Oh hellz to the yes!

This sounds like it has A LOT of potential! Especially with a cast like this!

Olivia Wilde, Anna Kendrick, Ron Livingston, and Jake M. Johnson of New Girl have been cast in the indie improv comedy from director Joe Swanberg called Drinking Buddies!

According to reports, the film will center on the Twilight actress and Berger from Sex & The City, as their "fun and flirtatious friendship" goes "off the rails!"

No word yet on Olivia and Jake's characters, but given their already-established comedic chops, we're psyched to see how they do with a script that allows for some creative license with the dialogue!

What do U think?? Are U excited to check out Drinking Buddies??

Wow! Fox is seriously cleaning house!

The network has announced that FIVE of their shows - including Lie To Me, The Chicago Code, Traffic Light, Human Target, and Breaking In - have all been canceled!

However, FOUR have already been selected for a 2011-12 TV season pick-up, including the comedy The New Girl - which will star Zooey Deschanel and Jake M. Johnson and focus on the sexual politics of men and women - and I Hate My Teenage Daughter, a comedy about two women (Jaime Pressly and Katie Finneran) who were tormented as teens by mean girls. In the drama department, the Bones spin-off The Finder has also been picked up, as well as J.J. Abrams' Alcatraz!

Here's hoping that these all last longer than the shows they're replacing!
