• Harrison Ford Has Dual Role in CBS Films' First Project

  Harrison Ford will star in and executive produce the first movie from CBS Films.

  The movie -- which is scheduled for release in April 2010 -- is inspired by the true story of John and Aileen Crowley, whose two children were diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder in 1998 and given only a few years to live. The Crowleys sought the aid of Dr. Robert Stonehill, an unconventional scientist who eventually helped them find a cure.  Ford will play Dr. Stonehill alongside Brendan Frasier and Keri Russell, who will portray the Crowleys.

  Other CBS Films projects currently in the works include The Back-Up Plan with Jennifer Lopez and Beastly with Vanessa Hudgens.

• Take Mom out for Pie and Some Funny

  To coincide with the release of Waitress and Mother's Day (It's this Sunday kids, so get those cards in the mail!) Fox Searchlight has cooked up a sweet little promotion at 100 theaters across the nation.

  Moviegoers seeing Waitress at one of these theaters on Mother's Day will receive a free gift bag filled with beauty products and, you guessed it, frozen pie. No word yet on whether theaters will offer to heat up the pies for a popcorn alternative during the flick.

  The full details of the promotion are available at Moviewithmom.com.

  Waitress has been garnering very strong reviews worldwide, currently a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. Our own Heather Huntington is also a fan, scoring Waitress and 8 out of 10.

• Buy an apron for a good cause

  The new indie drama Waitress arrives in theaters this week amidst rave reviews from critics across the country. Unfortunately, Waitress writer/director Adrienne Shelly never got a chance to enjoy the film's success, as she was murdered in her New York apartment last year.

  In conjunction with the premiere of Waitress, The Adrienne Shelly Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the memory of the slain writer/director/actor, has partnered with CharityFolks.com to auction one-of-a-kind aprons decorated, designed and autographed by stars such as Keri Russell, Cheryl Hines and more.

  Check out ReelzChannel.com's Waitress page to read Heather Huntington's review of the movie and see her interviews with its stars.
