Morgan Freeman to Star in, Produce ‘Dirty Old Men’
3 November 2009 4:37 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Morgan Freeman has signed on to star in the Warner Bros. comedy Dirty Old Men (working title).
In the film, Freeman will be playing the best friend and wingman of an aging playboy who finally meets the love of his life. After spending 40 years by his friend’s side, Freeman’s character isn’t too willing to give up his position, and does everything he can to try to break up the new couple.
The film was written by comic writers Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge, and the comedic style of Dirty Old Men is said to be along the lines of that in Wedding Crashers and The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
No actor is attached to the film to play the part of the playboy, but Warner Bros. is interested in having Jack Nicholson fill the role. Nicholson and Freeman co-starred in the 2007 Warner Bros. film The Bucket List, and the »

Warner Bros. Picks Up Dirty Old Men
2 November 2009 11:07 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
The good folks over at Warner Brothers have picked up a new spec comedy script by writers Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge, titled Dirty Old Men. The script centers around two old "players", one of which has finally met the love of his life, and the other, his best friend and wingman for the past 40 years, who is determined to break the relationship up at any cost. So, just another comedy script, eh? No sir! The flick so far has the ever busy and always entertaining Morgan Freeman attached to play the role of the wingman, and currently Warners are shooting for a reunion between Freeman and Jack Nicholson, his co-star of the 2007 comedy The Bucket List (which had the two playing a couple of old geezers trying to fulfill a list of their dreams before they kicked the bucket). Nicholson isn't the only one in demand though; the director »

Morgan Freeman Wants To Be a 'Dirty Old Man'
2 November 2009 9:48 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
While Morgan Freeman has dabbled in comedy in his long and illustrious career, I don't think he's ever really gotten a chance to really cut loose. He certainly hasn't gotten to play in the raunchy end of the pool, but it sounds as though he's taking the leap in Dirty Old Men. The Hollywood Reporter says that he's attached to star as an aging playboy in the tentatively titled project, and we'll either be laughing or horribly traumatized by his efforts.
Men was penned by Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge, and is said to be similar in tone to The Wedding Crashers and The 40 Year Old Virgin. It centers on two aging playboys who have been each other's wingmen for over 40 years. One of them meets the love of his life, leaving the other (played by Freeman) to chase skirts on his own. Well, that just won't do. The »

Morgan Freeman Is an Old Dirty Man But Also One with Dignity and Gravitas
1 November 2009 11:23 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
If you want strong, quiet dignity with a voice so reassuring that you want it for every audiobook ever made, you call Morgan Freeman. That’s why him shouting “Somebody kill This motherfucker!” in “Wanted” was one of the best movie moments of 2008. Watching Freeman subvert his image has great comedic potential and it looks like Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge’s script, “Old Dirty Man” may do just that. Hit the jump for more details.
According to THR:
The script, which had a working title of “Dirty Old Men,” revolves around an aging playboy who finally meets the love of his life and his best friend and wingman for the past 40 years (Freeman) who does everything to break up the new couple. The tone is described as similar to “Wedding Crashers” and “The 40-Year-Old Virgin.”

We just updated the path of the live-action The Jetsons, which will move forward without its long-time developer, Robert Rodriguez. The theory being pushed is that Peter Segal (Get Smart) would be brought in to direct. If that does happen, it'll have to wait.
Segal is set to direct a new comedy starring Morgan Freeman called Dirty Old Men, which Warner Bros. just picked up from writers Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge. The Hollywood Reporter says the project "revolves around an aging playboy who finally meets the love of his life and his best friend and wingman for the past 40 years (Freeman) who does everything to break up the new couple."
It's being described as similar to Wedding Crashers and The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Only with an aroma of analgesic ointment. »

'Funny People' arrives on DVD and Blu-ray in time for Thanksgiving
25 October 2009 2:51 PM, PDT | Denver Movies Examiner | See recent Denver Movies Examiner news »
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.
Sandler plays a George Simmons, a popular comedian who is given a second chance at life. Rogen plays his trusty assistance in this sedate comedy. Funny People also stars Jonah, Eric Bana and Jason Schwartzman.
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.
Better hope you don't watch this after you inhale a turkey. This film is on the long side.

Clive Owen and Catherine Keener Have Trust Issues
15 October 2009 7:58 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
When I see a cast lined up that includes both Clive Owen and Catherine Keener, I’m already excited without even knowing what the project is. Owen, to me, is one of the very few remaining actors who carry themselves with the sort of gruff authority that leading men were required to have in the 60s and 70s, while Keener turns in stunning work in every film she’s a part of, from Capote to The 40-Year-Old Virgin to Where the Wild Things Are.
Now, former Friends cast member David Schwimmer has added the two to his cast of Trust, which deals with “the damaging effects an online sexual predator has on a family.” The film will be produced by Millennium Films, which seems to be taking off quite nicely in the past several years with high profile projects like Rambo.
According to Variety:

'Where The Wild Things Are' Stars Reveal Their Histories With The Book

'It was like a big, big deal, deeply embedded in our collective psyche,' Lauren Ambrose says of Maurice Sendak's 1963 classic.

Beverly Hills — It's a rite of passage. It's the flexing of one of our most important muscles: imagination. But most importantly, it's pure and simple fun.
It is the reading of Maurice Sendak's classic 1963 book "Where the Wild Things Are." And for five decades, it has been a childhood tradition.
"It was read to me," 48-year-old Oscar winner Forest Whitaker recalled recently, remembering the first time he became aware of the book that he'll help turn into a feature film this weekend. "First, it was read to me as a kid. And then it was one of those books I was able to like when I got old enough to read. »
Universal Releases Synopses for Green Zone, MacGruber, Untitled Robin Hood Adventure, Get Him To The Greek, Your Highness
12 October 2009 6:20 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Universal Studios has released synopses for some of their major 2010 films and the two that are especially worth reading are “MacGruber” and Ridley Scott’s “Untitled Robin Hood Adventure”. While it might surprise you to hear this, a few people have told me “MacGruber” is going to shock everyone next year as it’s a super-violent, hard-r movie. Also, I’ve heard there are many lines that we’re all going to quote. Did I mention Val Kilmer plays the villain and his name is Dieter Von Cunth? I know, I know–I am just as shocked to report SNL’s “MacGruber” might be a great movie.
As for Ridley Scott’s “Untitled Robin Hood Adventure”, this synopsis is the first real story details I’m hearing about the plot. Since I haven’t watched every version of “Robin Hood”, I’ll let the synopses do the talking, but I »

Interview: "Glee"'s Jane Lynch Got Picked First in High School P.E. (But She's Still No Sue Sylvester!)
30 September 2009 9:15 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Jane Lynch has arrived!
After years of making a ridiculously strong impression in bit parts in movies like The 40 Year Old Virgin and Best in Show, and in TV shows such as Party Down and Love Spring International, Lynch finally has a break-out star turn to call her own.
In Glee, she plays Sue Sylvester, the hilariously tyrannical head coach of the cheerleading squad who is determined to destroy the Glee program in order to co-opt their funding (because, damn it, she needs that fog machine!).
The character, like the show (which was recently picked up by the network for a full season), is wonderfully over-the-top.
Best of all, the show, and Lynch's role in the recent movie Julie & Julia which is garnering talk of an Oscar nomination, is something of a vindication for the 49-year-old actress who also happens to be an out lesbian.

Jane Lynch Talks 'Paul,' Seth Rogen, Simon Pegg And Eating With Aliens
30 September 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
One of the movies we’re watching closely in these parts is “Paul,” the next off-the-wall comedy from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Two of the guys behind “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz.” By now, you probably know that "Paul" has a dream cast which includes Pegg, Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Bateman and Bill Hader. However, little has been divulged about the role played by comedy veteran Jane Lynch – a scene stealer in flicks like “Role Models,” “The 40 Year Old Virgin” and most any Christopher Guest mockumentary you can think of. Until now, that is.
“In ‘Paul,’ I am in one scene, but it’s a pretty cool one,” Lynch explained when we caught up with her recently. “I run this little restaurant called the ‘Ailey-Inn.’”
For those of you who might not get the gag, “Paul” is about some comic book geeks who »
