The Where The Wild Things Are director just got two lovely ladies vying for his flick!

Amy Adams and Samantha Morton are in talks to join the untilted Spike Jonze movie.

The cast already features Joaquin Phoenix and Carey Mulligan but much of the project is being kept mum and under wraps.

Rumors stated that it would a political satire written by Charlie Kaufman. Now, others are saying it's a rom-com written by Jonze about a man that falls in love with a Siri like voice.

Strange.

We're interested to see where this cast and project goes!

Nice to see Joaquin back to his normal, not-crazy self, isn't it?

Check out the photos (above, and below) of Marion Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix shooting Untitled James Gray Project together in NYC on Friday!

We haven't heard much about this movie, but we'll definitely be curious to see the onscreen chemistry between these two.

P.S. Is that Scientology movie still happening, Joaquin? Been a while since we've heard anything about that!

Wow.

River Phoenix's final film Dark Blood never saw the light of day, but now Dutch film director George Sluizer has announced that he's going to finish it for release in 2012.

Sluizer has already re-edited original footage from the 1993 drama film, and he believes that it can be ready for release next year with a few adjustments, as well as the addition of voice over…possibly by River's brother Joaquin Phoenix.

Here's how River's final film has been described:

Zac Efron was spotted filming his latest untitled project in a racing uniform and lookin' FI-I-NE!

DAMN! Has he grown up or what!?!

It's like he's channeling James Dean and Joaquin Phoenix at the same time. Minus the crazy…

They should get Tom Cruise next! He WAS in PT Anderson's film Magnolia. LOLz.

Okay, so Tom is probs not going to do this film or any film with Paul Thomas Anderson ever again, but we're pleased to report that Amy Adams is set to star in PTA's Scientology film!

Adams will star as the wife of Philip Seymour Hoffman's character, who has been described as "a man who returns from witnessing the horrors of WWII, and in an attempt to find himself, he forms a belief system that catches on in the 1950s."

Joaquin Phoenix has also been attached to the film as Hoffman's "right-hand man." Other actors in talks for the film include The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo's Lena Endra and Laura Dern.

As we said before, this sounds like a very inneresting film, and we're excited to see Amy Adams on board! We know she'll be wonderful!

Are U excited to for PT Anderson's Scientology film? Do U think Amy is a good fit for her role?

Joaquin Phoenix may star in a film about a religion crazier than his career!

The actor-turned-rapper-turned-fake-documentary-subject-turned-bearded-homeless-man-turned-actor again is in talks to star in director Paul Thomas Anderson's next drama that’s loosely based on the founding of Scientology.

The film, referred to as The Master — although officially untitled — focuses on the story of a charismatic leader named Lancaster Dodd who creates a new religion in the 1950s.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman is said to be attached to play Dodd, while Phoenix may potentially play his main disciple who becomes Dodd's closest follower, then breaks away from him later in the story.

Jeremy Renner was attached to star, but dropped out after being threatened by Tom Cruise on the set of MI4 it appeared that the project had stalled.

Sounds like an inneresting story and a great role for Phoenix to flex his acting muscles once again.

Would U go see this film if it hits theaters?

Back in September, Joaquin Phoenix was ALL over the news, until we learned that his "documentary" I'm Still Here was fake and then nobody went to see it.

For those of you out there who haven't had a chance to check out Joaquin's "doc" on Instant Netflix, you MAY get another chance to see Phoenix return to real acting in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

Joaquin is up for the role of Honest Abe's mentor in director Timur Bekmambetov's film.

We think this would be a great move for Joaquin!

Vampire killing is always a solid way to jump start someone's career again except for Wesley Snipes.

Would U like to see Joaquin Phoenix show the 16th President how to kill vampires?
