Zach Galifianakis Could Sit on a Wall for the Shrek Spin-Off, Puss In Boots
4 November 2009 9:44 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I’m still in awe of how Zach Galifianakis, a terrific stand-up comedian who mostly unknown in the American mainstream, has become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood after his performance in “The Hangover”. Even better, his performance in that film is true to his style of comedy. I never felt that he was trying to be something he wasn’t.
I’m trying to keep this in mind as I read the news that he may be voicing the role of Humpty Dumpty in the upcoming “Shrek” spin-off, “Puss in Boots”. Hit the jump for details.
“Puss in Boots” will be a spin-off/prequel to “Shrek 2″ as the story (scripted by Tom Wheeler) leads up to when Puss (voiced by Antonio Banderas) met Shrek and Donkey in the second film and then totally stole the picture. Salma Hayek will co-star. If Galifianakis decides to take the role of Humpty Dumpty, »

Reese Witherspoon Sheds Some Light On Her Untitled Project With James L. Brooks
3 November 2009 12:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Reese Witherspoon picked up an Oscar in 2005 for her performance as June Carter in the Johnny Cash biopic "Walk the Line," but she's been fairly quiet since then. Working of course, but there's one listing on IMDb for her that's had me curious for ages. After all, it's not every day that you pair a performer of her caliber with James L. Brooks, executive producer of "The Simpsons," for an as-yet-untitled comedy also starring Jack Nicholson, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson. So when MTV reporter Akshay Bhansali ran into Witherspoon last week at the Avon Foundation for Women Awards Gala red carpet, he just had to ask her for an update, perhaps even a title, on the mysterious project.
"We don't have a title, we just wrapped on Saturday," Witherspoon said. "We've been shooting it for the past six months." And what exactly is "it"? Previous reports indicated that the »

Halloween Special Part 2: Michael Myers vs Me
1 November 2009 10:16 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
To bring us out of Halloween I thought I would do a daring deed and take on Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger in a no holds bared face off (literally) where I have watched the entire back catalogue of their films to determine once and for all who is champion slasher, Part 1 was on Jason, Part 2 is Michael Myers.
The three killers have haunted us through our childhoods with each horror legend bringing us movies which have completely terrified and equally bemused us with poor sequels and terrible plots
Beware pictures of blood and gore to follow.
Michael Myers is very similar to Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger in that nothing seems to kill him, but the big difference is that Michael Myers is the only non-supernatural monster out of the three, he is a killing machine that has been shot numerous times, blown up in fire, stabbed »

Steve Carell May Star in Missing Links
26 October 2009 6:18 PM, PDT | movies.about.com | See recent movies.about.com news »
Steve Carell may be filling some of his downtime from The Office with a little golfing, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Carell is considering starring in the big screen adaptation of Espn journalist Rick Reilly's golf novel, Missing Links. Missing Links is set up at Warner Bros with Carell's company, Carousel Productions, producing. The Break-Up screenwriter Jay Lavender is adapting Reilly's novel.
Reilly's book tells the story of three guys from outside of Boston who are obsessed with golf. Although their regular course of choice is the worst public golf course in America, they have a shared dream of one day getting to play on Boston's most exclusive course - the Mayflower. Fed up with having to just dream about the Mayflower's gorgeous, manicured greens, they make a $1,000 bet payable to the first one of the group who plays the exclusive course.
Carell was last seen on the big screen in 2008's Get Smart. »

Ron Livingston Joins 'Schmucks'
26 October 2009 5:50 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Jay Roach's Dinner for Schmucks is adding another seat at the table for Ron Livingston; the movie also stars funny guys Zach Galifianakis, Steve Carell, and Paul Rudd. Dinner is based on the famous French movie directed and written by Francis Veber, Le dîner de cons, otherwise known as The Dinner Game, which won a César for best writing. Dinner is the story of a dining group with a rather interesting twist; they have a contest to see who can bring the biggest idiot to dinner. Soon enough, though, the guests realize their little snarky game isn't so harmless.
The question is, who will be the biggest schmuck? Carell and Rudd star, and either could be schmucky, although Carell can play dumb with a straight face pretty damn well. (He loves lamp, after all.) However, I can't picture Zach Galifianakis as a bougie dinner party guest and not a schmuck. »

Ron Livingston Attending Dinner For Schmucks
26 October 2009 7:31 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The cast for Jay Roach's comedy Dinner with Schmucks is getting downright epic. The French remake already stars Steve Carell as the world's worst dinner guest and Paul Rudd as the guy who invites him, and over the past few weeks we've seen names like Zach Galifianakis, British actress Lucy Punch, Stephanie Szostak, Bruce Greenwood and another Brit, David Walliams, added to the crew. Now they've picked up a guy who's been tragically underused in movies lately. Ron Livingston, who popped up memorably but thanklessly in this summer's The Time Traveler's Wife, will join the dinner party in an unknown role, at least unknown by Variety. The story revolves around a group of friends who invite over, well, schmucks in order to make fun of them, and I can easily see Livingston as one of the regular guests ready to lay into whichever poor sap they invite over next. »
Casting Tidbits: Dinner for Schmucks & Unknown White Male
26 October 2009 7:27 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
With all the random casting news that runs in the trades day after day and the sometimes uncertain nature of talent being attached to various projects, here at FirstShowing we've decided that rather than clogging the newswire with individual stories for every single casting announcement, we're rolling them up into succinct posts called Casting Tidbits. First up, Variety reports that Ron Livingston (Office Space, The Time Traveler's Wife) has joined Steve Carell and Paul Rudd in Jay Roach's comedy Dinner for Schmucks about a group of bourgeois friends who regularly invite the biggest schmucks to dinner and ridicule them. Second, Variety also reports that two gorgeous leading ladies, January Jones (of AMC's "Mad Men") and Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds), have joined Liam Neeson in the action-thriller Unknown White Male. Story centers on a man (Neeson) who awakens from a coma to find that someone else has assumed his identity, »

Dinner For Livingston
26 October 2009 6:53 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Yeah… If you could just… go ahead and act in… Dinner For Schmucks… That’d be great.. Office Space’s Ron Livingston is set to join Paul Rudd and Steve Carrell in comedian heavy ‘Dinner For Schmucks’, the new film from the director Jay Roach, of ‘Austin Powers’ and ‘Meet The Parents’ fame. ‘Dinner For Schmucks’ is actually a remake of French film ‘Le dîner de cons’, which should be comforting to anyone panicking at the idea of an original concept coming out of Hollywood. The film’s protagonist, Tim Conrad, hosts a regular dinner party for his friends, encouraging them to bring along the most idiotic person they can find. These idiots are then asked about their lives, passions, anything to make them talk. Then, after they leave, the group of friends proceeds to mercilessly mock them, the aim being to find the world’s worst dinner guest. Steve »

Ron Livingston Has a Dinner For Schmucks
26 October 2009 6:30 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Ron Livingston is the beating heart of Mike Judge’s Office Space, a movie that has transcended cult status and is pretty much one of the finest comedies to be released in the 1990s. He’s also pretty notable for the role of Captain Lewis Nixon in Band of Brothers on HBO.
Now, he’ll be joining director Jay Roach (Austin Powers, Meet the Parents) for his new film Dinner for Schmucks.
According to Variety, the film “is an adaptation of the Francis Veber-helmed French film Le dinner de cons, in which a group of bourgeois friends regularly invite the biggest schmucks to dinner to ridicule them.”
The cast that’s shaping up for this film is phenomenal. It’ll be headed up by I Love You, Man’s Paul Rudd and The Office’s Steve Carell, who of course acted together in The 40-Year-Old-Virgin. They’ll be joined »

Remember Ron Livingston? He’s the actor who you may know from Band of Brothers, Swingers and one of my favourite films of all time, Office Space. He’s completely underrated as an actor which can be seen in the diversity of characters in Office Space and Band of Brothers.
Variety have given us information today stating that Livingston has joined the new Jay Roach comedy also set to star Paul Rudd and Steve Carell, “Dinner for Schmuck”.
Pic is an adaptation of the Francis Veber-helmed French film “Le dinner de cons,” in which a group of bourgeois friends regularly invite the biggest schmucks to dinner to ridicule them. Livingston’s recent credits include New Line’s “The Time Traveler’s Wife” and the indie “Holly.”
