We haven't posted one of these Speechless videos in awhile, but I came across Zach Braff's video today over at Deadline Hollywood and it made me laugh. It might not make you laugh; you might hate Zach Braff. Hate is a strong word, actually -- you might dislike the fellow. But it made me laugh. And I'm going to take a chance and hope at least three of you laugh as well. Actually, all I need is one other person to laugh and it'll be worth it. Even if 70 of you don't laugh, I'll feel good about that one person laughing. It will brighten up my day. In case you forgot, these videos were conceived of by writer-director George Hickenlooper and writer Alan Sereboff. Each vid features a SAG actor, and they're supposed to suport the concept that without writers, there would be no movies or TV shows or fun in the universe. So watch Braff's video up top, then head beyond the jump for another video and an extra special surprise!

Lindsay Lohan's grand plan to become the queen of the indies took another step towards fulfillment recently when she signed on to star in Speechless, an independent romantic comedy that will be her seventh film in a row made outside of the major studios. (Freaky Friday was apparently longer ago than we think. Which is sad, because it was cute, and she was adorable in it. How things change.)

In Speechless, which is about the zillionth Cyrano de Bergerac variation to be made into a movie, Lohan will star opposite Halle Berry-attacker Adrien Brody. Brody will play a shy man who, in order to find the nerve to speak at his friends wedding, "turns to a service that allows someone [else] -- played by Lohan -- to speak through him." Wait, what does that mean? Though Variety doesn't elaborate, and The Guided Man -- the sci-fi short story on which the movie is based (aside from Cyrano, I mean) -- is from the 1950s and seems to be out print, other summaries of the film mention "new technology," so it appears as if it's set at least a little bit into the future.

Brian Dannelly will direct, and the film is expected to start shooting later this year for a 2007 release.
