Here's your dose of quick news bits for Jan. 21, 2008...

• Bad news for those who thought they'd see Renee Zellweger say a dirty word in "New in Town." Lionsgate has cut out some of the strong language from the upcoming romance to make it more kid-friendly. Hey, a romance doesn't need to appeal to kids. Say you did it for the money. Anyway, the PG film opens Jan. 30. (Variety)

• "500 Days of Summer" director Marc Webb is set to helm "The Spectacular Now" for Fox Searchlight. Based on the book by Tim Tharp, the story focuses on a partying high school senior whose life takes a turn when he encounters a shy girl. Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber will write the screenplay. (Variety)

• Tobey Maguire is set to produce "Good People," the big-screen adaptation of Marcus Sakey's book.
