Johnny Depp's Dr. Seuss Biopic Features Animated Characters?

Posted 10/25/11 11:31 am EST by Terri Schwartz in Casting Call

Apparently Dr. Seuss won't be the only colorful character in Johnny Depp's upcoming biopic about the children's book author. Some of his beloved characters might be making an appearance in the film as well.

In an interview with Larry King, Depp said that the biographical movie will likely feature a combination of live action and animation.

"It's something we're developing with Seuss' widow, [Theodor] Geisel's widow," he said. "It's a very exciting possibility, because it's a combination of live-action and ... the characters will certainly have a role."

Aziz Ansari To Host Jason Sudeikis: Don't Look At Jackie Chan

Posted 6/5/11 1:00 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in MTV Movie Awards

When it comes to hosting the MTV Movie Awards, Aziz Ansari knows a thing or two about how to do it right.

Last year's host chatted with MTV News during Friday night's Sneak Peek Week event with his new flick "30 Minutes or Less," and he offered up the most important advice he had for Jason Sudeikis, who is hosting this year's ceremony.

His words of wisdom? Don't look at Jackie Chan during the show. Ever.

Why's Movie Awards Host Jason Sudeikis 'Mad' At Andy Samberg?

Posted 6/4/11 3:00 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Interviews, MTV Movie Awards, Video

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 And Jason Bateman Hate (But Secretly Love) Their On-Screen 'Horrible Bosses'

Posted 6/4/11 11:45 am EST by Terri Schwartz in Interviews

There isn't much hedging about the fact that "Horrible Bosses" has its fair share of horrible bosses, but when MTV News chatted with two of the film's three leading men, we couldn't resist asking if they found anything redeeming about their onscreen higher-ups.

The overwhelming response: no. But Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis seemed to think that Jennifer Aniston had the best shot of being a generally good person. "If Charlie [Day] wasn’t such a bitch," that is.

MTV Movie Awards Host Jason Sudeikis Is The One Addiction That Jason Bateman Can't Quit

Posted 6/3/11 5:14 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Interviews, MTV Movie Awards, Video

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."

MTV Movie Awards Host Jason Sudeikis Aces Our Word Association Quiz

Posted 6/3/11 3:13 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Humor, Interviews, MTV Movie Awards, Video

Jason Sudeikis has been working plenty hard to prepare for this Sunday's MTV Movie Awards (9 p.m. ET, tune in!), so while he was taking a break from all that planning, MTV News caught up with the "Saturday Night Live" star for the umpteenth time in the past few days to check in on his progress.

MTV's Josh Horowitz decided to test Sudeikis' knowledge of some of the show's announced guests with a quick word association quiz, and the comedian passed with flying colors. But the best fun of these types of quizzes is trying to figure out how the person got from "Justin Bieber" to, say, "lefty." Don't let your mind go to the gutter, Sudeikis said it's because the crooning young pop star plays with his left hand in basketball.

We've come up with our own explanations behind Sudeikis' word associations after the jump, and feel free to share your own in the comments section below or on Twitter.

'Horrible Bosses' Stars Weigh In On Famous Bosses Donald Trump, Lorne Michaels And More

Posted 6/3/11 10:53 am EST by MTV Movies Team in Interviews, News, Video

by Ryan Downey

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].'"

Watch: Jason & Jason's Dirty Nicknames for Each Other [Wildly NSFW]

Posted 6/2/11 7:41 pm EST by MTV Movies Team in MTV Movie Awards

By Ryan Downey

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:

MTV Movie Awards Host Jason Sudeikis Explain 'Twilight' By Way Of 'Star Wars,' Hilarity Ensues

Posted 6/2/11 5:55 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Hot Stuff, Humor, MTV Movie Awards

If you had any doubts that this year's Movie Awards were going to be anything other than awesome, allow host Jason Sudeikis to put those fears to bed with one of the funniest "Twilight" explanations I've ever seen.

As far as I'm concerned, Sudeikis sold himself 100% during his appearance at last night's Sneak Peek Week presentation of "Horrible Bosses," his new comedy co-starring Jason Bateman. The topic of "Twilight" came up, as it inevitably does around this time of year, and Bateman confessed that he wasn't too familiar with the supernatural romance saga. Thankfully, Sudeikis was around to explain the series in a beautifully simple, astonishingly spot-on and wildly hilarious analogy: "Twilight" is just like "Star Wars."
