Gary Cole

Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, Gary Cole and Brian Geraghty Join GAY DUDE

A number of actors have joined the cast of the Lionsgate comedy Gay Dude. Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, Gary Cole and Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker) are the latest actors to sign on to the comedy directed by Chris Nelson. The story centers on two high schoolers who make a pact to lose their virginity before graduation. The plan goes awry, however, when one of the friends (Hunter Cope) comes out of the closet. Nicholas Braun plays Cope’s best friend, with Dakota Johnson, Drema Walker and Modern Family‘s Sarah Hyland rounding out the cast.

Variety reports that Offerman, who is the genius behind the character of Ron Swanson on NBC’s Parks and Recreation, will play Braun’s supportive father. Cole plays Cope’s conservative father, Mullally will play Cope’s mother, and Geraghty will take on the role of Cole’s older brother who is still living at home. The film boasts a strong Parks and Rec pedigree, as Mullally has guest-starred multiple times opposite her real-life husband Offerman, and the script for Gay Dude was written by Parks and Rec scribe Alan Yang.

New Trailer and Images for HOP

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 9th, 2011 at 10:06 am

Universal has released a full-length trailer for their upcoming live-action/CGI family comedy Hop.  The film features Russell Brand as the voice of the Easter Bunny scion who doesn’t want the gig of delivering candy to people.  Also, he shits jelly beans.  I never expected to see a trailer where a character shits out jelly beans on to the roof of James Marsden’s car, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer along with some new images.  Hop opens April 1st.

First Trailer for HOP

by Ramses Flores    Posted: November 23rd, 2010 at 3:53 pm

Universal Pictures has released the first teaser trailer for Tim Hill’s (Alvin and the Chipmunks) upcoming CG/live-action family film, Hop.  The film, which comes from the same company who made this summer’s Despicable Me, stars James Marsden (Enchanted) as a slacker who finds himself taking care of the Easter Bunny (voiced by Russel Brand) after he accidentally injures him.  Instead of letting you know what the film is going to be about, the teaser instead features a cute CGI rabbit playing the drums to Song 2 by Blur.  Why?  I don’t really know.   Hop opens on April 1, 2011.  You can hit the jump to watch the trailer and to read a plot synopsis for the film.

WEIRD: THE WEIRD AL YANKOVIC STORY

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 23rd, 2010 at 11:09 am

The comedy wizards at FunnyOrDie have put together a nice little parody of the music biopic with a fake trailer for Weird: The Weird Al Yankovic Story.  Yes, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is a full-length feature that tears apart the genre (and one that people should really see if they haven’t already), but this is good too.  You’ve got Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) as Weird Al plus Olivia Wilde (House), Gary Cole (Office Space), Mary Steenburgen (Step Brothers), Paul Scheer (Human Giant), with Patton Oswalt (Big Fan) as Dr. Demento and Weird Al himself as a callous music executive.

It’s good for a chuckle, and you can check it out after the jump. I’ve also included Weird Al’s music video for “The Saga Begins”, his parody of Don McLean’s “American Pie” but about Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Meanace.

CHUCK The Complete Second Season Blu-ray Review

by Nico    Posted: February 3rd, 2010 at 10:40 am

Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up and be a secret agent overnight?  As the titular lead of the television show Chuck, Chuck Bartowski would probably say it’s not so nice, but he’s had his fair share of adventure and lady love.

For those who need a download of information on the series, brace yourselves.  Chuck works for the Nerd Herd department of a Burbank Buy More store, an ode to Best Buy’s Geek Squad (which, by the way, does have a Burbank location).  Chuck had a simple life until he opens an email sent from his former college roommate and the whole of the United States’ secret information gets downloaded directly into his brain.   More after the jump.

Collider Goes to Dinner With Mike Judge

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: December 21st, 2009 at 8:20 pm

There are two sides to Mike Judge in Hollywood. There’s the TV star, who took a ton of heat but came out as one of the most daring and biting voices of satire in the 1990′s with Beavis and Butthead, and the successful maistream animator with a thirteen season run of the folksy and engaging King of the Hill. Then there’s the film director, who was cajoled into the theatrical Beavis and Butthead Do America, but has worked in live action ever since. He made two films for 20^th Century Fox to see them abandoned theatrically, only for both 1999′s Office Space and 2006′s Idiocracy to now be regaled as cult classics. His most recent film, 2009′s Extract did not set the film world afire (Extract is now available on DVD and Blu-ray), but it showed a less biting Judge doing what he does best: everyday life comedy. Perhaps that’s why it wasn’t abandoned, but it’s also a film that may find more of an audience on home video. My dinner with Mike Judge after the jump.
