Rebecca Black’s Film Debut Sunday Comes Afterwards: A Musical Armageddon

Already sick of next year’s April Fools’ Day? Renew your faith with this Funny or Die preview for Rebecca Black’s “Friday” film adaptation, Sunday Comes Afterwards , which sounds like a delightful Tennessee Williams tale. Unfortunately, it’s an apocalyptic thriller. The lack of Auto-Tune during Rebecca’s triumphant call of “I don’t want this world to ennnnnd ” is a cinematic touchstone for the ages.

Josh Hutcherson: ‘Everybody Has Roles They Wanted and Didn’t Get’

What a difference a few months make. When we profiled Josh Hutcherson in The Verge last August , he was a promising young actor in two low-profile films that failed to do much business. This year, though, his career has taken off with a bang: not only was he heavily considered to play the title character in the reboot of Spider-Man , but the 17-year-old has supplanted Brendan Fraser as the star of their franchise, Journey to the Center of the Earth . And then there’s Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are All Right : as Laser, the young son who spurs his mothers (Annette Bening and Julianne Moore) to meet the sperm donor who fathered him, Hutcherson turns in a winning performance in one of the best films of the year. Last month, I sat down with the up-and-comer to discuss how shocked he was that people found Kids to be a comedy, what exactly is going on with the troubled remake of Red Dawn , and how he feels when he loses out on a major role (in what turned out to be a prescient conversation).

Spider-Man Is THISCLOSE To Picking Its New Peter Parker

According to Movieline sister site Deadline, Sony executives are reportedly closing in on picking their new Spider-Man , and on Friday viewed the screen-tests of the lucky final few. Can you feel the excitement? Once selected, the newly-crowned wall-crawler will begin production before year’s end on the film, scheduled for July 2, 2012. Director Marc Webb is working off a script from James Vanderbilt — whose script previous Spider-Man director Sam Raimi reportedly did not like but Sony thought was A-OK for them. The new Spidey will be filmed in glorious (read: we can charge you suckers an extra 7 bucks) 3D. So, which actors made it through to the swimsuit competition that is the screen test?

The Kids Are All Right Trailer: Annette and Julianne’s Modern Family

So, what are we to make of this new trailer advertising the film?
