The problem is that studios change hands and films can lost in the shuffle. We may yet see some good delayed releases that were simply caught in the mix. Cabin in the Woods, the Red Dawn remake, and Margaret may yet see the light of day in the next year, and A Good Old Fashioned Orgy (shot in 2008) – which stars Jason Sudekis, Leslie Bibb, Tyler Labine, Will Forte, and Lucy Punch among others – will finally hit theaters September 2.

Black comedies are tricky, because you are usually following a main character who is a terrible human being. But when they work they become classics – like the more recent Bad Santa.

Though not as scathing as Bad Santa, Teacher is an amusing lark, with solid performances by the cast who keep the film moving. Find out more below…

The first trailer for the Cameron Diaz comedy Bad Teacher has hit the net. It debuted over on MySpace and it’s a red band version, which means some of the film’s raunchier material appears in the video. Besides Diaz, Bad Teacher stars Justin Timberlake, Jason Segel, and Lucy Punch. Those four sound like a hilarious combination on paper but can they pull it off on the big screen? Check out the trailer to find out…

Topher Grace just can’t stay out of the past can he? The man spent eight years in the seventies with “That ’70′s Show” and now he’s moving on to the eighties with the film Take Me Home Tonight. It’s very retro. There’s big hair, popped collars, and florescent colors being worn like there’s no tomorrow.

Lucy Punch has recently come onto the Hollywood scene with her outstanding comedic performances in Dinner for Schmucks and now she’s back as another young, sexy, obsessed and hysterical character — only this time she’s paired with Anthony Hopkins and being directed by none other than Woody Allen in his latest film You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. Originally cast in the role was Nicole Kidman, and though Lucy may not seem like an obvious replacement, once you’ve seen the film you won’t be able to imagine it any other way… especially with Kidman.
Not long ago we sat at a round-table interview with Lucy and talked to her about the amazing experience of shooting an Allen film with Hopkins. Check it out below…
