Position,Const,Created,Modified,Description 1,rm4204284672,2018-03-20,2018-03-21,"We visited an Atlanta-based set of the comedy [i][link=tt2854926]Tag[/link][/i] and spent time with co-stars [link=nm1159180]Ed Helms[/link] (Hoagie), [link=nm0358316]Jon Hamm[/link] (John Callaghan), [link=nm2159926]Jake Johnson[/link] (Randy), and [link=nm2868110]Hannibal Buress[/link] (Kevin Sable). Before we get into what we learned from the guys, here's the official plot: One month every year, five highly competitive friends hit the ground running in a no-holds-barred game of tag they?ve been playing since the first grade - risking their necks, their jobs and their relationships to take each other down with the battle cry ""You?re It!"" This year, the game coincides with the wedding of their only undefeated player, which should finally make him an easy target. But he knows they?re coming ... and he?s ready. [b][i][link=tt2854926]Tag[/link][/i] will reportedly be rated R and it's currently set to be released in the U.S. on Friday, June 15.[/b]" 2,rm4086844160,2018-03-20,2018-03-21,"[b]The movie is based on true events[/b] In early 2013, [i]Wall Street Journal[/i] reporter Russell Adams published an article entitled ""It Takes Planning, Caution to Avoid Being It,"" an interview/oral history with a group of 10 lifelong friends who have been playing a version of the game tag for 23 years. The article, along with the game's quirky set of rules and ambitious maneuvers, was quickly optioned for the big screen by New Line Cinema." 3,rm4036315904,2018-03-20,2018-03-21,"[b]Jack Black and Will Ferrell were originally set to star[/b] The movie took its first big development step later in 2013 when [link=nm0002071]Will Ferrell[/link] and [link=nm0085312]Jack Black[/link] attached themselves to the project, which was then known as [i]Tag Brothers[/i]. Fast forward two years and the news dropped that [link=nm1301035]Rob McKittrick[/link] ([i][link=tt0348333]Waiting...[/link][/i]) was hired as the screenwriter. While Ferrell and Black would eventually drop out of the project, McKittrick remained and was ultimately paired with veteran TV comedy director [link=nm1762961]Jeff Tomsic[/link]." 4,rm392835328,2018-03-21,2018-03-21,"[b]The creative team gender-swapped a main role and beefed-up screen time for two female characters[/b] In a move to take full advantage of the ensemble cast, Tomsic and his team turned the [i]Wall Street Journal[/i] reporter character into a female and cast [link=nm1834115]Annabelle Wallis[/link] in the role. And the reporter accompanies the crew for most of the movie as she compiles her story. We're looking forward to the reunion of [i][link=tt2345759]The Mummy[/link][/i] stars Wallis and Jake Johnson. The always-funny and adventurous [link=nm0279545]Isla Fisher[/link], who plays Anna, Hoagie's wife, also has a major presence in the movie. It turns out that Anna is a fanatical devotee of the tag game and is at his side during the annual hijinks. " 5,rm3592598528,2018-03-21,2018-03-21,"[b]Day 1 of shooting: Jeremy Renner broke both arms[/b] Remember when Hawkeye fractured his right elbow and left wrist? It was on the first day of filming [i]Tag[/i]. [link=nm0719637]Renner[/link] went back to work later the same day, however, and was in superhero shape when the [link=tt4154796][i]Avengers: Infinity War[/i] sequel[/link] began filming in early August 2017. Also worth noting: Renner plays his character, Jerry, with a wink to his former [i]Bourne[/i] persona. " 6,rm1587229184,2018-03-21,2018-03-21,"[b]Randy has an ulterior motive[/b] Randy (Jake Johnson) who operates a marijuana dispensary in Denver, uses this reunion with the old tag gang as a chance to see his ex, who is played by [link=nm0429069]Rashida Jones[/link]. In fact, there's a bit of a historical love-triangle situation going on that also involves Callaghan (Hamm). " 7,rm1465530368,2018-03-20,2018-03-21,"[b]Carrie Brownstein played along ? but only for a day[/b] [link=nm1247855]Carrie Brownstein[/link] wanted in on the action-comedy, but she could only spare a day on set (the same day we visited, FYI). So what did the production do? She was cast as a therapist who Sable ([link=nm2868110]Hannibal Buress[/link]) consults, only to have their session derailed by Callgahan, Hoagie, and Randy. As with most of the movie's non-action scenes, the actors shot the scene countless times with the jokes getting weirder with every take. Brownstein morphed into the kind of character that would make [link=nm0781238]Amy Sedaris[/link] proud. " 8,rm3949939456,2018-03-21,2018-03-21,"[b]Brian Dennehy, meet Brian Dennehy[/b] In the real-life game of tag, one of the guys is named Brian Dennehy, so of course you have to cast the stage-and-screen vet in a small role, right? At press time we were still trying to discover who the elder [link=nm0001133]Dennehy[/link] plays in the movie ? perhaps [link=nm1159180]Ed Helms[/link]' dad who, as we see in the trailer, passes away? Seems a bit of a downer, but it's possible. Oh, and Jon Hamm plays the fictional version of the younger Dennehy, a Nordstrom executive who was the initial subject of the [i]Wall Street Journa[/i]l article." 9,rm2942822656,2018-03-21,2018-03-21,"[b]Per Ed Helms, there's a little more to the story than Jerry's retirement from tag[/b] While he wouldn't share clear details, Helms let it be known that there's more to the story than the fact that one of the guys is going into retirement. One story aspect that he and his co-stars stressed is that it is in no way cynical; the theme is about friends staying together through the hardships that can come with age. " 10,rm1506824960,2018-03-21,2018-03-21,"[b]One of the ""Silicon Valley"" crew has a cameo in the movie[/b] But we're not going to spoil the surprise."
