Bradley Cooper has portrayed a variety of sinful characters in his career but the Hangover star will embody pure evil next year when playing Lucifer in the 3-D adaptation of John Milton’s Paradise Lost . After premiering the first concept artwork for the film — which will be directed by Alex Proyas ( I, Robot , Knowing ) — at Comic-Con, Legendary has unleashed the teaser image onto the Internet. Click ahead to see what Cooper could look like as the Devil himself.
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is a nice little story about two women — or, rather, two sets of women living some 180 years apart — who vow “eternal commitment” and frequently stare at one another with dewy adoration. To invoke Pauline Kael’s review of Diane Kurys’s Entre Nous , it’s about two women not having a lesbian affair.
Or not — he’ll do the imagining for you: “I remember also wondering if I should go in for the Bradley Cooper role in Wedding Crashers . That’s actually one that I kick myself over as well. I mean, everything works out, and I’m happy with where I’m at… I’m probably being way more honest than I should in an interview.” [ VF. com ]
To the surprise of no one, The Hangover Part III continues to be a thing. “They want to do a Hangover III ,” Zach Galifianakis told Rolling Stone . “I’m getting fricking phone calls already.” Per the hirsute star, the third film would potentially revolve around Phil and Stu (Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms) breaking Galifianakis’ Alan out of a mental institution. Which, sure. What’s really interesting about the interview, however, is Galifianakis’ awkward encounter with Jane Lynch and Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
Stop the presses. Bradley Cooper may have been hanging out with Jennifer Aniston recently, but don’t get any ideas about the two becoming a couple. Not that we really did, but the celebrity gossip media has a field day with all things Aniston, so THG always feels the need to clarify what’s NOT true. Cooper, who split with girlfriend of nearly two years Renee Zellweger last month, reportedly got back in touch with Jen, who he was linked to in 2009. However, sources close to Cooper shot down any romance reports. “They were really only looking at projects to work on together,” a source said of The Hangover 2 star. “Bradley loves Jennifer, but just as a friend.” What’s holding him
The hits keep coming on Remake/Adaptation Tuesday, with a report that your new Crow has been found in the perennially sun-tanned, jovial, frat boy-friendly Bradley Cooper, which makes perfect sense… right ? I mean, who can’t picture the star of such nightmarish genre visions as Valentine’s Day and All About Steve as Eric Draven, the iconic rock star at the center of The Crow who rises from the ashes to avenge his lady’s murder in the role previously portrayed by the late Brandon Lee?
First full trailer shows return of Ken Jeong as Leslie Chow. By Eric Ditzian Ken Jeong in “The Hangover Part II” Photo: Warner Bros. Kanye West’s “Dark Fantasy” playing during the trailer’s opening moments tells you everything you need to know about “The Hangover Part II”: “Can we get much higher?” Apparently we can. At least Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) can as they drop into Thailand — or “Thigh-land,” as Alan calls it — for Stu’s destination wedding. The “Hangover Part II” teaser trailer gave us a taste of the sort of madness the sequel to 2009’s blockbuster comedy would deliver. But the first full trailer, which popped up online Thursday evening, gives us a more robust — and occasionally more raunchy — idea of exactly how these three jokers once again end up effed up and racing to get back to their loved ones. Here are our picks for the five key moments from the trailer. The Worst Rehearsal-Dinner Speech Ever Stu should know that as soon as Alan gets up to give a speech in front of friends and family, things are not going to go well. No sooner does Alan say he can never speak of what happened in Las Vegas (during the events of the original film) then he proceeds to do just that. “This is not Stu’s first marriage. There was a whore in Las Vegas a couple of …,” he declares before being cut off. Besides being highly inappropriate and pretty darn funny, the speech lets us know that the storyline of the sequel takes place a few years after Vegas, perhaps in real time following 2009’s “Hangover.” Teddy Is Bad News Stu’s bride-to-be comes up with one unfortunate idea when she suggests the guys go out for a drink and take her little brother Teddy along. Cut to the next morning and, once again, one seriously vicious post-party hangover. Teddy is missing. The boys have somehow landed in Bangkok. And Stu can’t return to his bride until he locates her bro. Is Teddy the one responsible for dosing them with drugs and kicking off their misadventure? Alan promises that, unlike last time, it wasn’t him. Teddy seems a likely culprit. Although there’s also … Leslie Chow?! As Phil says when they find him in their dive of a hotel room, “Chow, what are you doing here?” That’s a great question. Well, apparently he is Alan’s plus one, whatever that entails. And according to Chow himself, “We had a sick night, bitches!” Though the way in which he figures into the plot remains to be seen, it’s great to see 2010 MTV Movie Award winner Ken Jeong back in the mix. Stu, Unleashed Blink and you’ll miss it, but around the two-minute mark, we get a glimpse of Stu going buck-wild on what looks to be the streets of Bangkok. Is this a peek at what happens before the hangover sets in? Or perhaps Stu lets loose a second time? It’s impossible to tell when exactly this scene takes place, since the left side of his face — the one that bears a Mike Tyson-esque tattoo — is not revealed to the camera. Call PETA! Let’s just put this out there: Director Todd Phillips digs masturbation humor. In “Hangover,” he had Galifianakis take advantage of a baby. In “Due Date,” he had Galifianakis do unclean things to a dog. And now, it’s a monkey’s turn: After hiding a water bottle under a monk’s robes, he has the animal simulate, well, let Zack explain: “When a monkey nibbles on a weenus, it’s funny in any language.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
