Skylar Astin and Camilla Belle Look for Love in New 'Cavemen' Trailer

What happens when the worlds of Pitch Perfect and the Footloose remake collide? Nothing remotely musical, apparently. Instead you get Cavemen, a romantic comedy starring Skylar Astin, Alexis Knapp, Kenny Wormald, Chad Michael Murray, Camilla Belle, and Dayo Okeniyi. Put these folks in anything else and you might have the makings of a something hot, but this trailer promises nothing but weak sauce.  Los Angeles 20-somethings are searching for love in all the wrong places, but it's Astin taking the lead as Dean, who wants to move on from one night stands and find something more. Belle plays his best friend and they share a physical attraction but you'll be shocked to learn neither is willing to make the first move. It's like they rolled this movie off an assembly line.

Written and directed by Herschel Faber, Cavemen opens February 7th. Lots of talent here, so maybe it'll be better than it appears.

New trailer for '21 and Over' starring Miles Teller

There's no doubt that Miles Teller is a star on the rise. After breaking out opposite Nicole Kidman in Rabbit Hole, he made a bigger mainstream splash in Footloose, and was so cool he made a cameo as himself in Project X. Next week he'll be at Sundance for the premiere of The Spectacular Now, which sees him starring opposite Shailene Woodley, but after that he'll be partying again in 21 and Over.

A new trailer for the film has debuted, and it looks exactly like what you'd expect from the writers of The Hangover. Teller and Skylar Astin(Pitch Perfect) play two buds who take their straight-A college friend Jeff Chang(Justin Chon) out on the town for his 21st birthday. Ofcourse it devolves into a night of wild chaos, and they have to figure out a way to set everything right before Jeff's all-important med school exam.

21 and Over opens on March 1st 2013....

A sequel to 'Pitch Perfect' is in the works

We talk a lot around here about crappy marketing campaigns that sink otherwise great movies, but Universal Pictures managed to do everything right with Pitch Perfect. The a capella comedy didn't have much in the way of star power, short of the intense likability of Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson's endless supply of dry wit, but they pushed the film largely through social media and connected directly with their core audience. Why waste money on expensive TV ads that may not work? And so the film was a hit, with some of the longest legs at the box office amounting to $76M so far.

So of course Universal wants a sequel, and with the film just hitting DVD/Blu-Ray on Tuesday, now's as good a time as any to start talking about it. Skylar Astin, who played Kendrick's The Breakfast Club-loving beau, has told Movieweb that he and Rebel Wilson have already been spoken to about coming back....

Astin:  "I do have a meeting with a Universal representative next week. And I know that Rebel Wilson had hers last weekend. It's definitely a talking point."

One can only assume they've already spoken to Kendrick about it, but would she be open to a return? She's had another strong year, possibly even better than when she was nominated for Up in the Air, and may want to prove her worth elsewhere. We'll see, but I'm excited for a sequel as long as Kendrick, Wilson, Anna Camp, Alexis Knapp, Elizabeth Banks and John Michael Higgins are back.

The first trailer for '21 & Over' from the writers of 'The Hangover'

If watching the new trailer for 21 & Over gives you a general sense of deja vu, don't fret. It's totally natural to feel as if it's familiar in a Wolfpack sort of way. That's because this wild night of drunken hijinks and debauchery is brought to you by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the writers of The Hangover in their directorial debut. Feel better now? Good, now sit back and enjoy the ride.

Miles Teller(Footloose) and Skylar Astin(Pitch Perfect) play two buds who take their straight-A buddy Jeff Chang(Justin Chon) out for a wild night of heavy drinking to celebrate his 21st birthday, much to the chagrin of his father(who some will recognize from Lost) who wants his son ready for a critical med school exam in the morning. One beer turns into many, and soon everything that can go wrong does. I found it hilarious that they refer to Jeff Chang by his full name every single time, kind of like Steve Holt in Arrested Development. Otherwise this looks like familiar stuff, but I said much the same thing before Project X(which also featured Teller) and it turned out to be a surprising favorite.

21 & Over opens on March 1st 2013....
