Dumb & Dumber To Is Back In Business
15 hours ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
It's been 19 years since Dumb & Dumber was unleashed onto cinema screens, with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels' unique brand of barmy making them instant comedy heroes. Now it looks like they're back for a second helping of laxatives and chili sauce with Dumb & Dumber To, thanks to those folk over at Universal and Red Granite.Last week, Warner Bros. turned down the pitch made The Brothers Farrelly, despite the relatively low budget and the fact that both Carrey and Daniels were firmly on board, citing the disappointing box office of The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and a general lack of audience awareness. Universal and the Red Granite team - who are best known for Friends With Kids, though they've also got Daniel Radcliffe's Horns and Scorsese's The Wolf Of Wall Street on their slate - aren't so lily-livered, picking up the project and running with it until the cops »
Disney's Million Dollar Arm Starts Filming with Jon Hamm
31 May 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Disney has announced that Jon Hamm's new film, Million Dollar Arm, has started shooting. The movie is being directed by Craig Gillespie (Fright Night), and also stars Bill Paxton, Lake Bell, and Alan Arkin. Here's what the film is about:
Based on a true story, Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” follows Jb Bernstein, a once-successful sports agent who now finds himself edged out by bigger, slicker competitors. He and his partner Aash (Aasif Mandvi) will have to close their business down for good if Jb doesn’t come up with something fast. Late one night, while watching cricket being played in India on TV, Jb comes up with an idea so radical it just might work. Why not go to there and find the next baseball pitching sensation? Setting off for Mumbai with nothing but a gifted but cantankerous scout (Alan Arkin) in tow, Jb stages a televised, nationwide »

Don Draper has gone Disney. With the news of Jon Hamm starring in Disney's "Million Dollar Arm," which centers on the true story of one man's Mumbai discovery of the next pitching sensation in baseball, we take a look at four TV stars who are primarily known for one role -- and what their big-screen prospects are. Who: Jon Hamm. Known for: "Mad Men"'s slick, philandering, brilliant anti-hero Don Draper. Recent movie roles: Hamm showed off his comedic chops in "Bridesmaids," playing a ridiculous cad; he also paired with Kristen Wiig for a low-key turn in his and wife Jennifer Westfeldt's indie production "Friends with Kids," as one half of a relationship that goes from hot to icy cold. Upcoming prospects: "Million Dollar Arm" (above), in which he won't be too far out of his Don Draper wheelhouse, playing a sports agent; and Greg Mottola's promising "Clear History, »

Three actors that could replace Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man
10 May 2013 8:33 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
There was a hope among much of the fans lately that Marvel and Robert Downey Jr. would be able to renegotiate his contract so that he might be able to stay on as Tony Stark Aka Iron Man long past The Avengers 2. Sadly, this is not the case and, moreover, it’s looking like Marvel Big-Wig Kevin Feige has hopes of “James Bond-ing” Tony Stark, which is to say that they want to recast Tony Stark for as long as they can. Given that, here are three actors that would be a good choice to play the snarky billionaire:
Before Downey was cast as Tony Stark, Clive Owen was very heavily in the running for the part. It only makes sense that Marvel would once again go back to the well on this one. The most important thing is that Owen could grow one very nice looking »

Hot Tub Time Machine 2 gets a new lead
8 May 2013 4:35 AM, PDT | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
Hot Tub Time Machine was a lot of fun, more fun than a movie called Hot Tub Time Machine has any right to be, so talks of a sequel have me intrigued. And while director Steve Pink and stars Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, and Rob Cordry (the first movies best part) are all expected to return, John Cusack has taken himslef out of the running, forcing MGM to look for a new lead. Adam Scott (Friends With Kids, Step Brothers) is currently in talks to take the leading role, playing an entirely new character. No story details are available, but no doubt another night of partying and a dip in the titular time machine will play a big part. via The Wrap »

Adam Scott in Talks to Lead Hot Tub Time Machine 2; John Cusack Will Not Return
7 May 2013 2:01 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A bit of a casting change is being made for the sequel to the 2010 comedy Hot Tub Time Machine. Unfortunately John Cusack—the star of the first film—is not returning for follow-up, but on the plus side the very funny Adam Scott is in talks to take over the leading role in the sequel. The Parks and Recreation star is in early negotiations to play an entirely new leading man in the film, as it appears that Cusack’s character will be written out. Original cast members Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry, and Clark Duke are all nearing deals to return, as is director Steve Pink. Hit the jump for more. News of Scott's casting comes courtesy of The Wrap. The actor has shined with supporting turns in films like Step Brothers and Our Idiot Brother and the guy does stellar work on NBC's Parks and Rec, so I can »

Adam Scott For Hot Tub Time Machine 2
7 May 2013 1:14 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
While he’s been a reliable supporting actor for years, particularly in the likes of Step Brothers, Adam Scott has also done good work when he gets the opportunity to be more of a leading man (Friends With Kids). Now comes a chance for even more exposure (possibly literally) because he’s in early negotiations to join the cast of Hot Tub Time Machine 2.Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson and Clark Duke and director Steve Pink are all making deals to return for the sequel, but John Cusack currently is not. Scott, assuming he signs on, is set to play an entirely new lead for the film, which, while plot details are under wraps, focuses on a hot tub that doubles as a time machine. The big question this time is where the four main men will travel and how it will affect their lives. Are they headed for the past, »
Girl Most Likely Trailer Proves Kristen Wiig Is Still Really Funny
3 May 2013 8:26 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Former SNL genius Kristen Wiig made our pants turn yellow with the brilliant Bridesmaids back in 2011. Since then she’s dabbled in a spot of serious drama in Friends With Kids, appeared in an episode of Portlandia and said goodbye to her career on Saturday Night Live. While she’s completed a ton of work in the last year, most of which are in post-production, it feels like it’s been far too long since she’s been on the big screen. Fear not, the first trailer for her latest, Girl Most Likely (previously titled Imogene) has arrived! And it’s dead funny.
Shifting away from the allure of studio flicks, Wiig’s choice to go the indie route appears to have paid off. From directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, Girl Most Likely follows Imogene, a New York playwright who tries to fake a suicide attempt to get the attention of her ex-boyfriend. »

Watch: Kristen Wiig Is The 'Girl Most Likely' In Trailer For The New Comedy From The Directors Of 'American Splendor'
2 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Kristen Wiig exploded after the massive success of "Bridesmaids," but unlike Melissa McCarthy, we have yet to see the cinematic rewards be reaped. Her only notable post-"Bridesmaids" turns were a small part in "Friends With Kids" and another little bit in "Friends With Jolly!," but by the end of year, she'll be back on radars thanks to "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" and "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty" alone. Before both of those, though, another one of her indie films will be hitting the big screen. "Girl Most Likely" -- formerly known as "Imogene" -- has some good pedigree, with Annette Bening co-starring as a reluctantly supportive mother to her neurotic daughter, in the film directed by "American Splendor" helmers Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini . There are shades of "Silver Linings Playbook" in the general premise, which sees Imogene (Wiig) coming under the care of her mom after suffering a breakdown. »

'Mad Men's' Jon Hamm doesn't see Jennifer Westfeldt guest-starring, 'for sanity's sake'
27 March 2013 1:35 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Jon Hamm doesn't mind merging his home and work lives. Occasionally.
The "Mad Men" star was a producer and co-star of "Friends With Kids," the 2011 acting-writing-producing-directing venture by his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Westfeldt. While he says he enjoyed collaborating with her on that comedy, he's not sure she'll turn up anytime soon on his acclaimed AMC series, which begins its sixth season Sunday, April 7.
Hamm confirms to Zap2it that he sees "Mad Men," in part, as "a way for me and Jen to get things done. Raising money and putting things together is hard under the best of circumstances, and we've been able to find fun things to do. And hopefully, we'll find more.
"I'm not a writer," adds the actor who's helped make 1960s ad man Don Draper an iconic television character, "and Jen wouldn't describe herself as a writer, either. She's an actress first, but she'll do »

The Sapphires has posted a solid $US40,900 across four screens in its opening weekend in the Us.
The musical, about four Aboriginal singers who perform for the troops in Vietnam during the late-60s, was the biggest local hit of 2012, grossing $14.46 million in Australia. It also took just under £700,000 in the UK.
The Us marketing campaign has been led by The Weinstein Company and has centred on Chris O'Dowd, who plays the singers' manager, and has a high profile in North America after appearing in Bridesmaids, Friends With Kids, and This is 40.
The film has attracted largely positive reviews and a strong publicity campaign by the five lead actors and director Wayne Blair has included spots on The Jay Leno Show and the The Ellen Show.
Mental will also have a limited Us release on March 29.

The Sapphires Review
22 March 2013 4:04 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
In the vein of 2006’s Dreamgirls, import The Sapphires briskly chronicles the rise of a fictitious all-black female singing troupe, this time comprised of Australian natives and a roguish Irishman who instructs them to the spotlight. While completely unimposing and heaped with clumsy clichés, it’s all more than a little bit charming and benefits from strongly executed covers of some famous soul hits.
Fashioned from rather obvious genre tropes, The Sapphires nevertheless provides a genuinely unique setup and subsequent execution of how these women – three sisters and their cousin – find a measure of recognition. It certainly makes more than a modicum of sense to have this journey set in the land down under seeing as this is from where the film heralds, though having these ladies be of aboriginal descent is fresher. There is no Motown, Harlem or sleazy record labels here.
