Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster (pictured) are in final negotiations to join Pandorum, a sci-fi thriller set aboard an abandoned pioneer space vessel, reports ComingSoon.net.
Quaid recently starred in the ensemble flick Smart People and can next be seen in The Express. He also recently completed Paramount’s G.I. Joe, and is currently shooting Legion for Screen Gems. Busy guy!
Foster - I became a huge fan with 3:10 to Yuma - is currently in production on The Messenger.
Developed at Constantin Film and Impact Pictures and written by Travis Milloy, Pandorum is a dark tale about two crewmen who wake up on their spacecraft, unaware of their mission or their identities. As they piece things together, the men make a harrowing discovery that threatens the survival of mankind.

Some people have all the fun! In this case, The View’s Sherri Shepherd had a little fun with Robert Downey, Jr. Oh, to be her for just those few seconds. Yes, my adoration for RDJ is showing, and I don’t care! He was on the daytime talk show talking up Iron Man, the smash-hit blockbuster in which he plays Tony Stark/Iron Man.

Blogs are a-buzzin’ with Transformers 2 casting news. At one point, Judd Apatow regular Jonah Hill was in talks to star as Shia LaBeouf’s sidekick in the movie (hmmm…nope, can’t see it).
But now Entertainment Weekly’s Hollywood Insider Blog notes, “Transformers 2 negotiations between Jonah Hill and DreamWorks have broken down, and the Superbad star is no longer expected to play a sidekick to Shia LaBeouf in the upcoming sequel.”
Instead, Hill might be featured in the upcoming Night at the Museum 2.
Director Michael Bay confirmed the reports on his official blog, saying, “No, we have stopped negotiating with Jonah, and Teresa Palmer was not considered for a role.”
While Palmer won’t be in the sequel, another Aussie blond beauty will be. Meissner Management lists their client Isabel Lucas (pictured) as having been cast in the role of Alice in Transformers 2.

The Sopranos team is moving on (sigh). James Gandolfini has signed for the BBC Film In the Loop. Edie Falco is doing a Showtime pilot. And now David Chase, creator of “The Sopranos,” has signed with Paramount Pictures to write, direct and produce his first feature film, an original drama.
Of course, there’s a connection (and not a mob connection…I don’t think anyway). Chase has a long-time relationship with Paramount Studios chairman Brad Grey, who was also his producing partner on “The Sopranos.”
“David is one of the great storytellers of our time, and his debut as a filmmaker is both highly anticipated and long overdue,” said Grey in a Paramount statement. “In truth, David has been creating cinematic-quality filmed drama for more than a decade — spanning nine seasons and 86 episodes of ‘The Sopranos.’ Having worked with David as a producer, I’m delighted to be with him again and to bring his unique vision to the big screen.”
It’s really true. The Sopranos is definitely feature-film quality stuff, and who knows, maybe we’ll see those folks again on the big screen sometime.

I’ve been loving Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Fox. Based on the Terminator movies, the TV series follows the adventures of Sarah and her son, John, in their quest to keep the robotic terminators from taking over the world.
I’m happy to report that despite the looming actor’s strike - which could happen by July - production is rolling on the latest Terminator movie, due in theaters May 22, 2009.

First, Indiana Jones. Now it looks like Dirty Harry may be returning to the big screen.
In March, Ain’t It Cool News reported a rumor that Gran Torino, Eastwood’s latest production for Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow, was indeed the sixth installment in the Dirty Harry series.
<SPOILER ALERT>
