The trailer for The Adjustment Bureau is available at the official site. Here's the Washington Post's take on the trailer and Matt's upcoming appearance on 30 Rock:
This week: We're loving Matt Damon. This week he appeared in the new trailer for his upcoming movie "The Adjustment Bureau," a film that appears to be ripe with paranoia and freaky guys wearing fedoras. (And we mean that in a really good way.) On May 20, he'll ditch the jaunty hats and don a pilot's uniform to play the (potential) man of Liz Lemon's dreams in the season finale of "30 Rock." Jason Bourne, you're just so darn versatile.
The documentary by Charles Ferguson that Matt narrated about the financial crisis, Inside Job, has screened at Cannes to very strong reviews, including: the Hollywood Reporter, Hollywood Elsewhere and the Boston Globe. New York Magazine claims that Matt's involvement appears to be personally motivated.
But the most effective presence may be the trusted voice of all-American actor Matt Damon, who narrates the furious takedown of the financial services and the government. It's a fairly bold move by the actor.
The Playlist reports that Matt has been offered a role in an upcoming Cameron Crowe project, We Bought A Zoo.
As reported before, Cameron Crowe is now seemingly confirmed to direct the adaptation of Benjamin Mee's autobiographical "We Bought A Zoo" with offers out to Ben Stiller and Matt Damon, according to the latest issue of Production Weekly (the issue itself not online) which has all kinds of little tibits of details on the film.
In what will be Crowe' first film since 2005's "Elizabethtown," Mee's story follows the English author as he uproots his family into the countryside on a property complete with a dwindling zoo, home to over 200 exotic animals. There, however, the family is struck with the tragic cancer battle of the wife and mother whose unfortunate passing going onto inspire the family to rebuild of the zoo, with their relationship to the animals growing into one that ultimately heals the family's wounds and allows them to move forward.
Steven Soderbergh's Liberace project appears to have been re-scheduled until May 2011, according to Rope of Silicon's twitter following an interview with Michael Douglas.
Contagion will be released in 3D on 21 October 2011.
Warner Bros. is running a sweepstakes to promote the release of Invictus on DVD this week. First prize is Matt's rugby jersey from the movie. For details go to the Warner Bros site.

Re: New video
|
I just watched the video. (I really don't understand why the networks here block overseas viewing on their internet sites. What's the point of that, I wonder?)
Anyway, Tina Fey says "Carroll (Matt's character) has a similarly kind of sour, grouchy worldview to Liz Lemon." and she basically talks about the that's Liz falls for him so quickly. (The character Carroll WAS really sarcastic!) Alec Baldwin who is not listed as being on the video actually says more than Tina.
Alec Baldwin is very nice and sincere about Matt, I thought he was going to tell some jokes! He said a few things, but among them: "One of the great gentleman in the business"; "He covers both sides of the aisle, filmmaking wise. He does very clever...I loved The Informant, I thought he and Soderbergh made a fun movie. I envy his career. He's got a great career where he covers all the bases - action, drama, satire. And he came to do our show. When we heard he was going to come do this with us, we were like (he smiles here) remarkable. We're indebted to him. He's a great guy."
Hope that helps. :-)

Re: Save the children event in Greenwich

Matt looks good in those pics. His clothes look tailored to fit him, which sometimes isn't the case, even at his more formal events. The soul patch on the chin is nice, too.
The 30 Rock show - I will be interested to hear what people who watch that program regularly thought of it. I have never seen it (I am a Lost/The Wire/Sopranos drama type fan and don't get much into comedy.)So I'm probably not a good judge of whether that was a good episode or not. It's not one of those comedies with standalone episodes where you can just jump in and follow that week's plot, apparently. (Now I know how my friends who don't watch Lost and The Wire feel when they try to watch them!)
Since I have never seen the show, I thought it was a painfully slow episode as a whole, since I didn't know who the characters were, and they were all talking REALLY FAST. I should have turned the captioning on. Anyway, Matt had one really funny line when he first entered that made laugh out loud, and he danced twice (the Running Man!) during the episode so that was cute. Matt wasn't bad at all - in fact, he and one other character (the NBC intern guy?) were the only ones who held my attention when they were on screen. However, I do think for all that promotion of him being a guest star that Matt should have had a bigger role, but maybe if he does return next season his parts will be bigger.
I just wish he would have done a guest role on The Wire instead. :-)
(P.S. I did like his appearances on Will and Grace and Bernie Mac, and also when he was on Saturday Night Live.)
