Albert Brooks might join KNOCKED UP spin-off

Albert Brooks is the man. His filmography is long and full of greatness and variety, and he’s had one hell of a career up to this point – one that is still thriving. He is one of the comedic gods that has been entertaining us for more than four decades now.

Now he looks to be bringing that greatness to Judd Apatow’s next film, which is a spin-off to his second feature KNOCKED UP. Brooks is very close to being cast in the film, in the role of Paul Rudd’s father. It’s a role that sounds absolutely perfect for Brooks, and there would be a whole lot he can do with the role. Not to mention the promise of Brooks and Rudd playing off each other. Both are so funny, I can’t imagine how funny it will be to have them quipping together.

Unfortunately, you can only pick so many movies with “love” in the title. We pulled it off, hilarity ensued.

Clint Eastwood’s J. EDGAR is quickly turning into a highly anticipated project, partly because the director being so high profile, but mostly because of Leonardo DiCaprio and the rest of the knockout cast.

Jason Bateman updates on ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie

The ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie is an allusive beast. It always seems like it’s coming and we get updates on it constantly but have yet to see it come to fruition. This could mean several things. First, it might not be coming out the way that Mitch Hurwitz was hoping it would. Second, it could be coming out so incredibly well and he wants to make sure it is perfect.

This most recent update, from Jason Bateman, suggests toward the second scenario. You can check what he had to say after the break. Continue reading “Jason Bateman updates on ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie” →
