Zac Efron to Dance Again in Seventeen Again

Attention, teenage girls who are crying over the fact that Zac Efron will never dance again after High School 3 is finished being filmed:

Adam Shankman, the producer/director/choreographer of Hairspray, told MTV recently that this young heart throb will be taking to the dance floor in Seventeen Again.

"We have some very funny scenes between him and Leslie Mann from Knocked Up, which are off-the-charts funny," Shankman said. "But there's also this big thing with Zac dancing with a lot of cheerleaders that is very, very fun and funny."

In an audio interview with IESB.net, Steve Carell said that before he earned the the role of Maxwell Smart, both Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell were considered for the starring turn in Get Smart.

The Office star recalled going to Warner Brothers for a reading about three years ago:

"It was the most surreal moment, because I went in thinking I was just going to audition for a role. I didn't expect them to offer me the part of Maxwell Smart."

Jason Segal: Naked in Forgetting Sarah Marshall

This summer, fans of Judd Apatow (and laughing, in general) can look forward to Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

One part of the movie people may find more disturbing than funny, however? The Jason Segal nude scene.

At the recent WonderCon 2008 convention, the film's star discussed his full frontal scene:

"I had a little bit of whiskey and I tried to get the room as warm as possible because there were 300 people there. That was about it. I tried to focus on good things," said Segal, as the audience burst into laughter. "OK. Look. If we're going to do this, let's do it.

Down with Sarah!

A scene from Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

You have this short window of when you can shoot the scene and you don't want to go out and look like you've been in a freezing cold room. But you also don't want to go out like you're ready to go. You know what I'm saying? So there's a fine line of the proper amount of… five minutes, that's all I need."

Couldn't Segal have just worn a sock for the scene, though?

"But to find a sock that big is not easy," the actor joked.

Night at the Museum 2 Spoilers, Courtesy of Hank Azaria

Hank Azaria does a lot of talking for a living. He's the voice of numerous characters on The Simpsons.

Now, the actor is also speaking out on his role in Night at the Museum 2. Azaria will play "a fictional Egyptian pharaoh that comes to life" in Night at the Museum 2: Escape From the Smithsonian, he told MTV.

"I'm the villain in the movie and have all sorts of nasty plans for modern society and poor Ben Stiller gets caught in the middle of it," said Azaria.

The actor added that the ever-adorable Amy Adams will be playing Amelia Earhart and that many of the original cast are set to return.

"Owen Wilson is coming back and so is Steve Coogan and Ricky Gervais. And there's other fun folks too who haven't officially signed on yet playing historical figures," he said.

Jon Favreau Dishes on Iron Man

Jon Favreau recently spoken to Rotten Tomatoes about this summer's blockbuster, Iron Man. Here's an excerpt:

What can the audience expect? What can fans expect?
Jon Favreau: For this thing to work -- when I mean work, I mean to make sense for Marvel, to me, to the movie business -- it has to attract people who don't know anything about the film or about the character. And so, we walk everybody through everything that happens. We don't assume any reality because it's in books.

I think we also limit things a little bit, and make them a little bit more plausible in this chapter so that people will get it and don't feel like, "Oh, it's just a comic book movie, anything can happen."

Iron Man Picture

Also, we have a cast that's a little bit more broadly appealing, so that people might give us a chance who wouldn't normally come to a Marvel film. But for the fans, we wanted to have enough stuff happening in there that it seems like we were either staying true to [the character] or making a choice to go against what their expectations might be based on.

We always said, "Here's a suit. How can we tip a hat to the suit [and also make it something new]?" Or, in the books [Stark] was in Vietnam. "Let's make it Afghanistan now. That seems consistent as an adaptation."
