The Spiderwick Chronicles
From the beloved best-selling series of books comes The Spiderwick Chronicles, a fantasy adventure for the child in all of us. Peculiar things start to happen the moment the Grace family (Jared, his twin brother Simon, sister Mallory and their mom) leave New York and move into the secluded old house owned by their great, great uncle Arthur Spiderwick. Unable to explain the strange disappearances and accidents that seem to be happening on a daily basis, the family blames Jared. When he, Simon and Mallory investigate what's really going on, they uncover the fantastic truth of the Spiderwick estate and of the creatures that inhabit it.

Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?
When eight married college friends reunite for their annual retreat in the snowcapped mountains of Colorado, they come expecting fun and relaxation, but get a completely unexpected surprise. Career-driven Dianne and her supportive, but fed-up husband, Terry, are joined by popular psychologist and best-selling author Patricia and her architect husband Gavin, who share a secret tragedy that finally comes to light, while Angela and Marcus argue constantly, but remain in love. Also in attendance is their good friend Sheila, a sweet woman with a distorted self-image stemming from weight issues that are exacerbated by her emotionally abusive and philandering husband, Mike. Unlike any other year, this trip changes the dynamic of the group with two new additions: Sheila's supposed girlfriend, Trina, who is secretly sleeping with her husband; and Troy, an ex-Wall Street stockbroker who has put his career on hold to care for an ailing father.
 

The Buzz..

Miley Cyrus might have won last weekend's box office war, but a green ogre one-upped her with the kiddies. Shrek the Third took four nods, followed by Hannah Montana and its star with three for the upcoming Nickelodeon 21st Annual Kids Choice Awards. Jack Black will return as host for the March 29 festivities. The DreamWorks' animated Shrek received nominations for favorite movie and the voice work of Mike Meyers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy. Cyrus, 15, got nominations for best TV actress and female singer, while her Disney Channel show Hannah Montana got a favorite TV show nod.

The Police won the award for Major Tour of the Year at the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. They were up against Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Van Halen, Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake and Hannah Montana. The Police accepted their award via video from Singapore. Also making an appearance via video was Van Halen who presented the Road Warrior of the Year Award to their road manager, Marc Robbins.

NBC has put its money where its CEO's mouth is, skipping the pilot process to go straight to series with the comedy Kath & Kim. The network has ordered six episodes of the show, which is based on a hit Australian series about the love-hate relationship between a woman and her adult daughter. NBC's version will star Molly Shannon (Saturday Night Live) and Selma Blair (Legally Blonde).

Television is about to become even more Flavor-ful. Entertainer Flavor Flav will star in the sitcom Under One Roof for MyNetworkTV, set to premiere this spring. This follows shortly after the debut of the third season of his VH1 dating reality show Flavor of Love.

 

NBC is making some last-minute changes under the hood of its Knight Rider update, bringing in Val Kilmer as the voice of KITT. The star is taking over voice-over duties from Will Arnett (Arrested Development). Instead of the usual "creative differences," though, Arnett's departure was caused by the fact that he's already the voice of a different kind of vehicle. In the new "Knight Rider," which NBC is calling a sequel to the 1980s series, KITT is a Ford Mustang. Arnett, however, has done commercial voice-overs for GMC Trucks for several years, and General Motors asked him to withdraw from the project, in which Ford is a marketing partner.

 

If you're looking to get your Friday-night wrestling fix this fall, don't look on The CW. WWE Friday Night SmackDown! and the CW Network have parted ways.

ABC has picked up an animated series from King of the Hill co-creator Mike Judge, even though not a word has been written yet. The network has ordered 13 episodes of an animated comedy called The Goode Family from Judge (Office Space) and fellow Hill veterans John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky. The show is being produced by Media Rights Capital, which recently signed an interim deal with the Writers Guild that will allow scripting on the show to begin.

Super Bowl commercial star Justin Timberlake will lead the cast of the indie drama The Open Road along with Jeff Bridges, Mary Steenburgen and Kate Mara.

Hilary Swank will star as Amelia Earhart in a biopic of the famous aviator. Titled Amelia, the film will portray Earhart in the formative stages of her career. George Putnam, a publisher and publicist, was engaged by society denizen Amy Guest to set up a daring nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean. When Guest was talked out of trying to become the first woman to make the trip, she dispatched Putnam to find a female pilot, and to turn the flight into a media event. Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic but disappeared in 1937 when she failed to circumnavigate the globe. Her disappearance remains to this day one of the world's biggest mysteries.

Dominic Monaghan (Lost) will join Edna McCallion's psychological thriller Pet for MGM. Monaghan will play Seth, a man who bumps into his old high school crush and quickly becomes obsessed with her. He takes her captive underneath the animal shelter where he works but soon suspects that his old flame is not who she seems to be.

But the deal reportedly fell through and the movie's plans were shelved.
