Adam Sandler in Talks for Three Mississippi with Will Ferrell
31 May 2012 4:16 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Three Mississippi (originally titled Turkey Bowl), the upcoming football comedy from Warner Brother, has taken a few twists in pre-production over the past few months. Originally, the film was set up to reteam The Departed co-stars Mark Wahlberg and Alec Baldwin, as well as Will Ferrell and Wahlberg from their pairing in The Other Guys. Adam McKay was also set to direct, but since Anchorman 2 was given the go-ahead, he's left to make that his next film. He's not the only one who has left the project either, as Mark Wahlberg has decided to make Lone Survivor with Peter Berg instead. Since Ferrell didn't want to wait for Wahlberg to become available again, none other than Adam Sandler is now in talks to replace him and Warner Brothers has brought on Sandler's That's My Boy director Sean Anders to take over for McKay. The idea of Will Ferrell and »

June Preview (Part 1)
30 May 2012 5:40 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
After Summer 2012 got off to an incredible start with The Avengers, business slowed down substantially in the last two weeks of May, and it now looks like it's up to June's releases to once again kick-start the box office. The highest-grossing June on record occurred in 2009 ($1.086 billion), and with five weekends of new movies on deck, there's definitely a chance that June 2012 winds up exceeding that mark. While there's only one guaranteed box office hit (Pixar's Brave), four other titles have a strong shot at reaching $100 million*Snow White and the Huntsman, Prometheus, Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, Rock of Ages. Add in R-rated comedies That's My Boy and Ted, and June 2012 is shaping up to be a strong month. This article will take a look at the first three weekends in June; sometime next week, Part 2 will address the crowded final two weekends. June 1 - 'Snow White and the Huntsman »

Kristen Wiig's Movie Career: How Other 'SNL' Alums Have Fared
20 May 2012 10:52 PM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
From Eddie Murphy to Will Ferrell and Tim Meadows, 'SNL' has a checkered record of minting movie stars.

Since its debut 37 years ago, "Saturday Night Live" has done two things incredibly well: skewer the day's headlines with a twisted, acid perspective and serve as a launching pad for some of the biggest careers in movie comedy history.
And following her tearful final spin on Saturday night's season finale, it appears clear that the show's ace player, "Bridesmaids" star Kristen Wiig, will be the latest breakout player to make a permanent leap from the stage at Studio 8H to movie stardom. Wiig has already tasted success with an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay for "Bridesmaids," and she has at least half a dozen features in various stages of shooting and development. We thought it was worth taking a »
Summer 2012 Domestic Forecast (cont.)
2 May 2012 5:15 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
<< Click here to go back to Summer Domestic Forecast (#1-7)8. Prometheus (June 8): If I were to tell you that on the second weekend of June there's a heavily-hyped sci-fi movie clouded in secrecy that's a throwback to a filmmakers' work from the late 70s and early 80s, what year would you say we're in? If you respond "I don't know, because that sounds like Super 8 and Prometheus!" then you get a high five. With the is-it-or-isn't-it-an-Alien-prequel talk, and the outstanding teaser trailer from December, Prometheus has assumed the mantle of "most anticipated non-sequel of Summer 2012" among fanboys, though that isn't enough to translate to major box office success. Super 8 topped out at $127 million*if Prometheus turns out to be as good as it looks, it will wind up higher, though probably not by much (and it will likely suffer at the box office if it gets slapped »

NFL draft: Which movie football star would you select No. 1?
26 April 2012 2:50 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Tonight at Radio City Music Hall in New York, the NFL will welcome its next class of millionaires as the league’s worst teams get the first shot at college football’s biggest stars. Stanford’s Andrew Luck and Baylor’s Heisman-winning quarterback Robert Griffin III are the sure-thing first two picks, as Indianapolis and Washington have made their intentions clear. In fact, the NFL Draft has been so obsessed over by the likes of Espn’s Mel Kiper Jr. that it makes Academy Awards handicapping seem restrained.
So rather than pretend to offer any fresh insight about tonight’s event, »

Adam Sandler And Happy Madison To Remake Summer School
2 April 2012 5:35 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Dear Adam Sandler, For the love of all that his holy, please stop. I have a deep and heartfelt love of movies like “Billy Madison”, “Happy Gilmore”, “Don’t Mess With the Zohan”, and “The Wedding Singer”. I even have an affection for movies where you do an annoying voice for the entire picture, like “Little Nicky” and “The Waterboy”. Lord knows I get grief for that, but I don’t care, I feel how I feel. I’ll even go so far as to say you were great in “Punch Drunk Love”. That was an unexpected turn that you pulled off wonderfully. However, despite my fondness for your work, the past year has left me begging for mercy. Between “Jack and Jill”, “Bucky Larson”, and “Just Go With It”, my heart breaks a little bit each time I hear your name attached to a movie. Now I hear that you, »

First Teaser Trailer for Hotel Transylvania Checks In
27 March 2012 12:07 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Sony has released the first teaser trailer for their CG animated movie “Hotel Transylvania”, one of those high-concept movies that you can sell to a Hollywood suit with a single logline: Dracula operates a hotel for monsters. Sound good to you? Then you’ll probably love “Hotel Transylvania”. I think it could go either way. But then again, that’s probably because Adam Sandler is doing his “voice” thing. I have a pretty simple formula for Adam Sandler movies: the more Sandler exaggerates a “voice” in a movie, the crappier the film. See: “Little Nicky”, “Jack and Jill”, and “The Waterboy”. Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula’s (Adam Sandler) lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free to be the monsters they are without humans to bother them. On one special weekend, Dracula has invited some of the world’s most famous monsters – Frankenstein and his bride, »

‘That’s My Boy’ Red-Band Trailer: Adam Sandler Does Vintage Dirtbag
1 March 2012 5:23 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
You may have heard Adam Sandler’s newest comedy referred to as I Hate You Dad and/or Donny’s Boy, but the official title is apparently That’s My Boy and today we have a red-band trailer for the film to share.
After a string of critically-panned comedies (see: Just Go With It and Jack and Jill - or rather, never, ever see them), the question is whether or not Sandler can still deliver comedy in the vein of his early hits, like Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore and The Waterboy. Unfortunately, the That’s My Boy trailer is not at all a guarantee that Sandler has gotten his groove back.
In That’s My Boy, Sandler plays Donny, a vintage scumbag who is facing jail time for tax evasion. When Donny learns that his son ...

'Grown Ups 2' Release Date: Adam Sandler Comedy To Hit Theaters Summer 2013
13 January 2012 5:12 PM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
That bad dream you had about "Grown Ups 2" late last year isn't going away. The sequel-to-be has reportedly been given a summer release date of July 12, 2013.
Fred Wolf, the original scribe of the comedian-heavy comedy ("comedy"), is in negotiations to pen the sequel. The 2010 flick reunited "SNL" alums (Adam Sandler, David Spade, Chris Rock and Rob Schneider) with Kevin James, and -- despite critical scorn -- made a pretty penny. "Grown Ups" wound up grossing 1 million worldwide.
Sandler is potentially interested in revisiting his role as one of five dudes who, after the loss of their basketball coach, decide to go on a high school-style bender. (Hey, grief takes all forms.)
"Grown Ups 2" would mark the first sequel to one of Sandler's projects. Hopefully he doesn't get any ideas about "Just Go With It 2," "Jack and Jill 2," "The Waterboy 2"... ("Happy Gilmore 2" might not be so bad, though.)

Grown Ups 2 and a Bruce Almighty Sequel in the Works
13 January 2012 7:40 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
It's finally happened. For the first time in his career, Adam Sandler is making a sequel. However, instead of going back to some of his revered comedies like 1996's Happy Gilmore or 1998's The Waterboy, Sandler is returning to his most financially successful movie, 2010's Grown Ups.
Almost universally , Grown Ups earned $271 million in worldwide box office, nearly as much as both of Sandler's 2011 movies, Just Go With It and Jack and Jill, combined. Coming Soon reports that Sony Pictures is targeting a July 12, 2013, release date for the sequel. Screenwriter Fred Wolf, who co-wrote Grown Ups with Sandler, is in negotiations to write the sequel.
According to the report, Sandler isn't completely locked for Grown Ups 2, but is expected to return along with his former Saturday Night Live co-stars, including David Spade, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, as well as Kevin James, who would all reprise their roles as five childhood friends coping with fatherhood. »

This week sees the release of Goon, the story of deadbeat Doug (played by Seann William-Scott), a lost soul searching for his place in the world and finding it on the bloodied ice rink of Pro-Hockey. After a display of strength Doug is signed up, not to play but to fight as the team’s Goon. From the writer of Superbad and Ppineapple Express this is sure to be an entertaining and sharp movie.
Goon arrives in cinemas Friday 6th January and to honour its release we’ve been thinking of some of our favourite sporting films – so let’s get the ball (or in this case the puck) rolling.
