BIGEckhart, Fishburne, and Lively have been added to the list of presenters for the 66th Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
They will be joining Drew Barrymore, Glenn Close, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ricky Gervais, Jake Gyllenhaal, Salma Hayek, Jennifer Lopez, Amy Poehler, and Seth Rogen, who have already been announced.
Steven Spielberg will be receiving a special tribute award at this awards ceremony.

The line-up of presenters for the next Golden Globe Awards show has been revealed. Salma Hayek, Jennifer Lopez, Amy Poehler and Seth Rogen, along with Simon Baker, Drew Barrymore and Sacha Baron Cohen have been picked to present the award categories and nominees.
The films The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Doubt and Frost/Nixon each earned 5 nominations. Steven Spielberg will be honoured with the Cecil B. DeMille award this year.
Unlike the Oscars, the Golden Globes also honours achievements in television and film. There is no main host, and dramatic films and comedies fall into separate categories. The awards are given by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
The gala will take place on January 11 and will air on the NBC network.
Seth Rogen said he would only accept the part in Ghostbusters 3 if he were impressed by the script.
Rogen, who was approached for a role along with actors Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, said that it’s difficult to imagine a good screenplay for the project.
As a fan of the original films, starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson, Rogen revealed that at first glance, it’s one of the worst ideas producers have ever had.
Recently, Bill Murray also agreed to resume his role, however, only if the script was just as comical.
Therefore, it remains to be seen if the story will be good enough to move forward with the third instalment.
The Hollywood Reporter states that actor Seth Rogen will be producing I’m With Cancer, as well as play a secondary role.
The comedy, written by Will Reiser, is an autobiograhical account of Reiser’s battle against cancer. The story follows a 25-year-old television producer who learns that he has the disease.
Rogen will be sharing the production job with his writing partner, Evan Goldberg. The two wrote Superbad and Pineapple Express, and also worked on The Green Hornet together.
We can next see Seth Rogen in the film Zack and Miri Make a Porno, opening in theatres on October 31.
After working together in the 2007 comedy Knocked Up, Seth Rogan and Jay Baruchel will reunite for the action comedy Jay and Seth Vs. The Apocalypse, reports Variety.
The project, which began as a joke on the Internet several months ago, has captured the attention of Mandate Pictures.
The screenplay was co-written by Roger and Evan Goldberg, who also worked on the script for Superbad. Shooting of Jay and Seth Vs. The Apocalypse should end in 2009.
Seth Rogan has had his work cut out for him. His upcoming films, the Pineapple Express comes out on August 8, and Zack and Miri Make a Porno hits theatres on October 31.
The trailer for the comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno is available on the Internet.
Seth Rogan (Superbad) and Elizabeth Banks (The 40 Year Old Virgin) will star in the upcoming film written and directed by Kevin Smith (Jersey Girl).
The comedy is about Zack (Rogen) and Miri (Banks), two old friends who have a purely platonic relationship and have financial issues. They decide to make a porno to make some cash, however, when the project gets started, the two friends find that the feelings they have for each other are more profound than they thought.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno will be in theatres on Halloween, October 31.

The film, directed by David Gordon Green, was written by the same duo behind Superbad, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Judd Apatow produced the project.
The story follows a marijuana user (Rogen) and a drug dealer (James Franco) who witness a murder committed by a police officer.
Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann were recruited by Judd Apatow to play in his upcoming comedy distributed by Universal Pictures.
The screenplay was also written by Apatow, and shooting will commence in the summer or fall, reported Variety.
Sandler and Apatow recently collaborated on the screenplay of the film Don’t Mess With the Zohan by Robert Smigel. The movie starring Sandler will be in theatres on June 6.
Apatow often works with the same actors. His wife, Mann, and Rogen appeared in his first two films, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up. Mann is also playing opposite Owen Wilson in Drillbit Taylor, co-written by Rogen and produced by Apatow. Paramount will be launching the comedy on March 21.
Before shooting this new comedy, Sandler will be filming the comedy Bedtime Stories for Disney.
The king of comedy and his co-star from the film The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Elizabeth Banks, will reunite for the Weinstein Co. and Dimension Films project. Zack & Miri Make a Porno will be directed by Kevin Smith.
The two stars will play Zack and Miri, two platonic friends who decide to make a pornography film to make some money. They soon learn that they may some romantic feelings for each other.
Filming is set to begin in January in Pittsburgh. The film marks the seventh collaboration between Kevin Smith and the Weinstein brothers, who began working together 13 years ago with Clerks.
Rogen, who stars in the film Knocked-Up, is currently in final negotiations to bring The Green Hornet to the big screen.
Rogen will be working with his partner, Evan Goldberg, on the project. The Green Hornet debuted on a Detroit radio station in 1936, and went on to become a comic book series. There was also a television series on ABC, in which Van Williams starred in the title role, while Bruce Lee played Kato, a martial arts expert.
The next film for Seth Rogen will be Superdad, which Rogen wrote with Goldberg.
