Community star Joel McHale is going to join Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in their upcoming new romantic comedy for Warner Bros. 

The story follow a "recently divorced mother of two boys, Lauren Reynolds, and widowed father of three girls, Jim Friedman, [who] have a disastrous blind date that puts them off dating for the foreseeable future. However, when the two purchase a discount 'Familymoon' vacation from Lauren’s best friend and business partner, Jen, they wind up at an African resort with their kids in tow. Initially acrimonious, their relationship skews, gradually and irresistibly, towards romance."

McHale will play Barrymore’s ex-husband in the film, which is being directed by Frank Coraci from an original script by Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera. Hopefully the movie turns out good. I like McHale, I think he'll make the film that much more enjoyable. 


Adam Shankman to Direct Vin Diesel in THE MACHINE

MGM is in negotiations with Adam Shankman to direct The Machine, the action comedy starring Vin Diesel. The film was scripted by Night at the Museum scribes Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant. Diesel is also producing the project. 

It is a re-team for Shankman and Diesel, who previously worked together on The Pacifier.

In The Machine Diesel will star as a human-like machine created in secrecy by the Pentagon as the world’s first true ultimate weapon, before the project was decommissioned and buried. Two decades later, The Machine is discovered by a kid who befriends him. When the government discovers he has been reactivated, The Machine steps up to protect the family harboring him. 

I enjoyed The Pacifier for what it was. I also find it very funny that Diesel who voiced The Iron Giant will be basically playing that same character. 

Do you think Vin Diesel and comedy are a good mix?

MORTAL INSTRUMENTS Spinoff Film Series Already in Development

The big screen adaptation of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones hasn't even been released yet, but the studio is betting on its success. Constantin Films has already started to develop a spin-off film, based on the spin-off book series called Infernal Devices, which was written by Mortal Instruments author Cassandra Clare

Mortal Instruments centers on a young girl who discovers she is part of a hidden race of angels known as Shadow hunters locked in a battle with warlocks and vampires called Downworlders.

Infernal Devices is a prequel that is set in Victorian England and follows a new teen girl plunged into a journey of adventure and self-discovery. These stories feature the ancestors of several Mortal Instruments characters, and they even include some character overlap. The book titles are Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork PrincessStephanie Sanditz (Kate & Leopold) has been hired to write the screenplay.

I'm not really familiar with these books, but then again I'm not part of the target audience for them. A panel was held for City of Bones at WonderCon a couple of weeks ago, and there was a ton of fans that showed up for it. Apparently the series has a huge fanbase so these movies might end up doing well. 

New Video from the Set of GODZILLA

Here's a good amount of decent footage from the set of Gareth Edwards' Godzilla remake. The footage comes from a news outlet in Vancouver. The footage was taken on Vancouver island, and we get to see some of the military personnel on high alert. There also a good amount of destruction shown, so it looks like Godzilla has been having some fun destroying stuff. The report talks about all the movies that have been shooting in the area, and the benefits that it brings to the community. 

One thing I'm really looking forward to seeing is the new Godzilla design that will be used in the movie. The movie stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche, David Strathairn, Bryan Cranston, and Sally Hawkins. It's set to be released on May 16th, 2014.

Joss Whedon on the Challenge of Making THE AVENGERS 2 and More

You would think that Joss Whedon is feeling the pressure of writing and directing The Avengers 2. As awesome as The Avengers was the fans are going to want to see something better in the sequel. It seems that Whedon is confident though that we're going to like what he has to offer, saying that the outline that he turned into Marvel consists of “seven things worth the price of admission.” In a recent interview with Total Film, the director was asked about the pressure of making this epic sequel, and here's what he had to say...

The only pressure is the pressure that is there every time I do a new project. Is it going to be good? It is going to be different? Is there even a reason to make another one? Is there a reason for this to be my next thing? Can I pull it off? I am not going to try and match the box office of the first one because that would be bonkers. Yes, there is a certain level of safety [knowing there's a huge audience] - because now people know about The Avengers and they like the characters so it probably won't completely crash and burn. But you don't want to just get by and do something that is merely OK. If I am going to dedicate three years of my short life to this then I want to do something that I have never done before. So I think of The Avengers 2 as a glorious challenge - it is a sequel, yes, but how can it be different? Of course, the pressure that I don't feel, my body internalises. It happens all the time. I was comfortable making the first Avengers, but I didn't sleep during it.

Whedon went on to discuss the success of the first Avengers movie, and how it affects his attitude on the other film projects he was never able to get off the ground in the past, like Wonder Woman.

You know, part of the process of dealing with the success of The Avengers has been discovering a vein of anger that I didn't even know existed in me. You do begin to think about when they let you do it, and you get it right, and then you think back to all of the times they didn't let you do it. But I am my own worst enemy. I'm not really good at selling myself or standing up for myself and I have a pathological fear of confrontation, which is not really useful in this industry. There are plenty of times when I could have controlled my own career more than I did. All of these frustrations, and all of these setbacks, definitely surfaced again after The Avengers. So, yeah, you know what? Now I'm really pissed [laughs]. It used to just be my life and my living, and that was fine, but now I feel a bit... See? You see? But I know you can't live your life like that. You have to stay positive.

Staying positive is always the key in any situation. I bet the other studios he has worked with, like Warner Bros., are kicking themselves in the ass now for not letting him make his movies. I'm sure Whedon enjoys knowing that.

The Avengers 2 is set to be released on May 1st, 2015, and I have no doubt that it's going to be incredible!

The first film clip from Sofia Coppola's new film The Bling Ring has been released, and it features Emma Watson doing a little pole dancing. 

In the fame-obsessed world of Los Angeles, a group of teenagers take us on a thrilling and disturbing crime-spree in the Hollywood hills. Based on true events, the group, who were fixated on the glamorous life, tracked their celebrity targets online, and stole more than 3 million in luxury goods from their homes. Their victims included Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, and Rachel Bilson, and the gang became known in the media as "The Bling Ring."

In The Bling Ring, Oscar-winning filmmaker Sofia Coppola takes us inside the world of these teens, where their youthful naivete and excitement is amplified by today's culture of celebrity and luxury brand obsession. The members of the Bling Ring introduce us to temptations that any teenager would find hard to resist. And what starts out as youthful fun spins out of control, revealing a sobering view of our modern culture. 

The film also stars Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, Claire Pfister, Georgia RockCarlos Miranda, and Leslie Mann. The Bling Ring is set to be released on July 14th, 2013.

During a recent press event for Pain & Gain, director Michael Bay was asked if he could use a simple word or phrase to describe Transformers 4. According to comingsoon the director grinned and said...

Chase from Hell.

The epic adventure and battle between good and evil, freedom and enslavement ensues.
