Moonrise Kingdom Trailer: Bruce Willis and Edward Norton Go Retro in Wes Anderson's Latest

Lizzie Fuhr — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 13:48:41 PST

Ever since we heard Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola were teaming up to write a screenplay, we've been patiently waiting for the trailer to present itself. Today, we finally got a taste of what Moonrise Kingdom has in store. And although it's live-action flick, Anderson's latest feels a lot more like Fantastic Mr. Fox than The Royal Tenenbaums. Set in a dreamy 1960s haze, 12-year-olds Suzy and Sam fall in love and plot to run away together deep into the New England forest. (This should prove to be no issue since Sam is a Khaki Scout, and his troop leader is Edward Norton.)

In true Wes Anderson fashion, there's an all-star cast with the usual suspects like Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray, along with some new names like Tilda Swinton, Bruce Willis, and Frances McDormand. Everything about this trailer is romantic and quirky, sweeping us off to another world, presented in a way only Anderson can pull off. To see what I mean,

Jason Schwartzman flashed a smile last night as he left an LA book shop with a tote bag full of new reading material. He and wife Brady Cunningham have been keeping close to home for the last month since welcoming their first child, daughter Marlowe Rivers, in early December. The Bored to Death star is enjoying time off to focus on his wife and daughter, but he'll be back to work soon when production on his new movie Goats begins.

Freaks and Geeks Flashback: 10 Stars Who Appeared on the Show

BuzzSugar — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 16:10:31 PST

Judd Apatow's series Freaks and Geeks may have had a short life, but it certainly packs a lot of star power into just 18 episodes. Aside from the stellar central cast that includes James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, and Busy Philipps, the walls of McKinley High School were home to a ton of soon-to-be familiar faces. I recently rewatched the series in all its glory and couldn't believe how many up-and-comers I found. Check 'em out, and watch their Freaks and Geeks scenes.

PopSugar — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 02:00:00 PDT

Anna Kendrick was in London yesterday to make the press rounds with her Scott Pilgrim vs. the World costars Michael Cera and the soon-to-be dad, Jason Schwartzman. The trio is in Europe ahead of their movie's release there - it opened in the US last Friday and came in third at the weekend box office, behind The Expendables and Eat Pray Love. Anna is back into the swing of hanging out with the boys after their recent LA premiere stint at Comic-Con and junket, where she revealed that she thinks of Michael in particular as a brother.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: Game On!

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 08:00:00 PDT

Based on the graphic novel series of the same name, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a genre-bender - it's part action flick, part rock and roll anthem, part romantic comedy. Overlaid with whimsical video game effects, it's a risky combo to employ for a mainstream film, but director Edgar Wright has executed it so confidently and with such commitment that it's a triumph.

Michael Cera is the title character, a bass player in the band Sex Bob-Omb, who mostly hangs out with his friends and deals with the daily drama of his love life. When he meets Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), his mysterious, multicolored-tressed love interest, he falls at his feet to date her. Like any new relationship, there are challenges - specifically Ramona's past, which includes seven angry exes that Scott must fight to the death if he wants to keep seeing Ramona. Not only is his life on the line, each of his nemeses has a mystical power he has to overcome (my favorite? Brandon Routh's vegan-powered psychic abilities). It's fantastical, for sure, but give it a shot: Scott Pilgrim is an energy drink of a movie, an effervescent gem with the aesthetics of a video game and the heart of an indie romance.

Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman Talk Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Fighting, and Evil Exes

BuzzSugar — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 07:30:22 PDT

They might play romantic rivals in the upcoming Scott Pilgrim vs. The World but Jason Schwartzman and Michael Cera clearly have no bad blood between them off the set. We sat down with the costars in Hollywood as they prepped for the video game-inspired film to hit theaters next month. Cera stars as Scott, while Schwartzman plays Gideon, one of his girlfriend's seven evil exes hell-bent on destroying him. The hilarious twosome dished to me on the “miserable” training required for their impressive fight scene, the graphic novels that inspired the film, and why they’d never challenge each other to a push-up contest.

Michael, Jason, Anna, and Mae Would Like to Introduce Scott Pilgrim

PopSugar — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:00:00 PDT

Lots of funny people hit the red carpet in LA last night for the premiere of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman posed for photos solo, and Anna Kendrick turned a few heads in her strapless gown and high heels. Parenthood's Mae Whitman skipped the Summer TCAs in order to promote her big-screen project. Her TV costars, though, treated Buzz to a sneak peek at what's to come next season. Anna, Michael, and Jason were happy to keep showing off their film after spending last weekend together at Comic-Con, where she spoke about life on the set and Mr. Cera dressing like a superhero ranked among Buzz's favorite moments from the convention.

Scott Pilgrim and the Gang Bring the Fun to Comic-Con

BuzzSugar — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 08:30:00 PDT

Boasting perhaps the biggest ensemble of Comic-Con, the cast of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - led by director Edgar Wright - came out in force to debut new clips from the film and end the first day on a funny note. Stars Brandon Routh, Anna Kendrick, a mustached Jason Schwartzman, Aubrey Plaza, Alison Pill, Mae Whitman, Kieran Culkin, and Michael Cera all showed up to promote the movie. In fact, the only glaring omission was Chris Evans, who is currently shooting Captain America, but have no fear, because his substitute still managed to make it out! OK, so it was just Michael Cera in a Captain America costume, which had the rest of his cast members struggling to keep a straight face. Here are the highlights:

Scott Pilgrim really felt like the perfect movie for the Comic-Con crowd. Since it's based on comic books, you had followers of the series waiting in line to catch creator Bryan Lee O'Malley, fans of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright, and girl groupies there to see Cera. Needless to say, it was a rowdy crowd.
Wright actually led the discussion, which made for a sillier panel than most. He kicked things off by introducing each of his actors and then asking them one question to be answered in one word. Some examples: "How daunting was it to learn drums?" Pill: "Very." Wright: "On a scale of one to 10, how disapproving are you of Scott Pilgrim in the film?" Kendrick: "Five." Wright: "How much did you enjoy beating Scott Pilgrim's head into a curb?" Schwartzman: "Comic-Con-ishly."
