Variety is reporting Warner Bros. is interested in hiring Ben Affleck to direct the long-delayed Justice League. Knowing Affleck only directs movies in which he also stars I’m hoping WB will cast him as the film’s villain – Moonraper

Adapted from the Danish television show of the same name written and starring Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen, Klown is based on fictionalized versions of the two Danish comedians who keep putting themselves, and others, in uncomfortable situations.
Hvam stars as Frank, a mostly good if somewhat clueless guy who doesn’t really like kids and isn’t ready when he learns his girlfriend (Mia Lyhne) is pregnant. Knowing both the pregnancy and relationship are on shaky ground Frank comes up with a really horrible plan of kidnapping Mia’s12 year-old nephew Bo (Marcuz Jess Petersen) and taking him along on his canoeing trip with his best friend Casper (Casper Christensen).
What follows is a series of misadventures and bad decisions as Casper, out of the reach of his wife (Iben Hjejle), seeks out young women to sleep with while Frank causes about as much damage as good to the impressionable Bo over the next few days. Although Frank’s decision-making is circumspect, his heart is usually in the right place as he discovers that this father stuff may not be so bad.

The latest hour-long drama to cash in on the formula stars Rachael Leigh Cook as a FBI agent who taps a brilliant but schizophrenic professor of neuroscience (Eric McCormack) who often hallucinates people and events to help him work through complex puzzles into help solve her cases.
