* Last month we learned that Chris Rock would be stepping behind the camera for the first time since 2007's I Think I Love My Wife. Not only would he direct, but Rock would pen the script and star in a story described as an "edgy comedy romance" set in the world of showbiz. While further details remain under wraps, we do know that Rosario Dawson, currently wowing audiences in Danny Boyle's Trance, will be taking on the female lead in Rock's film. Dawson will be seen next in the black and white and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. [Deadline]
* Former Hollywood "It" guy Cole Hauser (Paparazzi) has joined the star-studded cast of Transcendence, the directorial debut by Christopher Nolan's longtime cinematographer, Wally Pfister. Starring Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Kate Mara, and Cillian Murphy, the sci-fi story follows a scientist who creates a computer that develops a malevolent awareness. Hauser will play a military officer called in to save the day, so maybe this will be a much better role than he had recently in A Good Day to Die Hard. [THR]
