Hit TV dramedy Ally McBeal will have a range of fresh faces when it returns for its new season next month. Regina Hall, Julianne Nicholson, James Marsden and Josh Hopkins will be making regular appearances while Robert Downey, Jr., Lucy Liu, Lisa Nicole Carson, Taye Diggs and James LeGros are out. Most of the changes were initiated by creator David E. Kelley, looking to rejuvenate Ally in its fifth season. Ally star Calista Flockhart says, "Sometimes characters can come up against a dead end, and writers don't know what to do with them any more. It's really sad to see people go. On the other hand, it's always nice to have fresh energy."

Keenen Ivory Wayans, whose Scary Movie 2 will be hitting American movie screens the 4th of July, only finished working on the film just over two weeks ago. The whole crew had to work round the clock to get the much- anticipated sequel to Scary Movie complete in time for its Independence Day release. Regina Hall, who reprises her role in the sequel, says, "Keenen was working non-stop doing post-production and shooting the movie at the same time. We worked longer hours and on weekends. It definitely wasn't you five-day-a-week shoot." The production schedule tightened considerably after Marlon Brando dropped out of the movie, due to bad health. Regina continues, "We had to take a little break to regroup, recast and rewrite - and everything that comes with that. It slowed us down a little." Brando was replaced by James Woods in his priest role. Regina says of Scary Movie 2, "It's definitely just as funny as the first one. It has as much edgy, raunchy humour. It'll be an R (adult-rated), definitely don't bring out the toddlers, but for a good time, you'll want to come and see it."
