Space Chimps 2 coming direct to DVD

"Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back" is coming the 5th of October, 2010 (DVD premiere).



This is interesting, because the first one didn't perform in the US as well as they hoped, and so the sequel has been released in theaters in other countries, but in the US it's going straight to DVD.

Here are the international releases...

UK - 28 May 2010
Israel - 22 July 2010
Kazakhstan - 5 August 2010 (3-D version)
Russia - 5 August 2010 (3-D version)
USA - 5 October 2010 (DVD premiere)
Netherlands - 16 December 2010

Wikipedia still thinks Andy Samberg is going to be in the DVD release, but it doesn't have the news that Space Chimps 2 is coming to DVD for the US.

The director of Space Chimps 2 is John H. Williams. This is his directorial debut (sad that he's debuting on DVD in the US). He produced all four Shrek movies. Using that momentum, he started Vanguard Animation (not a huge leap, considering he was already running Vanguard Films), so that means he also produced Valiant, Happily Never After (but he let the DVD sequel go to the studio execs, which is why it has no name actors and why it's so horrible), Space Chimps, and now Space Chimps 2. Their next project is Emo Boy, based on a comic book. More on Emo Boy: http://comics.wikia.com/wiki/Emo_Boy

Is Andy Samberg back on in Space Chimps 2?

Wikipedia thinks so:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Chimps_2



Cast

Andy Samberg - Ham III

Cheryl Hines - Luna

Patrick Warburton - Titan

Zack Shada - Comet

Stanley Tucci - Senator

Laura Bailey - Kilowatt
 
 

The discrepency is that Andy's voice doesn't seem to be used in the trailer or the UK release:



So my best guess is either Wikipedia is wrong or they are redubbing Andy's voice over for the U.S. release (which would also explain why they haven't released it in the U.S. yet), seeing how IMDB last thought it would be released in June in the U.S.

 
IMDB doesn't list out all the official cast yet.
 
Also, the film was already released in the UK:
 
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1537481/business


Interestingly, this is the first directing effort by John H Williams, a successful animated film producer who started Vanguard Animation (the studio that made Space Chimps, Valiant, and Happily N'ever After). In addition to producing all his studio's animated films, he also produced all four Shrek films. I guess that means DreamWorks kept inviting him back and never saw his other animated films as an actual threat. =^)

Andy Samberg hanging out with Anna Faris while filming

How lucky is Anna Faris? The blond beauty was photographed goofing off with the hunky Chris Evans on the set of their movie, What’s Your Number? in Boston, Massachusetts on Monday, June 14th, 2010. Joining the pretty duo on set was funny guy Andy Samberg.

The romantic comedy follows a woman looks back at the past twenty men she’s had relationships with in her life and wonders if one of them might be her one true love.

This will be Evans final film before starring in “Captain America: The First Avenger.”

Andy Samberg and Anna Farris filming scenes for "What's Your Number?"

Anna Faris and Andy Samberg were spotted in Boston today as they filmed scenes for the upcoming film “What’s Your Number”.

A woman looks back at the past twenty men she’s had relationships with in her life and wonders if one of them might be her one true love.

Anna is one lucky actress – she’ll be working with some of “Hollywood’s Finest”: Ryan Phillippe, Joel McHale, Zachary Quinto, and Chris Evans.

MacGruber tanked in the Box Office

Domestic Total as of Jun. 9, 2010: $8,511,440

Production Budget: $10 million

Still, this is better than Will Forte's last effort, The Brothers Solomon (9/7/07), which made only $900,926.

But not quite as good as Andy Samberg's Hot Rod...



Which made $14,334,401.

So unfortunately The Lonely Island remains unbankable in movies.

So sad. =^(

Alex Holdridge picked Andy Samberg for "The F-Word"

In 2007, Alex Holdridge earned a place on my list of directors to watch (which I keep stapled to the fridge because we ran out of magnets) by directing a film called In Search of a Midnight Kiss. It was a fantastic indie romance, less navel-gazing than others, raunchier than others, and I genuinely cared about what the characters were going through.

In a world lacking in both good romantic comedies and good dramas aimed at a younger crowd, it was a pleasant surprise that showed up at the door with five condoms.

Hopefully that sensibility translates to his forthcoming project. According to Production Weekly, the director is negotiating with Fox Searchlight to helm The F-Word with Andy Samberg possibly starring.

The plot is as navel-gazing as you can get – people in their 20s fighting back their natural feelings because the girl’s already got a man. However, if there’s anyone I would trust to elevate material like that, it’s Holdridge.

That raises the question though, of what version of Andy Samberg we’re going to see. He’s a bit manic when it comes to comedy, and I’m wondering if the script will call for him to calm it down. I can only imagine with the complexity that a subject like that might carry with it, that it’ll demand a bit of drama from the actor. He showed shades of that with his role in I Love You, Man, so hopefully he can deliver even more.
