Whedonverse fans are sure to flock to writer/director/producer Anton King’s new rom-com Lust for Love, which reunites quite a few Dollhouse alumni, including actors Fran Kranz and Dichen Lachman. Kranz leads the cast as Astor, a lovable yet hopeless guy who ruins his chance at a happily ever after with his childhood crush, Mila (Tron Legacy’s Beau Garrett). Convinced that the reason he’s so unlucky in love is because of his lack of experience with women, Astor enlists the help of Mila’s ex-best friend, Cali (Lachman), to teach him a thing or two about wooing the opposite sex.

And if you’ve been missing a few of your favorite familiar faces, despair no more! Lust for Love, a new romantic comedy directed, written, and produced by Anton King, reunites a number of Whedonverse actors with a cast that includes Dollhouse favorites Fran Kranz and Dichen Lachman, as well as Beau Garrett (Tron Legacy), Caitlin Stasey (Reign, I, Frankenstein), and Felicia Day (Supernatural,...

It is hard to think of two projects more different than the horror-comedy The Cabin in the Woods, which hits cinemas April 13, and the new Broadway revival of Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman, which opened a couple of weeks back (to a rave review from EW’s Thom Geier). But they do have a couple things in common. Both productions have an impressive amount of behind-the-scenes talent: Cabin was cowritten by Buffy creator Joss Whedon while Salesman is directed by the legendary Mike Nichols.

Here are a few interesting and/or noteworthy projects that were recently added to IMDbPro's database of development titles:
Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? – With the well of '80s reboots running dry, it's time to usher in a '90s revival. J.Lo's leading the pack with her Nuyorican Productions, updating this forgotten kids gem about a fictional detective agency's attempts to thwart and capture a rogue agent. We only wish original star Lynne Thigpen was still around to dispatch the sleuths.
Knight of Cups – For a filmmaker who spent nearly two decades between releasing films, Terrence Malick seems to be making up for lost time. The director's embarking on a pair of films since wrapping up this year's Tree of Life, bringing his total of current active projects to four -- this one starring Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett and another film called Lawless featuring the duo along side Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara.
Tammy – Newly minted Emmy winner and Bridesmaids scene-stealer Melissa McCarthy wrote this road comedy about a directionless woman and her hard-drinking granny, which has been picked up for development at New Line.
Playdate – Actress-turned-filmmaker Tara Subkoff directs this indie flick starring Radha Mitchell and Natasha Lyonne. Filming is expected to get underway soon.
Lust for Love – Dollhouse alums Felicia Day, Dichen Lachman, Fran Kranz, Enver Gjokaj and Maurissa Tancharoen are teaming up with Australian writer-director Anton King to star in this independent romcom about an innocent guy's efforts to woo women.
