Back in 2010 a very cool little animated short by French filmmaker Patrick Jean titled Pixels took the ‘net by storm. In it, a variety of classic arcade games invade New York City.

Not long after that came word that Adam Sandler‘s Happy Madison had acquired the rights to develop a feature-length adaptation of the short, and that Tim Herlihy would be writing the screenplay.

Now comes word that Sandler himself will star in the movie, and it looks like he’ll be joined by at least one old friend as Grown Ups co-star Kevin James and Josh Gad (Frozen) have entered into negotiations to star as well.

Briefly: When a film grosses $183 million at the box office on a $26 million budget, you would think that a studio might want to follow it up with a sequel. But that hasn’t happened for Paul Blart: Mall Cop for a few years. Until now. That’s right we are getting Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. Kevin James will return to reprise his role as the titular bumbling mall security guard, as well as pen the script. Steve Carr, the director of the first one, will not be back, but it didn’t take too long for a director to be named after the sequel was announced.

THR reports that Parental Guidance director Andy Fickman will helm the film with Todd Garner acting as producer. James will also produce.

When you think of Kevin James, you think of a lot of simple jokes, physical comedy, and slapstick. But the last thing you would think that would come to mind is inspiration.

Could it be, that I may find a hint of an uplifting story in a Kevin James movie? That appears to be the case with his new MMA fighter-based flick Here Comes the Boom.

Check out the trailer below.

It’s no big revolution that sometimes advertisements are digitally added to TV programs””usually during sporting events on the fields and walls””but it may just be reaching ridiculous levels in odd places.

Someone was watching a How I Met Your Mother rerun recently and noticed something interesting: some sort of magazine or book bearing the mark of the upcoming Kevin James family comedy, Zookeeper. The problem here is, the movie comes out this Friday, July 8th, and this particular episode of How I Met Your Mother first aired on March 19, 2007 (see the original screenshot of the episode pre–digital ad by clicking right here).

Though the random advertisement is very strange, let’s be honest: this isn’t really harming anything or anyone. That said, how far is too far when it comes to digitally inserting advertisements into TV shows and other things? And does this new ad cross that line, or are you OK with it?

The first trailer for Ron Howard‘s new comedy, The Dilemma, has been released online.

The movie stars Vince Vaughn and Kevin James as best friends and colleagues, who seem to have everything going for them. They impressive some important people at work, they both have great girlfriends (Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder), and all seems perfect…that is until one of them spots his buddy’s lady-friend messing around with another guy. This puts him in the unfortunate position of having to choose between breaking the bad news and jeopardizing all that is going so well, or just letting it be what it is.

The Dilemma doesn’t really look like a Ron Howard movie; not until you spot Clint Howard, of course. But it does look like it could be a pretty funny buddy flick.
