality after spending most of his life with an iron lung after struggling with polio. He hires a sex surrogate and soon develops a relationship that changes both of their lives. Yep, sounds like your standard indie drama to me.

Watch: Werner Herzog's 'Cave of Forgotten Dreams' New Full Trailer
"Magical. It's almost like watching the reinvention of the cinematic medium." Yep, that's a quote from this trailer. IFC Films has debuted the official trailer on Apple for Werner Herzog's new documentary Cave of Forgotten Dreams that he shot in 3D inside the Chauvet Cave in France, home to the most ancient visual art known to have been created by man. Forgotten Dreams is an "unforgettable cinematic experience" that provides a unique glimpse of pristine artwork dating back to human hands over 30,000 years ago. This just looks like one of those docs to just sit back and go "ahhhh" in amazement while watching, especially in 3D.

'Jackass' Director Jeff Tremaine Ready to Plot 'Revenge of the Jocks'
Through comedies like Revenge of the Nerds, the pocket-protected crew has come out on top many times. But now a new project from Jackass franchise director Jeff Tremaine is going to give the big men on campus their time in the spotlight. THR reports the director will be at the helm of Revenge of the Jocks, a comedy from I Heart Huckabees screenwriter Jeff Baena that follows three men, once popular high school jocks, with their glory days behind them. The trio find themselves forced to adapt to a world run by the geek and nerd crowd, some of whom are only too eager to unleash their tormenting on the new underdog class.

'How to Be Single' is Drew Barrymore's Sophomore Directing Effort
After faring pretty well in the director's chair with the roller derby centric Whip It, actress turned filmmaker Drew Barrymore is set for her second directing gig. THR reports she will be at the helm of How to Be Single, a new romantic comedy that she will also produce via her Flower Film banner. Based on Liz Tuccillo's novel of the same name, the story follows the loves, lives and break-ups of a group of New Yorkers over the course of ten years. This sounds pretty similar to Valentine's Day or moreso He's Just Not That Into You, a film Barrymore also produced that just happened to include her in a quite an ensemble cast.

Richard Linklater Taking a Swim with 'The Incredible Mr. Limpet'?
Though he may be more well known for his work on films like Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise and Waking Life, director Richard Linklater has also ventured into family film territory with School of Rock and most recently a remake of Bad News Bears back in 2005. Now he's heading back to a big studio project in the family friendly arena as 24 Frames reports the director is the top choice to helm the remake of the 1964 Don Knotts comedy The Incredible Mr. Limpet. However, it remains to be seen if breakout comedian Zach Galifianakis is still attached since we heard about his involvement with the project back in June of 2010.

David Slade to Direct Fox's Reboot of Marvel's 'Daredevil' Franchise
Is 20th Century Fox really starting to shape up again? Variety is reporting that Fox has hired David Slade, of Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night and yes, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, to direct the new Daredevil reboot that they're trying to get in before all the rights revert back to Marvel/Disney. It was announced/confirmed last year that a Daredevil reboot was on the way, just like Fantastic Four too, with a script bing penned by David Scarpa (The Last Castle, The Day the Earth Stood Still). Sources close to the project told Variety that the untitled film will not contain material from the Ben Affleck's 2003 movie based on the blind superhero.

Alec Baldwin Departs the Struggling Production of 'Men in Black 3'
Last month we learned that the start of production last year on Men in Black 3, without a completed script, had caused another month of delay from when it should have resumed in February. The delay didn't seem to have any adverse affects on the project's timetable, but it definitely has created some concerns. Now the production's instability is even more apparent as Vulture spoke to Alec Baldwin (who was said to be involved with the film last October) and the actor revealed, "I'm not doing that. I'm out of it; the schedule didn't work out." Whether it's his "30 Rock" schedule or Rock of Ages holding him back is still unclear.

Universal has debuted one more trailer via MSN for Paul Feig's new comedy Bridesmaids, starring a wild line-up of women: Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Ellie Kemper, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi Mclendon-Covey and Kali Hawk. The guys include Matt Lucas, Chris O'Dowd and even Jon Hamm. The film recently premiered as a "work-in-progress" cut at the SXSW Film Festival a few days ago, where despite not being finished, Peter Sciretta from /Film raved: "Confident, a mix of laugh-out-loud funny, smart, raunchy, and heartbreaking. Bridesmaides [sic] is a homerun." Now that's some praise! Check out the trailer below.
