When it comes to interviewing people in the film industry, there are a great many unwritten rules if you want to be considered professional: Be reasonably respectful and polite, don’t beg for autographs and don’t dribble on yourself. Beyond that it helps to have some idea what to ask, and it’s certainly considered a bit [...]
Co-writer and star Jason Segel and director James Bobin courageously embraced the arduous task of recapturing the magic of The Muppets for a new generation, safe in the knowledge that the adult ‘kids’ out there who remember the show first time around would only need a few bars of Sam Pottle and Jim Henson’s iconic [...]
From the creators of Cyrus, Jay and Mark Duplass, Jeff, Who Lives at Home has been given a new poster this week.

After getting great reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival, the Duplass brothers’ upcoming film Jeff, Who Lives At Home looks to be one of the funniest comedy-dramas of the year. Led by Jason Segel and Ed Helms as brothers Jeff and Pat, the film was co-written and -directed by Jay and Mark Duplass, and [...]
While the world (or America at least) is agog with the mighty Muppets back in cinemas there’s another project from Nicholas Stoller and Jason Segel on the way, and today we’ve got the first look at a trailer and poster for The Five-Year Engagement. The film is produced by Judd Apatow, Shauna Robertson, and Rodney [...]
More Muppets today, with a well-timed jab to the ribs of The Twilight Saga in the midst of its global release week, and these new posters are just perfect. With any other film there would be a distinct danger of oversatuaration but this campaign has been running for a long, long time (and thanks to [...]
Disney have released a sneak peek at the opening dance sequence from the highly anticipated The Muppets this week. The clip is short but it certainly lets us know what we are in for. And that’s a whole load of fun, familiar faces and goofiness. Now all we need is for February to hurry up. [...]
With the release of The Muppets a few months away (10th February, 2012), Jason Segel has this week confirmed that his character from Knocked Up will return in Judd Apatow’s This Is Forty and that he also hopes to make a new puppet film in vein of Goonies and Labyrinth. Now that we’re all excited [...]
In the past few years, Jason Segel has really been making a name for himself as one of the most lovable, friendly guys in comedy, with a pretty awesome recognisability factor, starring in Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and of course TV’s How I Met Your Mother, to name just a few credits. Deadline now report [...]
Everything, and I mean everything, that we’ve seen so far for the upcoming feature film The Muppets has been amazing, and I think it’s a pretty fair assessment to say that an enormous number of people are looking forward to this film. The film has been written by Jason Segel and fellow collaborator Nicholas Stoller [...]
Universal Pictures have unveiled a promo poster for Illumination Entertainment’s Despicable Me 2. Despite not being released until July 3, 2013, directors Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud are already hard at work on the follow-up to last years surprise animation hit, which has since grossed an estimated $543M at the worldwide box office and boasted the voice [...]
Will Gluck’s latest film has a lot to live up to with last year’s Easy A quickly becoming a hit and keeping Emma Stone’s star firmly in the ascendant. Friends with Benefits has Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis getting to know each other very well indeed while keeping the trappings of a full on relationship [...]
Dylan (Justin Timberlake), a talented art director for a small, bouquet-y online website in Los Angeles, travels to New York to touch base with GQ Magazine in regards to a high-profile position there.

The Duplass Brothers have a lot of goodwill and momentum following their leap into the mainstream with Cyrus last year and fans of their mumblecore work, notably Baghead, will be very interested to see how their new film, Jeff Who Lives at Home, will fare when it plays at Toronto in a couple of months. [...]
Jacki Weaver was largely unknown outside her native Australia until the wave of acclaim she has received for her portrayal of Janine ‘Smurf’ Cody in writer/director David Michôd’s powerful crime family saga Animal Kingdom. Ms. Weaver’s stunning performance has earned her award recognition at home and abroad, including Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for Best [...]
Whether it was a clever move to jump on the Green Lantern bandwagon or a cunning plan to undermine the, toxic as it turns out, critical appraisal of the superhero film Disney’s new trailer for the forthcoming Muppets movie is yet another example that you don’t need to drench a familiar property in CG to [...]
To say that Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz) is lacking the necessary skills to be a decent teacher would be an understatement of epic proportions. Prone to staggering into work nursing a debilitating hangover and generally treating all her high school students with the utmost contempt, she’s biding her time before its wedding bells for her [...]

Synopsis: Some teachers just don’t give an F. For example, there’s Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz). She’s foul-mouthed, ruthless, and inappropriate. She [...]

One word that will unleash torrents of cherished memories of ROFLing like a tickled hyena, and yet the recent film outings of our furry friends haven’t recaptured the heights of the taking of Manhattan or their earlier, fuzzier films.
