We all know that Jack Black has nothing but love for the Nickelodeon network. The man’s hosted their Kid’s Choice Awards twice (in 2006 and 2008) and has no problem dabbling in a little slime from time to time but who knew he had a thing for the show, “iCarly“? The series that stars Despicable Me’s Miranda Cosgrove, has somehow landed the actor for a guest spot this season. Who will he play and most importantly what will he do? Let’s find out…

Did you know that Jack Black was a Golden Globe nominated actor? Yep, he is and it’s thanks to a little performance that made a lot of noise in a film called The School of Rock. It was directed by Richard Linklater, who recently helmed Me and Orson Welles and the duo are reuniting for another project. According to THR, they’ll tackle a dark comedy aptly titled, Bernie.

Even though we’re still slightly bitter that Gulliver’s Travels is the film that kept Emily Blunt from playing Black Widow in Iron Man 2 our anger is starting to subside. We’re at the point where we feel comfortable revealing the first theatrical poster for the film that features its main star, Jack Black. Check out the full sized image and see why “Black is the new big”…

With Thanksgiving on the horizon, all any of us can think about is stuffing our faces with food. Let’s be honest, every year the holiday turns into a gorge fest that doesn’t involve us giving thanks for anything. To soften the blow of your impending weight gain we’ve composed a list of the Top Ten Fat Performances to get you through it all. This list includes a few naturally chubby thespians as well as some fit ones who slipped on the infamous fat suit all in the name of comedy.

When you take the comedic tone of Harold Ramis, the casting connections of Judd Apatow, and the backdrop of Mel Brook’s History of the World you get this weekend’s, Year One. In order to combat the box office champ The Hangover and the romantic charm of The Proposal, Ramis and company are busting out the big guns. Led by the outlandish Jack Black and typically subdued Michael Cera, Year One attempts to take you back to where it all began one slapstick joke at a time.

Look over there! /Film has just put together a little bundle of set photos from Gulliver’s Travels, which reveal some new casting information for the film.
Catherine Tate who was rumored to be playing the Queen of Lilliput apparently got the role because she’s on set running around in a huge dress. Unless she just liked hanging around sets in full wardrobe, which would be a bit odd. James Corden and Billy Connolly also show up in some of the pictures, which again was a surprise for me. Who knew they were in the film?
I think that is Emily Blunt behind the tree in the photo above, but I’m not sure. Can you tell? Jack Black didn’t appear to be shooting anything, although if you look very closely you will see that he was wondering around the set in the photos below. Jason Segel (who we know is in the film) doesn’t seem to be making an appearance in any of the pictures, unless he’s hiding out somewhere I’m not seeing.
Check out the photo gallery below. Maybe you can find Segel…

This is a great year for comedies. We have I Love You, Man, Observe and Report, Monsters Vs. Aliens, and then Year One. I have very high expectations for this film and if it’s anything like this trailer, I don’t think I’ll be disappointed.
I mean, we all know Jack Black has it in him to lead a comedy and Michael Cera is good in everything he’s in. Put them in a biblical comedic piece with a supporting cast that includes Paul Rudd and David Cross as Cain and Able and Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Isaac, with a screenplay by Harold Ramis (Groundhog Day), Gene Stupnitsky (“The Office”), and Lee Eisenberg (“The Office”), and it’s hard not to fail.
Check out the new trailer below…
