The rundown on Hot Tub Time Machine: stars Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, John Cusack, and Rob Corddry, plus is purported to feature appearances by Chevy Chase and Crispin Glover.  Directed by Steve Pink (Mr. Pink, hee hee!), who last did Accepted.  Official synopsis:

After a night of drinking Red Bull and vodkas, a group of guys travel back in time to when they were younger cads.

Honestly, I could sit here all day telling you about Hot Tub Time Machine, but let’s face it: the movie’s called Hot Tub Time Machine.  There’s no way you aren’t going to see it.  In fact, I don’t know why they even bothered making a regular trailer.  The teaser for this movie should just be a border collie with mirrored shades riding around on a skateboard while Huey Lewis & the News sing a rockin jam called “Hot Tub Time Machine.”

I can already tell this is going to be the next Snakes on a Plane.  John Cusack and Rob Corddry have signed up, with Craig Robinson in negotiations, for Hot Tub Time Machine, with Steve Pink on direct (I bet his friends call him “Mr. Pussy” a lot).

The script follows a group of guys who have grown frustrated with their adult lives. They return to the ski lodge where they partied as teens to find answers and are transported to 1987 via their hot tub, a bubbly time machine. [THR]

Oh my gosh, I wonder if they’ll wear outrageous 80s outfits!  In related news, I have a hot tub time machine. It runs on booze and sadness and only travels to tomorrow.  The good news is that you can reuse it as many times as you want.

Rob Corddry from The Daily Show has been cast as former white house press secretary Ari Fleischer in Oliver Stone’s W.

It’s unclear how big a part Fleisher will play in the movie, but if Corddry’s recent roles in What Happens in Vegas and Heartbreak Kid are any indication, Fleisher will be Bush’s kooky best friend.  Bush will play the inveterate lady’s man until his buddy Ari bets him $5,000 he can’t stay with his latest hook up Condoleeza for more than 40 days.  After a few days, W is almost ready to throw in the towel, but forces himself to think of the five grand and power through for a few more days.  As time goes on, he gradually discovers that she’s more than just a sex object and starts to fall in love.  "I think… I love… my black tail on the side," Bush is surprised to hear himself saying.  But just when it looks like things are going perfectly, she finds out about the bet and is furious.  Then Bush has to prove his love was real, and in the process, they all learn a little something about finding love in the strangest of places.
