The Switch trailer

I'm a big fan of Jennifer Aniston - I mean, seriously, I'm a fan of all six of the former Friends, no matter what - but I really wish she'd make a decent movie. I don't know what the problem is. She's funny, she's pretty, she's basically perfect for rom-coms, so why is it that every one that she picks seems...terrible? Though, I have to hold out hope that maybe the trailer is the problem on this one (and maybe the title, though it's better than "The Baster", which was its original title) because the rest of the cast is stellar. Jason Bateman makes very good choices most of the time, Juliette Lewis has been great in supporting roles lately, Jeff Goldblum is forever awesome, and Patrick Wilson is wonderful.

Maybe what it is is that Jennifer Aniston is better on TV than in the movies.

Up In the Air teaser trailer

LOVE.

Couples Retreat trailer

Starring Jason Bateman, Kristen Bell, Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau and Malin Amick. It could be cute. As cute as, like, Four Christmases was, or whatever.

From the director of Office Space

Extract, starring a bunch of people I love a lot: Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck, Mila Kunis, Kristen Wiig and JK Simmons, as well as some others. Looks pretty funny.

Good grief.

Apparently Jeffrey Tambor's comments at the Hellboy 2 premiere were premature. According to Jason Bateman, not only is there not a deal, but there's not a script.

Oh and "They are trying to decide if they can make it for the money they need," quips star Jason Bateman. "Michael Cera is a huge star now...with a huge star attitude to go with it. His salary will probably be the holdup." (from EW.com)

It's not all about Will Smith, dammit!

Bateman and Cross on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, who was nice enough to bring up the Arrested Development movie amidst all of his kissing of Will Smith's ass.

Bateman confirms Arrested Development movie?!

If this is true, I will be a happy, happy girl. Also, I might need to go see Hancock. Dammit.

Illusions, Michael.

It worries me whenever anyone I love gets involved with Fox TV, especially people who have worked for them and been burned, like Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillion (Fillion was twice burned). Well, I can add Jason Bateman to the list, as he has signed an exclusive First-Look deal with Fox, which means they get the first look at anything he wants to do under his production label.

If they fuck him over, I will send my minions to hurt them. (Amanda, this means you.)
