As hard as this is to believe, we're just one month away from our first birthday here at the new Movieline. It's been a whirlwind year of revealing interviews, gonzo festival coverage, zingy cultural criticism and penetrating insights into the power of Taylor Lautner's abs, and we all sincerely hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy bringing it you every day. But as we graduate into toddlerhood, we're beginning to feel growing pains: The time has come to expand our family and coverage. We're looking to fill several positions on the Movieline masthead.
What are we looking for?

Be the first -- and possibly the only -- person on your block to glean the hilarity on its way to cult oblivion. [Mann Glendale Exchange]

Movieline is privileged to introduce the first poster for Woody Allen's latest film You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, which Sony Pictures Classics will release on Sept. 22. In quintessential Allen style, it's a relatively straightforward affair with an alphabetically listed ensemble and one historic exception: It's the first Allen poster in decades not featuring the name of his late co-producer Charles H. Joffe, who died in 2008. Jack Rollins, meanwhile, is still holding it down. Click through for a glimpse.

Remember all that stuff Ryan Murphy said about concentrating on the Glee cast during season two and not the larger-than-life guest stars? Never mind! EW is reporting that comedy icon Carol Burnett has been tapped to play Sue Sylvester's Nazi-hunting mother in an October episode of the Fox hit. Expect scenery chewing and ear tugging. [EW]
For a film shoot that was loaded with enough sordid conduct to sustain two sexual harassment lawsuits, you would be right to think the poster for I'm Still Here might feature some crazed lunacy. Or at least a picture of Joaquin Phoenix getting crapped on. Alas, that isn't the case. But with a single headshot of the film's bearded star looking as dazed and confused as ever, Magnolia Pictures has probably gotten to the core of this faux-documentary better than any bodily function could. Click ahead to see the full poster.

Nicolas Cage just can't make his mind up about the new Joel Schumacher thriller Trespass. Originally set to star with Nicole Kidman as a husband and wife who turn the tables on their kidnappers, Cage then decided he'd rather play the lead kidnapper before ditching the project entirely as of yesterday. Now, like a wayward Amish youth with a Rumspringa hangover, Cage has returned to the film in his original role. We give it a week before he switches parts with Nicole Kidman. [Deadline]
"I'll admit that there are a few things I envy about Don Draper, but desultory sex in a sh*t-brown apartment with a hooker who smacks me in the face while my kids eat Thanksgiving dinner at their new Daddy's place isn't on the list." And with that, the battle over what viewers can learn from Mad Men's quality-of-life issues is engaged. Thanks as always, Katie Roiphe! [The Awl]
