Mark Duplass is taking the lead role in HBO comedy pilot "Togetherness," which he is also writing, directing and executive producing with his brother Jay Duplass.

The Hollywood comedies keeping it in the family
2 May 2013 10:45 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Two new films, The Big Wedding and The Way, Way Back, come at the friction of family life in different ways – but only one of them handles the generation gap with maturity
This is a detail from the poster for The Big Wedding, a family comedy that came out in the Us last Friday and is released in the UK at the end of the month (click the magnifying glass for the whole thing).
Chances are that at least two people up there are some of the stars you cherish dearest, so I'll try not to dwell, but the fact is that The Big Wedding has not gone down well in the States. It currently has a 6% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes (though, on the upside, 93% of their readers still want to see it).
Its flaws are, curiously, somehow distilled on the poster. Watching it, you sense some sort of disconnect between the cast, »

You Can Go Ahead And Add Michael Shannon To The List Of Actors Cut Out Of 'To The Wonder'
30 April 2013 12:37 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
By now, Terrence Malick's tendency to enlist lots of big name stars to come hang out his sets, only to subsequently cut them out of the movie, is as legendary as his press shyness. In fact, we devoted a whole feature to that very topic. And his latest film, the divisive "To The Wonder" -- listen to our podcast about it here -- is no different. While the finished movie pivots around four characters played by Ben Affleck, Olga Kurylenko, Rachel McAdams and Javier Bardem, there were a handful who worked on the movie, in both big and small parts, that were ultimately cast aside including Rachel Weisz, Barry Pepper, Amanda Peet, Michael Sheen and Jessica Chastain. And now, you can add one more to that list. Speaking with BlackBook, Michael Shannon revealed that he too shot some scenes for the movie that were ultimately excised. "I worked with »

The show, written by actress Amanda Peet, centers on a woman (Danner) “forced to leave her life behind when husband’s Wall Street scam became headline news.

IFFBoston Review: The Way, Way Back
29 April 2013 11:59 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
From the opening scene of The Way, Way Back – the directorial debut of The Descendants co-writers Jim Rash and Nat Faxon – it’s obvious that we’re watching a movie that’s trying too hard. Way too hard.
The Way, Way Back follows Duncan (Liam James) a quiet, sulking teen, over a summer spent with his mom’s new boyfriend (Steve Carrel) at his beach house. Duncan is still reeling from his parents divorce, wary of the new boyfriend, and isolated from any friends his own age. Guess who’s going to come of age this summer??
This is a routine formula, but when done well, it can still be engaging and refreshing. In terms of its cast and crew, The Way, Way Back has all the ingredients necessary to be a more than satisfying picture. Yet hardly any of these pieces are used correctly. A stellar cast – including Steve Carrel, »

Hold Your Breath With New Poster For ‘The Way Way Back’
26 April 2013 1:39 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
First-time directing team Nat Faxon and Jim Rash know their way around alternative comedy on the TV but now their first feature The Way Way Back is already drawing positive feedback from early screenings and today we’ve got the first poster for the all-star cast comedy-drama. They’ve got quite the collection of screen-stars in the shape of Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell, Liam James, Toni Collette, Amanda Peet, and Maya Rudolph. The film is set over the course of his summer break, and a teenager comes into his own thanks in part to the friendship he strikes up with one of the park’s managers.
The trailer gives us that coming-of-age charm for the youngsters but when it is the producers of Little Miss Sunshine and Juno, we’ve got a lot of hope that this one is a good ‘un! Here’s the poster and trailer for this »

Duncan’s mother, Pam (Collette), alienates her young son through her determined efforts to make her relationship work with her carousing boyfriend (Carell) whose disingenuous attempts to build a family are immediately transparent to Duncan. »

While many know Clark Gregg for his work as the most beloved tertiary character in a multi-billion-dollar mega-movie-franchise, not everyone may be aware that the actor who played Agent Coulson in the Marvel films also has a knack for writing and directing. Having made his debut behind the camera with 2008′s Choke, an adaptation of the sex-fueled Chuck Palahniuk novel, Gregg premiered his latest feature, Trust Me, at the Tribeca Film Festival on Saturday. In it, he plays Howard, a lowly Hollywood agent who specializes in representing child stars. A number of recognizable names like Amanda Peet, Felicity Huffman, Allison Janney, »

'Being The Good Girl Doesn't Always Pay Off'
24 April 2013 10:51 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's decision time on "The Good Wife": Will Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) stand by her husband Peter (Chris Noth) or give into her temptations and rekindle her affair with Will (Josh Charles)?
"I thought it was so cut and dry when I started this show, that she should not be with Peter at all after his behavior," Margulies told The Huffington Post in a phone interview earlier in the week. "But then came this moral dilemma: Can one forgive? Can one move on? Is there such a thing as redeeming oneself? It's not a black-and-white case."
"The Good Wife" concludes Season 4 on Sunday, April 28 and the series will finally -- maybe? -- put the Alicia-Peter-Will love triangle to bed. The episode, titled "What's in the Box?," takes place over the span of 24-hours and features the results of the Illinois gubernatorial race that's gone on all season and Cary »

She's Down For A 'Desperate Housewives' Movie
23 April 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
HuffPost Entertianment nabbed a few minutes with Felicity Huffman on April 20 at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of "Trust Me," her new movie written and directed by Clark Gregg and co-starring Amanda Peet, Allison Janney and Sam Rockwell. The actress discussed what it's like to work with her husband, William H. Macy, the possibility of a "Desperate Housewives" movie and how far she'd go for Cate Blanchett.
You work with your husband William H. Macy frequently. He's currently directing you in a movie. Tell me a little bit about what that process is like.
I've worked with Bill my whole life. We met at a theater company and so I find it incredibly pleasurable. It's kind of like any sport you play -- if you play with someone that's above your level, your quality of game rises.
So do you guys bring work home with you as well? Or do »

Tribeca 2013: “Trust Me” cleverly combines satire and film noir
22 April 2013 10:23 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
USA, 2012
Written and Directed by Clark Gregg
From the first shot of Trust Me, Clark Gregg makes it obvious that his satirical picture owes a huge debt to Sunset Boulevard. Both are film noirs set in Hollywood that concern themselves with female actors clawing desperately at fame, but each is told from an opposite end of the spectrum. Billy Wilder’s classic memorably depicts an aging has-been desperate to reclaim her former glory, and Trust Me follows an up-and-coming starlet willing to go to any lengths to obtain celebrity. And the allusions just pile on after that.
Of course, neither of these films centers on the starlet. They are about the loveable losers cajoled into assisting their respective benefactors chase their lofty dreams. Clark Gregg plays the loser in Trust Me. His character, Howard, is a former child actor and current agent to child actors, who is accustomed to losing clients to bigger, »

Tribeca 2013: 13 must-see movies

Now in its 12th year, the Tribeca Film Festival is one of the premiere artistic showcases and industry marketplaces for independent cinema. Sundance might still be the place to go to discover new talent on the cheap, Toronto is the festival to generate Oscar buzz, but Tribeca has an eclectic mix that both reflects the soul of native New Yorkers and what the city means to the rest of the world as a cultural international capital. In between tonight’s opener — the music documentary Mistaken for Strangers about the National — and the closing night’s special screening of Martin Scorsese »
