The Top 5 'Between Two Ferns' Episodes So Far

18 hours ago | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Here lies a true fact: There have only been 17 total episodes of Zach Galifianakis' "Between Two Ferns." Doesn't that surprise you? Meaning, it surprises me, so shouldn't it surprise you?

The esteemed Funny or Die web series has made such a massive comedic impact in such a limited amount of time that the idea that it exists as only a mere 80ish minutes of total running time is downright absurd. And here's the kicker: They're all gold. There's not a single episode of Btf that one would call "weak," just "weaker than the exceptional."

The following episodes are the exceptional.

5. Jon Hamm

If your intent is to find the ideal episode to introduce someone to the Btf series for the first time, the one with Jon Hamm might be your best bet. Of all episodes that don't feature some extreme outlier, be it overt weirdness, overt cruelty, a musical performance midway through the interview, »

Red-Band Trailer for 'This is the End'

20 hours ago | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

The world is ending this summer, according to movie studios. Before fall, we can look forward to This is the End, The World's End, and Rapture-palooza, three comedy/sci-fi hybrids about the apocalypse.

The new, red-band trailer (for language) for Seth Rogan's This is the End has just hit the interwebz. Celebrities like Rogan, Paul Rudd, Jason Segal, and Michael Cera are attending a party at James Franco's house when the apocalypse begins. Seems about right. The new trailer focuses on giant demons and a possessed Jonah Hill. Color me intrigued.

‘Arrested Development’ Gains 3 Times As Much Buzz As ‘House Of Cards’

23 May 2013 6:51 AM, PDT | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »

The fourth season of Arrested Development will be released this coming Sunday, May 26th, with hundreds of thousands of rabid fans eagerly awaiting its arrival. According to a report in Variety that cites data from social media analytics company NetBase, the upcoming debut has generated three times as much social media buzz as was generated in the lead up to the release of House of Cards. Per the report: "So far, Arrested Development has garnered 170,431 social interactions (77% positive, 23% negative) since April 26, compared with 51,045 for House of Cards (68% positive, 32% negative) in the 30 days leading up to its Feb. 1 premiere. For “Ad,” Jason Bateman (and his character, Michael Bluth) is the most-cited talent, followed by Michael Cera and Tony Hale." Given House of Cards' success, Netflix has to be very excited about the social media hype, which projects that Arrested Development will be an even bigger step towards legitimizing the platform. »

Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat talk about returning to the roles of loving cousins for 'Arrested Development'

22 May 2013 11:50 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

When I first heard about "Arrested Development," the synopsis I read included a description of the relationship between George Michael Bluth (Michael Cera) and Maeby Funke (Alia Shawkat), and my first thought was that it sounded incredibly tasteless and silly. Now, of course, I'd say the opposite. I think the way the relationship between the two of them has been handled over the course of the show speaks to the way Mitchell Hurwitz and his amazing writing staff handle even the most difficult material. George Michael and Maeby are better people than any of the adults in their families. Maeby is »

Apocalyptic Red-Band Spot for This Is The End - Tripping

22 May 2013 5:05 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Sony Pictures has released an amusing red-band spot for the apocalyptic comedy This is the End, which stars Seth Rogan, James Franco, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Michael Cera, Jason Segel, Emma Watson, and a bunch of other cameos. 

The latest spot features a good amount of new footage featuring a monstrous Devil, Hill being possessed by a demon, and more. I'm thinking that this might end up being one of the funniest movies of the year. I've been hearing nothing but good things about it. 

This is the End comes to theaters on June 14th, 2013!

The Guys From This Is The End Want Some Likes

22 May 2013 4:07 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

On June 12th, Seth Rogen and a bunch of his closest friends (Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Michael Cera, James Franco and more) are going to party like there’s no tomorrow in This Is The End. The film sees a huge gang of celebrities attend a party at Mr. Franco’s house only to discover that the world is about to come to an end that very night. It’s a great concept and all the promo footage that we’ve seen thus far looks hilarious.

Today, Sony has released a new video for the film featuring its stars pleading for some more Facebook likes. Once their page hits a certain number of likes, additional videos will be released. 500,000 likes will let you see Danny McBride wax Seth Rogen’s back while 800,000 likes will give you the chance to witness Rogen paining Franco in the nude.

It’s clever marketing »

Video: Arrested Development Cast on the Brazen, 'Banged-Up' and Possibly Blue-d Bluths

Break out those Cornballers and dust off your best Chicken Dance moves: Arrested Development is back!

Courtesy of Netflix, the long-gone cult comedy (finally) returns this Sunday, May 26 with 15 all-new installments — but what can faithful followers of the Bluths (and Funkes) expect out of the revived series?

TVLine posed that very question to Arrested vets Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, David Cross, Jessica Walter, Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat during a recent round of interviews, and their answers might surprise you.

Michael Cera’s ‘Gregory Go Boom’ Is Saddest Comedy Week Video

22 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »

Jash has taken a leading role during YouTube Comedy Week, so it's no surprise that the channel's stars are out in full force during the event. Sarah Silverman, Reggie Watts, and Tim & Eric all appeared during Sunday's live show, and today, Michael Cera pitched in his effort: Gregory Go Boom, a mostly-serious short film where Cera plays a young man confined to a wheelchair. It's easy to write off Gregory Go Boom as simply "Michael Cera playing his usual role, albeit in a wheelchair," but that's not entirely the case. Sure, Gregory is the same awkward, fumbling young man that Cera has played in several other features. However, this is one of Cera's most mature and dramatic roles, filled with real emotion. As many commenters have noted, Gregory Go Boom probably shouldn't be a part of YouTube Comedy Week, given the fact that it's more of a character study and »

Watch: Michael Cera Is Like a Sadder and Angrier Napoleon Dynamite in 'Gregory Go Boom'

22 May 2013 2:50 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »

It may be a bit weird to launch this short film during YouTube Comedy Week because it's about as dark as any recent dark comedy we've seen, and it's certainly not what you'd expect from someone like Michael Cera. But this is exactly why Gregory Go Boom is worth watching, if only to see the gradual rebirth of an actor who seemed to disappear when his dorky, nerdy shtick became too tiring and too repetitive for mainstream audiences. Now Cera is back tackling random projects with various friends, appearing recently on the festival circuit in two odd, eccentric films (Magic Magic, Crystal Fairy), and now in this short (from writer-director Janicza Bravo) where he plays a paraplegic with no friends and no life who sets off on three dates in the hopes of making an...

6 Things We Should Expect from Arrested Development: Season 4

22 May 2013 12:57 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Arrested Development returns this Sunday for a fourth season after a seven-year absence.  Ever since the announcement of season four (and a possible movie), I've felt a mix of excitement and anxiety.  Season 3 ends on a great note.  It brings the series full-circle, and has Michael (Jason Bateman) realizing that there's really no saving his family, and it's time to start the Bluth legacy anew with the timid but good-hearted George Michael (Michael Cera).  Will Season 4 find a way to reopen this story?  Will it find a way to at least meet the thematic strength of the final episode?  And most importantly, will it possess the same qualities that made the show such a hit?  We know these characters, and we can all quote our favorite lines, but Arrested Development is so much more. Hit the jump for six things we might expect from the upcoming season of Arrested Development, »

'Arrested Development' Salaries Revealed

22 May 2013 12:27 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

The revival of "Arrested Development" isn't your typical TV story. The entire cast reunited for new Netflix episodes, but not all at once, making it a tricky production and because of the way it was made, the cast of "Arrested Development" received an unusal salary breakdown, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Season 4 of "Arrested Development" is formatted with each character at the focus of at least one episode -- some have two. THR reports that therefore, each actor -- Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Tony Hale, Will Arnett, Portia de Rossi, Alia Shawkat, David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor and Jessica Walter -- received $125,00 for the episode she/he stars in. If the actor appears in more than 90 seconds of another actor's episode, they received $50,000. If it's less than 90 seconds, the actor received $10,000. If a clip from a previous episode is used, the actor received $1,000. Bateman is the only actor to appear in every episode. »

Watch: Michael Cera Plays a Paraplegic in New Short Film 'Gregory Go Boom'

22 May 2013 9:19 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »

Though officially a part of YouTube's ongoing Comedy Week, Michael Cera's appearance in the new short film "Gregory Go Boom" also works as an unofficial warm-up for this weekend's new season of "Arrested Development." That's not to say George Michael Bluth has suffered a Buster-esque accident with a seal -- the new video from director Janicza Bravo ("Eat") is just one way to get used to seeing 25-year-old Cera after watching so much of 15-year-old Cera during your marathon sessions of "Ad" viewing. (You have been watching, right?) Cera executive produced and stars in the film as a paraplegic looking for love in California's Salton Sea. This bleak premise as well as the ominous trailer hint at some dark themes, but there's bound to be a few laughs -- seeing as it's Comedy Week and all.  Cera recently released his directorial debut, the short film "Brazzaville Teen-Ager," that also premiered as a Jash video. »

‘This is the End’ Clip: Emma Watson’s Apocalypse Theories

21 May 2013 9:24 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

In This is the End, some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities gather for an epic party at James Franco’s house, when an unexplained apocalyptic event suddenly strikes Los Angeles, killing many of our favorite stars in hilarious ways. The bevy of talented comedic actors playing versions of themselves in this extreme situation - including Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride and others –  has made the film one of the more anticipated of the summer.

Though the setup is intriguing and potentially very funny, the slew of surprising big-name cameos is also helping the film generate plenty of interest.

In the red and green-band trailers for the film, we’ve seen Michael Cera get skewered by a pole, pop-superstar Rihanna fall into a ...

'"Arrested Development" Fans Are More Passionate Than "Big Bang" Fans'

21 May 2013 9:22 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

New York — Portia de Rossi only believed it was happening when her agent got the good news from the producers. Michael Cera only believed it was happening when the cameras rolled.

It happened all right. After years of clamoring from fans and rumors firing them up while the cast hung on for a green light, "Arrested Development" has risen from the dead with 15 half-hours premiering en masse on Netflix on Sunday at 3:01 a.m. Edt.

"Arrested Development" is the cock-eyed comedy blessed with a king's ransom of talent and the twisted vision of its mastermind, Matt Hurwitz, that aired on Fox for three seasons as a cult favorite, then was canceled for low ratings – and maybe because it befuddled everyone who wasn't hooked on its lunacy. (Those original three seasons are available for streaming on Netflix, too.)

Emma Watson Talks Zombie Invasion In This Is The End Clip

21 May 2013 6:08 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

In its red band trailer, the apocalypse comedy This is the End teased tons of carnage that will hilariously take the lives of celebs like Rihanna, Michael Cera, and Aziz Ansari. But most memorably, the Nsfw promo showcased Harry Potter star Emma Watson as a badass starlet/survivalist! With an axe she busted her way into James Franco's house/slapdash strong hold and scared the hell out of its stoner inhabitants (Franco, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, and Craig Robinson). In the latest clip, she shares with them what she has seen out in this world that is falling apart at the seams. Check it out above thanks to ScreenCrush. So what brand of world-ending disaster is overtaking Hollywood? According to Watson, it is obviously zombie invasion. That theory doesn't explain the horrific sinkholes and nightmare fuel creature sounds the trailers have teased so far. But »
