Paramount Pictures is running unannounced pop-up screenings of Jason Reitman‘s new film Young Adult in cities around North America. As a special bonus, Reitman and Paramount enlisted the curatorial services of Los Angeles’ famous pop culture art gallery Gallery1988 to pick the artists and produce limited edition pieces of art for the surprise screenings.
There have been pop-up screenings in Toronto, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Austin, each with an accompanying poster. (The Austin show featured a Q&A moderated by Patton Oswalt, who led the audience in a ‘no talking’ PSA shoot. That would have been fun.) Tonight’s screening is in San Francisco, and once again attendees get a unique piece of limited edition artwork. For the San Francisco show, Furturtle (aka artist Travis Bone) designed the poster. Check it out in full after the break. Read More »

As we told you yesterday, Paramount Pictures is running unannounced pop-up screenings of Jason Reitman‘s new film Young Adult in cities around North America. As a special bonus, Jason and Paramount enlisted the curatorial services of Los Angeles’s famous pop culture art gallery Gallery1988 to pick the artists and produce limited edition pieces of art for the surprise screenings.
I’ve been told there will be more pop up screenings in the coming week or two, although I have no idea where or when. Each screening will have a unique piece of limited edition artwork produced by a different artist. If you’re in a major city I would keep my eyes open for a pop-up screening in your area. Be sure to check back to see more art when we get it!
The first screening took place in Toronto Canada and featured a poster by Lil Tuffy. The second screening took place tonight in Minneapolis, MN with a limited edition print from Aesthetic Apparatus. Check it out after the jump.

The studio has given us an exclusive first look at the poster art that Lil Tuffy produced for the Toronto screening. I’ve been told there will be more pop up screenings in the coming week or two, although I have no idea where or when. Each screening will have a unique piece of limited edition artwork produced by a different artist. Seems like a really cool promotion — if you’re in a major city I would keep my eyes open for a pop-up screening in your area. Be sure to check back to see more art when we get it!

On Sunday morning, director Rian Johnson sent out a vague tweet, saying that “things have been quiet on the feud front. I have an update. It’s long.” Evidently he was referring to a (nonexistent?) longtime feud with director Jason Reitman, and his attempt to bury the hatchet with him. As with most things that Johnson writes, things don’t exactly go according to plan.
[Update: Commenter Greg points out the following: "The 'feud' was initiated by Johnson last week. He laid out the ground rules first. He wanted to pick a director more talented than himself so that he could be the underdog. And he wanted someone who didn't tweet a lot so it wouldn't be a lot of work for him. Reitman had not tweeted in over a year, but within a day or two of Johnson egging him on, he responded."]
The resulting tweets were multitudinous and spread out over many hours. Taken together, they clearly represent the deranged ramblings of a half-demented, syphilitic mind. I’ve compiled Johnson’s tweets for maximum readability and reprinted them after the jump without his permission. Enjoy.

Here’s a slightly different trailer for Jason Reitman‘s new film Young Adult. The film is scripted by Diablo Cody and features Charlize Theron as Mavis, a struggling, damaged author who heads back to her home town to win back her old flame, played by Patrick Wilson. Trouble is, he’s a married family man. Not that it really matters to Mavis. She’s determined to bulldoze her way back into his life.
As in the other trailer you may have seen earlier today, Theron’s character is announced as a giant bitch with the opening chords of David Bowie’s ‘Queen Bitch’ well before someone in the trailer gets around to calling her out on it. From there, we’re treated to a collection of moments of Mavis being terrible to others, and to herself. We’d heard the movie was supposed to be very dark, even uncomfortable. So far, that’s on point. But moments with Patton Oswalt lighten the mood a bit, if not quite in the way we’re used to seeing from him.
This trailer swaps out the clothes shopping gag that hits towards the end of the ‘clean’ trailer for a slightly more raunchy joke. Check it out below. Read More »
Not only did Labor Day just pass on the calendar, it got picked up by Paramount. Labor Day is the title of Jason Reitman‘s next movie, which will star Kate Winslet as a single mother who helps an escaped convict, played by Josh Brolin, and falls in love with him over the holiday weekend. Paramount will co-finance and distribute the romance, based on a novel by Joyce Maynard, from a screenplay by Reitman. Shooting will begin in June 2012. Read more after the jump. Read More »
