#TIFF13: “PALO ALTO”

Published in 2010,  Actor/Director/Screenwriter/Producer/Author James Franco‘s Collection of Short Stories, Palo Alto, was inspired by some of his own memories as a Teen and those stories submitted by the students of Palo Alto High School. The Stories centers mostly on experimentation and Family conflict.  The Film Adaptation of the Book, directed by Gia Coppola (Granddaughter of Francis Ford), will see its premiere at TIFF next week!

See the brand new Trailer below:

Palo Alto stars: James Franco, Emma Roberts, Nat Wolff, Val Kilmer, Zoe Levin and Keegan Allen.

#FIRSTLOOK: “ADMISSION” STARRING PAUL RUDD & TINA FEY

OMG. Finally!  It’s been far too long since we’ve seen Tina Fey on the Big Screen.  This Trailer for Admission starring the Funnywoman and the brilliant Paul Rudd has just surfaced.  Fey plays Portia, an Admissions Officer at Princeton who gets involved with a less-than-ideal potential Student.  Involved of course, not in the romantic sense of the word.

Nat Wolff, Michael Sheen (who worked with Fey briefly on 30 Rock), Lily Tomlin and Toronto’s v. own Dan Levy star also!  Alliance Films releases Admission on March 8, 2013.
