Nov 18 2009 Jason Lee Has More Than Infinite 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' Squeakuels on His Plate
I'm happy to report Jason Lee has not been completely broken by his experiences acting alongside CGI chipmunks. The former My Name is Earl star (I just now found out My Name is Earl is no longer being made) has two television shows and a directing project in the works. From The Hollywood Reporter:
The hourlong "Delta Blues," from Clooney and Grant Heslov's Smokehouse Pictures and Warner Horizon, centers on Dwight Hendricks (Lee), a Memphis police officer who lives with his mother and moonlights as an Elvis impersonator.
Sounds quirky!
Then there's this, also:
As for Lee's other projects in the hopper, along with Luke Watson, he co-created and is producing a live-action comedy for Adult Swim set in the world of skateboarding. Lee also is attached to direct and star (in second position to "Delta") in the comedy, now in development.
Smells semi-autobiographical!
And this:
Produced by Matt Berenson, "Get Back," which Lee will direct, tells the story of two music-obsessed friends who time travel back to 1966 London, where one gets caught in a love triangle with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Tastes... strange? If I was going back in time to interact with John Lennon, my first thought would probably be to, I don't know, maybe stop his being murdered or something. But I suppose attempting to steal his wife also has its merits.
Sep 5 2008 Yay! U.S. Getting the 'Boosh'
Have you ignored my command for you to illegally download or move to Britain so that you could enjoy the surreal comedy of The Mighty Boosh? Well, your laziness/stubborn reluctance has paid off... this time. It turns out Adult Swim is going to start showing it come January. Hooray for America, continuing to catch up with British comedy by swiping it. Let's take Snuff Box next.
Thanks to Caitlin for the tip, and for the implication she would marry me.
