The Freebie Trailer: Dax Shepard Has a Sexual Itch He Can’t Scratch

Humpday isn’t exactly the sort of movie that spawns a franchise, but here’s the closest thing: The Freebie , about a similar kind of mumblecore couple in comically sexual crisis. It’s even directed by — and starring — Katie Aselton, the wife of Humpday star Mark Duplass.

New Piranha 3D Video is Not Afraid to Take on the Oscars, After All

Last week, when a fairly funny “For Your Consideration” ad for Piranha 3D hit the internet and then promptly had several of its jokes snipped, some speculated that the Weinstein Co. was afraid of Oscar blowback (thought I’m guessing they realized the four-minute clip was just too damn long?).

Joss Whedon is Already Writing Deleted Scenes for The Avengers

Hey Joss Whedon, how’s that Avengers film coming along? “Right now I’m working on a movie that’s got enormous stipulations and is going to be changing and fluid every second,” he told the Sydney Morning Herald . “I’ve come up with dozens of scenes and lines and exchanges and monologues that I adore.” One problem, though: You’ll never see them, because Whedon still hasn’t moved beyond brainstorming. “But while I’m writing them they feed me, excite me and they ultimately inform the character,” he said. “It all goes in.” [ Sydney Morning Herald via Slashfilm ]

Movieline Graph: Does Michael Cera Really Play the Same Role in Every Movie?

When did it go wrong for Michael Cera? Once upon a time, he was the hippest comic actor in the room, yet to judge from the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World box office, the audience has turned on him. The most common complaint is that Cera too often plays himself (literally, in the case of Paper Heart ), so to judge that claim’s validity, Movieline has assembled a graph of Cera’s most frequent filmic characteristics.
