The first trailer for “The Dictator” has premiered online, and though it only focuses on introducing the character– there’s no sight of his love interest played by Anna Faris, for example– it’s a pretty damn good way to meet this General Aladeen.
“The Dictator” will be released May 11, 2012.
Take a look at the trailer below.
Last night, Anna Faris was a guest on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”. You can now watch her interview in the two videos below!
PART 2
“What’s Your Number?” star Anna Faris explains her weird obsession with recreating murder scenes, how she loves to provoke her mom and more.
Anna Faris has said that she would like to be in Scary Movie 5.
The What’s Your Number? actress played Cindy Campbell in the first four movies in the horror spoof series.
Asked if she would like to return to the franchise, Faris told Digital Spy: “Yeah, I would. I feel like I got such an education making those movies.
“I loved playing Cindy. She’s so dumb. She couldn’t be less intelligent, that girl. It’s really fun for me to play that role.”
On whether she had been approached by producers to appear in the sequel, she added: “No, not yet. I know that there’s the rumor out there, but I don’t know what’s going to happen with that.”
The new R-rated comedy, “What’s Your Number?” has nothing to do with your telephone.
A young woman panics after reading a magazine article claiming people who’ve had 20 or more unsuccessful relationships have an almost zero chance at finding true love.
Anna Faris stars as a woman who is stunned to learn she’s been way more sexually active than any of her friends.
“I thought guys were the only ones who got together and say ‘this is what I did,’” said Chris Evans. “Girls do that just as much. Girls share just as many details and they are just as raunchy.”
“Yeah you don’t want to know what goes on sometimes,” said Faris.
Evans co-stars as a neighbor who volunteers to help with the quest to find all her old exes to see if one may have been the one that got away.
“If you were dating someone I’d never ask what their number is, that was then and this is now,” said Evans. “How many times have you been in love? How many times have you been in a relationship? I would not ask, I might want to know, but I wouldn’t ask how many people you’ve slept with.”
The film’s sexual subject matter did make for interesting conversations on the set.
“We were all very open,” said Faris.
“I don’t think there was any subject not breached,” said Evans. “We got along and it was a fun cast.”
The film’s R rating also let the cast enjoy a freedom that comes with pushing the ratings envelope.
“I don’t think you want to be gratuitous, you don’t want to swear for no reason,” said Faris. “But I think, especially as a woman, it gives you a lot more room.”
Faris’ real life husband, Chris Pratt, plays one of her former boyfriends. And you’ll also see Blythe Danner and Ed Begley Jr. as her parents.
The film is in theaters on Friday.
If she were a candy, Anna Faris would be a SweeTart.
She appears angelic, batting those wide chocolaty eyes and reverting to a faux-breathy, beatific voice to discuss whether she made her husband, actor Chris Pratt, audition to play one of her exes in the comedy What’s Your Number? That’s when her caustic side kicks in.
“Of course I did,” she quips, pausing for effect. “In the bedroom.”
Faris, 34, has managed to make bawdy endearing and adorable — and sweetly absurd. And she plays to her comedy strengths in this Friday’s Number, which she executive-produced. Faris is a single girl who panics that she might have bedded too many guys and, with the help of her skirt-chasing neighbor (Chris Evans), sets out to reconnect with her former paramours.
Like Ally in Number, Faris seems unaware of her own charms. “She’s completely oblivious to her own talent,” Evans says. “She’s the first person to make fun of herself. She doesn’t know how pretty she is, how funny she is or how smart she is. If she doesn’t know by now, she never will.”
When told of Evans’ praise, Faris covers her face with mock humility. “OK, come on, tell me more,” she purrs.
Faris says she was drawn to Ally because she’ll always go for the underdog. “She felt like a loser. I loved the idea of someone who was sloppy and a bit of a mess,” Faris says.
To her, they’re more interesting and relatable than the typical impeccably coiffed but inexplicably single overachievers you see in films.
“I feel that we don’t see enough (losers) in Hollywood. It’s always this woman who, if she gets drunk, it’s by accident. Maybe she’s clumsy in high heels,” Faris says. “I’m also not that girl. I have a cat that poops on my bath mats every day. And sometimes I clean it up.”
Faris taps you on the arm for effect. “Are you looking for a cat? She’s 20. She’s a catress. She’s from Stuart Little.”
She adopted the elderly cat so the feline could have pleasant, peaceful final days. And that, Pratt says, is typical of his wife.
“She had a very late growth spurt and for a long time was gangly and awkward. She had to develop a sense of humor. She’s so beautiful and talented and funny and has a heart and empathizes for the underdog.”
If anything, Faris would prefer to camouflage her physical attributes on-screen. She just spent the summer in Manhattan shooting Sacha Baron Cohen’s comedy The Dictator.
“I grew out my armpit hair all summer. Have you ever grown out your armpit hair? I hadn’t either. So when they asked me, I said sure. I figured it would be cute and maybe a little wispy and a little blond.
“I don’t know why I thought that — I bleach my hair. It was dark and 3 inches long and super curly. It was so disgusting. I would show it at parties, and people would be too polite to tell me how disgusting that looks. That was the summer of armpit hair.”
Pratt didn’t, ahem, bristle at Faris’ fleece. “It was a huge turn-on — and not because I’m attracted to armpit hair. It’s because she’s willing to go so hard for a joke. That, to me, was really sexy. She was willing to spend the entire summer in shirts that were at least half-sleeve in length — all for one gag. That shows focus and dedication.”
In the wake of this spring’s Bridesmaids, which earned a staggering $169 million domestically without a single male lead, studios are more open to raunchier female comedies, which are Faris’ passion.
“It’s exciting that things are shifting,” she says.
In her upcoming romantic comedy “What’s Your Number?” Anna Faris stars as Ally Darling, an unlucky-in-love young woman who endeavors to track down all of her ex-boyfriends in order to avoid a 20th sexual relationship (which would totally jinx her love life). But before she gets the chance, she’ll have to contend with one specific ex: “Let’s Talk About Ex, Baby!” our latest installment of After Hours.

Anna guests with “Jersey Shore” star Vinny in this talk show dedicated to all things ex. So what has Anna learned about love from watching the MTV reality show? “I think alcohol is a wonderful tool for romance,” she joked. “And if you call something smooshing, it sounds so innocuous.”
“What does that mean?” a confused Vinny asked. “I don’t know what innocuous means.” Looks like Vinny should stow away Merriam and Webster on his next trip to Seaside!
