Eddie Murphy and MST3K alum want you to Meet Dave
Posted by Jennifer
April 11th, 2008 at 7:24 pm

Have you ever meet someone and been like, oh my God, that person is so incredibly awkward, they can’t actually be a person, they must be a spaceship disguised as a person? And then you think for a second and you’re like, whoa, that would make a lot of sense except, like, who’s ever heard of a spaceship disguised as a person?

If you’re like us and this happens to you at least three or four times a week—or, more realistically, if you just happen to be an 8- to 12-year-old or a parent of one—Eddie Murphy’s upcoming film Meet Dave will definitely be of interest to you.

Murphy stars as Dave, a fellow who dresses oddly, has trouble talking to women, jaywalks, kicks cats, can’t dance, doesn’t know how to shake hands and sings really funny. But unlike everyone you know who fits that description, Dave has an excuse: He actually is a spaceship. A spaceship that looks like a human being. A spaceship manned by a crew of aliens (Gabrielle Union, Ed Helms, an inexplicably British-accented Murphy, and others) as zany as they are tiny. A spaceship that falls in love with an Earth chick (Elizabeth Banks) after she hits him with her car.

See? It could happen!

Currently slated for a July 11 release, Meet Dave (née Starship Dave) was penned by Mystery Science Theater 3000 scribe Bill Corbett and longtime television writer/producer/director Rob Greenberg (Frasier, How I Met Your Mother)—which is actually the impetus for us writing about this film in the first place. We’re thinking their involvement will certainly liven up what could’ve otherwise been another mundane summer movie.

Watch the trailer:

Might we suggest that Corbett and fellow MST3K alums Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy give Dave one of their hilarious RiffTrax treatments? Why yes, we certainly might.

“W.” To Start Filming Apil 21st
Posted by Jennifer
April 9th, 2008 at 8:24 pm

The New Republic is reporting that W. will begin production on April 21st. Earlier reports are stating that the film will be shot in Louisiana. You can check out the complete article below.

W, the highly-anticipated Oliver Stone biopic on America’s 43rd president, has been making a slow march toward its April 21st production start date. Josh Brolin (a dead ringer who can act!) has been slated to play Dubya for months, but in recent weeks, producers have continued to flesh out the cast list. Ellen Burstyn and James Cromwell, of Requiem for a Dream and Babe, respectively, are slated to play Barbara and George H.W. Bush. Thandie Newton of Crash and Elizabeth Banks of…uh…will play Condi Rice and Laura Bush. (First thoughts: too hot!) Welshman Iaon Gruffudd is in talks to play Tony Blair, and Jeffrey Wright is being floated as Colin Powell.

ABC News and Politico, both apparently in possession of a draft copy of the screenplay, offered separate rundowns last week of the father-son dynamic that has filled pop psychology regarding Bush 43. Key scenes include the drumbeat to war in 2002, the “Mission Accomplished” landing in 2003, as well as the softer side: college-age W guzzling garbage-pail vodka; leader-of-the-free-world-age W choking on a pretzel. The tendentious Stone summed up his film in one sweep: “How did Bush go from being an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?”

Of course, the Hollywood treatment could detract from the film’s political credibility. (Judge/read the first page of the script yourself here [pdf].) But in the end, its success rests squarely with the talent. So, Talkbackers: Who are your picks for the rest of the Bush gang (Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rove, Powell, Chalabi, Miers–Perino)? I nominate this guy for VP.

Rob Corddry Is Your New White House Press Secretary
Posted by Jennifer
April 9th, 2008 at 8:21 pm

As Oliver Stone casts more and more beautiful people in his George W. biopic W, and as rumors fly that the script is even more insane than you could imagine, it seems Stone might be aiming more for a comedy than a straight-up drama. And now that he’s cast the revered actor who will play Bush’s press secretary Ari Fleischer, it’s all but certain that there’s some funny business going on. Because the guy playing Fleischer is Daily Show correspondent and comedy sidekick Rob Corddry. Yes, in an Oliver Stone movie, a guy who had a bit part in Semi-Pro will play a major role.

Seriously, is MTV News just punking us? Is this an April Fool’s Joke that just got left out in the rain? Because casting hotter-than-hot Elizabeth Banks as dowdy automaton Laura Bush is weird, casting hotter-than-hot Thandie Newton as cruel-and-calculating Condoleeza Rice is even weirder, but throwing Rob Corddry into the mix makes this the weirdest cast since, like, The Towering Inferno (and, guys, that movie had both Fred Astaire and O.J. Simpson in it).

Yeah, sure, Corddry could be this amazing dramatic actor that none of us know about. It’s possible. But when you’re a guy who’s just getting started in a comedy career, why would you star in a movie about a President no one likes? And why play a guy who helped convince journalists that the President no one likes was leading us into a war that was worth fighting? OK, OK, I know I shouldn’t be getting into politics, but I’m just that confused.

FYI, the roles of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove have yet to be cast. Since they’re virtually identical fat white men, and there’s only a few fat white men in Hollywood to choose from, let’s start predicting. Alec Baldwin could gain weight! John Goodman could lose weight! Hell, Sarah Silverman could play Cheney with the right prosthetics. With Corddry in the mix, anything is possible. You too could play a neo-con!
