After a five-year hiatus from the big screen, Chris Tucker eased his way back into Hollywood with a well-received supporting turn in David O. Russell's "Silver Linings Playbook." Now Tucker is ready to return to leading roles, as he has signed on to star in Relativity Media's comedy "Second Honeymoon."

Phil Joanou ("Gridiron Gang") will direct the movie and rewrite the script by Peter Gaulke and Kevin Heffernan.

Story follows a married couple who return to Antigua on their second honeymoon in an effort to spice things up. However, the legacy they left ten years ago comes back to haunt both of them, and before they know it, the trip is less about trying to reconnect with their younger, wilder selves and more about trying to get off the island alive.

Oscar winner Sandra Bullock is in early discussions to play Miss Hannigan in Sony and Overbrook Entertainment's remake of "Annie,"'

Hannigan, of course, is the mean woman who runs the orphanage where Annie and her friends live. Carol Burnett played the role in the original 1982 film, and Sony has sought to cast an actress with comedic chops and international appeal.

DreamWorks Animation shares are up more than 9% pre-market while Netflix is up more than 5% after striking what it calls its largest ever original content deal. The studio will produce at least 300 hours of programming exclusively for Netflix that will run across its global markets over several years. DWA says that makes this “a cornerstone of a major initiative” to “greatly expand its television production and distribution worldwide.” The shows will be “inspired by” DWA characters as well as ones from the Classic Media library it bought last year. The first series in this deal will air in 2014. (The companies had previously announced that DWA will produce an animated series for Netflix, Turbo F.A.S.T, that will be available in December.) Although the companies are short on details, the news reassures investors that Netflix and DWA can carry on nicely after each allowed carriage deals with Viacom to lapse. Netflix should have an ample supply of children’s programming even without contributions from Nickelodeon. Netflix says it wants to focus on shows it can offer exclusively. Although it continues to negotiate with Viacom, the entertainment giant recently agreed to let Amazon stream several hit shows from channels including Nickelodeon and MTV. Meanwhile DWA has clarified its TV production strategy, which had been a question after it decided to let Fox take over the film distribution chores previously handled by Viacom’s Paramount. The new deal with Netflix should benefit DWA by keeping its “film franchises relevant/front of mind for audiences in between movies,”
