The guy who stole our hearts in movies like The Hangover and Due Date is coming back to the big screen, playing opposite John Lithgow and Will Farrell in “Dog Fight”.

Den of Geeks writes that Galifianakis and Farrell will play “two inept politicians battling for a seat in the North Carolina district election.”

The political dark comedy will also star Dexter’s John Lithgow but no word yet on what his role is all about. All we can assume is that it’ll be hilarious.

If you loved watching all three of those Austin Powers movies way back in the day, you may be pleased to hear the same director, Jay Roach, is behind “Dog Fight”.

Starring the one and only James Franco, the Planet of the Apes sequel ‘s release date has been bumped up – and not a moment too soon!

According to Perez Hilton, the new 20^th Century Fox film, Rise of the Apes, has been pushed up to an August 5^th release date after being bumped back to Thanksgiving weekend from its original June 24^th release date. Phew – that’s a lot of moving around!

20^th Century Fox is deeming the film their “last big event movie of the summer.” No pressure there!

Along Franco, some familiar faces that can be seen in the upcoming movie are John Lithgow and Freida Pinto, according to Obsessed with Film.

Perez reports, “The story will allegedly focus on Franco’s character in present-day San Francisco, as a scientist attempting to cure Alzheimer’s who inadvertently develops the intelligence in apes, that ultimately leads to the events of the other films.” Sounds pretty cool!

We can’t wait to see what this sequel has in store for us; we just hope that the shorter amount of time they have to finish it in won’t affect the quality of the movie! Will you be checking out this follow up to Planet of the Apes?
