Two WANDERLUST TV Spots
Check out two new TV spots for the upcoming comedy movie Wanderlust, directed by David Wain and produced by Judd Apatow.
Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston play a high strung New York couple. When Rudd loses his job, they are forced to hit the road. Eventually they end up at a hippy commune where things are a little more relaxed than they are used to.
BRIDESMAIDS 2 Without Kristen Wiig?
One of the biggest box office success stories last year (grossing $288 million worldwide from just a $32 million budget), Bridesmaids, actually was a cute comedy too.
Of course, that’s why Universal wants to move forward with a sequel. Well…ok. Wait a second, they want to do it without Kristen Wiig?
Good luck, guys! I mean, she was the best part of the movie!
Megan Fox THIS IS FORTY Pool Photo
Judd Apatow is currently working on his next film, Knocked Up (2007) spin-off titled “This Is Forty“, which will stars Leslie Mann, Chris O’Dowd, Paul Rudd, Jason Segel and Megan Fox. Over the weekend, Megan posted a photo of herself in a pool alongside co-stars Segel and O’Dowd on her Facebook page with the caption,
“On set of THIS IS 40 with Jason and Chris… Two very handsome, very tall, VERY funny men.”
Melissa McCarthy and Ryan Lee Join Knocked Up Spin-Off
This could be something interesting, indeed. I mean, at least we’ll have a chance to watch Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy and Super 8 star, Ryan Lee together on a big screen.
Of course, it’s going to be a comedy set up at Universal, but unfortunately, at this moment – we’re talking about yet untitled project.
Still, one thing is for sure, it will be both written and directed by Judd Apatow!
But the rest of the cast list also deserves our attention, because it includes Megan Fox, Albert Brooks, Lena Dunham, Chris O’Dowd, Charlene Yi and Wyatt Russell, along with Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann who are set to reprise their characters of husband and wife from Apatow’s Knocked Up.
Bridesmaids Red-Band Trailer and Six Character Posters
From Universal comes a brand new trailer and six character posters for the upcoming Bridesmaids.
Produced by Judd Apatow, the upcoming comedy has Kristen Wiig starring alongside Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ellie Kempe, Chris O’Dowd, Jon Hamm, Matt Lucas and Jill Clayburgh.
Megan Fox and Albert Brooks in Talks for Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up Spin-off
Megan Fox and Albert Brooks are in talks to join Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up spin-off, starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann.
Brooks would play Rudd’s character’s father while Fox’s role is currently unknown.
Rudd and Mann are reprising their characters of husband and wife from Apatow’s Knocked Up in a new story by the writer-director. We’ll see if Apatow is really making substantial change in narrative viewpoint from a previous storyline based around the activities of the series’ principal leading roles.
Apatow is also producing the pic with Barry Mendel and Clayton Townsend. Universal’s vice president of production Erik Baiers is supervising the project for the studio.
Bridesmaids Trailer #2
Here’s the second trailer for the upcoming comedy movie Bridesmaids.
Director Paul Feig and producer Judd Apatow team with co-writers Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo for this comedy about a devoted maid of honor whose life falls into ruin as she plans her best friend’s dream wedding. Upon hearing the news that Lillian (Maya Rudolph) has gotten engaged, ecstatic Annie (Wiig) leaps at the chance to plan the perfect wedding. With the big day rapidly approaching, Annie struggles to put her romantic and financial woes aside in order to give her dearest friend a day of memories that will last a lifetime.
Knocked Up Spin-Off to Include Members Of The Original Cast
Judd Apatow is a busy guy, but it looks that he really enjoys working with some familiar characters. So no wonder we already learned that he’s in charge for both writing and directing a new movie that will be based on characters played by Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd in Knocked Up.
As you know the movie is scheduled for release June 1, 2012, so consider this new feature as some kind of a spin-off (if we could even call it that way).
So, since we have this kind of messy-update, let’s clear things out and see what Apatow had to say about the whole thing in an interview with Screen Junkies. First of all, writer/director explained that “his episodic background in television is why he’s so fond of telling different stories with the same characters, adding that we’ll definitely be seeing other characters from the original ‘Knocked Up’ world when the film hits theaters on June 1, 2012.”
Bridesmaids Trailer and Poster
The first trailer and poster for the upcoming comedy Bridesmaids have hit the web!
Synopsis: This spring, producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, Superbad) and director Paul Feig (creator of Freaks and Geeks) invite you to experience Bridesmaids.
