Watch The New Trailer For SING

MLUN_DS_S0200P0030-L-Compo_Render_0280[1]

Currently playing with the delightful THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS, check out the new trailer for Illumination Entertainment’s upcoming movie SING.

Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton and Tori Kelly star in an animated feature about finding the shining star that lives inside all of us.

Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, Sing stars Buster Moon (Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey), a dapper Koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times.  Buster is an eternal optimist—okay, maybe a bit of a scoundrel—who loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it.  Now facing the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.

Five lead contestants emerge: A mouse (Seth MacFarlane) who croons as smoothly as he cons, a timid teenage elephant (Tori Kelly) with an enormous case of stage fright, an overtaxed mother (Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon) run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets, a young gangster gorilla (Taron Egerton) looking to break free of his family’s felonies, and a punk-rock porcupine (Scarlett Johansson) struggling to shed her arrogant boyfriend and go solo.  Each animal arrives under Buster’s marquee believing that this is their shot to change the course of their life.

ADULT BEGINNERS Trailer Features Rose Byrne, Nick Kroll And Bobby Cannavale

adult beginners

A young, hipster entrepreneur (Nick Kroll) crashes and burns on the eve of his company’s big launch. With his entire life in disarray, he leaves Manhattan to move in with his estranged pregnant sister (Rose Byrne), brother-in-law (Bobby Cannavale) and three year-old nephew in the suburbs — only to become their manny. Faced with real responsibility, he may finally have to grow up — but not without some bad behavior first.

From director Ross Katz, here’s the new trailer for ADULT BEGINNERS.

Katz made his directorial debut with the HBO film “Taking Chance.” Beginning as a film producer, the ADULT BEGINNERS director said, “My dream came true when a script called “Brother’s Keeper” (now titled “Adult Beginners”) landed on my desk. Written by the brilliant Liz Flahive and Jeff Cox, with a story originated by comedian and actor Nick Kroll, I was absolutely blown away as I tore through the script. I wanted to make a comedy, but not just a comedy – a comedy that had real drama and an enormous amount of heart. That’s exactly what I found in this script.

Not only was the script extraordinary, but I was in the lucky position of having three of the most versatile leading actors already attached to the script: Rose Byrne, Nick Kroll (also a producer), and Bobby Cannavale. These three actors are a gift for a director…they were each stunningly versatile in helping balance the comedy and the drama and the heart. There is no greater joy for a director than working with accomplished actors, and these three often stepped out of their comfort zones to find their characters.”

The film also stars Paula Garces, Jane Krakowski, Joel McHale, Bobby Moynihan, Mike Birbiglia and Josh Charles.

ADULT BEGINNERS opens in theaters and VOD April 24.

Ed Helms, Kevin Hart To Headline Voice Cast for DreamWorks Animation’s CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS Movie

0-590-84628-0

Some real-life comedy superheroes – Ed Helms, Kevin Hart, Thomas Middleditch, Nick Kroll and Jordan Peele – are joining forces in DreamWorks Animations upcoming feature film, CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS.  These award-winning voice talents will help Captain Underpants once again save the day as everyone’s favorite waistband warrior takes to the big screen for some seriously comedic crime fighting action.

“These actors are some of the funniest around today,” said director, Rob Letterman (Monsters vs. Aliens, Gulliver’s Travel).  “Letting them loose with these characters is sure to be a hysterical ride.”

Captain Underpants is based on Dav Pilkey’s popular book series and centers around two scheming fourth graders, George Beard (Kevin Hart) and Harold Hutchins (Thomas Middleditch) whose personal missions are to play pranks, hide in their secret treehouse and write comic books.  But when they accidentally bring their favorite comic book character, Captain Underpants, to life through a hypnosis accident involving their megalomaniacal principal Mr. Krupp (Ed Helms), their elementary school life becomes anything but elementary.  Rounding out the cast will be Jordan Peele who will voice Melvin, the nerdy nemesis of George and Harold, and Nick Kroll as the insidious villain, Professor Poopypants.

Since 1997, 10 Captain Underpants books have been released in over 20 languages with over 70 million books in print worldwide.  The series has debuted at No. 1 on various best seller lists including The New York Times, USA Today andPublisher’s Weekly.  Three more books are planned through 2016.

Nick Stoller (The Muppets) is on board to pen the script and Damon Ross will oversee the film for the studio.
