Justin Theroux boards 'Space Invader'

Justin Theroux ("Mulholland Dr.") is keeping himself busy these days, and that's a good thing. The actor/writer/producer/director has just boarded Fox's upcoming romantic space comedy "Space Invader."

The Hollywood Reporter says the story follows a man who wants to space after he suspects his astronaut girlfriend is cheating on him with a spacewalker. Will Arnett is in talks to star in the project.

Here is a brief summary of today's film stories straight out of Hollywood and from across the Web:

• I hated "The X-Files: I Want to Believe," but as a diehard fan of the TV series, I know how to forgive and would still like to see another film. So does David Duchovny, who recently said he would love to do another film set in 2012. Read more right here.

• Selena Gomez from "The Wizards of Waverly Place" will star in New Line Cinema's "What Boys Want" from a comedy pitch by Amy Andelson and Emily Meyer. The film follows a teenage chick who can hear men's thoughts. Freakyyyyyy... (Variety)

Ready for the ‘Wall Street’ sequel?

It’s been 21 years since the release of Oliver Stone’s Oscar-winning “Wall Street,” but hey, it’s never too late for a sequel, right?

And a sequel you will get! According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fox is moving forward with the follow-up to Stone’s flick, which at this point is titled “Money Never Sleeps.” I personally think that title stinks.

Anyway, plot details are kept under wraps of course, but what we do know at this point is that Gordon Gekko will return. Michael Douglas played the character in the first film.

Although Douglas is interested in reprising his role, the trade says he hasn’t confirmed anything quite yet. Apparently it all comes down to whether he likes the script, which Allan Loeb is writing.

Loeb’s credits include “Things We Lost in the Fire,” “21” and television’s “New Amsterdam.”

So, do you really want to take another trip to Wall St.? I just think this whole idea is utterly stupid and pointless. There, I said it. Now you can hate me.
