Universal Pictures International Entertainment has acquired all foreign rights to Tom Shadyac's life-affirming documentary I Am from Mimi Steinbauer's Radiant Film International.

Watch: Morgan Spurlock’s Male Grooming Doc With Jason Bateman & Will Arnett Gets First Clips & Distribution
5 April 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
When the Tribeca 2012 Festival line-up got announced, I was initially surprised to see a new documentary from Morgan Spurlock. After all, he was just coming off The Greatest Movie Ever Sold last year and gearing up to release his Comic-Con doc, but I suppose it should be no surprise the man works as hard as he does. His latest feature, Mansome, follows the often unspoken topic of male grooming.
Variety reports that the film has been picked up by Paladin, the distributor behind Tom Shadyac’s I Am. They plan a release in May for the film that is produced by Arrested Development stars Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, who also appear in the doc alongside Paul Rudd, Zach Galifianakis, Adam Carolla, Judd Apatow and John Waters. Tribeca also has the first three clips from the film, which can be seen below while we await news on Spurlock’s next film, »

How The Nutty Professor Explains Eddie Murphy's Entire Film Career
15 March 2012 2:36 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Pretty much every time Eddie Murphy releases a film like A Thousand Words, Imagine That, Meet Dave or even Daddy Daycare, the critical world at large starts wondering out loud about whether we'll ever see the 'return of funny Eddie,' which is of course code for 'R-rated Eddie Murphy.' The implication is, of course, that Murphy's more family-friendly work isn't funny, which is true (Meet Dave, The Haunted Mansion) about as often as it's false (Shrek, Dr. Doolittle). But what these pundits fail to realize is two-fold. First of all, we've been wondering when the Eddie Murphy of old will return longer than he was around in the first place. Second of all, that persona is dead. Dead and buried, and Mr. Murphy killed it himself right onscreen in front of us 16 years ago. The very film that launched his most recent 'comeback' is the film that revolved »

'Game Change' Director Jay Roach Follows Agent Dan Aloni to Wme
13 March 2012 4:21 PM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Jay Roach, the director of all three "Austin Powers" movies, among others, is the latest producer-director to follow Dan Aloni to Wme from CAA. Wme confirmed to TheWrap on Tuesday that the "Game Change" director (below) has moved to the agency. CAA fired Aloni on Feb. 29. "The Dark Knight" writer-director Christopher Nolan, who followed Aloni from UTA to CAA, was the first of Aloni's clients to move with the agent to Wme. He left CAA the same day as Aloni.

Wme Signs Mike Myers, Another Dan Aloni Client
12 March 2012 12:45 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Mike Myers has just left CAA and moved to Wme. No big drama, I’m told. He simply followed his agent, Dan Aloni, who moved from CAA to become a Wme partner. Wme’s quick move to bring Aloni into the fold has changed the complexion of Wme’s lit roster. He brought in Chris Nolan, Tom Shadyac, Michel Gondry, Raja Gosnell, Mandeville Films, Jonathan Mostow, Dean Parisot, Neal Moritz, Andy Fleming and David and Ian Purchase. Others in play include David Dobkin, Jim Carrey, Charles Roven and Jay Roach. Myers has several projects percolating, including another Austin Powers film. While The Love Guru didn’t work for Myers, when you have a guy who can create characters the way that Myers has in franchises like Austin Powers and Wayne’s World, that’s a business you want to be in.

Wme is racking up new top-name director clients now that Dan Aloni has joined the agency. In the week since rival agency CAA fired Aloni, directors Andrew Fleming, Michel Gondry, Raja Gosnell, Jonathan Mostow, Dean Parisot, David Purchase, Ian Purchase and Tom Shadyac have defected to Wme. The day CAA fired Aloni, "The Dark Knight" writer-director Christopher Nolan -- who followed Aloni from UTA to CAA -- said he was going with his agent.

Who’s Coming To Wme With Dan Aloni?
7 March 2012 5:14 PM, PST | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: After Dan Aloni exited CAA and was quickly named a Wme partner, the big question was how many of the clients he worked with would jump. Deadline told you that his biggest client, Chris Nolan, declared before Aloni landed that he was staying with his longtime agent wherever he went. I’m hearing that aside from The Dark Knight Rises director, Aloni clients who’ve moved from CAA to Wme so far are Tom Shadyac, Michel Gondry, Raja Gosnell, Mandeville Films, Jonathan Mostow, Dean Parisot, Neal Moritz, Andy Fleming and David and Ian Purchase. Several other clients are still in play, including David Dobkin, Jim Carrey, Charles Roven and Jay Roach. More to come. »

Dan Aloni has joined Wme as a partner in the motion picture department. Sources close to the agency say the deal with Aloni closed Friday evening. Star Aloni client Christopher Nolan is expected to join the Wme ranks as well. It's unclear which of Aloni's other clients will also be joining him. He has worked with Jim Carrey, David Dobkin, Michel Gondry, David Goyer, Mandeville Films, Mike Myers, Neal Moritz, Dean Parisot, Jay Roach, Chuck Roven and Tom Shadyac. Aloni joins Wme from CAA, where he had been since 2005. Aloni was fired earlier this week amid complaints about

Former CAA Agent Dan Aloni Joins Wme As Partner
2 March 2012 6:25 PM, PST | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Shocker! Chris Nolan’s Agent Dan Aloni Fired From CAA: Chris Nolan Exits CAA; Will Follow Agent Dan Aloni Wherever He Goes Exclusive: Two days after his shocking firing from CAA, top motion picture lit agent Dan Aloni has joined rival Wme as a partner in its motion picture department. It has not been determined yet which clients will follow Aloni to Wme, but the agent’s highest-profile client, director Chris Nolan, had made it clear he would follow him wherever he goes. Throughout his career, Aloni also has worked with Jim Carrey, David Dobkin, Michel Gondry, David Goyer, Mandeville Films, Mike Meyers, Neil Moritz, Dean Parisot, Jay Roach, Chuck Roven and Tom Shadyac. Aloni spent the last 7 years at CAA. Before that, he was at UTA for 11 years. »

Shocker! Chris Nolan’s Agent Dan Aloni Fired From CAA
29 February 2012 11:24 AM, PST | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Update: I’m told that as of right now, Aloni’s top client Chris Nolan has not left the CAA fold. We’ll have to wait and see if that changes. There is speculation that Aloni could perhaps become a manager, or that he would land at Wme. If the latter move is going to happen, it hasn’t yet because even that agency was caught off guard by what happened. I’ve also heard that no matter what happens, CAA is looking at a huge commission cushion from Nolan’s Inception, Batman trilogy and Superman, which he’s producing. The prospect of that revenue made it easier to decide life’s too short, which is evidently what happened between CAA and Aloni. Previous Exclusive: In a major and surprising development, Dan Aloni has left CAA abruptly. I’m told it was the result of an eroding relationship with the agency and his coworkers. »

36 Things We Learned From the ‘Ace Ventura: Pet Detective’ Commentary
20 January 2012 6:48 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Before he directed Patch Adams – I’m pretty sure that little nugget of information will rear its head again further down this article – Tom Shadyac had a strong hand in making Jim Carrey the man he is today. Shadyac directed Ace Venture: Pet Detective, the film that essentially launched Carrey’s career into super stardom and eventually landed him a few $20m paying jobs. Shadyac, on the other hand, was easy to get for the film’s commentary track. And that’s what we’re doing for this week’s Commentary Commentary. Here’s hoping it’s loaded with deep analysis on the character and the slaps in the face Shadyac had to give Carrey in order for the performance to bleed through. Who am I kidding? There’s probably plenty of laughter and talking about the first time he saw Carrey talking out of his ass. Let’s find out, shall »

Bruce Almighty Sequel Being Written for Jim Carrey
11 January 2012 7:50 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Last year Jim Carrey hinted that sequels for two of his more well-known films would be in development soon. We already know that there's a Dumb and Dumber sequel in the works and now it looks like a true sequel to Bruce Almighty will come to pass as well. Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel (Hot Tub Time Machine, Yes Men) are currently in talks with Universal to write the follow-up, which will be another starring vehicle for Carrey again. In 2007, moviegoers saw the release of Evan Almighty, a spin-off film starring Steve Carell that didn't come close to the original's $500 million worldwide gross. With Carrey back in the spotlight, Universal will be hoping to repeat their success. Both the studio and Carrey could certainly use a hit. One person who probably won't be returning for the sequel is director Tom Shadyac, who helmed both the original and spin-off. After suffering »

Bruce Almighty Sequel in the Works For Jim Carrey
10 January 2012 9:30 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Universal Pictures is prepping a Bruce Almighty sequel for Jim Carrey. Variety reports that the studio is intent on moving forward with a sequel to the 2003 film.The first film was a huge hit at the box office, raking in $500 million worldwide. The studio has hired Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel (Hot Tub Time Machine, Yes Man) to write the script.
At this time it is not known if Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Aniston would return. Tom Shadyac has not directed a scripted film since Evan Almighty, but it would be cool to see him back in the director's chair.
Not many people liked Evan Almighty, but it was not bad. I am a bit biased since I am a huge fan of Steve Carrell. I did not really like Bruce Almighty, one of my least favorite Carrey films. I could take or leave this sequel.

Jim Carrey's God Complex Returns for 'Bruce Almighty' Sequel
10 January 2012 8:00 AM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Jim Carrey has spent plenty of time playing God in the past decade in the fight against vaccines with now ex-girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, but it seems like he's finally ready to keep the God complex where it belongs: on screen.
Slash Film reports that screenwriters Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel are penning a sequel to 2003 hit "Bruce Almighty," featuring Carrey in the lead role
In the first film, which took in nearly $500 million worldwide despite mixed reviews from critics, Carrey played down-on-his luck TV reporter Bruce Nolan whose protestations about the way God (Morgan Freeman) does business earn him a temporary stint as the big man himself.
Steve Carrell, who played Carrey's work nemesis, Evan Baxter, in the original movie, was given the lead in the dismally performing 2007 pseudo-sequel, "Evan Almighty," in which Morgan Freeman reprised his role as God.
While Carrey's participation in the film has not yet been confirmed, »

Heaven sent? Jim Carrey set for Bruce Almighty sequel

Universal in talks to follow up Carrey's 2003 hit, this time with Yes Man writers Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel
Brace yourself for the second coming: Jim Carrey is set to star in a sequel to his 2003 hit Bruce Almighty. Universal is in talks to bring back the story of frustrated television reporter Bruce, who is granted omnipotence by God, played by Morgan Freeman.
The original film ends with Bruce willingly returning his powers and proposing to girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston).
According to Variety, the studio have enlisted Yes Man writers Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel to work on the next instalment.
Bruce Almighty made over $485m (£313m) at the box office and is Carrey's highest grossing film ever, after 2000's How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Carrey's last film, Mr Popper's Penguins, made just under $187m.
In 2007, Universal released Bruce spin-off Evan Almighty, a retelling of the story of Noah's Ark, »
Universal Prepares a True ‘Bruce Almighty’ Sequel
9 January 2012 5:40 PM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
Its true that Bruce Almighty was a big enough hit that Universal Pictures wanted a sequel. And its also true that even with the same director, Tom Shadyac, at the helm, that Evan Almighty was a flop, so massively large that it forced the director to not only go into retirement but disappear off the face of the earth. Where is Shadyac anyway?
But that is besides the point. Universal and Jim Carrey’s team are working together with Jarrad Paul, Andrew Mogel, and Nicholas Stoller have been hired to write the “true sequel” to the film that once had the potential to be a franchise hit. So far the only detail we have on the movie is that it will follow Jim Carrey’s news reporter character.

True ‘Bruce Almighty’ Sequel Being Written For Jim Carrey
9 January 2012 4:44 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
The 2003 film Bruce Almighty was one of Jim Carrey's last bona-fide hits, and also a movie that went just about as literal as possible with the idea that Morgan Freeman is God. Bruce was big enough that spinning the story off into a semi-sequel, Evan Almighty, seemed like a good idea. Evan was a flop, and a massively expensive one, at that. Now there is a direct sequel to Bruce Almighty in development; rather than mucking around with another character, this one seeks to put Jim Carrey front and center once more. Variety [1] says that Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel, credited alongside Nicholas Stoller on Yes Man and writers on the in-development Danny McBride film Bullies, will write the sequel. The idea is to follow Carrey's TV reporter once more, but we don't have any hard and fast story details. The plan, for both Universal and Jim Carrey's team, »
