Little Monsters Red Band Trailer Promises a Fresh Take in Zom-Coms

July 31, 2019

Well, it looks like there’s a new fun zombie comedy or “zom com” coming to town later this year. 

Joining the ranks of Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, and Anna and the Apocalypse will be an Aussie entry into the subgenre, Little Monsters. Writer/director Abe Forsythe takes a new angle into the zombie movie by following a group of kids on a field trip with Alexander England, Lupita Nyong’o and Josh Gad when the arrival of zombies make things go very, very wrong.

It looks like a good bit of dark fun as you can see in Little Monsters’ red-band trailer here. If you’re digging it, start looking for it on November 15th.

Apple Scores Animated Musical Comedy “Central Park” From Loren Bouchard, Nora Smith, and Josh Gad

As you can see the streaming services build their war chest of content, we see here that Apple has just scored a big get with this series order. 

It has Gad and both a Bob’s Burgers team of Bob’s Burgers creator Loren Bouchard and Bob’s Burgers EP Nora Smith. The cast will includes the likes of Kristen Bell, Stanley Tucci, Josh Gad, Titus Burgess, Daveed Diggs, Leslie Odom Jr., and Kathryn Hahn.

In addition to Raphael Bob-Waksberg’s upcoming Amazon series Undone, it would seem as though Netflix’s line-up of critically acclaimed animated series might finally have some formidable competition this year and the next.

Beauty and the Beast Gets the Crosswalk Musical Treatment on Corden

Every once in awhile, the intersection at Beverly and Genesee at CBS Television City gets surprised with a presentation of a famous musical courtesy of The Late Late Show with James Corden that happens on the crosswalk while the light is red. 

Of course, this means it’s a much, much, much more abridged version lest Corden and company wish to further run the risk of getting hit by cars. 

Their latest ‘crosswalk musical’ takes on Beauty and the Beast and even has stars of the movie musical adaptation Luke Evans, Dan Stevens, and Josh Gad join in holding up traffic to sing and dance in period costume.

How much Corden is a taskmaster, especially since he has the credibility of a Tony Award to back him up, in these segments is pretty fun. 

Here’s The First Teaser Trailer of “The Comedians” with Josh Gad and Billy Crystal

In FX’s upcoming “The Comedians” Billy Crystal and Josh Gad are set to clash generationally as comedians on a sketch show. That might seem a little reminiscent of the premises of Mulaney or even Studio 60, but The Comedians seems to be going for a more, FX single-cam grounded comedy vibe (i.e. Louie, Married, etc). 

See for yourself in the first teaser trailer that was posted today.

The Comedians premieres on FX on Apr. 9th.

FX Will Premiere “The Comedians” and Season 5 of “Louie” on Apr. 9th

(via Deadline)

This spring, FX will see a whole hour block of series focused on the lives of comedians.

The series premiere of The Comedians with Josh Gad and Billy Crystal playing two comedians bridging generational gaps in comedy and the premiere of the fifth season of Louie will kick off Apr. 9th at 10PM.

Note that, Louie will only have 8 episodes for this latest season, which seems like the season order of a freshman show. However, The Comedians will have Mel Brooks, Jimmy Kimmel, and Rob Reiner as guest stars in their first season (via Variety).

This still makes us curious how comedies are split between FX and FXx.

Richard Linklater Looking to Add Jon Hamm, Danny McBride, Key & Peele, and More to Incredible Mr. Limpet

Richard Linklater Looking to Add Jon Hamm, Danny McBride, Key & Peele, and More to Incredible Mr. Limpet

Taking from 1964’s The Incredible Mr. Limpet that had Don Knotts turn into a fish and help hunt Nazi U-boats, director Richard Linklater is going for a remake and lining up a pretty great cast. Zach Galifianakis is attached to play Mr. Limpet, the role Knotts played, and there are no Nazis in this one.

However, Jon Hamm, Sarah Silverman, Danny McBride, Kevin Hart, Josh Gad, Jordan Peele, and Keegan-Michael Key are all in talks to join the cast. With Linklater at the helm and this cast, this might be one of the more fascinating, possibly great remakes in a long time. 

FX/FXx Picks Up Billy Crystal-Josh Gad Series ‘The Comedians’

FX/FXx Picks Up Billy Crystal-Josh Gad Series ‘The Comedians’

The premise of two eras of comedy colliding, more disparate than those of Funny People with Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler, is now going to be the newest show at FX/FXx will have Josh Gad as a younger, edgier comedian working for vet comedian played by Billy Crystal (who is making a long awaited return to TV here) on a sketch show.

As this is another show dealing with the sort of the behind the scenes of comedy under the umbrella of FX, we immediately wonder if they or Louie would do a crossover of any kind.

There Will Be a Sam Kinison Biopic with Josh Gad Playing Sam Kinison

There Will Be a Sam Kinison Biopic with Josh Gad Playing Sam Kinison

You should all be excited that a biopic of comedy legend Sam Kinison is closer to becoming a reality. A Kinison biopic has been in the works for awhile, especially since he passed away tragically before he was 40 by getting hit by a teenage drunk driver (In fact, there’s even a great oral history of Sam Kinison’s time in Houston by Kinison expert Julie Seabaugh today over at Chicken Scratch Comedy)

Also, here’s a fun fact: Richard Pryor and Sam Kinison both grew up in Peoria, Il. As people have tried for years, we wonder which movie covering the life of either Richard or Sam will come out first.
