First Trailer for Jolene: The Indie Folk Star with Craig Roberts and Charlotte Ritchie
10 May 2013 1:57 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Having made a real name for himself in his feature debut, Richard Ayoade’s Submarine, Craig Roberts continues to impress with a slew of promising projects on his upcoming slate, including Dan Beers’ Premature with Alan Tudyk and Nicholas Stoller’s Townies with Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, and Rose Byrne. But before all that, we can look forward to seeing him star alongside the brilliant Charlotte Ritchie in Jamie Adams’ feature debut, Jolene: The Indie Folk Star.
Adams’ movie is eyeing a debut at Raindance this autumn, and is then set to tour the film at a handful of universities around the country in successive weeks, ahead of a DVD/VOD release around Christmas 2013. And with Jolene now approaching the end of post-production, we’ve got the brilliant first trailer to share.
Summer 2012, England and Wales.
Jolene (19), an indie folk star, is having trouble convincing her writing partner Benny (20) to become more commercial. »

Seth Rogen: 'Zac Efron is incredibly handsome'
2 May 2013 4:23 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Seth Rogen has joked that he has a crush on his co-star Zac Efron.
The duo will appear in the upcoming comedy Townies and Rogen admitted that he thinks Efron is "incredibly handsome".
"He's the sexiest **** on the planet!" Rogen said, according to People.
Rogen joked that Efron's good looks could sometimes be an issue, saying: "I did a scene with him and we're both shirtless, and it was a very humbling experience. I marveled at the fact that we're literally the same species."
However, he said that it's not all bad, claiming that he is "hairier" than Efron and adding: "[Zac's] very veiny. I'm not that veiny."
Townies will also star Craig Roberts, Rose Byrne, Dave Franco, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jake Johnson and Lisa Kudrow. »
Casting Couch: Emma Stone Might Get to Work With Woody Allen, Rosario Dawson Might Get to Work With Chris Rock, and More
24 April 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
What is Casting Couch? It’s a list of recent casting news. Recent as in, like, the last 24 hours recent. How’s that for service? Today we have news on what’s next for young actors like Craig Roberts and Chloe Moretz. If you were to make a list of dream directors who pretty much every young actor hopes they’re some day going to get to work with, Woody Allen would definitely be near the top of most of them. And if you made a list of all the young actresses who Woody Allen would like to have in his upcoming movies, chances are Emma Stone is somewhere near the top of that one. It’s probably time these crazy kids finally get together then, so Deadline is reporting that Stone is negotiating to star in Allen’s next movie, which is reportedly going to shoot in the south of France.

Zac Efron's Frat Adds Submarine's Craig Roberts For Townies
24 April 2013 12:57 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Not enough people have watched 2010.s offbeat coming-of-age dramedy Submarine, the first feature film directed by British comedian/writer Richard Ayoade. A handful of the best, as well as zaniest British sitcoms of the past ten years have featured Ayoade in some capacity, and Submarine was a nice subdued version of his talents. On top of that its young star Craig Roberts turned out a brilliant performance, drawing comedy out of pathos as well as situational bits. Roberts should definitely add something different to the usual suspects of Nicholas Stoller.s upcoming comedy Townies, which already stars such names as Seth Rogen and Zac Efron, and recently added Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Dave Franco and Rose Byrne to the cast. The plot . which sounds like something these guys are doing on a dare . concerns an ordinary family man (Rogen) and his wife (Byrne) whose life is becoming a constant Hell thanks to »
'Submarine' Star Craig Roberts Joins 'Townies' With Seth Rogen & Zac Efron
23 April 2013 4:32 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Nicholas Stoller’s “Townies,” announced last May, will pit Seth Rogen in an against-type role as a suburban family man against Zac Efron in an against-type role as a rowdy frat boy, two casting choices that we find positively titillating. News that Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse had signed on broke last month, upping the ante. And now it seems that another potential frat brother has been cast. Craig Roberts, who some will recognize from Richard Ayoade’s directorial debut “Submarine,” is currently filming the project according to his talent agent, Curtis Brown. Roberts has also played smaller roles in “Jane Eyre” and the little-seen “Red Lights," but in "Submarine," he showed a sensitive and sly comic touch, which might be a nice texture to add in the mix here. We know that sticking a bunch of funny people in one place isn’t necessarily a recipe for comedy genius, »
