Coming on the heels of news that NBC’s 30 Rock will be returning for a 13-episode final season next year, Alec Baldwin appears to be filling his hiatus spots with a couple of projects with familiar friends.  First up, Deadline reports that Baldwin will re-team with Woody Allen on the writer/director’s next untitled project.  Baldwin stars in Allen’s latest film, To Rome with Love, and apparently Allen took a liking to the actor as he’s decided to include him in his next feature.  After spending the past few years shooting abroad, the untitled film is set to shoot in San Francisco and New York this year.

Sally Hawkins (Happy Go-Lucky) is in talks to star as one of two female leads in the dramedy, with Cate Blanchett and Bradley Cooper apparently eyeing other roles in the pic.  Hit the jump for news concerning Baldwin re-teaming with Russell Brand.

If you want strong, quiet dignity with a voice so reassuring that you want it for every audiobook ever made, you call Morgan Freeman.  That’s why him shouting “Somebody kill THIS motherfucker!” in “Wanted” was one of the best movie moments of 2008.  Watching Freeman subvert his image has great comedic potential and it looks like Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge’s script, “Old Dirty Man” may do just that.  Hit the jump for more details.
