Dustin Hoffman's a FOCKER again

From ComingSoon.net:

"Despite initially being written out of Little Fockers, Dustin Hoffman will indeed be reprising his role in the sequel. His scenes will come from a series of pickup shots Universal Pictures is adding to the film, including some opposite onscreen wife Barbra Streisand.


Opening in theaters on December 22, the Paul Weitz-directed film also stars Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner, Jessica Alba, Laura Dern, Harvey Keitel and Teri Polo."

Maybe he'll make the movie better. I've heard this movie is disasterous compared to the original two films.

Have Yourself a Merry LITTLE FOCKERS

From ComingSoon.net:

"It's the release date shuffle today as a couple anticipated movies grab new dates as well as the announcement of a couple new Universal summer releases. Universal has announced an update to their 2010 line-up including the move of their comedy threequel Little Fockers, being pushed back from its original July 30 release to come out instead on December 22, in order to take full advantage of the holidays much like the previous installment, Meet the Fockers. Already scheduled for a Dec. 22 release were The Green Hornet [and] Gulliver's Travels.... Meanwhile, Edgar Wright's anticipated follow-up to Hot Fuzz, the movie version of Brian Lee O'Malley's graphic novel Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, starring Michael Cera, has finally settled on its summer release date of August 13. It faces the Lionsgate action-thriller The Expendables.

We're still waiting for confirmation that Warner Bros' remake of Clash of the Titans has indeed been pushed back to Easter weekend to give some extra time for its 3D conversion."

IT'S A FRAT PACK SHOW DOWN!!! Owen Wilson/Ben Stiller tag-teaming with Jack Black against 27-year-old newcomer Seth Rogen!!! FRIDAY!!! FRIDAY!!! FRIDAY!!!

(technically, Seth Rogen is not actually sure he is in the Frat Pack. I would go so far to say as yes, he is. Ben Stiller actually loathes the term 'Frat Pack'.)

Jessica Alba loves the FOCKERS

From ComingSoon.net:

"The Hollywood Reporter's 'Risky Biz Blog' got the scoop that actress Jessica Alba is in negotiations to join Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and company in Paul Weitz's Little Fockers, the third chapter in the comedy series that kicked off in 2000 with Meet the Parents. She will play an attractive pharmaceutical rep whose looks wreak havoc on male characters in the story.

The production is set to begin in a few months for a release on July 30, 2010."

Hahaha! I could see this happening. Awesome!

BATTLE and FOCKERS get dates!

From ComingSoon.net:

"Columbia Pictures has set a February 18, 2011 release date for director Jonathan Liebesman's sci-fi action-adventure Battle: Los Angeles.

The film revolves around a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon's battle against an alien invasion on the streets of Los Angeles. Michelle Rodriguez will play Crpl. Adriana Santos, a member of a radio battalion. Michael Pena plays the father of a boy the Marines find along the way, and Bridget Moynahan plays a veterinarian.

Chris Bertolini and Scott Silver wrote the script."

and who can forget the long-awaited third installment of the Meet the Parents series?

"Universal Pictures.... has set a July 30, 2010 release date for the third installment of the Meet the Parents franchise, Little Fockers. Directed by Paul Weitz, the comedy stars Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner.

Other films scheduled for that date are Beastly, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore and Morning Glory. We'll have to see if they want to compete with the Fockers."
