Anthony Stokes assesses the career of Judd Apatow...
Comedy seems to be like a mechanical bull, with many people holding on for dear life and not quite realizing they've fallen off (I'm looking at you Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and especially Eddie Murphy). Few people have had more success producing, writing, and directing comedies than Judd Apatow. At this point he's the godfather of American comedy cinema, kickstarting the careers of comedic titans such as Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd to name but two. He takes people who are naturally funny and teaches them how to be good actors and make good movies, for the most part.
Judd Apatow is not somebody who gets a whole lot of credit, which is unfortunate. It's rare for genre directors to get a lot of praise and awards recognition and Apatow is no different. However, his influence on American comedy in not only movies, »

Kickstarter is all the buzz in Hollywood these days, with dedicated fans hoping that their favorite television show will be next to make a reunion movie. So while we recently chatted with Judd Apatow after receiving the Peabody Award for Girls, we asked him if his 1999 hit Freaks and Geeks would ever take that route.
"I don't think we aren't interested in doing it because we like how it ended. So we don't feel like opening it up again," he said. Laughing, "But in a way, everything I do is sort of like a sequel."
Sequels and reunions is definitely something that the writer and producer is used to. From Seth Rogen to James Franco and Jason Segel, Apatow has worked with many of the same actors over the years in hugely successful films like Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, Anchorman, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. »

Going by both the red band trailer and much more tame green band trailer, all sorts of hell will be unleashed upon Hollywood in This is the End, the apocalyptic comedy from writers and directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. There's been glimpses of aliens, weird creatues, giant pits, and tons of fire, and now some religious terror in a red band TV spot. A creature from hell shows up and it looks like one of the guys ends up getting possessed by Satan or at least some sort of demonic force. Between this and The World's End, the apocalypse is going to rule comedy in theaters this summer, and we're pretty happy about that. Watch now! Here's the red band TV spot for Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg's This is the End from Yahoo: This is the End is written and directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (who »

HBO have released a teaser trailer for the upcoming Clear History, a film starring and co-written by Larry David and directed by Greg Mottola (Superbad). In it, the usually balding and clean-shaven creator of Curb Your Enthusiasm is given a full head of flowing locks and a giant beard, driving an open-topped sports car and singing along to some classic rock.
Entertainment Weekly revealed that the film will also star Jon Hamm, Bill Hader, Kate Hudson, Eva Mendes, Danny McBride, and Michael Keaton, and will stick to Larry David’s signature style of improvised dialogue over a structured story. Most excitingly of all, J.B. Smoove will also be joining the cast – his chemistry on Curb Your Enthusiasm was electric, and he can always be depended-upon to make a good scene great.
But what’s the story? Well, Larry David plays Nathan, a hipster marketing executive who sells his shares in »

Another couple of new clips from the upcoming Armageddon-esque comedy 'This is the End' have landed. The clips feature the sixsome recording their confessions and grouping together to list their supplies as they hide out and prepare for ongoing survival. The comedic gang all play theirselves in the flick co-written and co-directed by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen so there will be plenty of laughs, in-jokes and general riffing off of each other. Rogen ('Knocked Up') stars as himself along with Jay Baruchel ('She's Out of My League'), James Franco ('Oz: The Great and Powerful'), Jonah Hill ('Superbad'), Danny McBride ('Your Highness') and Craig Robinson ('Hot Tub Time Machine').

Greg Mottola’s Clear History is definitely one of the films we’re most looking forward to seeing this summer, with an exceptional comedy cast led by the great Larry David himself.
The film is set to premiere on HBO this August, and now the network have debuted a great little teaser trailer to give us a look at the visually-transformed David, rocking a tremendous beard and a full head of hair.
David stars as Nathan, a hipster marketing exec who sells all his shares at a start-up over a fight with his boss (Jon Hamm), only to miss out on billions when the company’s new product—an electric car—becomes a smashing success.
Along with the trailer comes a first-look image from EW, giving us a look at David’s co-star, Jon Hamm.
The two are joined by a terrific cast, starring alongside Bill Hader, Philip Baker Hall, »

Larry David looks downright unrecognizable in a new teaser trailer for his upcoming HBO movie "Clear History." Cruising down the highway sporting shoulder-length hair and a long, scraggly beard, the "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator looks like he just walked off the set of "Sons Of Anarchy."
The comedy, which is directed by David and "Superbad" director Greg Motolla, also stars Jon Hamm, Eva Mendes, Amy Ryan, Danny McBride, Kate Hudson and Michael Keaton.
According to EW, "David stars as Nathan, a hipster marketing exec who sells all his shares at a start-up over a fight with his boss (Jon Hamm, left), only to miss out on billions when the company’s new product—an electric car—becomes a smashing success." Much like "Curb," the project relied heavily on comedic improvisation.
"Clear History" premieres in August on HBO.

The first teaser trailer has been released for Greg Mottola‘s HBO film, Clear History, which show us Larry David in a much different fashion than we are used to seeing him in. According to EW, the film stars Jon Hamm, Bill Hader, Kate Hudson, Eva Mendes, Danny McBride, and Michael Keaton – and primarily follows David’s character “a hipster marketing exec who sells all his shares at a start-up company, missing out on billions when the company’s new product—an electric car—becomes a smashing success.” This new 30-second teaser trailer doesn’t show us much, but with Motolla (Superbad, Adventureland) directing, I’m ready to watch.

While there's still no word on whether or when there will be more "Curb Your Enthusiasm" in the future (a decision that seems to be entirely in Larry David's hands), HBO made fans of the "Seinfeld" co-creator very happy by announcing last year that the network would be producing a movie he wrote and stars in. "Clear History" is directed by Greg Mottola ("Superbad," "Adventureland") and co-stars Bill Hader, Jon Hamm, Philip Baker Hall, Kate Hudson and Danny McBride in the story of an electric car start-up executive who walks away from his share of the company after a fight with its founder (Hamm), only to be humiliated when it ends up being worth billions. He heads to an island off the Massachusetts coast to live under a new identity, only to have a chance at revenge when his former boss ends up vacationing in the same place.

James Franco spent Saturday painting a mural of his "The Is the End" co-stars in Brooklyn, because what else would James Franco spend his Saturday doing?
The 35-year-old actor/director/writer/student/professor/artist/drag-queen impersonator took to a wall near Bedford Avenue and Grand Street in Brooklyn's art-friendly Williamsburg neighborhood. There he threw up a colorful but rather crude portrait of himself, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson.
The title of the mural is, naturally, "This Is the End." Gawker reports that Franco was working with Sky High Murals, which is responsible for many large-scale advertising murals seen around New York and other cities.
This marks another avenue of promoting the apocalyptic comedy, due in theaters June 12. Directed by Evan Goldberg ("Superbad," "Pineapple Express") and Rogen, "This Is the End" features select members of the Judd Apatow clan portraying fictional versions of themselves following a global apocalypse. »

Recognize the guy on the right?
That’s a virtually unrecognizable Larry David in the new HBO movie Clear History (due in August). David stars as Nathan, a hipster marketing exec who sells all his shares at a start-up over a fight with his boss (Jon Hamm, left), only to miss out on billions when the company’s new product—an electric car—becomes a smashing success.
“It ruins his life,” says director Greg Mottola (Superbad), who explains that the comedy then picks up a decade after a humiliated Nathan changes his name and goes incognito.
The movie—which also stars Bill Hader, »
