Sean Hayes Is Larry in THE THREE STOOGES

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: April 4th, 2011

To cast the role of Larry in The Three Stooges, the Farrelly brothers cycled through Sean Penn, Paul Giamatti, Andy Samberg, and most recently James Marsden.  In the end, the slapstick-heavy role will go to Emmy winner and wild gesticulator Sean Hayes (Will & Grace).  Hayes is the second official Stooge, following the hiring of Will Sasso ($h*! My Dad Says) to play Curly.  Hank Azaria (Love and Other Drugs) was the latest actor to be mentioned as the frontrunner to portray ringleader Moe, but Variety’s report lists no contenders it mentions that the role is up for grabs.
Hit the jump for more on the format and tone of the Stooges remake.



First 15 Minutes of HBO's "Game of Thrones"

Posted: April 4th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
HBO has unveiled fifteen minutes of footage from their upcoming "Game of Thrones" fantasy series, based on the novels by George RR Martin, which is set to premiere on April 17th at 9pm. Check out the preview below.

Plot: Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords, and honest men... all will play the "Game of Thrones."

The new series stars Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage, and Lena Headey.

Check Out Colin Farrell's Awful Combover In First Images From Horrible Bosses

published: 2011-04-04 20:57:35 Author: Katey Rich
At Cinema Con last week Warner Bros. debuted the first trailer for Horrible Bosses, their summer comedy that isn't The Hangover Part II and may turn out to be even funnier; Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day star as three doofuses who scheme together to kill their awful employers, played by Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell. The movie looks goofy and energetic and original, with three breakout comic performances in the leads and three familiar actors doing something a little different as the evil bosses. Colin Farrell, in particular, seems to be swinging for the fences by donning a terrible combover wig.

While that trailer hasn't yet shown up online, the first images from the film have popped up in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, as scanned by The Playlist. You can get a glimpse of Farrell's awful wig, plus Aniston putting the moves on Day (he plays her dental assistant) and Spacey laying down the law to Bateman and Day. Farrell's wig, obviously, is the money shot here, so check that one out on top below. Fuller sizes are available at The Playlist, and the movie hits theaters July 8.

Keanu Reeves Divulges A Bit Of Plot From Bill And Ted 3

: 2011-04-04 19:06:32 Author: Eric Eisenberg
We've been hearing for months - if not years - that Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will reunite for a possible Bill and Ted 3. Back in September Reeves expressed hope for the project and Winter confirmed that the project was in the works, but one major question still loomed: what would the sequel be about? Today we have an idea.

MTV has learned that not only is the first draft of Bill and Ted 3 about two months away, but has also divulged a few details about the story. Speaking with Reeves, who is currently promoting his new film Henry's Crime, the actor said that the movie would spin-off from the way things ended in the first sequel, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, when the duo's band, Wyld Stallyns, becomes known as the best in the universe. Said Reeves,

"When we last got together, part of it was that Bill and Ted were supposed to have written the song that saved the world, and it hasn't happened. So they've now become kind of possessed by trying to do that. Then there's an element of time and they have to go back."
I feel like it should be noted that while Reeves went on to have a massively successful career since the stoner time travel movie came out in the 80s, Winter's work has consisted mostly of bit parts and voice-over work. It will be interesting to see how these two characters have changed in the twenty years since we last saw them. It's just too bad that George Carlin isn't still around to play Rufus.

Bill & Ted 3 to Write the Song That Saves the World!
It's been months since we last heard anything about Bill & Ted 3, though it seems the project is still moving forward. Keanu Reeves recently revealed in an interview that he expects the script to be done in six weeks.

He also revealed that Bill & Ted 3 will tie into the end of Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, with the guys now in their 40s and still not having written the song that saves the world. Here's what he had to say below.

"I believe the writers are six weeks away from a draft. No pressure, guys! When we last got together, part of it was that Bill and Ted were supposed to have written the song that saved the world, and it hasn't happened. So they've now become kind of possessed by trying to do that. Then there's an element of time and they have to go back."


Back in September, we reported that Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, the original writers of both Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, are writing the script.

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey actually ends with Bill and Ted getting lost on the way to the first-ever gig on Mars. It is not known if that element of being lost in space will play a factor in the storyline at this time.

Bill & Ted 3 is in development and stars Alex Winter, Keanu Reeves.

***Quentin Tarantino’s Next Film Is a Spaghetti Western Starring Christoph Waltz **Josh Holloway to Guest Star on Two-Part Season Finale of COMMUNITY ***Yet Another Trailer for GAME OF THRONES

Quentin Tarantino’s Next Film Is a Spaghetti Western Starring Christoph Waltz

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 28th, 2011

Quentin Tarantino has left the world wondering how he would follow his masterful Inglourious Basterds.  Would it be an adaptation of The Shadow?  A medieval movie starring Helen Mirren?  Tarantino said it wouldn’t be a prequel to Basterds or a sequel to Kill Bill.  So what’s the genre-bending director up to?  Italian actor Franco Nero (Django) may have spilled the beans to Movieplayer [via The Playlist].  Nero says:
“The film will be called The Angel, The Bad And The Wise and is a tribute to Sergio Leone. It’s a movie that contains humor, lots of action, but also a great plot.  We have already been signed by a dozen people who will be part of project. Among the filmmakers involved include Quentin Tarantino, Keith Carradine, Treat Williams, fifteen people in all Americans who want to do this movie and so we are trying to produce it outside of Italy.”
However, this may not be entirely true.  Hit the jump for more details on this mystery greatness and how Tarantino is reteaming with Christoph Waltz.

Josh Holloway to Guest Star on Two-Part Season Finale of COMMUNITY

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: February 28th, 2011

We haven’t seen him on TV since he was marooned on a mysterious island in Lost, but now Josh Holloway (who played James “Sawyer” Ford) is set to return to TV in a great way. EW reports Holloway is closing a deal to have a guest spot in the two-part season finale of Community which will air sometime in May. The finale will attempt to capture the same magic that made their “Modern Warfare” paintball episode such the best episode of the series by returning to the game again. Holloway will be playing a mysterious figure who emerges on campus during another game of paintball. The two-part finale is sort of a sequel to the last episode, but isn’t that how every episode of a TV series works.

***Michael Fassbender Eyes Sean Penn Starrer GENIUS ***Gary Ross Talks THE HUNGER GAMES; Says Film Will Be PG-13 ***HBO Finally Sets Premiere Dates for GAME OF THRONES and MILDRED PIERCE ***Elijah Wood Set to Star in TREASURE ISLAND

Michael Fassbender Eyes Sean Penn Starrer GENIUS

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 7th, 2011

Following his breakout role in Inglorious Basterds, Michael Fassbender has been courted for a number of films. The latest project that his name has been mentioned with is the adaptation of the National Book Award-winning non-fiction book Max Perkins: Editor of Genius. The film version, titled Genius, is being scripted by John Logan (Gladiator), and Sean Penn has been circling the starring role for some time now.
Perkins worked as a literary editor for such literary greats as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and Thomas Wolfe. Penn would portray Perkins, while Fassbender is eyeing the role of Wolfe, with whom Perkins shared a complicated relationship in which they fought constantly. The Playlist reports that producer Bill Pohlad is set to direct, and the filmmakers are looking to get the project going soon, so expect official casting announcements sooner rather than later. Fassbender is currently filming X-Men: First Class with director Matthew Vaughn and will next be seen in Jane Eyre.



Gary Ross Talks THE HUNGER GAMES; Says Film Will Be PG-13

by Bill Graham    Posted: January 7th, 2011

Sometimes people forget the target audiences of feature films and the novels that inspired them. Suzanne Collins’ acclaimed and best selling trilogy of novels are marketed and sold toward the Young Adult demographic, but older fans have been clamoring for an R-rated adaptation. However, that all changed today when director Gary Ross made it abundantly clear that Hunger Games would not forget the children that have fueled the series. Hit the jump for the full quotes and why this is a win for fans of the books.
Ross talked with Entertainment Weekly about the rating and made it clear the film would be PG-13:
It’s not going to be an R-rated movie because I want the 12- and 13- and 14-year-old-fans to be able to go see it. This book means too much to too many teenagers for it not to be PG-13. It’s their story and they deserve to be able to access it completely.
Ross clearly understands that the core audience of the film are teenagers and won’t create a violent film that forgets that.
Of course, the reason so many people have likely rooted for an R-rating is because adults have devoured the books just as much as the younger audiences it was aimed at. Then again, the film does deal with difficult material. Ross said that Suzanne hasn’t “written in any way an overly graphic book. Even things like the Tracker Jacker sequence, while horrific, it’s the ideas that Suzanne has created that are so harrowing.”
For more on the film and how producer Nina Jacobson reacts to the Twilight comparison, check out the full EW article. What do you think? Are Suzanne Collins’ books ripe for an R-rating or does a PG-13 film fit as well? Let us know in the comments below.




HBO Finally Sets Premiere Dates for GAME OF THRONES and MILDRED PIERCE

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: January 7th, 2011

More news straight out of the Television Critics Association press tour has HBO finally announcing the premiere dates for two of its anticipated project in 2011. First, the new medieval series (watch the trailer here Game of Thrones has been promoted all over the cable network, and now they’ve finally announced the series will premiere on April 17th. Based on George R.R. Martin’s fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire the sprawling tale set in the mythical land of Westeros tells the story of the noble Stark family who become caught up in high court intrigue when patriarch Eddard (played by Sean Bean) becomes the king’s new right-hand man.
Also, HBO announced their miniseries Mildred Pierce, starring Kate Winslet, will debut on March 27th. You can watch the trailer right here but for a quick refresher, the miniseries (directed by Far from Heaven helmer Todd Haynes and based on James M. Cain’s novel) follows a proud, single mother (Winslet) struggling to earn her daughter’s love during the depression in middle-class Los Angeles. As with pretty much all of HBO’s projects, both look very promising, and I’m looking forward to see them in the spring. How about you?
