Daily news dose: Christine Jeffs to helm 'Tonight;' Bond 23 gets screenwriters

Peter MorganHere's your dose of film news for June 15, 2009:

• Christine Jeffs, who most recently directed "Sunshine Cleaning," is set to helm Castle Rock's upcoming "Wonderful Tonight." J. Mills Goodloe wrote the script, which centers on a bachelor and a woman whose lives change when she gets pegnant after a one-night stand. (Variety)

• Peter Morgan (pictured), whose credits include "The Queen" and "Frost/Nixon," will join regular Bond screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade for the script of Bond 23. Purvis and Wade also worked on the scripts for "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace." No word yet on when the latest Bond will hit theaters, but my guess is November 2011. (The Hollywood Reporter)

• Skyler Samuels is the latest to join Brendan Fraser in Roger Kumble's upcoming family film "Furry Vengeance," a comedy about a developer who's forced to battle local wildlife while building a new housing subdivision in the Oregon wilderness. Samuels previously appeared on "Wizards of Waverly Place." (THR)

RIA Novosti recently talked to Timur Bekmabetov, and the director told the news Web site that work on "Wanted 2" will begin shortly, with prep kicking off this summer and shooting tentatively set for this fall or winter. Oh, and apparently, Angelina Jolie's character will return for the sequel as well. Huh? (via ComingSoon)

Here's the poster for 'Sunshine Cleaning'

From the producers of "Little Miss Sunshine" comes "Sunshine Cleaning," a comedy starring Emily Blunt, Amy Adams and Alan Arkin.

ImpAwards just recently added a new poster for the film, which is directed by Christine Jeffs from a script by Megan Holley.

The film focuses on two sisters who want to make some quick cash by starting up a crime scene clean-up business. It's a dirty business indeed.

Blunt, Adams and Arkin together in one film sounds delicious. I recently caught the trailer for "Sunshine Cleaning" in theaters, and I have to admit, it looks hilarious.

The film is scheduled to open in limited relesse March 13, 2009. Adams is currently onscree  in "Doubt." Blunt will be seen in "The Wolf Man" later this year.
