Kristen Wiig's Movie Career: How Other 'SNL' Alums Have Fared
20 May 2012 10:52 PM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
From Eddie Murphy to Will Ferrell and Tim Meadows, 'SNL' has a checkered record of minting movie stars.

Since its debut 37 years ago, "Saturday Night Live" has done two things incredibly well: skewer the day's headlines with a twisted, acid perspective and serve as a launching pad for some of the biggest careers in movie comedy history.
And following her tearful final spin on Saturday night's season finale, it appears clear that the show's ace player, "Bridesmaids" star Kristen Wiig, will be the latest breakout player to make a permanent leap from the stage at Studio 8H to movie stardom. Wiig has already tasted success with an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay for "Bridesmaids," and she has at least half a dozen features in various stages of shooting and development.

Cannes Updates

This good looking chap is Douglas Booth. He’s playng Romeo in an upcoming adaptation of the Shakespeare drama, with Hailee Steinfeld as Julie. Booth, Ed Westwick and producer Julian Fellowes held a party celebrating the wrap of the film, which has a February launch date for next year.
It will do better than a good number of Cannes films which often get distribution but not a lot of eyeballs.
One Cannes film that many will see is the most commercial film here, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted. The film with the least aspirations of the three so far, M3:emw, is a colorful, noisy carnival that frankly left me cold and bored. The main stars were in Cannes to promote it, however, including Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Martin Short (he plays a seal) and Jessica Chastain, who »

[Cannes Review] Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted
19 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
In this third installment of the massively popular Dreamworks children’s franchise Madagascar 3, the director trio team of Eric Darnell, Tom McGrath and Conrad Vernon team up with writer Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale). The result is a surprisingly well-made circus of color that bursts at the seams with great visual gags. It’s usually the third film in animated trilogies where filmmakers typically get lazy, but there is a lot of effort to detail and storytelling to keep things moving here. The heaviest criticism to levy against a film intended for children is the lack of a moral compass and excessive (and sometimes disturbing) cartoonish violence, preventing Madagascar 3 from being a total knockout.
For those unfamiliar with the previous two films in the series, Madagascar centers around a quartet of escaped zoo animals led by an adventurous-but-shy Lion named Alex (Ben Stiller). He and his three friends, »

Cannes: ‘Madagascar 3’ Summons Celebs; Jackie Chan Retires From Action
19 May 2012 8:36 AM, PDT | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
All I heard was a voice, and I knew that Chris Rock was behind me. My third day in Cannes was full of surprises, but that was not one of them since I was about to walk into the press conference for "Madagascar 3." While an unlikely choice for a film at Cannes, the animated feature, which was playing out of competition, was the celebrity event of choice. All of the stars and more were in attendance, including Jada Pinkett Smith, Ben Stiller, Jessica Chastain, Chris Rock, Martin Short, and David Schwimmer. "We went to opening night and saw our cartoon, and we thought 'Do we deserve to be here?'" co-director Tom McGrath asked at the press conference. "But the great thing about Cannes is that it's a festival for all kinds of films." The movie is in 3D, and McGrath said that they wanted "to create something surreal, abstract, »

‘Madagascar 3′ And A ‘Big Brother’ Movie Premiere In Cannes
18 May 2012 5:04 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
On the third day of the Cannes Film Festival it was a day for familiar names taking the spotlight on the famed Palais steps. First up tonight was the return of DreamWorks Animation. One way or another DreamWorks Animation honcho Jeffrey Katzenberg finds a way to bring his latest product to the Croisette, whether in the form of a press stunt, junket, competition or as was the case tonight with out-of-competition entry Magagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted which debuted in the prime 7:30Pm slot on the first Friday of the festival. Of course with the sequel using nearby Monte Carlo as a key backdrop for the action, and Europe in its title, this was a no-brainer for Cannes Fest director Thierry Fremaux who has repeatedly called DreamWorks Animation a “friend of the festival” and loves having a fun 3D movie toon in the mix.

'Madagascar 3' Stars Ben Stiller, Chris Rock Squirm in Cannes

It's hard, at the artsiest film festival of all, to get a bunch of celebrities to talk about their happiest moments as voice actors in a successful cartoon franchise. So during a half-hour news conference with “Madagascar 3” stars Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada-Pinkett Smith, Jessica Chastain and Martin Short, they ended up taking a survey on their family's circus attendance. The film involves a European circus. Schwimmer said he had a one-year-old so, no, he hadn’t gone. Pinkett-Smith said that she should have gone with her kids, but said she hadn’t. Short said »

18 May 2012 10:04 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The "Arrested Development" movie is still a ways off, but one celebrity is already making it known she'd be down for a cameo. Charlize Theron, who appeared in Season 3 of the cult-favorite comedy told VH1 she'd "love" to come by for a day and reprise her role of Rita Leeds.
"It was one of my favorite experiences I've ever had," Theron told VH1 while promoting "Snow White and the Huntsman."
Theron's Rita appeared in five episodes of "Arrested Development" as a love interest of sorts for Michael Bluth.
Netflix is reviving the series for a fourth season to stream exclusively on the Internet service with a film to follow. Series creator Mitch Hurwtiz was recently spotted at work on the Maeby episode of the new season. Each character will get a spotlight episode in the new 10-episode season leading up to the film. "Arrested Development" Season 4 is set to debut »

In theaters on June 8, Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo, and Melman the Giraffe are still fighting to get home to their beloved Big Apple and of course, King Julien, Maurice and the Penguins are all along for the comedic adventure.

The global success of 2005.s .Madagascar. and its lively 2008 sequel .Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa,. proved that while the films were broad comedies with plenty of action, they were, above all, well-told stories with universal themes audiences related to. For the filmmakers, it was never enough to just go for the laughs.

Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer Get Photo-Bombed in Cannes

It was a reunion of old (and news) pals when Ben Stiller, Jada Pinkett, Chris Rock and David Schwimmer gathered for the photo call for Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes. "Schwim," Rock (who plays Marty the zebra) yelled when arriving at the same time as his Melman the giraffe costar. But it was Stiller who unknowingly doubled up on "Schwim" as his Alex the lion character photo-bombed the two as they made their way down the Croisette. When the cast, which also included Jessica Chastain and Martin Short, walked out onto the terrace to be photographed, »

Bringing Down the House Blu-ray Review
15 May 2012 12:39 PM, PDT | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »
The Movie Pool blames Steve Martin and Queen Latifah for Bringing Down the House on Blu-ray!
The Set-up
A convict (Latifah) horns her way into an attorney's (Martin) life, causing a clash of cultures, but the two slowly begin to learn from each other.
Directed by: Adam Shankman
The Delivery
One might think that a film featuring the comedic talents of Steve Martin, Eugene Levy, and Queen Latifah would be a sure-fire hit, but Hollywood has taught us that they are experts at ruining a sure thing.
Bringing Down the House is an embarrassing film that could have set back race relations in America 30 years. The fact that Disney decided to release this on Blu-ray, yet holds back on Song of the South, frankly shocks me. This film makes Song of the South look like the March on Selma; it is that offensive.

Great New Stills & Production Shots From Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie
13 May 2012 4:30 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Tim Burton isn’t finished yet this year, in October we also get to see stop-motion Frankenweenie hit the big screen. Dark Shadows may be getting mixed reviews (read ours) but here, Burton returns to his roots for an idea that’s been festering for a bigger feature for 28 years, yes, since 1984 when a film short of Frankenweenie was Burton’s first steps into the cinematic world.
Today we feature news stills but also some great behind-the-scenes production shots, including Burton directing and Rick Heinrichs on the set, the production designer who has also worked on Sleepy Hollow, Captain America: The First Avenger and The Big Lebowski. I’d highly recommend checking out our previous coverage of Frankenweenie that includes the trailer and also an awesome, animated poster. For the moment, scroll down for the images:

The black and white, stop-motion animated 3D film Frankenweenie, from director Tim Burton and based on the ideas in his 1984 live-action short, is a heart-warming tale about a boy and his beloved dog. After unexpectedly losing Sparky, young Victor (voiced by Charlie Tahan) sews him back together and harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life, but quickly faces unintended and sometimes monstrous consequences for his actions. The voice cast also includes Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, Atticus Shaffer and Winona Ryder. During an early press day for the film, in which we got the chance to preview nearly 30 minutes of footage from the October 5th release, production designer Rick Heinrichs talked about his longtime collaboration and friendship with Tim Burton, what he loves about stop-motion animation, the process of taking the original drawings and turning them into three-dimensional figures, how the medium has changed with technology, »

Billy Eichner Talks "Billy on the Street," Joan Rivers, and Infuriating Spike Lee
10 May 2012 10:26 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Comedian Billy Eichner's pedestrian-attacking presence on the Fuse's Billy on the Street is not just funny, it's constantly jarring -- and extraordinary and life-affirming that way.
The gonzo game show combines Eichner's abrupt comic timing, love of pop culture, and tiny cash prizes. It capitalizes on his signature stage delirium, the style that the The New York Times once called "a theatrical phenomenon" in reviewing his 2005 fake late night talk show Creation Nation. Since then, his "Man on the Street" Q&As joined Funny Or Die's clip roster, and that recognition earned him his Fuse show. Since he's still shooting the show's new season, we thought we'd catch up with the delirious comic and discuss his friend Joan Rivers, his new enemy Spike Lee, and what it feels like to bombard Super Bowl-winning football players with questions about Madonna. Follow him on Twitter at @billyeichner and watch Billy on »
