From Hollywood Reporter:

Getting out two days early in front of a packed weekend

Warner Bros. has moved up the release date for its ensemble flick “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2″ two days, to Aug. 6.

Going out on a Wednesday will help “Pants” get out in front of a busy late-summer weekend. And more importantly, it will provide additional time for positive word of mouth to circulate on a pic that’s been playing well in pre-release screenings, Warners distribution president Dan Fellman said.

“It gives us a couple days of extra summer play time,” Fellman said. “So it just looked like a smart thing to do.”

Two rival wide releases are set unspool Aug. 8 — Sony’s Seth Rogen starrer “Pineapple Express” and Lionsgate’s Little League drama “The Perfect Game.” Disney tried a similar Wednesday release with its “Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement,” which unspooled Aug. 11 and rung up an extra $8 million ahead of the following weekend.

Former FRIENDS star Matthew Perry has reportedly reunited with his ex-girlfriend, actress Lauren Graham
Perry, 38, dated the 41-year-old Gilmore Girls actress briefly in 2002 - but they split and stuck to being just good friends.
But they are said to have rekindled their romance, going public with it at TV presenter/comedienne Ellen DeGeneres’ 50th birthday party in Hollywood on Saturday (10May08).
A partygoer tells the National Enquirer, “Matt and Lauren are officially a couple - again. They didn’t hide their affection for each other at Ellen’s party, holding hands, whispering and giggling.
“It was quite apparent to everyone they’re definitely more than just good friends.”

Remeber People, this is only rumor. Nothing was confirm from Matthew and Lauren.

For fans of the “Gilmore Girls,” TV viewing as they knew it ended with a final look through Luke’s Diner window and a much too abrupt goodbye to their favorite characters. Since then, fans have been trying, in vain, to find a show that can fill the shoes left empty by the fast-talking mother-daughter duo. But Lorelai Gilmore — known to many as actor Lauren Graham — has no such problem…

Since the finale, she’s been seen co-starring alongside Steve Carell in “Evan Almighty,” breaking hearts in “The Amateurs,” and supporting her recent project with Matthew Perry, “Birds of America,” at the Sundance Film Festival. I was lucky enough to catch up with her while she was in Philly filming her latest project, “The Dream of the Romans.” We talked about the final “Gilmore Girls” episode and her much rumored return to television.

Fox has closed the book on Amy Sherman-Palladino’s post-Gilmore Girls comeback vehicle, The Return of Jezebel James, after three abysmally-rated outings. A Fox spokesperson confirms that the comedy starring Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose as unlikely sisters has aired its last episode.

OK, time for some Monday afternoon quarterbacking. Who deserves the blame here? AS-P? Fox for burying it on Friday night? The person in charge of integrating that horrible laugh track? Posey for failing to be, well, Lauren Graham?

To the delight of couch potatoes everywhere, Hollywood is obsessed with converting our formerly favorite TV shows into big-screen blockbusters. From “Sex and the City” to “X-Files” to “Arrested Development”, yesterday’s primetime gems could be tomorrow’s box-office diamonds. But what of our other long-lived TV favorites? Could the “Gilmore Girls” rise from the dead to rapidly drench us in dialogue? Will the “Friends” once again return to their fictional world without black people?

We recently posed the question to Mr. Chandler Bing and Miss Lorelai Gilmore, in the forms of the real-life stars who made them iconic.

“I don’t know,” Lauren Graham said of the possibility of seeing the Gilmores on the big-screen someday. “I don’t know who makes those decisions. People always ask me that, and I’m like, ‘I don’t know’.”

“It’s interesting,” explained Perry, who co-stars with Graham in the upcoming family comedy “Birds of America”. “Because everyone’s running around doing different things. I think we’re trying to organize a thing soon.”

Wait? Exclusive! There’s a “Friends” movie in the works?

“No,” he grinned. “I think it would be nice for the six of us to just get together and have dinner.”

“I have like 2 or 3 people left who still kind of care [about my show],” joked Graham. “I don’t know what the ‘Gilmore Girls’ movie would be about, probably because the show wasn’t really about much. Nothing much happened; we just talked a lot.”

Optimistically, she floated the notion of her and Perry joining their collective forces. “Maybe we could bring the casts together,” she smiled, “and do a ‘Gilmore Girls’/’Friends’ movie?”

“We could!” replied Perry enthusiastically. “We could do a movie about how you two were always late to the town meetings.”

“No, I don’t think [there will be a film], not ‘Friends’ anyway,” Perry shrugged, dropping a wet blanket on a Ross/Rachel reunion. “We are trying to arrange [something], much less a whole reunion that’s televised, than we’re just gonna have food together, I think.”

Although it seems like there’s no big-screen reunion on the horizon for either show’s cast, die-hard fans will inevitably still wait for the day they change their minds. After all, they didn’t exactly say “never”, right?

A date with Lauren Graham

Acclaimed actress Lauren Graham, co-star of Evan Almighty, meets with SMU theatre students during two days of conferences and workshops on the University campus Feb. 5-6. The 1992 Meadows M.F.A. graduate received Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for her portrayal of Lorelai Gilmore in “Gilmore Girls,” which ran from 1999-2006 on The WB (now The CW) network. Her next movie, Birds of America, premiered in January 2008 at the Sundance Film Festival; another new film, Flash of Genius, is scheduled for June release. (Photo by Kim Ritzenthaler.)

Birds of America previewed at the Sundance Film Festival, and the previews are starting to come in. As we know, Lauren Graham and Matthew Perry have been there aggressively promoting the film, hoping to see it picked up for US distribution. So far, only two short reviews have popped up:

Moviehole says that the movie is “exquisitely understated, yet deeply and resonantly human” in its exploration of relationships and the fragility of family. Matthew Perry shines in “his best performance to date” and Lauren Graham gives a “luminous performance.” The film is described as smart, poetic, deeply human, remarkable, having a “razor sharp script”, humorous but… moving, and vivid.

The Salt Lake Tribune calls Birds of America “a quirky comedy.”

There are still a few showings of Birds of America scheduled at Sundance, so hopefully we’ll see more reviews come out soon!

A little ‘interview’ about lauren:
Lauren Graham also came in at the last second, and she’s used to having to do a lot of the internal work on her own. She’s very sensitive and private, and these qualities gave her an edge in the story — an outsider quality — that she was able to use. She doesn’t like to be reassured, and when she’s having difficulty, she likes a little bit of room around her. I tried to respect that without abdicating my responsibilities. She had a fine-tuned hypervigilance about not turning her character into a cliché, and there was indeed the danger of that in the text; the wife is such a Swiss-watch of a person, high-strung and better-behaved (outwardly) than the sibs. Lauren functioned as a kind of dramaturge for the well-being of reality and truthfulness in the story itself, and I’m hugely grateful to her. She gives a bravura performance, as you’ll see.

Also there’s a little interview with alexis about her latest movie: ‘Post-Grad Survival Guide’ :

Lauren Graham will be attending the Sundance Film Festival later this month for the premiere of Birds of America, previously known as ‘Laws of Motion’ which co-stars Matthew Perry, Ben Foster, Hilary Swank and Ginnifer Goodwin.

Birds of America will premiere at a luncheon on January 21st. It will have its first public screening (its World Premiere) on January 24th at 5:30pm. Early reviews are very positive for both Lauren and Matthew, and that the movie is a good independent film. The Sundance Film Festival celebrates the best in independent filmmaking.

The movie is about middle-class suburban families - the standard kids grow up and move out thing. But Morrie Tanager (Matt Perry) never got to leave - his parents died and he raised his brother & sister. The family is a bit odd - one a broke promiscuous artist, the other rather antisocial, while Morrie himself is a chronic pleaser. The siblings that Morrie raised are now back under one roof. The movie is about “socialization and growing up when there are no grown ups.” To each character, that means different things.

Lauren Graham plays Betty, Morrie’s wife. The arrival of the siblings upsets the social balance in the house and the tenure the couple are attempting to secure for Morriw in his “repressive career.” Their marriage is on the rocks and the family only spells disaster. Lauren Graham says her character, Betty, thinks the sibligns are “freaks”.
