The third installment in the “Meet The Parents” franchise has been pushed by to Christmas 2010 to coincide with the previous two films release dates, in spite of the film already being completed.

Hopefully this setback won’t affect the anticipation for this film and will give any prepping that needs to be done a good chance to get finished.

Owen Wilson returned to his role of Kevin Rawley alongside friend Ben Stiller as Greg Focker and began filming last Summer.

The plot of Cars 2: The Race of Champions takes the automotive duo to Cars universe parallels of locations in Japan, Italy, Germany, France and England for competition against world class racers! During the course of their globe trotting, Mater is mistaken for a top spy named Finn McMissile, making for some great hijinks.

On ‘Community,’ Jack Black guest starred as Buddy, an annoying new character attempting to weasel his way into Jeff’s study group.

At first, Jeff and the crew deny Buddy access to their group, but later reluctantly agree, only to discover that he’s also been lobbying for membership in a rival “cool” Spanish study group headed by Owen Wilson.

Jenna Fischer will be playing the part of Owen’s wife in the upcoming film “Hall Pass” by the Farrelly Brothers. Fischer is best known for her role as Pam in the US version of The Office. She’ll be joining Jason Sudeikis alongside Owen for the upcoming comedy scheduled to be released in 2011.

To learn more about Jenna Fischer, visit her IMDB page.

Here is what the brothers had to say about the film in an interview:

“[The main characters are] married guys, and they’re faithful to their wives, but they always look at other women,” Peter explained. “[It gets] to the point where their wives get so annoyed that they say ‘We’ll give you a week. You can have sex with one other woman,’ just to let the guys realize it might not be such a picnic.”

The part of Wilson’s wife has not yet been cast. Wilson does already have a male co-star lined up: “Saturday Night Live” cast member Jason Sudeikis. The actor will play the best friend, who apparently also gets a “hall pass” for extramarital relations.

A little tidbit of information suggests that Owen will be working with the Farrelly brothers (There’s Something About Mary, Shallow Hal) on a film called “Hall Pass” scheduled to begin filming next month. The project is said to be about a “ho-hum hubby whose wife, looking to spice up their sex life, gives him a ‘pass’ to play the field for a week.”

I’ll provide more information as it comes across.

…in a radar dish.
