New Moon has found its werewolves, E! has found its late night muse. Cameron Diaz forges new territory, while Catherine O'Hara ought to look good toting a gun. Plus, Amanda Bynes news.

Sundance wouldn't be Sundance without an appearance or four by Sam Rockwell, whose superb sci-fi effort Moon features the actor playing opposite one of his most formidable co-stars to date: Himself.

Only because it's slim pickins' on the Hollywood newsfront today do we bring you this semi-precious gem of a casting update. Sam Rockwell, whose Choke was one of the few successful sales at Sundance Snoozefest 08, will star in Moon, a sci-fi flick about a guy stranded on the moon for three years. Though Rockwell only offered up deets on the film after repeated inquiries about his Hanksian beard, he did manage to let loose this promising detail. The director is one Duncan Jones, whose aliases include "former ad exec," "Zowie Bowie," and "David Bowie's son." Jones's first and last directorial effort? A 28-minute short movie called Whistle in 2002. Hope that grizzly bear look is worth it, Sam! [MTV Movies Blog]

One-upping the $10 million non-profit X Prize for commercial space travel, Google is offering $20 million to the first private enterprise that makes it to the moon. Of course, this is a Google venture, so the winner has to compete some secondary tasks to get the prize. Once they're done with the main bit of landing on the freaking moon, prize seekers must take video and walk some specified distances. Google offers bonus prizes for finding ice, spotting Apollo equipment, and surviving the lunar night. Great, the next lunar landing will play like an episode of Survivor.
