The most recent addition to Gulliver’s Travels is Amanda Peet.

I know what you’re thinking, “Oh god, another remake?!” Yes, another remake. The typical Hollywood tale, take a classic, throw a bunch of stars at it, and hope it makes money.  Do not come up with something original.

The cast now includes Amada Peet, who joins Jack Black, Emily Blunt, Jason Segel and Chris O’Dowd.

Filming has already begun, and Gulliver’s Travels is scheduled for a June 4, 2010 release.

Jack Black, Michael Sera, Paul Rudd, Olivia Wilde, David Cross, Vinnie Jones, and Hank Azaria.  Talk about an all star cast.

The trailer looks pretty funny, though despite the scenery, and clothes, I don’t get the feel that it’s prehistoric based on the language. But that’s fine.  It still looks funny.

Check it out on Yahoo movies: link to trailer!

Tropic Thunder is a movie within a movie starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey, Jr. As you can see in the poster below, our Iron Man is playing an unlikely character…a black man.

Tropic Thunder will be in theaters August 15th.

…and Jack Black spilled the beans. The Bad and the Ugly says that Jack Black, Angelina Jolie’s costar in Kung Fu Panda, let the secret slip during an Access Hollywood episode set to air tonight.

The little buns in Angie’s oven will be children numbers 5 and 6 for Angelina and Brad Pitt. Any bets on when they’re going to stop? When they have a baseball team, maybe?

Greetings, kids! The Box Office totals for this weekend have arrived. Did I get it right this time or am I way off? Take a peek and find out in this week’s edition of DIB?!

Be Kind Rewind: How would you think a video store would save itself when an employee has erased the tapes with his own natural magnetism? Remake and re-shoot all the movies in the craziest manner you can think of!
Will It Bomb? Putting Jack Black and Mos Def together was a very good idea! I loved the trailer and the premise of the film, although I wished it was geared towards older audiences. It’ll hit the middle of the Top 10.
Did It Bomb? It did fairly well, friends. Making $4.1 million, this eased into the #7 spot.
Outcome: Mezza-mezza. ½ out of 4.

Happy weekend, everyone! It’s that time again! The studios are trucking out their latest wares, and it’s up to all of us viewers as to whether we want to shell out the cash and personal time! Here’s what coming to a screen near you! Is it going to bring in some dough or fall flat immediately?

Welcome to this week’s installment of WIB?!

Be Kind Rewind: Mos Def and Jack Black are clerking at a video store (no, this isn’t the classic Kevin Smith flick!), and all the tapes the customers have returned were completely erased. JB has the power to suck all the magnetic force out of the tape! What now? They run to shoot their own versions of these movies, with their own crazy style and at a shorter running time.
Will It Bomb? Being the spastic comedic genius has been good for Jack and Mos Def has done well as the foil (with his awesome role in The Italian Job) and I’ve been waiting this kind of flick. I was hoping for it to be a little more adult-friendly, though. While this is rated PG-13, the trailer made me laugh my head off! Regardless, I’m betting on a middle of the 10 ranking.
