Kristen Bell Joins Melissa McCarthy & Peter Dinklage In Michelle Darnell

February 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kristen-bellKristen Bell is always a good addition to a cast (it’s surprising she doesn’t get more roles in major movies), and the people behind Michelle Darnell seem to have realised that, as Variety reports that she’s joined Melissa McCarthy and Peter Dinklage in Michelle Darnell.

McCarthy also co-wrote she script alongside Steve Mallory and her hubby Ben Falcone (who will also direct), which ‘follows a titan of industry who is sent to prison after she’s caught for insider trading. When she emerges ready to rebrand herself as America’s latest sweetheart, not everyone she screwed over is so quick to forgive and forget.’

Bell has signed on to play Darnell’s former assistant, who plays a major role in the tale. Dinklage is the main antagonist.

The film will shoot this summer for an release April 2016.

Peter Dinklage Joins Melissa McCarthy In The Comedy Michelle Darnell

February 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

peter-dinklageAfter several seasons of Game Of Thrones intrigue and skulduggery, as well as inventing the Sentinels in X-Men: Days Of Future Past, Peter Dinklage is heading for something a little different as he’s signed up to star in Michelle Darnell, opposite Melissa McCarthy, according to Variety.

McCarthy also co-wrote she script alongside Steve Mallory and her hubby Ben Falcone (who will also direct), which ‘follows a titan of industry who is sent to prison after she’s caught for insider trading. When she emerges ready to rebrand herself as America’s latest sweetheart, not everyone she screwed over is so quick to forgive and forget.’

There are no precise details about Dinklage’s character, but it appears he’ll play the main antagonist. There was a wide variety of stars considered for the role, including Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm and even Oprah Winfrey, but they eventually went with Dinklage after deciding he’d be best to steal his scenes and chew the scenery.

The film will shoot this summer for release April 2016.

Tammy Teaser Trailer – Plus a poster for the Melissa McCarthy movie

February 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Melissa McCarthy is living two lives at the moment. She’s great in movies and becoming a true star, but she’s also stuck in the frankly embarrassing sitcom Mike & Molly, which has achieved the almost impressive feat of managing four whole seasons with only one joke – look fat people!

However she’s spreading her wings on film, co-writing the script for Tammy and producing, while her hubby, Ben Falcone, directs and wrote the script with McCarthy. While we’ve had a couple of images, now the first teaser trailer and poster has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘After losing her job and learning that her husband has been unfaithful, a woman (Melissa McCarthy) hits the road with her profane, hard-drinking grandmother (Susan Sarandon).”

Tammy is due in cinemas at the beginning of July. [Read more…]

January 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Melissa McCarthy is stretching her wings with Tammy, which she doesn’t just star in but also co-wrote and produces. She was also due to co-direct, but in the end those duties went solely to her hubby, Ben Falcone.

Now the first image has arrived, featuring McCarthy alongside Susan Sarandon.

The movie is about Tammy (McCarthy), who loses her job at a fast food restaurant and discovers her husband is cheating on her at the same time. She decides to take a road trip with her profane, whiskey-swilling grandmother (Sarandon). Dan Aykroyd and Mark Duplass also star.

The film will be out this summer.

Susan Sarandon Joins Melissa McCarthy’s Tammy, With Kathy Bates Going Lesbian

March 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

susan-sarandonMelissa McCarthy is set to make her directorial debut this year with Tammy, alongside hubby Ben Falcone, working from a script they wrote together. Now she’s started to pull the cast together, with THR saying Susan Sarandon and Kathy Bates are in talks to join the film, with Deadline adding that Mark Duplass has also signed up.

The screenplay is about a woman (McCarthy) who loses her job at a fast food restaurant and then finds out her husband is cheating on her. She goes on a road trip with her foul-mouthed, hard-drinking grandmother (Sarandon) to escape the problems in her life.

Shirley MacLaine was apparently in talks for the grandmother role, but that didn’t work out, and so Sarandon is on the process of stepping in. Kathy Bates meanwhile will be ‘the grandmother’s lesbian friend who saves the duo from some bad spots’. Duplass meanwhile is a man who McCarthy meets and develops a strange relationship with during the trip.

The film will shoot this spring.
