Wes Anderson’s ‘Grand Budapest Hotel’ Adds The Luminous Starpower Of Tilda Swinton And Adrien Brody

Penn Collins — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 19:39:11 +0000

Not to settle with the presence of merely Jude Law, Jeff Goldblum, Ralph Fiennes, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, and Jason Schwartzman, Wes Anderson has decided to not stop casting until he surpasses Altman’s The Player in terms of gratuitous casting. So he’s picked up Tilda Swinton, who can be really funny when she wants to be, even though she rarely wants to be, and Adrien Brody, who is also funny, but only because he resembles an Afghan hound.

The film is set in the 1920′s in a Hungarian hotel, so it‘s guaranteed to shatter box office records on those premises alone.

But if that’s not enough, he’s sweetened the pot with Brody and Swinton. And what a sweet pot it is.

Pawnee, Indiana Gets Another Celebrity Visitor In Jason Schwartzman

Despite being a tiny, obese town with a pretty severe raccoon problem, Parks and Recreation‘s Pawnee, Indiana sure is getting a lot of starpower thrown its way.

Adam Scott, Joe Biden, Megan Mullaly, Rob Lowe, Will Arnett, Andy Samberg, and Paul Rudd have a new tinseltown star joining them in Jason Schwartzman, the Rushmore star and former Phantom Planet drummer.

He’ll be playing a video store clerk (Pawnee isn’t exactly bleeding edge) who fights Ms. Knope when she wants to make the shop a historical landmark. We trust the writers to take it from there.

Appointment television for Bill Murray.

Jason Schwartzman Joins New Wes Anderson Film In Casting Shocker

Geoffrey Golden — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 05:10:37 +0000

Actor Jason Schwartzman has been getting his Frequent Wes Anderson Cast Member Card punched for years. It’s hard to find an actor who’s very good at standing off-center in a shot. Bill Murray also has that talent. Maybe that’s why both actors are coming back for director Anderson‘s latest film.

The new movie, with the totally not hipster-y title Moonrise Kingdom, stars Bruce Willis, Frances McDormand, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, and we’ve now learned, Schwartzman. Moonrise Kingdom takes place in the 60s, where two young people decide to run away together. This causes everyone in their town to panic and form a rescue party to find them. Hopefully there will be more than one scene in which Willis and Murray team-up to do awesome stuff.

Moonrise Kingdom begins shooting this Spring in Rhode Island. (Examiner)

Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman Take Over Atlanta News Station

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

It seems a little convenient that Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman have a movie coming out this weekend and they just so happen to be reporting the weather on Atlanta’s Fox 5 News. Unless this whole thing was an ingenius plan… The two actors, in an effort to promote Scott Pilgrim vs. the World screw around for two minutes in front of an animated green screen. The best part comes right in the beginning when Cera is trampled by a poorly rendered school bus. What would make the clip even better is if the local morning news anchors would shut the hell up. Let the comedians be funny, news anchors. The producer will let you know when there’s an update on those human remains found at the Carvels.

Check out the zany forecast after the jump…

HBO’s ‘Bored to Death’ Season 2 Trailer

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

In the HBO comedy "Bored to Death," Jason Schwartzman plays a struggling writer who is trying his hand at detective work. As a struggling writer myself, the show inspired me to do a little detective work of my own. And as luck would have it, my keen detective skills helped me find this "Bored to Death" Season 2 trailer featuring Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis. I also found a Helen Keller Simulator and some "Night Court" fanfiction, but I figured you’d be more impressed with the trailer.

Get A Good Look At the Competition In ‘Scott Pilgrim’ Character Posters

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

Before the lesbian-haired Scott Pilgrim can live happily ever after with Ramona Flowers, he must pound the crap out of every ridiculously-clothed evildoer who has plowed her fine ass previously. Below the jump, we have a look at the character posters for each evil ex that you’ll see while waiting in a snaking, mile-long line at the multiplex before being seated for your second viewing of The Karate Kid. After viewing each of her eclectic exes, I can say with all certainty that Ramona Flowers rrrrrreally hates her dad.

JASON SCHWARTZMAN & BO BURNHAM IN ‘YO, TEACH!’ – A ‘FUNNY PEOPLE’ META CLIP

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

A little while back, we posted about the Judd Apatow-helmed, Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen-starring Funny People featuring fake films within the film. Well, one of those fakes has found its way to the ‘nets early. It’s Jason Schwartzman as actor Mark Taylor Jackson, starring in his own NBC sitcom, "Yo, Teach!" Imagine "Head of the Class," but with wisecracking city kids instead of precocious geniuses, and with internet comic sensation Bo Burnham appearing as an "F" student who raps to cope with his insecurities.

It’s damn funny stuff, and Apatow nails the tone of all those one-liner-laden sitcoms that still dealt with "the issues" of the day… you know… shows like "Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper" and… every other show on NBC from 1987-2001.

This bodes well for the rest of the film, I’d say. The filmmakers even went so far as to shoot an EPK for the show, which you can watch after the jump. It might be the first EPK worth watching in the history of EPKs.
