• More Guys Added to The Other Guys

  Director Adam McKay's newest film, The Other Guys, beefed up its cast with three new additions: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson, and Steve Coogan. Described as an action comedy, The Other Guys stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as a couple of second-string cops who are envious of an elite cop duo. Johnson and Jackson will play the elite cops, while the other recent addition, Coogan, will play the film's villain.

  The Other Guys is being produced by Mosaic and Gary Sanchez Productions. The script is by McKay and Chris Henchy, the writer of Ferrell's latest film, Land of the Lost.

• Denmark's Most Notorious Bad Boy Returns in Hamlet 2

  Something's rotten in the state of Arizona. Shakespeare fans who've waited over four centuries for a follow-up to The Bard's finest work will finally get their wish this August -- courtesy of Hamlet 2, a new comedy from director Andrew Fleming (Threesome, Dick). The film, which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival, stars Steve Coogan (Night at the Museum, Tropic Thunder) as a painfully inept Tuscon, AZ high school drama teacher who attempts to inspire his apathetic students by penning an ill-conceived musical sequel to Hamlet. Amy Poehler (Baby Mama), Catherine Keener (The 40-Year-Old Virgin) and David Arquette (Mr. Courteney Cox) also star.
