There’s lots of parodies online for the teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens (like the George Lucas Special Edition, the Spaceballs version, and the Retro Recut), so it’s not surprising that Saturday Night Live would want to get in on the action.

During last night’s episode of SNL, the sketch show aired a parody of their own which featured host James Franco as an elderly Luke Skywalker, as well as the return of other familiar faces (faces, by the way, that weren’t in the real trailer).

Check out SNL‘s parody of the trailer here below.

Seth Rogen‘s The Interview wouldn’t be the first comedy that pokes fun at tense international relations with a hostile country like North Korea, and it most certainly will not be the last. In the film, Rogen and James Franco play journalists who travel North Korea to interview Kim Jong-Un, which is actually a covert mission, as they have been recruited by the CIA to assassinate the dictator.

As you can imagine, the initial premise did not sit well with the dictator, who has been sending out a few threats of his own since the release of the first few trailers.

First published in April 1985, Cormac McCarthy‘s historical western novel Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West has long been considered too dark and violent for a film adaptation to do the relentlessly horrific narrative justice. Directors like Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) and Todd Field (Little Children), who have never been strangers to making thematically challenging films, have tackled developing a Blood Meridian feature into a reality, but their efforts always ended in complete surrender. A tale of the dark days of the Old West whose violence and tone made The Wild Bunch look like an episode of Bonanza was never going to be an easy sell as a big-budget motion picture, regardless of what important names were attached.

The latest name to take a crack at filming the un-filmable is actor and director James Franco. Having already ventured into the world of cinematic adaptations of literary classics with film versions of McCarthy’s Child of God and William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying on his resume, Franco has long desired to be the one to bring Blood Meridian to the silver screen. A few years ago he even went as far as to shoot some test footage for his prospective adaptation, and managed to rope in some quality actors to help better visualize how Franco would approach a film based on the novel many consider to be Cormac McCarthy’s best.

To coincide with Child of God‘s upcoming U.S. theatrical release Franco has released the Blood Meridian test reel for all to gaze upon. You can watch the video here below.

The supreme leader of the Glorious Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea isn’t to pleased with how he is being depicted or that he is the butt of the joke in the new Seth Rogen and James Franco-starring vehicle The Interview. Considering the premise of the film has two journalists (Rogen and Franco) being recruited into the CIA and assigned to assassinate Kim Jong Un, you’d probably be a little mad, too.

We’ve already seen a hilarious trailer for the film, which shows that the CIA may have given the assignment to the wrong people. But this is the first time we are actually hearing from Jong-un talking about being the subject of the film. Hit the jump to hear what he is saying.

Two friends, George and Lennie, are traveling through California, looking for work at a farm or a ranch. Two friends who are just about as opposite as opposites can be, looking for that work more often than they care to. George is the smart, resourceful friend who takes care of Lennie, because well…Lennie ain’t quite right in the head. He has a hard time remembering stuff. He pets mice, pups, and ladies too hard. He can’t control his own strength sometimes. And George would have such a good life if he didn’t have to take care of Lennie, the “wine, women, and song” life…at least once a month. And George could settle in at a place, without Lennie getting in trouble and getting them run off.

What do you get when you mix Daniel Desario, Thomas-John, Blair Waldorf, Reverend Lowdown, Camel, Hoyt Fortenberry, and O’Neill? The cast of Of Mice and Men – PULLING IT OFF!!!
