That Jason Bateman, in fact, “really longs to direct.” (HuffPo)
Ryan Reynolds wears Paco Rabanne cologne; Jason Bateman also used to wear that, as well as Aramis. (Moviefone)
Although Jason Bateman stated with no uncertainty on “The Daily Show” last night that there was “no significant update” on the Arrested Development movie, and even mocked the “fringe media” for making something out of nothing, the CNN Marquee blog led with, “The progress on the rumored ‘Arrested Development’ movie seems to be coming along slowly, but surely,” even though the actual quote from Bateman suggested very little to that effect. (CNN)
During “Arrested Development,” Jason Bateman never wore underwear. (Moviefone)
Bateman saw a football game, a basketball game, a hockey game and a baseball game during filming in Atlanta. (Collider)
Olivie Wilde didn’t know that her butt would be in The Change-Up until the movie was screened. (Access Hollywood)
Olivia Wilde would swap careers with Robert Redford (MTV), but she’d swapped bodies with “Ryan Gosling’s girlfriend.” (LA Times)
Leslie Mann, separately, also would want to swap body’s with Ryan Gosling’s girlfriend. (MSN)
Reynolds had a difficult time in Atlanta. On the first day of shooting, his trailer caught fire. Then, during “the following month it just sort of snowballed. My hotel room flooded. My dog got sick. I came down with a slight case of divorce - and I broke my pinky finger. (Hollywood.com)
In real-life, personality-wise, Ryan Reynolds thinks he’s somewhere in the middle between the two characters in The Change-up. (Latino Review)
Ryan Reynolds met Jason Bateman when he was 19 years old. He was the first guy in Hollywood to be nice to him. (MSN)
The idea of a blind date gives Olivia Wilde “hives.” (MSN)
Working together was a “dream come true” for Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds. (Belfast Telegraph)
Olivia Wilde likes “to be shocked, likes to laugh real hard.” (JoBlo)
And the award for the most nonsensical response to a question goes to director David Dobkin, who was asked if he got to do any visual gags in The Change-Up:
Yeah, this movie is very visual. I got to do a lot of stuff with the camera, just yesterday there was a scene where… I don’t want to give anything up. I haven’t decided what I’m supposed to say yet or not, but yeah, there’s the opportunity to do that. I tend not to resist a little bit of that, and I think that’s sometimes… I like the R-rating to be out there and really push things, but I think that part of the language of the camera is from a broader sensibility and I think that it makes it feel a little more fun and a little more safe sometimes. Sometimes, I wish not so much, but I kind of can’t help myself. (Collider)

Dear David Dobkins,
Should you decide to embark on a new career at any point in the future, might I suggest a stint in Republican politics? Your rhetoric-to-content ratio implies hidden talents in this particular field.

RyRey and J-Bates were on "Attack of the Show" last night, and the first, oh, three minutes of the joint interview was spent talking about the apparent glory that is Bateman's nether regions. If the movie were just the two of them riffing, like in that promo spot, I'd pay to see this at least four times.
I'll try to link to the video later, the work gestapo blocks all gamer related websites...
Mr. Dobkin just caused a whole lotta shrugging going on.

So ... that pic at the top of a post about Olivia Wilde's naked butt, ry-ry's commandoism and his GF's bod. Really?
Posted by: BierceAmbrose at August 3, 2011 11:35 AM
Who is Ryan Gosling's girlfriend? Google says it's Rachel McAdams and I know that aint right.
(Funny you should ask, Pem. Because I was also curious, and all I could find were rumors from a few months ago that ... Olivia Wilde was his girlfriend. -- DR)

THEY FILMED THIS IN ATLANTA??? How did I let that escape my notice. Both of these guy are on my Freebies list. We could have had something beautiful.

Interviewer: Growing up, what would you say your primary influences in film-making were?
David Dobkins: Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Having tediously watched the tedious interviews (make a slow day go slower) the Ry-Ry's GF bit was a joke. They were being witty, or something.
So unexpected. I completely fell for that. My bad.
Posted by: BerceAmbrose at August 3, 2011 11:46 AM
@ pem: He's allegedly dating Olivia Wilde right now (at least according to a few gossip blogs), so... I don't know what to make of her answer. Maybe they're not dating. Maybe it's a trick answer and he's actually dating a man? And he's interested in a poor-in-money-but-rich-in-love publishing assistant in Boston who would totally be That Cool Normal Significant Other that you sometimes see on the red carpet? And then we can double date with Neil Patrick Harris and his husband?
But I mean... that's all speculation, so who knows.

Like Olivia Wilde doesn't know she the "It" butt right now.
Having read the comments, I now want to switch bodies with Neil Patrick Harris's fiance. I KNEW there was a way of getting around the whole gay thing.

cinekat, my thoughts exactly. I'd love to hear a Sarah Palin - David Dobkin primary debate. Well, read the quotes from it - hearing it real-time would be torture.
Posted by: Pat C. at August 3, 2011 12:06 PM
So the only thing we know for certain is that if Ryan Gosling (is he in this movie, btw?) decided to take applications for a new GF, the line would stretch around the block like it was American Idol auditions.
So I guess Adventureman left Pajiba to direct? Good for him!
Posted by: Internet Magpie at August 3, 2011 1:20 PM
Hey Sass and everyone else who seems confused-I think it was a joke, meant to say she'd switch bodies with whoever Ryan Gosling is dating so that she could in fact be dating Ryan Gosling. I'm hearing the Debbie Downer "wah-waaaahhh" music as I type this.

If they're trying to divert attention away from the fact that this movie looks like utter shite, they are doing a TERRIBLE job.
Posted by: Jessie at August 3, 2011 1:31 PM
What the f*ck was DOBKINS talking about? At least he didn't give anything away.
Posted by: junierizzle at August 3, 2011 1:39 PM
Ryan Reynolds met Jason Bateman when he was 19 years old. He was the first guy in Hollywood to be nice to him.
I am confused by the hes and hims. Was Bateman the first guy to be nice to Reynolds? Or Reynolds the first guy to be nice to Bateman? I would think Jason Bateman's been in Hollywood longer than RyRey, so I'm figuring he was nice to Ryan.
Either way, it's cute that they're friends, and in a silly movie together.
But what's really important is, I would like to swap bodies with Ryan Gosling's girlfriend.

The thought of a blind date with Olivia Wilde gives me happy happy joy joy feelings.
Posted by: John W at August 3, 2011 4:48 PM
I want to go have a beer with those guys.
Preferably outside, to get away from Ry-Ry's Pacco.
