Berlin -- Richard Loncraine's "My One and Only," a '50s-era comedy starring Renee Zellweger and Kevin Bacon, was squeezed into the competition lineup for this year's Berlin International Film Festival, barely a week before the event kicks off.
Zellweger plays a glamorous single mom on the hunt for a rich man to foot the bill for her and her sons' lifestyle. Produced by Merv Griffith Entertainment and Ray Gun Prods., "My One and Only" will have its world premiere in Berlin. Essential Entertainment is handling international sales.
Berlin also added Lone Scherfig's Sundance favorite "An Education" with Peter Sarsgaard, Alfred Molina and Emma Thompson and Davis Guggenheim's music documentary "It Might Get Loud" for its Berlinale Special Galas, ensuring the films will get the red carpet treatment without any of the pressure of competition.

Berlin -- Drink, drugs, guns and prostitution: Judging by the subject matter of the selected films, the Berlin International Film Festival's children and youth sidebar Generation has come of age.
Brit drama "Cherrybomb," from Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn stars "Harry Potter" alumnus Rupert Grint as a teenager out for a wild weekend of stealing and substance abuse.

Chinese feature "Lala's Gun" by Ning Jingwu is a coming-of-age story centering on a boy's journey to deliver a gun to his father. And "My Suicide" by U.S. director David Lee Miller tells the story of a teen romance between a geek and the most beautiful, but twisted, girl in school.
But the initial lineup for Generation 2009, announced Wednesday,...
