Wow. We all knew that a film about the rescue of the trapped Chilean miners was totally inevitable, but who would have guessed it would take even less time than the rescue itself? Antonio Recio's The 33 of San Jose started shooting five days after the Miners' rescue and is currently being sold at the American Film Market. According to Recio, he and writers J J Barrios and Jacobo Bergareche began penning the script just days after news of the miners' plight broke.

We're just a few weeks away from the penultimate chapter of the Harry Potter film series being released, and there are oodles upon oodles of stories being written about the making the movies in the last ten years. Most of it is "oh didn't we have a grand time" nostalgia, but there's glimpse of frightening alternate universe in these articles: a universe where Steven Spielberg directed an animated Harry Potter movie, a movie that would combine books into one single feature. Yikes!
Jill Clayburgh, an Academy Award-nominated actress best remembered for her roles in An Unmarried Woman and Starting Over, died after a long battle with lymphatic cancer today at the age of 66 in her home in Connecticut. A veteran of stage, film and television, she could be seen in a variety of work, including Portnoy's Complaint, Semi-Tough, Running With Scissors, Ally McBeal and Nip/Tuck. Her last film role, playing Jake Gyllenhaal's mother in Love and Other Drugs, will be released in two weeks. [Deadline]
As director Marc Webb continues spinning Spider-Man's uh, web, more Spidey-riffic bombshells are dropping. It seems like former President Bartlett will be telling Peter Parker exactly what comes with great power, but love interest Mary Jane won't be saying anything at all.
For those of you that enjoyed the first part of the seduction tango between Kurt Hummel and his (maybe!) new boyfriend Blaine on Glee, here comes the money shot. Musically speaking, that is. A new 30 second snippet of their duet "Baby, It's Cold Outside" has leaked and it sounds perfectly lovely. Good job, Glee! Keep up the good, organic character beats, stay away from the stupid stunt casting, and you might just avoid a fate worse than Hiro Nakamura.
Well, Disney clearly feels that their new Tron flick will be a winner. Word is that they're planning a possible theme park attraction on the new movie, and now comes news that an animated Tron series scheduled for the summer of 2012 is on the books, and it's got some series talent attached to it.
Shaking off the spooky cobwebs of the last few weeks, the Friday box office crown went to the hydrocephalic head of Megamind, which had an opening night that shot it to number one. Hot on his baby-seal clad heels were Robert Downey, Jr. and Zach Galifianakis with a surprisingly strong number two. Finally, Tyler Perry's Madea-free For Colored Girls clocked in at number three. Your Friday box office is here.
There is no ritual more sacred, more hallowed, more happy-hour-craving than Movieline's Week in Review, which lands in your browser with all the sexy, staccato elegance of a starter pistol commencing your weekend.

· It won't be long until Glee starts debuting singles by pop artists, but for now we're treated to a slick rendition of Katy Perry's recent hit "Teenage Dream." Aw, look at Kurt eye his new crush. They've got the mutual dapperness of true soulmates. [Perez Hilton]
The last time Cameron Crowe made a movie, it was the 2005 disaster Elizabethtown, so it goes without saying that We Bought a Zoo is being positioned as his comeback project. The adaptation of Benjamin Mee's memoir (about a man who goes to England and buys a zoo) already has Matt Damon attached and now Deadline reports that Scarlett Johansson is in negotiations to appear as the female lead. Does this mean we can cross her off the list of possible Daisy Buchanan's? [Deadline]
James Bond themes, in all their schamaltzy bombast, are awesome. The Spy Who Loved Me's legacy would not be the same without "Nobody Does It Better," Live and Let Die's wouldn't be the same without Paul McCartney's title jam, and Goldeneye, the best Bond film of the '90s, would be a tinge less glamorous without Tina Turner's title ballad. But now that Goldeneye 007, the classic Nintendo 64 video game based on the 1995 film, is being remade for the Wii, the folks at Activision think the timeless jam deserves a second go-around with a new vocalist. Who'd they pick? And better yet, can you handle a cover version?
On the final Friday before his return to the television airwaves, Conan O'Brien has released another video to his online legion of fans -- this one, specifically about which celebrity will be the first guest on Conan. After narrowing the field down -- sorry, Justin Bieber and Pope Benedict -- the bearded late-night desk jockey has announced the three finalists: Jack Nicholson, the Sultan of Brunei and Arlene Wagner, curator of the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum. Who will it be?! Movieline spoke to Andy Richter and he confirmed the obvious.
