Will Kevin Hart Risk a Legendary Career By Becoming Kevin James’s ‘Valet Guys’ Co-Star?
25 May 2012 6:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Blink and you may have missed it, but Kevin Hart is now pretty much the biggest comedian in the world. Though he’s not yet a household name in some Middle American holdouts, at some point in the last few years the diminutive loudmouth has gone from working the stand-up circuit and impressing in side roles in Judd Apatow films to filling arenas full of people late-80s Andrew Dice Clay style with his stand-up routine and starring in films like Think Like a Man, which just made more than seven times its budget back at the box office. Right now, the world is his oyster and all he has to do is reach down and pluck out the pearls. So what’s a guy in such an enviable position got planned for his next move? If Deadline Jenkintown is to be believed, it’s obviously got to be co-starring in a Kevin James comedy. The »

Kristen Wiig: What are the 'SNL' Mvp's career prospects?
25 May 2012 11:48 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Kristen Wiig made her final regular appearance on Saturday Night Live last week with a moving send-off that was grander and more heartfelt than the sketch show has given a cast member in quite some time. With half a dozen film projects in the works, Wiig is poised to launch into a long, successful career on the A-list. But then again so was David Spade, Jimmy Fallon, and Tina Fey. While those SNL vets have all flourished in television, Wiig has made no move toward the small screen, and it’s harder to become a bankable star on the level of Will Ferrell, »

Comedian Kevin Hart To Try His Hand At Occupation-Based Slapstick With Kevin James In 'Valet Guys'
25 May 2012 8:21 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
After working the grind of the comedy club circuit while picking up the occasional supporting film role, it seems actor/comedian Kevin Hart has finally reached, and even surpassed, the mainstream success that has recently graced Louis C.K. and Marc Maron among others. His comedy special “Laugh At My Pain” grossed more than $7 million on just 284 screens, while his starring role in the Tim Story-directed “Think Like a Man” helped that film reach $86 million on a $12 budget. Of course, now that Hart has proven himself a viable talent, studios are clamoring to place him front and center in their latest projects, and the first one finds him co-starring with another comedy star who previously struck box-office gold.
Deadline reports Hart is set to join Kevin James, “The King of Queens” star turned Hollywood go-to guy with “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” and “The Zookeeper,” in his latest occupation-based wonder, “Valet Guys. »

Cannes: Guy Pearce Talks Playing Camp & Shaving His Eyebrows In 'Lawless'
25 May 2012 8:01 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It takes a fair amount of talent to appear in a film alongside practiced scene-stealers like Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Jason Clarke and Shia Labeouf. But of course, as audiences have been aware for nearly two decades, since he came to attention in "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert," Guy Pearce is possessed of an unusual amount of talent.
While he's had a few leading man roles (notably in Christopher Nolan's "Memento"), it's in supporting parts where Pearce has truly made an impression -- see "Animal Kingdom," "The King's Speech" and "Mildred Pierce." And he's got a doozy of one in John Hillcoat's "Lawless," as Charlie Rakes, a sneering, violent marshall who aims to make life hell for the bootleggin' Bondurant brothers.
It's only the mid-point of a banner year for Pearce, who already starred in the surprisingly enjoyable "Lockout," will shortly be seen in "Prometheus, »

Kevin Hart Replaces Adam Sandler in Valet Guys
25 May 2012 1:00 AM, PDT | kidspickflicks | See recent kidspickflicks news »
Update: Kevin Hart (Think Like a Man) is joining Kevin James in Sony's Valet Guys. The film is about two guys who park cars at a fancy hotel in Miami and lose an expensive sports car. While trying to find it, they witness a murder and go on the run.
When this project was announced, Adam Sandler was in the role now taken by Hart. The Deadline exclusive doesn't mention Sandler or Happy Madison, so it appears he's dropped out completely. James and Sandler are definitely working together, however, on Grown-Ups 2.
Dec. 8, 2010 -- Adam Sandler and Kevin James will reteam (Grown-Ups, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry) for Valet Guys for Sony Pictures in Valet Guys. James and frequent collaborator Nick Bakay (Paul Blart: Mall Cop, The Zookeeper, "The King of Queens") will write the script about two long-term valets at a South Beach hotel who go on the run after witnessing a murder. »

'Hunger Games' Star Alexander Ludwig Is All 'Grown Ups 2'
24 May 2012 8:13 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Alexander Ludwig is ready to lighten up a little bit.
The young actor, who played the villainous Cato in "The Hunger Games," will laugh it up in the comedy sequel, "Grown Ups 2," according to Variety.
Ludwig will be playing the role of David Spade's son (we don't know why, but we find that very amusing). Just what kind of father-son relationship they have in the movie remains to be seen, but we have a feeling it might involve some tension and/or conflict.
Alexander Ludwig was fantastic in "The Hunger Games" as the imposing District 1 tribute who has it out for Katniss and Peeta from the start. As terrific as he was at oozing evil, he was also very impressive when he got to show his tortured, melancholy side during the final face-off.
"Grown Ups 2" marks a merging of the worlds of "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight, »

24 May 2012 3:45 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Pics From "Grown Ups 2" Set (Shaquille O'Neal Gives You A Reason To Want To See It... Maybe)

The first film was totally destroyed by critics, with 90% of them trashing it; but that didn't stop it from raking in over $160 million in box office domestically, and over $270 million worldwide. So it's no surprise that Columbia Pictures and Happy Madison Productions are shooting a sequel to Grown Ups, which starred Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider. And it looks like the entire starring cast returns, including Maya Rudolph and Salma Hayek, who will reprise their roles from the first film, while Oliver Cooper, David Henrie, Shaquille O'Neal, and others have signed on to play new characters.

Taran Killam Cast In ‘Twelve Years a Slave’; Kevin Hart Is One of Kevin James’ ‘Valet Guys’
24 May 2012 2:22 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
How often does this happen: Saturday Night Live member Taran Killam, perhaps best-known for his on-air impersonations of Brad Pitt, has been cast in a movie that’s both produced by and features… Brad Pitt. Deadline pegs him as the next player aboard Twelve Years a Slave, the Steve McQueen-directed Solomon Northup film which, up to now, has compiled an impressive cast comprised of Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Pitt, Paul Dano, Adepero Oduye (Pariah), Ruth Negga, and Scott McNairy.
This move goes hand-in-hand with our last update on the film, in which it was reported that McNairy has been signed as one of Northup’s kidnappers, who sell him to a southern slave plantation; as it were, Killam has been locked to play the “traveling showman” responsible for the actual, physical act. It’s a much darker role than any work on his current repertoire, but that should only »

3D is not the answer to cinema's problems. How about better films? | Stephen Kelly
24 May 2012 3:58 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The biggest problem with 3D is its disrespect towards viewers' intelligence. People know when they're being ripped off
There was a time – let's call it "2009" – when 3D looked like it could be the future of cinema. At that point, it was a technology long thought of as the last refuge of theme park gimmickry. James Cameron's Avatar, despite having a script written by Ralph Wiggum, changed all of that. It used 3D as a cinematographic tool – specifically built into the production and integral to its execution. It was impressive. What's followed since, isn't.
For Avatar made money – a lot of it. And what started as a risky revival of a 1950s 3D craze has now become the saturated embodiment of Hollywood laziness and cynicism – a "we'll stick any old shit in 3D" attitude that shows nothing but contempt towards its audience. And it's safe to assume, they agree: despite initial »

Vin Diesel Gets Smart with Director but Finds The Machine Moves Slowly
24 May 2012 1:00 AM, PDT | kidspickflicks | See recent kidspickflicks news »
Update: MGM has hired Peter Segal (Get Smart) to direct Vin Diesel's action-comedy The Machine. Segal is a comedy director, having also helmed the Adam Sandler films The Longest Yard, 50 First Dates and Anger Management. However, Segal has other film commitments (Bleach, Grudge Match) so it looks like The Machine will just have to get in line.
May 20, 2011 --Vin Diesel (Fast Five) will star in and produce the action-comedy The Machine for MGM. That all sounds like a normal next project for action star Diesel. Hold on to your socks, though: the script was written by Thomas Lennon (17 Again) and Robert Ben Garant, the guys/writers/creators of "Reno 911!" Is it just me or did this project just get interesting?
The Machine is about a man-machine (think the Bionic Man) created by the Pentagon but abandoned and buried. Twenty years later, a kid discovers and befriends it. Diesel's »
