We were pretty curious and more than slightly excited when it was announced that Elijah Wood, Seth Rogen and Danny McBride would play the Beastie Boys in a short film called Fight For Your Right Revisited. The film picks up as the Beasties sneak out of the party they crashed in the 1986 ‘(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)’ video, and then carries on along a ridiculous path of destruction and minor mayhem that, somehow, ends with two incarnations of the Beasties in a dance-off that turns into a very literal pissing match. (So, yeah, perhaps consider this one NSFW.)
The short premiered at SXSW and aired last night on MTV and Comedy Central, and now the whole thing is online. Check it out after the break. Read More »

Boasting one of the most star-studded casts ever to grace a short film, Fight For Your Right – Revisited had its world premiere at Sundance in January. Directed by Beastie Boy Adam Yauch, it follows the rap legends after their classic ’80s music video Fight For Your Right and stars Elijah Wood, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Jack Black, John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell. Plus there are cameos by Susan Sarandon, Jason Schwartzman, Stanley Tucci, Will Arnett, Rainn Wilson and many more.
One of the main questions everyone asked when the film was announced was, when are we going to get to see it? Well, it seems like the full 30 minutes version will be released when the Beastie Boys put out their new album, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, on May 3. Until then, you’ll just have to watch the trailer, which is embedded after the break. Read More »

So Elijah Wood is going to be in The Hobbit. Kind of a surprise to some, though given part of the infrastructure built by J.R.R. Tolkien, not the most unusual thing that could have happened. (More on that in a minute; we’ll keep supposition and info about the nuts and bolts of his appearance after the break.)
Now someone has managed to catch up with the actor to get a direct soundbyte about the film. He doesn’t have much to offer, but if you want the word on The Hobbit direct from Mr. Wood, it’s after the break. Warning: no great revelations lie within. Read More »
The big Elijah Wood news in the past couple days was that the actor will appear in The Hobbit to reprise his character Frodo from The Lord of the Rings. (Details on that appearance here.) But he’s also got another role booked: he’ll be Ben Gunn in a Sky TV adaptation of Treasure Island, scripted by Stewart Harcourt and directed by Steve Barron (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). Eddie Izzard is playing Long John Silver, which is brilliant.
After the break, Neve Campbell books a role to follow Scream 4, and Michael Fassbender circles a Sean Penn film.
