Judd Apatow, the guy behind the fun

June 18th, 2008 at 1:48 pm

Already past the stage of rising star, Judd Apatow took home a Visionary Award at The Hollywood Reporter’s Key Art Awards last week. If you don’t know the guy, you don’t know fun or it’s just because he’s always behind the scenes. Apatow is responsible for billions in revenue from movies like ‘The 40 Year Old Virgin,’ ‘Knocked Up,’ ‘Superbad’ and ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall.’

He also produced ‘Pineapple Express,’ which comes out August 6.

Louis Leterrier will make any movie Marvel wants

June 10th, 2008 at 1:31 pm

Louis Leterrier Incredible Hulk

At the premiere of ‘The Incredible Hulk’ director Louis Leterrier said he would love to make another Hulk movie. “I’ll do another ‘Hulk’ movie any day of the week. I love it! I love the character, I love the TV show. I love that he’s an anti-hero,” Leterrier said. Well, we know Marvel has a plan for all their movies, which includes a sequel. But we also know Marvel keeps their directors in the dark, maybe to replace them with fresh blood?

In any case, Leterrier will direct anything Marvel throws at him. “I’ll direct anything that Marvel puts out. I’m going to be camping out at the Marvel office to direct anything they want,” he joked.

If the ‘The Incredible Hulk’ tracking numbers are correct, the movie’s box office will guarantee a sequel. But will the Frenchman direct it, who knows.

Ben Stiller and Reese Witherspoon in new romcom

Ben Stiller Reese Witherspoon

Cameron Crowe has brought together a quite unusual couple, Reese Witherspoon and Ben Stiller. Together they will star in an untitled romantic comedy, just bought by Columbia Pictures. The studio wouldn’t announce what the script is about, but it is written Cameron Crowe, so this probably won’t be your standard love story.

The writer/director, who previously made ‘Jerry Maguire’ and ‘Almost Famous,’ will also fill the director’s chair. He wrote and directed those two movies for Columbia Pictures too.
