by | April 11th, 2013

Here's the trailer for the third and final Hangover movie, which hits theaters May 24th. Up until now the plot has been kept under wraps, but the trailer reveals that it's about Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper's characters taking Zach Galifianakis's character to a mental health center after the loss of his father, only to be stopped by a criminal (John Goodman) who's looking for Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong). Oh, and Melissa McCarthy has a cameo, which is probably like 30 seconds longer than her bit in the trailer.

Don't Hold Your Breath for Another 'Simpsons' Movie

by | March 11th, 2013

If you're hoping for a sequel to 2007's Simpsons Movie, it looks like it's gonna be a while – if it ever happens. Speaking at an entertainment symposium this weekend, creator Matt Groening seemed pretty unenthusiastic about another movie based on the show, now in its 24th season. On the topic of the first movie, Groening said, "It took us four years, and it killed us," adding that the movie "stole animators from the show" and took up other resources. You'd think that the movie grossing over $500 million worldwide would prompt everyone involved to rush to make a second one, but that's not the case. Director [...]

by | April 9th, 2013

While it bombed at the box office during its initial release, Will Forte's SNL spinoff MacGruber has grown into a cult favorite. Forte was asked about the movie this week by EW when promoting Run and Jump, an upcoming drama he's acting in. Forte had this to say:

"We are going to make MacGruber 2 for sure. Whether we have to do it with a video camera in our backyards – there will be some form of MacGruber 2."

With the recent success of the Veronica Mars Kickstarter, that could be a way the MacGruber movie could happen. Says Forte, "Jorma [Taccone], the MacGruber director, he had the idea to do a [...]

Watch a Fake Trailer for 'Pineapple Express 2'

by | April 1st, 2013

Seth Rogen and James Franco just released this fake trailer for Pineapple Express 2, which is really a trailer for This Is the End, an apocalypse comedy that stars them and Pineapple Express co-stars Danny McBride and Craig Robinson and non-Pineapple Express co-stars Jay Baruchel and Jonah Hill. Naturally, the sequel goes exactly where you'd expect it to: Rogen and Franco plotting to kill Woody Harrelson to take his weed. Don't trust any sequel movie trailers today; they're probably all April Fool's gags.
