Director Sam Mendes, who also made ‘American Beauty’ and ‘Jarhead,’ is starting production on his new romantic comedy in Connecticut this week. The Universal project just added Jeff Daniels and Catherine O’Hara (photoshopped above) to the cast and is about a family trying to find the right place to start a family.

Other than the new cast members above, the movie will star John Krasinski (’The Office’) and Maya Rudolph (’Saturday Night Live’). No release date or year is currently set.

Just while the DVD is coming out, producer and director J.J. Abrams came to the conclusion you have to watch ‘Cloverfield’ at home. “The thing about this movie (probably more than any I think) is that it is better on DVD than in the theater,” Abrams told Reuters. “Because the movie is like a videotape, it lives on your TV. In many ways, it is supposed to be viewed on a (TV) monitor.”

Maybe they didn’t even expect it to do so well at the box office and just wanted to make their money back on the rentals and media sales. He does have a point though. A lot of reviews already pointed out this was the perfect rental and it will probably be rented for years to come.
