It's true: Hoffman gets 'Fiction' role

Two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman is reuniting with director Marc Forster and joining the cast of "Stranger Than Fiction." Lindsay Doran is producing under her Three Strange Angels banner. The comedy's cast already includes Will Ferrell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Emma Thompson and Queen Latifah. "Fiction" tells the story of an IRS auditor (Ferrell) who inexplicably finds himself the subject of a narrator only he can hear, who tells him that events have been set in motion that will lead to his imminent death. Hoffman will play a professor who helps the auditor in his attempts to find the narrator and to change his story before it's too late. Mandate Pictures, formerly Senator International, is financing and owns worldwide distribution rights. Zach Helm is the writer. Endeavor-repped Hoffman is onscreen in "Meet the Fockers" and Forster's Oscar-nominated "Finding Neverland."

I see Lohan has her hand in producing too. Is there anything this buxom vixen can't do? Don't believe the rumors, she is all everything. Shes like a stacked mini mac.

Hoffman and Portman Pair Up
Veteran and up-and-comer to star in new fantasy.

Two big names have signed onto a new modern fantasy film called Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. Two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman will star alongside the Star Wars prequels' Natalie Portman.

Zach Helm both wrote and will direct Emporium, a story about an eccentric toy shop owner (Hoffman) who meets a depressed young woman (Portman) and leaves her his store to lift her spirits. Helm is a newcomer with no Hollywood films to his name – yet – but Esquire magazine included them among their list of film's best and brightest last year. Helm also wrote Stranger Than Fiction, a comedy starring Hoffman and Will Ferrell that is now in post-production.

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium begins filming in March. No release date has been announced yet.
