Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg star in Zombieland – watch the trailer
September 16, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I posted a few funny TV spots for “Zombieland” last week, and here’s the official trailer. If you’re into zombies, then you should probably check out this movie (I also recommend “Dead Snow” – awesome zombies).
In theaters Oct. 2, 2009, “Zombieland” stars Jesse Eisenberg as Columbus, a guy who’s made a habit of running from whatever scares him. On the flipside, Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) has no fears whatsoever. And if he did, he’d make whatever scared him sorry they were ever born.
But the world is overrun by zombies, and these two opposites find themselves trying to survive not only …read more
George Clooney: Giving up the publicity tours?
September 12, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I would imagine that all the publicity an actor has to do would get tiring after a while. I mean, making the movie is probably just a small part of the acting business. Once you make the movie, you have to get out there and promote it.
But George Clooney says he’s all done with the publicity – although the story in The Hollywood Reporter’s Showbiz411.com blog doesn’t make it clear whether he’s just giving up Oscar promotion or movie promotion altogether. Is Clooney a big enough star that he doesn’t have to promote his movies? People will just …read more
Even as a cartoon, George Clooney is still dapper
September 11, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
In “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” George Clooney lends his voice to the title character. It’s a big screen, stop-motion adaptation of the classic children’s tale by Roald Dahl.
In the movie, Mr. Fox earns the hatred of three wealthy farmers when he steals their poultry to feed his family. The farmers decide to lay in wait for him at the opening of his foxhole, which only makes him more sly – you know, like a fox.
The voice cast also includes Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson, and Jason Schwartzman. Watch the trailer here, and check out this new poster. …read more

The Fantastic Mr. Fox – Preview & Trailer
September 3, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
An adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s tale, “The Fantastic Mr. Fox,” is coming to the big screen Nov. 25, 2009.
It’s a stop-motion film directed by Wes Anderson, and his first foray into animation. His other films have ventured towards the indie-quirky type, like “The Darjeeling Limited” and “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou,” so it will be interesting to see what he does with a children’s story.
The plot centers on a clever fox (voiced by George Clooney) who must outwit three mean, dimwitted farmers who try to hurt him and his family. Ok, having grown up on …read more
Original Ghostbusters Murray, Aykroyd on board for remake - VIDEO
March 30, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Harold Ramis recently stopped by MTV News to chat about his new Jack Black comedy "The Year One" (in theaters June 19). MTV took the opportunity to ask Ramis about the upcoming “Ghostbusters” remake. He co-wrote the first two “Ghostbusters” movies and also starred in them as the nerdy Dr. Egon Spengler.
Well, guess what?! Ramis (now 64!) says all the original core players are onboard for the reboot, including Bill Murray (Dr. Peter Venkman) and Dan Aykroyd (Dr. Raymond Stantz), who co-wrote the original films. "We’re all going to be in it in different kinds of roles," Ramis …read more
Bill Murray, Lucas Black Join "Get Low"
February 3, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Ever wish you could plan your own funeral while you’re still alive – so you can enjoy it? Yeah, me either. But Felix "Bush" Breazeale did just that in 1938.
The true story of the Tennessee recluse is being made into a feature film by the Zanuck Co. titled "Get Low."
Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek are already on board, and Bill Murray and Lucas Black just joined the cast, as well. They’ll play partners at the funeral home.
The Variety story is calling it a "dramatic thriller," but with those two as funeral directors, you have to wonder …read more
