The original show was, itself was inspired by Federico Fellini's autobiographical film " (1963) ," The plot concerns, film director Guido Contini (Javier Bardem), as he tries juggling the demands of all of the women in his life.

Penélope Cruz Marion Cotillard and a favorite of my dad''s Sophia Loren co-star. The film will mark Kidman's post-pregnant return with her baby due this Summer.

Filming was scheduled to begin last month but was postponed due to script hassles. The film is now tentatively headed for a September production start.



-Dimension Films has acquired the rights to remake the 1986 film "Short Circuit" says Variety.

The original flick introduced Johnny-Five. a robot built by the military to be a highly sophisticated weapon to the world Soon it developed a conscience and a personality after being hit by lightning, and then needed the help of humans after it was targeted for destruction by its makers.

Original writers Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson are set to return to pen the remake.

I never really got into the whole Johnny 5 thing back in '86--But I'm wondering if Ally Sheedy and/or Steve Guttenberg will be back in some way?
