Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, Casey Wilson and Lizzie Caplan are set to star in a feature film adaptation of Leslye Headland’s off-Broadway hit Bachelorette, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Headland has penned the screenplay and will direct. Production is currently underway in New York.

Bachelorette follows a group of twentysomething women who come together in a lavish hotel on the eve of their friend’s wedding. The girls however have always disliked the bride-to-be, who they’ve known since high school, and spend their drug and booze-fueled night ridiculing her, while partying with a pair of guys they meet outside the hotel.

Dunst (Spider-Man) will play the bride, Regan, with Caplan (TV’s Party Down, Mean Girls) and Fisher (Wedding Crashers) as strung-out roommates Gena and Katie. Wilson (TV’s Happy Endings, Saturday Night Live) will take on the role of the maid of honor, Becky. The cast also features James Marsden (Hairspray) as Trevor, Adam Scott (TV’s Parks and Recreation) as Clyde and Kyle Bornheimer (TV’s Perfect Couples) as Joe. (The play featured only two male roles, Jeff and Joe.)

“As Cool as I Am” is the story of Lucy Diamond, the teen daughter of self-centered parents who married when they were teens. Marsden and Danes play the parents. The role of Lucy has not yet been cast.

Proving that Russell Brand can successfully sell a family friendly movie, Hop, also starring former X-Men star, James Marsden, has taken the top spot at the US box office for a second week in a row. The film, which tells the story of a young Easter Bunny lost in the real world, took over $21 million this past weekend, a drop of 42.2% from it’s opening weekend but a win nonetheless.

Second place this weekend went to another Russell Brand movie, this time a remake of the Dudley Moore comedy, Arthur. Starring alongside Helen Mirren, Jennifer Garner, Greta Gerwig and Luis Guzmán, Arthur tells the story of an insulated, foppish and rather wealthy heir, having spent his life having things laid out for him, Arthur must finally stand up and fight for what he truly wants – true love (and a Batmobile). The film took $12.6 million for it’s opening weekend.

Third place went to Focus Features’ action thriller, Hanna. Starring Saoirse Ronan as a young girl, trained by her CIA father in the lethal arts of fighting and assassination, the film took just $12.3 million for it’s opening weekend and also stars Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett.

“Hop” (featuring the voice of outrageous jokester Russell Brand as an Easter Bunny who poops candy) had the strongest opening weekend of any movie released thus far in 2011. The holiday-themed kids’ movie enjoyed a $38.1 million opening, which is just a hair (or “hare”?) more than the $38 million debut of “Rango” five weeks ago.

Both flicks are rated PG. “Hop,” which co-stars James Marsden (“X-Men”) in the lead human role, earned the rating for some mildly crude humor, whereas “Rango,” featuring Johnny Depp voicing a cartoon lizard, has some crude humor, a bit of cowboy action and characters who smoke.

“Rango” remains the better reviewed of the two, with 89 percent of critics finding it worthwhile, according to Rotten Tomatoes, which collects reviews from critics. “Hop” sits at just 20 percent on the Tomatometer at press time. (“Rango” was produced by Paramount Pictures, which like MTV is a subsidiary of Viacom.)

The film adaptation of John Kaye’s novel The Dead Circus is about to get rolling, with producers eyeing a summer start date. The film stars James Marsden, Melissa Leo, Michael Shannon and Michael C. Hall and tells a fictious story based on the non-ficticious death of singer Bobby Fuller. Written by Adam Davenport and John Kaye, the film is set to mark the directorial debut of Davenport. Deadline reports that Palermo pictures wants to shoot the flick this summer.

Marsden is set to play Charles Manson, with Leo playing a Manson Family matriarch who comes out of hiding to give a few hints to a screenwriter trying to solve Fuller’s mysterious death (ruled a suicide, even though the singer was battered and had gasoline poured down his throat). Shannon and Hall will play Fuller’s managers. Hit the jump for a synopsis of the novel.

Here’s the synopsis for The Dead Circus:
