Check out today's casting news: Andy Garcia (The Untouchables) and Rob Riggle (21 Jump Street) have joined Luke Greenfield's action-comedy Let's Be Cops. Marton Csokas (The Bourne Supremacy) will star opposite Denzel Washington in Antoine Fuqua's The Equalizer, also starring Chloe Grace Moretz. Jonny Weston (Chasing Mavericks) and Sofia Black-d'Elia (Skins) are in negotiations to join Michael Bay's found-footage film, Almanac. Hit the jump for more on each casting announcement. First up from THR and The Wrap comes casting news for Let's Be Cops. Damon Wayans Jr and Jake Johnson, who both starred in the New Girl pilot, lead the comedy as "two friends who impersonate police officers using rented uniforms, giving their lives a boost and some fun. However, they run into trouble when they cross a dangerous Russian mobster." Garcia will play a veteran detective who lands the unenviable distinction of becoming boss of the two wannabes. »

Warner Bros. Picks Up 'Embassy' From Rob Riggle and Mandeville (Exclusive)
2 May 2013 12:02 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
Warner Bros. has picked up Embassy, a comedy based on an idea by Rob Riggle and to be penned by Cougar Town writer Blake McCormick. Todd Lieberman and David Hoberman are on board to produce via their Mandeville banner. Described as being akin to a comedic version of Safe House -- the international thriller starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds -- or perhaps a Hangover meets Argo, Embassy revolves around three unlikely American Embassy workers who must prevent an international war after they inadvertently cause a diplomatic crisis on the tiny South Pacific island where they’ve been stationed. Riggle appeared memorably as a

Modern Family Recap: Jay Pritchett, Novelist
2 May 2013 6:55 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Before we get going here, may I politely, insistently request someone fire up a petition to have Rob Riggle’s Gil Thorpe recur no fewer than five times per season from here on out? Would that be too much? Can we only handle him in small doses? I don’t know, and I need to find out. Thorpe, Thorpe, Thorpe indeed.Now. Modern Family, like any sitcom eyeing a long run, doles out puzzle pieces from its characters’ backgrounds every so often. The fact that nearly all of Cameron’s backstory seems to come in the form of Tales From the Farm is delightful. It's been a long while since we've heard such a yarn, and any story ending in "tell that to the cow-shaped hole in my bedroom wall" is bound to be a success, especially when it’s the story of a lost tooth.

Wednesday Comedy Roundup: Modern Family 4.21

Modern Family Season 4, Episode 21: “Career Day”
Written by Paul Corrigan & Brad Walsh
Directed by Jim Hensz
Airs on Wednesdays at 9pm (Et) on ABC
It pains me to say it, but Modern Family has become one of those hit and miss sitcoms. Up until now the show was consistently good, but like NBC’s Community, Modern Family is currently in its fourth season and for every great episode there seems to be a boring one. After a two week break, the return episode, “Career Day”, is a dud.
“Career Day” gets its title from the beginning part of the episode but what it really focuses on is the lengths adults will go to to impress their children. To be honest though, I haven’t seen a good Career Day driven episode since That 70′s Show‘s “Career Day” (Season 1, Episode 18) or The Simpsons’ “I am Furious (Yellow)” (Season 13, Episode »

After taking home the Best Animated Film Oscar at the start of the year for Brave, Pixar return to the big screen this summer with their first ever prequel, Monsters University.
Going back to the college days of our beloved Mike and Sulley, the film is naturally sure to be a strong contender in the same category early next year.
We’ve seen plenty of brilliant things from the animated blockbuster already, with the first full-length trailer landing two and a half months ago. And with its release now less than two months away, the studio have debuted another terrific new trailer, courtesy of Yahoo Movies.
Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn’t always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn’t stand each other. “Monsters University” unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences »

Pixar’s anticipated Monsters University is just months away from release, with the film marking the first time the studio has gone down the prequel route. Needless to say, we can’t wait for Mike and Sulley’s return.
The studio recently announced a set of terrific new additions to the already-impressive voice cast, including Nathan Fillion, John Krasinski, and Aubrey Plaza. And following on from that announcement, they’ve debuted a great new UK poster ahead of its release on our shores this summer.

Modern Family Season 4, Episode 20: “Flip Flop”
Written by Jeffrey Richman & Bill Wrubel
Directed by Gail Mancuso
Airs on Wednesdays at 9pm (Et) on ABC
This week’s episode of Modern Family is delightfully funny, aiming for nothing but laughs it’s clear the episode is a platform for the creators to have fun and entertain themselves. “Flip Flop” is mainly about Cam and Claire’s house-flipping enterprise and with the B story showing Gloria being her usual feisty and territorial self, the episode lacks the emotional depth that usually brings the show to a close each week. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that this week, “Flip Flop” is a very strong episode with no faults. Having only two storylines provides leeway for a ton of group interaction and also invites a handful of brilliant guest stars to join in with the Dunphy-Pritchett clan.
Claire and Cam are adamant »

‘Nature Calls’ Review
9 April 2013 8:21 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Johnny Knoxville, Maura Tierney, Patton Oswalt, Rob Riggle, Patrice O’Neal, Darrell Hammond | Written and Directed by Todd Rohal
Todd Rohal follows up his bizarre offbeat comedy The Catechism Cataclysm with another offbeat comedy in Nature Calls, which features an all-star cast including Johnny Knoxville, Maura Tierney and Patton Oswalt and tells the story of polar-opposite brothers Randy and Kirk who’ve never seen eye to eye. Randy is the assistant leader of his elderly father’s Boy Scout troop whilst Kirk loves his modern conveniences and his dozen TVs.
When Kirk (Knoxville) decides to have some of the boy scouts over for a slumber party ruining a pre-planned boyscout outing in a parking lot, Randy “kidnaps” the boys from Kirk’s to take them on camping trip to a restricted area in a local state park. Understandably, the kids parents don’t take so kindly to the news »

Movie Review - Nature Calls (2012)
10 March 2013 4:52 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Nature Calls, 2012.
Written and Directed by Todd Rohal.
Starring Patton Oswalt, Johnny Knoxville, Rob Riggle and Patrice O'Neal.
Synopsis:
Polar-opposite brothers Randy and Kirk never saw eye-to-eye, but their rivalry is taken to a new level when Randy hijacks Kirk's son's sleepover, taking the boys on a Scout Trip to remember.
When it comes to comedies I don't typically ask for much. As long as you have jokes that are actually funny, competent actors giving decent performances and a somewhat interesting story that I can get invested in then I'll be a happy camper. None of that is the case when it comes to Nature Calls, one of the more recent movies to get the ongoing VOD treatment in North America.
Once I saw the trailer for this I didn't have high hopes, but I never thought it could be as bad as it ended being. You've got Patton Oswalt »

'Rules Of Engagement' Star Lands New ABC Comedy
27 February 2013 10:55 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
David Spade will play the lead in ABC's "Bad Management" pilot, EW reports.
The plot revolves around an egotistical female boss (Sharon Hogan) at a luxury goods department store, who finds the status quo affected when the owner's son (Spade) joins the company and wants to target a younger demographic using hot trends and sex. Spade will be joined by the pilot's writer/executive producer Rachael Harris, who will play another employee at the store.
The pilot will be in second position to Spade's "Rules of Engagement," the resilient backup player that CBS often relies on to fill holes in its midseason schedule. If the bubble show is finally cancelled, Spade will be free to move on to "Management," otherwise the ABC comedy will have to find a new lead.
