New Admission Trailer – Tina Fey wants a better job at Princeton University

December 21, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


In Admission, Tina Fey plays Portia Nathan, the assistant admissions officer at the Princeton University, who’s involved with her colleague Mark (Michael Sheen). An opportunity arises when she discovers that her boss (Wallace Shawn) is retiring. However if she wants his jobs she’s have to compete with friend/colleague Corinne (Gloria Reuben).

Her life goes in an unexpected direction when she heads for as experimental New Hampshire school to evaluate students who are applying to Princeton. She finds a connection with the school’s co-founder, John Halsey (Paul Rudd), and he introduces her to precocious college applicant Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), who could be the son she gave up when she was younger.

Based on Jean Hanff Korelitz’s 2009 novel, Admission will be released sometime next year.

Admission Trailer – Tina Fey jockeys for position at Princeton University

November 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


You gotta love Tina Fey, and while she hasn’t had a huge amount of success with movies she’s starred in (Baby Mama in particular should be struck off her CV), she’ll be hoping for more success with Admission. In the film she is Portia Nathan, the assistant admissions officer at the Princeton University, who’s involved with her colleague Mark (Michael Sheen). An opportunity arises when she discovers that her boss (Wallace Shawn) is retiring. However if she wants his jobs she’s have to compete with friend/colleague Corinne (Gloria Reuben).

However her life goes in an unexpected direction when she heads for as experimental New Hampshire school to evaluate students who are applying to Princeton. She fins a connection with the school’s co-founder, John Halsey (Paul Rudd), and he introduces her to precocious college applicant Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), who could be the son she gave up when she was younger.

Based on Jean Hanff Korelitz’s 2009 novel, Admission will be released sometime next year.

Paul Rudd May Take Admission Opposite Tina Fey

March 15, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few days ago we reported that Owen Wilson was eying a role in Admission, opposite Tin Fey, with both of them going in a less overtly comic direction for the film than we tend to associate with them. Now the LA Times suggests Wilson has decided against the movie and Paul Rudd is interested in taking his place, with early talks taking place between the actor and filmmakers.

Based on Jean Hanff Korelitz’s novel, Fey will play an Ivy League admissions officer named Portia Nathan whose relationship with a 17-year-old recruitment prospect threatens to unravel her personal, romantic, and professional lives. Rudd would play a teacher at an alternative high school who falls for Fey.

Fey has now committed to the movie, although Rudd is currently less certain. Director Paul Weitz hopes to shoot the movie in June, once Fey has finished the current season of 30 Rock.

Tina Fey & Owen Wilson May Seek Admission

March 5, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For a couple of months, Tina Fey has been thinking about starring in Paul Weitz’s movie Admission, which surprised some as the film appears to be a drama rather than her more usual comic territory. Now it appears she may get some company in the movie from another actor stepping outside his comedy safe-zone, as Vulture reports that Owen Wilson is mulling over a role in the film.

Based on Jean Hanff Korelitz’s novel, ‘Fey would play an Ivy League admissions officer named Portia Nathan whose relationship with a 17-year-old recruitment prospect threatens to unravel her personal, romantic, and professional lives. Wilson, we hear, would play a teacher at an alternative high school who falls for Fey.’

Fey is apparently close to signing, while Wilson is currently weighing his options, which likely include other roles that will pay better than this one. However, after the success of Midnight In Paris, he may well be looking for other projects that potentially give him the same critical response as Woody Allen’s flick.

Weitz hopes to shoot the movie in June, once Fey has finished the current season of 30 Rock.

Being Flynn Trailer

November 15, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


After the likes of Cirque Du Freak and Little Fockers, director Paul Weitz wants to show another side of himself with an adaptation of the memoir Another Bullshit Night in Suck City. Unsurprisingly the title has had to ben changed to somehting a little less evocative, so they’re calling it Being Flynn. The film follows Nick Flynn (Paul Dano) who is shocked to have his eccentric and long-absent father, Jonathan (Robert De Niro) reach out to him unexpectedly. Still feeling the loss of his mother (played in flashbacks by Julianne Moore) and in the midst of starting a new relationship with Denise (Olivia Thirlby), the last person Nick wants to see is his father. Slowly Nick comes to realise he has been given the chance to make a real future not only for himself, but for his struggling father too.
