For those of you paying attention, you know that our dear Jenna Fischer is set to co-star in the film BLADES OF GLORY with Will Ferrell and Jon Heder.  The plot of the movie?  Well, Wikipedia says:

At the 2002 World Figure Skating Championships, rival world-class men's singles skaters Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder)
disgraced their sport with an all-out brawl. Consequently, they were
both banned from the men's singles competition for the rest of their
lives. After three long, arduous years away from the sport they love,
they attempt to put aside their differences and team-up in an effort to
exploit a loophole in their suspension. It turns out that there is one
category in which they can both still compete: pairs figure skating.
Of course, that event is usually reserved for opposite-sex couples and
the duo is sure to find fierce competition from rivals far more
experienced at the art. Stranz (Will Arnett) and Fairchild (Amy Poehler), the uncompromisingly competitive reigning pairs champions, comprise one such team.

I mention this because the trailer recently hit Apple.com (today, in fact).  Check it out if you're so inclined.  Jenna plays someone called "Katie," who unfortunately doesn't appear in the trailer.  Pity.

Mr. Crossman, you looking forward to this one?

edit:

BTW, while you're there, check out HOT FUZZ, the latest from Simon Pegg & Nick Frost (Spaced, Shaun of the Dead)... it looks totally dawesome.

edit 2:

Kevin sent me a link to a shaky trailer on youtube for SMILEY FACE, a stoner comedy starring Anna Faris.  Why should anyone but Creed care?  Because a nearly unrecognizable John Krasinski also stars as Faris' "nerdy best friend."  Lord, what will the "Jammers" think?
