Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Red Band Trailer – Tina Fey heads for Afghanistan

February 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot-poster1-slideWar and comedy may not seem like easy bedfellows, but Tina Fey is giving it a go with Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. The film, previously known as Taliban Shuffle, is based on a true story of a reporter getting out of their depth in Afghanistan.

Inspired by Kim Barker’s memoir, the film follows her after she first arrived in Kabul as a journalist in 2002. At the time she barely owned a passport, spoke only English and had little idea how to do the ‘Taliban Shuffle’ between Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, her stories about Islamic militants and shaky reconstruction were soon overshadowed by the bigger news in Iraq. But as she delved deeper into Pakistan and Afghanistan, her love for the hapless countries grew, along with her fear for their future stability. Martin Freeman and Margot Robbie co-star.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot  due out in the UK March 4th 2016. Take a look at the new trailer below.

New Sisters Trailer – Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are reuniting

November 21, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sisters-1-sheet-slideSynopsis: ‘Dynamic duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are back this December in SISTERS, the hysterical new comedy from Universal Pictures. The new film from Pitch Perfect director Jason Moore about two disconnected sisters summoned home to clean out their childhood bedroom before their parents sell the family house.

Margot Robbie Up To join Tina Fey In The Taliban Shuffle

October 24, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Margot-RobbieMargot Robbie must have made an impression on directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa on the set of the upcoming Focus, as Variety reports that she’s set to re-team with them for The Taliban Shuffle, which already has Tina Fey set to star.

Based on Kim Barker’s memoir, which follows her after she first arrived in Kabul as a journalist in 2002. At the time she barely owned a passport, spoke only English and had little idea how to do the ‘Taliban Shuffle’ between Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, her stories about Islamic militants and shaky reconstruction were soon overshadowed by the bigger news in Iraq. But as she delved deeper into Pakistan and Afghanistan, her love for the hapless countries grew, along with her fear for their future stability.

Tina Fey is set to be Barker, with Margot Robbie as a ‘hard-core on-air news anchor’ who will do anything it takes to get the story, including putting others in danger.

Ficara and Requa are directing from a script by Robert Carlock.

Jason Bateman & Tina Fey Have A Lot Of Family In A This I Where I Leave You Poster

July 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

this-is-where-i-leave-you-posterA 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.

Tina Fey Is Developing A Disney Witches Movie, But It’s Not Hocus Pocus 2

July 2, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hocus-pocus-slideWhen we first posted this story, it was all about how Tina Few had signed up to produce and possibly star in a sequel to 1993’s Hocus Pocus – but now we’ve had to update it as her representatives have stepped forward to say, “Tina is not developing a sequel to Hocus Pocus.”

However it appears it’s a case of crossed wires rather than complete lie, as Variety reports that Fey is working on a film about Witches for Disney, but it isn’t a sequel to Hocus Pocus.

The earlier reports that said it was Hocus Pocus 2 offered a plot synopsis, but it’s not clear if that relates to the film Fey really is working on at all. It was suggested the film focuses on a housewife (who it was said was related to the Hocus Pocus witches) Sandersons who teams up with a witch hunter to save her kids when they encounter a group of resurrected witches on Halloween.

Fey is set to produce and star in the movie, but it appears that sadly it will have nothing to do with Hocus Pocus – although we think on principle they should find a role for Bette Midler.

Maya Rudolph Reuniting With Tina Fey & Amy Poehler For The Nest

June 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

maya-rudolphmaya-rudolphSaturday Night Live has a long history of forming great personal and professional relationships, and indeed if you look back at Tina Fey’s post SNL career, you can see how many of her former colleagues have been involved in her success.

That’s not changing with The Nest, which already has Fey and fellow SNL alum Amy Poehler, and has now added another in the form of May Rudolph, according to THR.

Even the script comes from a former Saturday Night Live writer, Paula Pell. It’s about two sisters (Fey and Poehler) who decide to throw one last massive party in their childhood home before it is sold. It turns out to be a cathartic experience for the siblings and their friends.

Rudolph will be childhood friend of the sisters, while James Brolin signed on earlier this week to play Fey and Poehler’s father.

Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect) is directing, with a late 2015 release date set.

This Is Where I Leave You Trailer – Shawn Levy does something different with Tina Fey & Jason Bateman

May 28, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Shawn Levy is best known for helming comedies and big family-friendly films such as Night At The Museum, The Internship and Real Steel. However he’s going more towards dramatic dark comedy with This Is Where I Leave You.

He’s certainly teamed up with a great cast to do it, including 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.

tina-fey-amy-poehlerThere’s no doubt that Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are great friends, having hosted the Golden Globes together, and co-starring in the likes of SNL and Baby Mama. Now they’re getting back together for The Nest, according to Showbiz411.

Fey has been attached to the film for over a year, which is about two thirtysomething sisters who discover that their parents are selling their childhood home.

They spend one final weekend together in the house, bonding and feuding before realising that they both need to grow up. Poehler and Fey will play the sisters.

Paula Pell, who served as a writer on 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live, wrote the screenplay, while Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect) will direct.
