Here's a new red band trailer for the upcoming comedy The Kings of Summer, which features Nick Offerman yelling at a teenager about masturbating and saying "fuck you" to a police officer. What else could you possibly want from a movie?
Alison Brie was "sick" so she couldn't make it to her appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Her Community co-star Gillian Jacobs filled in, but somebody should probably check on Alison Brie to make sure she's not strung up in TV appearance-hungry Gillian Jacobs's attic or something.
Four of your favorite actors, Will Ferrell, Allison Brie, Nick Offerman, and Liam Neeson all just joined the voice cast of Lego: The Piece of Resistance, Variety reports. It was previously announced that the film, a 3D animated movie based on the popular toy blocks, also features the voice talents of Chris Pratt, Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks, and Morgan Freeman, making for quite an eclectic and exciting cast. The movie's being directed by Phil Lord & Chris Miller (21 Jump Street, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) and follows an ordinary Lego dude named Emmett (voiced by Pratt) who everyone mistakenly thinks is the key to saving [...]
With the upfronts coming up next week, Joel McHale and Alison Brie reminded us of the benefit of casting such good-looking, charming actors. While McHale was talking about Conan getting super drunk at their kids' playdate (take a second to imagine how fun that playdate was…k, seconds over) and discussing the finer points of leather pants wearing with Andy, Brie was animaling balloons, kind of flirting with Garry Shandling (who can blame her), and talking about getting an unfortunate massage (unfortunate for her, not the guy who saw her butt). If only Nielsen ratings were decided by charm, Community would trounce those Big Bang Theory nerds. After the jump, [...]
"Because of the delays, her two shows shot simultaneously, so Brie would sometimes have to run between both sets in the same day. 'That’s when I’m most excited and feel like it’s all happening, you know what I mean?' she says. 'I liked shooting at Mad Men and then going over to Community and literally taking my hair down. Because Community really feels like the parents are gone and we’re all just having crazy sleepovers and making blanket forts.'” – An excerpt from the New York Magazine profile of Alison Brie, which features a surprising amount of discussion of her feet and the fans of them.
Community star Alison Brie has joined the cast of a promising new comedy called Search Party, The Wrap reports. The film follows two roommates, played by T.J. Miller (She's Out of My League) and Adam Pally (Happy Endings), going to dangerous lengths to get their buddy Nardo (Thomas Middleditch, The Campaign) back from Mexico after he's stranded there, naked. Brie will be playing a co-worker and love interest of either Miller or Pally's character. Rasing Hope's Shannon Woodward recently signed on to play Middleditch's character's girlfriend. This is shaping up to be a pretty impressive cast made up of funny young people who haven't had the chance to [...]
Hey internet, here's a video of Community stars Alison Brie and Danny Pudi doing a freestyle rap. It will probably be at a million hits by the end of the day, and you can be a part of the magic now before it's too late!!
Well, this seems like a fun time. The best part, other than all the parts, is that Alison Brie isn't even in this movie. She must've just did this as a friendly gesture. Meaning Megan probably texted her one Sunday and been like, "Hey Al, we are shooting this promo thing for a movie we're in that Nick produced. You want to appear in it and maybe stay for dinner. Nick is grilling some steaks, you know Nick, and I'm making a salad with some veggies I got from the Silverlake farmers market." (Megan Mullally is famous for long texts.) This movie doesn't come out until next March, so [...]
Here is Alison Brie performing in her band The Girls, which undoubtedly is a comment on the much talked about television program Girls. Here is how I know:
1. Her band is named Girls, like the show's name, despite the fact that there already is a successful band named that. 2. She is singing a song called, that's right, "Rich Girls", which features the lyric: "You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far/Cause you know it don't matter anyway/You can rely on the old man's money/You can rely on the old man's money". She might as well just summarize the plot of the pilot, amirite? 3. She [...]
"I felt like I've been doing three years of comedy boot camp, and when the opportunity came to do The Five-Year Engagement, I felt very prepared and confident in my comedic skills because of the training that I got on Community…I also just worked on a film called Get a Job, and my character is odd — sort of inappropriately sexual and just weird — so Dylan Kidd, the director, gave me a lot of freedom to have fun and play around and try to say the weirdest things that I could come up with. I know that he is a fan of Community as well, so I think that it's the work that I've [...]
Here's Community star Alison Brie on the latest episode of Paul F. Tompkins's excellent web series Speakeasy. Tompkins talks to her about GIFs, Dungeons & Dragons, Nathan Fillion, her cover band, Community, Mad Men, and tons of others stuff that's fun to talk to Alison Brie about.
"I think I was 17 or 18 at the time. A friend of mine who I did drama with… goes, “They’re looking for young, cute, fun girls to be clowns"… I would literally drive into Compton, change into my clown gear, and then drive to whatever party. It was an awesome job… My clown name was Sunny; it was pretty straightforward. I had a yellow wig and a yellow suit, and I did my own face paint, of course. I also did characters sometimes, like Cinderella and Snow White and Powerpuff Girls, which was the worst, because you had to wear a little mini dress, but then a huge head that just [...]
Alison Brie is charming and funny and such but she tends to talk about only two things when she goes on talks shows: going to art school and times when she was naked. Last night on Conan, she did both in one story. Apparently, when she was in college, everyone thought it was hilarious when she would jaunt around campus with no clothes on. Sure Alison, they all liked seeing you naked because it was funny, not because you are a super attractive person. I bet there were plenty of conversations like:
"Who is that super attractive female sitting naked in that tree?"
"Oh, that is future television star [...]
It was hard to get a sense in the trailer if Five-Year Engagement, the new film from Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller, is going to be good. The pedigree is there both in front and behind the camera but the trailer included a pretty awful "I heard that black pianese are much bigger" joke. So what have the critics been saying?
Currently, it's at a 60% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 59 on Metacritic, which is definitively in the pretty good range. (In comparison, Forgetting Sarah Marshall clocked in at 84% and 67 respectively.) What's interesting is most of the negative reviews and positive reviews [...]
