you don't have to up your dose of anti-psychotics that sound you hear actually is angels singing out in celebration. You see, Variety reports that Daniel Radcliffe, the wonderfulHarry Potter star for whom we have all waited eagerly to enter new genres of film, is taking on his first romantic comedy: the provocatively titled The F Word. To add to the glory,,, he's got quite an adept partner in crime: Zoe Kazan, writer and star of the recent romantic foray Ruby Sparks.The F Word comes from director Michael Dowse, whose more recent ventures include Goon and Take Me Home Tonight. The story will feature Radcliffe as a nice guy who attempts to pioneer the idea of a successful platonic friendship between a man and a woman, despite his growing affection for her (a situation made worse by the fact that she already has a boyfriend). The project seems in keeping with a load of romantic comedy traditions, but the real strength of films in this genre is the charm of their stars. Radcliffe and Kazan could charm the nose off of Voldemort.Kazan is pretty well-versed in the rom-com realm, what with Ruby Sparks, It's Complicated and I Hate Valentine's Day under her belt,
but Radcliffe has yet to sink his teeth into a film of this variety. Since concluding his Harry Potter run, Radcliffe has experimented with horror (The Woman in Black), comedy (his fantastic turn on SNL), and has signed onto an Allen Ginsberg biopic (Kill Your Darlings) and a historical drama.
The decision to make a sequel, however unnecessary it may be (they found Nemo, after all), doesn't really come as much of a surprise. With previous, successful sequels behind them and Monsters University on the horizon, Pixar seems to be capitalizing on some of their most beloved and profitable hits.
What is noteworthy, however, is who has been tapped helm Nemo back to the big screen. Andrew Stanton, who was behind the original Finding Nemo and 2008's brilliant Wall-E, also just happens to have the biggest flop of, not only 2012, but possibly all time, to his credit. Stanton's venture into live-action effort John Cartercaused Disney to take a $200 million bath. Even with the pox of JAHN CAHTAH OF EARTH to his name, Stanton's previous animated efforts (A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo, Wall-E) earned a combined worldwide intake of over $1.7 billion at the box office and two Best Animated Feature Oscars for the studio. With the inevitable success of Finding Nemo 2 (which does not have a release date scheduled yet) Disney's decision to put Stanton on board could mean the flop is now just water under John Carter's very shaky bridge.
Shekhar Kapur is surprised that his casual meeting with Ranbir Kapoor has sparked speculation that the actor will replace Hrithik Roshan in the filmmaker's ambitious Paani project. "Oops! Can't I meet an actor I like without setting of rounds of speculation? And would anyone be silly enoughto give up Hrithik for a film," tweeted Kapur.According to reports, the Mr.India filmmaker has been meeting Ranbir and considering roping him in for the long-awaited movie, based on water wars.But Kapur says he just enjoys the young star's company."Press asking why I've been seen with Ranbir Kapoor
