Judd Apatow Planning Another Knocked Up Sequel Based Around His DaughtersYou can poke fun at Judd Apatow all you want for continuing to cast his daughters in his movies-- he's still not gonna stop. In fact, he's considering making it a full trilogy of films in which Iris and Maude play the same characters, who started out as cherubic kids in Knocked Up...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-02-01 11:57:03comments
Paul Rudd, Jason Segel And More Can't Keep It Together In This Is 40 Blooper ReelI can't even imagine how hard it must be keeping a straight face on the set of a Judd Apatow movie. The writer/director regularly brings together the funniest people acting in movies today and not only does he give them funny scripts to work from, he also lets them improvise and make the material the best it can be. And as professional as the stars are, it's totally understandable that they would occasionally break down and just start guffawing....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-01-18 15:23:26comments
Jason Segel And Chris O'Dowd Try To Impress Megan Fox In This Is 40 Extended SceneTo promote his Knocked-Up spin-off This is 40, Apatow has been unveiling a steady stream of deleted scenes.

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Wants To Make Some Violent Music In Deleted This Is 40 ClipJudd Apatow has included at least one celebrity cameo in all of the films he has directed since Knocked Up, and his latest, This is 40, is no different. At one point in the movie some of the characters are at a concert when Billy Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day, makes an appearance. Armstrong does get a few lines in the movie, but the truth is that he was originally in it for a lot longer - but now that deleted scene has arrived online....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-12-28 15:20:40comments
Watch A Five Minute Deleted Scene From This Is 40Judd Apatow doesn't make short movies. His the first film he directed, The 40 Year Old Virgin, clocks in at an hour and 56 minutes long - and that's his shortest one to date. His latest, This is 40 - which came into theaters this past weekend, doesn't break the trend that Apatow has started either, and is a full two hours and 14 minutes long....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-12-26 22:37:22comments
Les Miserables, Django Unchained And The Hobbit Lead The Pack At The Christmas Box OfficeTis the season to hear the people sing, as evidenced by the numbers being reported for the anticipated box office take for Les Miserables, which arrived in theaters yesterday for its Christmas release. Tom Hooper's adaptation of the popular stage musical isn't the only film with cause to celebrate. Django Unchained and The Hobbit also did well. ...by Kelly West | published: 2012-12-26 07:42:44comments
Weekend Box Office: New Movies Get Stockings Full of CoalWith Christmas right around the corner and American audiences perhaps slightly more distracted by the specter of having just one weekend left to finish getting those last minute gifts, movie theaters were relatively quiet. That left four new arrivals with stockings full of coal at the pre-holiday box office....by Scott Gwin | published: 2012-12-23 22:20:33comments
Judd Apatow Defends An Unfortunate Child-Murder Joke In This Is 40Often, this job means analyzing the moments when current events affect pop-culture, and vice versa. This week, because of the tragic shooting in Connecticut, Hollywood has two unfortunate and unforeseen instances where films heading to theaters are going to address gun violence and murder, and one of the directors is taking a bold step to address the issue before it becomes a controversy. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2012-12-20 18:13:36comments
This Is 40's Judd Apatow On Taking Stock And Making Life Work BetterIt’s hard to slap a two sentence logline on Judd Apatow’s This is 40. Rather than being about a specific crisis or conflict, the style is instead more free flowing, the film working to encapsulate what it means to be 40 years old with a family in the modern world. And that’s no accident: Apatow wants you to feel what it’s like to spend a week in the life with his characters....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-12-20 13:03:58comments
Christmas Movie Guide: How To Choose Between Jack Reacher, Django Unchained And MoreGoing to the movies on Christmas Day is usually thought of as a tradition for Jews, or anybody else not celebrating the holiday who's got the day off. But really, no matter how you're spending the holiday, there's probably going to be a time that you want to get out of the house and away from the family or friends you've gathered with-- or maybe you want to take them with you, but just get to a place where you don't have to talk to them much. ...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-12-18 20:12:33comments

This Is 40 Red Band Trailer Has Paul Rudd's Pete Showing Himself OffOne of Pete and Debbie's most memorable moments in Knocked Up was when Pete casually asks his wife if she's up for sex, while the two of them are getting ready for bed, to which she responds with a grunt and the admission that she's "just really constipated." The scene showcases the humor in the reality of marriage for many of the more candid couples. And it's this scene that's used at the start of the new Red Band trailer for This is 40. ...by Kelly West | published: 2012-12-10 11:21:24comments
Megan Fox Flaunts Her Stuff Before Paul Rudd In This Is 40 ClipFrom the looks of this clip, Fox has been cast to serve a similar purpose to hers in Friends With Kids, where her youth, flexibility, and perky breasts became a point of envy to the comedy's older female lead. In the red band featurette, Leslie Mann's age-fearing Debbie full-on feels up Fox over these anxieties. And here we see how the dudes react, which is to say predictably by gawking. ...by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-12-06 07:41:48comments
Leslie Mann Threatens Paul Rudd's Life In This Is 40 ClipPaul Rudd and Apatow's real-life wife Leslie Mann reprise their roles as this fiercely funny and frequently feuding pair. The film's first trailer gave us a hint to the marital mayhem the movie has to offer, and a behind-the-scenes clip offered a look at the return of Jason Segel's flirtatious physical trainer. Now the newly released clip delivers one of the couple's more intimate moments. ...by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-12-05 12:14:17comments
Jason Segel Gets The Giggles In New This Is 40 FeaturetteThough Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann are the main focus of This is 40, which writer-director Judd Apatow is calling a sort-of sequel to Knocked Up, one more character from that movie will be making a return appearance. From what we know there's no sign of his old roommate Ben, played by Seth Rogen, but Jason Segel's character "Jason" will be returning...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-11-26 13:28:34comments
This Is 40 Red-Band Featurette: Real Life, Up Close And Way Too PersonalJudd Apatow's This is 40 could be one of the funniest commies of the holiday season-- or the most uncomfortably personal movie this side of, well, Apatow's last movie Funny People. The writer-director has always been known for drawing from his real life for his movies, but This is 40 probably crosses a new line...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-11-19 12:23:00comments
Paul Rudd And Leslie Mann Relax Among Chaos In New This Is 40 PosterSince making his directorial debut back in 2005, Judd Apatow has really matured as a filmmaker - and you don't really have to look further than the plots of his movies to see it. His first, The 40 Year Old Virgin, was smart and clever, but also featured themes about growing up (even if the entire movie was about a group of fully grown men)......by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-11-16 14:43:24comments
This Is 40 TV Spot Reminds Us It's A Sort Of Sequel To Knocked UpIt’s a shame to waste half a 30 second spot on old footage - especially since we see none of the great supporting cast including Albert Brooks, Melissa McCarthy and Chris O’Dowd - but it’s probably not a bad idea to remind audiences that This is 40 is a continuation of the Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann sub-plot from the writer/director’s hugely successful comedy starring Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl....by Jesse Carp | published: 2012-09-26 17:45:33comments
Judd Apatow's This Is 40 Debuts Endearing New TrailerJudd Apatow is calling it the "sort-of-sequel to Knocked Up," but we're just calling it one of the easiest movies to look forward to at the end of this year. This Is 40, Apatow's first film since Funny People, is coming to theaters December 21, and now a new trailer has dropped over at Yahoo! Movies...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-08-07 11:18:01comments
This Is 40 Poster Shows Married Life In The BathroomOne of my absolute favorite moments in Knocked Up is a brief scene between Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, which takes place in the bathroom and has Rudd putting the offer of sex on the table, to which Mann responds with a grunt and an announcement that she's constipated. It's honest and funny and a little bit disturbing all at once. The poster for Judd Apatow's This is Forty seems to revisit that scene in a slightly graphic way. ...by Kelly West | published: 2012-05-08 10:40:46comments
This Is 40 Trailer Tackles Aging, Apatow StyleDescribed as the “sort-of sequel to Knocked Up,” the movie features the sort-of happily married couple Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann played in that comedy, only they are approaching the Big 4-0 and re-evaluating all of the decisions they made over the course of their relationship....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2012-04-27 12:23:55comments
This Is 40, Les Miserables And More Teased By Universal At CinemaConA few hours ago I published my recap of the Bourne Legacy footage shown today during the Universal Pictures presentation at CinemaCon, but that was far from the only movie that the studio had on display at the convention. Over the course of two hours they showed off footage from every single film that remains on their 2012 calendar and beyond, including outrageous comedies and Oscar-hopeful dramas. And I’m here to tell you about them....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-04-26 21:20:36comments
