Opening in theaters on January 27th is a new thriller from director Asger Leth (Ghosts of Cite Soleil) called Man on a Ledge. The film features an excellent cast of young and veteran actors including Sam Worthington (Texas Killing Fields), Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games), Jaime Bell (The Eagle), Anthony Mackie (Real Steel), Edward Burns (Newlyweds), Genesis Rodriguez (TV's Entourage), Titus Welliver (TV's Lost), Kyra Sedgwick (TV's The Closer), and Ed Harris (The Rock). 

IAR's Managing Editor Jami Philbrick recently had an opportunity to sit down and speak with actor Edward Burns about his role in Man on a Ledge. Burns discussed the new film, why he took the role, what he looks for in Hollywood scripts, playing a New York cop, collaborating with Elizabeth Banks, working opposite Titus Welliver, and what it feels like to actually walk out on the ledge of a building. 

Just about a month ago, the first official trailer for Casa de mi Padre provided a very brief, thirty-second glimpse at the wondrous lunacy of the upcoming comedy.  Now, a full theatrical trailer offers a double-barreled blast of gleeful ridiculousness from the film, which stars Will Ferrell as a poor ranch hand.  That might not sound terribly odd, until you consider that Casa de mi Padre contains only a tiny amount of English; it's done in the overblown, melodramatic style of a Mexican soap opera, up to and included almost exclusively Spanish dialogue.  The film is produced by Ferrell's frequent director Adam McKay, and based on this trailer, it contains the happily anarchic, strange spirit of their best work together.

Two weeks ago, the first official trailer for Casa de mi Padre took thirty quick seconds to introduce Armando Alvarez, the hero played by Will Ferrell.  With that bombastic teaser heralding the coming of this man amongst men, there are now two eye-catching posters for the comedy, both of which play up Alvarez's indomitable masculinity.  Hopefully, that will override the average American moviegoer's aversion to subtitles.  Casa de mi Padre is done in the over-the-top style of a Mexican soap opera, and as such contains only a tiny bit of English, with Ferrell and the rest of the cast speaking Spanish the whole time.

Last week we saw two posters for Casa de mi Padre, the comedy that has Will Ferrell playing Mexican ranch hand Armando Alvarez.  Today, a really quick teaser trailer for the film arrived online, and it provides just the smallest sampling of the lunacy sure to be contained in the film, which is done in the style of a Spanish-language soap opera and contains only a minimal amount of English.  This thirty-second introductory teaser doesn't really clue audiences in to that fact, what with most people's aversion to subtitles and all, but instead gets some good trailer voice going and relies on Will Ferrell being goofy.  The inarguable highlight of this half minute, though, is definitely Diego Luna wielding two handguns, John Woo-style.

Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, who worked together in both Y tu mamá también and Rudo y Cursi have just signed on to work with Will Ferrell in Casa de mi padre.
