September 7, 2014

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Before dealing with the speculation as to what he will be doing 4 episodes of with HBO and if it’ll involve Bret McKenzie, Jemaine Clement has co-written and co-directed what seems to be a great tongue-and-cheek vampire mockumentary with Taiki Waititi called What We Do In The Shadows.

While playing at TIFF, it has picked up a distribution deal to play here in the States thanks to The Orchard and Unison Films. That’s great to hear so we’ll get to see what 4 vampires living in New Zealand dealing with modern life will be like.

There Is a Birdman Talking Action Figure From Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman

September 7, 2014

action figure, alejandro gonzález iñárritu, birdman, michael keaton

While Iñárritu’s Birdman starring Michael Keaton is making the rounds at film festivals around the world and building up buzz, Empire Magazine posted a picture of an actual action figure of the former superhero character that Keaton plays in the movie.

It talks and has a great warning on the box and is certainly not the type of action figure for kids that have yet to really grasp what a mid life crisis is. Thus far, we’re assuming this is just a limited edition promotional figurine, but we’d be really surprised if this wasn’t available to purchase when it rolls out into limited release on Oct. 17th.

Remember when we posted about Moses Storm raising money for a live performance art installation called “Modern Millennial” where he would live a la “millennial” for a extended period of time?

Well, he raised the money and is really doing this.

Larry David Gives a Detail or Two About His Upcoming Broadway Play “Fish in the Dark”

September 6, 2014

broadway, fish in the dark, larry david, tonight show

This week, Larry David gave a little, emphasis on “a little”, insight into what the upcoming Broadway play that he wrote and will star in called Fish in the Dark while on The Tonight Show.

He also, in very Larry David fashion, hopes that, if it bombs commercially and critically, that no one will be coming with pitchforks after him.

“St. Vincent” Starring Bill Murray To Get Early Limited Release

September 6, 2014

Ahead of its original Oct. 24th wide release, Bill Murray vehicle St. Vincent will get a run in theaters in LA and NYC on Oct. 10th, then in a few more select cities on the following week Oct. 17th.

Bill Murray Day at TIFF must have gone well and The Weinstein Company could subsequently want to get St. Vincent out as soon as they can.

Tina Fey on Handling Her Youngest Daughter, Her Nude Celebrity Photos, and Her and Amy Poehler’s Movie vs. Star Wars

September 6, 2014

Last night on The Late Show with David Letterman, Tina Fey sat down and chatted with Dave about the havoc that her youngest daughter is currently wreaking. Fey also discussed a fool proof plan for nude photos in the event that they were stolen from her and leaked to the Internet.

On top of all of that, she found out that the movie that her and Amy Poehler are starring in, The Nest, might be going up against Star Wars Episode VII in theaters next Christmas.

Needless to say, Fey isn’t worried about it all about handling her crazed daughter, taking down Star Wars on opening weekend and outsmarting celebrity photo thieves.

Ed Helms to Produce Julian McCullough Multi-Cam Sitcom

September 6, 2014

ed helms, julian mccullough, pacific electric, universal tv

Through Ed Helms’ production company Pacific Electric that has a first look deal at Universal TV, Helms will be producing a sitcom starring and written by the hysterical Julian McCullough. It will be based on McCullough’s years growing up and is set to be a multi-camera project.

If you’ve ever seen Julian’s stand-up, you know that this project has a lot of potential. Above all of this, we hope that there will be some reference or mention of McCullough’s collection of the Babysitters Club book series.

(via Uproxx)

In one of the more fascinating guest star roles this past year, Parks and Recreation has managed to get the ever-enigmatic director Werner Herzog to do a guest role on the show. It’s the final season, so we’re glad to see that they got some fun stuff up their sleeve

Herzog didn’t reveal much details about what he’s role would be, but we’re sure that Werner would be fascinated by Ron Swanson.

R.I.P. Joan Rivers, 1933-2014

September 4, 2014

joan rivers, rip

Only a few hours ago, Joan Rivers, after being hospitalized and put into a medically induced coma, has passed away at the age of 81. She leaves a unbelievably long whirlwind of a career in comedy where Joan fiercely fought and clawed for everything she’s gotten on her terms as you can clearly see in the documentary Piece of Work.

While people are posting clips of her stand up, interviews, etc. today in remembrance, please know, no matter how ribald, risqué, controversial, or “blue” Joan has gotten, she has always went for the joke regardless of how far she had to take it and made herself a legend for that.

ListenFirst’s Digital Audience Rating to Gauge That Online Buzz That Shows Like Community, Parks & Recreation, Key & Peele

September 4, 2014

digital audience rating, listenfirst, variety

As the way we consume TV has changed more in the last few years than it has in the past few decades, ListenFirst Media has launched a ratings system that attempts to measure the online viewing/engagement of any and all entertainment online.

We all know that shows like Community, Key & Peele, Parks and Recreation, Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Arrested Development, The Tonight Show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver all fare quite well online no matter what their TV ratings are. So, a Digital Audience Rating combs through Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, YouTube, Wikipedia, and Google+ to see what people are watching the most online.

For instance, the viral Friends reunion/fan fiction bit on Kimmel pushed Jimmy Kimmel Live to the top.

While Nielsen has tried to do a version of this, we hope this DAR becomes an accurate, valuable metric for content online, where, more and more every day, people watch anything and everything.

So, This Is What ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Might Become

September 4, 2014

By now, you’ve undoubtedly heard of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and seen a video of someone, probably someone famous, pour a bucket of ice over their head in lieu of donating money to fight ALS. In fact, the videos and the challenge are so pervasive that it would seem that people are just challenging their friends to pour ice on their head rather than pay for something as opposed to raising awareness about Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

So, Michael Busch, James Pumphrey, Hari Leigh, Brandon Johnson, Ron Lynch, Rosie Shea have made this video to raise awareness on what might happen if we all just keep making Ice Bucket Challenge videos.

The Audiobook Version of Amy Poehler’s Yes Please Will Have a Chapter Recorded Live at UCB LA Tonight

September 4, 2014

amy poehler, live reading, ucb, ucb la, upright citizens brigade, yes please

Amy Poehler will be doing something atypical of audiobooks, but probably should be done more often: reading live.

Her upcoming book Yes Please set for release on Oct. 28th is currently on pre-order and she is, tonight, reading a chapter in front of a live audience at the UCB Theatre here in LA, which sure is to be a good time for both the audience and the listener later. Maybe future audiobooks might be done entirely in multiple sessions in front of live crowds?

For now, the reservations for Poehler’s live reading are full, but there is a wait list right now.
