Synopsis: The test of wills between Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) and Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) escalates to new heights of comedy in the third installment of the blockbuster series—Little Fockers. Laura Dern, Jessica Alba and Harvey Keitel join the returning all-star cast for a new chapter of the worldwide hit franchise. It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get “in” with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack’s suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back. When Greg and Pam’s entire clan—including Pam’s lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson)—descends for the twins’ birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he’s fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack’s final test and become the family’s next patriarch…or will the circle of trust be broken for good?

3 New ‘Get Him to the Greek’ Clips, Infant Sorrow To Perform Live In Hollywood!

3 New ‘Get Him to the Greek’ Clips, Infant Sorrow To Perform Live In Hollywood!

Universal Pictures has unveiled three new clips for Get Him to the Greek, which stars Russell Brand and Jonah Hill. The ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ spin-off was written and directed by Nicolas Stoller. Get Him to the Greek is slated to hit theaters on June 4th 2010.

Synopsis: Get Him to the Greek reunites Jonah Hill and Russell Brand with Forgetting Sarah Marshall director Nicholas Stoller in the story of a record company executive with three days to drag an uncooperative rock legend to Hollywood for a comeback concert. The comedy is the latest film from producer Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Funny People).

Aaron Green (Hill) gets things done. The ambitious 24-year-old has been given a career-making assignment. His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.’s world famous Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a huge comeback tour. His record mogul boss, Sergio Roma (Sean Combs), gives him one warning: “The artist is the worst person on Earth. Turn your back on him at your own peril.”

British rocker Aldous Snow (Brand) is a brilliant musician, but due to a bad break up and nose-diving career, has fallen off the wagon and is now a drunken disaster. Weary of “yes men” and scared he’s entered the “greatest hits” moment in his career, Snow’s in the midst of a nihilistic downward spiral. When he learns his true love, model/pop star Jackie Q (Rose Byrne), is in Los Angeles, Aldous makes it his quest to win her back…right before kick-starting his world domination.

As the countdown to the concert begins, one innocent young man must navigate a minefield of London drug smuggles, New York City brawls and Vegas lap dances to deliver his charge safe and, sort of, sound… all while trying to remain faithful to his med student girlfriend (Elisabeth Moss). He may have to coax, lie to, enable and party with Aldous, but Aaron will get him to the Greek.

Infant Sorrow and Friends will be performing songs from Get Him to the Greek LIVE at the Roxy in Los Angeles on May 24, 2010! This one-night-only event will feature appearances by Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, Carl Barat from The Libertines and other special guests. The first 100 people to arrive at The Roxy will receive a limited edition Infant Sorrow T-shirt! Tickets are on sale now at this location >

Keep up to date on the latest from Infant Sorrow! Visit www.infantsorrowband.com and www.pinnaclerecords.net for news, videos and more.

The album Infant Sorrow “Get Him to the Greek” is available June 1 from Universal Republic. Pre-order now!
