Hunt For The Wilderpeople director boards stop-motion feature; Rocket Science is handling sales.

In perhaps the most startlingly original high-level package of this week’s European Film Market (Efm) in Berlin, Rocket Science has announced that Taika Waititi will direct the stop-motion feature Bubbles, a coming-of-age story about Michael Jackson’s celebrity pet chimpanzee.

Waititi, the hotshot New Zealand director behind Hunt For The Wilderpeople, TV’s The Inbetweeners and upcoming Marvel Studios tentpole Thor: Ragnarok, will work alongside co-director Mark Gustafon, who served as animation director on Fantastic Mr Fox.

Andrew Kortschak and Walter Kortschak of End Cue are producing with Dan Harmon’s Starburns Industries, the animators behind 2016 best animation feature Oscar nominee Anomalisa.

Rocket Science has soft-launched Bubbles to international buyers in Berlin ahead of a major push in Cannes. CAA represents Us rights.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg sure seem to be loving the TV world. They've already developed the awesome AMC series Preacher and the upcoming Hulu show Future Man. Now they are set to produce and help develop two upcoming comedy series.

The first project is a superhero-themed show that is set up at Fox. It's being developed by Mike Rosolio (Lemmings), and it "centers on an ambitious MIT graduate who gets a job working for a Steve Jobs-esque tech genius, only to learn he’s also a vigilante superhero by night forcing her to become the unwitting Alfred to his Batman."

The second series is set up at ABC and focuses on the Illuminati, which is a society that a lot of conspiracy theorists love to talk about. That show is being developed by Brad Copeland (Life In Pieces, The Inbetweeners), and it "centers on a young couple struggles...

When Taika Waititi was hired to direct Thor: Ragnarok, a lot of people the world over probably did a bit of a "Who?" You may not recognize the name, but the actor-writer-director-producer's credits include Flight of the Conchords, Eagle vs Shark, Boy, Green Lantern, The Inbetweeners and What We Do in the Shadows.

With a release date set for November 3rd 2017, it looks like the ball has started rolling on Thor: Ragnarok with The Wrap reporting that New Zealand director Taika Waititi (Eagle vs. Shark, What We Do in the Shadows) is in negotiations to helm the Thunder God’s second sequel, following Marvel Studios trend of choosing up and coming directors over established ones. Waititi (who has a history with comic book movies with a supporting role in Green Lantern) has made a name for himself in the world of t.v., helming episodes of The flight of the Conchords and The Inbetweeners, but he’s probably better known for last year’s vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows, which has gone on to be a cult hit. Having beat out Ruben Fleischer (Gangster Squad, Zombieland), Rawon Marshall (Dodgeball), and Rob Latterman (Goosebumps), Waititi is certainly the most unlikely choice Marvel Studios has made,...

Some movies just have you at hello (and if they don’t, they probably won’t ever get you), and The Intern is one of those films. Warner Bros. has released a new set of images, and they actually clue you in to more detail than the trailer, but further marketing for this one is probably a lost cause. If Robert De Niro showing up to be Anne Hathaway‘s intern doesn’t suck you in, you’re immovable.

If the added information that this one is written and directed by Nancy Meyers still doesn’t do anything for you, I don’t think there’s the slightest hope of reaching you.

As I said, the images reveal a bit more of the story, especially in the sense of De Niro and Hathaway appearing with a cute kid, but I don’t think that’s going to be big reveal...

Academy Award winners Robert De Niro (“Raging Bull,” “Silver Linings Playbook”) and Anne Hathaway (“Les Misérables,” “The Devil Wears Prada”) star together in Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Intern.

Oscar-nominated and award-winning filmmaker Nancy Meyers (“It’s Complicated,” “Private Benjamin”) is directing the dramatic comedy from her own screenplay.

In The Intern, De Niro stars as Ben Whittaker, a 70-year-old widower who has discovered that retirement isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Seizing an opportunity to get back in the game, he becomes a senior intern at an online fashion site, founded and run by Jules Ostin (Hathaway).

The film’s multi-generational cast also features Rene Russo (“Thor”), Anders Holm (“Workaholics”), Andrew Rannells (“Girls”), Adam Devine (“Pitch Perfect”), Celia Weston (“No Reservations”), Nat Wolff (“The Fault in Our Stars”), Linda Lavin (“Wanderlust”), Zack Pearlman (“The Inbetweeners”), newcomer Jason Orley, and Christina Scherer (“Living with Uncle Charlie”).

The first trailer for the indie comedy Staten Island Summer has been released online, and it is chock full of familiar faces. Written by Saturday Night Live head writer and Weekend Update co-host Colin Jost, the film tells the story of two recent high school graduates and their last summer as lifeguards before they head off for college. It’s a premise that’s been covered countless times before, but Staten Island Summer was inspired by Jost’s own experiences, and he enlisted a ridiculous number of SNL alums to appear. Surrounding the film’s stars Graham Phillips (The Good Wife) and Zack Pearlman (The Inbetweeners) are folks like Bobby Moynihan, Will Forte, Cecily Strong, Fred Armisen, Kate McKinnon, Mike O’Brien, and many more.

Hulu has more stories to tell about an apathetic New York City dude who sees ghosts. The streaming video platform announced its original supernatural comedy series Deadbeat will return for a second season on April 20, 2015.

Deadbeat features Kevin (played by Tyler Labine), a medium who is competent at helping ghosts complete their unfinished business but utterly incapable of making his own life better. Season two will include special guest stars James Franco (who just signed on to star in Hulu’s upcoming adaptation of a Stephen King novel), Danny DeVito, Fred Armisen, Michael Ian Black, Zach Levi, Gilbert Gottfried, Finn Wittrock, and Jim Norton.

When Deadbeat debuted back in April 2014, we noted how Kevin’s lazy behavior and appearance appeals to the binge-watching, pot-smoking crowd. It seems appropriate, then, that Hulu has opted to release Deadbeat season two on 4/20, a day renowned for marijuana smoking. The teaser and key art...

Before we discuss John Mulaney, the fictional protagonist of Fox’s new comedy Mulaney, allow me to confess something about John Mulaney, the real-life comedian: I am a huge fan of his pre-sitcom work.

Ever since I saw him do a bit about Girl Scout cookies on Saturday Night Live — back when he wrote for the show and introduced us to Stefon, the gift that keeps on giving — I was hooked. I know his stand-up specials backwards and forwards (and regularly quote them). Needless to say, I was thrilled when Mulaney finally landed his own sitcom.

Russell Brand, Sasha Pieterse ("Pretty Little Liars") and 17 year-old Austin Abrams ("The Inbetweeners") are in talks to star in Werner Herzog's next film "Vernon God Little" at Canana Films.

Based on Dbc Pierre's 2003 debut novel, the story is set in a small Texan border town. A violent school shooting is perpetrated by a bullied loner who guns down six classmates and then himself.

Vernon (Abrams), his only friend, not only witnesses the suicide he then becomes a suspect in the shootings. Despite the dark subject matter, the tone is said to be that of a satirical black comedy about America's fame and violence obsessions.

Brand would play a charming but manipulative reporter who is willing to betray anyone in order to get a fresh angle on the story. Pieterse plays the beautiful but self-absorbed object of Vernon’s affections.

Knight Rider has hired screenwriter Brad Copeland.

The Wild Hogs writer will tackle the movie remake for The Weinstein Company, reports the Los Angeles Times.

David Hasselhoff has said that he wants to be involved in the movie.

The original TV series ran from 1982 to 1986 and has spawned a series of spinoffs and reboots since.

The most recent, 2008 Knight Rider series lasted for only a single season.

Copeland has written for television shows including Arrested Development and The Inbetweeners, as well as the movies Wild Hogs and Yogi Bear. He wrote and directed the upcoming Coffee Town.

The show which fuelled a lot of childhood daydreams, Knight Rider, is one step closer to a big screen outing. While there’s been a threat of a new take on the hit show, it looks like now there’s traction to the rumours. The Los Angeles Times reports that The Weinstein Company have brought writer Brad Copeland onto the project to pen the script.

Copeland has been attached to a number of TV shows. Scribbling episodes for the original Arrested Development run, he also worked on the Us version of British comedy The Inbetweeners for MTV. His big screen outings, Wild Hogs and Yogi Bear, might not convince but his 2012 indie flick Coffee Town proves he ain’t just in it for the moola.

This rebooted version of the popular TV series will be a big budget actioner, no doubt hopping on the bandwagon made popular by fare like...

The Weinstein Company has hired Brad Copeland to write the first draft of an upcoming big-screen adaptation of the classic 80's action series Knight Rider.

The original series starred David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a crime-fighter that is aided by a futuristic talking Trans Am called Kitt (Knight Industries Two Thousand). The show was rebooted by NBC in 2008 featuring a Ford Mustang as the A.I. infused vehicle with Justin Bruening starring.

Brad Copeland is best known for his work on Arrested Development and The Inbetweeners. He also wrote Walt Becker's comedy Wild Hogs and makes his directorial debut with the upcoming indie comedy Coffee Town.

No production details have been released.

The big screen take on Knight Rider moves a step closer, as Brad Copeland is hired to pen the script...

One of the consequences of the massive success of the Fast & Furious movie franchise is that movies with cars, particular with cars that are capable of moving at speed, are getting through the Hollywood system just a little easier.

Jason sees this as an opportunity to reflect on his mistakes and steer Ben onto an opposite path. Unfortunately for Ben, Jason’s advice is usually misguided and creates more problems than solutions.

The dark comedy is a favorite at this year's Sundance Film Festival and director Jordan Vogt-Roberts said he got the idea when he saw the Will Ferrell movie Step Brothers, and thought instead of middle aged men acting like teenage boys, it would be funny if teen boys tried to act like men. He also drew upon his own life, telling The Wrap that growing up he'd hang out at his friend's house whose parents were divorced, "During the summer we had run of his house because his mom worked.

There's also a U.K. version on which the show was based, and a film which Wrekin Hill is distributing on N. American soil, after doing well at the British box office. About The Inbetweeners: Not nerds or jocks, but kids who are smack in the middle of the high school social ladder, the Inbetweeners are a group of teenagers navigating high school and charging into adulthood the way everyone does… by taking one step forward...

On Monday, MTV aired the first season finale of The Inbetweeners. The show hasn't been cancelled or renewed for a second season yet? What should they do?

Being a teenager is pretty hard for everyone, but no one makes it look more difficult than the hapless foursome at the center of MTV's "Inbetweeners."

In the upcoming episode (Mon., Oct. 29 at 10:30 p.m. Et on MTV), virginal Will (Joey Pollari) is trying to convince the object of his affection to have sex with him, but she refuses to take his virginity because she thinks it will make him clingy and obsessive.
