You are correct, but do you seriously not know who Bjork is?

'Virgin' star Carell is man for 'Dan'

Riding the success of his star turn in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," Steve Carell is set to play a widower in the romantic comedy "Dan in Real Life."

The Disney project centers on the father of three daughters, ages 10-17, who writes a parenting column for a local paper. While on a family reunion on the Jersey shore, he meets a woman he takes a liking to, but upon returning home, he finds out the woman is his brother's girlfriend. He then tries desperately not to fall in love with her while not breaking rules he has set up for himself and his daughters.

"It's about how hard it is to do the right thing but how you have to try anyway," producer Jon Shestack said. "We're very lucky to have Steve in it. We went to him two months ago, and since then his world has changed. Luckily, Peter and he formed a strong bond. Steve is a wonderful actor and a funny man."

The film will be directed by Peter Hedges, who last shot 2003's "Pieces of April."

Fox Cancels Apatow's 40-Year-Old Virgin

September 21, 2005 | Issue 41•38

LOS ANGELES—Executives at Fox TV canceled Judd Apatow's box-office hit The 40-Year-Old Virgin Monday. "We love Judd's work, but aging virgins aren't a demographic we're looking to target," Fox Entertainment President Peter Liguori said. "Maybe it will be a cult hit on DVD." Virgin joins Undeclared, Freaks And Geeks, The Ben Stiller Show, and several unaired TV pilots on the list of critically acclaimed but canceled Apatow projects. Fox TV executives said the cancellation will allow them to focus their efforts on Stacked, starring Pamela Anderson.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

I feel compelled to comment. Having not read any argument previous to the few posts before mine, I happily loved this movie. Not a film worthy of an all and out appraisal, the movie is better rendered to comment amongst peers. A gut reaction of laughs as valuable as reading A Confederacy of Dunces. (though I hope 40 Year Old doesn't win the equivalent of Pulitzer)

Universal has announced the DVD release of Steve Carrell's The 40-Year-Old Virgin, for 12/13 (SRP $29.98 ). There will be three versions available on DVD - an anamorphic widescreen unrated edition with 17 minutes of additional footage, and full frame versions of the theatrical cut and the unrated version (as with Romero's Land of the Dead, the theatrical cut will not be available in widescreen). Extras will include a gag reel, additional footage from the You Know How I Know You're Gay? scene, Line-o-Rama (featuring a look at the cast saying their lines in different ways) and more. The unrated edition will add additional deleted footage (under the label Andy's Fantasies) and My Dinner with Stormy (a featurette in which actor/co-producer Seth Rogen has dinner with porn star Stormy Daniels).

I thought it was already a little too long.  Seventeen more minutes may not be the best idea.
