Seize the Day: Take a Sneak Peek at the Newsies Musical

Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken felt so strongly about the idea of his Newsies readapted Broadway stage show that he decided to compose the show himself. You can’t blame the guy — who doesn’t love the Burbank-y New York of Newsies , the ’92 Disney flop about an old-timey newsboy strike? In footage from the new show, we hear from Menken, the show’s writer Harvey Fierstein, and the actors hawkin’ papes.

Trailer: Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Shannon Play Good Bike Messenger, Bad Cop in Premium Rush

Take it from Jennifer Aniston — working as a New York City bike messenger is neither glamorous nor exciting. Unless you’re Joseph Gordon-Levitt in David Koepp’s upcoming bike messenger thriller Premium Rush , in which case transporting packages across town is a fast-paced career option with hot co-workers, adrenaline rushes and the occasional highly dangerous assignment.

Seth Rogen and Will Reiser on 50/50 and How Life Sometimes Needs a Rewrite

They say to write what you know. Unfortunately, in the case of screenwriter Will Reiser, what he knew was cancer. Six years ago, Reiser was diagnosed with cancer in his back, and — after surgery to remove the tumor — decided to handle the life-changing situation the only way he knew how: by finding the humor. Thus, 50/50 was born.

In the upcoming dramedy 50/50 , 27-year-old Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) finds out he has a cancerous tumor growing in his back, and proceeds to tell his best friend Kyle (Seth Rogen) outside a coffee shop.

Hesher Poster Looks Like a New Metal Album Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Natalie Portman

Hesher has now played Sundance 2010 and SXSW 2011, and it’s still not entirely clear when we’ll get to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt play a pyromaniac nihilist who reunites a family for ourselves. The official site still just says “coming soon,” while Imdb lists the release date as April 2011. That’s pretty much right now, so I guess we’ll see. In meantime though, we’ve got an appropriately ragged and sleazy final poster. It appears that Metallica not only let the film use their music, but also their logo. Throw the devil-sign in the air and click through to check it out.

Forget It, Jake; It’s Chinatown: Watch A Rapid-Fire Montage Of Movie Titles Said In Movies

One of my favorite running jokes in Mystery Science Theater 3000 is when one of the characters would say the name of the crappy movie they’re in and the bots would wildly exclaim, “And we’ve got a title!” Well, some enterprising soul has gone one better and cobbled together 81 movies that say their 81 titles in just two minutes. But color me shocked that the above-mentioned “Forget it, Jake; it’s Chinatown.” didn’t make the cut. C’mon, man! Space Chimps gets the nod but Jake Gittes gets left out in the cold? Are there any of your favorites that didn’t make the montage? [ HaveYouSeenThis? via Vulture ]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt And Rainn Wilson Not Very Happy With This Fake Hesher Trailer

A trailer for the upcoming Natalie Portman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Rainn Wilson flick Hesher has been making the rounds online, and Levitt and Wilson are none too happy. It appears this new trailer is not in fact from the studio or producers and, according to the stars, completely misrepresents the movie. On the bright side, at least people are talking about the flick that premiered over a year ago.
