'Balloon Boy': Dad's lawyer maintains innocence on 'Today' show
An attorney for Richard Heene appeared on NBC’s Today show this morning to say that his client is “absolutely” innocent of any crime. The lawyer, David Lane, emphasized that no charges have been filed thus far as a result of the temporary disappearance of Heene’s six-year-old son Falcon, which authorities have since alleged was a well-rehearsed hoax with potential criminal repercussions. Lane suggested that the Larimer County sherriff’s office has provided an incomplete or misleading timeline of these events to the public, though he declined to get into specifics; he also compared Heene to Richard Jewell, who was wrongly accused of bombing the 1996 Olympics. Pending further information from the police, he noted that Heene might be willing to turn himself in “to avoid public spectacle” and address any charges.

'Monster Squad' gets a new director
Warner Bros. has picked director Mike Mitchell (Shrek Forever After) to head up the latest incarnation of Monster Squad, a “long-gestating comedy-fantasy project,” according to Variety. Some version of the script has been in the system since 2000, when the studio bought Brian Lynch’s script Nightcrawlers, about the “adventures of an international coalition of kids whose job it is to combat a variety of monsters found under beds.” Since then, “the project went through numerous writers, including Michael Arndt and Audrey Wells,” according to the Hollywood Reporter, and in 2007, McG was on board to direct. The current script was written by Brad Copeland and is not a remake of the 1987 cult classic.

MPAA CEO to step down
CEO of the MPAA Dan Glickman says he’ll step down when his contract expires in September 2010, according to Politico. Glickman has held the post since September 2004, while his predecessor Jack Valenti headed the trade organization for 40 years. “The combination of a high salary and high-profile mingling with celebrities makes it one of Washington’s most coveted jobs,” says Politico, but it “poses serious challenges, including dealing with the competing agendas of the six movie studios.”
