Will Arnett Confirms That There Will Be a Season 5 of Arrested Development

August 8, 2014
Uncategorized
arrested development, jimmy fallon, netflix, tonight show, will arnett

In addition to the tomfoolery he had with TI and Jimmy Fallon, Will Arnett also further assured us that there will be a 5th season of Arrested Development on The Tonight Show last night after having revealed some details on The Today Show earlier.

Netflix’s Ted Sarandos was “positive” of a return, but Arnett made doubly sure to tell us all that it will be definitely happening.

However, there’s no telling what the timetable is for shooting or a release, especially considering everyone’s schedules.

The Interview with Seth Rogen and James Franco Moved to Christmas Release Date

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Despite North Korea’s protestations against the movie’s subject matter that focuses on killing Kim Jong-Un, Sony is moving the release of The Interview starring Seth Rogen and James Franco back to a bigger release date, Christmas.

Originally, the movie was slated for release in early October, but Sony is lining up its Christmas weekend offering for The Interview, where it’ll play against the third installment of The Hobbit franchise and more.

This will also give North Korea two more months to further decry the movie, though we’re not sure how much more they could say outside of an “act of terrorism”.

Sequels to The LEGO Movie To Be Released on Memorial Day Weekend 2018 and 2019

Film franchises are really jumping in on this announcing release dates years in advance as of late. Marvel, DC, and now The LEGO Movie franchise has May 25th, 2018 and May 24th, 2019 set as dates for the release of two more LEGO movies in addition to the The LEGO Movie 2 set for May 26th, 2017 and a Ninjago spinoff is set for Sept. 2016.

On top of all that, you should note that the presence of Chris Miller and Phil Lord, the writers and directors of the first LEGO Movie, seem to be absent in all of these sequels. Hopefully, the same tone, wit, and originality will be kept up for the next four movies. 

Larry David Going to Broadway with Fish in the Dark

The supposed play that Larry David was rumored earlier this year to be possibly doing is now actually happening. David has written Fish in the Dark and Scott Rudin is producing. 

There isn’t a time table as to when this will hit Broadway quite yet, but, as far as live stage productions that are coming soon, you should keep this and Trey Parker’s Cannibal: The Musical on your radar.

There Is a Petition to Have Weird Al Yankovic Perform at The Super Bowl Half Time Show

(via Splitsider)

The Super Bowl Half Time Show is up there in terms of the biggest stage to perform on. Thus, only the biggest acts get to play it like Beyonce, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, etc. 

With a new album debuting at #1 on Billboard, Weird Al Yankovic might just be a great candidate to play that very same half time show, which is the purpose of a petition that has started by Weird Al’s fans.

We sincerely hope this happens to not only have Yankovic’s name mentioned in the same sentence with Super Bowl Half Time alums, but we’re sure it will be one hell of a show.

Hillary Clinton Pays a Fun Surprise Visit to The Colbert Report

While calling out Hillary Clinton’s new book Hard Choices for its supposed excessive name dropping, Stephen Colbert got a surprise when Hillary herself showed up at The Colbert Report desk and addressed not only the name dropping issue, but a truly “hard choice”.

She doesn’t so much as say whether or not that she’s running for a certain office so much as she engages in some high level hijinks with Colbert.

Watch it here.

Nathan For You Comes Up With a Way to Invite People to a Party That You Don’t Like But Feel Obligated To Invite Anyway

The latest exploits of the ever enterprising Nathan Fielder involves an online invitation service, an annoying person that one would know too well, and Nathan’s go to Bill Gates impersonator. 

If that’s not enticing enough, the plan to develop a service where you could send certain invites to people that, perhaps, you work with, but don’t like and it would go directly to their spam folder. 

That’s pretty clever, but the “test party” that Nathan throws to see if the service works is even better because that Bill Gates impersonator is there.

Comedy Central Orders Weekly Variety Show Pilot Hosted by Justin Willman, Produced by Chris Hardwick

Comedy Central is going further into the Nerdist/Chris Hardwick business after the sucess of “@midnight” by ordering a pilot produced by Hardwick for a variety show intended to be weekly.

Justin Willman who you might know as a charming magician or the host of Cupcake Wars would be set to host what would be a mix of sketch, stand-up, “social experiments”, and more. 

This might prove to be another nice way to expand Comedy Central’s branding as a variety show doesn’t currently exist on Comedy Central.

Bill Cosby’s Return to a Sitcom Now Closer with Sony TV/NBC Deal Closed

A sitcom centered bringing Bill Cosby back to NBC has been in negotiations for months now, but a deal between NBC and Sony TV has now the project apparently set on track currently with a script commitment.

Cosby will be the patriarch of an extended family and pass down his wisdom to them, one of which will be Mike O’Malley. There’s a big penalty for NBC to pay if they don’t order a pilot, but that possibility is hard to imagine even though TV is a different landscape than when The Cosby Show was in its heyday.

The Kid President loves to go caroling so much that he doesn’t want to wait until the end of the year to do it. So, with the aid of Craig Robinson, he meows Christmas carols as a cat to make it less seasonal and more fun. Of course, no one is expecting this when they come to the door.

Still, NBC’s fall comedy line-up (Bad Judge, Marry Me, Mysteries of Laura, A to Z) has yet to premiere and survive the gauntlet of their first season.

Carrie Brownstein’s First Feature Writing Gig Will Be An Adaptation of “Lost in Austen”

Carrie Brownstein has made waves in the comedy world ever since the debut of Portlandia on IFC. Now, her talents are being tapped elsewhere as she has just set to adapt the UK series Lost in Austen into a movie. 

Having someone in Brooklyn be transported into the world of Jane Austen is definitely within Brownstein’s wheelhouse and we’re excited to see what she comes up with.

So, this does count as our 2nd post about an adaptation of something based on the works of Jane Austen today and we can only hope that they’re both as enjoyable as Austenland.

On Sept. 21st, Adult Swim will premiere a brand new animated series Mr. Pickles from Will Carsola and Dave Stewart that, in fitting with Adult Swim’s branding, follows a secretly evil border collie named Mr. Pickles. 

There isn’t a trailer yet, but the voices of Jay Johnston from Mr. Show, Frank Collison, Kaitlyn Robrock, along with Will Carsola and Dave Stewart make for a solid cast.

Along with Mike Tyson Mysteries also set for a series premiere in a few months, this should be quite the fall for animated series at Adult Swim.

Last night on The Daily Show, Elisabeth Moss was the guest as she was promoting her new film The One I Love. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the film, she can’t really talk about it all that much just like so can’t talk about it that much, leaving little to talk about.

So, that leaves Jon Stewart to showcase his marvelous interviewing skills by figuring something else out, seemingly on the spot and doing most of the talking. It’s probably the most undervalued skill set of a TV show host. We would be surprised if this was all covered in a pre-interview. 

Watch it all here.

Ricky Gervais Will Make David Brent Rock Mockumentary “Life On The Road” Starting Next Year

Looks like David Brent is headed the way of Alan Partridge. He’s not going to be held up in a radio station as a hostage like Steve Coogan’s Partridge, but Ricky Gervais’ Brent from the original The Office is officially getting a full length feature movie.

Following his escapades into making a go at his dream of being a rock star, Life On The Road will follow Brent on a self-financed tour. Production starts in 2015 and we can only now ponder if Gervais playing music as the character of David Brent is going better when Gervais made a legitimate attempt at being a pop star.

Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman Will Seem Like One Continuous Shot

(via Slashfilm)

The new trailer for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman already has us pretty excited for the movie. However, according to Jon Favreau, there’s something even more enticing about the movie. 

The performing of a Broadway play as a last ditch attempt by a former action star to get back into the spotlight will also almost be all one shot. The spare cuts throughout the film are hidden making it seem like its been carefully composed into one continuous shot for the film’s duration, not unlike the beginning of Gravity.

We can’t wait to see Birdman, but we’ll have to wait until Oct. 17th when it hits theaters.
