Sit Down, Shut Up: Fox Animated Series Returning, Will All Episodes Air?
16 July 2009 7:14 AM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news
Last April, Fox aired promos that conceded that the network was sorry for cancelling Arrested Development. And, as a result, they were presenting a new series from Mitch Hurwitz, Sit Down, Shut Up.
Sit Down, Shut Up revolves around the dysfunctional faculty and staff at a high school in a small fishing town in Florida. The animated show features the voice talents of Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Will Forte, Tom Kenny, Nick Kroll, Kristin Chenoweth, Cheri Oteri, Kenan Thompson, and Henry Winkler.
Though there were big expectations, few people felt like it measured up and not many watched the animated show. It was pulled after four weeks on the air.
Now, Fox has made plans to bring the series back, at least for a little while anyway. They'll be airing at midnight on Saturday nights beginning September 12th. Repeats of Talkshow with Spike Feresten will precede the animated episodes.

Exclusive: Images from Mike Judge's 'Extract'
15 July 2009 10:32 AM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Cinematical has just received these exclusive stills from Mike Judge's upcoming comedy Extract, starring Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, Ben Affleck, Clifton Collins Jr., J.K. Simmons and Kristen Wiig. Similar to what Judge did with Office Space, Extract once again plops us right in the middle of the workplace; this time at an Extract plant where its owner, Joel (Bateman), is trying to balance a whole bunch of personal and professional problems, including an unfaithful wife (Wiig) and strange employees. I love Judge's random sense of humor, the first trailer for the film was pretty hilarious and it's nice to see the writer-director back on the big screen making us laugh with a studio counterpart who's willing to promote the heck out of his new flick.
Those of you heading out to Comic Con next week can get a more advanced look at some of the film at the official

Mike Judge fans have a lot to be excited about. Not only does the brilliant satirist behind Office Space and Idiocracy have a new movie coming out September 4, Extract, but he and cast members Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis and Kristen Wiig will all be at Comic Con next week to take fan questions and be ogled and adored by the assorted geeks. To get you excited about the movie (well, even more excited than you were when you saw the trailer), we've got four exclusive images from the film, featuring Bateman, Wiig, Kunis, and my favorite, a hippied-out Ben Affleck giving Bateman's character advice from behind a bar. Check them all out in the gallery below. If you're going to Comic Con next week, make sure to check out the Extract panel on Saturday in Hall H at 1:30.

Simon Pegg And Nick Frost With The Behind The Scenes Skinny On Paul
13 July 2009 4:04 AM, PDT | From SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news
Simon Pegg (Scotty) and Nick Frost, of Shawn of the Dead fame, give us a dandy behind the scenes video view of their new movie “Paul”. “Paul” is a buddy road movie where two nerds and/or geeks (you can be both but not at the same time) try desperately to return an alien named Paul to his spaceship after encountering him during a trip to a Sci-Fi convention. As our loyal readers may or may not know, my first date with my wife was at Shawn of the Dead, so Nick and Simon are kind of like family to me. Paul also stars a bevy of Hollywood’s greatest comedic talent. Joining Simon and Nick are Jason Bateman, Sigourney weaver, Bill Hader, Seth Rogen and a host of others. Paul is directed by Superbad’s Greg Mottola. Thanks Io9.

Pegg and Frost Video Blog Real Details of Paul
10 July 2009 10:14 AM, PDT | From /Film | See recent /Film news
We've told you what the movie Paul is about. That's the road trip movie written by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, currently being directed by Adventureland's Greg Mottola and starring a whole bunch of awesome people. But it's much more fun to let Pegg and Frost tell you what it's about, especially with the slightly smarmy haircut and goatee Pegg is now sporting. Their latest video blog from the production diary What is Paul? goes into all the dirty details, or at least some of them. Watch it after the break. Here you'll see most of the major cast (except Sigourney Weaver and Blythe Danner) in character. Jason Bateman, Jo Lo Truglio and Bill Hader in their government suits, Jane Lynch in real Flo coffee shop mode (almost makes me want to watch some Alice reruns), Kristen Wiig, Dave Koechner (Champ Kind!) and the wonderful John Caroll Lynch, who

Jason Bateman has revealed that he spent the majority of the '90s in a drug and alcohol-induced state. The Arrested Development star, 40, said that his uncontrollable addictions went hand-in-hand, People reports.

Jason Bateman: Booze and Drugs Were Like "French Fries and Ketchup"
9 July 2009 3:02 PM, PDT | From TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide.com - Breaking News news
Funnyman Jason Bateman says his struggle with drugs and alcohol in the 1990s was "like Risky Business for 10 years."
"I'd worked so hard that by the time I was 20, I wanted to play hard. And I did that really well," Bateman told Details.

Bateman: 'Childhood Fame Drove Me To Excess'
9 July 2009 5:11 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Former childhood star Jason Bateman blames his early rise to fame for turning him into a booze-addled wreck.
The 40 year old made his acting debut at the age of 11 in TV drama Little House on the Prairie and rose to stardom in shows such as The Hogan Family and Silver Spoons.
But the Arrested Development actor worked so hard through his childhood and teenage years that he spiralled out of control as he approached adulthood - likening the period to that of Tom Cruise's character in 1983 movie Risky Business.
He says, "It was like Risky Business for 10 years. My parents were out of town, they left me a bunch of money, the car, and the house, and I didn’t know when they were coming home. I’d worked so hard that by the time I was 20, I wanted to play hard. And I did that really well.”
Bateman decided to clean up his act after his wife, Amanda Anka, threatened to leave him.
He says, "I was never at a place where rehab would have been appropriate. Booze was what would make me want to stay out all night and do some blow or smoke a joint or whatever, so shutting that off was key.
"It’s like ketchup and French fries - I don’t want one without the other. So that’s the moment: Do you want to continue being great at being in your twenties, or do you want to step up and graduate into adulthood?”
20 Most Anticipated Movies Still to Come In 2009
9 July 2009 2:33 AM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news
20 Most Anticipated Movies Still to Come In 2009 At the beginning of the year I made a list of my Top 15 Most Anticipated Films of 2009. Of that list I have now seen five of them. Nine out of the remaining ten made this list as I bumped Alejandro Amenabar's Agora since it has still yet to get picked up by a distributor due to rather weak reactions out of the Cannes Film Festival. However, a few films have made their way onto this list thanks to strong film festival reactions as I have put together a list of 20 films to look forward to as we move into the final six months of 2009. One film I didn't include merely because it is coming out next week and I felt it would be a wasted space is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I am undoubtedly anticipating seeing it and had it been

Jason Bateman can truly claim the title of Comeback Kid - given there's been much for him to come back from. Once upon a time, he tells the August issue of Details, his life "was like [the movie] Risky Business.

The former child star, now 40, says he spent the '90s in a haze of liquor and drugs after working on numerous sitcoms and films all through the previous decade. It took an ultimatum from his wife,
