Paul Schneider to Star in Broken Lizard’s THE BABY MAKER; Sienna Miller Reportedly Joins FREAKY DEAKY

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 27th, 2011

We have a couple quick casting notes to report.  First up, Paul Schneider (Lars and the Real Girl) will star in Broken Lizard’s new movie The Baby Maker.  While Broken Lizard will star and the troupe’s Jay Chandrasekhar will direct, the script was penned by Ice Age: The Meltdown writers Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow.  Per Variety, “Story follows a married couple who fail to conceive after months of trying, prompting the husband to enlist his friends’ help to rob a Pasadena sperm bank, where he made a deposit as a young man.  All of the Broken Lizard members are expected to co-star, with Kevin Heffernan playing the protag’s crazy best friend, who hooks him up with an Estonian master thief, played by Chandrasekhar. Other Broken Lizard members include Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske.”

Why the sperm bank wouldn’t simply give him back his own seed is beyond me.  I’m also surprised that sperm keeps for that long.  Logistics aside, Schneider is terrific actor and it will be interesting to see him play against the Broken Lizard gang.  Hit the jump for some casting news regarding the adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s Freaky Deaky.

Trailer for THE WHISTLEBLOWER Starring Rachel Weisz

by Matt Goldberg   Posted: May 27th, 2011 at 8:47 am

The US trailer for The Whistleblower has gone online.  Based on real events, Rachel Weisz stars as a UN peacekeeper in post-war Bosnia who uncovers rampant corruption and a massive cover-up of criminal activity.  The film played the festival circuit last year to positive notices and I’m glad I’ll finally get a chance to see it in the near future.  In addition to Weisz, the impressive cast features David Strathairn, Monica Bellucci, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jason Isaacs, and Vanessa Redgrave.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The Whistleblower opens August 5th. http://collider.com/whistleblower-trailer/93356/

First Clip from GREEN LANTERN

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 27th, 2011 at 8:24 am

With the film’s release only a few weeks away, the first clip from Green Lantern has gone online.  The clip was shown on Attack of the Show before an interview with Michael Clarke Duncan who voices Kilowog.  In the clip, we see Kilowog training Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds).  What I really like about this clip is that previously we’ve seen Hal generate swords, chainguns, and a giant fist, but what’s so fantastic about the ring is that it can conjure anything.  Seeing what a seasoned Green Lantern Corps member like Kilowog constructs in this clip is pretty ingenious and raises my excitement for the completed film.

New Picture of Sean Hayes as Larry in the Farrelly Brothers THREE STOOGES Movie

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub   Posted: May 27th, 2011 at 2:54 am

With filming underway in Atlanta on the Farrelly Brothers Three Stooges movie, the other day we posted our first look at Larry (Sean Hayes) and Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos) on set.  However, we now have a much better look at Hayes as Larry.  If there was anyone who doubted that Hayes looked like Larry, this picture will silence the naysayers.  However, we still don’t know how he’ll play the character, but I’ve always thought Hayes was an underrated actor, and I think he’s going to nail it.

The Three Stooges will be comprised of three 27-minute segments (just like the originals), the first of which see them as children raising all kinds of hell in an orphanage.  Hit the jump for a better picture. http://collider.com/three-stooges-movie-image-sean-hayes-larry/93280/

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.

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.

Sean Hayes to Host Tony Awards Ceremony

These have been some busy weeks for Sean Hayes, below, the Emmy Award-winning “Will & Grace” star: he has been starring on Broadway in the revival of “Promises, Promises,” which netted him a Tony Award nomination for best actor in a musical. And — oh, yes — he recently came out publicly and was criticized in an article on Newsweek’s Web site (newsweek.com) that said he and other gay actors were unconvincing as straight characters. And what better way to put that behind him than by hosting a nationally televised awards program? Mr. Hayes has been chosen to host the 64th Annual Tony Awards, its organizers said on Monday.

The awards ceremony that honors Broadway’s best will be held on June 13 at Radio City Music Hall and will be broadcast live on CBS. The 2010 Tonys team will come into the show with some momentum, or some big shoes to fill, depending on how you look at it: the 2009 ceremony, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, drew the show’s best ratings in three years.
