As insane as it would be to see a movie where Nick Nolte chats with God, that's not quite the Arcadia he's getting involved in. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Nolte, Haley Bennett, and Carter Jenkins have signed on for a coming-of-age indie called Arcadia Lost. Bennett and Jenkins star as pretty unlucky step-siblings -- mom and dad die in a car crash on their first family trip, and while on their own "the stunned teens roam the Greek countryside and befriend an expatriate vagabond (Nolte) who leads them to a mysterious spiritual ceremony." So it's kinda god-like, but in a style more fitting to Nolte. If this is your cup of tea, check out THR for info on tracking the film through Facebook.

And then there's the sleek and tough Maggie Q. Variety tells us she's going to star in a new historical action pic directed by Tian ZhuangZhuang called The Warrior and the Wolf. Tang Wei was originally linked to the film, but since Lust, Caution got her in trouble with China, methinks they looked elsewhere. Warrior will tell the story of two warriors in ancient China, and is currently in production in the Xinjiang province.

What probably won't be going into production any time soon, if ever, is a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. In a discussion with MTV, Anne Hathaway said: "I'm really, really proud of Fox's decision not to pursue a sequel. When I did Bride Wars with them I asked what happened, and they said we can't make a story, and it's not worth it to damage the original film." That being said, she has wished for a decent story for a sequel, and would continue the franchise if it was right. If Fox hasn't come up with something worthwhile yet, they probably won't (kudos to the studio for not forcing the issue) ... but maybe thoughts of more Andy will lead Hathaway to a similar role elsewhere.

One last little bit: George Clooney might be the Lone Ranger? Really? Could you see Clooney and Depp together? Check AICN for more.

I imagine if she can deal with having one hell of an unfortunate name in the whole High School Musical series, Ashley Tisdale could take on a couple of aliens. Before she gears up for the third installment of the hugely popular HSM franchise as Sharpay Evans, The Hollywood Reporter says she'll fight off some other-worldly beings in 20th Century Fox's They Came From Upstairs. When I first told you about this project, Thor Freudenthal had nabbed himself the directorial chair for this feature. Unfortunately, now THR says that the adventure comedy will be helmed by John Schultz (Drive Me Crazy).

The premise: a group of teens are partying it up in their Maine vacation home when aliens invade -- via the home's upstairs. I presume she'll be fighting off the green things, grey things, or whatever color the aliens will end up being along with co-stars Robert Hoffman (Step Up 2 the Streets), Carter Jenkins (Keeping Up with the Steins), and Austin Butler (Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide). Rounding off the cast is Ashley Boettcher and Henri and Regan Young. Cautionary tale #9873547 -- don't party with fellow teens in a vacation home, or aliens will invade! Production will get underway in the ultra-Maine location of Auckland, New Zealand later this month, and when that wraps, Tisdale will help bring High School Musical to the big screen for the first time.
