Today, November 29th, is Anna’s 33rd birthday! I would love to wish Anna an amazing day today!

Feel free to leave your birthday messages in the “comments” section of this post.

“Scary Movie” actress Anna Faris is in negotiations to star as Robin Williams’ daughter in “Wedding Banned,” a Disney romantic comedy.

“Banned” revolves around a long-divorced couple who kidnap their daughter (Faris) on her wedding day to prevent her from making the same mistakes they did. The parents rekindle their relationship as they elude cops and the angry groom.

Williams is on board as the father; the mother has not been cast. The project has no director attached.

Faris recently signed to star with Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake in “Yogi Bear” for Warner Bros. She can be heard in Sony’s animated “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”

Universal Pictures has acquired “TMI,” a comic vehicle for Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris. Pic becomes one of the first purchases made by the new U regime of Adam Fogelson and Donna Langley.

Scripted by Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith and Marc Klein, the comic premise is that while honesty is the best policy for a relationship, “too much information” might not be the best thing.

Andrew Panay (“Old Dogs”) will produce with Jonathon Komack Martin, latter of whom partners with Reynolds in Dark Trick Films. Reynolds will be executive producer.

Fogelson and Langley were upped to the chairman and co-chair posts at U last month, replacing Marc Shmuger and David Linde (Daily Variety, Oct. 6). The shakeup came on the heels of a series of box office misfires for the studio.

Reynolds, who is coming off “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and “The Proposal,” next stars as the title character in the Martin Campbell-directed “Green Lantern.”

“TMI” is a possible candidate to follow that superhero effort.

Alvin and the Chipmunks to release earlier in the US
The “Squeakeal” to the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie has now been pushed up to December 23 instead of Christmas day in the US, reported Variety.com.

20th Century Fox announced the change in release dates to cater to school kids in the US who will go on holiday on the Wednesday before Christmas. The much awaited sequel to the animation film has Anna Faris and Justin Long as voices as well as Christina Applegate.

Dan Aykroyd and Anna Faris are in negotiations to star in “Yogi Bear,” a live-action/animated feature take on the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon.

Faris will play a nature documentarian who follows the antics of a bear in fictional Jellystone Park. Aykroyd will voice Yogi, and Justin Timberlake could supply the voice of Yogi’s constant companion, Boo Boo.

The project is set up at Warner Bros., which hopes to start production in New Zealand next month. Eric Brevig will direct.

Faris, who was last seen in front of the cameras with “Observe and Report,” has been recently lending her voice for animated fare, including “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” and “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.”

Aykroyd, who is working on a third “Ghostbusters” movie, was last seen on the screen in 2008′s “War Inc.”

Timberlake has been increasing his feature presence of late. He will be seen in the upcoming drama “Open Road,” and recently signed to star in “The Social Network,” the Facebook movie being directed by David Fincher.
