Watch Kristen Bell in new 'When in Rome' trailer

Mark Steven Johnson, director of "Daredevil" and "Ghost Rider," turns to comedy with "When in Rome," a film starring Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel, among others. A new trailer for the upcoming flick has just popped up online, and you can give it a shot after the jump.

Kristen Bell in When in Rome

An ambitious young New Yorker (Bell), disillusioned with romance, takes a whirlwind trip to Rome where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a "foolish" fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of an odd group of suitors: But when a charming reporter (Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, how will she know if his love is the real thing?

This trailer is longer than most, and it looks quite ridiculous to say the least. Sure, watching Danny DeVito, Will Arnett, Jon Heder and Dax Shepard running after a chick could be funny in theory, but judging by this footage, their obsession with Kristen Bell doesn't look all that refreshing.

Danny DeVito to direct 'Crazy Eddie' biopic

Filmmaker Danny DeVito will direct "Crazy Eddie," a biopic about the life and career of Eddie Antar, head of the popular U.S. consumer electronics chain.

Antar debuted the Crazy Eddie franchise in 1971, quickly expanding his business while simultaneously developing successful ad campaigns.

His growing business, however, didn't keep Antar from engaging in illegal practices. Charged with fraud, Antar fled to Israel in 1990, although he was soon extradited to the U.S. to serve a prison term.

According to Variety, Peter Steinfeld, whose credits include "21" and "Be Cool," is writing the script. Apparently, DeVito also said Antar will cooperate in making the film.

DeVito was last seen in "Nobel Son." He last directed "Duplex" for the big screen in 2003.
