The word is getting out and the stars are responding. It seems like everyone in Hollwood wants to land themselves a part in The 25th Hour. And why wouldn't they? The Edward Norton starrer is being helmed by Spike Lee, his first movie in three years. But more importantly, the storyline fits both actor and director like a glove. A young enjoys his last day of freedom before beginning his seven year jail term for drug dealing. Over the course of the 24 hours, he gets a new appreciation of life and his role in it, but is his realization too late?

The latest stars to be given an invite to the show include Philip Seymour Hoffman, Brittany Murphy and Rosario Dawson.
