Prince Avalanche is the English-language adaptation the Icelandic comedy Either Way. It premiered at Sundance and recently screened at Tribeca, and now we get our first look with a trailer, featuring Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An odd couple of sorts, meditative and stern Alvin (Rudd) and his girlfriend’s brother, Lance (Hirsch), dopey and insecure, leave the city behind to spend the summer in solitude repainting traffic lines down the centre of a country highway ravaged by wildfire. As they sink into their job in the remarkable landscape, they learn more than they want to about each other and their own limitations. An unlikely friendship develops through humour and nasty exchanges, leading to surprising affection.’

David Gordon Green directs, getting back to his indie roots after the likes of Pineapple Express, Your Highness and The Sitter. It’ll be released in the US in August, but no UK date has been set yet.

The sort-of sequel to Knocked Up, This Is 40, hits UK cinemas on February 14th, and to get us excited things are getting a little rude with a new red band trailer, where Paul Rudd tries to look up his butt and Megan Fox shows off her bra. It looks like it could be a lot of fun.

That involves a lot of dealing with kids, negotiating sex and putting up with the idiosyncracies of life. The film also stars Jason Segel, Chris O’Dowd, Melissa McCarthy and Albert Brooks.

An opportunity arises when she discovers that her boss (Wallace Shawn) is retiring. However if she wants his jobs she’s have to compete with friend/colleague Corinne (Gloria Reuben).

Paul Rudd Makes Secret Film Prince Avalanche

It’s tough to keep a secret in Hollywood, but it seems director David Gordon Green has managed it, as the helmer of Pineapple Express and Your Highness has managed to film a movie called Prince Avalanche, which he shot last month in Texas.

If the film had a no name cast, it might be understandable the film went under the radar, but this one stars Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch. It’s a remake of the 2011 Icelandic road trip comedy Either Way, which is set in the 1980s and follows two highway maintenance men who work in some of the country’s remotest areas. Their friendship has developed over the years they’ve shared time on the road, with much of the movie being their discussions about anything and everything, from their sex lives to their fears.

Although the Variety report about the film isn’t clear whether the new version differs from the original in any major ways, the presumption is that Rudd and Hirsch play two similar men, who chat as the travel the wilds of Texas. There’s no news on when it might hit cinemas.

Anchorman 2 Teaser Poster Arrives – And Director Adam McKay talks up the film

Yesterday we posted the first image from Anchorman, which Ron Burgundy himself had released on Twitter. Today the first teaser poster arrive, promising us that ‘The Legend Continues’ in 2013. The first teaser trailer has also been released alongside The Dictator and will hopefully be online soon.

Director Adam McKay is quoted by Total Film talking up the movie and chatting about the teaser trailer, which was filmed before production starts properly on the film.”Paramount came to us with the idea of the teaser,” explains McKay, “and since we’re writing the script it was a good chance to see the characters and hang out with the actors to inspire writing. All of the actors slipped right into character and they all looked amazing. Paul [Rudd] has a beard and we’re thinking of keeping it. Kind of an Eddie Rabbit meets Serpico look.”

As for what exactly we can expect from the second film, “Nothing’s set,” he says. “Right now I can say for sure there is no Ghost Rider cameo or a scene where Ron fights a wolverine on a nose-diving helicopter. We’re either going to shoot the movie in 3D or 1/2 D.”
