Will FerrellReporting by Elena Torres

Comedian Danny McBride's description of working with Will Ferrell on the currently-filming flick "Land of the Lost" probably doesn't even come close to what really goes on with the former "Anchorman" on set. "It's pretty cool," McBride said, keeping mum about the 1970's TV show remake.

Talk to Ferrell and producer Adam McKay, however, and they'll tell you that the disaster-prone production has actually been as uncool as Donnie Osmond at a My Chemical Romance concert.

"I think it was like a week ago. This is a very technical movie at times, and things were going pretty slow. So I'm like, enough of this! And I pulled all the fire alarms, and of course it cost us a whole day," Ferrell shrugged. "Basically it cost the movie about $225,000 dollars, and Universal was livid." Read More...

On Sunday, we launched our Sneak Peek Week of upcoming summer films with a screening of Adam Sandler's "You Don't Mess With the Zohan," followed by a Q&A with the star moderated by our own Josh Horowitz. Yesterday evening, we held our second event, this time for the martial arts-themed comedy "The Foot Fist Way." In attendance for the Q&A was the film's star Danny McBride, writer/director Jody Hill and a little-known producer named Will Ferrell.

Stiller: 'Tropic Thunder' Will Be A Funny 'Apocalypse Now'

Ben StillerReporting by Noelle Neuhart

What would it be like if Matthew McConaughey really got caught up in a hostage situation? Would Brad Pitt really be able to de-activate a bomb when the clock has ticked down to the last few seconds? Or would he just wet himself?

These are the humorous questions behind "Tropic Thunder," the high-profile 2008 action/comedy flick currently in its final days of filming. With a cast including Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, and Matthew McConaughey (subbing in for Owen Wilson), it certainly has the pedigree to become a thunderous success. And if a rumored cameo comes together, the film could just cruise to classic status.

"It's about a bunch of movies stars, and a rapper/actor, who get cast in this Vietnam War movie and get sent over to Vietnam to make this film," grinned box-office heavyweight Ben Stiller, who directs and stars in the flick. Read More...

Farrelly Brothers Issue 'Heartbreak' Stars A 'Hall Pass'

Bobby and Peter FarrellyReporting by Alexandra Seitz

As far as purveyors of outrageous comedies go, there aren't many directors more successful than the Farrelly Brothers. Since the blockbuster launches of early hits like "Dumb and Dumber" and "There's Something About Mary," the New England-bred siblings have continued to crank out riotously raunchy comedies - and soon they'll get to work continuing that tradition with the over-the-top script "Hall Pass."

When we recently caught up with the Brothers Farrelly, they clued us in on the exceedingly uncomfortable, grotesque scenes they have lined up for their characters - as well as the unlucky victims who might inhabit them.

"[The main characters are] married guys, and they're faithful to their wives, but they always look at other women," explained Peter Farrelly. "[It gets] to the point where their wives get so annoyed that they say 'We'll give you a week. You can have sex with one other woman,' just to let the guys realize it might not be such a picnic."
