Jennifer Aniston & Jason Bateman Reuniting For Office Christmas Party

February 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Horrible Bosses co-stars Jennifer Aniston & Jason Bateman have decided it’s time to work together again, as THR reports theyre getting back together to star in Office Christmas Party (although lets hope that’s just a working title, as it’s a dreadful name). Dreamworks is back the movie with Blades of Glory directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon helming from a script by Lee Eisenberg, Gene Stupnitsky and Laura Solon.

TJ Miller and Kate McKinnon are also set to star in the movie, which follows ‘a cast of characters who have to contend with an office party gone awry’. There’s not much more info than that about the movie, but presumably we can expect drunken hook-up, people telling the boss things they shouldn’t and plenty of behaviour they’ll be embarassed about on Monday morning.

The movie will shoot this Spring, with a December 2016 release date already set.

The Gift Trailer – Jason Bateman and Joel Edgerton have secrets

July 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While Jason Bateman is best known for comedy, he’s getting into horror-thriller territory for The Gift.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Can you really go through life having never wronged anyone? Even if you are unaware of how, or when, and even who you may have wronged….chances are there is someone out there who won’t ever forget it…or you.

‘Simon (Jason Bateman) and Robyn (Rebecca Hall) are a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with an acquaintance from Simon’s high school sends their world into a harrowing tailspin. Simon doesn’t recognize Gordo (Joel Edgerton) at first, but after a seemingly coincidental series of encounters proves troubling, a horrifying secret from their past is uncovered after nearly 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to question: how well do we really know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?

‘From the producer of Whiplash and The Purge, Jason Blum, comes a chilling psychological thriller that marks the feature directorial debut of acclaimed actor and writer Joel Edgerton (The Great Gatsby, Zero Dark Thirty, Warrior).’

It’s out in the UK August 7th. [Read more…]

Jason Bateman Set To Direct And Star In IPO Man

October 29, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Following Bad Words and the upcoming The Family Fang, it seems Jason Bateman has really been bitten by the directing bug, as he’s now signed up the direct and star in IPO Man.

Deadline reports he’s up for the film, which is based on a Wired articles called ‘Meet The Man Who Sold His Fate To Investors At $1 A Share’. And that’s a very literal description, as Mike Merrill (to be played by Bateman) did indeed decide to offer stocks in his own life. He offered 100,000 shares at $1 a pop, and managed to sell 928 of them, with investors being allowed to vote on his decisions, such as whether to invest $79.63 in a Rwandan chicken farmer.

Unsurprisingly it caused problems ‘when shareholders demanded control over life decisions like whether to have a vasectomy or even whether he should move in with his longtime girlfriend (and minority shareholder)’. Even at the time the article was written, Merrill was still allowing investors a say in his life, most particularly the future of his love life.

Transparent writers Micah Fitzerman-Blue & Noah Harpster will write the script. It’s not clear when the movie might shoot.

July 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago we got a trailer for Shawn Levy’s dark comedy This Is Where I Leave You, and now it’s been followed up by a poster showing off the film’s large cast, which includes Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Adam Driver, Rose Byrne, Corey Stoll, Kathryn Hahn, Connie Britton, Timothy Olyphant, Dax Shepard and Jane Fonda.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When their father passes away, four grown siblings, bruised and banged up by their respective adult lives, are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother and an assortment of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. Confronting their history and the frayed states of their relationships among the people who know and love them best, they ultimately reconnect in hysterical and emotionally affecting ways amid the chaos, humor, heartache and redemption that only families can provide— driving us insane even as they remind us of our truest, and often best, selves.

The film will hit cinemas this September.
