Billy Crystal starring in 'The Comedians' pilot at FX, Larry Charles to direct
22 May 2013 12:35 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
FX is adding Billy Crystal to their stable of comedy stars, greenlighting the pilot "The Comedians" Crystal has been developing with Larry Charles ("Curb Your Enthusiasm"), Matt Nix ("Burn Notice") and Ben Wexler ("Arrested Development").
Charles (whose credits also include "Borat" and "Seinfeld") will direct the pilot, which stars Crystal as a comedy veteran who meets his match in an edgy young comedian on a late-night comedy sketch show. That will presumably give Crystal the opportunity to showcase some of the sketch comedy skills he demonstrated in his season as a regular on "Saturday Night Live."
Crystal's TV resume also includes a series regular gig on the late '70s comedy "Soap" and winning six Emmy awards, including four for his frequent hosting of the Academy Awards.
"It truly is an honor to be in business with Billy Crystal and Larry Charles, two of the all-time greats in comedy," FX »

FX Orders a Pilot for Billy Crystal Comedy 'The Comedians,' Written by Larry Charles
22 May 2013 11:59 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
At its upfront presentation in March, FX announced that it was launching a new channel, Fxx, focused on comedy. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," "The League," "Legit" and "Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell" will shift to the sister network when it launches this fall, but there will also obviously be more room for new originals on both. And one of those could by "The Comedians," a half-hour, single-camera comedy starring Billy Crystal as a showbiz veteran who gets paired with an edgy up-and-comer on a late-night sketch show. "The Comedians" pilot will be directed by Larry Charles ("Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Borat"), and is written and executive produced by Charles, Crystal, Matt Nix ("Burn Notice") and Ben Wexler ("Community"). It's produced by Fox Television Studios and is an adaptation of the Swedish series "Ulveson and Herngren," which was a mockumentary starring Johan Ulveson and Felix Herngren as themselves.

Fast & Furious 6: has auto mayhem crashed The Great Gatsby party?
22 May 2013 2:51 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Baz Luhrmann's high-society adaptation had little chance of surviving a box-office collision with the Fast & Furious franchise
The winner
It's not unusual for film franchises to hit their commercial stride with the second or third installment: Austin Powers and Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy are a couple of notable examples. But it's rare for a series to keep on building as it matures into its fourth, fifth and sixth episodes, as Fast & Furious has done. The first three films in the franchise all opened below £3m in the UK, before the fourth picture, confusingly called just Fast & Furious, debuted with a shade under £5m in 2009. Fast & Furious 5 pushed a little further two years later, kicking off with £5.33m, including £1.30m in previews. Now Fast & Furious 6 arrives, screaming out of the starting block with a stunning £8.72m. That's enough to make it already the third-biggest Fast & Furious film at the UK box office, »

Interview With Ken Jeong On The Hangover Part III
21 May 2013 3:02 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Ken Jeong has experienced a quite the rise to fame over the last couple of years. After catching his first big break in Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up, the doctor turned actor went on to make films like Role Models, Pineapple Express, Step Brothers and more. Then, in 2009, director Todd Phillips cast Jeong as Mr. Chow in The Hangover and the rest is, as they say, history.
This week The Hangover Part III heads into theatres and Jeong once again reprises his role as the series’ villain. Though his part was more of a supporting one in the first two outings, this time he has a much larger role as the entire story basically revolves around him. He has a ton of screen time and is funnier than ever.
Recently, Ken Jeong was in Toronto to promote the film and we had the chance to catch up with him for a bit. »

Hollywood's 13 Best Commencement Speeches
21 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Some of us just yawned and obsessed over the ticking of the clock during our far-too-long commencement speeches. Whatever maniac decided that so-and-so's wife's something or other who didn’t even graduate is equipped to send students off with a 30-minute diatribe on themselves is sorely mistaken. Just dole out the degrees already and call a day a day, right, kids? Unless ...
You know, every so often schools are able to wrangle in someone actually interesting to deliver a few notes of wisdom — some more often than others (cough Harvard cough). Even better, once in a while they're our very shiniest movie stars who make lots of funnies and deliver all the feels and suddenly the speeches don't seem so bad.
Here's a tip-o'-the-grad cap to whoever lined up these 13 awesome movie star speeches. Fair warning: This may enhance the bore factor of your regular, non-famous speaker. Sorry 'bout that. »

21 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Will Ferrell and the cast of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues have been spotted shooting the comedy in New York.
The sequel, which opens in cinemas on December 20, will follow San Diego's Channel 4 news team as they must adjust to 24-hour rolling news coverage.
The New York pictures reveal a cameo role for rapper Drake, the four stars recreating The Beatles' Abbey Road album cover and the suggestion of a battle scene to rival the first film's epic showdown.
Alongside Ferrell's Ron Burgundy, returning cast members include Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner and Christina Applegate.
Harrison Ford will feature as a legendary newscaster, while Kristen Wiig, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Liam Neeson, Sacha Baron Cohen, Nicole Kidman and Kanye West will also have parts in the film.

Anchorman Sequel Pics Stay Classy: Drake's Afro, Will Ferrell's and Christina Applegate's Furs, Steve Carell's Cone
20 May 2013 2:40 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
At this point, who isn't in the Anchorman sequel? Drake made his presence known in Anchorman: The Legend Continues today, the rapper getting snapped on set sporting an Afro and retro sideburns. He joins Kanye West, Jim Carrey, Harrison Ford, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Sacha Baron Cohen, Nicole Kidman and Kirsten Dunst—among others—in the cameo-laden film. And then there are the usual suspects, of course. Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone are together again in the form of Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate, spotted in fur-trimmed coats outside Radio City Music Hall, Applegate's winged hair a-flyin'.

Drake Dons Incredibly Fake-Looking Afro, Shoots 'Anchorman 2' Cameo
20 May 2013 8:43 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Will Ferrell's "Anchorman" sequel's subtitle might be "The Legend Continues" but it should probably be re-dubbed "A Series Of Potentially Distracting Cameo Appearances" (although that would be really hard to fit on the marquee). Kanye West, Tina Fey, Kristin Wiig, Nicole Kidman, Sacha Baron Cohen, Amy Poehler (whom "Anchorman" die hards will remember had a sizable role in the first film, only to see her entire subplot deleted from the final product), Liam Neeson, John C. Reilly, Jim Carrey and Harrison Ford have all shot cameos for the hotly anticipated sequel (also: an animatronic shark).
The latest celebrity to be roped into this cameo feeding frenzy? None other than Canadian rapper Drake.
The hip hop-er and former "Degrassi: The Next Generation" cast member was spotted on the New York midtown location shoot, wearing a ridiculously fake-looking afro, long seventies-era sideburns, a Members Only jacket and a T-shirt embossed by »

Drake popped up on the set of Anchorman: The Legend Continues sporting an Afro for an afternoon in front of the cameras in NYC on Saturday. He joined the original cast - including Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, and David Koechner - who were also on hand for the day of filming. Drake isn't the only star making a cameo in the film since Tina Fey and Amy Poehler shot scenes with Sacha Baron Cohen in Atlanta earlier this month, and Liam Neeson, John C. Reilly, Kirsten Dunst, and Harrison Ford have also gotten in front of the cameras for the sequel. There's even more star power to come with Kristen Wiig and Nicole Kidman also signed on to make appearances. View Slideshow › »

5 Movie Duos Who Need To Stop Working Together
20 May 2013 2:18 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Actor/director collaborations have been behind some of the most respected and revered works to come out of Hollywood. For a select few, the meeting of the minds between a director’s ambition and an actor’s execution can be cinematic gold – for others it can quickly become out-dated, obsolete and just plain boring.
There are those who – for lack of a better analogy – need to stop working altogether (Adam Sandler and Dennis Dugan come to mind) and then there are those who were once capable of greatness but have since faded to insignificance. These aren’t bad filmmaker’s per se; rather talented individuals guilty of resting on their laurels and creating redundant films, perhaps.
Here are the top 5 movie duos who – for the sake of their careers – need to stop working together…

Anchorman 2′s Latest Teaser Trailer is Still Classy, Brick-larious
19 May 2013 7:50 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Take a gander at the latest teaser trailer for Will Ferrell’s “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues”, because what’s more legendary than Ron Burgundy and his ’70s swing-tastic fashion sense? I guess his pals’ fashion sense might come a close second. Especially Brick. Oh, that Brick. He’s, you know, not too smart, that one. He ain’t gots da brain, I guess you could say. As for the plot of the sequel, well, who the hell knows. But I suspect it’ll involve anchormen throwdowns, gang warfare, and possibly a bear wrestling match or two. (Or not.) Everyone is back for the sequel, including some new faces, including Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, David Koechner, Kirsten Dunst, Nicole Kidman, James Marsden, Sacha Baron Cohen, Vince Vaughn, John C. Reilly, Christina Applegate, Meagan Good, Jim Carrey, Harrison Ford, and Liam Neeson. Keeping it classy this December 30, 2013. Get »
