Downton Abbey, Broadchurch and beyond: how ITV got back on top
27 April 2013 12:01 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
TV thriller Broadchurch was an extraordinary hit. Perhaps most surprising was the fact that it was on ITV, not always seen as the home of edgy entertainment. But that's changing
There was something out of the ordinary about Broadchurch, the TV murder mystery that kept nearly 10 million viewers guessing until the killer of 11-year-old Danny Latimer was revealed this week. The work almost entirely of a single writer – unusual for an eight-part drama – it featured only one murder (the average episode of Midsomer Murders has four).
Most surprising of all, perhaps, was that Broadchurch was on ITV, not necessarily a channel known to viewers as the home of edgy (or edge-of-your-seat) thrills. At the risk of hyperbole, ITV claims it is the most tweeted-about TV drama ever, with a reported 260,000 tweets from 137,000 people – making it, to use a pre-Twitter phrase, genuine watercooler television.

Seth Rogen's disastrous first date with wife
18 April 2013 10:01 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Seth Rogen had a car accident on his first date with Lauren Miller. The 31-year-old actor - who married actress and author Lauren, 30, 18 months ago - won over the pretty brunette from the first time they met seven years ago on the 'Da Ali G Show' but Lauren admits their first date didn't go according to plan. Lauren told Us Weekly: 'Even our first date was exciting. We played mini golf and then got into a hit and run accident on the freeway. When I got out of the car I hugged him, I needed to hold on to something. Lauren believes one of the reasons for their strong relationship is that she and Seth became a couple »
Watch: Ricky Gervais Brings Back David Brent From 'The Office' For New 10-Minute Short
19 March 2013 8:22 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
In Britain, the biannual charity extravaganza that is Comic Relief has a great track record for creating one-off comedy sketches, many based around established British shows and comedy characters. Past classics have included skits based around the likes of "Doctor Who," "Blackadder," "Gavin and Stacey," "One Foot in the Grave," "Da Ali G Show," "I'm Alan Partridge" and "Father Ted." Ricky Gervais has been involved many times before, perhaps most notably for the time he created an extremely funny sketch in which he appeared to be recording an appeal for aid from Africa. Well, Gervais returned with a new sketch at this year's Comic Relief, and this time he brought back David Brent. Aside from a couple of cameos on the U.S. version of "The Office," the last time that we'd seen Brent was when "The Office" Christmas specials aired back on December 26th and 27th of 2003, making this »

Review: Rafe Spall and Rose Byrne headline fresh and funny anti-romantic comedy 'I Give It A Year'
18 March 2013 3:55 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Austin - Dan Mazer has built a career based on a very particular type of humor. As a writer/producer, he's been involved in "Da Ali G Show," "Borat," "Bruno," and "The Dictator," and he's helped define Sacha Baron Cohen's public persona in the process. Now with his first feature film as a writer/director, he's turned his attention to the Working Title romantic comedy formula, and "I Give It A Year" manages to parody the structure of those films while playing as an actual one at the same time. No easy feat, that, and I was surprised by how well Mazer manages »

Tom Hooper Might Direct Sacha Baron Cohen In The Freddy Mercury Film
15 March 2013 12:33 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Sacha Baron Cohen (Da Ali G Show, Borat, Les Misérables ) has been attached to play the frontman of the band Queen, Freddie Mercury, for a couple of years now. Deadline reports that the Sony Pictures/Gk Films project (produced by Graham King, Tim Headington, Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Queen Films) looks to add Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech, Les Misérables) as director, though no formal offer has been made. The script is by Peter Morgan (The Last King Of Scotland, The Queen, Frost/Nixon).
They need to make an offer soon while Hooper is still a free agent, because right now, everybody wants him to front their movie. Hooper’s last two films had a combined budget of $76 million and they have grossed (at the box office) $837 million worldwide.
Excerpt from Freddie Mercury’s bio on the band Queen’s official website:

Who Else Forgot Martin Freeman Was in Ali G Indahouse?
22 February 2013 12:05 PM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Safe to say 2002 was not a year Americans were familiar with Mr. Bilbo Baggins, Martin Freeman, unless of course they were huge fans of Ricky Gervais' The Office. I remember watching Ali G Indahouse and being really disappointed that it wasn't as good as Da Ali G Show but after seeing this I think I'll give it another shot.

First Images from The Muppets Sequel, Officially Titled ‘The Muppets … Again!’
30 January 2013 12:41 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The Muppets sequel is naturally a project we’ve been getting more and more excited about in recent months, with Ricky Gervais coming on board to lead the film at the end of last year. Disney have announced production has officially begun, and they’ve finally announced the sequel’s name: The Muppets … Again!
And not only that, they’ve released two brilliant first images to celebrate.
Gervais is joined by Ty Burrell (Modern Family) and Tina Fey (30 Rock), making for one of the best and likely most memorable leading casts for a comedy in recent years.
“Disney’s ‘The Muppets … Again!’ takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theatres in some of Europe’s most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World »

Here's a couple of photos from the upcoming Muppets sequel giving us our first look at the film which has been titled, The Muppets... Again. The photos give us our first look at Ricky Gervais, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzy, and the rest of the gang gearing up for another fun adventure.
The photos come from EW, who also offers up some details on the film explaining that the Muppets are "enjoying a triumphant world tour, only to become tangled up with a criminal mastermind named Constantine, who is out to steal an enormous diamond—and who happens to be a dead ringer for Kermit." I enjoyed the first movie, and I hope this sequel ends up being just as entertaining. I don't see why it wouldn't, but you just never know.
The movie is set to be released in theaters on March 21st, 2014, and here's the press release with all »

I Give It A Year Review
28 January 2013 2:47 PM, PST | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
I Give It A Year is a new comedy from the producers of Love Actually, Bridget Jones’s Diary and Notting Hill. Which is a good thing. Obviously. Highly successful and entertaining British comedies. It’s directed by Ben Mazer, a man who has written quite alot of stuff for Da Ali G Show, wrote Borat, wrote Bruno, Ali G Indahouse, so mostly pretty good. No pressure then! Thankfully I Give It A Year is rather damn good! Starring Rafe Spall, Minnie Driver, Simon Baker, Anna Farris and Rose Byrne, Dan Mazer’s script tells the story of a couple who got married after only a few months and subsequently things start unravelling all before they even get to their first anniversary, as they realise they may not exactly be right for each other. With an ex and a handsome “yank” (Baker) on the scene for husband and wife the »

I Give It A Year gets a buffet of new posters - From the writer of Brüno.
22 January 2013 7:51 AM, PST | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Dan Mazer's I Give It a Year romantic comedy has 8 posters in the gallery. The film stars Rose Byrne, Anna Faris, Simon Baker, Rafe Spall and Minnie Driver and there's no U.S. release date set at this time. Pic opens in the U.K. and Ireland on February 8th and follows the trials and tribulations of a pair of newlyweds in their first year of marriage. Also in the cast are Jason Flemyng, Stephen Merchant and Olivia Coleman. I Give It A Year was shot in London, and is produced by Working Title's Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner. Mazer's the writer of Sacha Baron Cohen starrers Brüno and Da Ali G Show, so should prove quite interesting. »
