Christina Ricci, Owen Benjamin, Bill Engvall, Nadine Velazquez and Cedric the Entertainer are set to join Scott Marshall’s upcoming comedy “All’s Faire in Love,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Benjamin, who recently starred in “The House Bunny,” will play a drama school grad who becomes the fetch boy for his new Renaissance theater group. Things seem to improve when he meets a Faire virgin (Ricci), although his colleagues threaten to interrupt their romance.

Also on board are Ann-Margret, Louise Griffiths and Matthew Lillard. Marshall is directing a script by Robert A. White.

Originally, the film was titled “Ye Olde Times,” with Jack Black attached to star as a professor. Black’s role is now in the hands of Cedric the Entertainer.

Ricci recently starred in “Speed Racer.” She will next be seen in “New York, I Love You.” Engvall’s most recent big-screen appearance was “Delta Farce,” while

The first immensely unfunny viral video for the upcoming Mall Cop movie has been unearthed. In the movie, Kevin James stars as mall security guard Paul Blart and when the mall is overtaken by a gang of organized crooks, it's up to him to save the day. We've neglected to ever mention Mall Cop before today because I much prefer the Seth Rogen mall security comedy Observe and Report instead. And this video proves how terribly unfunny and unentertaining this version will be. The only enjoyable part of watching this was all the cool skating footage at the beginning, and the moment Kevin James steps in, it's instantly boring. This really looks like it'll be the worst comedy since Delta Farce, so don't waste your time. Watch the viral teaser for Mall Cop: [flv:http://bitcast-a.bitgravity.com/firstshowing/mallcopviral.flv http://bitcast-a.bitgravity.com/firstshowing/mallcopviral.jpg 400 226] Paul Blart: Mall Cop is directed by Steve Carr, of Next Friday, Dr. Dolittle 2, Daddy

According to the NY Times, Ben Stiller's upcoming Hollywood satire/action comedy, Tropic Thunder is going to be boycotted—but not by Larry The Cable Guy fans angry that the movie bears too close a resemblance to Delta Farce. Instead, a coalition of disability groups plans to boycott Tropic Thunder because a joke movie within that movie is offensive, and they don't understand satire. Or something. From the NY Times: “Not only might it happen, it will happen,” Timothy P. Shriver, chairman of the Special Olympics, said of the expected push for a boycott. Speaking by phone, Mr. Shriver said he planned to be in Los Angeles with representatives of his group and others to picket the movie’s premiere on Monday evening in this city’s Westwood district. A particular sore point has been the film’s repeated use of the term “retard” in referring to a character,

There's very little doubt about what movie will have the longest lines next weekend. The Dark Knight may break the all-time opening weekend record. Then again, it might not, if a lot of people, believing it will break the opening weekend record, don't want to screw with the long lines. Maybe they'll stay away completely, or maybe, having spent all that time in line just to see sold out theaters for The Dark Knight, they'll see something else instead.

The summer movie season has a few weeks where it seems as though one movie has a weekend all to itself, but it's hardly the case here. In fact, with all the talk surrounding how The Dark Knight might make $160, $180 million dollars in three days - speculation based primarily on geeked-up hope more than anything else - it's worth pointing out that of the top three films of all time in terms of stratospheric debuts,
