Win Tickets To An Advance Screening For TRAINWRECK  on July 14th at 7:00 PM in Sacramento. No contemporary filmmaker has chronicled the messy human experience with the eye and ear of a comedic cultural anthropologist like Judd Apatow . Hits as varied as those he’s directed, like Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin , and those he’s produced, like Superbad and Bridesmaids , are all unified by their honest, unflinching, comic look at how complicated it is to grow up in the modern world. Apatow again brings a portrait of an unforgettable character, and a portrayal by a breakout new comedy star, together in Trainwreck, written by and starring Amy Schumer (Inside Amy Schumer) as a woman who lives her life without apologies, even when maybe she should apologize. Since she was a little girl, it’s been drilled into Amy’s ( Schumer ) head by her rascal of a dad ( Colin Quinn ) that monogamy isn’t realistic. Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by that credo—enjoying what she feels is a

Variety is reporting that Marisa Tomei is the choice to play Aunt May in the next installment of the “Spider-Man” franchise. Sony and Marvel had no comment on the casting. While insiders could not say where things stood in the deal-making process, they said an offer was made late last week for the Oscar-winning actress to join Tom Holland , who was recently tapped to play the webslinging superhero. Marvel and Sony recently hand-picked Holland to play Spider-Man after months of meetings and screen tests with eager young actors, in addition to selecting “Cop Car” helmer Jon Watts to direct the pic. The studios are still in the process of finding a writer to join Watts in the screenwriting process, but insiders explained that the top brass also wanted to lock down other actors who would appear in multiple films so schedules could be worked out before shooting commences next year. Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal will produce the pic, and though Holland is expected to first appear in

THR is reporting that Disney is continuing its push into live-action fairy tales, closing a deal for a feature project centering on Prince Charming . Matt Fogel wrote the script, while David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman of Mandeville Films/TV as well as Tripp Vinson are on board to produce. Disney pioneered the recent and lucrative trend of taking either old animated classics or fairy tales and spinning them into live-action features. And since no other studio has done more to ensconce the idea of Prince Charming into the public mind — with movies such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella — it is most appropriate the studio take a close look at the man as well. Details are being kept behind a moat, but the script is described as a revisionist take on the fairy tales. Mandeville's Alex Young will executive produce. Mandeville is production on Disney’s live-action take of its 1991 classic Beauty and the Beast that stars Emma Watson and Da

The barrage of posters and other imagery for the final entry in the Hunger Games series, Mockingjay – Part 2 , continues. With a new burst just a couple of days ago , here comes a motion poster featuring Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen, and another, more standard (but no less stylish image) of her the white throne that has become a familiar icon of the final two movies’ ads. Following on from the first Mockingjay, the second part of the story finds Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) and the rebels making the final push against Donald Sutherland's scheming President Snow and the Capitol, with lives on the line and sacrifices to be made. The new movie should boost the action quotient as the bigger beats are to be found lurking towards the end of Suzanne Collins’ third tome. With Francis Lawrence again directing and his namesake joined on screen by Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Julianne Moore, Sam Claflin, Elizabeth Banks, Willow Shields, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, Jena
