What a wonderful cast! Pedro Almodovar is lining up a bunch of great actors for his next film. Described as a comedy akin to Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios, the film will reunite some of Almodovar's regulars, such as Cecilia Roth (Todo sobre mi madre), Lola Duenas (Volver), Javier Camara (Hable con ella). Also cast are Raul Arevalo, Carlos Areces and Jose Maria Yazpik. The producer is counting on a 2013 release.

Steve McQueen's cast is also getting better and better. 12 Years a Slave tells the story a free black man who finds himself forced into slavery and taken to Louisiana. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Brad Pitt are already in. Adepero Oduye is in talks to co-star.

Alec Baldwin has declared that next season of 30 Rock will be his last season as Jack Donaghy... and also hinted that Season 7 will be the last of the show. It already seems incredible that 30 Rock has managed to last so long with ratings that were not great. Is it because she knows it's the end that Tina Fey has been so uninspired lately?

J.K Rowling has started the Harry Potter Encyclopedia !!!! (that's it)

And now, a little treat: promotion for Ridley Scott's Prometheus continues. A new viral video has just been released, showing Michael Fassbender's character, an android named David. The video managed to reconcile me with Fassbender's blond hair! (which, if you know me, is a great achievement).

That's it for today friends. Viddy Well!
