'Did You Hear About the Morgans?' trailer hits

Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker in Did You Hear About the Morgans?

It's been a while since we last saw Hugh Grant on the big screen, but he'll soon return in Mark Lawrence's comedy "Did You Hear About the Morgans?," which is scheduled to hit theaters Dec. 11, 2009. Grant also worked with the director on "Music and Lyrics" and "Two Weeks Notice."

A trailer for the "Morgans" has popped up online, and you can check it out after the jump. My first reaction is rather negative, because to be honest, this doesn't look funny to me at all. Okay, I admit I laughed once (pay attention to the Sarah Palin joke in the preview). But see for yourself and share you opinion below.

"Morgans" focuses on a troubled New York couple forced to enter a witness protection program in Wyoming after they witness a murder. It's in the middle of nowhere that they finally seem to understand who they really are and stuff. Oh, and Hugh Grant gets to run from a bear as well. By the way, his wife is portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker.

Victoria Beckham to star in 'Sex and the City 2'?

Will Victoria Beckham join Sarah Jessica Parker and her gang in the upcoming sequel "Sex and the City 2"? According to the Daily Mail, she could, yes.

Apparently, Beckham is currently taking acting lessons for a possible cameo in the film, which Michael Patrick King is currently developing.

I didn't know this, but Posh turned down a quick role in the first flick because she was too busy working on her Spice Girls tour. Rumor has it she will now show up in the follow-up, which is set for release May 28, 2010.

A source tells the Mail: "She really wanted to be in the last movie but wasn’t able to take part because of her commitments with the Spice Girls. This time she’s keen to take part."

Beckham's acting credits include playing herself in the 1997 "Spice World." Yes, that terrible movie that had Rober Moore in it.

'Sex and the City 2' gets 2010 release date

That last year's big-screen version of "Sex and the City" would receive a sequel is not news, but what is new is that New Line Cinema has officially set a release date for "Sex and the City 2."

According to Variety, New Line will release the follow-up May 28, 2010. The first film opened around the same slot, May 30, 2008. Michael Patrick King will return to write and direct the project.

Also back in action are lead actresses Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon. Considering everything she's been through already, I really wonder what adventure they'll have Carrie embark on next...

"Sex and the City" proved to be a box office success last summer. The film grossed $152.6 million domestically and pulled in $412 million worldwide. How about that...
