"I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing."

Hollywood Elsewhere got hold of the photos below of James Franco on the set of the currently-shooting Allen Ginsberg biopic (Ginsberg is in the above photo). Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman are co-directing and co-writing the drama, which is mainly be about the obscenity trial that followed the 1957 publication of Ginsberg's Howl.
When I first heard about this I didn't think Franco had the right look to play Ginsberg, but looks like I was wrong. Should be a very interesting film.
The film also stars David Strathairn, Alan Alda, Jeff Daniels, Mary-Louise Parker and Paul Rudd.
The Watchmen haven't been acting like heroes lately. In fact, they've mostly been sitting around their Los Angeles apartment watching TV. They're the closest of friends, but when nuclear Armageddon threatens, can they put joking aside, face adulthood, and save the world? Starring Paul Rudd as Dr. Manhattan, Seth Rogen as Nite Owl, Jonah Hill as Rorschach, and Michael Cera as the Comedian. Kristen Wiig appears in a nonspeaking role as Silk Spectre.Slate.com have other What If...? scenarious for Watchmen including Woody Allen and Tyler Perry.
JONAH HILL, PAUL RUDD, SETH ROGEN, and JASON SEGEL, The Pretty Young ThingsAfter appearing in Knocked Up and/or The 40-Year-Old Virgin, this quartet can now be considered summa cum laude graduates of the Judd Apatow school of comedy. Unlike so many comedy stars of the last two decades, they—and the other funny people depicted on the following pages—seem at their best when they work not as soloists but as part of a tightly knit ensemble. Say good-bye to the laughter of alienation and hello to a brand of comedy that fosters a feeling of community. Rather than dominate a crowd, they conspire with the people in the audience. Their strength lies in their charm. Even Rogen. Photographed by Annie Leibovitz on Stage 28 at Paramount Pictures Studio Lot, Los Angeles.

This review by the Critical Critics - they've got a great site.
I can’t help but think I’ve seen Role Models before. My reasons for thinking this isn’t because I’ve actually seen the movie before. It’s because the cast of this idiotic buddy film is the same as every other crude, idiotic comedy in the last few years (thanks for that, Judd Apatow). After awhile, all these movies just start to blend into one another . . .
Seann William Scott basically reprises his American Pie role of Stifler, just with a name change. He’s now Wheeler, a live for the moment, obsessed with boobs guy who loves his dead-end job as the mascot for Minotaur energy drink. Paul Rudd roughly redresses all his latest characters as Danny, Wheeler’s best friend and coworker, and a guy stuck spinning his wheels in the proverbial mud of life. When Danny’s girlfriend Beth (Elizabeth Banks) dumps him, he spirals further into the abyss, dragging Wheeler with him — they lose their job and very nearly their freedom. Luckily, Beth is an attorney and she manages to get their 30 day jail sentence reduced to 150 hours of community service working at a Big Brother type organization — Sturdy Wings.
Wheeler is paired with an out of control 10-year old boy named Ronnie (Bobb’e J. Thompson), who curses like a gypsy and has his own obsession with boobies. Danny gets handed Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), a hopelessly dorky teenager obsessed with L.A.I.R.E. — a real-world recreation of Dungeons & Dragons — complete with foam swords and fanciful medieval wardrobes.
Armed with these scenarios and the demented stylings of Jane Lynch (she plays Gayle Sweeny, founder of Sturdy Wings), the writing team of Paul Rudd, David Wain, Ken Marino and Timothy Dowling were easily able to churn out mostly funny situations that required little thought on their part. After all, it never gets old watching a miserable guy try and understand a kid in a cape running around pretending to be a great knight. It gets even better when we see there are hundreds of people like this — all of them taking their fantasy pastime way too seriously (I especially got a kick out of King Argotron (Ken Jeong)). What does get old though is the constant barrage of cursing coming from little Ronnie. Initially the shock and awe of hearing a child curse so much was good for a laugh or two but the humor quickly drains away; it eventually led to my asking, “Why doesn’t someone just smack this kid in the face already?”
It isn’t all just shits and giggles though — there is a heartwarming side to Role Models as well. It’s the formulaic case where the teachers learn from their students — Wheeler comes to the realization he’s got a lot in common with Ronnie and that when he abandoned him at a keg party, he reinforced Ronnie’s social problems brought on by his father leaving the house; Danny stops trying to change Augie, decides to remove the stick from his own ass and let loose going so far as to join Augie in the final battle for the crown of the realm.
You’ll find that there is nothing that breaks new ground in this comedy though — you’ve seen all that Role Models has to offer in one form or another in plenty of films. Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott do work well together but I firmly believe these guys can be paired with just about anybody and manage to make even the most nonsensical buddy film amusing. For me, I figure it’s probably a good time to start the infusion of some new blood into these comedy types before they become completely stale — it’s not quite there yet, but it is definitely on the horizon.
The cast of “Monsters vs. Aliens” includes: Oscar® winner Reese Witherspoon (”Walk the Line,” “Rendition”) as Susan Murphy, a.k.a. Ginormica; Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie (TV's “House,” “Stuart Little”) as Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; Will Arnett (TV’s “Arrested Development,” “Blades of Glory”) as The Missing Link; Seth Rogen (”Knocked Up,” “Superbad”) as B.O.B.; Rainn Wilson (”Juno,” TV’s “The Office”) as Gallaxhar; Emmy winner Stephen Colbert (TV’s “The Colbert Report,” “Bewitched”) as The President of the United States; Golden Globe winner Kiefer Sutherland (TV’s “24,” “Phone Booth”) as General W.R. Monger; and Paul Rudd (”Knocked Up,” “Night at the Museum”) as Susan’s boyfriend, Derek.
“Monsters vs. Aliens” is directed by Rob Letterman (”Shark Tale”) and Conrad Vernon (”Shrek 2″), produced by Lisa Stewart (”I Think I Love My Wife”) and co-produced by Jill Hopper and Latifa Ouaou. The film marks the theatrical debut of DreamWorks Animation’s Ultimate 3-D, the studio’s proprietary production process of authoring its animated films in 3-D from start to finish.
When California girl Susan Murphy is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a “monster” named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is captured and held in a secret government compound. The world learns that the military has been quietly rounding up other monsters over the years. This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement time is cut short however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country.
As a last resort, under the guidance of General W.R. Monger (on a desperate order from The President), the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to combat the aliens and save the world from imminent destruction.
What do you think of that?
