Hollywood Roundup

Charlize Theron - a recent Oscar winner - will be starring in the season opener of Arrested Development. Guess she must really like the show because she'll be playing Jason Bateman's love interest and will appear in a few episodes. There was a time when I envisioned myself as his girlfriend, sigh; Silver Spoons will always have a special place in my heart.

Paul Haggis, who can do no wrong by Hollywood (the scribe behind Million Dollar Baby, Oscar winner and Crash, expected Oscar nominee/potential winner, has been selected to rewrite a new version of Casino Royale, an old Bond favorite.
No idea who will play Bond as hunky Pierce Brosnan recently confirmed that he'll no longer be playing the original international man of mystery.

Judd Apatow, the director behind the hit 40 Year-Old Virgin, will be helming a new romantic comedy starring some of his fave actors including Paul Rudd (v. cute). He's written the screenplay and will direct so expect a bigger paycheck than last given Virgin's success.
