Though Zooey Deschanel was the host of this week’s Saturday Night Live, she was upstaged by two of its guests: Jean Dujardin and Nicolas Cage. Both came to promote and mock their movies, and it made for one of the all around best SNL’s in a while (though the musical guests were a low point). Dujardin, who would win the BAFTA for best actor the next day, came to do a musical number, while Cage went to the update desk to talk about his latest Ghost Rider film. Check it out…

In a very sweet note for the end fo 2011, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel have decided to commemorate the end of the year by singing “What Are You Doing New Years Eve?” The duo did a song and dance number together in 500 Days of Summer, and must have got on well enough to want to work together again, by hook or crook. This song seems like a good chance to have a little fun. Check it out…

Though the title suggests a stoner comedy along the lines of The Pineapple Express, Your Highness is more of a goof on the fantasy and Sword and Sorcery movies that took over cinema in the early 1980′s, films that ranged from the studio financed Conan the Barbarian and Clash of the Titans, to the Italian and American rip-offs like Yor, the Hunter from the Future and Barbarian Queen. If you’ve got a soft spot for The Beastmaster, but also recognie that it’s kinda goofy, this movie is for you. Otherwise…

As we get closer to the the April 8 release of Your Highness, we’re seeing the marketing for the film kick in to high gear (no pun intended).

And to keep interest up, Universal has released a new Red Band Trailer for the film, which stars Danny McBride, James Franco, Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel and is directed by David Gordon Green.

There’s not other way of saying it, with My Idiot Brother mainstream Hollywood has officially hit the streets of Sundance. Despite the fact that I will see Paul Rudd (even when I’m supposed to be looking for the best unknown ____ who is soon to be amazing) in anything and enjoy the entire supporting cast, one can’t help but wonder what this film is doing at an Independent film festival — everything about it seems as mainstream as possible…

We have a new photo from David Gordon Green’s upcoming comedy, Your Highness. It’s a period piece that somehow maintains all the gratuitous, slapstick comedy that you’d find in modern day features like Pineapple Express. Green found a way to do it and he got James Franco (who also appeared in Pineapple Express), Natalie Portman, Danny McBride, and Zooey Deschanel to be a part of it.

It’s time to get dirty and medieval with the newest trailer for the David Gordon Green comedy, Your Highness. The director reunites with his Pineapple Express co-stars James Franco and Danny McBride, who are joined by Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel. That’s not a bad group of people to headline a film. Over at IGN, they’ve just released the red band trailer and yes, it’s pretty vulgar. Take a look…

The cast of Marc Webb’s Spider-Man has been infused with some Grade A talent thanks to the addition of Martin Sheen and Sally Field. Last week the duo were said to be in negotiations to play Uncle Ben and Aunt May, the paternal figures in Peter Parker’s life. Andrew Garfield will play the title character, Emma Stone will star as his love interest Gwen Stacy, and Rhys Ifans will play the villain of choice Dr. Curt Connors aka The Lizard.
A couple of roles are still up for grabs including The Daily Bugle’s Editor and Chief J. Jonah Jameson and his secretary Betty Brant. Jameson is still in question but according to Showbizspy, Zooey Deschanel might take on Brant!
