New Walt Disney chief Rich Ross has put “Wedding Banned,” a romantic comedy to have starred Robin Williams, Anna Faris and Diane Keaton, into turnaround.

Mandeville Films, the production company behind the film, is free to shop it around town to other studios.

“Banned” tells the story of a long-divorced couple (Williams and Keaton) who kidnap their daughter (Faris) on her wedding day to prevent her from making the same mistakes they did. The parents rekindle their relationship as they elude cops and the angry groom.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, one factor in the decision was the poor showing of the Robin Williams/John Travolta comedy “Old Dogs,” which has grossed just $35 million since its November 25 opening.

I’ve added 308 captures of Anna from her interview on “It’s On with Alexa Chung” which happened in September to promote “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”. The interview was very cute and Anna was very funny!

You can see the captures by clicking on the thumbnails below…

Today, November 29th, is Anna’s 33rd birthday! I would love to wish Anna an amazing day today!

Feel free to leave your birthday messages in the “comments” section of this post.

“Scary Movie” actress Anna Faris is in negotiations to star as Robin Williams’ daughter in “Wedding Banned,” a Disney romantic comedy.

“Banned” revolves around a long-divorced couple who kidnap their daughter (Faris) on her wedding day to prevent her from making the same mistakes they did. The parents rekindle their relationship as they elude cops and the angry groom.

Williams is on board as the father; the mother has not been cast. The project has no director attached.

Faris recently signed to star with Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake in “Yogi Bear” for Warner Bros. She can be heard in Sony’s animated “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”

Universal Pictures has acquired “TMI,” a comic vehicle for Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris. Pic becomes one of the first purchases made by the new U regime of Adam Fogelson and Donna Langley.

Scripted by Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith and Marc Klein, the comic premise is that while honesty is the best policy for a relationship, “too much information” might not be the best thing.

Andrew Panay (“Old Dogs”) will produce with Jonathon Komack Martin, latter of whom partners with Reynolds in Dark Trick Films. Reynolds will be executive producer.

Fogelson and Langley were upped to the chairman and co-chair posts at U last month, replacing Marc Shmuger and David Linde (Daily Variety, Oct. 6). The shakeup came on the heels of a series of box office misfires for the studio.

Reynolds, who is coming off “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and “The Proposal,” next stars as the title character in the Martin Campbell-directed “Green Lantern.”

“TMI” is a possible candidate to follow that superhero effort.
