See Radcliffe & Kazan Being Cute In New Stills From ‘The F Word’
14 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Nobody likes to be ‘friend-zoned’. It’s happened to everyone (and if it hasn’t happened to you yet, it will…) and it sucks. However, upcoming comedy The F Word is taking on the task of making that awkward phrase funny, with Harry Potter…I mean, Daniel Radcliffe starring opposite the adorable Zoe Kazan.
Directed by Michael Dowse (Goon), Radcliffe features as a hopeless romantic type who falls for Kazan, only to find out she already has a boyfriend. What happens? He is, of course, ‘friend-zoned’. Obviously there’ll be more to the film than that, but I honestly wouldn’t care if it was just the two of them starring at each other for two hours. I loved Kazan in Ruby Sparks; she really brought the character to life and I can’t wait to see her in more starring roles. As for Daniel, I grew up watching the Harry Potter films, »

According to its official synopsis, The F Word will follow Wallace (Radcliffe) and Chantry (Kazan) as they struggle to be "just friends".
Rafe Spall, Adam Driver and Amanda Crew are among the supporting cast of the film, which was adapted by Elan Mastai from a play entitled Cigars and Toothpaste.

First Look: Daniel Radcliffe Friendly with Zoe Kazan in 'The F Word'
13 May 2013 8:40 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Just over a year ago, the hockey comedy Goon from director Michael Dowse went mostly unnoticed, but it's definitely worth seeking out. Now Dowse has his next film waiting for distribution in the form of The F Word. It's not as vulgar as you think as it follows a guy who thinks he has a romantic connection with a girl only to discover that she already has a boyfriend. The word in question is "friends" and Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan (Ruby Sparks) seem to be pretty adorable ones in these first look photos from the film with a script by Elan Mastai, which actually made the Black List in 2008, and is on sale at Cannes this month. Here are the first look photos from Michael Dowse's The F Word via The Playlist: The F Word is directed by Michael Dowse (Goon) and written by Elan Mastai (The Samaritan »

First Photos From The F Word Flaunt A Lovesick Daniel Radcliffe
12 May 2013 7:51 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
A fair amount of Hollywood’s output stems from The Blacklist. About 200, in fact. The F Word is one which found a place in 2008. The list is made up of the best as-yet unproduced screenplays, which are voted on by film industry development executives. It’s a chance for budding screenwriters to upload their spec scripts and see how Tinseltown responds.
One of those success stories, The F Word, was adapted by Elan Mastai, the writer behind, err, Alone In The Dark and Sam Jackson actioner, The Samaritan. Based on the play Cigars And Toothpaste by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi, the film captures the confusion between two friends who realise they quite fancy each other. That’s right folks, the F stands for friends. Not that other word you were thinking. Here’s the official synopsis:
The F Word. It’s not what you think. It means “Friends” as in, »

'This Is the End' Set Visit: "The Human Head Does Not Hold That Much Blood, Right?"
17 April 2013 | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
A curious thing happened on our visit to the set of This Is the End, the directorial debut of frequent collaborators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (Pineapple Express, Superbad) about a group of celebrities (all playing themselves) trying to survive the apocalypse from inside James Franco’s house. A few months prior I’d done an interview with Goldberg for his excellent hockey movie Goon. When asked about how this movie’s apocalypse happens, Goldberg replied, “Exactly how most Christian people expect it to go down is how it goes down.” On set, however, there was a different answer, which is to say there was no answer. Goldberg was cagey about that question, saying, “I’m not really enlightening people as to exactly how that goes down, or...

New Images Of The Apatow Gang In The Apocalypse Comedy 'This Is The End'
10 March 2013 9:38 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The Apatow gang comedy juggernaut just keeps on chugging. Over a decade after they appeared together in "Undeclared" and "Freaks and Geeks," the Rogen-Franco-Baruchel connection brings us the latest in an emerging genre – the End Of The World Comedy (see previous efforts like "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," "It’s a Disaster" and Edgar Wright's upcoming "The World's End"). "This is The End," which Seth Rogen co-wrote with "Superbad," "Pineapple Express," "Green Hornet" and "The Watch" collaborator Evan Goldberg, who also co-wrote "Goon" with Jay Baruchel, is scheduled to be in cinemas on June 14th. The gang play exaggerated versions of themselves trying to find meaning in their lives as they hide out at James Franco’s house during an escalating series of apocalyptic cataclysms. Other regulars Jonah Hill and Danny McBride will feature, as well as Rihanna, the soon to be ubiquitous Emma Watson and formerly ubiquitous Michael Cera. »

The apocalypse-comedy genre meets the funny-folks-playing-parodic-versions of themselves genre in new movie This is the End, which will be released June 14. Written and directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the film finds “Seth Rogen,” “James Franco,” “Jonah Hill,” “Danny McBride,” “Craig Robinson,” and “Jay Baruchel,” waiting out an apocalyptic event at Franco’s (fictional) house. This is the End also features a host of other self-lampooning notables, including Michael Cera, Emma Watson, and Rihanna.
The project’s origins date back to 2007 when Goldberg and Rogen — who also cowrote Superbad, Pineapple Express, and the Green Hornet — made the short film Jay and Seth vs. »

'Newsroom' Star Alison Pill Calls Off Engagement
5 March 2013 7:13 AM, PST | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »
These two young actors have had quite the few months. Less than six months after Newsroom star Alison Pill "accidentally" tweeted a topless photo of herself, Tropic Thunder actor Jay Baruchel took to Twitter as well to announce that the actress had called off their engagement.
"Alone again, naturally. Heartbroken," Baruchel, 30, wrote this past month before announcing his hiatus from the social networking site (the tweets appear to have since been taken down). "I won't be on twitter for a while gang. Getting dumped rules."

According to Us, the couple broke up over the long distance. Baruchel lives in Canada, while Pill, 27, is shooting Newsroom in Los Angeles. The two got engaged in Dec. 2010 after meeting on set of the movie Goon, and were scheduled to wed in Quebec this past September but the plans fell through.

Alison Pill & Jay Baruchel Call Off Engagement
5 March 2013 5:28 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Canada's most beloved couple since Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling have called it quits.
Us Weekly confirms that Alison Pill, 27, and Jay Baruchel, 30, have called off their engagement and broken up. Sources told the website that the pair's long distance relationship wasn't meant to be, as Baruchel was committed to working and living in Canada, while the star of "The Newsroom" felt there were more opportunities for her elsewhere.
The "She's Out of My League" actor first not-so-subtly hinted there was trouble in paradise after he tweeted:
"Alone again, naturally. Heartbroken. I won't be on twitter for awhile gang. Getting dumped rules."
Baruchel later deleted the tweet, but kept to his word and took a few days away from the microblogging site.
The couple met on the set of the movie "Goon," and became engaged in December 2010. Baruchel announced their engagement in March 2011, after he thanked his fiancee while being honored at the Genie awards. »

9 Secretly Beautiful Hollywood Screenwriters
1 March 2013 9:00 AM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
If you're stoked on "Stoker," you can thank "Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller, who is making his screenwriting debut with the gothic Park Chan-wook affair. Miller wrote the script under a pseudonym, and the results ended up on the 2010 Black List of hot screenplays that weren't yet snagged by studios.
Wentworth, we hardly knew ye!
Miller isn't the only surprising star doing double-duty as a writer, either. He joins an impressive list of famous, Hollywood faces that wield a mean pen or, more likely, the latest version of Final Draft.
Her "Parks and Rec" alter ego Ann Perkins is "a beautiful tropical fish" and "a beautiful, rule-breaking moth," and even "a beautiful, talented, brilliant, powerful musk ox," on occasion, according to her Bff Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). Off-screen, Rashida Jones is proving to be a rather formidable creative force as well. She and writing partner Will McCormack penned »

We are back again for our second live blog of the 2013 awards season and tonight it's the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards and it's sort of fun to say that tonight there is actually a reason to watch and pay attention for anyone the least bit interested in the awards race. Will Best Ensemble go to Lincoln? Argo? Silver Linings Playbook? Will it be Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) or Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) taking home Best Actress? And what about Supporting Actor? will it be Robert De Niro (Silver Linings Playbook), Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Master) or Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln)? I think it's safe to assume Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln) and Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables) will go home winners tonight, but otherwise it's a wide open show.
