Anne HathawayOscar-nominated actress Anne Hathaway ('Rachel Getting Married') will soon find her big-screen prince charming. (Which, considering that her real life ex-fiancee ended up in the clink on racketeering charges a few years back, and her new guy reportedly stole something, is a good thing.)

The actress, who first shot to fame as Mia in 'The Princess Diaries' and has since garnered praise for her turns in films like 'The Devil Wears Prada' and 'Brokeback Mountain,' is set to star in the big screen adaptation of David Nicholls' bestselling novel 'One Day,' according to the AP.

Randall EinhornYou can probably count on two hands the number of hot-shot television stars who've successfully navigated a leap to the big screen, and when it comes to TV directors, the number is just as small. The stats, however, aren't deterring veteran television director Randall Einhorn in the slightest.

According to an exclusive report from the Los Angeles Times, Einhorn, who's helmed such disparate fare as 'Fear Factor,' 'Modern Family' and 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' has been tapped to bring 'Late Bloomer,' a story about a man who hits puberty in his late '20s, to the big screen.

The highly anticipated remake of 'The Crow' will soon soar into production.

"Things are moving ahead very aggressively, with the aim of doing the film this year," producer, Edward Pressman, told MTV News.

This should come as great news to fans of the cult fave who've been getting antsy since it was first announced last November that 'Blade' director, Stephen Norrington, was set to helm his script of the reboot and then, things seemed to stall.

'Friends With Benefits' Title Cleared

As much fun as a catfight between Jessica Biel and Mila Kunis would be, the only time Biel's boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, is making time with Kunis is on set.

Bummer though that may be, the big news is that the title for the pair's big screen romp, 'Friends With Benefits,' has been given the all-clear by Paramount. Seems that both Screen Gems (the studio behind the Timberlake/Kunis film) and Paramount were working on films called 'Friends with Benefits' and that Paramount, whose 'Friends' movie is being directed by Ivan Reitman and stars Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Kline, had lodged a complaint about it. (For the record, the film, which finds Kutcher hopelessly devoted to Portman, was originally called 'F*** Buddies' but then changed to be more multiplex-friendly.)

Eddie MurphyIt looks like 'Nutty Professor 3' may be on its way, according to franchise star Eddie Murphy.

"There might be another 'Nutty Professor,' Murphy told 'Access Hollywood' on the red carpet at Sunday's 'Shrek Forever After' premiere in Los Angeles. "We wrote something that might be kind of funny. If you don't see it, the studio was like, 'This isn't funny.'"

The first two installments of the 'Nutty Professor' franchise -- based on the Jerry Lewis original from 1963 -- grossed more than $240 million at the domestic box office.

As the countdown to its 'Prince of Persia' (opening May 28) comes into the final stretch, Disney, according to the Hollywood Reporter, has announced release dates for its latest 'Winnie the Pooh' movie (Jul. 15, 2011) and the new kid on the block, 'Reboot Ralph' (Mar. 22, 2013).

44 years after it first licensed A. A. Milne's lovable bear, this new 'Pooh,'' directed by 'Meet the Robinsons'' Stephen Anderson and Don Hall, will feature five previously unadapted stories from the original books. With animation visionary John Lasseter (pictured) exec-producing, the film, which boasts the vocal talent of Jim Cummings as Pooh/Tigger and Craig Ferguson as Owl, will, like this year's vibrant 'The Princess and the Frog,' eschew computer generated animation in favor of traditional hand drawn cells. Burny Mattinson, a vet of the Mouse House, who worked on several of the earlier 'Pooh' films, is on board as lead storyboard artist.
