You can bring home Ryan Reynolds, Abigail Breslin and a cast of others home on DVD this June. Definitely, Maybe is coming to DVD on June 24. The disc will be priced at $29.98 SRP. The film stars Ryan Reynolds, Abigail Breslin, Isla Fisher, Derek Luke, Elizabeth Banks and Rachel Weisz.
Ryan Reynolds stars as Will Hayes, a 30-something Manhattan dad in the midst of a divorce when his 10-year-old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love.
Will’s story begins in 1992, as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who moves to New York from Wisconsin in order to work on the presidential campaign. For Maya, Will relives his past as an idealistic young man learning the ins and outs of big city politics, and recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women.
Will hopelessly attempts a gentler version of his story for his daughter and changes the names so Maya has to guess who is the woman her father finally married. Is her mother Will’s college sweetheart, the dependable girl next door Emily (Elizabeth Banks)? Is she his longtime best friend and confidante, the apolitical April (Isla Fisher)? Or is she the free-spirited but ambitious journalist Summer (Rachel Weisz)?
As Maya puts together the pieces of her dad’s romantic puzzle, she begins to understand that love is not so simple or easy. And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps him to understand that it’s definitely never too late to go back…and maybe even possible to find a happy ending.

Studio executives hope they’ve trained their audience well as the season of summer blockbusters arrives.
From May through mid-August, Hollywood will bank on the idea that there is at least one movie every week _ and sometimes two _ that you simply must see.
Summer features such box-office staples as Will Smith, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller and Jack Black, and brings back beloved characters such as Indiana Jones, Batman, Speed Racer, Carrie and her “Sex and the City” gal pals, the “Narnia” kids, the Incredible Hulk and two very different agent couples: paranormal troupers Mulder and Scully and comic spies Maxwell Smart and Agent 99.
A look at the lineup:
JULY 11: Brendan Fraser finally offers scientific proof that there is an albino dinosaur at the Earth’s core _ and he does it in 3-D.
“Journey to the Center of the Earth” is a modern twist on Jules Verne’s classic tale presented entirely in three-dimensional digital video that practically sets the characters and effects in the audience’s lap.
Gimmicky old 3-D films “made the brain and eyeballs do calisthenics. Frankly, it made you feel kind of queasy and ill,” Fraser said. “This allows you to live in the environment that the actors inhabit.”
The weekend’s other big name, Eddie Murphy, gets to inhabit his own weird environment _ himself _ in the comedy “Meet Dave.”
Murphy stars as the leader of a group of tiny aliens scouting Earth because their own race is endangered. They blend in with humanity by tooling about in a ship that looks just like Eddie Murphy.
“He’s robotic and not quite in control of his form, his human form,” said co-star Elizabeth Banks. “Eddie’s performance, he has a lot of naivete about the world around him. He comes off as being extremely strange and odd, and that naivete translates very nicely into charm.”

Elizabeth Banks is in final talks to portray First Lady Laura Bush in Oliver Stone’s George W. Bush biopic, ”W”
Elizabeth Banks (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Spider-Man) is in final negotiations to play First Lady Laura Bush in director Oliver Stone’s George W. Bush biopic, W. Josh Brolin is already on board to play Bush. Stone, who wrote the screenplay with his Wall Street co-writer Stanley Weiser, has been openly critical of Bush’s invasion of Iraq, but he has said the biopic will present a fair and accurate portrait, focused on things like his relationship with his father, President George H.W. Bush, his wild younger days, and his conversion to Christianity. Stone was quoted in Variety last January as saying, ”People have turned my political ideas into a cliche, but that is superficial. I’m a dramatist who is interested in people, and I have empathy for Bush as a human being, much the same as I did for Castro, Nixon, Jim Morrison, Jim Garrison, and Alexander the Great.” Shooting on W is scheduled to start in late April. Banks just finished shooting on Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno. She next appears in the Eddie Murphy comedy Meet Dave and in Bill with Aaron Eckhart and Jessica Alba.
