Rosamund Pike hangs alongside Steve Martin, Owen Wilson and Jack Black in The Big Year. Pike—a London native—once played an evil Bond girl in Die Another Die. Hard to picture her as a villain considering she looks so… sweet. Then again, the British accent does jive well with villainy. Next year, she’ll appear in Clash of the Titans II and The Sea.

Wilson, Martin, And Black Have Birdemic In ‘The Big Year’

The casting of Owen Wilson, Steve Martin, and Jack Black against the backdrop of competitive bird watching had me excited to check out the trailer for The Big Year. But only because I assumed it was a new Wes Anderson film. But then I saw the fat one fall down and realized my mistake. The Big Year is actually the latest from Th Devil Wears Prada director, David Frankel, and follows three men in various states of crises as they take a year off in search of birds… and perhaps, themselves.

I would like to do the same but instead of birds, I’d go in search of McRib.

First Oversaturated Look At ‘Rise Of The Apes’s’ Caesar, ‘The Sitter’, ‘Now’, And More!!

Cinema Con is in full swing in Las Vegas and our existing warrants prevented us from attending, but that doesn’t mean we can’t live vicariously through other movie sites. /Film got their hands on a promotional calendar from 20th Century Fox that contains first looks at their upcoming releases that we’ll be poking fun at over the next year. Let’s check them out together while we feel disdain toward the kitten calendars hanging on our office walls that don’t feature movie first looks. Stupid calico. Get out of that birdcage. You are not a bird. You are a kitten.

RISE OF THE APES

Our first look at the CG Caesar. Not too shabby. Excited to see what the apes look like in full. Unless this is actually Frieda Pinto. In which case, ming! Girlfriend let herself go.

NOW

Is this a movie or a Justin Timberlake music video? I’m guessing the lack of Timbaland or white guys with cornrows means it’s a movie.

THE SITTER

I’m told 95% of this film takes place at a fast food drive-thru. Hill’s suggestion.

WE BOUGHT A ZOO

Matt Damon uses a hand puppet to teach his daughter about the birds and bees and guarantee that she grows up to be a Furry.

THE BIG YEAR

Steve Martin, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson camp outside co-star Rashida Jones‘ dressing room window.

THE DESCENDANTS

George Clooney and his The Descendants co-stars also decide to check out Rashida Jones’ dressing room window. Can’t a girl get some privacy???
