It didn’t take long for Judd Apatow to segue into Dramedy, did it? The director, who launched Steve Carell and Seth Rogen into stardom with The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, seems to want to add a little more pathos into the mix, and maybe that’s why there are no laugh out loud moments in the trailer for his upcoming film This is 40. Check out the trailer after the jump.
From fairy tales on, the supernatural and scary elements of children’s entertainment has long been celebrated and decried. It all depends on the kids, but for every scaredy cat, there’s the child who wants to watch Tim Burton‘s Nightmare Before Christmas on a loop. ParaNorman is the latest entry in the genre of macabre children’s tales, and like Nightmare and Coraline before it, it’s stop motion animated. And now there’s a trailer, check it out…
Yesterday, we reported that Megan Fox was set to bring her box office poison unique charm to the set of Judd Apatow’s new film, starring as a yet to be detailed character. Today, it seems, someone with actual comedic talent and chops a little more familiar to the comedy world is now in negotiations to join the cast—Albert Brooks.
Judd Apatow is gearing up for his next directorial project following 2009′s Funny People. According to reports, he plans to reunite his Knocked Up co-stars Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann for a spin-off that features their characters Pete and Debbie. Previously, it was thought to be either a prequel or a sequel but it’s neither.
For those of you mulling over the purchase of a ticket to this outrageously stupid film, listen up: Typically we associate Jim Carrey with unwavering humor and Ewan McGregor with infectious charm. In the sheer disaster that is I Love You Phillip Morris, both actors give performances utterly barren of the aforementioned qualities. Co-written/directed by longtime creative partners Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the film (that I emphatically encourage all readers to avoid) opens in theaters nationwide this Friday.
Two actresses have been cast in two very different comedies that feature some well known actors. Leslie Mann has landed a role in the upcoming Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman film The Change-Up, while Carla Gugino has been cast in Mr. Popper’s Penguins alongside Jim Carrey. Who will play what? Find out below…
This weekend we get Judd Apatow‘s new star-studded comedy Funny People with Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Eric Bana, Leslie Mann, Jonah Hill, and Jason Schwartzman. The film makes fun of the people in it, as much as it makes fun of itself and is by far one of the smartest comedies in theaters right now.
Check out the good, the bad, and the plot below…
Judd Apatow directs Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, and Leslie Mann amongst several other hilarious actors in his third film, Funny People. The film hits theaters tomorrow on July 31, and promises to deliver comedy, drama, and everything in between for it’s viewing audience. The story centers on a successful comedian named George Simmons (Sandler), who’s unfortunately diagnosed with a terminal illness. In the wake of this news, he decides to become a mentor to a young aspiring comedian named, Ira (Rogen). These two soon become close friends who deal with love, success, and death all at the same time. With such a heavy premise, do you think Funny People will actually be…funny?
