Looks like we found the wrench in the well-oiled machine that is Ben (Adam Scott) and Leslie's (Amy Poehler) relationship in NBC's Parks and Recreation. Comedian Louis C.K. will return to the series as David Sanderson, a Pawnee police officer and Leslie's ex. Guess his job in San Diego is conveniently over.
The wildly funny HBO series, Flight of the Conchords, will be adapted into a film according to one of the show's stars, Bret McKenzie. McKenzie, along with Jemaine Clement, formed their band (also named Flight of the Conchords) in 1998. Instead of playing regular music, the two focused on comedy (think Demetri Martin) and gained a cult following, which led to HBO creating a series for them in 2007. The show ended after two seasons, but the band's popularity remains.
A new trailer for the fourth (yes, fourth) movie in the Ice Age franchise, Ice Age 4: Continental Drift was released earlier this week, and surprise surprise, it features Scrat the saber-tooth squirrel on his never-ending quest for his elusive acorn. Not exactly an innovative movie for a film series that uses nearly identical trailers for each new release.
Warner Brothers is continuing their huge tease of The Dark Knight Rises, the final film in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. The film's highly anticipated prologue will finally be released in select IMAX theaters on December 21. Previous rumors said that it would appear alongside Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (ugh) because of its premiere on the same day, but thankfully AMC announced the preview would only play on 70mm capable screens, which are more common at regular movie theaters, not just special IMAX ones.
In a statement that would probably cause a riot within the more distinguished film community, comedic legend Judd Apatow criticized the Academy Awards, saying comedies have only won Oscars five times in the past "zillion years."
Leslie (Amy Poehler) and Ben (Adam Scott) are in the process of creating Indiana’s smallest park! It’s gonna be great, because there are literally no possible negatives. However, Ben is still torn up about being around Leslie, and announces that after they finish the project, he's leaving the Parks Department.
The Melancholia actress will star in Scott Rudin's Red Light Winter, a story about two friends reconnecting in Amsterdam, until everything changes once they encounter a Red Light district prostitute.
The plot of The Dark Knight Rises is one of the film industry's best kept secrets right now. However, sources close to the film have begun to reveal plot details only insiders would know.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest Snow White movie of them all? Hot on Snow White and the Huntsman's tail is Mirror Mirror, Tarsem Singh's adaption of the fairy tale classic.
A new trailer for the flawless Meryl Streep's latest, The Iron Lady, was released earlier today. Streep stars as Margaret Thatcher, the UK's first (and only) female Prime Minister, and she is as stunning as ever. The trailer changes tone from dramatic, to funny, to inspiring beautifully, and I can already tell this is going to be more than just some historical biopic. Jim Broadbent also stars as Thatcher's husband.
