Director Chris Weitz is a happy man these days. His recently released New Moon set the box office on fire and broke records set by films from Harry Potter to The Dark Knight. Now he’s taking the break from the big budget hoopla and taking on The Gardener, a drama about a Mexican immigrant living in LA and trying to protect his son. The screenplay has been written by Eric Eason and production will begin in March or April 2010.

According to Natalie Portman in an interview with MTV, actress Kat Dennings will be another addition to the already impressive cast of the Marvel adaptation Thor. But Portman didn’t reveal what role Dennings will take on, but it might only be a small supporting role. Portman is set to play Thor’s human love interest Jane Foster, while his divine love interest will be played by actress Jaimie Alexander.

Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha director and Oscar winner Rob Marshall has been confirmed to replace Gore Verbinski and take the helm of Pirates of the Caribbean 4. A reader at AICN reports the following at a screening of Marsall’s film Nine:

I just saw the DGA screening of Rob Marshall’s latest movie, NINE tonight and stayed for the Q & A after, so I thought I’d write in to share my thoughts. First, let me just get the HUGE scoop out of the way: when asked about his next project (by Nora Ephron, who hosted the Q&A), he replied ‘y’know, it’s something that I was offered and never in the world thought I would do but then I was like ‘why not?’… I’m doing ‘Pirates of the Caribbean….”’ That’s right– Rob Marshall is directing the next installment of the ‘Pirates’ franchise. The only additional thing he mentioned about it was that he had a wonderful meeting with Johnny a little while ago and that they’re both excited to work together.

All we can do now is wait for Disney to make the official confirmation, and that should come soon if they’re going to begin production in 2010 as originally planned.
