'Hangover' Trio Headed to Tijuana?
23 May 2012 3:15 PM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »
In March it was announced that the Wolfpack trio of Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis will return for a third installment of their blockbuster comedy franchise, The Hangover Part III. Now, it looks like they're headed south of the border. Makes sense…

An industry insider reveals to Life & Style that lot of the film will be shot in L.A., "but then they are going to do the crazy scenes in Las Vegas again and then one wild week in Tijuana."
Director Todd Phillips has said that the third film is "going to surprise a lot of people with the final chapter we have planned. It will be a fitting conclusion to our three-part opera of mayhem, despair and bad decisions."
No word yet on whether or not Justin Bartha will be part of the festivities – or sidelined again. Hasn't he earned »
Nicholas Stoller to Direct 'Townies' with Seth Rogen and Zac Efron
21 May 2012 6:42 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Last summer, we heard that Universal won a huge bidding war for an untitled comedy starring Seth Rogen and Zac Efron. That project now has a name, Townies, and in it Rogen plays a regular guy who lives close to a college fraternity house, with Efron taking the role of a raucous member of the frat who makes Rogen's family life miserable. Sounds like something Todd Phillips would direct with its similarities to Old School, but THR reports Get Him To The Greek director Nicholas Stoller has secured the director's chair instead. Sounds like a good step back into rambunctious comedy after his funny-but-sweet Five-Year Engagement. Funny People producers Andrew Cohen & Brendan O'Brien wrote the script, which sold for a whopping 7-figures during last year's bidding war. It's cool to see how Stoller can operate under the Apatow umbrella but still make these projects feel like his own movies. He's »

Nicholas Stoller To Direct Seth Rogen & Zac Efron In 'Townies'
21 May 2012 4:47 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Judd Apatow has made no secret of it for some time: he and his family love Zac Efron. It's a move that semi-legitimized the young actor who seemingly has been trying to bust out of the teen hearthrob ghetto with only mixed results thus far (though "The Paperboy" is right around the corner and a few passion projects are simmering). Efron worked with Apatow's wife Leslie Mann on "17 Again," and apparently the whole gang hang out from time to time. So perhaps it was no major shock when Apatow troupe member and friend Seth Rogen was announced as Efron's co-star in an R-Rated comedy for Universal last year. Definitely an edgier move than Efron fans are used to at this point.
Once said to be in the vein of Todd Phillips' "Old School," details have arrived, including a familiar face to sit behind the director's chair. THR reports Nicholas Stoller »

It's Been A While Since You've Taken This "Road Trip"
17 May 2012 6:54 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Todd Phillips's career, like most of us, was in its adolescence when it found Tom Green funny; unlike most of us, a major studio release to be forever preserved on home video release came out of it. But maybe that's unfair; headlining a film (Freddie Got Fingered) voted the absolute worst of the decade has a way of tarnishing everything you've ever done. Looking back, Road Trip seems less like Tom Green or Todd Phillips movie than an Apatow-in-waiting: one of the first attempts to synthesize teenage boy sentimentality with their desire to get laid.
The set-up is almost quaint: a young man (Breckin Meyer) videotapes himself having sex at college, then accidentally mails the tape to his long-time girlfriend, whom he has planned to marry since childhood.

Morgan Freeman Join De Niro and Douglas Party In ‘Last Vegas’
17 May 2012 4:22 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Partying it up in Las Vegas has never sounded more fun than now. With two of the world’s best veteran actors Michael Douglas and Robert De Niro already attached to new comedy Last Vegas, the party keeps on getting better after reports that Morgan Freeman is in negotiations to join the all-star cast.
Written by Dan Fogleman (Crazy Stupid Love, My Mother’S Curse) and under the direction of Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure), the film follows the story of four retired men on their way to Vegas for their friend’s bachelor party, a smooth operatoe who is finally settling down to marry a much younger woman. Rumors have been spreading of Christopher Walken being the fourth and final member of the bachelor party, however confirmations on this are still to be heard.
Though much of the film sounds a lot like The Hangover, the script predates Todd Phillips’ film, »

Morgan Freeman Negotiating To Join Michael Douglas & Robert De Niro In Comedy 'Last Vegas'
16 May 2012 1:55 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Given that the two films in the franchise are the number one and number two R-rated comedies of all time, it's no surprise that studios are desperately attempting to recapture the formula of "The Hangover." Whether it's in set-up, like Sundance comedy "Bachelorette", or in spirit, like last summer's "Horrible Bosses", there are all kinds of spiritual successors to Todd Phillips' smash hit in the can or in the works, but they've all been lacking in one obvious thing: old people! Old people doing young people things are always funny! How else do you explain Betty White?
As such, CBS Films comedy "Last Vegas" is likely on to a winner, and the film's been assembling an all-star cast of pensioners for its tale of four elderly friends who head to the Sunset Strip for the bachelor party of the last of them to get hitched. Michael Douglas was the first on board, »

DVD Review - A Good Old Fashioned Orgy (2011)
15 May 2012 11:35 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, 2011.
Directed by Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck.
Starring Jason Sudeikis, Leslie Bibb, Lake Bell, Michelle Borth, Nick Kroll, Tyler Labine, Lindsay Sloane, Lucy Punch, Will Forte and Don Johnson.
Synopsis:
When his father announces that he's selling his beach house, a thirty-something party animal famous for throwing lavish themed summer parties at the property decides to go out with a proverbial bang, organising a good old fashioned orgy for his close circle of friends.
For a film called A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, the output either needs to be outrageously sexual or ridiculously funny. This film turns out, eventually, to be neither.
The film starts off so promisingly, delivering a stream of constant laughs and one-liners from the cream of some of American TV’s top sitcoms such as The League, Children’s Hosptial, and 30 Rock, and combines a nice commentary and outlook on friendship, »

Avengers Assemble eats up American Pie: Reunion
15 May 2012 7:38 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Joss Whedon's superhero team-up is still a box-office Marvel, devouring competition from American Pie and Dark Shadows
The winner
Holding on to the UK top spot for the third straight week, Avengers Assemble has notched up a highly impressive £40.28m after just 18 days of play. That's ahead of the entire runs of superhero predecessors such as Spider-Man (£29.03m), Spider-Man 2 (£26.73m) and Spider-Man 3 (£33.55m). The only comicbook adaptation that's ahead of it is The Dark Knight, with £49.07m. Chris Nolan's second Batman movie stood at £34.67m at the same stage of release (after three weekends of play), so Joss Whedon's superhero team-up looks on course to overtake it by the end of its run. However, week-on-week declines have been 39% and 49% for Avengers Assemble, compared with a gentler 22% and 39% for The Dark Knight, and if revenues keep declining steeply for the Marvel picture, it may just fall short. »

Veep’s Matt Walsh on Improv, the Beltway, and His Character’s Fake Dog
11 May 2012 7:45 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
A founding member of the Upright Citizen's Brigade, Matt Walsh is constantly popping up in comedies, especially those by friend and frequent collaborator Todd Phillips, to steal an improvised scene or two. But lately, he has been getting a lot more face time — and with the vice-president (as played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus) — on HBO's Veep. On top of that, he recently wrote and directed what might be the first true improv movie, High Road, in history. So we thought it was high time to check in with the comedian about his movie, the show, and how he came up with his character's fake dog.Why are you in Chicago at the moment?I'm in a hotel room awaiting the premiere of High Road, along with James Pumphrey, Zach Woods, and Lizzy Caplan. I thought it was already on DVD?It's an indie, and we're very disorganized. [Laughs.] We're having a few »

Top 7 Most Anticipated Summer 2012 Movies
9 May 2012 11:44 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
Now that The Avengers have blown summer wide open like Loki’s space portal, it’s time to consider what massive flying lizard-ships of movies will be waging the biggest attacks on our excitement bones. The next four months features probably the same amount of players as any summer movie season, but it’s arguable that the hitters are much heavier than usual. In fact, this summer might have accidentally turned into an Avengers-like all-star assembly without us even realizing it.
Along with the franchise mega-monsters like The Amazing Spider-Man, The Dark Knight Rises, Men in Black 3, or even Step Up: Revolution, summer will also be providing us with more work from the “hottest” directors (if you’ll allow me that temperature caveat). Showing how the summer movie season is quickly becoming more than just a time for “Big Lumbering Idiot »

35 Limited Releases To See This Summer
3 May 2012 9:43 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
The main reason we enjoy doing what we do here on Tfs is to share our love for great independent films that may not be on your radar. It’s why we focus our efforts on film festivals and it brings no greater joy to recommend these films once they come out in theaters. While other summer countdowns focus on all the films you’ve been hearing about non-stop for the last year, we’ve got a comprehensive list of the worthwhile independent, limited release features to take note of.
While a few, namely one from Focus Features and another from The Weinstein Company are set to go wide initially, they won’t be as hitting as many multiplexes as The Dark Knight Rises or The Avengers, therefore making for a worthy mention. Check out the list below, which also includes what you may want to skip over blockbuster-wise at the theaters that same weekend, »

Restricted Trailer for Klown is Definitely Not Safe For Work
2 May 2012 3:01 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Today we have a restricted trailer for the Danish comedy "Klown," which won Best Picture at Fantastic Fest and Best Film at Fantasia. It's also being remake for Us audiences, with Todd Phillips (The Hangover) producing and Danny McBride starring. Check out the trailer below. It is definitely Not Safe For Work. Plot: "Klown" follows two friends, Frank and Casper, as they embark on a canoe trip that thinly veils their true intentions of a weekend of debauchery. When Frank discovers his girlfriend is pregnant and having doubts about his ability to be a father, Frank "kidnaps" her 12-year-old nephew and brings him along for the ride. Despite their new impressionable travel companion, Frank and Casper make no changes to their original raunchy itinerary. The new movie was acquired by Drafthouse Films and is now set be released on VOD and in New York, Los Angeles and Austin theaters on July 27th. »
Watch: Red Band Trailer for the Truly Outrageous Comedy 'Klown'
2 May 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Every year Hollywood discovers great film gems from around the world, but instead of giving the original film a deserving release, they shelve it and remake it instead. Fortunately that's not happening to Klown, one of the raunchiest comedies around. Oh, it is getting a remake - The Hangover's Todd Phillips is producing for Danny McBride to star - but thanks to Drafthouse Films, the original will be getting the release it deserves. The company that gave Us audiences, among other films, the bold terrorist comedy Four Lions (seriously, see it if you haven't-- Chris Morris' film is one of the best of 2010), and the Oscar-nominated drama Bullhead, is now bringing to American shores this raucous Danish comedy about men behaving like, well, you can probably figure that...

Red Band Trailer For Dark Comedy ‘Klown,’ Already Set For Us Remake
2 May 2012 9:51 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Judging from this first red band trailer for Mikkel Nøgaard‘s Klown, I can already tell what attracted The Hangover director Todd Phillips and Danny McBride to develop a remake for the film. Very much Nsfw, this trailer is more of a single scene and if you also have dark comedy sensibilities, this is a riot. We saw the film, which has a TV series as well, during Fantastic Fest (review here) and called it hilarious, surprisingly sweet and heavy on awkward comedy. Witness the awkwardness below as we look forward to a release this summer.
Synopsis:
Klown follows two friends, Frank and Casper, as they embark on a canoe trip that thinly veils their true intentions of a weekend of debauchery. When Frank discovers his girlfriend is pregnant and having doubts about his ability to be a father, Frank “kidnaps” her 12-year-old nephew and brings him along for the ride. »

Get Your Fingers Handy, Kids, It’s a Red Band Trailer for Mikkel Nørgaard’s Klown
2 May 2012 9:19 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Okay, so it’s not necessarily a proper trailer, it’s basically a clip from the movie featuring the two heroes as they, uh, share a bed and, uh, other things with a lonely housewife. Mikkel Nørgaard’s 2010 raunchy comedy “Klown” has apparently been a big hit on the festival circuit, and is now slated for a Hollywood remake with Todd Phillips (of “Old School” and “The Hangover” fame) producing and Danny McBride starring in one of the two main roles. See what all the fuss is about below. In what critics are hailing as “the funniest movie of the year!” (IFC), Klown follows two wildly inappropriate friends — played by celebrated international comedians Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen — as they run amok through the Danish countryside plowing through endless awkward confrontations and unspeakable debaucheries. Hopelessly wrongheaded Frank “kidnaps” the 12-year-old nephew of his pregnant girlfriend in an eager attempt to »
