This is a film I think everyone will be talking about this summer. Lining up a little before the superhero blockbusters kick off in July, we’ll be getting Seeking a Friend for the End of the World with Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, and it looks so good.

We got a lovely first poster for it earlier this week, which gave an indication that this wouldn’t be the kind of apocalyptic disaster movie the title would indicate at all, which is definitely to its benefit.

And now we’ve got the trailer that proves this drama-comedy-romance is going to be brilliant.

“Set in a too-near future, a man searches for a meaningful connection as humanity’s last days are at hand. Can he find his greatest love at the worst possible time? As the respective journeys of Dodge and Penny converge, the two spark to each other and their outlooks – if not the world’s – brighten.”

Lorene Scafaria makes her directorial debut with this from her own script, and alongside Carell and Knightley, we can also look forward to seeing Adam Brody (The O.C.), Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men), Patton Oswalt (Young Adult), William Peterson (CSI), and Gillian Jacobs (Community).

It’s great to see Carell doing so well as he branches out into more drama-oriented comedies, having given such a good performance last year in Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is set to be released in the US on 22nd June, and though there’s no word on a UK release date yet, I’m hoping we’ll be getting it at the same time too. Here’s the trailer to get you excited for it in case you weren’t already. And you can click on over to Yahoo Movies if you’d like to see it in HD.

With one of the longest film titles that I can remember in recent years, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World looks more than a little promising. With a cast led by Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, the film marks the directorial debut of Lorene Scafaria, writer of Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.

Yahoo Movies have the first poster for the film to share with us, and it really is rather beautiful.

“Set in a too-near future, a man searches for a meaningful connection as humanity’s last days are at hand. Can he find his greatest love at the worst possible time? As the respective journeys of Dodge and Penny converge, the two spark to each other and their outlooks – if not the world’s – brighten.”

Looking at Carell in his sweater and hoodie really reminds me of his brilliant performance in Crazy, Stupid, Love. last year, a film that clearly showed that Carell can pull off the drama and romance every bit as well as he can the comedy.

Scafaria is directing from her own script, and has assembled a great cast that also includes Adam Brody (The O.C.), Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men), Patton Oswalt (Young Adult), William Peterson (CSI), and Gillian Jacobs (Community).

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is set to be released in the States on 22^nd June, and with a bit of luck we can look forward to seeing it here in the UK this summer too. As usual with this lovely first poster, you can click to enlarge.

Kate Winslet (Revolutionary Road) and Catherine Keener (Where the Wild Things Are) have signed on to star in Frank or Francis.

Winslet and Keener will star opposite Steve Carell (Dan in Real Life), Jack Black (Be Kind Rewind), Nicolas Cage (Kick-Ass) and Kevin Kline (French Kiss) what’s being described as a “very meta musical comedy”.

Frank or Francis centers on a director (Carell) who becomes obsessed with the message board commenter (Black) critisising his films on a Hollywood website.

Charlie Kaufman (Synecdoche, New York), who has worked with both Winslet and Keener before, will direct his own screenplay.

Production is expected to begin later this year for a 2013 release.

At fortysomething, straight-laced Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) is living the dream—good job, nice house, great kids and married to his high school sweetheart.  But when Cal learns that his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his “perfect” life quickly unravels.

Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local bar, the hapless Cal is taken on as a wingman and protégé to handsome, thirty-something player Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling) who tries to help Cal get over his wife. But despite Cal’s makeover and his many new conquests, the one thing that can’t be made over is his heart, which seems to keep leading him back to where he began.

The casting news in the past few months for Burt Wonderstone has been excellent. The film will see the return of Steve Carell and Jim Carrey after the great Bruce Almighty in 2003 and Horton Hears A Who! In 2008.

Alongside them, we can look forward to seeing Olivia Wilde, Steve Buscemi, James Gandolfini, Brad Garrett, Alan Arkin, and Jay Mohr. ComingSoon.net have got the first pictures from the set, which was filming out in Las Vegas this week, giving us a great first look at Carell, Wilde, and Buscemi.

Carell stars as the eponymous Burt Wonderstone, part of a two-man magician act in Vegas. After his partner (Buscemi) leaves him, he finds himself having to compete with a hot new act (Carrey) and has to convince his partner to come back to the stage.

30 Rock​’s Don Scardino is going to be directing, with the original spec script coming from Chad Kultgen, and re-writes being done first by Horrible Bosses scribes John Francis Daley​ and Jonathan Goldstein, and most recently by Oscar-nominated Jason Reitman​ (Up in the Air). The writing on Horrible Bosses was so good, and Reitman’s work is of course impeccable, so there’s every reason to expect this to be brilliant.

Filming is (obviously) already underway, and hopefully we won’t have too long to wait before it hits the big screen. Casting news towards the end of the year revealed a few actresses being considered for the female lead, and I’m really glad that Wilde was picked, because she’s so good, and is looking brilliant as the magicians’ assistant in these photos. As usual, click to enlarge.

While it didn’t exactly break new territory or impress many critics, Bruce Almighty proved to be a commercial hit with its simple premise and charming allure, raking in an estimated $484M worldwide and spawning a less-than-desirable spin-off that’s better left unmentioned.

It’s no surprise, then, to hear that Universal are looking to capitalise on its success with a long-awaited sequel.

According to the ever-reliable folks over at Variety, feelers have been sent out to screenwriting duo Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel (Hot Tub Time Machine) in the hopes they’ll dream up a story worthy of telling.

Directed by Tom Shadyac, Bruce Almighty starred Jim Carrey (The Mask) as a guy who, after becoming disillusioned by the forces at will, is awarded the powers of God to teach him just how difficult it is to be ruler of all things. Jennifer Aniston (The Break-Up), Morgan Freeman (Red) and Steve Carell (The 40 Year Old Virgin) co-starred.

No further information is known at this point, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated as and when anything new is reported.

How do you feel about a Bruce Almighty sequel? Does it intrigue you or simply send shivers down your spine? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below:

Okay, so this started as a spec script, it then made the oft-vaunted “Hollywood Black List” of acclaimed but as yet unmade films and then, rather than being a Heat-style heist film, it is being re-worked as an Ocean’s 11-style action comedy. As if all of that weren’t enough, Steve Carell, who seems relatively unlikely as an action star, is set to star.

The script tells of a bank robber who, having served a stretch, is recruited by the FBI, Catch Me If You Can-style, to entrap a fellow crook who is planning a big heist. I suppose with films like Pineapple Express showing that unlikely characters can make funny and effective action stars, the success of this one will all come down to the execution. Joel Silver, who knows a thing or two about action films, will co-produce with Carell. No word yet on other casting news or even a director. Jonathan Herman put the script together originally.

Burt Wonderstone is really starting to shape up with its cast recently, with Jim Carrey and Steve Carell confirmed for the leading male roles.

Just a few days ago, Michelle Monaghan, Olivia Wilde, Judy Greer, Jessica Biel, and Sarah Silverman were reported to be on the short list for the female lead, and now word comes from Variety that James Gandolfini, of course well known for his unbeatable performance as Tony Soprano in The Sopranos, is in talks to join the film too.

“Carell stars as half of a once-successful Las Vegas magic duo that must reunite to square off against a hot-shot street magician (Carrey) whose tricks are often dangerous.

Gandolfini is in talks to play Doug Munny, a classy billionaire who owns the Aztec Casino, where the title character and his partner perform their show.”

The role sounds pretty perfect for Gandolfini, who was immense as the head of the Soprano family, and you can already easily picture him as the owner of a casino, with a drink in one hand, a cigar in the other, and a big grin on his face.

Variety also report that the short list for the female lead is getting shorter, with New Line focusing on just Olivia Wilde and Sarah Silverman. Though Silverman may have more experience in comedy, she doesn’t really do it for me with her kind of comedy, so my vote definitely falls behind Wilde, but time will tell.

30 Rock’s Don Scardino will be taking the helm, with the original spec script coming from Chad Kultgen, and re-writes coming first from Horrible Bosses scribes John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, and most recently from Oscar-nominated Jason Reitman (Up in the Air).

Production is scheduled to start in January, and hopefully we’ll be seeing it on the big screen sometime in the following year. Since The Sopranos finished back in 2007, Gandolfini’s been taking fairly low-key roles, but he’ll soon be seen alongside Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock in Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close, and opposite Brad Pitt, Scoot McNairy, and Ray Liotta in Cogan’s Trade, so hopefully if he signs on for Burt Wonderstone, this could be the start of a return to a bigger presence for the actor, which would be a truly welcome one. He’s pretty damn awesome.

Just a couple of weeks ago, we got the brilliant news that Jim Carrey and Steve Carell would be working together again, co-leading the magician comedy, Burt Wonderstone.

The two both starred in Bruce Almighty (I can’t believe that came out eight years ago!), albeit with Carell in a smaller role, and then teamed up to lend their voices for Horton Hears A Who! back in 2008.

The short list for the female lead to star alongside Carrey and Carell in Burt Wonderstone has now arisen, Collider report, and it’s got some pretty fantastic names on it. Michelle Monaghan (Source Code, Machine Gun Preacher), Olivia Wilde (TRON: Legacy, Cowboys & Aliens), Judy Greer (TV’s Arrested Development and Archer), Sarah Silverman (School of Rock), and Jessica Biel (The Illusionist, The A-Team) are all on the list, which is excellent news.

Clearly, sights are being set pretty high for this film, which will focus on the story of a Las Vegas magician (Carell) who strives to remain relevant when a new, ‘hip’ magician (Carrey) arrives on the scene. Don Scardino, whose credits include the brilliant comedies 30 Rock and Ed, will be directing from a script by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who co-wrote the hilarious Horrible Bosses, with Jason Reitman (Up in the Air) currently doing a re-write.

As for who would be best for the female role, I’m inclined to agree with Collider, and think that Judy Greer is arguably the best on the list. If it were a drama, either Monaghan or Wilde would win hands-down for me, but given its comedic nature, and the fact that Carell and Carrey are already attached, I think Greer would probably work best in the female lead – details of which are not yet known.

She was excellent in Arrested Development, and is brilliant in Archer, bringing both a bit of comedy and crazy to the roles in each, and getting to see her star in what will no doubt be a pretty big comedy when it comes out would be great. She’ll next be seen alongside George Clooney in The Descendants in January, and then alongside Jason Segel in Jeff Who Lives At Home next April, both of which should be fantastic. So personally, my vote lies with her. All of the names (though I’m not particularly keen on Silverman, myself) on the list are excellent though, and they would certainly all do a great job in whatever the role calls for. Whoever the part does finally go to, this is definitely a project that’s shaping up nicely so far.

Last summer, Universal’s Despicable Me was a resounding success that was really well received both critically and at the box office, turning a $70m. into more than half a billion dollars worldwide. Very impressive stuff.

Following the great news that Javier Bardem has finally officially self-confirmed his involvement in Bond 23/Skyfall, word now comes that he’s also in talks to lend his voice for the sequel to last summer’s terrific success, Despicable Me 2, THR report.

Co-directors Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud made such fantastic feature debuts with the original, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us with the second film. The plot is currently, and understandably, being kept under wraps, but I’d be willing to bet that it’s going to be another great one from the pair.

If talks go well, Bardem will be playing the role of a new villain, El Macho, who has a son by the name of Machito.

Steve Carell, who’s really been doing well for himself for some time now, will be returning as the loveable lead, Gru, and the majority of the rest of the cast are expected to return for the sequel too.

Despicable Me 2 is currently tentatively scheduled for a 3rd July, 2013 release date, which puts it just a few weeks before Monsters University on 19th July – two awesome sequels to look forward to in close proximity. With that date still being a while off, I’ll leave you with this great video from the first film showing the adorable Agnes (voiced by Elsie Fisher) in slow-motion. You’ve no doubt seen it before, but it maintains its brilliance no matter how many times you watch it. Enjoy.

Jim Carrey (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) has landed a lead role in Burt Wonderstone.

Carrey will star opposite Steve Carell (Crazy, Stupid, Love) in the John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein-scripted comedy-drama.

Burt Wonderstone centers on a famous but jaded Vegas magician (Carell) who fights for relevance when a new, “hip” street magician (Carrey) appears on the scene.

Don Scardino, who is known for his work directing episodes of 30 Rock and Law & Order, is attached to direct.

Carrey was last seen in the mildly successful Mr. Popper’s Penguins.

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 talents of Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Kristen Wiig and Julie Andrews.

Apart from that, details are thin on the ground, but it’s safe to say this will be one of 2013′s most anticipated releases.

The first thing to remember about Crazy Stupid Love is not to classify it as a romcom. Yes, the plot is centred on romantic relationships, but its comedy far outweighs the romcom elements.

The casting of Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone and Kevin Bacon in one film is faultless, and the film is almost equally so. With the release date the end of September, and because Steve Carell gets equal, if not more, screen time than the nearly photoshopped perfection of Ryan Gosling and his abs, means that it hopefully won’t restrict its audience to couples of groups of girls and will actually remind people that a romcom means romantic comedy, and doesn’t always equate to chick flick.

Steve Carell plays Cal, a married man with three kids, whose wife (Moore) announces one evening in the middle of a restaurant she wants a divorce, and has cheated on him with a work colleague named David Lindhagen (Bacon). Devastated and friendless now that all their married friends have been forced to pick sides, he finds himself alone and drinking Vodka cranberries every night in a local bar. It’s there he meets Jacob (Gosling), a suave and smooth talking womaniser who decides to take pity on Cal, take him under his wing and teach him how to become a man. While tutoring Cal, Jacob meets the only woman to resist his charms, Hannah (Stone).

The calibre of actors in this film is evident enough that you’re going to enjoy this film without a doubt. This year has been one of Gosling’s best; along with this film his rap sheet includes the award winning films Blue Valentine and Drive, and the forthcoming film The Ideas of March, while Emma Stone who has stunned audiences in past films Superbad, Zombieland and Easy A stars in the highly anticipated films The Help and The Amazing Spiderman. Although well known for The Office, Carell has shown his comedic side in films from The 40 Year Old Virgin, Get Smart, and Date Night. Not only are the adult actors superb, but the kids steal their fair share of scenes as Jonah Bobo plays son Robbie, hopelessly in love with his babysitter Jessica (Analeigh Tipton) which produces a very amusing side plot, and is determined to get his parents back together.

One thing that makes Crazy Stupid Love stand out is that it has a twist. Not an earth shattering changes the whole meaning of the film twist, but an I Did Not See This Coming I Might Die Of Laughter twist that ensured everyone in the cinema was doubled over with laughter. The chemistry between Carell and Gosling is utterly fantastic, and the whole cast just seemingly fit together.

The script is good, but in other actors hands this film could have gone a completely different way. As it stands Crazy Stupid Love is an example of how comedy and romance can work together to produce a fantastic and utterly enjoyable film you’ll want to watch again the moment you leave the cinema.

Warner Bros. have released these three new themed trailers for their new comedy, Crazy Stupid Love with each trailer focusing on each of the topic areas! The movie has a fabulous cast including Steve Carell , Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, John Carroll Lynch, Marisa Tomei, Kevin Bacon, Jonah Bobo, Analeigh Tipton, Josh Groban, Liza Lapira and Joey King.

Synopsis: At fortysomething, straight-laced Cal Weaver (Steve Carell ) is living the dream–good job, nice house, great kids and marriage to his high school sweetheart. But when Cal learns that his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore ), has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his “perfect” life quickly unravels. Worse, in today’s single world, Cal, who hasn’t dated in decades, stands out as the epitome of un-smooth. Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local bar, the hapless Cal is taken on as wingman and protege to handsome, thirtysomething player Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling).

In an effort to help Cal get over his wife and start living his life, Jacob opens Cal’s eyes to the many options before him: flirty women, manly drinks and a sense of style that can’t be found at Supercuts or The Gap. Cal and Emily aren’t the only ones looking for love in what might be all the wrong places: Cal’s 13-year-old son, Robbie (Jonah Bobo), is crazy about his 17-year-old babysitter, Jessica (Analeigh Tipton ), who harbors a crush on Cal. And despite Cal’s makeover and his many new conquests, the one thing that can’t be made over is his heart, which seems to keep leading him back to where he began.

Crazy Stupid Love is directed by Glenn Ficarra & John Requa and will be with us 2nd September.

Crazy

Stupid

Love

Crazy, Stupid, Love is a funny and fresh romantic-comedy that does a lot of things right and uses the charm and beauty of its actors to enhance a good script and keen direction.  It’s the kind of movie that you can’t help but get lost in and makes for one of the best romantic-comedies of the year.

The movie juggles many different story lines and characters, but mainly revolves around Cal (Steve Carell), a newly divorced man who was married for 25-years and had only ever had sex with his now ex-wife Emily (Julianne Moore), his high-school sweetheart.  Meanwhile, Cal and Emily’s son Robbie (Jonah Bobo) is in love with the babysitter Jessica (Analeigh Tipton), who is secretly in love with Cal; I know, I know, but stay with me.  After Emily reveals to Cal that she had an affair with a co-worker David Lindhagen (Kevin Bacon), Cal ends up in a bar to drink his sorrow away.  This is where Jacob (Ryan Gosling) comes in.  The previous night Jacob struck out with Hannah (Emma Stone) and now has decided to take Cal under his wing and teach him the way of the lady’s man.

This is a set-up that in lesser hands would be a recipe for disaster but thanks to a tightly written script from Disney-Pixar scriber Dan Fogelman, the story actually works and its maturity and wit shines through.  The direction by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa takes all of the good things about the story and enhances them by making the characters believable and keeping them from going over-the-top, which makes the whole film feel genuine and gives these characters real pull and likability.  Simply put, it’s nice to see a romantic-comedy that is actually quite funny.  Carell gives a great perform here, and plays the character with restraint when he has to but knows when to let lose, with all the nuance that comes with Carell’s comedy background.  Gosling is very charismatic in the role of the absolute stud, and displays some very impressive comedic chops to his already dynamite acting ability.  Probably the most interesting and funny characters in the film are Kate (Marisa Tomei) and Hannah (Emma Stone). Stone in particular plays the one that got away from Gosling and injects humor and smarts into every scene she is in.  All of the performances in the film make for an ensemble that’s hard to beat within the genre.  All of this culminates in an ending that is sure to surprise and will definitely have you talking all the way out of the cinema.

Crazy, Stupid, Love is not without flaws though.  It’s not abundantly clear why Gosling’s character has decided to help Carell’s character and much of the story with Robbie and the babysitter Jessica seems to distract from the main storyline a little more than is necessary.  These are minor quarrels within the story and are necessary evils for the film to pay-off in the end, but to call the film a prefect rom-com is an inaccuracy, but what romantic-comedy is?

All in all, Crazy, Stupid, Love despite minor  is one of the best romantic-comedies of the year, and will hopefully lead to more films using love for more mature and funny storytelling and less for crazy and stupid films.
