Hard to believe, but it has been over 10 years since we have had a theatrical release starring The Muppets. That film was Muppets in Space and had a pretty stellar (no pun intended) cast for 1999 with names like Jeffrey Tambor, David Arquette, Andie MacDowell, Ray Liotta, and Rob Schneider joining in the felt wackiness.

Hard to believe it, but it looks like Jason Segel may actually be able to top that cast with the list of cameos for his upcoming Muppets film, tentatively titled The Greatest Muppets Movie Ever Made.

Just to drop a few names, the film promises to have appearances from Emily Blunt, Zach Galifiniakis, Neil Patrick Harris, Ed Helms, Jack Black, Danny Trejo, Amy Adams, Ricky Gervais, Katy Perry, Donald Glover, Whoopi Goldberg, and dozens of other names.

Needless to say, that title may just fit this film. The very first poster has arrived for the unnamed project, and much like the tagline in it, the film is much closer than you think, as the current release date is set for November 23rd of this year.

Check out the full poster after the jump, and be sure to keep it here as we bring you more news on the upcoming film.

You know an idea is a goldmine when you can take the almost the exact premise and reuse it several times over countless sequels. Look at franchises like Saw, Fast & The Furious and Mission: Impossible. All changed slightly but used over and over and with each franchise having been very successful.

That’s exactly what is happening with Warner Bros. and Todd Phillips’ Hangover film. A great story about 3 guys backtracking a crazy night in Las Vegas has now turned into 3 guys backtracking a crazy night in Bangkok.

Sure, a few things have changed, like a tattoo instead of missing teeth, and a monkey instead of a tiger, but we are getting to the exact same place. With that, we bring you the first full-length trailer for The Hangover: Part 2.

Check it out after the jump, and catch the flick in theaters on May 26th.

Last week may have had a few decent moments, but having someone like Miley Cyrus host Saturday Night Live will only get you so far. That’s why we’re all pretty excited to see Zach Galifiniakis return for a second time this weekend to host the show.

Nobody was sure if we’d see Zach again on the show, let alone this soon, as his last hosting gig didn’t go off as smoothly as it could have. The episode was full of awkward moments and missed jokes, but it seems that Lorne and the gang are ready to give the comedian a mulligan, and welcome him back with open arms.

In promoting this Saturday’s episode, both Zach and regular funnyman Andy Samberg recorded the typical TV spots for the network. We’ve got the whole list of them strung together, thanks to HULU.

Check out the reel after the jump, and join Andy and Zach on Saturday Night Live this Saturday at 11:30pm.

Todd Philips’ Hangover 2 had better be the funniest movie in decades. In the midst of all the drama on the set between Galifiniakis, Gibson, and now Liam Neeson, this film is coming across as more dramatic than comedic.

About a month ago, it was announced that after putting his foot down, the film’s star Zach Galifiniakis won the battle to have Mel Gibson written out of the film. He was initially supposed to have a cameo in the film, much like the controversial Mike Tyson did in the first film. Zach wanted none of that, so Gibson had to go.

Later, he was replaced by the ubiquitous Liam Neeson, who filled Gibson’s shoes with his particular set of skills. Things seemed to quiet down, but now it looks like Giamatti is joining in all the fun with a cameo, according to Deadline.

It’s very difficult for this film to remain a secret, given it’s public shooting locations in Thailand. Some very spoiler–happy images have already gone up online, which may just ruin the film for you, so don’t click if you can’t handle it.

Hangover 2 is set to hit theaters May 26th, 2011.

Welcome to this week’s On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage this week. Let is know if we missed something interesting. Otherwise, on to the links!

• Remember that guy who reviewed the Star Wars movies? Well, he’s back and reviewing Star Trek now. Still funny.

• Old Spice spokesman Isaiah Mustafa wants to be Luke Cage so badly that he even did a photo shoot to show to studio executives. We think this needs to happen.

• Like fights? Of course you do. So, here’s five classic action hero fights that need to happen.

• Love Glee? Hate Glee? Seriously don’t give a crap either way? If you’re that first one, here’s a preview of next season. The rest of you go watch something else.

For years we have been teased with the possibility of the Dark Horse comic R.I.P.D. coming to the big screen. Now it looks like it will finally happen.

Super producer Neal Moritz (The Fast and Furious, Green Hornet, Luke Cage, Every other upcoming movie you can think of) has been successful in his talks with the man who is becoming a comic book movie regular, Ryan Reynolds (X-men Origins: Wolverine, Green Lantern, Deadpool) and has gotten him to star in the film. In addition, it appears Moritz has scored again, as now rumored to be joining the project is none other than McG (Charlie’s Angels, Terminator Salvation).

McG is currently working on the troubled  This Means War. Unfortunately, This Means War has been a passion project for McG and now that Fox is backing the film it will be his first priority.

With McG’s history of directing big budget blockbuster movies, the expectation is that Universal is looking to take a risk, with them betting that R.I.P.D. will become a summer blockbuster.

R.I.P.D. (Rest in Peace Department) follows the adventures of two dead cops, one recently deceased and the other who died centuries ago, who police the dead. In addition to Reynolds, rumored for the co-starring role opposite is Zach Galifiniakis.

Do you think McG is the right fit to direct? Who do you think would be better? Sound off and let us know!

Welcome to this week’s On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage this week. Let is know if we missed something interesting. Otherwise, on to the links!

• The Fantastic Four reboot is still happening, and now with a completely CG Thing.

• We can’t wait for Stone’s Social Network, but these parody posters are pretty damned entertaining as well.

• Because we love lists, Adult Swim brings us a list of the Most Invasive Surgeries on the network. Mind you, this is before Children’s Hospital aired.

This summer hasn’t exactly been the best when it comes to comedies, but that may come to an end next Friday as the new comedy Dinner for Schmucks starring Paul Rudd and Steve Carell hits theaters nationally.

The film stars Rudd as an up-and-coming executive who wants to succeed so badly that he falls in line with the rest of his superiors in finding a socially awkward moron to invite to an annual dinner. Enter Steve Carell, who is a walking social catastrophe.

The film reunites Rudd and Carell for the first time since 2005’s 40 Year Old Virgin and looks to have quite a bit of hilarious moments in it. Joining in the ride are other genre funnymen Ron Livingston, Zach Galifiniakis, and Flight of the Conchord’s Jemaine Clement.

We’ve got four new clips from the film for you to check out, each of which show off the dynamic of Rudd and Carell. Paul Rudd even gets to do some physical comedy, which we haven’t seen him do in quite some time.

Check out the clips after the jump, and be sure to catch Dinner For Schmucks in theaters next Friday, July 30th.

Being in the movie game, there is very little that surprises us anymore. We hear about a sequel to Avatar or a reboot of Spider-Man and it barely garners a raised eyebrow. On the opposite of that, sometimes a movie comes along completely out of left field. That movie is called Operation: Endgame and we can’t wait to see it.

Originally titled Rogues Gallery, the film is an action comedy about two rival spy factions that face off in an epic spy game. Are you ready for the exciting part? The cast consists of the following names: Rob Corddry, Zach Galifiniakis, Odette Yustman (Cloverfield), Bob Odenkirk, Jeffrey Tambor, Maggie Q, Adam Scott (Party Down), Emilie de Ravin, and Ving Rhames. Think of it as a live action version of FX’s Archer.

The most shocking part? You won’t be rushing to the theaters to see this film. It’s actually going straight to Blu-ray and DVD on July 27th. That’s right, possibly one of the most exciting films we’ve heard about in a while isn’t even getting a theatrical release.

Check out the first red band trailer (thanks to Trailer Addict) for the film after the jump, and you’ll know what we’re talking about. We’ll be sure to keep you posted on any and all news about this upcoming action comedy.

With True Blood kicking off this Sunday, HBO is getting their new and returning series ready for the world to see. That means that we get some of the first glimpses at our favorite comedies returning since last season, such as Bored to Death and Eastbound and Down.

The former, Bored To Death, stars Jason Schwartzman as a failed writer living in Brooklyn who decides to moonlight as a private detective. The only problem is that he isn’t very good at that either. The show is actually made watchable by the supporting characters played by Zach Galifiniakis and Ted Danson.

The latter, starring Danny McBride, is about a rundown, foul-mouthed, ex-major league pitcher who has to settle into the life of a regular gym teacher in a small town. The show comes from Jody Hill (Observe & Report) and Will Ferrell, and had us in stitches for the first season.

Both comedies are slated to return around the same time, keeping HBO’s popular comedy series together in one night, most likely. Check out the new teasers for both shows after the jump, and get ready for Eastbound & Down and Bored To Death to return this September.
