Justin Theroux is the latest to join David Gordon Green's upcoming comedy “Your Highness," which also stars James Franco, Danny McBride, Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel. The film is already shooting, and I just posted an entry about a set photo potentially showing Portman earlier today.

But back to this story. The Hollywood Reporter says Theroux is on board to play a villain. Written by McBride and Ben Best, the film follows an arrogant prince (McBride) and his brother (Franco), who must show great courage and fulfill a perilous quest to secure the future of his dad’s kingdom.

Work on 'Iron Man' sequel has begun

In a recent interview with The Los Angeles Times, helmer Jon Favreau said work on the "Iron Man" sequel has already begun.

I know that's not exactly the most exciting information, but at least we know the project is already in development.

Marvel and Paramount are shooting for a late April release date in 2010. The first film opened this May and pulled in $316.4 million domestically. 

Penning the script for the anticipated sequel is Justin Terhoux, who most recently co-wrote Ben Stiller's "Tropic Thunder." His acting credits also include "Mulholland Dr.," "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "Miami Vice."
