We’ve seen these things in Crowe’s most beloved films: Say Anything, Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous. He got away from that a bit with his last feature, 2005’s Elizabethtown, but I’m happy to report he’s back in his wheelhouse with We Bought a Zoo....

Jonathan Levine In Talks To Direct ‘Dead Spy Running’ For Warner Bros. By Russ Fischer/March 13, 2012 7:30 am EST Spy films, especially ones that might turn into series, are like crack for studios.

LOL: StarWars.com Editor Marries R2-D2 By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 18, 2010 2:00 pm EST This is certainly not the first Star Wars wedding, but it’s definitely one worth mentioning. StarWars.com Editor/Writer Bonnie Burton (who is also a friend of /Film) married our favorite Star Wars droid R2-D2 at a the Commitment Chapel during Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando. The ceremony was handled by Darth Maul, but it is worth mentioning that Lord Darth Vader was the best man, R2-KT was the flower girl, Adrianne Curry was the Maid of Honor, Lucasfilm’s Director of Fan Relations Steve Sansweet gave Bonnie away and Elvis Trooper (an Elivs version of the Stormtrooper) was also in attendance....
