We’re the Millers 2 Gets A Writer, With Jason Sudeikis & Jennifer Aniston Expected To Return

By Leave a Comment

were-the-millers-preview-pic2After We’re The Millers grossed $269 million around the world you might have expected a sequel to start moving forward in earnest before now. However it’s only now that a writer has been hired to pen a follow-up, with Adam Sztykiel (Due Date) hired to pen the script, according to THR.

The first film followed the misadventures of a drug dealer who realises the only way to get back from Mexico to the US with an RV full of marijuana is to recruit a fake family to help him. However, getting across the border turns out to be the least of their problems. Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, Ed Helms and Will Poulter are all expected to return for the sequel, although not all the deals are in place yet (getting them all lined up appears to be why it’s taken a while to get a sequel moving).

No director is currently attached, although is seems there’s a good chance Rawson Marshall Thurber will be back, as long as the other projects he’s signed up for don’t conflict.

We’re The Millers – Extended Cut (DVD)

By Leave a Comment

I’m not sure when it was that Hollywood decided that it would be best if all comedies were about people who are essentially assholes, but it certainly seems to be the trend. Often it completely ruins the film as it’s difficult to care about unpleasant people being horrible to one another, even if by the end they learn not to be such big assholes. At the beginning of We’re The Millers I was worried that would be the problem here, but almost to my surprise it began to win me over. [Read more…]

Jason Sudeikis Is Sleeping With Other People, Including Kirsten Dunst

By Leave a Comment

jason-sudeikisJason Sudeikis has booked himself a new movie role. Following the success of We’re The Millers, Sudeikis has signed up for writer/director Leslye Headland’s new comedy, Sleeping With Other People, according to THR.

Kirsten Dunst is already on-board the film, which is described as a “biting comedy about a good-natured womanizer (Sudeikis) who befriends a remorseful serial cheater (Dunst). Their platonic relationship reforms their chronic infidelity but sparks an inconvenient romantic attraction to each other.”

Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s Gary Sanchez production company is backing the movie, as they did Headland’s Bachelorette, which also starred Kirster Dunst. The film is currently being sold to potential backers in Toronto, but there’s no word on when it might shoot.

Will Forte & Jason Sudeikis Lock Lips In A New Mumford & Sons Video

By Leave a Comment


Mumford & Sons have certainly pulled in some great comedy names for the video for Hopeless Wanderer. They’ve got Jason Bateman, Ed Helms, Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte to parody the band, with Forte and Sudeikis even locking lips at one point for some full-on saliva swapping.

It’s a lot of fun and it looks like the comedy lads had a good time making the vid, giving a bit of an American country vibe to the British folk band.

It’s not a bad song either. (And just take a look at Jason Bateman’s face in the screenshot below, as he doesn’t seem to be enjoying this bit of man-love). [Read more…]

New We’re The Millers Red Band Trailer – Jason Sudeikis’ gets Jennifer Aniston as a fake wife

By Leave a Comment


Jennifer Aniston obviously didn’t have enough of fake relationships in Just Go With It, as she’s having another one in We’re The Millers. A new red band trailer for the movie has arrived, featuring Aniston alongside Jason Sudekis, Emma Roberts and young British actor Will Poulter.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘David is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids—after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Having been jumped by a trio of gutter punks who steal his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to a drug lord. In order to wipe the slate clean, David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad’s latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbours including a cynical stripper, a wannabe customer and a tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen, he devises a fool proof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny campervan later, the “Millers” are on a roadtrip that is sure to end with a bang.’

It hits US cinemas on August 7th and the UK on August 23rd. [Read more…]

By Leave a Comment

jason-sudeikisCharlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, and director Seth Gordon must like working together as just last week they all agreed to reunite for Horrible Bosses 2, and now THR reports they’re also planning the new comedy One Night on the Hudson.

The film is about a rookie police officer who catches a criminal, both of whom have to go on the run to escape a unit of corrupt cops. It isn’t immediately clear which roles Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis will play at this time, although presumably one will be the policeman and the other the criminal.

T.J. Fixman wrote the screenplay. He’s a video game writer whose credits include Resistance 2, Overstrike, and the Ratchet and Clank series, although this will be his first feature film.

Jason Bateman, Charlie Day & Jason Sudeikis On For Horrible Bosses 2

By Leave a Comment

horrible-bosses-movie-posterHorrible Bosses was a pretty decent sized hit, grossing $200 million around the world on a $35 million budget. Ever since it was released, there’s been talk of a sequel, but it’s only now that it’s really coming together, with the news, via THR, that Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis have finalised deals to return for Horrible Bosses 2. Jamie Foxx is also in talks to reprise his role, although he’s yet to sign on the dotted line.

The original movie followed Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman), Dale Arbus (Charlie Day), and Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis), three friends who are sick and tired of their dreadful bosses. Unable to take anymore, they hatch a plan to get rid of their employers once and for all.

Apparently the sequel will feature a brand new set of bosses, but there is reportedly room for Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston to return (if you’ve seen the first movie, you’ll know Colin Farrell is unlikely to return).

John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein are writing the script, with Seth Gordon returning to direct. The shoot should take place sometime this summer.

The Campaign (DVD)

Director Jay Roach had a bit of a political 2012. He made the HBO Sarah Palin biopic Game Change and the comedy The Campaign. For my money it was the former that was the most successful.

The Campaign is the sort of movie that will divide audiences – if you don’t mind films that leave reality in the dust and find their humour in stupidity, you’ll probably like it, but if you want your films to have some sort of logic to them, you’ll probably give up about 20 minutes in. [Read more…]
