Did you hear that Judd Apatow KNOCKED UP Anne Hathaway?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Ahhh, this is the morning for improper headlines. First Jessical Biel attracted to (Philip K.) Dick and now the above regarding Judd Apatow's new movie KNOCKED UP.
His follow-up to 4O YEAR OLD VIRGIN centers on a dude that finds out he impregnated his one night stand. And it's a romantic comedy! It would seem that Anne Hathaway is playing the preggers one night stand. VIRGIN vets Seth Rogan, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann also return.
Apatow is on a roll right now. I loved 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN and I have high hopes for his sophomore effort. You hear me Apatow! Don't fuck this one up!

I liked the 40 year old virgin. It reminds me of my brother. Anyway, I'll wait until production is further along, but Hathaway is adorable, so I'm there.
-
I love 40 year old so as long as the humor is that type it'll be good
-
Harry is a ginger
-
Wow, my first first..NICE.....anyway, anne hathaway is WAY hot and we all know that is all that counts. this movie should rock.
-
I waited too long. Not first =[
-
...I thought it was for real and that AICN had become a tabloid gossip column
-
Matthew Perry & Salma Hayek did this one already. And while it was okay, it certainly didn't need a remake/ripoff.
-
Sounds like a great follow up to 40 Year Old Virgin... I'll see it.
-
Apatow rocks Freaks and Geeks is one of the greatest TV shows ever made and 40 year old virgin was funny as fuck. This is gonna be cool. Whos playing the main guy?
-
...she's not that good, is she? But Seth Rogen, he can do this stuff in his sleep. Apatow is a very exciting director right now, if you ask me.
-
Sloppy, funny and a guy you just want to go have a beer with.
-
A pregnant Anne Hathaway's boobs... it boggles the mind.
-
"You know how I know you're gay? Cuz you're gay."
-
let's get back to good writing.
-
Definitely not as great a concept for a dark oddball comedy as VIRGIN or even CABLE GUY. Yes - its all in the execution. But tonally this could present some problems unless Apatow "gimmicks" her character and makes her a lesbian or underage or retarded. Or makes Seth Rogen or whoever is playing the lead married with three kids. OK now don't steal that Apatow!!!
-
That made me laugh.
-
that's all.
-
VIRGIN was funny as hell, but god damn, was it overlong - not to even bring up the unrated version, which is longer than many epic adventure-type films. Improv is fine, but let the editor do his job. If he DOES make her a lesbian, this becomes dangerously, tantalizingly close to a comedy version of TIME AND TIDE, not that that's a bad thing, and not that TIME AND TIDE
-
...and not that TIME AND TIDE wasn't the comedic version of TIME AND TIDE already.
-
He's already knocked up Hathaway, he's the perfect age and he's an excellent comedy actor, probably the best of the younger generation.
-
If you've never watched it, you have to see him on Freaks and Geeks.
-
I'm sorry. I know it's about geeks and all. And, that appeals to a large population of this site. However, it was LAME!! Just a bunch of 2 dimensional cliches running around spouting whack jokes that are supposed to be 'edgey', but in reality, are just playing it safe. The whole movie was just bad. Awful. We rented it. And, nobody could even be bothered to pay attention to it. Boooo!
-
Appatow's been on a role since the Ben Stiller show. Can't wait for this one, sounds like standard Appatow (AKA, instant classic)
-
and enter the gates of heaven? Anne Hathaway in a red rodeo-outfit. It's true. It says so in the bible. Somewhere in the back. Right next to where it says that heath and jake er sinners and will burn in hell.

40 Year Old Virgin was horribly?! hahaha. sure it was..
by sirbiatchreturns
horribly funny. It wasn't meant for geeks or anyone. it was just a funny movie with more humor/wit than we've seen in a while. I'm yet to meet someone who thought the movie was terrible.
-
made a typo
-
I agree - this guy is hilarious. Give him more work, you stupid Hollywood beeyatches. Any script that calls for Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell or Jack Black ... be sure to consider this guy. He's got that quality that just makes you start laughing as soon as you see him.
-
It had funny moment in it, but yeah it felt too long and drawn out. While it had a good story, the use of strong fowl language and crass sex jokes made the movie wear thin. My dad and mom and I, hated the whole sing along ending, that was just pointless and a waste. This will be good if he keeps the "f" word and crass sex jokes to a minimum and sells more of a story than cheap laughs.
-
especially: mallard, canard, pheasant, and quail.
-
With him as the lead? Definitely.
-
Hmmm, I own this dvd, I must've missed this in the language options. Was it like chicken, duck, geese with subtitles or something?
-
Yes I'm too lazy to type the whole thing, sue me. Here's hoping it was more than Steve Carrell carrying that movie and that they can pull this off, sounds funny.
-
I said "hello" and he punched me in the face. I haven't washed my cheek since..... I'm just kidding. I was to scared to say "hello" and he did not punch me in the face. Funny twist on the romantic comedy angle. Hopefully this will be cool.
-
I still want my two dollars back for sitting through the first 10 minutes of DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?
-
There's still some brilliant improv out there, like the Upright Citizen's Brigade or Second City
-
Was yet another nail in the comedic coffin...
-
thing. but ALL of the descriptions I'm getting of pilots these days are requesting improv (thanks, Larry David!). the idea is to look spontaneous, but it too often comes off as amateurish. out of each hour of improv, 20 minutes is usable and 10 minutes are truly great. and UCB is turd. like Mark Twain said, it takes 2-3 weeks of work to come up with an impromptu speech.
-
Yeah, sounds like fun! the knocking up part. Not the movie part!
-
She could be Wonder Woman with some training.
-
"You just realized Appatow is on a role?"
It's "on a roll" and you got it wrong twice. And it's 'Apatow' not Appatow. -
hire people without ideas. And you being without any too, naturally.
-
But I loved "40-year-old-Virgin". It reminded me of a raunchy Christopher Guest film, because half of the jokes were just embedded in normal conversation.
-
Yummers....
-
Will have to appeal to more than just fanboys to be successful. Casting Hathaway would at least ensure a good portion of her 100 Million Dollar Princess Diaries fan base of young girls will turn out to the theater opening weekend. And if Joss is writing it, that means Wonder Woman will at least crack a couple jokes, and Hathaway is good at comedy. Also she's tall, and pretty, and healthy. Just train her for 4 months. If Keanu can be Neo, Hathaway can do action.
-
Hopefully Black's fifteen minutes are over. What a no-talent piece of shit. He can join Pauly Shore and Adam Sandler in a big speedball overdose party.
-
It's really hard to take anyones opinion seriously when they use the word "Whack"... not as in the 60's Batmanesque onomatopoeic sense of the word.. but the more urban "That's whack homey" parlance.
-
Before she got topless in the gay movie she showed the puppies in a straight to video movie called "Havoc", Richard Roeper really liked it. It was about wiggers, pretty funny stuff. Oh yeah a bunch of Mexicans throw a train on Bijou Phillips in the movie.
-
I live in the Bronx and people still use it. But then again.... We here in NYC don't stop using words just because mainstream folk say they are uncool. These are usually the same people who start using the words years after we start. How Paris was credited with "That's Hot" a phrase used since the 90's is crazy.
-
If they decide to go with a non-amazonian-looking, caucasian actress then I reckon Hathaway would be a really good choice. She has the looks, the charm and the acting chops (I think). With some physical-training she'd be perfect. Plus your right about her bringing an audience, all those rabid young girls can't be bad for the B.O. Also, true about the slang co-opting thing. ~ P.S. Hype and Lando: Hahaha! Your killing me with that "Fowl language" stuff.
