‘Easy A’ EXCLUSIVE Clip: Emma Stone Embraces Her New Skanky Reputation

Easy A

Videos

After a very lackluster summer blockbuster season (let’s face it, “Inception” really was no “The Dark Knight”), we’re really looking forward to the fall and winter movies. We have to wait until October for “The Social Network” and November for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” but fortunately we only need to wait until September 17 for the upcoming Emma Stone’s comedy, “Easy A.”

To make waiting time a little easier, here’s an exclusive clip from the film. You just might fall in love with the entire film (and Emma all over again) based on this two-minute sneak, because we most certainly did.

In case you need a refresher on the plot, Emma plays Olive Penderghast (hence the “I love” comment) whose little white lie about how she lost her virginity hit the rumor mill at her high school. Since she’s reading “The Scarlet Letter” in school, she finds her life paralleling Hester Prynne’s, so she sews on that red ‘A’ and embraces her new bad reputation to advance socially and financially.

Emma totally rocks her performance from what we’ve seen in the clip. We already thought she was great from “Superbad” and “Zombieland,” but this is her first chance to fly solo on a project, and she really made “Easy A” her own. That whole conversation at the end between her and her ex-friend, Rhiannon (Aly Michalka), made us laugh out loud.

But fortunately, Emma doesn’t have to do it alone. We saw Stanley Tucci in the clip as Olive’s father, Dill, and found him to be hilarious. He’s a talented actor to begin with, but we love him in comedies. Plus, “Easy A” also stars Cam Gigandet, Amanda Bynes, Penn Badgley, Lisa Kudrow and, yes, Malcom McDowell. Can this film do any wrong?

“The Help” Synopsis and Set Visit Contest

News & Gossip

The Help is a new upcoming film by writer/director Tate Taylor and starring Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard, Octavia Spencer, Emma Stone and (according to us) Allison Janney! Though the film is still shooting, DreamWorks has already began promoting it and in doing so has launched a contest with iVillage providing fans the chance to visit the set of the movie and meet the all star cast (you can see how little they all are!). Pretty cool if you’re a fan! This is kind of what they did with Twilight, but for some reason it feels a bit less dirty. If you want to enter make sure you send in your copies soon, they HAVE to be received by August 15th in order to be considered!

You can enter the contest at iVillage! The deadline is August 15th!

Check out the official synopsis:

Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, “The Help” stars Emma Stone (star of the breakout hit, “Zombieland”) as Skeeter, a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends’ lives—and a small Mississippi town—upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families. Academy Award® nominee Viola Davis (“Eat Pray Love”) stars as Aibileen, Skeeter’s best friend’s housekeeper, who is the first to open up—to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter’s life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories—and as it turns out, they have a lot to say. Along the way, unlikely friendships are forged and a new sisterhood emerges, but not before everyone in town has a thing or two to say themselves when they become unwittingly—and unwillingly—caught up in the changing times.

Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling novel, “The Help” is a provocative and inspiring look at what happens when a southern town’s unspoken code of rules and behavior is shattered by three courageous women who strike up an unlikely friendship.

Massive Untitled Comedy Goes To Virgin Produced And Gets A Name?

News & Gossip

We’re one step closer to seeing that massive comedy collaboration with Richard Gere, Anton Yelchin, Gerard Butler, Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Anna Faris, Johnny Knoxville, Julianne Moore, Liev Schreiber, Elizabeth Banks, Kristen Bell, Kate Bosworth, Josh Duhamel, Justin Long, Seann William Scott, Emma Stone, Jack McBrayer, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Uma Thurman. As reported by Deadline, the untitled comedy now belongs to Richard Branson’s latest business endeavor, the new production company Virgin Produced.

The film will consist of 19 segments, 14 of which have been shot. Each piece comes from a different director like Steve Brill, Steve Carr, James Gunn, Peter and Bobby Farrelly, Brett Ratner, Banks and Griffin Dunne. Virgin has a deal with Relativity Media to distribute their films, but Relativity is also co-financing this one.

Could this get any better? Apparently it can. Deadline is also saying that the stellar roster is continuing to grow. The portion the Farrelly brothers directed with Jackman and Winslet is already in the can, so it’s being peddled around to pull in even more talent. That segment is being described as “especially outrageous and R-rated.”

Lastly, a Variety article discussing the launch of Branson’s packaging and production company is calling this film Movie 43. Did the untitled comedy finally get a name? It’s possible, but this is the first I’ve heard of it. Actually, it’s not, but the only other article I found using that title includes details that don’t quite correlate with the facts we have. In a Slash Film piece about Relativity’s new streaming deal with Netflix, one of the film’s on the list to hit Netflix and not a premium television channel is “Movie 43, written and directed by Peter Farely.” Spelling error aside, if they’re talking about the same film here, where are the names of the other directors? The press release also states that the film is set to hit theaters this year. With five more segments to film? I doubt it.
