Not long ago I sat down with Jonah Hill for a one on one interview to talk to him about taking on the slightly more serious role of Cyrus or as I’ve been calling him “The comedic Norman Bates” in the Duplass brothers latest film Cyrus. Hill’s appearance on screen is often times extremely humorous but it is mainly due to his intense and straight-faced performance. He approached the role as much more of a drama and admits that he never really understood his character, but played him by “feeling sympathy for him.”

Find out more about Hill transforming himself, working with his idols and his upcoming project with Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Brad Pitt below…

Do NOT be deceived by this box office hungry trailer: Jonah Hill will perform sans Judd Appatow flare and John C. Riley offers more than half-nude tomfoolery. That being said, Fox Searchlight Pictures presents Cyrus written and directed by the Duplass brothers. Hill, Riley, and the always fabulous Marissa Tomei comprise the quirky trio that will leave you both slightly charmed and slightly confused.

Check out the review below…

This weekend the familiar combo of Jonah Hill and Russell Brand will return to the big screen in Nicholas Stoller’s spin-off of 2008′s, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Get Him to the Greek focuses on the outlandish and politically incorrect rocker Aldous Snow and a young unsuspecting assistant from his record label. When you take Brand, Hill, Stoller, and throw in a real music mogul like Sean “Diddy” Combs you have the makings of a decent but not great comedy…

Jonah Hill is known for playing the foul mouthed best friend in Judd Apatow comedies like Knocked Up, Funny People, and Superbad, but in this weekend’s Get Him to the Greek he’s switching it up. He’ll leave the antics to British comedian Russell Brand, who co-headlines the spin-off to the 2008 comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. In the film, Hill doesn’t play a sex crazed teen or an unemployed slacker, but a fresh faced intern who’s trying to work his way up the corporate ladder at a premiere record label.

The actor recently sat down with us to discuss his transition from teen to adult roles and his highly ambitious career goals. Hill is a prime example of why you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. He has his eye on the prize and it goes beyond acting. The 26 year old wants to work behind the camera as a director, writer, producer and that’s just the tip of the iceberg…

The movie features Brand and Jonah Hill who both starred in the prequel to the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The only difference is Hill won’t be playing the same character even though Brand will.

ShoWest premiered the green band trailer for Get Him to The Greek, a slapstick comedy about a nerdy assistant who is sent to go get an out of control rock star to The Greek theater for a performance. As simple and cliched as the premise may be they have cast the film well enough that it looks like it may just be worth a watch. Both actors are playing the exact same characters that we’ve come to know them for. Jonah Hill is a complete nerd with no social sense and Russell Brand is, well Russell Brand.

At this point, is Moneyball nothing but a shadow of its former self? Last year we heard so much about the Steven Soderbergh-Brad Pitt collaboration before it hit the skids after the director jumped ship. Pitt supposedly stayed on board and Capote director Bennett Miller was brought in to direct. Aaron Sorkin was hired to polish the script and lo’ and behold we’ve got a new casting shakeup. According to The Playlist, Jonah Hill has just signed on to co-star in the film replacing Demetri Martin.

The film is an adaptation of the 1987 movie Adventures in Babysitting, which starred Elisabeth Shue as the sitter in question. This time around Hill will play the childcare provider (shiver) and hilarity will ensue!
