During the opening session at the D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas, former Eidos Interactive president and current intellectual-property migration specialist Keith Boesky said, “People are making games based on Juno just to cater to the [casual] market.” The world of video game blogs went crazy, reporting that Eidos Interactive was making a video game based [...]

A bunch of middle school kids interview Juno director Jason Reitman at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. One of the brats asks Reitman where he finds time to call his father (Ivan Reitman) when he needs to know where to put the camera. Another one of the kids follows up with a question asking [...]

The little film that could has now crossed the $100 million dollar mark, and is now the sixth biggest platform release of all time. Congratulations to Fox Searchlight, Diablo, Jason, Ellen, Olivia, and all the rest of the people who made this film. Check out the full press release after the jump.

“We are, like, major.”
The day all hardcore Kimya Dawson fans and Chan Marshall’s Miami hangers-on have dreaded is here, as the Juno Soundtrack has taken Soundscan’s gold medal, with 65,000 units sold. And take note, because this is the first time a soundtrack for a Best Picture nominee has dangled its legs from atop [...]

I’ve written about some of the cool Juno t-shirt promos that Fox Searchlight passed out at the advanced screenings. But check out this killer Hamburger phone that was sent out to select critics. The box art features the quote from the movie:
“Can you hold on for a second? I’m on my hamburger phone. It’s just [...]

Juno is my favorite movie of 2007. Over the last couple months I’ve talked to hundreds of people who have seen the movie and have only met a couple people who didn’t love it. There are three things that everyone always talks about after seeing this film: The incredible script by Diablo Cody, the amazing [...]

“That ain’t no etch-a-sketch. This is one doodle that can’t be un-did, homeskillet.” - Rainn Wilson as Rollo in Juno
Los Angeles-based Etch-a-sketch artist (who knew there was such a thing) Elliot Sharron recently saw Juno (”The best movie of 2007!”) and sketched this picture of Michael Cera and Ellen Page from Jason Reitman’s film. Elliot [...]

Jason Retiman’s Juno took in an estimated $15.7 million in 998 theaters this past weekend, earning the second biggest Friday night in “indie” film history. Fox Searchlight has decided to expand this little comedy into 2,000 screens starting this Friday.
Juno has drawn comparisons to Little Miss Sunshine (I actually wrote that it was “This year’s [...]

Fox Searchlight has a huge hit on their hands with Juno. The film grossed $3.285 million on 998 screens on Friday night (December 28th). I hate to say I told you so, but… well, I told you so. Juno is connecting with mainstream America. The film was given the patented platform release that we’ve grown [...]

When I first saw Juno at the Toronto Film Festival in September, one of the things I made mention of was the super-cool rotoscoped color-pencil animated opening sequence done by Shadowplay Studios.
Shadowplay has put the sequence online, which can now be watched below. I love this style so much, I wish that the marketing guys [...]

I tend to agree with this list more than I agreed with [...]

Director Jason Reitman and and screenwriter Diablo Cody sit down to watch and discuss a scene from Fox Searchlight’s Juno. It’s kinda like a directors commentary of just one scene, only more promotional. I’m not sure how insightful Reitman’s commentary is here, and Cody doesn’t get many words in, but offers a funny “button” on [...]

Want to see the best film of the year? Jason Reitman’s Juno was released in New York City and Los Angeles last week, and will be expanding across the country in the next few weeks. Fox Searchlight has released a listing, and you can now find out where and when you can see Juno on [...]

What is the best movie soundtrack of the year? It’s a tie between Jason Reitman’s Juno which features some really cool indie folk rock from Kimya Dawson, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood, which features an experimental original score by Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood. I highly recommend both.
Juno is available now digitally through iTunes, [...]

Most major city regions have a society or association of film critics, who each year join together to vote on the best films and performances of the year. This weekend the winners have been announced for the National Board of Review, Los Angeles Film Critics Association (LAFCA), the New York Film Critics Online (NYFCO), The [...]
