Amy Poehler And Paul Rudd's Rom-Com Adds New Girl's Max Greenfield
16 May 2012 7:48 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The comedy They Came Together is already promising enough, with Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd reuniting with Wet Hot American Summer director David Wain for a romantic comedy. Now they've added another comedic talent to the lineup, and this one from a slightly younger generation. Deadline reports that Max Greenfield, who broke out as the most popular star of Fox's New Girl, has signed on to play the couch-surfing younger brother of Rudd's character. If this is all sounding a little too typical romantic comedy, don't worry-- earlier reports have described the movie as a rom-com parody, with Rudd's character the head of a corporation that's threatening Poehler's character's knick-knack store, in a plotline snagged pretty clearly from You've Got Mail. If the mention of parody makes you roll your eyes and think of garbage like Meet the Spartans, don't forget that Wet Hot American Summer is essentially a parody »
Buzz Lines: What's Your Favorite Quote From The Godfather Trilogy?
16 May 2012 8:05 AM, PDT | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »
Everyone loves a good Godfather quote. People even quote the movie in other movies, like in You've Got Mail when Tom Hanks told Meg Ryan to "go to the mattresses." And that other time in You've Got Mail when Tom Hanks was all, "What day of the week is it? 'Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday." Solid gold. Check out the bits we find ourselves quoting below and let us know what your favorite lines are! "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." - Don Corleone "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." - Clemenza "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!" - Michael Corleone Photo courtesy of Paramount Pictures »

Zooey Deschanel to Hit Broadway - as Loretta Lynn
11 May 2012 5:40 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
There's a new girl coming to Broadway. Cast by the country icon herself, Zooey Deschanel will play Loretta Lynn in an upcoming stage musical about the singer's life, Coal Miner's Daughter, producers for the Broadway-bound production have announced. Lynn personally introduced Deschanel Thursday night on the stage of Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium during Opry Country Classics. The two then sang "Coal Miner's Daughter." "It's a long way from Butcher Holler to Broadway in New York City. I never imagined I'd see Coal Miner's Daughter on a movie screen, and now I can't believe it's going to be on a stage for people to see, »

Poehler And Rudd Come 'Together'
10 May 2012 8:59 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd might be campaigning against each other on "Parks and Recreation" (season finale tonight, y'all!), but they'll stop mudslinging for "They Came Together," a rom-com parody from director David Wain.
Per Variety, "They Came Together" will find Rudd and Poehler initially at odds because he plays a corporate shark threatening to shutdown her character's "quirky knick-knack store." In the grand tradition of "You've Got Mail," the differences will become what binds them together as a couple.
Wain and Michael Showalter ("Wet Hot American Summer") co-wrote the script, which is said to take down many cliched rom-com tropes. If Showalter being involved in a rom-com parody sounds familiar, that's because you remember his crazy underrated 2005 comedy "The Baxter," which co-starred Wain and featured a cameo appearance from Rudd.
Following the big election on the "Parks and Recreation" season finale, Rudd has a slew of projects lined up. »

You Know Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler? 'They Came Together'
10 May 2012 8:11 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
You know how you can tell a real tried-and-true collaboration? When two talented people make a flop together, yet continue to work on project after project.
Those two people in question are director David Wain and star Paul Rudd, who Variety says will reunite before the flaming box office wreckage of "Wanderlust" has even been put out by the fire department on anti-romantic comedy "They Came Together."
"Parks and Recreation" all-star Amy Poehler, who appeared opposite Rudd in Wain's 2001 cult camp comedy "Wet Hot American Summer," will add her unparalleled improv gifts to the script, which was originally intended to be Wain and co-writer Michael Showalter's follow-up to "Wet Hot" before it was canceled by Universal a decade ago.
After the more mainstream "Wanderlust" and "Role Models," Wain is returning to his roots by making this new meta take on the rom-com genre through Lionsgate's microbudget division.

Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler to Star in Romcom Parody
9 May 2012 6:00 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
It isn't quite the Wet Hot American Summer sequel we've been anticipating, but it's close enough for now: Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler are reteaming with director David Wain and co-writer Michael Showalter for They Came Together, reports Variety. The movie is a parody of romantic comedies and has been kicking around for a while, since Wain wrote it after Wet Hot and the plot is basically a knowing takedown of You've Got Mail. Will Poehler get Meg Ryan hair? Just answer us that. »

Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler Team for They Came Together
9 May 2012 5:31 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Actor Paul Rudd and writer/director David Wain are set to collaborate once again on the romantic comedy spoof They Came Together, which also pulls in their Wet Hot American Summer cohort Amy Poehler.
Lionsgate will produce this romp about Joel and Molly, two big city individuals who fall in hate at first sight. He is a big time corporate manager who threatens to tear down her small knick-knack shop. Taking a page directly from You've Got Mail, the two begin an off-again, on-again romance that brings in all the classic staples of the rom-com genre.
Michael Showalter co-wrote the script with David Wain shortly after the duo finished work on Wet Hot American Summer. It was set to go into production around that time, but was shelved by Universal Pictures. Interest in the story arose again back in January, when Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler performed the screenplay live at the San Francisco Sketchfest. »

Paul Rudd Set For They Came Together
9 May 2012 4:56 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
The formulas of the rom-com genre have come in for a fair amount of ribbing over the years, and not just from the Date Movie crowd. But now a filmmaker with a little more comedy range is stepping into the fray, with Role Models director David Wain planning to put Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler together for parody They Came Together.Rudd will be Joel, a guy who works for a massive corporation. When he meets Molly (Poehler), it’s hate at first sight, since his company is looking to put her quirky small store out of business. But then they fall for each other, as convention dictates they must, moving through the typical on-again, off-again relationship, we suspect. Please don't confuse this with You've Got Mail.Wain, who is coming off a serious box office stumble with Wanderlust (which also starred Rudd) is switching to micro-budget for this script, »
Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler Reunite in Rom-Com Parody They Came Together
9 May 2012 4:36 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Back in 2001, director David Wain's Wet Hot American Summer starred Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler in a satire of coming-of-age, last-day-of-summer ensemble comedy films. Now, the three will reunite once again for the romantic comedy parody, They Came Together. The delightfully meta-titled project will be financed through Lionsgate's microbudget division. Wain co-wrote the script with collaborator, Michael Showalter not long after completing Wet Hot American Summer, but the project never got off the ground. Lionsgate is now aiming for a production start this summer. Rudd and Poehler both participated in a table read of both the Wet Hot American Summer and They Came Together scripts at San Francisco's Sketchfest earlier this year. Hit the jump for more on the plot of They Came Together, which takes a clear shot at You've Got Mail and a number of other rom coms. Variety reports that Rudd, Poehler and Wain will come together on this parody, »

Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler Team Up for Romantic Comedy Parody
9 May 2012 4:24 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
On the NBC comedy series "Parks & Recreation" there's been an interesting race for a City Council position between series lead Leslie Knope, played by Amy Poehler, and Bobby Newport, guest star Paul Rudd, and it's been fantastic. However, it sounds like the two will also be seen together on the big screen for the first time since Wet Hot American Summer in 2001 (which also has a sequel coming sometime down the road). Variety reports Rudd and Poehler will lead They Came Together, a romantic comedy parody from Role Models director David Wain, who also helmed the aforementioned summer camp comedy parody. The story follows Joel (Rudd) and Molly (Poehler) who meet and have nothing but contempt for each other as Joel's big corporation is the one that threatens to shut down Molly's quirky knick-knack store. Yep, that's You've Got Mail in there, and the rest of the film will »

From Studs To Schlubs? The Evolution Of Male Rom-Com Leads
27 April 2012 12:55 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
In "The Five-Year Engagement" (out now), Jason Segel goes from being a successful and put-together chef in San Francisco to a burly, dirty bunny suit-wearing woodsman in Ann Arbor, Mich. and back again. It's an arc that seems perfectly suited for these times. After all, since Richard Gere wooed Julia Roberts' hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold while wearing a bespoke suit in "Pretty Woman," the male leads in romantic comedies have become decidedly more schlubby.
To investigate this trend, HuffPost Entertainment decided to look at the 24 highest-grossing romantic comedies of all time, to see whether featuring an Average Joe (or perhaps worse; see: the dirty bunny suit) helps or hurts a film's box-office potential. (Spoiler: it's mostly split.)
Check out the evolution of male rom-com leads below, with the HuffPost Entertainment-patented Schlub-o-Meter giving schlub ratings to all 24 leading men.

Hanks In Talks To Return To Broadway As Newspaper Columnist
12 April 2012 12:01 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Tom Hanks is considering a return to Broadway as New York columnist Mike McAlary.
The play Stories About McAlary, written by the Forrest Gump star's You've Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle director Nora Ephron, centres on the life of the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and his coverage of the Abner Louima trial.
McAlary was a New York Daily News journalist when he wrote his expose of the New York Police Department officers who assaulted and sodomised Haitian security guard Louima in 1997.
Hanks has yet to commit to the production, which will be directed by Mike Nichols, but if he signs on it will be his first Broadway role since 1979.
As reported previously on BroadwayWorld.com, Hugh Jackman played McAlary during a reading in New York two years ago.
Hanks has also reportedly signed on to play movie icon Walt Disney in a new film about the filmmaker's 20-year battle to secure the rights to make Mary Poppins from author P.L. Travers. »
Ed Helms, Bill Hader, and Richard Schiff Sign Up for Mindy Kaling Pilot
22 March 2012 7:15 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
In addition to being a diehard Bridget Jones and You've Got Mail fan, Mindy Kaling has also gone on record as a West Wing enthusiast. (The relevant tweet: "I love The West Wing so much I can't bear it." There's also this post about how Aaron Sorkin characters are her favorite kind of guys, along with self-effacing NBA players and Good Dads.) So congrats to Mindy, who will soon realize every Ww fan's dream of standing opposite Toby Ziegler for at least three minutes. Richard Schiff has signed on to Kaling's Fox pilot, as "a menschy but accomplished Obgyn" who "is terrible with technology and tells stories about the 60s and 70s." Ed Helms and Bill Hader have also landed guest roles on the pilot; Helms will play a potential love interest, while Hader will play her ex. Yeah, we're still thinking about Toby trying to use an iPad. Perfect. »

Jeremy Scott Collection: Perfect For Katy Perry
16 February 2012 8:28 AM, PST | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
From colorful and quirky, the collection was exactly what we would expect from the outrageous designer -- and considering Katy Perry is a major fan, we think she'll love the latest looks that came down the Fall 2012 runway! Jeremy Scott is known for his outlandish, eccentric looks infused with tons of color and bold graphics, and his Fall 2012 collection definitely stayed consistent with his aesthetic. From a 'Rainbow Brite' striped sequin gown to multi-colored dresses, disco pants and a rainbow-fur, I definitely think it's only a matter of time before Katy Perry shows off some of the show-stopping looks on stage -- but it was his nod to the '90s that really had me excited! From unicorns that look like they came straight off a Lisa Frank trapper keeper to the 'You've Got Mail' intro before the show, it reminded me of the days of bright folders, »

10 movie chemistries that fizzled out second time around
13 February 2012 8:27 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
To prove that lightning seldom strikes in the same place twice, we take a look at ten romantic and bromantic movie pairings that failed to work a second time...
We all know and recognise the thought process behind many studios’ decisions to re-cast actors opposite one another after a successful first film together. Whenever a lot is made of two actors’ supposed chemistry alongside one another, the standards are set unusually high for a repeat performance.
One of things that makes that elusive on-screen chemistry so hard to define is that it has often proven so difficult to replicate. Here are ten pairings that have fallen into the ever-expanding trap of diminishing returns. Oh, and if you care to celebrate it with much gusto, happy Valentine’s Day to you all. I shall be celebrating it with a bucket of KFC – not that I’m bitter or anything...
Romcoms: end of the affair?
10 February 2012 4:06 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
From Fred and Ginger to Jennifer and Ashton, romantic comedies used to be one of the safest bets in Hollywood. But it seems that rom is just not into com any more
Is it the end for the romcom? You can imagine the celebrity mag headlines: "Romcom's relationship on the rocks?" "Com: I'm just not that into Rom" "Rom: Com doesn't make me laugh any more."
After all, who says romance and comedy go together like a horse and carriage? It seems to be a chiselled Hollywood commandment that the two shall be forever conjoined in cinematic matrimony, but perhaps it's time they went their separate ways. Sure, they got off to a great start: in those early years it was all fun and games and sparkling repartee, but recently they haven't quite looked the happy couple; the spark just hasn't been there.
They've been stuck in the same repetitive formula: boy meets girl, »
