Zach Galifianakis, Will Ferrell And John C. Reilly Join 'Tim And Eric's Billion Dollar Movie'

Posted 3/3/11 1:07 pm EST by in News


Beaver BoysTim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim have taken over the small screen in their own unique, terrifying way in "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!," and now they're ready to turn that into a movie. A billion-dollar movie, to be exact.

According to The Wrap, Heidecker and Wareheim have teamed up with production companies Funny or Die, Gary Sanchez Productions and their own Abso Lutely Productions to create "Tim And Eric's Billion Dollar Movie," which starts principle photography on Friday. Even if you haven't heard of the two title leads, you probably have heard of their film's guest stars: Zach Galifianakis, Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Jeff Goldblum, Will Forte, Robert Loggia and William Atherton.

All of them except for the latter two have appeared on the show before, and there is nothing we would love more than for them to return to the film as our favorite of their "Tim and Eric" characters. After the jump we give you a quick refresher on everyone from Steve Brule to The Snuggler.

'2012' Director Roland Emmerich Wants A Sequel To 'Independence Day'

Posted 10/12/09 5:30 pm EST by in News


"Independence Day." Classic blockbuster. It wasn't "2012" director Roland Emmerich's big screen debut, but it's an epic-scale disaster flick that pulled no punches when it came to trashing the planet Earth. Nothing was safe when those aliens descended in their gigantic, city-spanning UFOs. Who can forget the iconic scene of the White House being blown to smithereens?

Released on July 3, 1996 and starring Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman, it's a bit of a surprise that the popular sci-fi flick has never seen a sequel. According to Emmerich, it's not for lack of desire. To hear him tell it, in an interview with Latino Review, there's a "very really good great story, a very cool one." Read More...

Jeff Goldblum, Still Alive And Doing Very Well

Posted 6/27/09 4:30 pm EST by in Photos


This past Thursday, shortly after Michael Jackson's untimely passing, a sick Internet rumor started that veteran actor Jeff Goldblum had died. His reps were quick to point out that the actor was, in fact, very much alive and well. For any of you doubting Thomases out there, here's photographic evidence of the actor's good health, taken just a couple weeks ago:

Of course, as many here in the MTV offices will attest to, Jeff Goldblum is king. He will always be David Cronenberg's original "Fly" of course, but I love him best for starring alongside a young Laurence Fishburne as a high-class drug dealer in "Deep Cover." And a designer drug dealer at that. In the honor of the fact that Jeff Goldblum still walks among us, I present to you this little photographic tour through his career. Read More...

Jeff GoldblumUPDATE: Check out our Jeff Goldblum photo gallery for some great shots of the actor throughout his career!

The last 24 hours have been about a week long in Twitter-Wood. After two unplanned updates with reactions to Michael Jackson's death, I'm back with some regularly scheduled programming.

First off, the best news of the last day is that Jeff Goldblum is not dead. Kevin Spacey set the record straight on his Twitter account, and several others reacted as that rumor brushfire was extinguished. We've also got Tom Felton continuing his commentary behind the scenes at "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows," Mandy Moore looking for someone to play "Battletech" with, and much more after the click.

Jeff Goldblum Reps Call Rumors Of Actor's Death Untrue

Posted 6/25/09 5:53 pm EST by in News


Contrary to some Internet reporters, actor Jeff Goldblum is alive and well. Earlier today, while news of Michael Jackson was still unfolding, various websites reported a second death in the entertainment industry: Jeff Goldblum, known for such roles as "The Fly" and "Independence Day."

In a statement to MTV News, the celebrity's reps called the news "crazy" and definitively labeled it as "not true." So in a day befallen with tragedy, at least one silver lining exists.

Jeff Goldblum Mulls 'Jurassic Park 4,' Open To Possible Return

Posted 10/20/08 11:23 am EST by in News


Jeff GoldblumSo Laura Dern is in. Sam Neill is out, as is Alessandro Nivola. But what about Dr. Ian Malcolm, Mr. Chaos Theory, the voice of reason himself: Jeff Goldblum? If there’s to be a “Jurassic Park IV,” will he be in it?

After all, his character survived a near-death on Isla Nublar in the first film to make an appearance in the second, and was even referenced in the third, which means … “Who knows?” laughed Goldblum when we caught up with him at the Director's Guild Honors.

“I don’t know about that,” Goldblum said. “I don’t know what the future holds. My plate is full right now [since joining the cast of ‘Law and Order: Criminal Intent’].”

But once Goldblum started reminiscing about working with Steven Spielberg, who directed the first two Jurassic Park films, produced the third, and is producing the fourth, the actor relented a bit. Read More...
