Ben Stiller And Robert De Niro Get Chummy On Little Fockers Set
27 October 2009 9:22 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
There's not really a lot to see behind the scenes of Meet the Fockers. Sure, some enterprising photographer may catch shots of some kind of outdoor toilet gag or Ben Still vs. Robert De Niro wrestling match, but mostly it's normal looking people, wearing normal looking clothes, standing around a normal looking set. Then again, seeing photos of De Niro and Stiller palling around are kind of fun in their own way. That's what Faded Youth Blog has snagged, showcasing about 10 shots of the two actors standing around the set, wearing the "Visitor" badges that suggest they're visiting the school where Laura Dern has been cast as headmistress. Check out two of the shots below, and keep an eye out for when the truly weird set photos start surfacing. »

Streisand's Movie Wig Sells For Thousands
19 October 2009 8:57 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
A wig worn by superstar Barbra Streisand in 1970 movie musical On A Clear Day You Can See Forever has fetched $3,500 (£2,335) in a charity auction.
The hairpiece was among 400 of Streisand's personal items which went under the hammer at the two-day sale at Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles at the weekend (17-18Oct09).
A robe the star wore in 1973 romantic drama The Way We Were sold for almost $6,000 (£4,000), while a costume she donned in Ben Stiller comedy Meet the Fockers was snapped up for $3,500 (£2,335).
The auction also included several items of furniture from Streisand's own estate, such as a Stickley china cabinet, which went for $15,000 (£10,000).
Profits from the sale have been donated to her Streisand Foundation, which gives grants to various good causes. »
Laura Dern Gets Focked
19 October 2009 3:02 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
I won't really feign the sort of enthusiasm it takes to talk about a movie like this - the third in a series that will see Ben Stiller get punched in the balls a few times and have his childhood embarrassments brought back up at the dinner table. Meet the Fockers was steeped in more of the same enough, but I'm not sure I really care about what might as well be called America's Funniest Home Videos: The Movie. Still, Laura Dern is a bad ass. And that has my interest piqued, because if she brings the same chops she's famous for (and the same pair of Mom Jeans from Jurassic Park) to her role in Little Fockers, there might be a beacon of light shining from the film. According to Hollywood Reporter, she's signed on to play a headmistress at the school the Focker children attend. The usual suspects are back - Robert DeNiro, Ben Stiller »

Laura Dern Joins Little Fockers
18 October 2009 11:56 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Laura Dern will be joining Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner, Owen Wilson and Jessica Alba in Little Fockers; part three of the series that began with Meet the Parents in 2000 and continued With Meet the Fockers in 2004.Dern will pay the headmistress of the elementary school that Gaylord and Pam's children attend, and that Stiller will no doubt burn down, or flood, or bring disaster to in some hilarious unforseen fashion. Sounds like a fun franchise outing for the actress, who has preferred to stay below the studio radar lately, with appearances in low-key fare like Tenderness and Year of the Dog. She won a Golden Globe for her performance in the TV movie Recount, but missed out on an oscar nomination for Inland Empire, despite David Lynch's high-profile campaign.No news yet on whether Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman are returning for Little Fockers. »

FX Lab: A Conversation with Andrew Clement
15 October 2009 11:26 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
From working FX on SNL and Letterman to creating monsters for Dark Shadows, Andrew Clement has some tales to tell. Recently-wrapped on the reboot of A Nightmare On Elm Street (for which he redesigned Freddy Krueger), Jason Anders caught up with Clement for a candid conversation about his world of Creative Character Engineering.
Ja/Fangoria: So let's begin with your work as a make-up artist for NBC's Saturday Night Live; tell me about the work you did for the show, how you became involved, the memories you have being around the cast of actors, and which seasons you were involved in.
AC: I wish I had been involved in the first few seasons of SNL, it was such a fertile time for the show. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I’m not quite that old. As it is, I watched those shows in Jr. High and High School, and now I have the DVD’s. »

Barbra Streisand recycled movie set as basement
5 October 2009 5:55 AM, PDT | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
It breaks our hearts here at Team Boxwish to think of movie sets being trashed once production shuts down. Of course, this doesn’t happen with every film, (it could be hard to wipe out some of the stately homes that impress onscreen), but the knowledge that the cute cottage owned by Kate Winslet in The Holiday is no longer with us or that many of the Hobbiton holes from The Lord of the Rings have now been returned to farming land, has us frowning in a most unattractive way. Well it seems that we’re not alone in lamenting this waste as none other than legendary star Barbra Streisand has felt so enamoured with a movie set as to preserve it. Yes, the two-time Oscar-winner grew so attached to the set for her comedy Meet the Fockers that she took some of it home with her. Now that’s one cool job perk! »

Streisand Built Basement With Meet The Fockers Set
4 October 2009 4:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Barbra Streisand refused to allow Meet The Fockers producers to cast away the set's doors - she used the pieces to construct a street in her basement.
The veteran entertainer has spent the last five and a half years refurbishing and building her home, a colonial farmhouse, and documenting the renovation process for a new book.
One of the most interesting features within the property is her basement, which she designed as a row of shops using doors she took home from the set of the 2004 comedy.
She tells U.K. talk show host Jonathan Ross, "I just didn't want a basement. I thought it would be nice to have a street, a street of shops! What happened on Meet The Fockers was they had fabulous doors on the set, so I said, 'What are you going to do with the doors after the picture's over?' They said, 'We dump them, we break them up.' I said, 'No, no, no! I'll take them!'
"So I designed the shops around the doors from the set. I also went and spent two days at the Winterthur Museum, which is the greatest collection of American furniture in Delaware. They have a wide street inside, so i was inspired by that." »
Streisand Injured Massaging De Niro
4 October 2009 7:21 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Barbra Streisand sprained her thumbs giving Robert De Niro a massage while filming a scene for Meet The Fockers.
The veteran actress starred alongside De Niro in the 2004 comedy, in which she plays a free-spirited sex therapist, and the actor demanded she put her all into body rub scene, prompting her to climb onto his back.
But Streisand was forced to halt filming after she injured her fingers forcefully kneading De Niro's torso.
She tells U.K. TV talk show host Jonathan Ross, "That was an idea I had, I thought I should have a scene with De Niro, so they wrote that in at the last minute.
"He kept saying, 'Do it harder, harder!' I'm not a real masseuse! I'll tell you the truth - I sprained both thumbs. I had to have cortisone shots (in my fingers). I got twitches and and I couldn't move them. That's method acting!" »
Is Jessica Alba A Little Focker?
2 October 2009 9:25 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Hollywood stunner, Jessica Alba looks set to join the cast of Little Fockers; the third instalment in the Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro comedy saga that began with Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers.
In the first movie, Meet the Parents, Ben Stiller’s character Gregg is introduced to his partner Pam’s over protective father, Jack (De Niro) – and everything that could go wrong for him does – we all remember the great scene where Gregg presents the family with a bottle of cheap champagne he purchased at a local drug store; while trying to open the bottle, the cork flies out and hits the urn containing the ashes of Jack’s beloved mother, breaking the urn and spilling the ashes on the ground.
In the second movie, the tables are turned and the couple go to meet Gregg’s parents. It’s the total opposite, as the »

Jessica Alba Joins 'Little Fockers'
30 September 2009 3:45 PM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
Just when you thought she disappeared from the planet earth, Jessica Alba has returned to co-star in Little Fockers, the third installment in the ultra popular (and very successful) Meet the Parents franchise. According to The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Biz blog, Alba is in talks to join the comedy as a hottie pharmaceutical rep whose looks drive the male characters wild. Seeing as Ben Stiller's character is a male nurse, one imagines Alba will be in direct contact with him and in full-on seduction mode. Production on the film is set to begin in just a couple of months from now, with Stiller, Robert DeNiro, Teri Polo and Owen Wilson set to return. Little Fockers is said to pick up where Meet the Fockers left off, with Gaylord Focker (Stiller) and Pamela Byrnes (Polo) expecting...

Jessica Alba 'Meets the Fockers': Le sigh
30 September 2009 3:18 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
As we reported earlier today, Jessica Alba is set to join the third installment of the Meet the Parents series. What's that I hear? A collective groan? I couldn't agree more. Considering Alba's career choices as of late (i.e. The Love Guru and Good Luck Chuck), I can't imagine she'll be bringing in the laughs. It's a risky move for a film that has already has high chances of becoming an epic fail, though not in the box office sense. No, it'll probably fare well in that department. But, judging by the slapstick route the sequel, Meet the Fockers, »
