New photos: ‘I Love You, Man’

May 30th, 2008 at 9:56 pm

Some of these shots might look like paparazzi photos, but I don’t think Jason Segel wears a pair of Uggs in real life. Or maybe he does? The pictures were taken by jcollesano at Venice Beach. ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ star Jason Segel was there to film his new comedy ‘I Love You, Man.’ He co-stars with Paul Rudd, who also had a small role as Chuck in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall.’

The movie is produced, written and directed by John Hamburg, who previously made Ben Stiller’s ‘Along Came Polly’ and co-wrote ‘Meet the Fockers.’ ‘I Love You, Man’ is currently planned for January next year.

Actors: Holly Hunter gets 2,363rd star

May 30th, 2008 at 9:20 pm

Holly Hunter Walk of Fame Star

Steven Spielberg and Ed Harris unveiled Holly Hunter’s star on the Hollywood ‘Walk of Fame’ today. The star of TV series ‘Saving Grace’ got famous when she won an Oscar for her role in ‘The Piano’ in 1993. I can’t say I remember that one, but in more recent memory she got an Oscar nomination for playing the mother in ‘Thirteen.’

Steven Spielberg, her longtime friend, was there to unveil the tile. He directed Hunter in the 1989 romance ‘Always’ and placed a full-page ad in the Daily Variety saying, “We are so proud of you and your ‘fierce heat of living’.” Care to explain, Steven?

Friday ‘Sex and the City’ box office bonanza

May 30th, 2008 at 8:09 pm

Sarah Jessica Parker Nice

There might be an overdoses ‘Sex and the City’ coming out for men this weekend, depending on if the movie keeps up the numbers. O, how I hate to be right. I knew the analysts were underestimating the power of those movie-hungry women. Variety reports the chick flick is set for an estimated $20 million opening day. Beating even my overly optimistic expectations. This includes the early Thursday shows past midnight, which were mostly sold out. Yes, these numbers justify all the awesome Sarah Jessica Parker faces (1, 2, 3, 4).

It could even be possible for the movie to really beat ‘Indiana Jones 4′ in its second weekend. With a $20 million opening, anything is possible. Since the ‘Sex and the City’ movie can’t be put into a box easily, the industry’s projections are all over the place. Some expect it to keep up during the weekend, while others say the numbers will drop after the early adopters saw the movie this Friday. I’m expecting the ladies to keep dropping in with big numbers during the whole weekend.

Reuters is currently reporting $12 million in pink tickets overseas. $7 million in the U.K., $3 million in Germany and $1.3 million in France. Are the creators already penning a sequel?
