'Bridesmaids,' 'Community' Paintball Finale And The 'Buffy' Reboot In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 5/12/11 2:31 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


Bridesmaids"Bridesmaids" is almost here, and it looks like director Paul Feig is getting some pre-wedding jitters, if his recent tweets are any indication. Of course, he's got nothing to worry about — early buzz is very positive, with many members of the Twitter-Wood community already rallying behind the Kristen Wiig comedy.

But critical acclaim doesn't always translate to financial success, of course. Hollywood producer Jeff Katz hopped on Twitter and went over the latest tracking data for this summer's hottest movies, and some of the results may surprise you.

Plus, if you thought Sarah Michelle Gellar's anti-"Buffy" reboot stance would slow the movie's progress down, you're in for a rude awakening: screenwriter Whit Anderson says it's very much still on track.

'Rally to Restore Sanity,' Yom Kippur And Kenny Powers And In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 9/20/10 9:18 am EST by in Twitter-Wood


Twitter-Wood got so enthusiastic today that I had to censor a couple of f-bombs out. Patton Oswalt, for instance ran into "Eastbound and Down" star Danny McBride, while Richard Kelly got a little high off learning that John Stewart and Stephen Colbert would be holding competing rallies in Washington, D.C.

Oswalt even posted a picture to prove it, as did James Gunn from the "Super" premiere, Sofia Vergara from the "Modern Family" set and Donald Glover from a Blu-ray rack. You can check out those shots down below along with Conan O'Brien's thoughts for Yom Kippur and one actors dream of getting onto "The Real World."

Donald Glover On Just For Laughs, Justin Bieber And Being A Rising Comedy Star

Posted 6/22/10 6:18 pm EST by in News


Next week will mark the four year anniversary of the day Donald Glover and his buddies introduced the world to Bro Rape, the heinously hilarious crime in which a Birkenstock-wearing, "Family Guy"-watching dude has his way with an unsuspecting (and super drunk) pal.

7.7 million views for that YouTube sketch later, Glover finds himself a rising comedy star. No exaggeration. This year's Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal is honoring the 26-year-old as its Rising Comedy Star of the Year. Things have been going pretty well for the guy as of late. He stars in NBC's "Community," his comedy troupe continues to pump out click-attracting web videos and earlier this month he found himself the focus of an Internet campaign to land the role of Peter Parker in the upcoming "Spider-Man" reboot.

But there's something about that Bro Rap video that Glover just can't escape. And he's cool with that. Glover heads to Just for Laughs — which is also honoring Aziz Ansari as Breakout Star of the Year and three "Glee" scribes as Comedy Writer of the Year — starting on July 12 for six straight days of stand-up performances. Before he heads north of the border, Glover gave MTV News a call to chat about what he has planned for Montreal, his plans for the future and his beef with Justin Bieber. Read More...

Posted 4/14/10 4:50 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


"The Last Airbender" gained at least one new actor in its final days of re-shoots, according to the tweets of Aasif Mandvi. He didn't indicate whether or not the last-minute casting was for a major part, but it sounds like everyone had a good time.

Many more Twitter-Wood citizens had a grand time at the "Kick-Ass" premiere last night, and several big-name attendees were particularly impressed with Hit-Girl actress Chloe Moretz. Eli Roth and Nathan Fillion were two of them. In other posts, Damon Lindelof did his best to sell "Glee" watchers on "Lost," Randy Newman's "Toy Story 3" scoring wrapped and David Wain went to the dentist.

Posted 1/12/10 6:00 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


When Sony announced their plan to reboot their Spider-Man movies, the future of the franchise became last night's unofficial Twitter-Wood topic of discussion among skeptics, fans and even cast members. Elizabeth Banks, for one, said her farewell to playing Betty Brant with a tweet, while "Community" star Donald Glover put his name out as an option to replace Tobey Maguire and Joe Lynch just wonders how long the "Iron Man" films will last before the same fate befalls them.

And speaking of the "Iron Man" films, director Jon Favreau like the "Thor" set so much when he visited that he's now announced he'll be dropping by as frequently as possible. Those posts are all retweeted after the jump where you can also find out which actress says "Youth in Revolt" reminded her of her own life and whether or not Wil Wheaton plans on playing "Star Trek Online." It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for January 12, 2010. Read More...
