New 'Arrested Development' Is One Of Michael Cera's 'Favorite Seasons'

Posted 1/22/13 12:35 pm EST by in Interviews, Sundance, Video

Michael Cera has recently had his plate rather full of acting jobs, premiering two films at this year's Sundance, in addition to reprising the role of George Michael Bluth on the new season of "Arrested Development." When the cult favorite returned for a fourth season, however, Cera added one more job, as a writer on the show.

The transition to writer began simply as creator Mitch Hurwitz asking him to join the team in the writers' room, as Cera explained to MTV News' Josh Horowitz while in Park City, Utah.

"Mitch mentioned to me coming in one day, and I was very excited that he had invited me," Cera said. "I went in, and he said, 'Come back tomorrow,' and I kept coming back because I really wanted to stick around until I integrated with them."

'Austenland' Exclusive Clip: Janie's Got A Gun

Posted 1/18/13 8:05 am EST by in Video

Keri Russell knows her way around a gun. We saw this in "Mission: Impossible 3," we're about to see it on the Cold War spy drama "The Americans," and attendees of the Sundance Film Festival are going to see it for themselves in "Austenland," Russell's indie about a woman obsessed with the works of Jane Austen — specifically Colin Firth's take on the Mr. Darcy character from the BBC production of "Pride and Prejudice" — who indulges her obsession by traveling to an English resort that caters to Austenites.

In this exclusive clip from "Austenland," Russell's character, Jane Hayes, shows that she's a natural in the realm of out-of-circulation Victorian firearms. It's a quirky clip that gives you a great idea of what the Stephenie Meyer-produced film has in store. Check it out below:

"Austenland" plays at Sundance this week and next, with screenings scheduled for January 18, January 19, January 21, January 22, January 24 and January 26.

If you're only familiar with "Guillermo del Toro, director of visually stunning, often very scary films," then there's a large portion of work that you're missing from the beloved filmmaker. Del Toro has been producing movies for as long as he's been directing them, and his latest credit, "Mama," opens in theaters on Friday.

When MTV News sat down with del Toro and the helmer of "Mama," Andés Muschietti, the "Pacific Rim" director discussed the role of producing in his career.

"Mama," which stars Jessica Chastain, began as a Spanish-language short, directed by Muschietti. (You can watch the original after the jump.) When del Toro found the short after it surged in popularity on the internet, he contacted Muschietti about turning it into a feature.

Exclusive 'Broken City' Clip: Wahlberg Being Wahlberg

Posted 1/10/13 2:04 pm EST by in Video

As easy as it may be to parody him sometimes—say "hello" to your mother for me—Mark Wahlberg has done something that few of his contemporaries will ever be able to lay claim to. In his own way, Wahlberg has created an on-screen persona both entirely his own and always entertaining.

In this exclusive clip from Wahlberg's upcoming film "Broken City," that character is on full display, and you have to admit it. It works.

"Broken City" casts Wahlberg as Billy Taggart, a decorated ex-cop who finds himself on a dangerous new assignment—following the major's wife.

Wahlberg, who has come to blows with a host of powerful on-screen opponents, may face his toughest challenge yet with "Broken City"'s mayor of New York City, played by Russell Crowe.

"Broken City" opens on January 18.

Ryan Gosling And Will Ferrell Just Want To Sell Knives

Everyone was so excited when Jimmy Kimmel moved his show up to 11:35, but they forgot one thing. One very important thing.

Kimmel never thought about the fact that you can't just move your show up without checking the studio sign-in sheet first, because if he had, he would have seen that Will Ferrell and Ryan Gosling film their QVC knife show, "Knife Guys," on Wednesdays at that same time.

And last night, the oversight made for some awkward moments and hilarious television. Check out the video after the jump!

Jennifer Lawrence's 'House At The End' Co-Star Really Embraced The 'Psycho' Thing

Posted 1/8/13 3:00 pm EST by in Video

To effectively play the psychotic neighbor in a Jennifer Lawrence movie, you kind of just have to go for it. That was the idea behind Max Thieriot's performance in "House at the End of the Street," which hits Blu-ray and DVD today.

In an exclusive featurette from the disc, Lawrence recalls what it was like working on set with Thieriot when he was in his crazy mode. "Max is a really great actor. He can just turn on and off, and it's very strange to watch the light in his eyes kind of get dark the instant [the director] calls 'Action.' "

For a further explanation of Thieriot's method behind the madness, listen for the piece of advice he took from Charles Manson. Yikes.

"House at the End of the Street" hits Blu-ray and DVD today!
