Alan Partridge

As most probably now know...especially if you've heard any interviews with Steve Coogan lately, a Alan Partridge movie is in the works for definite. Apparently the scripts still being worked on despite the film adaption being mentioned as early as 2006 but Coogan has been doing other things in the meantime.
According to IMDB this film isn't going to be on our screens until earliest 2011 but i still can't wait to see how it is going to be adapted and i'm hoping fans of the show won't be disappointed!

new photos from 'Year One'

Some new images from Harlod Ramis' 'Year One' have appeared over at IMDB and introduce some of the other characters we'll be seeing and maybe hint at plot details.

Clip from Zemeckis' Christmas Carol

Trailer Addict have a little promo clip from what is bound to be a very popular film later this year.
The graphics look pretty good and the mannerisms of Jim Carrey come through perfectly so it should work out to be a good comedy/family film.

Funny People TV Spots

Trailer Addict have got their hands on some new tv spots for Judd Apatow's new film' Funny People'
I've got to say it doesn't look too bad and it's got a great cast of comedians so i can imagine it doing fairly well when it finally gets released in July

Extract Trailer

The new film from Mike Judge (office space, King of the Hill) and featuring the likes of Jason Bateman (Arrested Development), Ben Affleck and Mila Kunis (Forgetting Sarah Marshall).

The trailers gone online on the Apple website and looks pretty funny but the comedy aspect certainly follows that similar to 'Office Space'.
So for any fans of Mike Judge this could be a winner...and could do well based on the trailer!!

Scott Pilgrim website is up!

Just as we saw with Hot Fuzz but possibly not to that extent, Edgar Wright has started saying bits about the film in the form of weekly blogs...so far there's just the one video!

I strongly recommend heading over to the website by clicking the image below!

'The Hangover' slightly longer trailer

Well despite one of my recent posts regarding this new/upcoming film, Total Film have managed to get hold of a newer and longer trailer for 'The Hangover'

Year One Trailer

the new trailer for Harold Ramis's 'Year One' starring Jack Black and Michael Cera is now online and it looks very funny...i quite like the concept and obviously it gave Ramis a lot of possibilities to work with.

i recommend heading over to the apple site and watching it...so click on the image below and have a gander!

The Hangover

The new film from Todd Phillips (old school, Starsky and Hutch) entitled 'The Hangover' looks set to be a rather funny film about a guy who, along with some friends, has a bachelor party which gets out of hand in drink consumption, and his friends wake to find him missing and unable to re-count anything from the night before!

The trailers very funny and hopefully it's not all the comedy that can be found within the film which is due out in June.

Death at a Funeral again??

I was just browsing up and coming films for 2010 and came across THIS

It seems a bit odd that Chris Rock appears to be co-penning a script for a film that only came out a year or so ago and was directed by Frank Oz...HERE

so what's the deal!! I can only imagine it's being remade to target a large American audience as Frank Oz's was set in England..but to remake the story just seems like a waste of time! Besides i really enjoyed the first one and don't want to see Chris Rock shout his way through another film!

Planet 51

I realize the trailers been online for a while now but i've only had time to catch up recently!
Anyway, 'Planet 51' is a new CGI film from Sony pictures and is a story that follows an American astronaut Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker as he land on a planet inhabited by green aliens. It's sort of a twist on the sci-fi genre in terms of alien invasions but the trailer does have a chuckle at moment when 'Chuck' does the moon landing routine.
There's a few other sci-fi references such as a dog with a head of an 'Aliens' alien.
for a slightly better description of the film and the trailer click the image below!

The Boat that Rocked

This film is directed by Richard Curtis and looks like it's going to be very good indeed. It's got an almighty cast featuring the likes of Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Nick Frost and Rhys Darby. Its a Working Title Production (the company that brought you many other Curtis films and the likes of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead).
Apparently the story is about an illegal radio station in the North sea during the 1960's...more news when i know more!!

A Complaint

i have a complaint to make and it regards spoofs...in particular new spoofs! Why are they still being made?
'Meet the Spartans', 'Superhero Movie' and 'Date Movie'...what do they all share in common? Thats right, they're utter rubbish filled with nothing but the worst toilet humour and bangs to the head repeatedly while attempting to cross reference several different films each time and failing miserably...and yet they still get made, and people continue to watch them and so they get more financing and the viscous cycle begins again. So what do we have to look forward to next time, well it goes by the name of 'Disaster Movie'!!! so they're beginning to outline what their movies are like...sheer disasters!
It's bound to cover all the typical disaster films from the last couple of years...it might try and make a joke or two about Cloverfield...but i'm sure it will inevitably end up being that the monster is hurt by banging its head..and possibly a tornado will throw them all into another world briefly.who knows...who cares!
so there is my gripe...what happened to great comedies, ones you could guarantee a laugh rather than the occasional groan...PLEASE STOP MAKING THESE AWFUL FILMS!!
