Kristen WiigYou've been to Disney World, ridden all the rides at Six Flags. The staff at Universal City know you by name. So where's an intrepid, theme park enthusiast to go next? Why, to "Adventureland," of course, the new amusement destination featured in director Greg Mottola's "Superbad" follow-up.

Just make sure you bring a copy of your life insurance, joked co-star Kristen Wiig.

"A lot of times towns will have the really great amusement park," she smiled. "And then they'll have the kind of scary one where you really don't want to go on the rides because you're afraid you might be killed. Read More...

John C. Reilly in 'Walk Hard'If taglines are any indication of how funny a movie will be, than you might want to start counting down the days until "Walk Hard," whose new poster brags: "Life made him tough/Love made him strong/Music made him hard."

"It's pretty breezy and quick, but it'll feel like a large meal hopefully," director Jake Kasden ("Zero Effect") told us this week about his latest cut of the upcoming biopic spoof. "It's not that long. A little over an hour and a half. Apatow likes the two hour comedies, but I like them 90 minutes, so it'll be somewhere in between."

Judging by the hilarious trailer (watch it at the bottom) -- and a plot that has John C. Reilly playing a Johnny Cash-like rocker opposite Jenna Fischer, Kristen Wiig and Paul Rudd -- we say give Mr. Apatow whatever he wants. "We're doing a couple of pick-up days," Kasden said of some recent re-shoots. "We're rounding it out, filling in some holes." Read More...

Not since Mel Brooks in the late 60's/early 70's has a comedic writer/director/producer been on a roll quite like what Judd Apatow is engineering at this present time. Between "The 40 Year Old Virgin" and "Talladega Nights", next month's hilarious "Knocked Up" and the outrageous August sleeper "Superbad", everything this guy touches is turning into an instant classic. That's why we were psyched to get some exclusive news on the music for "Walk Hard", a recently-wrapped biopic spoof featuring "The Office" star Jenna Fischer and a "Talladega" shake-and-baker.

"I just shot a movie with John C. Reilly, that I wrote with Jake Kasdan, who directed the movie," Apatow said of the flick he's producing with the critically-beloved "Zero Effect" director behind the camera. "It's called 'Walk Hard,' and it's a goof on movies like 'Ray' and 'Walk the Line'. [Reilly] plays Dewey Cox, who has had a very long career, and has been addicted to many drugs and gone to rehab many times." Read More...
