Two of my favorite actresses will finally share the screen in a medieval comedy called Your Highness. Deschanel just signed onto the project alongside Portman and James Franco. For me this pairing is as grand as Pacino and DeNiro, Denzel and Russell Crowe or any of those heavy-hitting combos that people were eager to see. This is so much better! It's Garden State meets 500 Days Summer.
For all the details on this epic duo visit The Hollywood Reporter.

Arranged
Movies about unexpected friendships are usually entertaining and this one looks like a winner...
Arranged centers on the friendship between an Orthodox Jewish woman and a Muslim woman who meet as first-year teachers at a public school in Brooklyn.
I'm especially interested in seeing more of Zoe Lister-Jones' films and this one is next on my list.

Awkwardly Cute: Michael Cera + Felicia Day
They need to do a project together. Seriously. It could be a web series, a movie, a TV show, something! Just imagine all the awkward cuteness that would happen on screen...epic.

Brothers
A trailer of Natalie Portman's upcoming movie, finally!
A young man comforts his older brother's wife and children after he goes missing in Afghanistan.
It kind of reminds me of a darker version of Things We Lost in the Fire. There's actually a connection there, anyone know what it is??? Kudos if you guess right.

Lights chats beginnings...
Not movie related, but I'll try to sneak in as many Lights updates as I can. Why? Because her music is intergalactically cool. Duh. Check out this video on how she got started in the music biz:

Big Fan
Big Fan doesn't look like the typical sports movie and I like that...
Paul Aufiero, a hardcore New York Giants football fan, struggles to deal with the consequences when he is beaten up by his favorite player.
With its August release it's quite possible it might some decent awards buzz.

Welcome to the Party! - Emma Stone
She doesn't have a lot of starring roles to her credit but she was hilarious in The House Bunny. A while back Entertainment Weekly named her one of the 25 funniest actresses in Hollywood and I totally agree. Here's to hoping she gets a bunch of dazzling opportunities in the near future.
Next up...you can catch Stone in the horror comedy Zombieland alongside Woody Harrelson, coming to theaters this fall.
