Now he's turned his attentions to the high-stakes world of sports gambling as seen through the eyes of a bubbly young minx named Beth Raymer in the new trailer for "Lay the Favorite." Get More »

For awhile, we didn't think Joshua Jackson was coming back.
In the early 2000's, "Dawson's Creek" was ending, the "Mighty Ducks" franchise was all washed up and Wes Craven's botched werewolf movie "Cursed," came and went. Jackson was yet another young actor who would slowly fade into oblivion.
Or not.
When Jackson popped up on Fox's "Fringe," it was as if Amelia Earhart had just landed her plane. Where had he been!? The actor didn't waste time with reintroductions, kicking "Fringe" into high gear with his usual mixture of charm and sarcasm, reminding us why we were all big Pacey fans in the first place.
Now with his new adult gig solidified, Jackson is looking for new opportunities, and Variety believes he's found it. Get More »

And considering that some of the most beloved movies of the past decade have come straight off of the page -- "Harry Potter, "Twilight" and "The Lord of the Rings" just to name a few -- the marriage between books and film has never been stronger. Get More »

Willis, Zeta-Jones, & Timberlake All Bet On 'Lay the Favorite'
Columbia
There's a transcendent poetry to stories where characters use specific lingo, and what jargon-heavy profession has a slicker edge than sports gambling, where "dollar" means $100 dollars, and dime means $1,000 dollars?
Seems like the house, or in this case the movie house, is ready to collect a large vig with Stephen Frears' adaptation of Beth Raymer's gambling memoir "Lay the Favorite, Take the Dog."
Vulture has given us the hot tip that the Focus Features' bankrolled film is getting down on Bruce Willis in the lead, but hedging their bet with co-stars Catherine Zeta-Jones, Justin Timberlake, and "The Town"'s ultra hot Rebecca Hall. Get More »
