Dan Stevens Bringing Sir Lancelot To Life In Night at the Museum 3

By Leave a Comment

Dan-StevensThe Night At The Museum franchise is coming to the UK, and as a result it needs a few British actors. Now it’s got one in the form of former Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens, whose star is certainly on the rise.

Ben Stiller is set to reprise his role as night security guard Larry Daley, with Robin Williams also coming back as Teddy Roosevelt. This time, it turns out the it’s not just US museum exhibits that can come to life at night, as Larry and Teddy end up in action in London. Dan Stevens will be Sir Lancelot, who is apparently the main villain in this new adventure.

Shawn Levy returns to direct, from a script by franchise scribes Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant. Night At The Museum 3 is currently due for release on December 25th, 2014. (Source: Variety)

Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose lives are going exactly nowhere, as their youthful dreams have been crushed by the modern world. Then Billy hears about the Google Intern programme, which promises a lucky few a job at what many consider to be the best place to work in the world. Against all odds they get on the programme and find themselves surrounded by youngsters who know far more about technology than Billy and Nick (who know the grand total of nothing), but most of whom severely lack social skills.

Robin Williams May Be Back For Night at the Museum 3

By Leave a Comment

robin-williamsThey like to keep a few years between Night At The Museum movies. As there was three years between 2006’s first film and the 2004 sequel, and now a third film is on the way, due in cinemas Christmas 2014.

With shooting due to kick off in February, the filmmakers are starting to get the cast confirmed, with THR reporting that Robin Williams is in negotiations to reprise his role as Teddy Roosevelt in Night at the Museum 3.

Ben Stiller is also set to return as museum security guard Larry Daley. It’s been reported previously that he sequel is set in London as well, although it’s not known exactly which museum(s) will be involved – the city certainly has some great ones to choose from, including the Natural History Museum and British Museum.

Shawn Levy is once more directing.

Second The Internship Trailer Debuts – Owen Wilson & Vince Vaughn get Googled

By Leave a Comment


A new trailer for The Internship has arrived, giving us a look at this summer’s Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn comedy. It still feels like it’s going to be a two-hour ad for Google though.

In the movie, Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, they defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship – yes, you guessed it, at Google – along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle. Now they must compete with a group of the nation’s most elite, tech-savvy geniuses to prove that necessity really is the mother of re-invention.

Shawn Levy (Real Steel) directs, with a June 7th US release set, and the movie coming to the UK on July 4th.

Abigail Spencer & Timothy Olyphant Join This Is Where I Leave You

By Leave a Comment

abigail-spencerAbigail Spencer has had a great success recently, although you’d be forgiven for not realising. However she played May in Oz The Great And Powerful. Now she’s got a new role, as Deadline reports that Timothy Olyphant, Ben Schwartz and Spencer have joined the cast of This Is Where I Leave You.

They’ll star alongside the previously cast Jason Bateman, Rose Byrne, Tina Fey, Kathryn Hahn, Jane Fonda, and Corey Stoll in the movie, which is based on Jonathan Tropper’s book of the same name. It follows four adult siblings who reunite for their father’s funeral. Their trip home turns out to be longer than expected, when they find out their dad’s dying wish is for all four of them to spend a week in the house they grew up in. Inevitably this causes long simmer tensions to emerge.

Olyphant is set to play Horry, a former flame of Fey’s Wendy, Schwartz is the rabbi who wants everyone to think he’s cool, while Spender is Bateman’s wife, who is cheating on him with his boss.

Shawn Levy will direct from a screenplay by Jonathan Tropper. Production is scheduled to begin this June in New York.

Rose Byrne Up For This Is Where I Leave You & Townies

By Leave a Comment

Rose-ByrneRose Byrne is one of those actresses who always pops up in things – Insidious, X-Men: First Class, Bridesmaids – without ever really hitting the big time. Now she’s got a couple more role she’ll hope will push her towards the a-list, with Townies and This Is Where I Leave You.

Universal’s Townies already has Seth Rogen and Zac Efron attached to star. Rogen will play a man who lives close to a fraternity house, which is led by the raucous Efron, and reaches a breaking point with their wild antics. Byrne is set to play the man’s wife, who’s the sensible adult in the relationship. The film will reunite Byrne with her Get Him To The Greek director Nick Stoller. Shooting is scheduled to begin sometime this spring.

This Is Where I Leave You is based on the novel by Jonathan Tropper, who also wrote the screenplay. Jason Bateman stars as one of four siblings who reunite when their father passes away. They learn that dad had one final wish, for the four of them to spend one whole week in their childhood home together, which they haven’t done in 10 years. Rose Byrne will play an old crush of Jason Bateman’s character. Tina Fey, Kathryn Hahn, Jane Fonda, and Corey Stoll also star. Shawn Levy directs with shooting due to start this June.

Tina Fey Says This Is Where I Leave You Opposite Jason Bateman

By Leave a Comment

tina-feyWith 30 Rock coming to an end, Tina Fey has a lot more time on her hands, and so she’s been busy working her way through scripts to find the ones she wants to make. She’s currently shooting The Muppets… Again, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t also looking to the future, as THR reports that she’s now in talks to join Jason Bateman in This Is Where I Leave You.

The film is an adaptation of the Jonathan Tropper comic novel about four siblings who come home to sit ‘shiva’ for their deceased father. They are trapped in the house for seven days, and all their skeletons are laid bare. While Zac Efron, Goldie Hawn and Leslie Mann were previously attached, it doesn’t seem they’re involved anymore, with Kathryn Hahn likely to be Bateman’s sister-in-law, while Ari Graynor, Isla Fisher, Zoe Saldana and Mary Elizabeth Winstead have all read for roles.

Shawn Levy – who directed Fey in Date Night – recently signed up to direct the movie, although it’s not 100% clear when it might shoot.

The Internship Trailer – Vince Vaughn & Owen Wilson head for Google

By Leave a Comment


It’s no surprise that with The Internship prominently featuring Google, the trailer has debuted on the company’s Youtube platform. However as with the previously released image and poster, I’m still not sure how much this is a movie and how much a Google ad.

In the movie, Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, they defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship – yes, you guessed it, at Google – along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle. Now they must compete with a group of the nation’s most elite, tech-savvy geniuses to prove that necessity really is the mother of re-invention.

New Internship Image Gets Owen Wilson & Vince Vaughn Googling

By 2 Comments

internship-preview-pic1I’m starting to wonder whether The Internship is less a movie than an advert for Google. The first poster mimicked the Google homepage, and now a new image has Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson staring lovingly at the Google logo.

The search giant presumably got very good terms in its deal to be included in the film, which includes plenty of mentions outside the actual movie.
