The Playlist report that after Baruchel (How To Train Your Dragon) told MTV in the vaguest of terms that a “bona fide American movie star” would appear in his upcoming hockey comedy, Goldberg unambiguously announced that “We’re hoping that Seann William Scott (American Pie) will be in the movie.”

Should William Scott commit to the project, he will have two competing hockey comedy’s vying for audience’s attention. Hit Somebody, Kevin Smith’s upcoming hockey comedy, already has Scott attached to star.

Although no specific release date has officially been announced for Goon, Goldberg has stated that the movie is running full-steam ahead, Goldberg currently co-scripting with Baruchel due to the former’s busy schedule. Michael Dowse (It’s All Gone Pete Tong), meanwhile, is currently attached to direct.

While each year sees its fair share of cinematic déjà vu (Streetdance 3D/ Step Up 3), there may well be enough room in 2011 for two hockey comedies, particularly after Baruchel’s winning voice-work on Dragon and miraculous salvaging of She’s Out Of My League.

That said, with The Sorcerors Apprentice on the horizon, such faith might quickly prove misplaced.

20th Century Fox and Blue Sky have great confidence in the prehistoric animation, so much so that there’s news this morning that Ice Age 4 is on its way.

Subtitled Continental Drift, this film has a release date of Summer 2012 so it will sit nicely alongside the other projected releases for Batman 3 and the SpiderMan reboot.

Variety shouted this one out, and there are no other details at present, but if it can repeat the huge box office return of the third film then this won’t be the last time we see Scratte, Ellie, Diego and Sid.

Cop Out also stars Tracy Morgan, Seann William Scott, Rashida Jones, Kevin Pollak and is directed by Kevin Smith. It’s set for release 16th April and we’ll hopefully get a review of it soon for you.

Synopsis: Two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card find themselves up against a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed gangster. Jimmy (Bruce Willis) is the veteran detective whose missing collectible is his only hope to pay for his daughter’s upcoming wedding, and Paul (Tracy Morgan) is his “partner-against-crime” whose preoccupation with his wife’s alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball.

When not railing against the airline industry on Twitter Kevin Smith has a new film coming out, a buddy movie previously known as A Couple of Dicks, now retitled Cop Out, and there’s a new clip on the internets today.

There’s been a great theatrical trailer (and its hilarious red band version) for the Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan comedy, and the new clip gives us an excellent look at the smart, foul mouthed hilarity that only Smith can deliver.

It involves Willis and Morgan trading jokes with an arrested felon (Seann William Scott) as it acts as a great teaser to the balls out wit that is sure to permeate the film.

MovieWeb had the goods on show first, and the clip is embedded below, working people may not wish to play this one out loud while the boss is hovering…

Cop Out also stars Tracy Morgan, Seann William Scott, Rashida Jones, Kevin Pollak and is directed by Kevin Smith. It’s set for release 26th February and we’ll hopefully get a review of it soon for you.

Remember this is red band so you have to be 17 to watch it.

When the film was released earlier in the year we reviewed it here, and it was a positive review. The film’s cast has a great hold on the characters and the visual fizz and momentum makes for an eye popping experience. It’s a wild ride that I found a lot to like, there was charm and the new characters and locations capture the essence of what makes Ice Age an enjoyable series. There are a few too many Flintstones lite anachronisms for my liking but there’s enough here to keep children of all ages happy.

The Blu-ray is really where this film shines – plainly put: This film looks incredible, even for Blu-ray standards, from the wide open landscapes and misty, ghostly caverns down to the intricate character models – the clarity of detail and colour is amazing – this is one to show off the new player.

The special features are the typical mix between the making of docs, abandoned scenes and cast interviews, the full listing is below and there’s so much to enjoy. The Blu-ray is bundled with a DVD copy and a digital version to watch ‘on the go’.

It’s a shot in the arm for the Ice Age series and with the digital acumen of Blue Sky Studios ever increasing it won’t be too long before the series gets a fourth installment.

To celebrate the launch of Ice Age 3 on Blu-ray and DVD 20th Century Fox enlisted the help of world famous street painter Edgar Muller to create a record breaking anamorphic street scene featuring the Ice Age characters – check it out below.
