Film Adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” Has a Cast

abraham lincoln vampire hunter, bella heathcote, charlie st cloud, david o russell, jane austen, lily james, pride and prejudice, pride and prejudice and zombies, sam riley, seth grahame-smith

When mashing up zombies and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Seth Grahame-Smith scored a hit novel with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies 5 years ago.

Now, in 2014, the official film adaptation of the novel has just cast Lily James, Sam Riley, and Bella Heathcote. In addition to that, you should also note that the script is written by both Burr Steers and the Oscar nominated writer/director David O. Russell.

So, we’re guessing that this will bring more to the table than Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, the last film adapted from a Seth Grahame-Smith book.

Ground Floor Adding Emily Heller in Season 2

bill lawrence, emily heller, ground floor, rory scovel, tbs

With the addition of Emily Heller to the cast, TBS’ Ground Floor will know have two absolutely hilarious comedians on the show as regulars. Heller joins Rory Scovel for Ground Floor’s second season as a socially awkward business wunderkind. Joining the cast also marks a move up for Emily who used to write for another Bill Lawrence show, Surviving Jack.

We’re glad to see that Ground Floor EP Bill Lawrence has pretty great taste when it comes to stand-ups.

John Oliver’s #GoGetThoseGeckos Changes to #WeGotThoseGeckos

getthosegeckos, hbo, john oliver, last week tonight, russia, wegotthosegeckos

The geckos that Russia sent into space to observe while mating, then lost contact with have been found. John Oliver issued a call to arms for the whole world to urge Russia to #GoGetThoseGeckos on Last Week Tonight and now those geckos have apparently been found.

#WeGotThoseGeckos is now official as you can hear from Oliver himself, even though how responsible the hashtag was for their recovery is up for debate.

Making Money Off YouTube Isn’t Exactly The Gold Rush You Might Think It Is

fast company, how to, youtube partner, youtube star

Fast Company looked into the financial viability of being a YouTube star by interviewing actual YouTube stars to see how they make their living.

Hopefully, you won’t be surprised that it isn’t an overnight sensation and that getting a million hits on a video is far from getting a million dollars.

If anything, you should be prepared to do it for free for awhile and engage in a lot of partnering with sponsors/product placement/that thing John Oliver just talked about on Last Week Tonight, “native advertising”.

Comedy Central Lines Up Its Fall Line-up

adam devine's house party, brickleberry, comedy central, key & peele, south park

Summer is almost over and with it is coming the next row of returning series at Comedy Central that continues to be on a roll with its programming schedule. South Park, Key & Peele, Tosh.0, Adam Devine’s House Party, and Brickleberry are all set to come back through the end of August to the end of September.

You should all be paying attention to Comedy Central’s batting average when it comes to returning shows because it seems pretty great. Also, this should all keep us well entertained while we wait for the premiere of Moonbeam City.

Yes, David Rees Made an Impromptu Musical About Paper Airplanes

david rees, going deep, musical, nat geo, national geographic, paper airplanes

We sincerely hope that you’re watching Going Deep with David Rees and having as much in doing so as we are.

Just watch David not only make unbelievable paper airplanes, but also sing about them on the spot a la Les Mis. With all seriousness, you’ve probably never had as much fun learning as an adult without David Rees.

Once you’re hooked on that, tune in tonight for a new episode at 10PM on the National Geographic Channel.

Conan and Team Coco Making Its Way Finally to the UK

conan, conan o'brien, tbs, trutv, uk

(via BBC)

Unlike in Sweden where Conan O’Brien has been hailed a hero for his comedic stylings and bearing a resemblance to a prime minister of the country, Conan, along with a lot of late night talk shows here in the U.S., haven’t made a big splash in the UK.

Fortunately, that’s all about to change as episodes of Conan on TBS will now be broadcast in the UK via TruTV.

This makes us wonder if folks across the pond are even aware of Conan’s String Dance, the Masturbating Bear, or Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. If not, they’re in for a real treat.

Nickelodeon Orders a “School of Rock” Series

jack black, nickelodeon, paramount tv, richard linklater, school of rock, scott rudin

The rock comedy that had Jack Black as an unorthodox music teacher, School of Rock, is now becoming a TV series at Nickelodeon.

Nickelodeon ordered the series from Paramount TV and have yet to attach someone to play Dewey Finn, Jack Black’s character in the movie. Still, Scott Rudin and Richard Linklater, the director of School of Rock, are set to executive produce, which should instill faith as to what might happen with this show.

We’ll see next year when School of Rock the series is set to premiere.

For $6.99, you can watch all of this perverse glory with the voices of some of your favorite funny people now.

Monty Python Live (Mostly) Is 3rd Biggest Live Cinema Event in UK History & DVD Due Out in November

monty python, monty python live (mostly), o2 arena

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

The marriage of live entertainment and cinema are fast becoming more commonplace at your local movie theater as shown most recently by Monty Python Live (Mostly). While Monty Python’s live shows at London’s O2 Arena were sold in mere seconds, plenty of folks saw a livestream and rebroadcasts of the show in their favorite multiplex.

Enough of them saw it that Monty Python scored #3 all time of the biggest live cinema events in the U.K. With that type of sway, it only makes you think of the possibilities of other live comedy events being in theaters. Rifftrax does pretty well here in the states with their live “riff” events.

Whose to say that the taping of an hour stand up special from a big enough comedian wouldn’t make it to a theater in the not so distant future.

On top of all of that, you can expect to be purchase a copy of Monty Python Live (Mostly) sometime in November, which is exciting for the overwhelming number of us that couldn’t make it to a theater or the O2 Arena.

Sundance Film Festival Branching Out to Hong Kong and Maybe They’ll Some of Our Great Indie Comedies

china, film festival, hong kong, sundance

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

While Transformers 4 is setting records at the Chinese box office as well as just setting box office records in general, the Sundance Film Festival is now making sure that China gets to see American independent films that offer a different flavor of cinema (i.e. not just out big budget tentpole franchise movies).

So, next month, China will get to hopefully see and enjoy something like The Skeleton Twins or They Came Together.

Watch Marc Maron, Dave Anthony, and Andy Kindler on the Road on Maron

3 great comedic minds may not think alike. In fact, when in a car together, they may go back and forth riding the edge of each other’s patience as shown in this clip of Marc Maron, Dave Anthony and Andy Kindler driving on the road in an episode of IFC’s Maron.

While they may be not alike, they’re fun when stuck together.

Weird Al Yankovic Might Be Just Releasing Singles and Music Videos From Now On

mandatory fun, weird al yankovic

(via Laughspin)

Weird Al Yankovic who scored a #1 album for Mandatory Fun on Billboard might have made his last complete album. The success of his 8 music videos over 8 days is undeniable in its conjunction with the release of the actual album.

So, maybe it might be sad that Mandatory Fun could potentially be the last full album from Weird Al, but, on the other hand, it might not take 3 years to get another song and video from him either.

Lake Bell Helps Kid President Call a Girl

how to, kid president, lake bell, soul pancake, talk on phone

Soul Pancake’s Kid President, now a show on The Hub Network, has a problem that a majority of the country is currently having: talking on the phone.

So, writer/director/actress Lake Bell has offered her help for the Kid POTUS while he calls a girl. It gets almost as tense as any movie where an adult president is in danger, but without the threat of the nation coming under attack. This is also more fun to watch.

NBC Developing Family Comedy Loosely Based on the Life of Joe Wengert

big kids, claudia lonow, ed helms, joe wengert, nbc

Ed Helms, Claudia Lonow, and, of course, the hilarious Joe Wengert are together developing a family comedy for NBC that will be loosely based on Wengert’s life. Called Big Kids, Wengert isn’t set to star in it, but the series will focus on a guy feeling the need to help his little sister and parents too much.

If you’re familiar with how funny Wengert is or his character Mr. Girardi, etc., you should, like us, hope this goes to series.

Through the power of the Internet, YouTube will be hosting a live improv streamed online on Aug. 1st and Aug. 2nd from Tokyo, London, and Los Angeles.

Led by Lloyd Ahlquist of Epic Rap Battles of History, suggestions will be given online and improvisers from around the world will do short from improv games that will be later cut up into a web series.

With the aid of the Internet, we wonder if people will be able to give better suggestions than “your mom”.

Here’s a Brand New Trailer for Netflix’s Animated Series “Bojack Horseman”

aaron paul, alison brie, amy sedaris, bojack horseman, netflix, trailer, will arnett

Netflix’s latest series does feature Will Arnett as a former sitcom star horse Bojack Horseman with a bit of GOB-esque qualities. There’s a brand new trailer and you can see that humans and horses aren’t that different when it comes to trying to live down your own shadow from former 90’s sitcom stardom.

Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, and Aaron Paul also co-star and it’s going to be released on Aug. 22nd. Watch the trailer here and become cognizant that the 90’s was over 20 years ago.

Spike Jonze To Guest Star on Season 4 of Girls

On top of Gillian Jacobs and Natasha Lyonne already guest starring on season 4 of HBO’s Girls, the guest star list has just added director and occasional actor Spike Jonze.

There aren’t much details as to Jonze’s character, but we’d only hope and cross our fingers that there’s some sort of joke/reference about Her in there.

Aubrey Plaza Continues to Delightfully Defy The Traditional Interview

On The Daily Show last night, Jon Stewart goes right along with it. Watch it here.

NBC Renews Undateable for 2nd Season

(via Entertainment Weekly)

After the cancellation streak NBC had several weeks ago, Undateable comes through to get a 2nd season.

So, you’ll get to see more of Brent Morin, Rick Glassman, Ron Funches (who you might remember from his Tonight Show set earlier today), and Chris D’Elia on your TV and the side of your local buses.
