Brand New How to Lose Friends and Alienate People Pics and Clips
Here are several new promotional pictures and clips from “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People,” adaptation of British writer Toby Young’s memoir.
In this hilariously funny fish-out-of-water tale, “How to Lose Friends & Alienate People” tracks the outrageous escapades of Sidney Young (Simon Pegg), a smalltime, bumbling, British celebrity journalist who is hired by an upscale magazine in New York City. In spectacular fashion Sidney enters high society and burns bridges with bosses, peers and superstars. The film is based on Toby Young’s memoir of the same name and also stars Kirsten Dunst, Danny Huston, Gillian Anderson, Megan Fox, Max Minghella and Jeff Bridges. Directed by Robert Weide, the film will be released by MGM Distribution Co. on October 3, 2008. Continue Reading…
New Simon Pegg’s “How to Lose Friends” Poster
A poster for the upcoming Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz) comedy “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People” has appeared online, featuring the entire cast standing around Pegg.
In the movie, Sidney Young (Pegg) is a disillusioned intellectual who both adores and despises the world of celebrity, fame and glamour. His alternative magazine, Post Modern Review, pokes fun at the media obsessed stars and bucks trends, and so when Young is offered a job at the diametrically opposed conservative New York based Sharps magazine its something of a shock! It seems Sharps editor Clayton Harding is amused by Young’s disruption of a post-BAFTA party with a pig posing as Babe. Thus begins Sidney’s descent into success – his gradual move from derided outsider to confidante of starlet Sophie Maes – and a love affair with colleague Alison Olsen, that will either make him or break him.

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People Movie Trailer
Based on the bestselling memoir by Toby Young, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People follows a disillusioned British intellectual named Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) who both adores and despises the world of celebrity, fame and glamour. Young is offered a job at the diametrically opposed conservative New York City based Sharps magazine, and he soon becomes the talk of the town. Thus begins Sidney’s descent into success – his gradual move from derided outsider to confidante of starlet Sophie Maes (Megan Fox) – and a love affair with colleague Alison Olsen (Kirsten Dunst), that will either make him or break him.
At 48 seconds in length, the trailer is more of a teaser than anything else. I think I’ll need to see a full theatrical trailer before making any judgements. However, I plan on seeing any movie starring Simon Pegg. Plus his supporting cast is hot… I mean, also good.
The title of the book (and movie) is an obvious parody of Dale Carnegie’s bestseller, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Directed by Robert B. Weide (Curb Your Enthusiasm), the movie also stars Jeff Bridges and Gillian Anderson.
