Christoph Waltz has got a new gig. The actor has just joined Stephen Gaghan’s action thriller Candy Store in a role opposite Robert De Niro.

Gaghan, whose credits also include Syriana, wrote the script for this one as well.

The supporting cast is pretty hefty with Amanda Seyfried, Katherine Heigl, Topher Grace, and Robin Williams.

This film is a boxing movie from Tommy Boy director Peter Segal meaning this is a comedy. While the world is saturated with dramatic turns on the sub-genre, there lacks a comedic take on the sport which will be provided by Entourage scribe Doug Ellin. That is enough to get many excited about Grudge Match in itself, but seeing how this will pair the two actors who helped define such movies, the feature is being regarded as more than a subtle footnote on one’s IMDB profile. As for how this fits in the grand scheme of De Niro’s career, this movie will join two comedies already on the actor’s table, Last Vegas and The Comedian. The former has been talked about quite frequently in the press as of late because the effort comes from National Treasure director Jon Turtletaub and sets the actor alongside Morgan Freeman and Michael Douglas in a ‘Hangover with old people’-type bachelor party film. The Comedian appears to be just as interesting though as De Niro will be taking direction from Sean Penn.

Robert De Niro, a notoriously tough interviewee, was on The Tonight Show last night. Having been disappointed by his previous appearances, there was a little bit less hype behind this one especially considering how his career has fizzled out in recent years. Not to worry though as he still is a living legend who happens to be up for an Academy Award this year for his supporting role in Silver Linings Playbook. He may not win but there is a sense of normalcy in Hollywood as the Raging Bull star has not seen such recognition in decades. Hit the jump for the Leno appearance. 
Remember that Robert De Niro/Matt Damon movie about the birth of the CIA?

The first theatrical trailer has arrived for the Justin Zackhman-directed comedy The Big Wedding. This film is about a long-divorced couple played by Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton who pretend to still be married for the sake of a family wedding.

The legendary actor has continued to add to his resume in recent months with a slew of projects ranging from small to big, so we are not exactly surprised that he is now officially in negotiations to join Grudge Match alongside Sylvester Stallone.

You may notice that rather than the typical one-on-one sit-down it is a group effort this time around.
