Office Christmas Party Trailer – Jennifer Aniston & Jason Bateman lead a star-studded festive film

By

office-christmas-partyOffice Christmas Party is a bit of a lazy title for a movie, but at least it should do exactly what it says on the tin. However, to give it a bit of a boost they’ve lined up a good cast, led by Horrible Bosses and The Switch co-stars Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston, as well as Olivia Munn, Jamie Chung, Rob Corddry, Jillian Bell, T.J. Miller and Kate McKinnon.

As you might have suspected from the title, the movie is about an office party gone awry. Aniston plays an uptight CEO who threatens to shut down the branch her brother (Bateman) manages, He decided the best way to fight back is to throw an epic Christmas party in order to land a big client. However, his plan to save the day quickly goes wrong when the party gets massively out of hand.

Blades of Glory’s Will Speck and Josh Gordon direct from a script by Lee Eisenberg, Gene Stupnitsky and Laura Solon. Unsurprisingly it’ll be hitting cinemas just before Christmas. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

By

ghostbusters-2016-slideA couple of days ago we posted the new trailer for the Ghostbusters remake/reboot. Now it’s been joined by its International counterpart, offering some new footage and a further taste of Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones’s spook-hunting team, as well as the absolute dimness of Chris Hemsworth’s secretary character.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Ghostbusters makes its long-awaited return, rebooted with a cast of hilarious new characters. Thirty years after the beloved original franchise took the world by storm, director Paul Feig brings his fresh take to the supernatural comedy, joined by some of the funniest actors working today – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth. This summer, they’re here to save the world!

The film is produced by Ivan Reitman and Amy Pascal, and written by Katie Dippold & Paul Feig, based on the 1984 film “Ghostbusters,” written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis and directed by Ivan Reitman.’

New Ghostbusters Trailer – The spooks are back, with only Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig & co. to fight them

By

ghostbusters-2016-slideEver since it was announced that Sony was reviving the Ghostbusters franchise with a new, all-female team, there have been some grumblers out there saying it shouldn’t have been done. That wasn’t helped by the first trailer, with many saying it made the whole thing look like a complete travesty. Now though, another trailer has arrived, which certainly shows more promise, suggesting something new while having a few callbacks to the original.

This time around the people fighting the ghosts are Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. It’s been confirmed be set in a parallel universe where the events of the earlier movies never happened, although the likes Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts, will be in the film, playing different characters.

Other new faces include Charles Dance, Michael Kenneth Williams and Chris Hemsworth (who’ll be the women’s hunky secretary. Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) directs, with a July release set. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Ghostbusters Trailer – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig & co. are out to beat the spooks

By

ghostbusters-2016-slideEver since it was announced that Sony was reviving the Ghostbusters franchise with a new, all-female team, there have been some grumblers out there saying it shouldn’t have been done. However, now the first proper trailer is here, which gives us our first proper look at the movie. While slightly different in tone to the original, it does look like it’ll be a lot of fun.

This time around the people fighting the ghosts are Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. Previous reports have suggested that the film would be set in a parallel universe where the events of the earlier movies never happened, but the trailer suggests that’s not true, although it doesn’t full explain why the actors from the original movies, such as Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts, will be in the film but apparently playing different characters (it’s also notable that they were left out of the trailer).

Other new faces include Charles Dance, Michael Kenneth Williams and Chris Hemsworth (who’ll be the women’s hunky secretary. Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) directs, with a July release set. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Jennifer Aniston & Jason Bateman Reuniting For Office Christmas Party

By

jason-batemanHorrible Bosses co-stars Jennifer Aniston & Jason Bateman have decided it’s time to work together again, as THR reports theyre getting back together to star in Office Christmas Party (although lets hope that’s just a working title, as it’s a dreadful name). Dreamworks is back the movie with Blades of Glory directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon helming from a script by Lee Eisenberg, Gene Stupnitsky and Laura Solon.

TJ Miller and Kate McKinnon are also set to star in the movie, which follows ‘a cast of characters who have to contend with an office party gone awry’. There’s not much more info than that about the movie, but presumably we can expect drunken hook-up, people telling the boss things they shouldn’t and plenty of behaviour they’ll be embarassed about on Monday morning.

The movie will shoot this Spring, with a December 2016 release date already set.

Get Your First Look At Chris Hemsworth In The Ghostbusters Reboot

By

ghostbusters-2016-pic1-slideWith this summer’s new take on Ghostbusters, they’re not just swapping the gender of the spook fighters, but also of their secretary. Annie Potts who played Janine Melnitz in 1984’s Ghostbusters and its 1989 sequel has morphed into the form of Chris Hemsworth’s Kevin. Now we can get out first look at him in the movie thanks to a new pic.

Annie Potts will still be around though, but like Sigourney Weaver, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Pitts and even Bill Murray she’ll be playing a different character than in the original. It appears the movie takes place in a parallel universe to the original movies, where the busters never existed and no one knows ghosts exists.

Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones will be the women who team up to take on the supernatural – and each of them also gets a new pic too, which you can take a look at below. A trailer is expected very soon (it looks like it might it might arrived to tie in with the Superbowl). [Read more…]
