Since his breakout role in 2007's Knocked Up, Ken Jeong has cemented himself as a comedic force in Hollywood. He's had an array of memorable live-action films where he's played his fair share of crazy characters. In Dreamworks' Turbo, he doesn't fall short of the expectation of eccentricity, lending his vocal talents to a female manicurist named Kim-ly who decides to help finance a racing snail at the Indy 500.
Coming into Bass Player Wanted, there was less than one day to go until the wedding and almost everyone in the main cast of How I Met Your Mother has had some issue simmering beneath the surface. Whether it's been relationship issues, a secret someone is still holding onto, or a secret someone wishes they could've held onto a bit longer, things were getting to the point where they was ready to explode. And, as expected, that explosion occurs in this episode thanks to a devious devil who shows up at the inn.
With all the mindless sequels and reboots that Hollywood has churned out over the last few years, it's always nice when something original and well-written can break through and get a studio release. Unfortunately, many quality scripts can spend years without ever reaching the right executive to give it the green light. In an effort to make the process a little bit better, former production executive Franklin Leonard started The Black List in 2004. Today, the site announced its ninth annual list of the best unproduced scripts.
Identity is a curious thing. Many people spend their entire lives trying to figure out what they want to occupy their time with and who their real friends are. And that's what people do under normal circumstances, so obviously things get a lot more complicated when you have no memory, have had reconstructive plastic surgery and now have no real idea of who you actually are.
Since its founding in 2006, Smokehouse Pictures has produced a solid string of high quality movies, including last year's Best Picture winner Argo. Because of this, I'm always excited to see what founders George Clooney and Grant Heslov have planned. One project that they've had in the works for quite some time is Our Brand Is Crisis, and now it looks like that film could be moving forward as Sandra Bullock is in talks to star.
With the box office failure of Cloud Atlas, some were a bit surprised that the Wachowskis were able to get the money to make a science fiction blockbuster like Jupiter Ascending so quickly afterward. Still, with a premise that's more action sci-fi than passion sci-fi, it doesn't seem like Warner Bros. is taking as much of a risk as some originally thought. Plus, if today's first trailer is any indication, there should be no trouble getting people into theaters for this one.
One of the first steps in what may become a vast expansion of Warner Bros.' DC universe is the announcement of Gotham, a new Fox television show focused on Commissioner James Gordon back when he was a rookie detective. We heard right off the bat that the Caped Crusader wouldn't be featured, but today we have news that the young Bruce Wayne will be a series regular.
Just a week after it was announced that Netflix and Marvel would be assembling for a set of live-action series, news hit the web that Lost writer Drew Goddard would be penning Daredevil. At that time, neither Goddard or Marvel had any comment, but it was basically accepted as fact anyways. Today, we finally have confirmation from Marvel that not only will Goddard be writing the pilot, but he'll direct that episode and serve as showrunner and executive producer for the series.
After months of constant promotional images, teaser clips, and hype for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the big day is finally here. Okay, maybe not THE big day. That's May 2, 2014 when your friendly neighborhood web-slinger heads back to the big screen. But today we've got the next best thing with the first official trailer for Marc Webb's villain extravaganza of a Spidey-sequel.
December is here, the year is coming to an end, and most importantly, this is the last chance for studios to release their 2013 award-contenders. December always means a ton of great movies hit theaters, and this year is no different, meaning you’ll probably want to spend every second possible watching as many movies as you can.
