Four minutes and 43 seconds has got to be brushing up against some records for longest movie trailer ever. But while not all comedies might be able to pull it off, this trailer makes 21 Jump Street look worthwhile even after watching five minutes of its best jokes. It's got all the Rob Riggle touching Jonah Hill's tongue of the original trailer, plus more angry Ice Cube, frustrated school principal Jake Johnson (who could easily be playing his New Girl character who's quit bartending), and Channing Tatum telling science to fuck itself while standing in front of a white board full of the number 4. In other words, [...]
Jonah Hill's rumored SNL hosting gig is confirmed: he'll take the stage March 10 with musical guest The Shins. Hill should have his work cut out for him picking up the pieces from next week's Lindsay Lohan episode.
Jonah Hill's Allen Gregory, which joined Fox's Sunday night animation lineup in October, has been cancelled by the network after a first season that delivered increasingly poor ratings over time. It's not a huge surprise due to those ratings, but has got to be disappointing for Hill. But on the upside, he is still rich and famous and much thinner than he used to be and probably has Brad Pitt's cell number in his phone.
What say you: did you watch Allen Gregory? Did it deserve the boot?
According to the ratings gurus over at TV by the Numbers, Jonah Hill's animated series Allen Gregory is "now certain to be cancelled." Fox hasn't made any formal announcements, but based on the dwindling ratings — 3.1 million people watched it this past Sunday — it seems as good as done. With Bob's Burgers set to come back at mid-season with a full set of 22 episodes, it seems reasonable enough to expect it to fill in for Gregory once it's officially shown the door. Apparently, there's concern that Gregory is doing so poorly that it's dragging down the entire 9pm block. Yikes. Clearly, only the Belchers [...]
Let's go ahead and declare this afternoon a high school comedy trailer double feature! Act One was Project X; Act Two is 21 Jump Street. The latter stars Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, and Ellie Kemper, which we knew about, but there's also Nick Offerman and Rob Riggle. And Ice Cube, and Dave Franco. And a party! Duh, because parties are an essential staple of the high school comedy. As are drugs and pooping oneself. And those aren't even the best part of the trailer. (The best part of the trailer is when Ice Cube says "Twittersphere.")
