One of New Jersey’s finest is ready to bring something new to the big screen. According to a report from Deadline, Kevin Smith’s latest film, The 4:30 Movie, has been acquired by Saban Films. The coming-of-age comedy follows three teenagers who spend their weekends lurking the theaters of their local multiplex — which is no different than how Smith spent his childhood — and the debilitating shake-up when one of the boys brings his crush into the fold. A slew of veteran comedians, including Ken Jeong, Sam Richardson and Rachel Dratch, are set to star alongside newcomers Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo and Reed Northrup. 

Meanwhile, Danny DeVito’s directorial breakthrough War of the Roses is getting a new flavor — of the beans-on-toast variety. The 1989 film originally starring Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas is being remade by Austin Powers director Jay Roach, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman as the titular warring Roses. The remake, simply titled The Roses, will be the second adaptation of Warren Adler’s 1981 novel about the “perfect couple” whose marriage ends with a bitter divorce and nasty battle over their possessions. 

The timeline also has a bunch of loudmouth comedians ready to have their piece heard. Today’s funniest tweets include those about the perfect housewarming chemical, the men who found Waldo and someone whose metaphor got a little too literal.
