The Weinstein Company announced today that ABC has refused to broadcast the commercial spot for its new comedy Our Idiot Brother, unless TWC makes specified cuts. The ad is already airing in its current form on other broadcast and cable networks. The action has prompted TWC to cut a new red band trailer for the film.

“We’d like to dedicate our new red band trailer for Our Idiot Brother to censorship everywhere. Enjoy!!”
Adam Scott to Star in Both My Mother’s Curse and See Girl Run
Prior to his appointment as Assistant City Manager on the NBC comedy Parks and Recreation, Adam Scott already has had grabbed people’s attention with roles in High Crimes, Torque and The Aviator, and easily turned himself into a viable action hero in last summer’s Piranha 3D.

The Weinstein Company Nabbed My Idiot Brother
Check out the latest purchase from Sundance Film Festival – The Weinstein Company nabbed My Idiot Brother.
We already had a little chat about this project, so you probably remember this interesting story, directed by Jesse Peretz.
Guys from TWC already see this project as “fresh, funny and true, with sharp direction, terrific writing and a dream of an ensemble cast…”
Let’s check out the synopsis part once again:
“Ned Rochlin looks for the good in every situation and in everyone, which often puts him at odds with the world around him – especially his family. Upon being released from jail for a stupid mistake, Ned is kicked off of the organic farm he lives and works on by his ex-girlfriend Janet who also insists on keeping his beloved dog, Willie Nelson.
Mila Kunis, Adam Scott, Mark Wahlberg in Seth MacFarlane’s Ted
Mila Kunis and Adam Scott are in negotiations to join the cast of an upcoming Universal and Media Rights Capital’s comedy titled Ted that will be directed by Seth MacFarlane.
Kunis and MacFarlane already work on TV’s Family Guy, so we completely understand and absolutely love his choice (you agree, right?)
Ted is about a guy who wishes as a boy for his teddy bear to come to life, but twenty-five years later, he’s developed a dislike for him.
Mila Kunis will play the girlfriend of the main character, who wants their relationship to go to the next level, which requires losing the bear. In her frustration she looks for solace from her “cad of a boss,” who would be played by Adam Scott.

Piranha 3-D Trailer and Synopsis
The trailer for Alexandre Aja’s “Piranha 3-D,” 2010′s first big 3-D horror film, has been leaked out.
“Piranha 3D” synopsis: In Lake Victoria Arizona, a tremor causes the lake’s floor to open, setting free scores of prehistoric piranhas… Theyre back! Every year the population of sleepy Lake Victoria explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for a single, wild weekend – the 4th of July, a riot of sun, drunken fun and sex-crazed mayhem. But this year, there’s something more to worry about than hangovers and complaints from local old timers. Lake Victoria sits in the crater formed by a prehistoric volcanic eruption, and when earth tremors tear open a crack in the lake floor, all hell breaks through. Piranhas – a million ravenous, razor-toothed monsters, unchanged since the dawn of time. Unstoppable killing machines acting blindly under one primeval impulse: to hunt down anything that moves and strip it to the raw, bleeding bone. In seconds.
Leap Year Review
“Leap Year” tells the story of a successful working woman played by Amy Adams. Her job is to take upper class apartments and furnish them before the realtor starts shopping them. She is very good at her job and once the apartment is sold, she returns and removes all the furnishings. Her opinion is she is selling people a dream. She is also a dominating woman who believes that her strong will is enough to get her anything she wants. When her boyfriend fails to propose to her on the night she believes it is coming, she becomes depressed. Her absentee father (John Lithgow) pops back into her life after a lengthy absence and recounts how her grandmother proposed to her grandfather on Feb. 29 in a Leap Year, an old Irish tradition. She sets off to Dublin, where her boyfriend is on a business trip, with the intentions of proposing to him on Leap Year.
Anna (Adams) is a stereotypically overly organized woman, the type who wipes down the edge of the counter when sipping wine at a bar. Her boyfriend, Jeremy (Adam Scott), is an overworked cardiologist. They live by BlackBerry scheduling.
When Jeremy travels to Dublin, Ireland, for a convention, Anna decides to tag along later and, in an Irish tradition, surprise him by proposing marriage on Feb. 29 – Leap Day. Which might have been a better title, who knows…read more [AZ Central]
