Sony Pictures Classics has released the red-band trailer for the Melissa Rauch comedy âThe Bronze,â which includes the promise, âSheâll put the nasty in gymnastics.â
The trailer features half a dozen variations on âfâkâ and concludes with an instruction scene of Rauch telling a younger gymnast how to be cute during a performance. âSell it to the bitch-ass judges,â she commands.
The movie, due out March 11, is Bryan Buckleyâs directorial debut, written by Melissa Rauch (âBig Bang Theoryâ) and Winston Rauch. Melissa Rauch stars alongside Gary Cole, Thomas Middleditch, Sebastian Stan, Haley Lu Richardson and Cecily Strong, and portrays a foul-mouthed former gymnastics bronze medalist who must fight for her local celebrity status when a new young athleteâs star rises in town.

Melissa Leo, Sebastian Stan and Clark Duke have joined Showtimeâs upcoming comedy âIâm Dying Up Here,â TheWrap has learned.
The series about the stand up comedy scene of the 1970s is executive produced by Jim Carrey. If the pilot is picked up to series, Leo and Duke would appear as series regulars, Stan would guest star.
Leo will play the role of Goldie, a brassy comedy club owner who rules over her business with an iron fist and nurtures her comedians with tough love.
Stan will play Clay âa funny, charming comedian on the rise, who declares irrelevancy as his biggest fear.â Duke will play Larry, a ballsy young comedian from Boston who moves to L.A. with the hopes of making it big.
They join previously announced cast members Ari Graynor, Andrew Santino, RJ Cyler, Erik Griffin and Stephen Guarino.
Dave Flebotte will write and executive produce the series. Carrey will executive produce along with Michael Aguilar, and Christina Wayne for Endemol Shine Studios and Assembly Entertainment.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Winter Soldier was a lot more talkative during his Salt Lake Comic Con panel than his masked, brooding supervillain character.
Though fans peppered Sebastian Stan with questions about the upcoming “Captain America: Civil War,” he couldn’t say much about the anticipated schism between the superheroes. His Friday afternoon panel marked Stan’s first solo outing on a convention stage.
Stan did say, though, that he gets to spend a lot of time with Anthony Mackie â who will make his own panel appearance Saturday â and that the action scenes are even better than those in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” That’s coming from the man who tore up Washington, D.C., with grenades, guns and a magnetic bomb.
He also gets to talk a whole lot more.
Of course, in the comics, Bucky comes back around and even assumes the role of Captain America in Steve Rogers’ absence. If Chris Evans were to depart similarly, would Stan rather put on the Red, White and Blues, or give that honor to Mackie, whose character currently is carrying the mantle in the comics?
The talkative Stan grinned and gave a more Winter Soldier-esque: “Myself.”
Whether the movies will let him wield the shield, though, is impossible for him to say.
“I’ll say this: They sure like to dangle a cheese in front of my nose a lot,” Stan said. In both movies, he’s picked up Cap’s shield in the middle of a battle, as a quick homage to Bucky’s tenure as Captain America in the comic books. “They’re like ‘Oh yeah, that’s where you pick up the shield,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’ve heard that one before. There it is again.'”
“But I don’t know. If I could say one thing, if anyone can have anything to do with it, to make it happen, is you,” he added, pointing from the stage to a roaring crowd of about 4,500 fans.
For now, though, he’s still the recuperating soldier, a role he prepared for by researching post-traumatic stress disorder, hearing stories about soldiers having difficulty reintegrating after war and reading the Marvel comics. Storylines about Bucky piecing his memories and life together were incredibly helpful for him.
“And everything about his childhood was extremely inspiring,” Stan said. “I didn’t know that he had a sister who ends up going into an orphanage and later ends up dying of Alzheimer’s. The fact that this whole story with his father, all those things were very real for me and very helpful in terms of pulling a person together.” They showed Stan “the fact that this is why he ends up being used by HYDRA and the Russians and so on, because he comes from a really troubled past.”
Though he hasn’t had many lines to imbue with that pathos, Stan isn’t on cruise control through the silent stretches, either. Music, in particular, helped him “always have something going on.”

I know you were born in Romania. But every time I remember that, Iâm surprised because you play these âall-Americanâ-type roles.
I know. Iâm not quite sure how that ended up, but Iâm happy that people look to me that way. But, yes, Iâm not from here!
Bucky Barnes is the epitome of an âall-American guy.â
But you have to remember that The Winter Soldier has this weird Russian background and his own Eastern European kind of background â and so do I. So itâs a great fit I guess.
The Martian is the most fun movie about being stranded on a desolate death planet that I could ever imagine. It doesnât wallow in its own misery, and it could have done that.
Of course! And I think thatâs one of the great things about it. The movie knows how to make fun of itself a little bit. Like, youâre rooting with him and youâre always aware of the stakes. But, at the same time, thereâs a fun balance of humor there, just letting you kind of remember just how ridiculous this situation is. The fact that this guy is farming in his own sh*t on a different planet. And the movie doesnât shy away from kind of making fun of that.
In something like Cast Away, maybe itâs more frustrating to know there are other humans probably 100 miles away, as opposed to being on Mars where the situation is so extreme, a person might respond with more levity.
I was talking to a couple people last night and they were telling me about how they had three screenings for The Martian when they were editing it. The first screening, the people who watched the movie walked away from it going, âYou know what? He makes fun of everything. I donât buy it. It seems like heâs going to survive.â So, the stakes werenât high enough. Then there was another screening where they took away the humor and it got really serious. And then the third version is the one where they merged the two and they found the right balance â which is why editing is amazing and the key. Thatâs why they are composers, in a way.
There has to be humor for us to relate. Your character in this movie is a genius. All the characters are geniuses.
Yeah, absolutely. And as actors, itâs funny, everyone keeps asking, âDid you do research? Did you talk to NASA?â And, yes, we did research and so on and did our best to learnâŠ
So youâre all set if you get stranded in space.
Not⊠at⊠all. In fact, we all agreed on just how quickly we would die.
The lesson from all of this is, unless youâre an astronaut, do not go to space.
Yeah, maybe not. Itâs just funny to read about all of these privately funded projects. You know, because there are people trying to go there with a one-way ticket. And I go, I hope you know what youâre signing up for. Thatâs six months of radiation for a one-way ticket.
It sounds like they want to try to colonize it, but itâs not really that easy.
I donât even know if people think that far ahead, to be honest.
I donât think that trip is ever going to happen. NASA will go someday.
Of course. And I think it will happen in our lifetime.
