Video Fix: Sexy Jesus Makes Us Sing
Cinematical — Filed under: Comedy, Fandom, Movie Marketing, ComicCon Not long ago I gave Sony Pictures Classics props for the way they handled promotion on The Wackness, and I'm about to do the same for Focus Features, who've been pimping out Hamlet 2 like there's no tomorrow. Not only will Hamlet 2 have a major presence at this year's San Diego Comic Con (we're still giving away tickets to that private screening, by the way), but they're also sending around these sweet Hamlet 2 goodie bags and have put together a ...

Sing Along With Sexy Jesus Courtesy Of ‘Hamlet 2′
MTV Movies Blog — Oh yeah, we’re all going to hell in a handbasket. I hereby declare at the year’s halfway point that the funniest (non-“Pineapple Express”) movie I’ve seen so far is “Hamlet 2,” a blissfully demented flick that feels like the best elements of “Anchorman,” “Waiting for Guffman” and “Being John Malkovich,” all thrown into a blender and set to puree. The film is powered by a performance that should finally make Steve Coogan a star here in the states. At the beginning of the film he’s a D-level actor whose wife hates him, reduced to teaching the dramatic arts at an Arizona high school where the students mock him while he ...

Comic-Con 2008: Hamlet 2 Wants To Rock You Sexy Jesus
SpoutBlog — Hamlet 2 is one of the funnier films you probably haven’t heard of unless you track the movie sales at Sundance. Earlier this year it almost broke the Little Miss Sunshine record of 10.5 million when it sold for 10 million to Focus Features. The New York Times says “”It made sure to take shots at Christians, gays, Latinos, Jews, the American Civil Liberties Union and Elisabeth Shue, one of its lead actresses.” In fact, the trailer says “And reintroducing Elizabeth Shue as… Elizabeth Shue.” Since we attended their party ...

Bits and Bobs (Vol 8 ??): Who???s seeing 'Hamlet 2'? A Steve Coogan Q&A
Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch — Bits and Bobs (Vol 8 ½): Who’s seeing 'Hamlet 2'? A Steve Coogan Q Coogan_l_2 Anglophiles, you have spoken. In answer to Monday’s query — Why isn’t Steve Coogan a bigger U.S. star? — some of you said he was excellent but too esoteric for American tastes. Others still hold his personal life — they’re rumors, people! — against him. But we all seem to agree that he’s made some brilliant stuff, from TV’s I'm Alan Partridge and Saxondale , to his two films with Michael Winterbottom, 24 Hour Party People and Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story . Which now has me asking something completely different: Who will be heading out to see the ...

Steve Coogan Opens Up About Facial Rape in ‘Hamlet 2′ [Interviews]
Film School Rejects — Early in Hamlet 2, Dana Marschz (Steve Coogan) seems to be down on his luck. His staged production of Erin Brockovich is not testing well with the high school critic and Marschz expresses his feelings by remarking “I feel like I’ve been raped…IN THE FACE!” Not only is this maybe the funniest line I’ve heard in a movie all year, but it’s also an example of the type of irreverence and no-holds-barred attitude this movie displays. I had a chance recently to see the film and meet British comedian Steve Coogan at the AMC Theater near Navy Pier in ...
