Opens: 2010
Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sienna Miller, Max Minghella, Emma Booth, Lee Ingleby
Director: Beeban Kidron
Summary: Follows the love story of Oz editor Richard Neville and Louise Ferrier. Neville and his cohorts launch the London edition of Oz amidst the 1960s counterculture and are subsequently put on trial for distributing a sexually explicit issue.
Analysis: One of the most troubled productions in Working Title's history, 'Hippie' began development back in 1998 but failed to get beyond script stage both in 1999 and in 2002 when "Elizabeth" helmer Shekhar Kapur was attached to direct. Filming finally got underway late 2007 with director Beeban Kidron in charge and shooting seemed to proceed without issue aside from feminist author Germaine Greer being vehemently unhappy about being depicted on film.
Actually the film scored quite a bit of free press for a skinny dipping scene where full-frontal shots of actress Sienna Miller shooting the sequence »

When funnymen Craig Robinson ("The Office"), Rob Corddry, Clark Duke ("Greek") and Chevy Chase ("Community") come together for a weekend of fun one can expect almost anything.
Throw in John Cusack and you have a hit no matter what the film's premise -- and this one happens to be all about traveling in time via a "Hot Tub Time Machine." lt looks hilarious but then again, 1986 was a good time, remember?

Here is the second trailer for Steve Pink's new comedy "Hot Tub Time Machine," and while the basic concept sounds funny, this preview doesn't look that hilarious at all. See for yourself after the jump.
This comedy follows a group of childish adults who jump into a hot tub and are transported back in time, to when they were much younger. Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke and Chevy Chase co-star.
The film is set to open March 19, 2010. I remember I saw some awful comedies in March this year, and I can only hope I won't have to experience the same agony again next year. Things are not looking good.
Anyway, jump into this trailer and let me know what you think below. I agree one or two jokes in this trailer made me laugh, but jokes about Facebook or Twitter really don't work for me anymore at all. »

After seeing the latest trailer for next March's Hot Tub Time Machine — in which John Cusack, Rob Corddry, The Office's Craig Robinson and Greek's Clark Duke are transported back to 1986 — are you in or are you out? I'm in: Partly because I want to see what made Cusack sign on for this movie, partly because of Robinson. "Excuse me, miss. What color is Michael Jackson?" he asks, trying to confirm what decade they're in. "Black," she answers, and he runs away screaming. I just hope they find more clever/subtle ways to show us it's the '80s »

We.ve got a new image from the potentially hilarious buddy comedy Hot Tub Time Machine. As you.d expect, the photo features a hot tub with the ability to travel back in time. It looks a lot like a normal hot tub, except with gold, glowy things in the water. I wonder where they keep the Flux Capacitor? In the following photo you.ll see Craig Robinson as Nick, Clark Duke as Jacob, Rob Corddry as Lou, and John Cusack as Adam looking into their method of reaching the past. For more info on Hot Tub Time Machine check out our preview. And just in case you missed it, here.s the new Hot Tub Time Machine trailer which debuted yesterday! »

You guys, we have four words for you: Hot tub. Time machine. What else do you really need to get excited about a movie? After watching this trailer for the new comedy starring John Cusack, Clark Duke, Craig Robinson and Rob Corddry, about four friends who get wasted on vodka-Red Bulls and end up in a hot tub that is also a time machine, we want to time travel to The Future so we can see the Greatest Movie Of the Future right Now. Are you listening, McFly!?! This looks amazing. »

There are some pretty great, and some pretty awful movie titles out there. From something long like Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, some titles just don’t work. Luckily, a few good screenwriters feel the same way, and bring us Hot Tub Time Machine.
The premise sounds pretty much like bliss once you hear the names involved. Four guys decide to bond on a ski trip and party hard all night on Red Bull and Vodka. They continue the night in the house’s hot tub, which transports them to 1986, where hi-jinks then ensue.
The aforementioned names involved are John Cusack, Craig Robinson (The Office, Zach and Miri Make a Porno), Clark Duke (Sex Drive, Superbad), and Rob Corddry (What Happens in Vegas, Harold and Kumar 2). The film basically looks like The Hangover meets Back to the Future, with a little »

Hot Tub Time Machine has a fantastic title...and a pretty funny trailer. Actually, this is the second trailer for the comedy, which hasn't really been acknowledged too much. There was a Red Band, but MGM pulled the plug on it, because if there's a movie studio that sure can't use free publicity, it's the one that's $4 billion in debt.
It's about exactly what the title would make you think it's about: John Cusack and some friends happen upon a hot tub that transports them back in time. There's an admirable cast for this sort of thing, with Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry, and Clark Duke joining The Cuse, who suspiciously has very little dialogue in this trailer. It's mostly dominated by Robinson and Corddry.
Now, with a title like this, your expectations should be lowered significantly. It's like getting drive-thru tacos at 3am and thinking they should taste like something from the Food Network. »

Apparently this is the 2010 comedy everyone is currently latching onto, which has got to make MGM happy considering they aren't exactly having a banner year. The film is Hot Tub Time Machine starring John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke and Lizzy Caplan and it follows a group of best friends have become bored with their adult lives: Adam has been dumped by his girlfriend; Lou is a party guy who can't find the party; Nick's wife controls his every move; and video game-obsessed Jacob won't leave his basement. After a crazy night of drinking in a ski resort hot tub, the men wake up, heads pounding, in the year 1986. This is their chance to kick some past and change their futures - one will find a new love life, one will learn to stand up for himself with the ladies, one will find his mojo, and one will make sure he still exists! »

Hot Tub Time Machine stars Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry, Clark Duke, and John Cusack as four friends who go into a hot tub together and wake up in 1986. The four men seem like an odd group of guys to play friends in a movie, but they are all funny guys so that is a plus. The title of Hot Tub Time Machine lets you know that things are probably going to get stranger and more random in the movie than just the casting.

We really do need more films that take us back to the 80s. What a fun time in the United States when it came to social activities and most definitely style. Ugly more like, but whatever; those Hammer pants were comfortable. Since it is easy to rip on the decade, I can't believe comedies taking place during that period don't surface more often. Seriously. We need more of the 1980s! United Artists has got the right idea with Hot Tub Time Machine.

It's still a bit too early to tell, but there's a chance that Hot Tub Time Machine could end up being next year's The Hangover. They're certainly marketing it as a goofy party comedy for guys, and it stars a number of up and coming actors that are on the verge of becoming big stars like Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, and Rob Corddry. Throw a little John Cusack into the mix, and I'm not quite sure what you've got. The biggest selling point of all is the brilliantly simple title. A full theatrical trailer for the movie has hit the web today, and it seems to mix Harold and Kumar with equal parts Bill and Ted. I'm guessing it will be a movie that divides people with its inane concept, but ultimately it will be the performances that make or break it. Personally I'm just hoping it doesn't rely too much on '80s jokes. »

Hot tubs and time machines would we? You know, in a world where everything has been done before I'm shocked no one's come up with this already. Yep, the full trailer for Steve Pink's new sci-fi comedy, Hot Tub Time Machine, has finally arrived in all it's cheeky glory. Personally I think I liked the foul-mouthed teaser better, but this trailer still made me laugh my a** off and I actually think it could be pretty funny.
Synopsis:
After a crazy night of drinking in a ski resort hot tub, the men wake up, heads’ pounding, in the year 1986. This is their chance to kick some past and change their futures – one will find a new love life, one will learn to stand up for himself with the ladies, one will find his mojo, and one will make sure he still exists!

John Cusack, Rob Cordy, Clark Duke (really? Clark Duke?) and Craig Robinson are four friends looking to spice up their boring party scene. They spice it up all right when a night of drinking in a time machine sends them back to the 80's. The time machine? Not a cool DeLorean, but a hot tub. If I were to go back in time to the 80's the first thing I'd do is kill everyone who I know who screw me over, that way I don't have to deal with them. Then I'd copyright and invent Yahoo, Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. After that, I'd try to buy up that small Pixar company and then invest in stock that I know will blow up in the future. I'd also try to father at least 500 children so I could start my plan of family global domination. I'd also kill the Hiltons so they »

In the beginning, there was something kitschy about the next comedy from Accepted director Steve Pink. Titled Hot Tub Time Machine, the movie follows four friends (John Cusak, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry and Clark Duke) who are transported back to the 80s by a hot tub at a ski resort. Yeah, kitschy, and ripe with potential. After seeing the first trailer -- which MGM debuted on Yahoo earlier today -- I'm convinced that this movie will not only be kitschy and silly, but also uninspired and in many ways downright stupid. This is usually where I would explore some of the alleged humor from the trailer, but I think I will just let you drink it in for yourself below. But know this, there's something terribly unfunny about every moment of this trailer that does not involve Craig Robinson. That does not bode well for the film. Hot Tub Time Machine is in theaters March 19, 2010. »

Take four best buds, toss them in a hot tub for some male bonding and send them hurtling through time, back to 1986. That is the high concept pitch for "Hot Tub Time Machine," starring John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry and Clark Duke. There's a new trailer for it up on Yahoo! Movies, and it's quite funny. Check it out:

The trailer for Hot Tub Time Machine, starring John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry, and Clark Duke, just came online and boy is it awful. I’m trying to take solace in Steve’s report on the red-band trailer he saw at Afm because this green-band version is the kind of that could kill any interest in the movie. The intro is terrible, the jokes are unfunny (the one about inventing a combination of Twitter and Viagra was painful), and the only glimmer of hope was Craig Robinson being his typical amazing self.
My hope is that the film is so raunchy that they just can’t do a good green-band trailer (although that didn’t stop The Hangover) and a red-band trailer will rekindle the interest that this trailer will most likely kill.
If you’re now curious to see this train wreck of advertising (along with a brief synopsis), hit the jump. »

Now this is a comedy I'm excited about - it looks so awesome! MGM has debuted the full-length trailer for their new comedy Hot Tub Time Machine. This combines everything I love: skiing, hot tubs, time travel, comedy, hot babes, fluorescent colored clothing, and beer. I would've gone and seen this without watching any trailers, but man does this look so frickin' hilarious. This is what you get when you put Craig Robinson, John Cusack, Rob Corddry, and Clark Duke in one hot tub - madness! I love the concept (as in, it's not like Bill & Ted where they go everywhere, just back to 1986!) and I love the humor. Totally can't wait to see it! Watch the theatrical trailer for Hot Tub Time Machine: [flv:http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/hot-tube-time-machine-theatrical.flv http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/hot-tube-time-machine-theatrical.jpg 596 336] You can also watch the official trailer for Hot Tub Time Machine in High Definition on Yahoo After a night of drinking Red Bull »
