    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Also, I'm really pulling for a Wayne and Wanda cameo.

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    I'm really, really excited for this. Everything about it just sounds great thus far. I can't wait to know more! On another note, I'm really happy about the fact that much of Judd Apatow's crew is going off and making names for themselves. Seth Rogen has a number of projects in the works that...

    New movies coming out...

    I'm really looking forward to a lot this summer, but I'm especially anxious for August, when we'll see the release of two action comedies - a genre that seems to be coming back in full swing. I won't divulge too much on either, so here are the links to their Wikipedia pages...

    "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" Announced for 2009

    Time travel. I am calling it now.

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Jason Segel is an AMAZINGLY talented actor, and from what I can see "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is gonna be really great. This is incredibly exciting to me.

    What are your favorite TV shows of all-time?

    Harder question than it sounds. I was asked this today and had a hard time answering. This is what I came up with. Remember, of all-time. 1. "Fraggle Rock" 2. "The Wire" 3. "Arrested Development" Honestly, those three are all I need.

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    Jim Carrey would actually make a great Richard Hunt.

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    Another thought, and a more likely choice than Jeff Daniels, is Ryan Gosling. http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/ryan-gosling2.jpg

    My Sweeney Todd ambition

    Directing is just as big an ambition for me as acting, actually. My favorite contemporary play (or, at least, play from the past ten years or so) is "The Pillowman" by Martin McDonagh. I have a really weird idea to make that play work well onstage and be totally unique. Read about the play here...

    My Sweeney Todd ambition

    "Sweeney Todd" is by and large my favorite musical. I would love to play any role from it, though I tend to lean towards Toby. I'm probably not what people envision when they think of Toby (contrary to what is shown in the movie, Toby is actually written to be a bit older, early 20s or so...

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    Oh, and I did a bit of research on the guy who wrote the screenplay, Robert D. Slane. He wrote some movie called "Come Away Home" a few years ago which didn't get much of a release, and he wrote and directed a short film called "The Fine Line Between Cute and Creepy" which is an amusing little...

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    I would LOVE Jess Daniels to play Jim. The only concern might be the age, He's almost the age Jim was when he died. Still, there's no denying that when it comes to resemblance, Daniels is as close as we could get... and their voices are even remarkably similar. And, heck, age shouldn't be any...

    Edward Norton. His smile reminds me of Jim's.

    That's without a doubt the most wonderful thing I've heard in relation to the man. Thank you for sharing that.

    The Muppet Show Season 3 arrives May 20, 2008

    This is great! Very excited. At this rate we should have the whole series by the middle of next year or sooner.

    Heath Ledger found dead

    It's clear watching him in interviews that he was serious about his work, and had fun doing what he loved. He didn't want us to watch him and think of him, but of his characters. One of the few men left in the world who really knew how to act. And I mean... really act.

    The MuppetCast - Show #41 - Tribute to Richard Hunt

    I really sound like that? Otherwise, fantastic show! Richard's one of my favorite performers. I love the picture of him wearing the Sweetums legs while he reads the newspaper! I always thought Richard and Jim were the most photogenic of the Muppeteers... they both just have that constant...
