Watch Trailer for Jordan Peele and Charlie Sanders’ Sci-Fi Comedy Anthology Series “Weird City”

When we were hearing rumblings of this project from Jordan Peele and Charlie Sanders, we were imagining a funnier version of Black Mirror. This trailer does not disappoint in this regard. In fact, the premise of Weird City having a dystopian populous divvied up literally between Haves and Have Nots is the sort of Peele touch we were hoping for.

See for yourself in the trailer for Weird City here, then look for the series on YouTube Originals starting Feb. 13th.

Dustin Guy Defa took a short film called “Person to Person” and got to expand it into a full fledged feature with an impressive cast of Abbi Jacobson, Michael Cera, Tavi Gevinson, and Philip Baker Hall as well as original cast member, Bene Coopersmith.

The trailer echoes a sort of ensemble comedy from yesteryear while bringing some of the self-awareness and cleverness of contemporary indie comedies.

As to whether that’ll carry through the whole movie, we’ll all get to see the feature length version of Person to Person hits theaters and VOD on July 28th.

Mel Brooks is not only on board for this movie, but he also is part of the voice cast.

August 2017 is the target date for Blazing Samurai, a movie sounds as unbelievable as Blazing Saddles, its source of inspiration, did when it was first being conceived.

Lion King director Rob Minkoff has brought on the likes of Michael Cera, Samuel L. Jackson, George Takei, Gabriel Iglesias, and more as well as the aforementioned Brooks for a movie that seemingly takes the plot of Blazing Saddles, makes all the characters anthropomorphic animals, and sets it in feudal Japan. Like we said, it sounds pretty out there, but so was the meta, absurd comedy of Brooks all those decades ago.

Brooks being heavily involved is definitely more reassuring that this might be a highlight of 2017 summer fare.

Classy decor, formal attire, flowing libations, musical numbers, and Sofia Coppola are things that we’d guess would figure into a Christmas party that Bill Murray would throw.

Also, George Clooney, Jason Schwartzman, Chris Rock, Amy Poehler, Miley Cyrus, Michael Cera, Maya Rudolph, Paul Shaffer, and Rashida Jones might be in attendance.

So, why should the Christmas special A Very Murray Christmas be any different than that? Answer: It shouldn’t.

Watch this latest teaser to see what we mean, then look for the special on Netflix come Dec. 4th.

While on The Late Show with David Letterman last night, Michael Cera gave Letterman an update on what he’s up to.

Charlie Kaufman’s How & Why Being Shopped Elsewhere After FX Passes on It

Despite being a home for proven, unique voices, FX has passed on Charlie Kaufman’s pilot How & Why.

Perhaps, the story that follows a man who can explain how and why a nuclear reactor works, but is otherwise clueless about life doesn’t fit quite as nicely as FX would like with the current run You’re The Worst, Married, and Louie.

Still, How & Why is being shopped around and we hope it lands somewhere to see John Hawkes star as the mostly clueless Goodman Hesselman and Michael Cera play his boss.
