Judd Apatow strikes again. Need I say more?

The Transformers 2 casting rumor that Jonah Hill was going to play Shia LaBeouf’s sidekick actually turned out to be semi-true. For a while, Hill was in talks to play the role. Unfortunately, EW.com reports that the talks have broken down.

I’m bummed for a couple of reasons. One, I’m a little tired of Shia LaBeouf and I thought Jonah Hill would be a nice scene stealer. And two, it would give Hill a chance to practice his PG-13 humor.

Jonah Hill. No joke, IESB has the rumor along with the description from the casting sheet of the character rumored to be played by Jonah Hill.

[CHUCK] 19-25 yrs., Sam’s roommate at Princeton. He runs a conspiracy theory website. Funny in an irreverent, edgy way, he is shocked to see his conspiracy theories come to life. (2nd Lead)

I think Hill would be an excellent addition to the cast, and will definitely give Shia LaBeouf a run for his money and will absolutely be a scene-stealer.

Total Film reports that comedy powerhouse Judd Apatow and his latest crew member Russell Brand (Aldous Snow in Forgetting Sarah Marshall) will be teaming up for a new comedy.

It’s called Get Him to the Greek and will also star Jonah Hill (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Superbad). Brand will be playing an out-of-control rock star who needs to be escorted to a show at the Greek Theater in L.A. More good news – Nicholas Stoller, who directed Sarah Marshall will also be involved. Throw in Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, and maybe even a cameo by Seth Rogen and I’ll be happy.

A couple days ago we heard about How I Met Your Mother star Jason Segel writing a new Muppets movie. According to the MTV Movies Blog, Segel already has some friends lined up for cameos. Those friends include Superbad star Jonah Hill, all-around hilarious guy Paul Rudd, SNL star Kristin Wiig, and Knocked Up star Seth Rogen.

Who else would you want to see cameo in a Muppets movie?

As a fan of “How I Met Your Mother,” and more recently “Freaks and Geeks” on DVD, I’ve really been looking forward to Jason Segel’s writing debut Forgetting Sarah Marshall. There’s a brand new red band trailer up at Empire Online.

The movie looks hilarious, especially if there’s more of Paul Rudd and Jonah Hill than was shown in the trailer. Go check out the trailer.

Happy Friday, everyone! This weekend may be a biggie in the sports world as our beloved Patriots take on the Giants at the Super Bowl, but it’s always a race to the top in Movie Land! That’s right, kids! Welcome to this week’s installment of WIB?!

Now, are the films that the studios are releasing this week up to snuff? Or are you better off staying home and flipping the channels?

Take a look!

The Eye: For once it’s not Sarah Michelle Gellar doing a Japanese remake! This time it’s Jessica Alba. Hey, somebody new! As a recipient of a corneal transplant, Alba gets her sight back, but also gets the kind of visions not many of us would care to see. Yep, it’s the scary and supernatural kind. Whoopee.
Will It Bomb? It’s debatable. While the remake game will always be in play, and the desire for another psychological shocker is apparent, I am not thrilled with the choice for the lead (we all know that SMG and Naomi Watts are the queens of this genre). However, I think that some revenue will come in. It’ll probably get in the mid-to-low end of the 10, shuffling along with Strange Wilderness (see below).
