Steve Carell’s new magician comedy Burt Wonderstone “is set in the world of rival Las Vegas magicians.” Jim Carrey will play a newfangled illusionist who threatens Carell and leads to a breakup with his partner Steve Buscemi; Olivia Wilde will play Carell’s former assistant and present love interest. So…best movie ever?
CBS has bought a show based on a long-running Israeli sitcom in which “a middle-aged, recently divorced couple who was bad at marriage discover they are now really bad at divorce - and can’t help but being involved in each others’ lives.” Hmm.

Eddie Murphy says he’s writing a movie for the cast originally lined up for Tower Heist: him, Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle, Tracy Morgan, and Martin Lawrence.
