Zac Efron is expanding his movie resume.

He'll be starring in Seventeen, alongside Matthew Perry, and will also play a role in Me and Orson Welles, an adaptation of the period coming-of-age novel by Robert Kaplow.

Set in 1937, the story centers on a high school student (Efron) who, while strolling the streets of New York, comes across the yet-to-open Mercury Theatre and is noticed by its mercurial founder, Orson Welles.

The man lands a bit part in "Julius Caesar," the production that catapulted Welles to the top, and spends the next week learning about life and love.

Christian McKay will play Welles, while Ben Chaplin has been cast as English film and stage actor George Coulouris.

The latest Star Trek movie comes out on Christmas Day.

But you don't need to wait that long to get a glimpse of the new version of The U.S.S. Enterprise. Take a look now:

Martin Freeman is known for his comedic chops in movies such as Love Actually and sitcoms such as The Office.

But his next film role, The Good Night, is a bit more serious. Written and directed by Gwyneth Paltrow's brother, Jake, the movie stars Freeman, Jake's sister, Danny DeVito and Penelope Cruz.

Below, Martin speaks to IGN about the part:

IGN: Your character Gary tries to live out his dreams. Have you ever had any really striking or recurring dreams yourself?
Martin Freeman: I've had several really tangible dreams about UFOs and they've been amazing! You know that sort of everyday quality that you get in a couple of scenes in Close Encounters [of the Third Kind] where these lights fly over a road and it somehow seems tangible, somehow seems real.

I've had a few of those dreams about UFOs where it's been absolutely clear that this is the day that the world changes and it's very exciting. I've not had one of those for a while, but I love them when I have them!

IGN: Ever get abducted by the aliens?
Freeman: No, it never gets that far and I suppose that's the thing, dreams are never that literal are they? It's never a proper sort of narrative, they're more a series of random events.

It's common knowledge by now, but Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are all returning in Sex and the City: The Movie.

It comes out May 3o.

Ready to "Get Carried Away"?

The X-Files sequel is out there.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are back as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in the Untitled X-Files Sequel, which has a tentative release date of July 25, 2008.

Here's a shot of the stars on set:

"There's a whole audience I want to introduce X-Files to," Chris Carter, creator of the series and director of the new movie, told USA Today. "There were kids who couldn't watch it on TV because it was too scary. Now they're in college. I wanted a movie that everyone could go to."

What do you wanna see happen in The X-Files 2?

Thanks to the writers' strike, Heroes star Hayden Panettiere has a lot of free time on her hands.

And she's using it to star in a couple new films. The latest is called I Love You, Beth Cooper.

The 18-year-old actress will appear at the title character in teen comedy, which will be produced by Chris Columbus (Rent, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets).

As Beth Cooper, Panettiere is a hot cheerleader (typecasting!) that is the object of a nerdy valedictorian's obsession. The pair embark on a series of misadventures after he proclaims his love for her in his graduation speech.

Later this year, Hayden will appear in the drama Fireflies in the Garden alongside Julia Roberts.

Not surprisingly, Atonement led the nominations for this year's British Academy Film Awards. The Keira Knightley/James McAvoy vehicle racked up 14 nominations.

The Other Boleyn Girl can only hope it achieves the same critical acclaim as another best-selling book made into a big-time movie, Atonement.

Starring Eric Bana, Natalie Portman and Scarlet Johansson, here's a look at The Other Boleyn Girl:

How did you feel about the ending to No Country for Old Men?

Some fans were disappointed at the somewhat anticlimactic way the film came to a close - but star Josh Brolin isn't one of them.

"I love that people are talking about this movie. I love that people leave the movie saying, ‘I hate the ending. I was so pissed.' Good, it was supposed to piss you off," the 39-year-old star told MTV News. "You completely lend yourself to [my] character and then you're completely raped of this character.

I don't find it manipulative at all. I find it to be a great homage to that kind of violence."

Brolin went on to challenge those that disagreed with his viewpoint.

"You wanted to see his death, why? Because you're used to it. Aren't you so pleased to see a different take on the same cat and mouse game?" he asked. "I would think that you are happy and it seems that you are happy because you're pissed off and you have something to talk about all day."

J.J. Abrams! A monster! All that mystery!

For months and months, movie fans have been teased about the upcoming horror/suspense film, Cloverfield. But does the flick live up to the hype? Let's see how a handful of critics feel about it...

- Cloverfield is a fun movie. Plain and simple. It's sit back, relax and go. It's a roller coaster ride. -- Slash Film

- A combination of unpleasantness and stupidity that would be difficult to match, unless you were stuck in bed with the flu while being forced to watch Lou Dobbs. -- Kyle Smith

- A robust 80-minute burst of barely-controlled mayhem. Monster fans will love it. -- Fearnet.com

- Will grab you in its jaws, toss you around like a chew toy for a rollicking 80 minutes (yes, it's a short â€" but oh so sweet â€" flick) and still leave you panting for more. -- IGN
