Oh the summer nights, right? Exactly—not the greatest time to see movies. And with Wall•E already a distant memory and The Dark Knight just around the corner, we’re all looking at a dearth of cinematic treasures this weekend. Time for the first of an indeterminate numbered series.
- Ladies, be prepared to swoon: Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen will team up in a yet-to-be-titled Sherlock Holmes and Watson (respectively) film. It’ll be directed by Etan Cohen, a man perpetually an H away from an Academy Award, and Judd Apatow has signed on to produce. I can’t decide whether this is terrible news for Ferrell’s career, or terrible news for Ferrell’s and Cohen’s careers.
- Speaking of curly hair, the theme song of Pineapple Express is up on Lakeshore Records’ MySpace page. It’s sung by Huey Lewis, and is, without a doubt, incredible. More than Rogen deserves.
- Speaking of shameless marketing, remember Hellboy? Well, he’s apparently a real person, as he appeared on Inside the Actor’s Studio. But he also spent some time with Chuck, who is a fictional character in an TV show that’s not currently on the air. Hmm…
- Speaking of leaps in logic, the trailer for a new movie called Fly Me to the Moon is in theaters now. See, these flies, they go to the moon. Read the title again. Then the last sentence. Get it? It’s in 3-D.
- Speaking of sensory overload, Guy Ritchie is going to be directing Sherlock Holmes in 2010, starring Robert Downey Jr. Wow, Sherlock Holmes…deja vú. (See what I did there?)
