In Mira Nair's latest film, Amelia, a biopic about pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart, Joe Anderson plays Wilmer "Bill" Stultz, the pilot who helmed the first transatlantic crossing with a female passenger-Earhart-in 1928, despite his belief that a woman's place was not in the cockpit. Anderson, though, had no such qualms about flying alongside Hilary Swank, who plays Earhart in the film, as the two actors reenacted the 20-plus-hour, near-freezing flight. "Most of the time, we were sweating our asses off in leather jumpsuits, pretending to be cold," says the 27-year-old British-born Anderson, who drew attention a couple of years ago for his performances in a pair of choice indies about rock bands: Julie Taymor's valentine to the Beatles, Across the Universe, and Anton Corbijn's ode to Joy Division, Control. In addition to Amelia, Anderson recently completed Rogue's Gallery, a political satire produced by Richard Kelly, as well as The Crazies,

Just last week, Marshall Fine wrote an open letter to Zach Galifianakis that echoed what a lot of his long-time fans are probably thinking as The Hangover crosses the $200m mark. Basically: "Zach, please don't screw this up." Now the Hollywood Reporter has news that the comic is circling three different projects at Warner Brothers (in addition to the potential Hangover sequel), two of which don't sound particularly compelling. As Galifianakis becomes the latest unlikely superstar, what's his next move?
First off, his next move is already made -- as we've reported, he's co-starring in the HBO series Bored to Death opposite Jason Schwartzman. He's in Youth in Revolt, Rogue's Gallery and a couple other projects that are near completion.
