Somebody Up There Likes Me Promo Has Great Fun Telling Us Adam Scott Is A Dick

By Leave a Comment


If you’re hoping to find out what Somebody Up There Likes Me is about from this NSFW promo, you’re out of luck. However it does tell us that Parks And Recreation’s Adam Scott is apparently a dick, while all you need for an independent film is pussy and weed. It’s very entertaining, so take a look. Bizarrely though, despite being in the promo, neither Adam Scott or Alison Brie is in the actual movie.

Rob Byington’s film is ‘A comedy about a man, his best friend, and the woman they both adore watching their lives fly by.’ It stars Nick Offerman, Keith Poulson, Jess Weixler and Megan Mullally amongst others.

It’s in US cinemas now, although no UK date is set yet.

Take A Look Behind-The-Scenes Of The Movie G.B.F. (Gay Best Friend) & Help Fund It

By Leave a Comment


G.B.F. (Gay Best Friend) is set to premiere at Tribeca next month, but it’s still looking for completion funds by launching a crowd-sourcing campaign to raise $30,000 to complete the movie, get it to festivals, pay for the music and help with marketing costs. And to help see if you want to be part of the film, they’ve released a behind-the-scenes look at the movie, which you can watch above.

The film has a great cast including queer actor Paul Iacono (The Hard Times of R.J. Berger), Megan Mullaly (Will & Grace), Michael J. Willett (United States of Tara), Natasha Lyonne, Rebecca Gayheart, Jonathan Silverman and Horatio Sanz.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘G.B.F. tells the story of two closeted best friends, Tanner (Michael J. Willett, United States of Tara) and Brent (Paul Iacono, The Hard Times of R.J. Berger). Brent longs for the spotlight and has a plan that will make him the most popular kid in school. He believes that coming out will make him instantly popular, as the newest must-have teen girl “accessory”: The G.B.F. (Gay Best Friend). Tanner on the other hand, would rather fly under the radar and graduate from high school without ever being noticed.

‘When things don’t go according to plan and Tanner is outed instead of Brent, the two boys go from B.F.F.s to instant frenemies and the three most popular girls in school — queen-of-mean bombshell Fawcett (Sasha Pieterse, Pretty Little Liars), drama club diva Caprice (Xosha Roquemore, Precious) and sweet, Mormon good-girl ‘Shley (Andrea Bowen, Desperate Housewives) launch an all-out social war to win Tanner’s status-enhancing friendship.’

Megan Mullally & Paul Iacono On For Darren Stein’s Gay Teen Movie G.B.F.

By Leave a Comment

Shooting has begun on the fun sounding gay-themed teen film G.B.F. – Gay Best Friend – with Jawbreaker director Darren Stein helming the movie, according to Variety. The plot is about the social warfare that erupts when two gay high school boys realise they must become GBFs to the most popular girls in school to improve their social status.

The great cast includes Megan Mullally, Natasha Lyonne, Rebecca Gayheart, Jonathan Silverman and Horatio Sanz, with younger characters played by Paul Iacono (who recently came out himself), Michael J. Willet (United States of Tara), Andrea Bowen (Desperate Housewives), Sasha Pieterse (Pretty Little Liars), Xosha Roquemore (Precious) and singer-actress Joanna ‘JoJo’ Levesque.

G.B.F. is now shooting in Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley and Pasadena/Glendale.

Hopefully projects like this point the way for the future, where more LGBT-themed movies can attract decent casts and offer the sort of fun plots that will draw in a large audience.
