Why He Loves Playing The Villain

17 May 2013 8:43 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Ken Jeong is having a nice couple of weeks. First, the doctor-turned-actor's television series, "Community," was surprisingly renewed for a fifth season. And next week, the third and final installment of the hugely successful "Hangover" series will be released -- featuring a substantially larger role for Jeong in his criminal, scoundrel role as Mr. Chow. We caught up with an excited Jeong about the end of "The Hangover," the future of "Community" and his dreams for a Mr. Chow spinoff movie.

Congratulations on the renewal of "Community."

Oh, thank you so much. I'm excited. I'm just really excited and pleasantly surprised. You know, I really didn't know what the chances of renewal would be. I really didn't know. That's really a testament to the fanbase, the devoted fanbase, that the show has.

Do they give you any hints on renewal either way before the announcement?

We get our information probably off of the Internet, »

Ken Jeong gets serious talking about ending it all in 'The Hangover Part III'

16 May 2013 4:30 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

I am genuinely happy for Ken Jeong. When I first saw him in "Knocked Up," I thought he was great, one of many scene-stealers in that movie. When I talked to Judd Apatow about him, he mentioned that Jeong was an actual doctor. At the time, I thought Judd meant that this was Ken's first time acting, that he was a doctor who they just met and thought was funny and then hired. Jeong was actually working in TV a full decade before that, though, while also having trained and worked as a doctor. He's a great example of a guy »

Latest set images and video from RoboCop remake

15 May 2013 11:03 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Okay people. Get ready to have a good moan, as some new images and a video have made their way on-line from the reboot of the Paul Verhoeven's eighties classic RoboCop. Check them out here, courtesy of Collider...

Directed by Jose Padilha (Elite Squad), this updated film follows Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) in his transformation from cop to machine. The new shots don't show anything we haven't really seen before, though we get a nice look at RoboCop's new gun. No sign of a holster, so here's hoping it still fits inside his leg. Apart from the angle of these pictures doing him no favours at all (beer belly?), I'm intrigued by Murphy's right hand, which appears to be completely human. A way for a supposedly fearsome cyborg to offer a human touch?

With it's predecessor much loved, RoboCop has a tough job on it's hands, but shall »

Ken Jeong Says A Hangover Spin-Off Film Is Possible

15 May 2013 10:11 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Ken Jeong has seen his fame skyrocket in the last couple of years. The doctor turned actor got his first big break in Knocked Up and since then he has been on one hell of a hot streak. Though he has credits like Step Brothers, Pineapple Express, Role Models and television’s Community under his belt, it was really Todd PhillipsThe Hangover and the character of Mr. Chow that brought the actor into the spotlight.

While in Toronto to promote The Hangover Part III, the final film in the hugely successful trilogy, Jeong took the time to talk with us about his role in the film. The full interview will be published here next week but for now, we wanted to share one interesting tidbit that the actor revealed. When I asked him if his character, Mr. Chow, would be appearing again in a spin-off or prequel, here’s »

Can An Action Movie With Clive Owen Turn Things Around For Katherine Heigl?

6 May 2013 11:03 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Katherine Heigl hasn't always been her own best advocate. A lead role in Judd Apatow's "Knocked Up" is mostly remembered by the fallout that came when she complained about the supposed sexist elements of the hit film. Then there's the saga with "Gray's Anatomy," with the actress battling with the creatives on the show and even withdrawing her name from Emmy contention one year because she didn't feel the material was up to snuff. While one could scoff at the irony of someone who went on star in movies like "27 Dresses" and "The Ugly Truth," Heigl had the last laugh because they were hits. And then suddenly, her choices were no longer so sound. "Killers," "One For The Money" and "The Big Wedding" were all bombs, with the Apatow-clone "Life As We Know It" as the lone outlier, a modest hit that you still probably forgot existed. So perhaps »

Clive Owen Joins Katherine Heigl For Survivor

5 May 2013 5:32 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Veteran actor and all around badass Clive Owen (Sin City, Children Of Men) is set to co-star opposite Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up, The Ugly Truth) in Survivor for director James McTeigue (V For Vendetta, The Raven).

The film follows a State Department employee (Heigl) working at the American Embassy in London who loses her team in a bombing attack.  After she is framed for a series of crimes for which she is innocent, she embarks on a desperate journey to clear her name and prevent an attack on New Year’s Eve.  Production company Nu Image will present the film to prospective financiers at the Cannes Film Festival. Legendary producer/director Irwin Winkler (Rocky, Goodfellas) will produce the project.

Something about the pairing of Clive Owen and Katherine Heigl is very bothersome to me.  In her relatively short career, Heigl’s reputation as something of an unappreciative and arrogant diva precedes her. »

Seth Rogen Has a Crush On Who?

2 May 2013 2:53 AM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »

Funnyman Seth Rogen says he's been crushing on his co-star, the Knocked Up actor revealed People at the second annual Hilarity For Charity House Party in Los Angeles. No big deal, except that his co-star is Zac Efron.

Role Call: Who Got Hired In Hollywood

Married to actress Lauren Miller, Rogen, 31, jokes that he can appreciate Efron's body.

"Zac Efron is incredibly handsome. He's the sexiest [expletive] on the planet!"

Rogen and Efron star alongside Rose Byrne, Dave Franco, and Lisa Kudrow in the frat boy movie, Townies.

"I did a scene with him, and we're both shirtless, and it was a very humbling experience," Rogen laughs. "I marveled at the fact that we're literally the same species."

The only way Rogen says he out-mans Efron is when it comes to man hair.

"I'm hairier than he is, so I win at that," Rogen told People.

The Big Wedding – The Review

26 April 2013 6:13 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

Review by Barbara Snitzer

Weddings are supposed to be happy occasions, and not just because they are a cash cow for all the meaningless businesses depicted on reality shows.   Our culture inculcates the ceremony as a benchmark that will enhance our lives and our society. If it were not so important, those who have been denied the right to marry would not be fighting so hard to be allowed to. The marriage ceremony has been the subject of many movies, particularly comedies, as it is such a universal experience.

Considering these points, one would think that a comedy called The Big Wedding starring A-list and Oscar-winning actors would be a slam-dunk hit, welcomed by critics and audiences with open arms.

One would be wrong.

The Big Wedding is generating much scorn from the critics; it remains to be seen whether moviegoers will be turned off by their censure.

Why all the hate? »

Could The Hangover continue? With the third and final installment in Todd Phillips’ comedy franchise set for a May 24 release, some insiders are wondering if the debauchery could live on through Ken Jeong’s scene-stealing Mr. Chow. “I would love to do more Mr. Chow,” Jeong tells The Hollywood Reporter of a possible spinoff involving his absurd, fun-loving character. “Todd Phillips gave me a career.” Photos: 'Pain & Gain' Premiere Pumps Up Hollywood Jeong burst onto the scene as the memorable Obgyn opposite Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl in the Judd Apatow-produced Knocked Up, popping

Mad Max's Weekend Movie Guide: 'Oblivion' & More

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

"I'll see you in another life when we are both cats." –Tom Cruise, 'Vanilla Sky'

Greetings from the apocalypse! You might think that this particular Mad Max would enjoy watching Tom Cruise fight evil robots in a future nuclear-blasted wasteland, but Nope! "Oblivion" is a dud, though that doesn't mean we can't make it through the next few days as long as we stick together and don't cross the Dmz. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em, troops, we're goin' in …

Friday, April 19

Pow! In Theaters

Xenu's own Tom Cruise returns to comfortable sci-fi territory this week with "Oblivion," which I will henceforth refer to as "The Matrix Redressed." Cruise is the only living boy in post-apocalyptic New York, where he and a stuffy British chick (Andrea Riseborough, natch) maintain giant water vacuums when they're not having PG-13 swimming pool sex … that is, until the mysterious Olga Kurylenko arrives from outer space. »

The 15 Best Things Said on the Set of 'This Is the End'

16 April 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Apocalypse comedies are all the rage lately – seriously, they're more common than Nicolas Cage movies right now – but in terms of originality, it's hard to beat "This Is the End."

The summer release, co-written and co-directed by longtime buds/collaborators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, features six of film's funniest joke-slingers (Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson and Jay Baruchel) playing "heightened versions" of themselves on the night of The Reckoning. Better yet, it takes place at a Hollywood house party and features handfuls of celebrity cameos, many of which end in gory demises.

That leaves our six main players left to fend for themselves while utter catastrophe reigns outside of the house (Franco's) they've barricaded themselves in.

We ventured south last spring to behold some of the improv-heavy shenanigans on a soundstage outside of New Orleans, where Franco's Hollywood house had been constructed. Here are the 15 most notable quotables. »

The best character actors on film

12 April 2013 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

From Tilda Swinton to Michael Shannon and Ken Jeong,

they're not the stars but they steal the show. Chosen by the Guide's film writers, the prizes for the 23 best supporting actors of 2013 go to …

Who have we missed? Add your favourites below the line

1. Tilda Swinton

Age 52

You'll have seen her in We Need To Talk About Kevin, Michael Clayton, The Beach

There are times you feel as if Swinton has made it her mission to eradicate all traces of natural provenance. She's achieved an almost clone-like physical presence: an ageless, androgynous, translucent-skinned human blank, ready to be moulded into whatever role she's assigned. And boy does she get through them. She's been everything from a distressed housewife to the Angel Gabriel; corporate lawyer to Narnian ice queen. But in personality terms, she's the complete opposite of a blank. Malleable though she may be, Swinton has ironically become her own trademark. »

10 Misguided Career Moves Made By Talented Actors

10 April 2013 6:28 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Alright, not everyone can have the career path of, say, Ryan Gosling, who after starring in an episode of Goosebumps as a kid, became known to millions for his work in The Notebook, and has spent a good few years working as one of the hottest young actors in Hollywood, with seemingly no indication that this is going to change. Sometimes people start off well like Gosling, and somewhere along the way, they just lose it, either because they’re lured in by money over artistry, or they develop an overpowering ego that earns them an unsavoury reputation, or they decide that they prefer boozing to acting.

Sometimes people just don’t have any taste or their agent picks a bad role; other times they’re forced to take any role that comes along just to keep financially afloat. Here are 10 talented actors who, for whatever of these reasons, made some woefully misguided career moves… »
