It'd be one thing if there were reports of a new movie starring Christopher Walken and Shirley MacLaine.

Walken will famously take any project that can meet his price, and MacLaine's choice of late reflect either a similar disinterest or simply reflect the reality for actresses her age - you take what you can get.

It's also starring Adam Beach, who was the best part of "Flags of Our Fathers," and Ashley Greene of the "Twilight" saga.

It came as little surprise when it was announced that Johnny Depp would star in a Tim Burton-directed adaptation of "Dark Shadows," a gothic vampire soap opera from the 1960s.

In the time leading up to the Golden Globes, one story quietly snuck under the radar - Comedy Central and MTV are teaming up to present The Comedy Awards. And now they've released their list of nominees!

Mitch Hurwitz's Guide to Getting Your Sitcom Cancelled
February 15, 2011 @ 12:00 pm PST    Arrested Development     Scott Nye    

There is no question that "Arrested Development" was one of the best sitcoms in television history during its three-year run, and thanks to the magic of home video, its legacy continues to this day.

Unfortunately, its intensely devoted fan base and commercial rejection seems to have entirely consumed show creator Mitch Hurwitz's life. His two projects since "Arrested Development" was cancelled in 2006, "Sit Down Shut Up" and "Running Wilde," were not terribly successful with either the critics who championed his previous success or t
