Jackie Chan injured... again!:
Jackie Chan, the action star who broke every bone in his body, got injured while shooting the action-comedy Rob-B-Hood.
A stuntman wearing the wrong shoes kicked Jackie Chan in the chest, sending the action star to the hospital for a checkup.
"These things just happen," Chan said, "I always put safety first when filming, but still, sometimes things just go wrong. It was just an ordinary accident. The stuntman working with me had on the wrong shoes and I got hurt."

Peter Jackson talks The Lovely Bones:
King Kong director Peter Jackson is taking a year off and also plans to write the script
for The Lovely Bones during his well deserved holiday. Here's what he had to say about the project:
"It's a sort of very Heavenly Creatures I guess in terms of how it fits in with films I made in the past, but it's very enjoyable to work on as a puzzle because it's a difficult and very interesting book. It's one of those books that sort of has a profound effect on you when you read it and it has a different effect on each person that reads it. It's a very sort of personal experience, and so to sit down and to analyse that is like a wonderful puzzle solving exercise as to how you adapt the story and make it in to a piece of cinema, which is really one of the great fun parts of the process for me is that very beginning where you have an absolutely blank canvas and you sit there and solve the puzzles. And we're enjoying it doing it, just at our own speed. We have no pressure or deadline we're just taking a year off, which is really a quiet year... and Lovely Bones will be written during the year. And we've been working on it for a few weeks now and it's enjoyable."

Samuel L. Jackson joins the Penguins:
Man, I love this! Samuel L. Jackson will be the narrator of Farce of the Penguins, a parody of the documentary March of the Penguins.
Bob Saget came up with the idea of doing a parody when he watched the documentary. He wrote and will direct the film and also will do some of the voices. Saget will be joined by
an all-star cast, including Jason Alexander, James Belushi, Jason Biggs, Whoopi Goldberg, Jamie Kennedy, Jon Lovitz and Saget's Full House co-stars John Stamos and Dave Coulier. Awesome!
