We’ve got news about the host of the MTV Movie Awards, an awesome-but-fake movie poster for the “Community” show-within-a-show “Inspector Spacetime,” a “Dr. Who” movie, a TV series based on the DiCaprio film The Beach, some 90s stars playing themselves on “Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23,” now-famous actors in movies you saw before they were famous, and a “Breaking Bad” interview. Get the details on all of these projects below!

After starring in the surprisingly successful Think Like A Man earlier this year, comedian Kevin Hart continues his slow rise to megastardom. Next stop? Hosting the 2012 MTV Movie Awards.

“Community” fans, you may have just found your new desktop background. This fanmade Inspector Spacetime fake movie poster earned the support of series creator Dan Harmon, who shared it with his followers and made all of us wish that The Inspector and Constable Reggie could zip through the space time continuum and onto the big screen.

Speaking of “Dr. Who” – well, sort of – writers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (“Dr. Who” and “Sherlock”) are putting together a movie called An Adventure In Space And Time to celebrate the series 50th Anniversary. The 90-minute movie will look back on the creation of one of science fiction’s longest-running shows and its evolution over the years. But I bet fans already want to jump in their own time-travelling telephone booths and jump ahead to next year, because that’s when this will air on the BBC.

Long before he won an Oscar for directing Slumdog Millionaire or tackled the Opening Ceremonies for the 2012 Olympics, Danny Boyle directed a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio called The Beach. It’s about a kid who travels to a peaceful island to live a perfect life in a utopian society, but he soon discovers things aren’t as easy as they seem. It’s not one of Leo’s best films, but apparently Fox thinks it’s good enough to turn into a television series. We’ll see how long this one lasts, but as long as it’s not on CBS or NBC, I think it has a chance to survive.

James Van Der Beek is tearing it up by pulling a NPH by playing a ridiculous version of himself on “Don’t Trust The B—- in Apartment 23,” and it appears that a quasi-”Dawson’s Creek” reunion could on the docket for the show’s second season premiere. Alongside those cast members, though, fellow 90s stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack from “Saved by the Bell”) and Frankie Muniz (Malcom from “Malcolm in the Middle”) are coming on to guest star as themselves. This should be fun.

And speaking of “Breaking Bad” – I love these easy segues – this past Sunday’s episode, entitled “Fifty-One” in honor of Walter White’s fifty-first birthday, was directed by acclaimed film director Rian Johnson. You may have seen some of his films, like Brick or The Brothers Bloom, and he’s got the Joseph Gordon-Levitt/Bruce Willis sci-fi film Looper coming out later this year. IndieWire had a chance to talk with him about what it was like to direct “Breaking Bad” (he did a S3 episode as well), and how “directing Walter White is surreal a level that directing a movie will never be.”
