BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Maya Rudolph & Terry Crews Join The Willoughbys

THR is reporting Maya Rudolph and Terry Crews have joined the voice cast of animated feature The Willoughbys, along with Martin Short, Jane Krakowski and Sean Cullen.

The newcomers join previously announced star and producer Ricky Gervais, who will narrate the Bron Studios animation that is based on the popular children's book by The Giver author Lois Lowry.

The Willoughbys follows four kids — Tim, Jane and the twins — after they are abandoned by their selfish parents and embark on a wild adventure into the world, where they find a new modern family of their own.

Short and Krakowski will voice Father and Mother Willoughby, parents so in love with each other they forget they even have children, while Rudolph will be the voice of the kindly Nanny, and Crews will play the candy mogul, Commandor Melanoff. Cullen will voice Willoughby twin boys, Barnaby A and B.

Aardman and Sony grad Kris Pearn adapted and will direct the feature with co-director Cory Evans. Brenda Gilbert, Aaron L. Gilbert and Luke Carroll are producing for the Canada-based Bron, and Gervais will executive produce, alongside Jason Cloth of Creative Wealth Media.

Bron is currently in production for an original animated feature, Henchmen, whose cast includes James Marsden, Thomas Middleditch and Rosario Dawson.

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device.

The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
