Extras Needed….
March 3, 2009 | Uncategorized
I’m looking for some “out there” party types to be extras in an upcoming “Wainy Days” episode. If you’re interested email wainydays@gmail.com - this is for NYC only!
From MTV Movies Blog:
Oh that poor Focker! Ben Stiller’s luckless nurse with a heart of gold and an inability to avoid awkward physical comedy couldn’t catch a break, neither when he met his girlfriends’ parents for the first time nor, in the second movie, when he introduced his soon-to-be in-laws to his own folks. For a couple years, a third film in the “Meet the Parents” franchise has been in the works, one called “Little Fockers,” which presumably would follow the awkward physical comedy Stiller gets into now that he has kids.
After much delay and at least one abandoned script, “Little Fockers” looks to be moving forward. Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and Owen Wilson are all in negotiations to take part again. John Hamburg, who’s written the Stiller comedy “Along Came Polly” and the forthcoming Paul Rudd/Jason Segel bromance “I Love You, Man,” is penning the script. Jay Roach, however, who helmed the first two “Meet” films, is out as director. So now rumors are flying about who will take over directing duties.
One guy whose name has been popping up is David Wain, a veteran of sketch comedy troupe “The State” and director of last year’s Paul Rudd comedy, “Role Models.” So when we sat down to chat with Wain, who was promoting the release of the “Models” DVD (out Tuesday, March 10), we had to ask if the “Fockers” rumors were true.
“I read that,” he said. “Yeah! I read that I think on the MTV Movies Blog.”
And…?
“No comment. Let’s keep it mysterious.”
What, you can’t give me anything? I thought we were boys…
“I’m offering you a very cool hip mysterious no comment.”
But you’re in the running, right? Wink, wink…
“Discussions are being had.”
So there you have it, folks, some sort of vague, non-denial, pronoun-less confirmation that Wain is so totally almost maybe gonna direct “Little Fockers”!!
And yeah, Wain, you read it here first on MTV Movies Blog!
From Joe Lo Truglio's blog :
Well, we’ve been crying wolf for about two years now. Let’s hope the sheep don’t get slaughtered this time, because I think this is finally it. MTV Home Entertainment plans to release the long-awaited State DVD set on July 14th….Bastille Day! Because as you know, The State would not exist if not for its deeply influenced origins in French history.
Now…there’s a slight chance this exact date may change, but it will be released in the summer. MTV is hoping to set up a State DVD Website in the next couple months with more info, and possible pre-order sales. Their ultimate plan is to coordinate the release between the Reno finale and the premiere of Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter’s very funny new show, Michael and Michael Have Issues.
Tell your friends. Storm the castle.

are those just the individual cases within the box set, or are they releasing them separately now?
More info and art from TV Shows on DVD. Reconfirms July 14 as release date. Awesome.
officially confirmed on the state website!

THE STATE: THE COMPLETE SERIES on DVD
The State was simply one of the sharpest, funniest, and most under-rated shows of the 1990's. Originally created as MTV's first foray into the sketch comedy genre, The State was a comedic gem that rocked Generation X with slapstick, smarts and witty sarcasm. The dynamic cast features 11 multi-talented actors who have continued to collaborate on such projects as RENO 911!, STELLA, VIVA VARIETY, WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER and THE TEN. MTV's timeless sketch comedy show The State is finally here.

THIS DVD WAS AUTHORIZED AND PRODUCED IN COOPERATION WITH THE STATE
I smell an anti-joke. The State sets up fans to anticipate release date of DVDs, nothing happens.
No reunion shows on the dvd? Damn. Oh well, if it actually comes out I'll be happy.
How do you know that's not what the "special appearances" are?

Here's a pretty cool trailer for the DVD:
I really really hope that's included.
