Comedians Adam Sandler & Chris Rock Take The Disney Channel By Storm

10 June 2013 7:36 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

When it comes to booking guest stars, the names don’t get much bigger than Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. The A-List comedians are taking the Disney Channel by storm, agreeing to guest on two Friday line up shows. They are Jessie and A.N.T. Farm. Prepare to chuckle.

On June 28, Chris Rock will appear on an episode of A.N.T. Farm titled “animal husbANTry”. Rock will play himself and will swing by as a father wanting very much to adopt a special pet for his daughter. I’m reminded of the time Rock voiced Rodney the guinea pig in the film Dr. Dolittle. How amusing would it be if a guinea pig was the pet the Rock family ended up adopting?

Following A.N.T. Farm, it will be Adam Sandler’s turn to appear as a guest on Jessie. Sandler is also playing himself and his episode is called “Punch Dumped Love, »

Noah Baumbach's 'Frances Ha,' or How to Make a Movie in Secret

17 May 2013 7:54 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

It's almost impossible to compare a small, independent film with today's no-holds-barred superhero blockbusters. However, if there's one thing that Noah Baumbach's "Frances Ha" manages to have in common with, say, "The Avengers," is secrecy. For the film -- which was shot in secret during 2011 and 2012 -- Baumbach decided to withhold parts of the script from the cast, providing them with only the scenes in which their characters appeared. This method appears to have paid off, as critics have been swooning over "Frances" since it premiered at Telluride Film Festival last fall. Of course, the secrecy factor is where the blockbuster comparisons end for "Frances Ha." The black-and-white movie follows Frances (Greta Gerwig), an aspiring 27-year-old dancer who is looking to come to grips with adulthood as she struggles to keep a job in New York City. Here, Baumbach offers some tips on shooting a secret film, talks about »

Shaun The Sheep Gets A Spin-Off

25 April 2013 6:14 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Like the Scorpion King and Richard B. Riddick, only about 6000 per cent fluffier, Aardman's knitwear icon Shaun the Sheep is getting his own spin-off movie. Shaun The Sheep - for that is what it's called - pools the Bristol animation house's skills with the considerable financial muscle of StudioCanal in a deal that will see the Close Shave's star joining Wallace and Gromit in the stop-motion movie pantheon.The story, penned by Richard Starzak and Madagascar writer Mark Burton, sees the mischief-making ruminant land his farmer in a world of trouble. With the old man led away from the farm, Shaun is forced to take on a rescue mission to the big city with his flock in tow. Before you can say "adopt motorbike display formation", the fluffy posse are in deep on a daredevil, lamb-chop-or-glory adventure.StudioCanal will no doubt be keen to let Aardman get on with »

Ben Stiller & Vince Vaughn Returning for ‘Dodgeball 2′

22 April 2013 8:54 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Ben Stiller’s film career – perhaps more so than his contemporary comic actors – has managed to capture the attention of moviegoers of all ages. On the one hand, he is known to kids for the Madagascar and Night at the Museum franchises, while older fans remember his darker, more satirical work in films like Tropic Thunder, Zoolander and There’s Something about Mary.

The announcement of Zoolander 2 seemed to indicate that he was ready to revisit some of his older-skewing material, but that film appears to have stalled as Stiller wraps production on his remake of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (which is already earning positive buzz). Now – with his return as Derek Zoolander apparently on hold – Stiller looks like he’s ready to revisit another one of his most memorable characters.

According to ...

Ben Stiller Hopes a Skateboard Can Save Him in First 'Secret Life of Walter Mitty' Photo

16 April 2013 5:27 AM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »

Hollywood’s top comedic minds often gravitate toward family fare, be it Eddie Murphy, Jim Carrey or Ben Stiller. The latter – who has fueled a series of Madagascar and Night at the Museum films – has another kid-friendly comedy coming to theaters in December, and we’re starting to see a few marketing materials courtesy of 20th Century Fox.    The Secret Life of Walter Mitty stars Stiller as the title character, a mild-mannered magazine photo editor who frequently escapes the doldrums of his life by daydreaming. The film is an adaptation of James Thurber’s classic short story that was also made into a 1947 movie starring Danny Kaye.   Fox shared this first image of Stiller in character. The buzz on the movie says that we’ll...

9 Franchises That Need to End Now

15 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

"Scary Movie 5" opened in theaters this past weekend and if you're like most human beings, you're probably wondering just one thing: Why?

But the fact that Hollywood made yet another "Scary Movie" is really no surprise. After all, most studios believe that while you may not be able to beat a dead horse, you can certainly continue to milk a dead cash cow ... which explains why so many franchises continue to get sequels long after any they've stopped being interesting, fresh or creative. Why make something new when you can make something cheap and derivative instead?

So with that in mind, here's a look at nine more franchises that need to end right now. Because the scariest thing we can think of is the possibility of a "Scary Movie 6."

'Transformers'

Okay, so the chances of Paramount ending the "Transformers" franchise any time soon — or ever — is pretty »

“Pandamonium” As Kung Fu Panda 3 Enrolls Bryan Cranston And Mads Mikkelsen

10 April 2013 2:30 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

The third instalment in the beloved animated franchise has cast a trio of new voice actors, namely Bryan Cranston, Mads Mikkelsen and Bridesmaid’s Rebel Wilson. Jennifer Yuh Nelson will return to direct Kung Fu Panda 3 following her directorial success with the second film. With Jack Black and Angelina Jolie reprising their roles as Po and Tigress, respectively, the threequel isn’t exactly short of talent in the acting department. To keep our tongues wagging in excitement, Dreamworks Animations also offered a brief tease on the film’s direction:

“…follows Po, the chosen one, as he continues on his journey mastering the art of Kung Fu … and noodle slurping.”

Perhaps brief was an overstatment. Nonetheless the casting news is worth commending. Cranston and Mikkelsen are some of the finest acting talent working in the industry today and the fact that they pair will be working together in some capacity »

Bryan Cranston Joins Kung Fu Panda 3

Now the third Panda pic is leaping into action, with Bryan Cranston, Mads Mikkelsen and Rebel Wilson all aboard to lend their tonsil talents.They’ll join returning Panda veterans Jack Black, Angelina Jolie and Seth Rogen in the film, which Kung Fu Panda 2’s Jennifer Yuh Nelson is back to direct.Beyond the basic concept carried through the movies – Black’s warrior Po, the chosen one, continues his quest to master martial arts and fight evil, all while eating as much as he can – nothing is known about the movie just yet.

Jada Pinkett-Smith's Latest Look: We Can't Believe It's Not Butter!

4 April 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

We are salivating over this ensemble. Why? Because Jada Pinkett-Smith's buttery gown looks like it belongs spread on a piece of whole-wheat toast! Or maybe a cinnamon raisin bagel Yet, the Madagascar star still totally pulls off this Miu Miu halter dress. At first we thought it was because of that sexy side slit. Then we figured the actress' flawless hair and make-up should get the credit. But, to be honest, it's those insane black and gold Saint Laurent ankle cuff sandals. We should have known the shoes would save it. We'll now be taking bets on whether or not Jada will become the next sultry "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" spokeswoman. »

‘Grown Ups 2′ Trailer: Adam Sandler and His Friends Are Back

3 April 2013 7:11 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Grown Ups 2 is the first sequel to feature everyone’s favorite punching bag Adam Sandler, who reunites with some of the most divisive names in the comedy genre – Kevin James (Here Comes the Boom), Chris Rock (Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted) and David Spade (Rules of Engagement) – for a goofy summer romp that picks up not long after the original movie, with Sandler having moved his kids and wife (Salma Hayek) to the small town where he and his buddies (sorta) grew up.

The trailer barely touches on the story that Sandler co-scripted alongside Fred Wolf (Grown Ups) and Tim Herlihy, who helped launch the critic-proof comedic star’s career back in the 1990s with the cult comedies Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. Instead, we get a collection of vignettes that tease guest appearances from such names as NBA veteran Shaquille O’Neal (Scary Movie 4), Taylor Lautner »
