'Glee' Castmate's Dream Guest Star? Reba McEntire!

11 November 2009 3:00 PM, PST | Extra | See recent Extra news »

"Glee" star Chris Colfer tells "Extra" he's enjoyed covering Top 40 artists like Beyoncé as a member of the high school choir on the hit Fox show, but you shouldn't expect to hear any Garth Brooks or Carrie Underwood tunes performed on the show.

"I couldn't do country, with all due respect to all country music artists," says Colfer, who plays Kurt.

First Kick-Ass Trailer Bursts Onto the Scene

11 November 2009 5:51 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

There was an immensely positive buzz going on about Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic Kick-Ass at San Diego Comic Con this year. Some who saw footage from the film are saying it is the most phenomenal comic book movie of all time, which is high praise indeed.

I don’t quite get that from this trailer, but I see the potential. I think the film will obviously venture into gritty territory that this green-band trailer can’t explore, so I’m definitely going to withhold judgment until I can see the final product.

That said, this movie has a great young cast: Chloe Moretz (from 500 Days of Summer), Aaron Johnson from the upcoming Nowhere Boy, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse from Superbad.

Check out the trailer below, and make sure to catch the film when it’s released on April 16 of next year.

Kick-Ass teaser!

10 November 2009 1:00 PM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

The new teaser for the sardonic superhero flick Kick-ass seems to do a decent job of getting the premise across: a geeky teen randomly decided to become a costumed vigilante, and kinda sucks at it. Superbad's Christopher Mintz-Plasse is a colorful competitor named Red Mist, and Nic Cage and Chloe Moretz play a violent father-daughter crimefighter team (Mark Strong is the gangster in their sights). The flick comes from director Matthew Vaughn (Stardust, Layer Cake), who independently financed the movie, based on the high-concept (and endlessly delayed) comic series by Wanted writer Mark Millar. »

Fashion fix: Vintage Nathan Turk western shirt from Superbad

6 November 2009 4:18 AM, PST | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »

Back in 50s showbiz circles, if you wanted a western shirt you went to Nathan Turk. He included the likes of Elvis Presley and Roger Rogers among his celebrity clientele and now, years later, his clothes have now become much sought after vintage pieces with Hollywood still happily flying this fashion flag flag. And one such example of Turk’s retro stylings turned up onscreen in 2007’s comedy smash, Superbad. It’s the blue western shirt as modelled on Jonah Hill’s character, Seth and though this exact one is no longer available, we’ve tracked down a lookalike that we think is sure to have all McLovins drooling with jealousy. »

Owen Wilson is in Marmaduke's doghouse

3 November 2009 8:43 AM, PST | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »

Because starring in just one movie about a giant dog wasn't enough for Owen Wilson, the actor has just signed on the dotted line to provide the voice for Marmaduke in 20th Century Fox's live-action/CG movie. I don't berate Wilson for taking a paycheck, and he's got the right kind of personality to make the pooch's pipes interesting, it's Fox that I have disdain for. Really, Fox? It wasn't enough to inflict pain upon us with two Garfield movies? Your investors weren't satisfied with all that money made by the talking rats in the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie? Why do you guys have to be the talking animal movie studio?

Sigh.

The logline for Marmaduke has the Winslow family pack up and move from Kansas to California. Their dog Marmaduke is big, produces a lot of dog slobber and creates chaos at every opportunity. Family friendly comedic hijinks ensue! »

Kick-Ass Actors Compare Comic Book Cred

3 November 2009 3:18 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

Actors who sign up for comic book movies often have to do a bit of research to familiarize themselves with the characters and concepts, especially when the movie they're starring in is based on a property that's not as widely known. For at least two actors starring in director Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of the Kick-Ass comic book by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr., research material could be found in their own homes.

Superbad star Christopher Mintz-Plasse and bit player Clark Duke team up once again in Kick-Ass, and they told MTV that they were both familiar with the comic book before signing on to do the movie. Mintz-Plasse, who played the unforgettable character McLovin in Superbad and dons tights as The Red Mist in Kick-Ass, said:

I got the script and said, "I've seen this name before," and went through my dad's comics, pulled out the first issue and read it. »

Official Trailer for How to Train Your Dragon

2 November 2009 1:44 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

A little while ago, a teaser trailer for Dreamworks’ How to Train Your Dragon hit the internet but it was such poor quality that it really didn’t do the film justice. This would probably be the reason why Paramount asked us a day or so later to pull the video. A couple of weeks later, a proper teaser trailer came out with the exact same footage and to say it was tons better would be an understatement.

Today, thanks to Trailer Spy, Dreamworks has released the official trailer for How to Train Your Dragon in glorious HD and it is beautiful. The story is based on the 2003 children’s book by the same name written by Cressida Cowell. The movie is set in the land of Vikings and dragons and follows a Viking boy named Hiccup on the island of Berk. For Hiccup and his people, fighting dragons is an everyday occurrence. »

Trailer: The Darkening Sky

2 November 2009 12:28 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

We first told you about Rider Strong (Cabin Fever)'s new flick The Darkening Sky way back in August, and now, just in time for Afm, the flick has gotten itself a brand spankin' new trailer.

Ezra Buzzington (Halloween 2, The Hills Have Eyes), Charley Rossman (Superbad, "CSI"), Sally Berman (Angels and Demons), Daniel Kirschner, and Lashan Anderson have all signed up to join Strong in Victor Bornia's new flick.

Synopsis

When an alien abduction nightmare is revealed to have been much more than a dream, a skeptical grad student studying the “modern mythology” of UFOs and ETs finds himself confronting an impossible reality involving shape-shifting extraterrestrials, implanted objects, organ harvesting, and humans possessed by a malevolent alien presence unlike anything he has ever heard about... All while dealing with a growing suspicion that he is somehow the center of the aliens' plan.

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 »

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. »
