A Red Band Featurette for Judd Apatow’s THIS IS 40
Below you can watch a new featurette for Judd Apatow’s upcoming comedy This Is 40, a “sort-of” sequel to Knocked Up. The movie as we know now picks up five years after the events of Knocked Up and will center on the relationship between Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann).
In the featurette, Apatow talks about why he decided to the characters back, also Mann and Rudd talk about the real-life problems facing their characters. I’ve heard a lot of positive things about the movie, it’s funny and touching the early screenings are getting from people, I look forward to checking this one out on December 21st.
New Trailer For Judd Apatow’s THIS IS 40 Starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann
A new trailer [here is the first one] for director Judd Apatow’s This Is 40 is here, it’s a follow up to Knocked Up. The movie follows Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann’s characters as they approach middle age. I expect some laughs and crude humor, as well as some sweet moments; it’s an Apatow movie after all. Albert Brooks plays Rudd’s father, now that’s something to see.
The movie also stars Megan Fox, Chris O’Dowd, Lena Dunham, Ryan Lee, Charlene Yi, Robert Smigel, Wyatt Russell, Melissa McCarthy, Jason Segel and John Lithgow.
This Is 40 opens on December 21st, watch the trailer below:
Trailer for Judd Apatow’s THIS IS 40
Here is the first trailer for Judd Apatow’s This Is 40, the “sort-of sequel” to Knocked Up. It takes a look at the lives of Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) a few years after the events of Knocked Up. There could be a great movie here, a dramedy of dealing with aging and adulthood is something Apatow should be good at as his body of work (Freaks and Geeks, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Funny People) has tackled it somewhat before.
This Is 40 opens on December 21st 2012.
Writer/director/producer Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Funny People) brings audiences This Is 40, an original comedy that expands upon the story of Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) from the blockbuster hit Knocked Up as we see firsthand how they are dealing with their current state of life.

Paul Reubens Updates Us On The Judd Apatow Pee Wee Movie
Paul Reubens sat down with The Hollywood Reporter and revealed the status of his upcoming project with Judd Apatow, we talked about it before but this seems like a real update.
Paul Rust and I just turned in a draft to Judd last week. He’s bringing such an interesting side to it. He’s constantly having us talk about and address the emotional core of Pee-wee Herman. It’s adding a dimension I never had before. Judd, if you’re reading this, I think it’s ready to green light!
It’s good to see Reubens getting excited about returning to the big screen, his HBO special “Pee-Wee Herman Show on Broadway” is up for an Emmy which shows he’s still got something people want to see I think. Thoughts?
A Pee-wee Herman Film By Judd Apatow, Yes Please
Pee-wee has been making a comeback for the past little while (video below), and Paul Reubens has been talking about making a few movies now for what seems like forever. Now we are getting somewhere…There’s word that one of these two films is being developed for Universal by Judd Apatow, with Reubens writing. Reubens said he wanted to do a more ‘adult’ oriented film and also a kid’s movie. So with Apatow at the helm, I’m thinking this may be the adult version.
Variety says that Apatow is working with Universal and Reubens to create “a road pic built around a gigantic adventure.” Apatow is only producing at this point, not directing. Here is some nice things they had to say about each other: (more…)
