Moonrise Kingdom is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this Wednesday, and with less than two weeks until the film starts rolling out in select cities Stateside, it's time to start getting psyched. In order to facilitate psychedness, Focus Features has released no fewer than four behind-the-scenes featurettes, all of them executed in the style of director Wes Anderson. Each one is hosted by a noticeably amused Bob Balaban, who also narrates the film.
Last week brought three handsome images from Moonrise Kingdom, the latest directorial endeavor from Wes Anderson. Looks like those three stills were buttering us up for today's arrival of the first official poster for Anderson's first live-action feature since 2007's The Darjeeling Limited. It's a good-looking poster that manages to brag on its formidable cast while still keeping classy, dropping names like Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Bob Balaban.
The young Australian actor who made a big impression as Viggo Mortensen’s son in The Road and the lead in Let Me In has revealed his next role to We’ve Got This Covered. Kodi Smit-McPhee says he’s starring in The Congress, along with Paul Giamatti, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, and Harvey Keitel.
Dustin Hoffman will reunite with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro on Little Fockers after all, reports Deadline.com. While the original cut of the film, due out this December, didn't include Hoffman, Universal saw fit to film at least four new scenes featuring the Oscar-winning actor, as well as his on-screen Focker wife, Barbara Streisand.
Sometimes a movie franchise is able to keep forging ahead just based on the charisma and chemistry between its main stars; the Meet the Parents films are certainly in that category. The dynamic between Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro is just too enjoyable to ignore, and let's face it: no matter how many times they make nice, there's always going to be some tension between in-laws and the one who took their baby away. (Besides, Ben Stiller is just easy to pick on.)
So it is that Little Fockers is on its way this December, with Stiller, De Niro, Teri Polo, Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner and Barbara Streisand all returning and being joined by newbies Jessica Alba, Laura Dern, Harvey Keitel (!!) and, of course, the "little Fockers".
It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Teri Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg (Ben Stiller) to finally get “in” with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack (Robert De Niro). When Greg and Pam’s entire clan — including Pam’s lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson) — descends for the twins’ birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he’s fully capable as the man of the house.
