From ComingSoon.net:
"Walt Disney Studios chairman Rich Ross announced today that the studio has set release dates for Disney•Pixar's Monsters, Inc. sequel and the action-adventure Brave (previously titled 'The Bear and the Bow').
Brave, hitting theaters on June 15, 2012, is voiced by Reese Witherspoon, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson and Julie Walters. In the film, the impetuous, tangle-haired Merida, though a daughter of royalty, would prefer to make her mark as a great archer. A clash of wills with her mother compels Merida to make a reckless choice, which unleashes unintended peril on her father's kingdom and her mother's life. Merida struggles with the unpredictable forces of nature, magic and a dark, ancient curse to set things right.
The follow-up to Monsters, Inc., which earned $525.4 million worldwide in 2001, is scheduled for November 16, 2012."
YAY!!!

McG declares WAR
From ComingSoon.net:
"McG is in negotiations to direct romantic comedy This Means War for Twentieth Century Fox.
Bradley Cooper and Reese Witherspoon are attached to star in the story of two best friends, inseparable since childhood, who fall in love with the same woman (Witherspoon). The two men's bond disintegrates and their ensuing battle escalates to mammoth proportions, with New York City demolished in their wake.
Robert Simonds is producing."
Sorta sounds like Keeping the Faith mixed with Die Hard (but without the religious aspects and Bruce Willis).
The concept's okay, a bit weird for McG (who just got kicked out of Disney before he had a chance to do 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo) (and considering his previous directing efforts - both Charlie's Angels films, We Are Marshall and Terminator Salvation) but with the right cast, the right director and the right effects, this could be a genre-bending romantic comedy (not just a cookie-cutter one). Apparently this film was once written for Martin Lawrence.
UPDATE:
"Entertainment Weekly reports that Bradley Cooper (The Hangover, upcoming The A-Team) has dropped out of the McG-directed romantic comedy This Means War. He was set to star with Reese Witherspoon.
The magazine says that 20th Century Fox was hoping to shoot the film in July.
This Means War is the story of two best friends, inseparable since childhood, who fall in love with the same woman (Witherspoon). The two men's bond disintegrates and their ensuing battle escalates to mammoth proportions, with New York City demolished in their wake.
Cooper is expected to film The Hangover 2 this fall for a May 26, 2011 release."
UPDATE 2:
From EmpireOnline:
"They’re both in demand actors right now, so it’s only logical that the producers of 20th Century Fox’s Reese Witherspoon comedy This Means War would be targeting both Seth Rogen and Chris Pine to co-star with her.
McG, probably hoping for less of a rant-filled shoot than he experienced on Terminator Salvation, is behind the camera for the film, which sees a pair of best-friend roommates battle over a woman (Witherspoon) who rents the spare bedroom in their New York apartment. Thing is, it’s no ordinary squabble, since one of the friends is a secret agent, and the fight starts getting increasingly destructive.
Fox has been trying to wrangle this thing into shape since buying the script back in 1998, and has been through several casting choices looking for the right team. The Wrap reports that James Franco passed and while Bradley Cooper signed on, he then ditched the flick, either for scheduling reasons or that he just didn’t like it.
Role Models co-writer Tim Dowling is trying to get the screenplay sorted and Fox will have it shooting just as soon as a few good leading men can actually be convinced to stay on board."
Oh, that's a threesome (no bad pun intended) that I'd love to see in a movie together!

USED GUYS back on the market!
From ComingSoon.net:
"Fox's sci-fi comedy Used Guys, which previously had Jay Roach directing Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey, will change the story's focus into a vehicle for Stiller and Reese Witherspoon.
Little Miss Sunshine directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris are negotiating to take on helming duties. No writer has been hired.
The comedy takes place in a future run by women, who clone and trade men like used cars. The current take at Fox focuses more on the relationship between Stiller's character and Witherspoon's clone owner.
Roach will remain a producer on the project along with Stiller's Red Hour Films."
Never thought this would go back into production. I also never thought that I'd ever see Ben Stiller and Reese Witherspoon as a couple. Hmm... director of Academy Award-nominated film and Academy Award-winning actress. It could work.
BTW, Ben Stiller directed Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder in an Academy Award-nominated performance and Reese Witherspoon played June Carter in Walk the Line which she got a much-deserved Oscar for.

New MONSTERS VS. ALIENS Trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQyewrJYuzw
This is, probably, going to be the best DreamWorks Animations film since Madagascar and before that Shrek (which recently opened a Broadway musical. Go figure.).
The story, according to Wikipedia:
"When California resident Susan Murphy mysteriously grows to 49 ft 11 in, on her wedding day, she is labelled a monster and taken in by the military to a institution housing other monsters, such as Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D., an insect-headed mad scientist, the Missing Link, a thousands-of-years-old fish-man, B.O.B., an indestructible gelatinous mass and Insectosaurus, a fuzzy bug that makes even Susan look tiny by comparison. When a UFO lands and aliens demand that Earth be given to them, General W.R. Monger suggests to the President that the monsters can provide the firepower to defeat the aliens."
The all-star cast includes -
Reese Witherspoon as Susan Murphy / Ginormica
Paul Rudd as Derek
Hugh Laurie as Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.
Will Arnett as The Missing Link
Seth Rogen as B.O.B.
Kiefer Sutherland as Gen. W.R. Monger
Stephen Colbert as The President of the United States
Rainn Wilson as Gallaxhar
