Drew Barrymore and Justin Long starred opposite one another in the celeb-packed He’s Just Not That Into You, and have been known to smooch it up a bit behind the scenes in real life – so it’s a no brainer to see the two signing up to star together in another film, this time without the massive ensemble cast. (Heck, if you’re gonna make out off screen, may as well do it on screen and get paid … says the guy who has no idea what he’s talking about.)

The film, titled Going the Distance, is being billed as an "observational comedy" about one young couple "navigating their way through the perils of a long distance relationship …", so says Variety. Nanette Burstein will make her feature narrative directorial debut after helming documentaries like American Teen and The Kid Stays in the Picture. Seeing as Barrymore and Long have the off-screen chemistry going, that should carry over to the film … assuming there aren’t any nasty break-ups before production begins.

Sean Connery Complains That Latest Indiana Jones Film Was Too Long

You might remember how Sean Connery was asked to reprise his role as Indiana Jones’ father Henry Jones Sr. in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but turned it down due to his retirement – which, unfortunately, has kept the man off the big screen for quite awhile now. Well, MTV caught up with Connery who admitted to watching the latest Indiana Jones installment and offered up his one-line review of the film. How did he like it? “I thought it was rather good, but rather long.”

Fair enough. However, Mr. Connery, it is important to note that your Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, came in at a pretty long 123 minutes, while Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ended four minutes later at 127 minutes. That’s it – four minutes! So, c’mon, tell us what you really think…

Pussycat Dolls Remake 'Slumdog Millionaire'?

Well, not exactly. But the hot-to-trot Pussycat Dolls did record a cover of the Oscar-winning song Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire (now out on DVD), and with their spirited cover came a Slumdog-inspired music video, which in some ways recreates that final dance scene during the end credit roll.

 

Not so sure about the blatant cell phone promotion (is that an iPhone she’s playing with), but if you like the Pussycat Dolls and you like this song, then you’ll probably dig the new video quite a bit. Check it out below.

Do covers of popular movie songs take something away from the original and the film itself? Sound off below…
