The previously released first image of director Todd Phillips' The Hangover 2 showed the group of four friends (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Justin Bartha) heading to the airport to start their trip to Thailand to celebrate Stu's (Helms) wedding. The two latest images show that things (expectantly) go a little awry on the trip.
One photo shows Galifianakis, Cooper, and Helms approaching a monkey dressed in a tiny, denim jacket (with Helms sporting a similar face tattoo to that of Mike Tyson), while the second photo shows the same three guys seemingly trapped in a room.
While the plot revolves around Stu's wedding to Jamie Chung, Helms recently told AccessHollywood that the movie won't revolve around his character.
There are narrative devices that hang around Stu, but it’s... not Stu’s movie. It is Alan [Galifianakis] and like Mike [Tyson] and everybody — the whole gang.

HBO is turning Andrew Ross Sorkin's best-selling financial meltdown thriller — based on the 2008 true story! — Too Big to Fail into a movie, and has so far really nailed the cast. Paul Giamatti at Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Ed Asner as capitalist icon Warren Buffett, James Woods as slimy Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld, and of course William Hurt as Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
The only one that's off the mark — way off the mark — is Dan Hedaya as House Financial Services Committe chairman Barney Frank. While a talented character actor, Hedaya's best at roles like Nick Tortelli on Cheers, rather than a portly, wise-cracking Congressman from Massachusetts. Damn you, Dom DeLuise, for dying last year!
Too Big to Fail is directed by LA Confidential director Curtis Hanson, with shooting scheduled to start yet this fall and a release set for 2011. Posted 10.13.10 by reelz -

Fans got a sneak preview of some teaser footage from the David Fincher-produced animated adaptation of The Goon prior to the San Diego Comic-Con, but now the entire concept trailer has made its way online. Based on Eric Powell's comic book, The Goon features the voices of Clancy Brown and Paul Giamatti as the Goon and Franky, respectively, two friends who fight off the zombie plague. Powell wrote the script for the adaptation and, at the Comic-Con panel for the project, revealed that all the major characters from the comic book would be in the movie.

It has been two years since it was first announced that a David Fincher-produced animated adaptation of Eric Powell's comic book, The Goon, would be coming to the big screen. Since then, all that has been seen of the project is the initial teaser poster from the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) and a single still image of Dark Horse Comics's zombie-stomping anti-hero and his sidekick, Frankie. Now, MTV has provided a first glimpse of the animation created by Blur Studios, in advance of the debut of the full cut of the teaser trailer at the Comic Con 2010 panel for The Goon on Friday night.

Bubba Ho-Tep became a cult hit in 2002 with its story about a mummy that stalks a nursing home and is dispatched by a man who thinks he's Elvis (Bruce Campbell) and another who thinks he's former President John F. Kennedy (Ossie Davis). The movie ended with a tease for a sequel, Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires. Originally intended as a joke, the sequel became a reality after the strong audience response to Bubba Ho-Tep.
Campbell left the project in 2007, citing differences over the script between himself and director Don Coscarelli. In 2008, Ron Perlman was suggested as a possible replacement for Campbell by Paul Giamatti, who is set to play Elvis' manager Colonel Parker in the movie, but, again, progress stalled. Undeterred, Giamatti spoke to MTV about the sequel, claiming that Bubba Nosferatu will definitely be produced. One day.

He's played a villain before, but never while wearing a crown.
