At the San Diego Comic-Con this year, DC Entertainment premiered the trailer for their upcoming film Red, based off the 3-part limited comic release from Homage Comics.
To promote their new film, Dinner for Schmucks, Steve Carell appeared on Zach Galifianakis’s show Between Two Ferns… super funny. Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: Steve Carell from Between Two Ferns
