Although it may seem like Robin Williams (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9112#) has been relatively quiet since 2003 when he appeared in three movies--he starred in the low-key indie thriller (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9112#) movies ("]The Final Cut[/url] last fall--he's back with a vengeance doing a lot of different types of roles, including his long awaited return to comedy. Besides providing a primary voice for Fox's hit animated comedy [url="http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=5095), you're on the radar constantly. This way you're outside and you can come in."
Despite having his song cancelled by the censors, Williams was still a hit at the last Oscars ceremony, but he said that he'd never want to host. "I'm their worst nightmare. They literally had me one year on a seven-second delay," he remembered. "The one year I was just presenting and Gregory Peck said (doing a Gregory Peck impression), "You're not going to grab your p*nis. I hope you don't. It's a big night." There are people who can do it and obviously do it wonderfully, but it's a tough gig. The people who've done it start preparing three months in advance. It's a whole other game to host it, because after the first ten minutes, people get pissed. The number of losers dramatically increases, and they do have an open bar, unlike the Golden Globes. They have offered, but no, I would never host. Wrong person."
In the meantime, House of D (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=5582), directed by David Duchovny, opens in New York and Los Angeles on Friday and elsewhere, later in April. (We'll have more with Williams, Duchovny and the cast later this week.) Happy Feet (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=8509) will open on November 17, just in time for Thanksgiving.
