Michael Cera: Sherwood Schwartz and his son Lloyd Schwartz have signed a deal to bring Gilligan’s Island to the big screen. I loved Gilligan’s Island as a kid, and am not against the idea of a re-imagining of the series… But it seems to me that LOST is our generation’s version of the 1960’s television series, and anything closer to the source material would just be too silly (I’m imagining something like The Flintstones movie… ewww). Schwartz broke the news at the Be Read full story at /Film

It was only a matter of time before this would happen. We all knew ‘Gilligan’s island’ would get made into a movie.

Review: “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist”
Based on the novel by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. The plot: Nick (Cera) and Norah (Dennings) spend an incredible chaotic but eventually magical night in New York City. Our thoughts: Peter Sollett’s “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” has enough rhythm to maintain the audience’s attention for 90 minutes, but the film definitely lacks the surprise factor we’ve come to appreciate in this new genre of teenage comedies. It’s a shame, really, because the movie holds plenty of unexploited po

Michael Cera Holding Up \"Arrested Development\" Movie?
It increasingly seems that all parties are on track to make an "Arrested Development" movie - except perhaps for Michael Cera.From Mitch Hurwitz, who is the creator and executive producer of the show, to narrator and producer Ron Howard and much of the cast, enthusiasm for the project is high.In fact, "Juno" and "Superbad" actor Michael Cera, who played George Michael Bluth, appears to be the lone holdout. Fancast scored an interview with Hurwitz, and he revealed the following:So what of the rumors that new

MICHAEL CERA: HE’S DOWN FOR DEVELOPMENT
In commenting on a recent VARIETY story that told of the possibilities of a feature film version of the defunct TV series Arrested Development, our pals over at DEFAMER (via The National Post) seem to be under the impression that series Star Michael Cera isn’t game to return to the role that put his cherubic little face on the map. That’s interesting since we spoke with Cera in late September and, while he hadn’t heard of a film being made, that wasn’t the impression he gave us so w

Are Nick & Norah Fans Really Flocking to Veselka?
Every NYC movie/tv show can create a new pop culture landmark and tourist destination. Serious Eats points out that When Harry Met Sally had Katz's and Sex and the City had Magnolia, and now Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist has staked a claim on Veselka. Owner Tom Birchard told SE that they were "slammed all weekend" with folks allegedly wanting to recreate the scene where Michael Cera and Kat Dennings enjoy some pierogies at the 24-hour eatery (the address is even given in the dialogue). No word on if Arle

New York. Music. Stories.
1. Have you seen Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist yet? I love this movie so hard. Anyone who likes music and spotting New York City landmarks will enjoy this film. Oh and Michael Cera and Kat Dennings are great great, as are blond guy from Spring Awakening, and Ari Graynor who plays the most convincing drunk girl I’ve seen in a long time. Oh and some cameos from Devendra Banhart, Bishop Allen, Project Jenny Project Jan, etc etc. Whoever did the location scouting on this movie got it RIGHT. B

Michael Cera's turning geekdom into gold
Move over dark-haired dreamboats - these days Hollywood is all about revenge of the nerds. And right now, Michael Cera is the awkward teen of the moment. Thanks to back-to-back critical successes, "Superbad" and "Juno," which grossed over $100 million each, Cera is now at the center of the Hollywood limelight - and on plenty of dorm room posters too.

The Music of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Perhaps I'm stating the obvious, but the best soundtracks always take on the character of the movie they accompany, and vice versa, and that's certainly the case with Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. The film, which follows the bridge-and-tunnel protagonists Nick (Michael Cera) and Norah (Kat Dennings) on a night of hijinks through the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan, is packed full of blink-and-you-miss-it hipster cameos from current faves Andy Samberg, Seth Myers, John Cho and Kevin Corrigan.

Turns out that David Fincher/Keanu Reeves cooking movie, "Chef" is actually a reality.MTV caught up with the director and he spilled the beans on the idea. First off he says it's not an adaptation of Anthony Bourdain’s best-selling memoir “Kitchen Confidential," though he was once attached to that project when it was called, "Smeared."“‘Seared’ was a defunct property at New Line. They decided to go ahead and make ‘Kitchen Confidential’ as a [television] series. This is an original script that

BEYONCE - \"HALO\" & \"DIVA\" VIDEOS
The video premieres for the second pair of singles lifted off Beyonce's current album, "I Am...Sasha Fierce" debut onto the blogosphere. "Halo" taken off the "I Am..." side has actor Michael Ealy as her leading man and "Diva" (off the "Sasha Fierce" side) was directed by Melina. I prefer the Phillip Andleman-directed "Halo" video more out of the two because of how real the chemistry between Mrs. Carter and Mr. Ealy came across. "Diva" is where Beyonce's alter ego Sasha Fierce lets loose and she

Although I was pleased with the return of color, I found the video for "Halo" boring &, dangit, too bright! Also, what's with the actor anyway? We already have set in our minds that she's with Jay-Z, so I don't buy it. I will say, however, that I find these two single choices stronger than the first tw
