Red-Band Trailer for 'This is the End'

3 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.

Seyfried & Stiller Team Up For ‘While We’re Young’

3 hours ago | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Noah Baumbach’s While We’Re Young is finally taking off, with news surfacing that Amanda Seyfried has signed onto the project, completing the ensemble cast.

Baumbach will be directing his Greenberg star Ben Stiller, who will feature as the husband of Naomi Watts. The pair feel that middle age has tied them down, but become reinvigorated when they meet freespirited, bohemian couple Seyfriend and Girls regular Adam Driver.

While We’Re Young is definitely a long time coming. Baumbach originally started planning his idea way back in 2010, when both James Franco and Jesse Eisenberg were circling the project. I’m a huge, huge fan of everyone involved so the sooner production begins, the better!

James Franco Continues His Film Critic Aspirations By Telling Vice Readers He Loves 'Leviathan'

3 hours ago | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »

A week after defending "The Great Gatsby" in a written review, James Franco has continued his aspirations to add film critic to his seemingly endless list of hyphenates, this time offering up his take on Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Verena Paravel's "Leviathan" (which actually has been in theaters since early March, but I guess Franco has the power to pretty much review whatever he wants, whenever he wants). Once again writing for Vice Magazine, Franco makes clear from the get-go that he's in love with the documentary -- which focuses on the commercial fishing industry of the North Atlantic -- titling the review "'Leviathan,' I Love You: A Few Impressions." After a few paragraphs detailing the context of the evening he saw the film (including, somewhat needlessly, the fact that he's currently listening to Daft Punk and reading "Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter"), Franco officially begins his »

A 'Freaks And Geeks' Kickstarter Film? Judd Apatow Sets Record Straight

4 hours ago | Celebsology | See recent Celebsology news »

Kickstarter is all the buzz in Hollywood these days, with dedicated fans hoping that their favorite television show will be next to make a reunion movie. So while we recently chatted with Judd Apatow after receiving the Peabody Award for Girls, we asked him if his 1999 hit Freaks and Geeks would ever take that route. 

"I don't think we aren't interested in doing it because we like how it ended. So we don't feel like opening it up again," he said. Laughing, "But in a way, everything I do is sort of like a sequel."

Sequels and reunions is definitely something that the writer and producer is used to. From Seth Rogen to James Franco and Jason Segel, Apatow has worked with many of the same actors over the years in hugely successful films like Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, Anchorman, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. »

Amanda Seyfried Joins Ben Stiller in Baumbach's 'While We're Young'

5 hours ago | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Since December of 2010, the project While We're Young with director Noah Baumbach and star Ben Stiller has been gestating with fluctuating cast members. Initially James Franco was going to be a part of the project, but he fell away, and Jesse Eisenberg was circulating six months later. Now it sounds like the whole cast is coming together for Baumbach to get this film off the ground. Stiller is still leading the film about a free-spirited Brooklynite twenty-something couple who inspires an uptight documentarian (Stiller) and his wife to loosen up, and now The Wrap reports Amanda Seyfried has joined the ensemble cast. Read on! Seyfried is just coming off the Best Picture nominated Les Miserables, and will soon be heard in the animated film Epic this weekend, not to mention Seth MacFarlane's A Million Ways to Die in the West next year. Seyfried will play one half of the »

Watch: 2 Clips & Red Band TV Spot For 'This Is The End'

6 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Upon viewing the abundance of “This is the End” clips and trailers that are available online, one thing is for certain: these guys had a lot of fun making this movie. You’ve got James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, etc. all getting to play fictionalized versions of themselves in an apocalyptic comedy co-directed by Rogen (alongside Evan Goldberg). Sounds like a grand old time. But will us average movie-going folk enjoy it half as much as they will? That’s the question. The clips released so far have been a bit hit and miss, and today we have a new red band TV spot as well as two new clips from the film that pretty much indicate the same thing. The red band spot is mostly an abridged version of the red band trailer, but the clips give us some new footage. The »

Early ‘World War Z’ and ‘This Is the End’ Reactions – Good Apocalypse Movies?

6 hours ago | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

The fast-approaching World War Z and This Is the End are polar opposites – tonally speaking – yet both apocalyptic movies have prompted divided responses, during the buildup to their theatrical release. Director Marc Forster and star Brad Pitt’s Wwz adaptation has stirred up controversy over its departure from the source material, with a troubled production and lackluster marketing “helping” to heap on more negative buzz. Similarly, This Is the End either looks brilliant and hilarious or crude and dull-witted, depending (partly) on your general feelings about past comedic offerings from actors like Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill and Danny McBride.

Earlier this week, World War Z and This Is the End were screened for select movie bloggers, journalists, celebrities and everyday moviegoers; surprisingly, though, the general ...

'Twilight' dominates Teen Choice Awards nominations

7 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

The sun has set (or risen?) on Summit Entertainment’s venerable vampire series — but even though it, like Robsten, is officially kaput, Twilight still holds a hypnotic power over people of a certain age. (That age is “young.”)

The last installment of the blood-sucking saga dominates the “first wave” of nominees at this year’s Teen Choice Awards, which single out the movies, TV series, music, fashion, comedians, athletes, and performers that resonate most with today’s 13- through 19-year-olds. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 snagged seven nods, nine if you include star Taylor Lautner’s individual nominations for »

Cannes Review: James Franco Makes an Ambitious but Faltering Debut With As I Lay Dying

18 hours ago | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »

James Franco's As I Lay Dying earned a standing ovation following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, but while it shows promise for Franco's burgeoning directorial career, its stumbles highlight his newness to helming films. William Faulkner's classic novel As I Lay Dying is a famously dense story about the destitute Bundren clan and their calamitous journey to lay their matriarch, Addie, to rest in Jefferson, Ms. The trip unleashes a dismal chain of events that leaves them all somehow changed or scarred - sometimes physically. It seems fitting that Franco, an actor-slash-author himself, would combine his love for film and literature in his feature-length directorial debut. And he does an impressive job unraveling the complex narrative, which in the book is told by 15 different characters and jumps vaguely backward and forward in time. Sure, there's no doubt that it's ambitious for a first-time filmmaker to take »

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

20 hours ago | 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!

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.

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.
