Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) and Emma Roberts are in talks to star in coming-of-age drama/comedy It’s Kind of a Funny Story, The Hollywood Reporter reveals. Half Nelson‘s Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden are writing and directing the project, expected to shoot later this year. The film, based on Ned Vizzini’s novel, is about a teenage boy who ends up in the adult ward of a mental institution.

Controversial director Michael Moore says Capitalism: A Love Story could be his last documentary, according to the AP. “I’ve done this for 20 years. I started out by warning people about General Motors, and my whole career has been trying to say the emperor has no clothes here, and we better do something about it,” he said. “I’ve been having to sort of knock my head against the wall here for 20 years saying these things. … . What am I supposed to do at a certain point?” Moore, whose newest film opens Oct. 2, says he’s considering shifting into fictional, narrative film. “I’ve made a body of work of nonfiction that I’m very proud of, and like any filmmaker, I’m looking for different challenges, and things that will keep me interested and excited about what I’m doing.”

Tomas Alfredson, the director of critically acclaimed Swedish vampire story Let the Right One In, will now direct Nicole Kidman in The Danish Girl, Variety reports. Lucinda Coxon adapted the script from David Ebershoff’s novel about a Danish painter who, in 1931, became the first person to go through a sex-change operation to become a woman. Kidman plays the painter, but Charlize Theron, who had been attached to play the painter’s wife Gerda, has now left the project.

Variety reports that Steven Spielberg isn’t giving up on his long-planned Abraham Lincoln project, despite yesterday’s news that Robert Redford will direct his own Lincoln story, The Conspirator. “We are very happy that Redford will be doing this Lincoln movie,” Spielberg told Variety. “It is completely different from what our DreamWorks Lincoln movie will be and we believe that it will add to the commercial potential of our film. Lincoln as a subject is inexhaustible.” Tony Kushner’s script for Spielberg is said to focus on his anguish about the Civil War; Redford’s project is about a woman charged with conspiracy to kill the president.
