Today, the Broken Lizard gang announced their latest shenanigans: They’re asking for $2 million in crowdfunded donations to make a follow-up to Super Troopers. The last time we heard about this potential sequel, Broken Lizard had finished a script for the film and handed it to Fox Searchlight, which reportedly “loved” it. Now we learn there were limits to their love: Continue reading
If Tom Hanks isn’t your idol, he should be. He’s not only a Hollywood icon, but a damn nice guy (why else would Forbes name him the Most Trustworthy Celebrity last year?). On The Late Late Show Monday, Hanks and host James Corden reenacted every single one most of his movies in just six minutes. Trust when we say it’s a skit that will make you experience EVERY FEEL ON EARTH.
Watch as Hanks takes us down memory lane with our favorite chick flicks (Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail), comedies (Bachelor Party and Big), classic dramas (Forrest Gump and The Green Mile), and 2013?s Captain Phillips. Your day life is about to be made.
Too bad they omitted The Man with one Red Shoe, and Volunteers. Especially the latter, since Corden should be able to pull off a decent John Candy impression.

Khan Noonien Singh, commonly shortened to Khan, is a fictional villain in the Star Trek science fiction franchise. The character first appeared in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Space Seed" (1967), and was portrayed by Ricardo Montalbán who reprised his role in the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In the 2013 film Star Trek Into Darkness, he is played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
The character once controlled more than a quarter of the Earth during the Eugenics Wars of the 1990s. After being revived from suspended animation in 2267 by the crew of the USS Enterprise, Khan attempts to capture the starship, but is thwarted by James T.

In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, set fifteen years after "Space Seed", Khan escapes his exile and sets out to exact revenge upon Kirk.
Joe and Anthony Russo, who directed Captain America: The Winter Soldier and will return for Captain America: Civil War, are cementing themselves as Marvel’s main movie executors.
The brothers will direct both parts of the studio’s Avengers: Infinity War, taking over the billion-dollar franchise from Joss Whedon, who directed the first two Avengers films. (The second one, Avengers: Age of Ultron, opens May 1.) They’ll film Infinity War in one long shoot beginning sometime in 2016, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
No writers are attached, but the brothers will likely reunite with Winter Soldier’s Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. They collaborated on Civil War, which the Russos will begin shooting next month.
The new deal raises the question of the status of the Russos’ deal with Sony. The duo signed a three-year first-look deal with the Culver City-based studio in March. Working on an Avengers movie is an all-consuming endeavor, so how active they will be within that deal remains to be seen.
Civil War, for which the brothers are in preproduction and which is considered to be a mini Avengers movie due to the large cast of heroes, has a May 6, 2016, release date. Infinity War — Part 1 and Infinity War — Part 2 are slated to be released May 4, 2018, and May 3, 2019, respectively.
The Infinity get is a massive feather in the duo’s cap and marks the latest in an incredible career trajectory. The Russos began in television comedy, directing episodes of Arrested Development in the early to mid-2000s, and continued to work in the field in 2012 with Happy Endings and Up All Night. It was their work on some of the geeky episodes of Community, however, that led to Winter Soldier — a movie that grossed $717.7 million worldwide.
Supposedly Marvel secretly met with 16-year-old actor Mateus Ward about playing Peter Parker/Spider-Man, according to Badass Digest.
Ward, who is best known for his roles in Showtime’s Weeds and CBS’ Hostages, reportedly auditioned for the part at a house because Marvel wanted to keep it under the radar. Keep in mind, this comes from a new source for Badass Digest, so they’re not even sure how reliable the source the information is. It does back up earlier claims that Marvel is looking to cast a much younger actor for the part than they have in the past.
Next Spider-Man film will arrive July 28, 2017. Rumor has it that Drew Goddard (“Cabin In The Woods”) will direct and it will be titled The Spectacular Spider-Man.
