Simon Pegg Updates Paul

14 hours ago | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

There hasn't been much word regarding Simon Pegg's newest film, Paul, about two British slackers who decide to go to Area 51 in search of aliens after a trip to Comic-Con only to discover an actual alien. There's been one still released, which doesn't really show very much, and actor Jason Bateman talked about getting a gift from his Paul co-stars, but that's about it.

Apparently, even Pegg is aware of the lack of news, because he recently offered an update to his fans in the forum of his web-site.

Hi all

Thought you might like to hear how things are going on the Paul front. It's been a while since we wrapped now and with the absence of Lance B's video blogs, I guess things must seem to have gone very quiet. Rest assured the good (space)ship Paul is progressing apace. Our venerable and brilliant director Greg Mottola »

Idris Elba Interview at McM Expo

2 November 2009 10:40 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

This weekend the streets around the Excel Centre in East London were filled with geeks, gamers, movie-buffs and cos-players, as the McM Expo once more rolled into town.

It’s still a fairly intimate affair, but since its inception in 2002 the Expo has grown from a collectors’ show into a genuinely important, biannual event for the UK anime, comic, computer game and film industries.

One of the highlights of the show this time round was Optimum Releasing’s promotion for their forthcoming film, The Losers.

Based on the comic by writer Andy Diggle and artist Jock, the film tells the story of a team of Special Forces operatives who are turned on by their CIA handlers. The comic itself is a re-jig of a World War II-set comic that ran during the seventies and early eighties.

During the course of the day, Optimum provided Expo attendees with various treats, including »

Seth Rogen has revealed that his girlfriend makes him wear "lame" costumes. The Knocked Up star, who dates director Lauren Miller, said that she insists on him dressing up to celebrate Halloween.

Green Hornet will have 'fast and furious action' says director

1 November 2009 7:16 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

Ever since comedic actor Seth Rogen announced a new Green Hornet movie, superhero fans have feared all the years of work to get the genre taken seriously would be undone.

The later Batman movies of the 90s had made comic book adaptations a neon-lit no-go zone and it took Blade and then X-Men to revive them again. Now we have solid releases such as The Dark Knight and Iron Man delivering accessible, credible hits.

Rogen, previously known as a chubby comedian and not for any action hero roles, has co-written Green Hornet with Superbad partner Evan Goldberg. He will also play the lead role of newspaper publisher Britt Reid who has an alter-ego as the eponymous masked crimefighter, aided by a martial arts sidekick called Kato and a hi-tech car called Black Beauty.

French filmmaker Michel Gondry stepped in to direct the feature earlier this year, and that has gone »

Seth Rogen's Halloween horror

31 October 2009 3:01 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Seth Rogen's girlfriend makes him wear "lame" costumes. The 'Superbad' star hates Halloween but his girlfriend, director-and-writer Lauren Miller, insists he enters into the spirit of the spooky festival and don fancy dress. The 27-year-old actor said: "I have a girlfriend now and I've entered the unfortunate world of paired costuming. It's not fun. I don't recommend it. "I always end up being the lamer half - it's like she's a dog and I'm a fire hydrant or something like that. It's never fun. So maybe I'm dodging a bullet this year." Despite his hatred of dressing up, Seth isn't afraid to have people make fun of him and recently admitted he is enjoying being mocked for his »

What's On: Monsters vs. Aliens Target TV's Mutant Pumpkins

28 October 2009 2:50 PM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

The Counting Crows once sang "We all want to be big stars," and one of the key reasons for that is the easy voiceover work. You show up at some recording studio in the valley for a couple days, knock out your lines while wearing pajamas and then just wait for the junket. Tonight, the Monsters vs. Aliens crew (Reese Witherspoon, Will Arnett, Seth Rogen and Hugh Laurie) reprise their film roles in a 30-minute Halloween special that will air on NBC. And this time, no junket! »

Seth Rogen Updates The Green Hornet

28 October 2009 4:37 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

At a recent press junket for the TV movie Monsters Vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins From Outer Space, Seth Rogen spoke about The Green Hornet, which he is currently shooting and co-wrote with Evan Goldberg (Superbad). Rogen told MovieWeb that it is a relief to finally be working on the oft-troubled movie.

It is [a relief]. An enormous one; constantly. But we still have to make it awesome. So the true relief isn't there yet.

With Stephen Chow dropping out as director and co-star, the release being pushed back five months, and Nicolas Cage also quitting the project, The Green Hornet has had it's share of troubles before it even started production. At one point, Rogen joked that The Green Hornet was never going to be made but would be promoted "for the next 10 years." Now that Rogen and director Michel Gondry are finally working on the movie, Rogen doesn't feel that the pressure's off. »

27 October 2009 10:54 PM, PDT | ScreenStar | See recent ScreenStar news »

B.O.B is back, and that'll be big news for fans of the gelatinous blob who snagged most of the big laughs in the animated film blockbuster Monsters vs. Aliens. And what's B.O.B. back in? Well, that'd be Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space, an original half-hour special premiering Wednesday, October 28, at 8 p.m. Et/Pt on NBC. Set after the events of Monsters vs. Aliens, Mutant Pumpkins finds Susan/Ginormica (Reese Witherspoon) and everybody's favorite monsters -- among them B.O.B. (Seth Rogen) -- working special ops for the U.S. government. And their latest mission finds them in Susan's hometown, where mutant Halloween pumpkins are preparing to take over the Earth. ScreenStar was on the line last week when Rogen talked to reporters about Mutant Pumpkins. Rogen -- the star of Freaks and Geeks (1999-2000), Knocked Up (2007), Superbad (2007), Horton Hears a Who! »

John, Jason and Judd Are Stars and Studs in the Night

27 October 2009 2:29 PM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

John Mayer proved to be the main attraction at last night's Stars benefit gala in La. He cracked a few jokes from the podium, before whipping out his guitar to perform some of his new music that you guys are loving. He was rolling solo for the evening, despite the recent rumors about his romancing Rashida Jones that her publicist denied and of course the ongoing Jennifer Aniston reports. Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann were the evening's honorees, and funny guys like Jason Segel and Seth Rogen came out to toast the duo. There doesn't seem to be much news about Jason's apparent romance with Chloe Sevigny, but his How I Met Your Mother costar Josh Radnor is about to see some on-screen developments with special guest star Rachel Bilson.

Shane Black to Helm ‘Doc Savage’ Movie

27 October 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

Not many people outside of the world of film know Shane Black by name, but most certainly do by reputation. Black is best known for being the driving creative writing force behind such films as Monster Squad, Last Boy Scout, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and all of the good Lethal Weapon films.

Black has been bouncing around for the past few years, with rumors that he would be working on a revamped Doc Savage property, with Schwarzenegger as a strong contender back in the 90s. Well, Arnie may be out, but Black is most definitely in, definitely writing and possibly directing, according to Collider.

“[the film] will be set in the 30s and not modernize the story….The producers of “Doc Savage” are Neil Moritz and Ori Marmur.  They’re the guys who are also producing “The Green Hornet”, “Battle: Los Angeles”, and “Jack the Giant Killer.”  Furthermore, they have a deal »

'Stargate' Gets Its Due, 'Battlestar Galactica' Finds A Plan And More, In The DVD Report For October 27

27 October 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Fifteen years ago I was planning my nights around episodes of "Mystery Science Theater," programming math cheats into my graphing calculator and filming "60 Minutes"-style interviews with Cobra Commander. I was also madly in love with director Roland Emmerich's "Stargate," the German filmmaker's bold sci-fi experiment in 1994 that foreshadowed his big-budget juggernaut "Independence Day" only two years later. "Stargate" is now bowing on Blu-ray as a "15th Anniversary Edition," and it's one of a handful of notable releases during an otherwise forgettable DVD week.

"Stargate" finds Kurt Russell as a suicidal, no-nonsense military officer tasked to lead a group of battle-hardened veterans -- and soft-skinned ninny scientist James Spader -- through a newly discovered wormhole to an unknown destination. The other side winds up being a sandy desert planet whose native inhabitants have kept their human slaves in bondage under the guise of ancient Egypt. It was a wholly original concept, »

Seth Rogen Updates The Green Hornet

26 October 2009 4:37 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

It’s been about a month since our last update on the upcoming Seth Rogen-starrer, The Green Hornet, so we’d thought we’d get you  caught up with what’s been happening with the big screen adaptation.

We’ll talk about a very familiar but almost-forgotten actor joining the cast, Seth Rogen addressing all of the issues that have plagued the film’s production and an explosive issue on set… literally.

Check it out after the jump!

 

Starting in chronological order, at the end of September the crew of the film found an unidentified metal object in a nearby parking lot. Authorities were called in to destroy the object and it turns out it wasn’t a bomb at all. TMZ points out that we’re all hoping the movie isn’t either…

More recently and more importantly, last week Rogen spoke to press for the release of the NBC TV special, »

Shane Black to Pen Doc Savage Movie for Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman

26 October 2009 10:58 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

Well this sounds promising. It seems that 1930s pulp hero Doc Savage is in the process of getting a brand new feature film, one that's being produced by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman of Transformers/Star Trek/Fringe fame. No word on whether or not their buddy J.J. Abrams may have his hand in it as well, but apparently the screenwriter will be none other than Lethal Weapon scripter Shane Black. The scoop comes courtesy of Harry Knowles over at Ain't It Cool News [1], who ran into Black at a friend's birthday party and persuaded him to reveal what he was currently working on. Doc Savage was a popular character in American pulp magazines in the '30s and '40s, who later resurfaced in paperback novels from the '60s through to the 1990s. He was a jack of all trades, an adventurer with top physical and mental capabilities »

Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler want to come over for Thanksgiving.

Due out on DVD and Blu-ray on November 24th, Funny People stars Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann and comes from the mind that brought you The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up.

The film will be released in a single-disc edition, a two-disc Special Edition and, of course, a fancy two-disc Blu-ray edition. All versions will have both the theatrical and unrated versions.

Seth Rogen's a Monster, and NBC nabbed him, the interview

25 October 2009 2:01 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Savant comic impresario Seth Rogen, who portrays B.O.B once again for NBC's "Monsters vs Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space," has had the kind of timing, talent and mentoring that most people would dream of. His career began early, with "Socialist" Jewish parents who nurtured the performer in him and let young Rogen cut class and perform in comedy clubs, just barely out of puberty. Down the road, Judd Apatow spotted Rogen and cast him in "Freaks and Geeks," and the two have collaborated and remained friends ever since. Now, NBC has plans to resurrect B.O.B., the Rogen-voiced monster for their upcoming Halloween DreamWorks animated special, "Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space," which will air »
