First Trailer for OUR IDIOT BROTHER

by Adam Chitwood   Posted: April 24th, 2011

The first trailer for the comedy Our Idiot Brother has been released. The film first premiered at Sundance and boasts a wildly impressive cast that includes Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer and Rashida Jones. Directed by Jesse Peretz (The Chateau), the film tells the story of a ne’er-do-well brother who successively barges into the lives of his three sisters.

The trailer hits all the right notes, with the pitch-perfect Rudd coming off as equal parts lovable and pathetic. The supporting cast looks fantastic as well. Hit the jump to check the trailer out for yourself, and click here to read Matt’s review of the film from Sundance. Our Idiot Brother hits theaters on August 26^th.

Photos: "Captain America" Filming Secret Scene in Times Square

Posted: April 24th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Less than two months before release, director Joe Johnston took Samuel L Jackson and Chris Evans to shoot additional scenes for "Captain America: The First Avenger" at Times Square on Saturday. There were plenty of people in the area, which is why we now have a video and several photos from the set.

Judging by the photos, it seems that this is Marvel's post-credits scene in which Steve Rogers (Evans) travels from the 1940s to present day and is overwhelmed by the chaos of today's New York. Check everything out below.

Now that "The Avengers" are getting ready to begin filming on Monday, Evans is worried that he won't get the chance to star in films other than Captain America-related.

Evans explained: "That was a big concern when we agreed to do the film. I said look, 'If do this movie, I don't want to only be in a blue superhero outfit for the next ten years. That's just not creatively satisfying.'"

He confirmed that Marvel is already working on the "Captain America" sequel and "The Avengers" is getting ready to begin filming on Monday. "It's gonna be tough. I might not have a lot of downtime in my life," said Evans. "We did sign a six picture thing, so there's potentially three Captain America's and three Avengers."

Trailer: Paul Rudd's "Our Idiot Brother" Comedy

Posted: April 24th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Today we have the trailer for "Our Idiot Brother" comedy, starring Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Emily Mortimer and Zooey Deschanel. It is directed by Jesse Peretz (The Ex) and is set to hit theaters on August 26th. Check out the trailer below.

Plot: Every family has one: the sibling who is always just a little bit behind the curve when it comes to getting his life together. For sisters Liz (Mortimer), Miranda (Banks) and Natalie (Deschanel), that person is their perennially upbeat brother Ned (Rudd), an erstwhile organic farmer whose willingness to rely on the honesty of mankind is a less-than-optimum strategy for a tidy, trouble-free existence.

Ned may be utterly lacking in common sense, but he is their brother and so, after his girlfriend dumps him and boots him off the farm, his sisters once again come to his rescue. As Liz, Emily and Natalie each take a turn at housing Ned, their brother's unfailing commitment to honesty creates more than a few messes in their comfortable routines. But as each of their lives begins to unravel, Ned's family comes to realize that maybe, in believing and trusting the people around him, Ned isn't such an idiot after all.

Photo: Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady"

Posted: April 22nd, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Today we have a photo of Meryl Streep and Jim Broadbent as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher her husband Denis in "The Iron Lady" biopic. Check out the photo below.

Plot: The film tells the compelling story of Margaret Thatcher, a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and intimate portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman.

"The film covers a big spectrum of her life in order to sum up the kind of person she was, and why she has this iconic status," said an executive producer.

"The Iron Lady" is directed by Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia!) and co-stars Anthony Head. It has yet to secure US distribution, but is set to hit UK theaters on January 6th, 2012.

**Alyson Hannigan Confirmed For American Reunion **Tom Wilkinson Joins Samuel L. Jackson In The Samaritan **Alec Baldwin Attached To Woody Allen's Rome Project, Jesse Eisenberg Rumored **Trailer for PASSION PLAY

Tom Wilkinson Joins Samuel L. Jackson In The Samaritan
published: 2011-04-11 20:54:22 Author: Eric Eisenberg
You will never find anyone who can say with a straight face that they don't like Tom Wilkinson. The man has played in over fifty films spanning the last five decades and has always shown incredibly versatility, going from prestige films like In The Bedroom, to superhero movies like Batman Begins, to comedies like The Full Monty. Simply put, the more Tom Wilkinson the better, so let's all celebrate the fact that he's just been cast in a new project.


Wilkinson has joined Samuel L. Jackson, Luke Kirby and Ruth Negga in The Samaritan, according to Variety. In the film, Jackson plays a criminal who is trying to go straight after spending 20 years in jail, but gets roped in to a grift by his former partner's son. Wilkinson will play a crime boss that gets caught up in the plan. Directed by David Weaver, the film is already in production in Toronto and is scheduled to move down to Rio de Janiero next month. The film is doesn't have a set release date yet, but is expected to hit theaters next year.


While researching this story, the thing that took me by surprise is the fact that Wilkinson and Jackson have actually never been in a film together, which is strange for two actors with such extensive resumes. Let's hope that there's more than one scene that allows the two of them to square off.

Alyson Hannigan Confirmed For American Reunion
published: 2011-04-11 18:20:49 Author: Eric Eisenberg


Of all the American Pie alumni, Alyson Hannigan is easily the most successful - though I suppose it's not that hard when your cohorts include Jason Biggs, Tara Reid, Chris Klein, Shannon Elizabeth, Thomas Ian Nicholas, etc. Part of the incredibly successful sitcom How I Met Your Mother and still swimming in geek praise after all of her years on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she is the one member of the cast who would probably benefit least from a fourth American Pie movie, but one can't deny the power of nostalgia.


Deadline reports that Hannigan has officially signed on American Reunion, which will bring the cast back together for the first time since 2003's American Wedding. But while Hannigan may have missed playing the part of band geek Michelle, apparently she's quite familiar with the rules of supply and demand and, as the site puts it, "leverage[d] for a nice piece of the pie." The report says that the story revolves around her character's marriage and family with Biggs' character, Jim. The film will shoot while How I Met Your Mother is on break.


The more I hear about this sequel, the more I get a really bad Little Fockers vibe. It seems as though the people behind this seem to think that these are characters that we've grown up with, but I'm not sure anyone sees the original three films as more than a collection of sex and toilet jokes. Why do I care if Jim and Michelle have a kid? It was boring enough when they were getting married. At the very least let's hope there's a heavy focus on the other characters.

Alec Baldwin Attached To Woody Allen's Rome Project, Jesse Eisenberg Rumored
published: 2011-04-11 17:51:46 Author: Eric Eisenberg
Last month it was announced that Woody Allen would be setting and filming his next movie in Rome, but said that he was superstitious divulging details about both the story and the actors involved. Then Penelope Cruz blabbed that she is attached, and apparently that was enough to open the floodgates. Deadline reports that Alec Baldwin has officially signed on for the untitled film in a (surprise!) unspecified role. What's more, the site also says that Jesse Eisenberg is in line for a lead role. While the film would be the first time the young Eisenberg works with the famed director, Baldwin starred alongside Mia Farrow in 1990's Alice.


Albeit Eisenberg only reached A-list status in the last year thanks to his performance in David Fincher's The Social Network, I'm amazed that he and Allen have only just found each other. I don't want to sound insensitive in any way, but this may be the perfect opportunity to pass off the neurotic Jew torch.
