This video doesn't have Jason in it, but all Mike talks about is Jason so I thought you might like it. Also, I posted the full article that they did with Mike Judge.

"...These are different types of characters, because it's a factory setting and there are a different type of people that work in those places," added Judge, who once worked in factories as well as cubicles back in the day. "[I just wrote a scene] that will be one of the lamest attempts at an employee walkout ever. It just falls apart right in front of Jason Bateman, because no one has the guts to pull it off. That's going to be funny. There's a B-story of Jason Bateman's character trying, in a drunken state of mind, to hire a gigolo to have sex with his wife, so he doesn't feel guilty about doing the same thing, and that all falls apart. He wants to [cheat on his wife]..."

The Inn (20th Century Fox TV/ Reveille/Principato-Young Entertainment) was given the go-ahead by Fox to meet writers. I'm not sure if they can hire yet, "but it's looking good," a source explains. Directed by Jason Bateman, the pilot "is indeed good at FBC, and it screened best."

J.E. sent me the link to his blog today, which was good because I had forgot about it and his last post is of course making fun of Jason again. It's funny or I'm just tired.

So the end to a great week.


Yesterday I spent the day pretending to confuse Jason Bateman with Michael J. Fox. The more he didn't laugh the funnier it was.


He got most annoyed when I thought he was 40 something. "I'm 39" he said in a high voice, and asked for more make-up.


At one point the sound-man said he could hear Jason's hair because there was so much product in it.


After lunch I went to his trailer to shoot him with my biggest nerf gun (that sounds like a gay euphemism but it isn't). I knocked on the door.


"Who is it?" he said in a camp Teen Wolf Too type voice.


"Ricky" I said.


So for a joke he opened the door mooning me.


This was a bad Idea for two reasons.

1. I shot him in the arse.

2. We were filming it on the cam-corder.

Footage coming soon.


Make-up is for girls...

I haven't entered myself but I thought you might be interested?

Before we get to the widget, ComingSoon.net has posted two international trailers for Will Smith's Hancock that feature a bit more footage than you got to see in the domestic trailer. You can watch those here.


Speaking of the trailer, the new widget (grab it below) for Hancock plays the trailer, has a photo gallery and a contest to win a trip to the premiere. The winner selection is based on how many friends you can get to grab and embed the widget.


The Peter Berg-directed Hancock, also starring Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman, opens July 2nd.

Well, not according to me but the place I got these pictures from. I won't post the shit they said. But I would very much appreciate if you have a minute over and post them a comment and tell them what you think, unless you agree with them.
Either way, enjoy these pictures of the prettiest 39 year old I know. And like Brianna said "If that's haggard than that's more than fine with me!"

And it continues.... :)

RADAR: For all the massive Arrested Development fans, what's the status on the movie?

ALIA SHAWKAT: I think it's happening. I don't want to be the one who says too much though ...


Your colleagues have been talking to the press. [Ed: Plus there's this] Chat away.
They did? (Laughs.) Okay, I'm going to say a lot now ...


I got a call from Mitchell Hurwitz, the creator, and he said "so have you heard about this movie we're supposedly doing?" and I said yes. And he said he was in and it was great. And Jason [Bateman], when he was doing all the Juno press, he basically just talked up [Arrested Development] the movie. He got the publicity going before anything was real. So Mitch talked to Ron Howard, who said he would direct it, and he's down. So I think Mitch was like, "I guess I'll write it then," and that's what I think he's doing now. And yes, I'm involved. I think everyone is.

A little up-date on "Sit Down, Shut up". (Can someone tell me how you are suppose to keep track of all projects going on with him right now? haha)

Fox Television has announced three new prime-time animation series, at least one of which is considered a sure thing to make it on the air next year.


[.....]


"Sit Down, Shut Up," based on an Australian series about high-school teacher who ignore their students, will be produced by "Arrested Development"'s Mitch Hurwitz, and will use three of that show's actors for voices (Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Henry Winkler.)


Both "The Pitts" and "Sit Down, Shut Up" were ordered as "table reads" in lieu of presentations. They have been approved to make one- or two-minute presentations and to hire writers.

Thanks Brianna! :)

Since the youtube video I had below before stopped working, here is the Hancock trailer:

Posted by Linda on 03 May 2008

With his former admirers having deserted him and even kids bad-mouthing his deeds, Hancock saves the life of public relations executive Ray Embry ( Jason Bateman), who wants to repay the debt by giving Hancock a hero-worship makeover.


But it is Embry's wife, Mary ( Charlize Theron), who offers a more provocative twist on Hancock's future: She's not only stunning, but also has her own gifts. Initially dismissive of Hancock, Mary eventually is drawn to him. "Let's say they develop a very complicated and problematic attraction toward each other," Berg says, careful not to give away too much.

[EDIT] Wooooo gallery is fixed! I mailed my host telling them they are idiots for changing my username without heads up, resulting in removing my database... but then they just got back to me saying they fixed it so I'll forgive them![/EDIT]


ince my host Netrillium suck and changed my username yesterday it effected my gallery too. So, this is why it's down right now. I am so sorry about this! Thanks for letting me know Brianna! I think I can fix it in an easy way, because it seems like the pictures are still there if I look at my news posts. But eitherway, if you ever look for a host, don't pick them. They suck from the beginning to the end. So find some other one who doesn't give your page down time every other week. URGH.

Mike Judge, the creator of King of the Hill and Beavis & Butthead, has only directed two live action feature films – Office Space and Idiocracy. One happens to be one of the greatest comedies ever made, while the latter film is definitely not one of the greatest, with some people even calling it one of the worst. Hopefully his next will be a return to greatness.


Variety now reports that Judge is set to direct Extract, a new film that is set to star Jason Bateman.


Mike Judge will direct and Jason Bateman will star in the comedy "Extract," the first project to be produced under Judge's new shingle, Ternion Prods., which he formed with writer-producers John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky.


Ternion is fully financed to develop film, TV, digital and new-media projects through a finance and development deal with Media Rights Capital. The shingle will also produce films and TV projects through the traditional studio and network route.


Penned by Judge, "Extract” explores what it's like to be the boss when everything seems to be shifting around you.
John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky also wrote the Will Ferrell comedy Blades of Glory. It hasn't been revealed when Extract will start production.


Thanks for the news JE!

[EDIT] I had to remove the youtube video since it has stopped working. [/EDIT]


Funny how I posted my last post 5 minutes ago and then I find this right after! So check it out! Now I really can't wait to see it!

Here we have some new footage from the new Will Smith movie Hancock, this new movie footage was aired during last nights US TV Show American Idol. Will Smith stars as a superhero with a difference; he is not in favour with the public as he does not seem to bothered with them, oh did I forget to tell you that he is also a drunk.


Hancock starts to understand that he needs to help to get the support of the most important people, his public and employs the services of a PR man played by Jason Bateman. The PR tries to give Hancock a better image however; things do not go according to plan.


Hancock is a different movie for Will Smith, as we are used to seeing him star in big summer blockbusters, however we are now in some strange territory as this is a comedy.


After watching this new Hancock movie footage it has left me we this strange warm fuzzy feeling, it is nice to see Smith back to what made him a TV star and that is to make people laugh as well as love him at the same time. Never before have we laughed so much at a superhero until now and when was the last time that we see a superhero go to prison.

There just haven't been much Jason news lately, that I've found. But it'll hopefully start soon especially when Hancock gets out. I can't wait to see that movie!
Have any one seen "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"? From the reviews I've read it seems like Jason's part is funny (duuh). But he's known to steal the scenes he is in, so I wouldn't be surpriced if his scene is the funniest.

Pick it up!

Mitch Hurwitz has rounded up a trio of "Arrested Development" veterans for his latest FOX pilot.


According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Henry Winkler will lend their voices to the table read for "Sit Down, Shut Up," an animated project Hurwitz is trying to mount at FOX.


"Sit Down, Shut Up" is based on a short-lived Australian sitcom about a group of high school teachers who care more about their own insecurities than about the needs of their students. FOX has ordered a table read which, if successful, would lead directly to a series order, skipping the standard pilot or presentation process.


In addition to the three "Arrested Development" favorites, the table read cast will also include Cheri Oteri, Will Forte, Regina King, Nick Kroll, Tom Kenny and Maria Bamford.


In other casting news, Ben Feldman ("Living with Fran") has landed one of leads in CBS' "Can Openers," playing a first-year resident in the neurosurgery drama.

Over the weekend, actor Jason Bateman gave his lil sweetheart, Francesca a ride around the Los Angeles farmers market shoulder style.


The bitty beauty's mother is actress Amanda Anka, but it's clear she shares some of the Bateman family genes looking an awful lot like auntie, Justine.


And with her soft wide set eyes, defined nose and subtle chin, the wee one's profile is strikingly similar to her daddy's.
