Future Film Round-up

- Saturday Night Live Alums Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider and David Spade are teaming up for a new comedy. All that’s missing is Chris Farley, so instead we get … Kevin James.

- There will be a third Star Trek trailer, with new footage, in front of The Watchmen on March 6th.

- Woody Allen continues his film-a-year pace (seriously, the guy is in his 70s and still going, strongly, in my opinion). After this summer’s Whatever Works, with Larry David and Evan Rachel Wood, Woody is heading back to London for an untitled film starring Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins. Due in 2010.

- Screenwriter Tony Kushner thinks Spielberg’s Lincoln (which Kushner co-wrote) may be out by Christmas.

- Steven Soderbergh has signed on to direct Moneyball, based on the story of the Oakland A’s general manager, Billy Beane, who developed a new way of rating baseball players, which led to Oakland fielding a highly competitive team, yet somehow couldn’t seem to have taught J.P. Ricciardi a damn thing.
