It’s always fun to learn what goes on behind the scenes of a movie, especially one that looks as funny as “Paul,” starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. 
It’s a comedy about two British sci-fi geeks who take an RV road trip to the center of America’s UFO heartland: Nevada’s infamous Area 51. In the middle of the desert, the two buddies encounter a fugitive alien by the name of Paul (Seth Rogen), and reluctantly embark on an adventure that will change everything.
The cast also includes Kristen Wigg, Bill Hader, Jane Lynch, Jason Bateman, Sigourney Weaver, Blythe Danner … [Read More]

The movie "Funny People" arrives in theaters July 31, 2009, and MTV got the scoop from Judd Apatow, Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill at the red carpet premiere. Check out the clips below; view images, watch the trailer and restricted trailer.
Adam Sandler and Judd Apatow: "Funny People" is not autobiographical.

When I heard that Seth Rogen would be starring in "Green Hornet," I was a little surprised. Ok, downright shocked. He just doesn’t seem like the superhero type, but maybe he’s got a new take on the classic hero. 
Now Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Cameron Diaz is in talks to co-star opposite Rogen in the movie. Nothing is firmed up at this point, but Diaz is one of those actresses I can see in pretty much any type of movie. I mostly think of her in romantic comedies, but she seems to jump genres fairly easily.

I’m still wondering whether “Funny People” will be, you know, funny or not. Maybe it’s not supposed to be.
It’s from Judd Apatow (funny), stars Adam Sandler (possibly funny) as a guy diagnosed with a terminal illness (not funny), who takes a young performer (Seth Rogen – funny) under his wing as his opening act. It also stars Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, and Leslie Mann (all funny).
Rated R for language and crude sexual humor throughout, and some sexuality, “Funny People” hits theaters July 31, 2009.
Check out the first trailer here and the official site here. Watch the restricted trailer at ComingSoon.net, … [Read More]

Harold Ramis recently stopped by MTV News to chat about his new Jack Black comedy "The Year One" (in theaters June 19). MTV took the opportunity to ask Ramis about the upcoming “Ghostbusters” remake. He co-wrote the first two “Ghostbusters” movies and also starred in them as the nerdy Dr. Egon Spengler.
Well, guess what?! Ramis (now 64!) says all the original core players are onboard for the reboot, including Bill Murray (Dr. Peter Venkman) and Dan Aykroyd (Dr. Raymond Stantz), who co-wrote the original films. "We’re all going to be in it in different kinds of roles," Ramis … [Read More]

Movie: Monsters vs. Aliens * Trailer * Official Site
In Theaters: March 27, 2009

Runtime: 94 minutes
Directed by: Rob Letterman / Conrad Vernon

MPAA Rating: PG for sci-fi action, some crude humor, and mild language
Gecko Rating:

There’s really only so much you can do with a kids’ movie these days. There’s usually an evil guy, a main character with issues, some kooky supporting characters, and a big crisis that needs to be stopped.
"Monsters vs. Aliens" has all of these elements, but what puts it a notch above most kids’ movies is the animation. The movie is offered in both 3D and … [Read More]

The stars came out in force, including Seth Rogen, Reese Witherspoon, Keifer Sutherland and Judd Apatow, hitting the red carpet for the premiere of "Monsters vs. Aliens," blasting into theaters this Friday, March 27, 2009. Are you taking the kids to this movie? Heck, just go see it yourself. It looks really cute!

Anna Faris will soon be seen in theaters as Brandi in “Observe and Report,” a comedy about a bi-polar mall security guard (Seth Rogen) who’s called on to stop a flasher from, well, flashing. That hits theaters April 10, 2009.
Until then, feast your eyes on Anna Faris’ sexy photo shoot for GQ Magazine. She played the naive, sexy Playboy bunny in “The House Bunny,” and it looks like she’s continuing that trend with this photo shoot, where she dons skimpy duds and lounges by a pool with a furry friend. She may be sexy, but she’s also really adorable!
