Apatow's new movie, Funny People, is the one he hopes will turn him from a mass producer of comedies into a filmmaker. It has a tragic premise: Sandler plays a lonely, selfish comedian who has received a terminal-disease diagnosis.

The Europeans have yet to reopen communication with Tehran in the aftermath of the June 12 presidential election and the ensuing crackdown.
