Variety says that Fox Atomic has acquired Accidentes, a pitch that Sacha Baron Cohen will produce with an eye toward starring in it as an ambulance-chasing personal injury lawyer.
The comedy will be written by Peter Baynham, who with Baron Cohen and others shared an Oscar nomination for scripting the 20th Century Fox comedy Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
The protagonist will be a lawyer of Latin descent who transforms from contingency attorney to hero of the working class when he helps an immigrant win a judgment against his wealthy employer after a landscaping mishap. He also becomes the enemy of L.A.'s power elite.

Michael Vartan and David Cross will play bitter tire store rivals in the comedy Demoted for Parallel Media's new genre arm Parallel Zide, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Vartan will play Rodney McAdams, a hotshot Treadline Tires sales associate who delights in tormenting his less-than-cool colleague, Ken (Cross). But when their boss suddenly dies, Ken is promoted and assigns Rodney to a secretarial job as payback, giving the male chauvinist a taste of his own medicine.
J.B. Rogers (American Pie 2) will direct from a screenplay by Dan Callahan. Warren Zide (Final Destination) will produce through Parallel Zide. Ryan Lewis is executive producing the feature, which begins production Sept. 2 in Michigan.
From the New York Times:
Neither Richard Roeper, near right, nor Roger Ebert, far right, will return to their nationally syndicated movie review show, "At the Movies With Ebert & Roeper," next season. In a statement Monday Mr. Ebert wrote: "After 33 years on the air, 23 of them with Disney, the studio has decided to take the program named 'Siskel & Ebert' and then 'Ebert & Roeper' in a new direction. I will no longer be associated with it." Also on Monday The Associated Press reported that after eight seasons, Mr. Roeper, a columnist for The Chicago Sun-Times, would leave the show. Mr. Roeper said in a statement that he and Disney-ABC Domestic Television had failed to reach an agreement on a contract extension. Mr. Roeper also said he planned to continue as a host of a movie review show elsewhere, but did not disclose details. His last appearance will be for the weekend of Aug. 16. Mr. Ebert has been on leave from "At the Movies" for the last two years because of health problems, but he said in his statement that the trademark for the program, which he began with the critic Gene Siskel in 1975 as "Sneak Previews" on PBS, "still belongs to me and Marlene Iglitzen, Gene’s widow, and the thumbs will return." A Disney spokesman wasn’t available for comment, The Associated Press said.
I noticed that Andrew Daly and Paul F. Tompkins either deleted or hid their Facebook profiles from the public and now exclusively use Facebook Comedian pages.
I have a comedian page already- anyone know how to nuke your normal profile like they did?

Sounds like a plan.
I wish your MySpace page was that easy to delete.
Hey! What have you got against my myspace page?
I've been meaning to tell you, your page is hard to read.
The fact that I've never been there and have no idea how to find it has made it especially difficult. I'm guessing you also have one of those terrible translucent layouts based on your defensiveness.
"Bear City" Feature Film Planned
"Harold" director T. Sean Shannon has revealed plans for a film adaptation of the Saturday Night Live shorts series "Bear City" which he directed.
Talking with Armstrong Interviews, he revealed that "I'm doing a Bear City movie. I've written one. Hopefully, I'm going to shoot it this fall in Chicago. In the movie, the bears kidnap Fred Willard and make him do voice-over."
He also confirms they're definitely going for a theatrical release with the film. Shannon shot fifteen short films in total, all of which can be found at BearBearCity.com.
The premise is that a biological attack on a town forces the humans underground, but also turns bears into sentient human-like beings who within two weeks are going around doing the daily lives that most humans do.

if he gets a theatrical run, hopefully the colbert report will have him on to debate the merits of a city inhabited by bears.
Hell yes. They should call it Burrgatory! Or not.
That accompanying photo is appropriately terrifying.
I can't stand how Variety uses words like skein and spesh.
This absolutely deserves its own thread, with confetti and a live band, but I think JPFC is supposed to make it.
According the UCB website (since I'm not in LA or NY, every now and again I like to look up UCB schedules instead of cutting myself) on Thursday, August the 7th, at 9:30pm, you can see...
YOU BET YOUR LIFE with Jimmy Pardo
Many Bennigan's restaurants in Chicago and across the country abruptly closed Tuesday after the company that owns the chain filed for bankruptcy.
Two quotes:
An American said this: "Wow," he said wide-eyed as he peeked into the empty restaurant.
A Canadian said this: "This is highly unusual," Gerald O'Boyle said as he stood outside the closed restaurant. "I just can't fathom it."
And Pete Seger speaks directly to the fat clogged hearts of all Bennigan's patrons:
