And the casting for "G.I. Joe 2" carries on.

They teamed together on "The Break-Up" and "Couples Retreat," but Jason Bateman and Vince Vaughn's latest reunion could truly test their friendship.
Deadline reports that Bateman is in early talks with Universal Pictures to co-star alongside Vaughn in "Insane Laws," a new movie about two longtime best friends whose relationship is strained when their kids go off to college together and fall in love. Things get even hairier when the daughter of Vaughn's character gets pregnant. No official deal is in place just yet, but the two reportedly participated in a read-through of the material, and production could start as early as this fall.

Though "Horrible Bosses" stars Jason Bateman and Charlie Day might not have been up for any MTV Movie Awards, they still were a bit defensive about the way "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" swept Sunday's awards show.
"There's nothing but Brits," Bateman said. "Lots of Brits on stage."
Day agreed with Bateman's sentiments. "I think I'm up to 15 Brits, and why do we let them in here?" he deadpanned. "I mean, they win all our awards and they get all our acting jobs. You know, I could be a vampire. Not now, but 15 years ago."
Bateman seemed to doubt whether Robert Pattinson's accent was even real.

Jason Sudeikis is one lucky MTV Movie Awards host because, not only is he friends with a previous Movie Awards host, he has one on hand at his other job.
When MTV News chatted with Sudeikis after the Sneak Peek Week preview of "Horrible Bosses," he talked about the advice his "Saturday Night Live" costar and former Movie Awards host Andy Samberg gave him about this weekend's big show. Here's a surprise: his advice wasn't very funny.
"It was merely, 'Have a good time,'" Sudeikis said. "When I asked him, 'Should I do it?' he said, 'Yes, you have to do it,' and I was like, 'Okay, 'but then I realized that's because he forgot all the hard work that went into it, and just remembering how fun it was after he was done with it and people probably telling him what a great job he did, which he did."

Jason Sudeikis might be a regular at hanging with his fellow celebrities thanks to his work on "Saturday Night Live" and his gig hosting the MTV Movie Awards, but there still is one person he is dying to meet: Eddie Murphy.
MTV News caught up with Sudeikis to chat about "Horrible Bosses" during Sneak Peek Week, and one of the questions we tossed at him was about who his favorite '80s action star or rock band was. Sudeikis (and yours truly) consider "Beverly Hills Cop" to be one of the great action comedies of that era, and that's how Murphy climbed to the top of his list.
"I think he's something else," Sudeikis said. "I never got to meet him, but I think that's who I would probably pick."

Donald Trump might want to say "You're Fired!" to Jason Sudeikis after hearing what the "Horrible Bosses" star had to say about the "Apprentice" host's role as a boss in real life. But luckily for the "Saturday Night Live" cast-member, there was nothing but praise for his actual boss.
The topic of real-life bosses came up during the MTV Sneak Peek Week Q&A with Sudeikis, Jason Bateman and director Seth Gordon about "Horrible Bosses," the forthcoming comedy where three friends (Sudekis, Bateman and Charlie Day) conspire to murder their awful employers (Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey) in something of a mix of "9 to 5" and "Strangers on a Train."
Real-life real estate mogul and potential politician Donald Trump was the first famous boss introduced into the conversation. "I don't know if he's a good boss," offered Sudekis. "He seems kind of like the Ronald McDonald of bosses. He's more of a figurehead. He probably makes decisions but I bet people are kind of like, 'Ah [makes dismissive motion].'"

Jason Sudeikis and Jason Bateman ran into an interesting problem on the set of "Horrible Bosses." Both men are brilliant comedic actors, so casting them together was a wise decision. But with all of the fast-paced conversations that happen in moviemaking, how, exactly, was director Seth Gordon and his crew or costars like Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell supposed to differentiate between two leads with the same first name? During an MTV Sneak Peek Week Q&A, Jason and Jason (one of them is hosting this weekend's MTV Movie Awards) revealed the outrageously crude nicknames they developed to solve the problem. Watch the very much NSFW video here:

Oh, "Arrested Development" movie. Just when we thought we were making progress, you knock the wind right out of our sails.
At last night's Sneak Peek Week Q&A session for "Horrible Bosses," the inevitable topic of "Arrested Development" came up when a fan tweeted the following question for Jason Bateman: "Do you think after this part [in 'Horrible Bosses,' Jennifer] Aniston may get her cameo on the Arrested Development movie?"
Sounds like a great idea to us, but sadly, Bateman's immediate answer wasn't exactly encouraging on the "Arrested" front in general.
