Craig Robinson Grows Horns, Rob Corddry Grows a Moustache in Exclusive ‘Rapture-Palooza’ Pics
When the stakes are high — like, Armageddon high — the clean-shaven look won’t really cut it: what you need in any apocalyptic adventure is a moustache. And lo and behold, Rob Corddry dons one hell of a nose neighbor in these new, exclusive pics from Rapture-Palooza. Corddry’s character Mr. House teams up with his son Ben (John Francis Daley) and the film’s heroine Lindsey (Anna Kendrick) to take on the formidable force of the Anti-Christ… played by none other than Craig Robinson, Corddry’s Hot Tub Time Machine compadre.
These images depict Robinson in truly hellish form: covered in blood, sprouting horns, and spreading propaganda via cheap posters. Check out the pics, and catch Rapture-Palooza in theaters and VOD on June 7. {hollywood.com}

Wow. This girl is going to be buu-sy! She just joined Wish I Was Here, a comedy by Zach Braff. Anna plays Janine, a young woman into Cosplay who is the love interest. Sounds perfect for Anna!
Anna Kendrick Joins Zach Braff’s ‘Wish I Was Here’ Kickstarter Movie
The “Pitch Perfect” star joins recently cast Mandy Pantinkin and Josh Gad in the film.
Anna Kendrick is set to join the cast of Zach Braff’s “Wish I Was Here,” which has been made possible by Kickstarter.
Kendrick will play Janine, a young woman into Cosplay who Braff’s brother, played by Josh Gad, becomes smitten with.
Stacey Sher and Michael Shamberg are among the producers. Worldview Entertainment recently came on to provide gap financing and executive produce.
Kendrick recently starred in the hit comedy “Pitch Perfect” and will soon be seen in “Rapturepalooza.”
Kate Hudson, Zach Braff Now Starring Together In Kickstarter Movie ‘Wish I Was Here’
Kate Hudson and Zach Braff are now starring together in Braff’s Kickstarter movie, “Wish I Was Here,” joining Many Patinkin, Anna Kendrick and Jim Parsons on the crowdsourced project funded by Kickstarter contributions from public donors.
Kate Hudson is set to star opposite director, Zach Braff, in his new indie movie, Wish I was Here, funded entirely from Kickstarter donations, reports Deadline.
The Kate Hudson-Zach Braff combo will be as wife and husband, reportedly, with Hudson set to star as Braff’s character’s wife and mother to his two children. Mandy Patinkin and Josh Gad will play his father and brother, respectively.
Anna Kendrick, of Twilight fame, and Pitch Perfect, is also featured in the indie flick, as well as Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory.
Zach Braff’s co-star on the television show “Scrubs,” Donald Faison, will also appear in the indie film. The two stars of “Scrubs” are best friends forever in real life and play as such on the sitcom.
The Kate Hudson-Zach Braff film, Wish I Was Here had set a goal of $2 million for fiinancing the project, which is set to expire in three days. So far, they’ve raised over that goal, collecting $2,707,334 with time to spare.
Zach explained why he decided to finance his new indie production, and follow-up to his indie hit with Natalie Portman, 2004′s Garden State, with public donations, saying on the film’s Kickstarter page:
“I was about to sign a typical financing deal in order to get the money to make “Wish I Was Here,” my follow up to “Garden State.” It would have involved making a lot of sacrifices I think would have ultimately hurt the film. I’ve been a backer for several projects on Kickstarter and thought the concept was fascinating and revolutionary for artists and innovators of all kinds. But I didn’t imagine it could work on larger-scale projects. I was wrong.”
After Braff saw the incredible way Kristin Bell and series creator, Josh Schwartz, used Kickstarter get Veronica Mars film made, Braff decided Kickstarter was the easiest way to finance his newest independent film with final cut his own.
Braff’s film, Wish I Was Here is, according to Braff himself “the story of Aidan Bloom (played by me), a struggling actor, father and husband, who at 35 is still trying to find his identity; a purpose for his life. He and his wife are barely getting by financially and Aidan passes his time by fantasizing about being the great futuristic Space-Knight he’d always dreamed he’d be as a little kid.”
After the money runs out for his kids’ private school, Aidan decides to homeschool them where the hijinks begin as he takes a less-than-traditional approach to their education.
You can still donate to the Kate Hudson Zach Braff film for the next three days, and then the next time you see it will probably be at a small independent theater near you.

Anna Kendrick: She’s Just a Girl and She’s on Fire
From a booth at the restaurant Birds, actress Anna Kendrick eyes a TV commercial across the room. “How about that pocket hose, huh? It’s a little tiny hose and it gets big. It’s a real space-saver,” she says. “If you have a yard that needs watering, I think you’ve got enough space for a hose. Sorry.”In addition to ridiculing infomercials over lunch in Franklin Village, Kendrick does many other things that adorkable, 27-year-old Angelenos are supposed to do — not because they’re cool but simply because she wants to. She frequents hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurants and art-house theaters like Cinefamily and the New Beverly, sometimes by herself. She uses Instagram, and Snapchat, the latter of which is perfect for celebrities since the images disappear in seconds. She obsesses over the hoarding phenomenon, even hanging out in the Reddit community devoted to discussing the gory details.
She’s done most things right in her career, too, rising to a level of welcome ubiquity that rivals Neil Patrick Harris and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, fellow actor-singer-dancer-comedians who are so likable and of-the-moment that they can do no wrong. Kendrick effortlessly bounces from a Twilight sequel to Joe Swanberg’s upcoming micro-brewing indie, Drinking Buddies, to the in-production film version of the cult musical The Last Five Years. Her solo in the a cappella movie Pitch Perfect — which involved a 75-year-old Appalachian folk song and a cup used as a percussion instrument, a trick she discovered via a video posted on, yes, Reddit — hit No. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Still, Kendrick has a broad self-deprecating streak, which she’s channeled into her million-plus-follower Twitter account. Her most famous tweet implied she masturbated to Ryan Gosling movies (a joke, she clarifies). She sends consistently funny lines like, “Fuck you, recipes that list something chopped, covered in olive oil and baked for 20 minutes as an ‘ingredient.’ I am not Wonder Woman.”
“It’s nice to be able to check in with the universe,” she says. “Like, ‘Hey, I feel this way sometimes — does anybody else? You do? Great.’ ”
Growing up in Portland, Maine, Kendrick’s comedic sensibility was influenced by her father’s gallows Irish humor, which included taking her at age 12 to see Martin McDonagh’s Broadway play The Beauty Queen of Leenane. “We just spent the rest of the night doing quotes from, you know, a funny play about matricide,” she recalls.
At the time, Kendrick was working a few blocks away, starring in the musical High Society and becoming one of the youngest Tony Award nominees ever. She moved to L.A. at 19 and slowly built a career that took off seemingly overnight when she played a pushy consultant in Up in the Air. Her performance was so memorable that she’s had to work hard to keep things fresh. “I actively decided to look for things that were not feisty,” she says of the aftermath. “As recently as this month, I got this script that was, you know, no-nonsense, wearing a business suit, and I was immediately, like, I can’t even bother reading this.”
Despite her stardom, Kendrick shares her home in the Hollywood Dell with roommates, including one she’s had for eight years. Back when they lived in West Hollywood, things were harder — the electricity was turned off, and they were almost evicted.
Recently, she says, “After watching an episode of Hoarders, I was going through my closet and really trying to get rid of stuff.” Kendrick saw black pants and a white button-down she used in the past for catering jobs. “I finally threw them out, like, this month. It was a big step.”
There is a new redband trailer for RapturePalooza, as well as a new production still. I’ve also replaced the other production still with HQ.
The studio just sent us this brand new red-band movie trailer for “Rapture-Palooza” by director Paul Middleditch and starring Craig Robinson, Anna Kendrick, John Francis Daley, Rob Corddry, Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer, Thomas Lennon, Ana Gasteyer, John Michael Higgins and Tyler Labine.Synopsis: When the Apocalypse actually happens and a billion people are raptured up to heaven, Lindsey (Kendrick) and her boyfriend Ben (Daley) are left behind in suburban Seattle. The young couple try their best to lead a normal life surrounded by talking locusts, blood rain showers, and pot-smoking wraiths. But when the Anti-Christ (Robinson) makes his home base in their neighborhood, Lindsey finds herself the object of his affection. With the help of her family, friends, and a lawn-mowing zombie neighbor, the young couple set off to stop the Anti-Christ from taking her as his bride… and just maybe, saving the world in the process. Rapture-Palooza is in theaters and on VOD June 7. {shockya.com}
