Owen Wilson May Take Admission

He's close to Paul Weitz' filmSince finishing up work on Robert De Niro/Paul Dano drama Being Flynn, Paul Weitz has been busy trying to set up his next project, novel adaptation Admission. Back in January 2011, it looked like Tina Fey might be getting ready to star, and while she's still not locked in, Vulture reports that Owen Wilson is also close to jumping aboard.Admission was adapted from Jean Hanff Korelitz' novel and follows posh college admissions officer Portia Nathan (the part Fey is considering). When she falls for a 17-year-old likely student with plenty of rough edges, it starts to unravel her personal, professional and romantic life.Assuming he signs on, Wilson would play a teacher at a local high school that also falls for the fetching administrator.Weitz has a script from Karen Croner in hand, but no solid deals are quite in place yet. Should he land both Fey and Wilson (whose career is on a healthy upswing thanks to Midnight In Paris), he'll want to get the thing in front of cameras this June, when Fey hits hiatus from 30 Rock.

CG Monsters, Villains Star in Slightly More Coherent Wrath of the Titans Trailer

Forget John Carter's controversial budget woes and terrible tracking for a minute; Wrath of the Titans has been threatening to be the first big biff of 2012 since it was announced, thanks largely to its poorly received predecessor, Clash of the Titans. The sequel's initial Marilyn Manson-themed trailer didn't help, either, but Warner Bros. have thankfully tightened things (and stopped lingering on Sam Worthington's Kenny Powers 'do) for a new trailer that actually promises some fantastic CG creature work. Bring on the lava monster thingy! Wrath of the Titans picks up ten years after the events of Clash, with Perseus (Worthington) tapped once again by Zeus to save the world, this time from the nefarious Titans and Olympian plotters we glimpsed in Immortals. (Thanks for that primer, Tarsem!) This time around Rosamund Pike is along for the ride as the warrior queen Andromeda, as well as folks like Toby Kebbell and Bill Nighy. This trailer tightens things up a bit, explaining the set up (Liam Neeson's Zeus is under attack!) and packing a ton of CG creature looks into the span of a minute and a half. Honestly, that's shaping up to be the draw of this Jonathan Liebesman-helmed sequel. All I want to see is some believable lava smoke monster giant action. The movies never get those guys quite right. Wrath of the Titans will debut March 30. [via ComingSoon]
