The Frat Pack is the unofficial name for a group of actors who have appeared in numerous films together. These appearances are often in supporting or cameo roles, and the films share an absurdist sense of humor.
The name was coined by USA Today and is a reference to the "Brat Pack" of 1980's actors and of course Frank Sinatra's "Rat Pack" group from the 1960's. The Frat Pack name is also a reference to group's movie Old School.
The Frat Pack are Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell, Owen and Luke Wilson, Jack Black, and Steve Carell.
This site also covers projects from Frat Pack Friends including Team Apatow, the group of actors associated with Judd Apatow. Team Apatow includes Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, and others.

Russell Brand Interview
"Well, I love the name. We've made over twenty-five thousand T-shirts
that say, "Get on board, the Frat Pack train is leaving the station."
We're going to work on the slogan. But it's catchy. It's fun. It's now."
Will Ferrell (zapit.com interview)
"I don't know if that will stick or not. I can see what they're talking
about. It is good to work with people that you know and enjoy their work and
are creatively are stimulated by. I don't know Frat Pack, though. I never
went to college."
Ben Stiller (BBC
video interview)
"The Frat Pack is more than just a name. We're a real organization.
We've had a few meetings in Elko, Nevada. We talk about our upcoming projects,
discuss initiating a few new members and spend a lot of time hazing one another.
On some nights you can hear the paddles echoing through the canyons."
Luke Wilson (Playboy, July 2006)
"That’s awesome, but not by design. The Wilson brothers, Will
Ferrell, Jack Black and Ben Stiller and I never planned that, it’s just
one of those things that happened. They are all people that I think are funny
and smart. It’s especially fulfilling to work with people that you respect."
Vince Vaughn (BuyMagazine
interview)
"I really wish that we had secret headquarters where there was a batcave
in the Hollywood Hills mountain, like inside the Hollywood sign, where we
would drive in and talk about domination of world comedy. We'd have superpowers
and drive out in our super-comedy mobiles. But it doesn't exist."
Jack Black (Sports
Illustrated)
“It was Ben Stiller who called up all the top comedians to his headquarters
in the Hollywood sign. We meet there and talk about what our plan is to dominate
the world of comedy. Tim Robbins works the door and we all have frat pack
comedy helicopters. They come out of the O, the O lifts up and out we come,
and we meet there and we talk about what our plan is to dominate comedy. Will
Ferrell - you take the new Christmas movie. Jack - you go rock."
Jack Black (Sligo
Weekender)
"There's a perception that we all have a secret society and go off to
an undisclosed island once a year to decide the fate of comedy."
Will Ferrell (San
Francisco Chronicle)
"The only common denominator in all this is Ben Stiller, who has found
work for all of us."
Vince Vaughn (AZ
Central)
"Owen and Ben are friends, and me and Will are friends, and Jack Black.
I'm glad to be included in it, because those are some of my favorite guys."
Luke Wilson (People Magazine, January 9, 2006)
"I don't think there's a sinister conspiracy. It seems more like a common-sense
thing. When you're casting a movie, you cast people that you know and are
comfortable with and think can do it."
Owen Wilson (New
York Daily News)
"It doesn't really exist this Frat Pack. We run into each other on occasions
and we all like each other's films, I guess, but there isn't some big funny
restaurant or bar where we all hang out. At least, if there is, they haven't
invited me. I wasn't in You, Me And Dupree, Owen's last movie, and none of
them was in Talladega Nights with me and actually, nobody gives a shit."
Will Ferrell (Observer
Magazine)
"I have no idea where that title came from but we're all friends. We've
just been doing some movies, which started to become some movies that made
some money... that's it. There's no club or anything.You want to get the funniest
people and, if anything, it's become a hindrance because all these guys are
so successful, I can't afford to work with them!"
Ben Stiller (Cosmo
U.K., January 2007)
"See, I'm in the big leagues now. I'm in a category with the Vince Vaughns,
the Owen Wilsons, and the Ben Stillers. I'm one of those guys now, raking
the box office numbers. I'm not bragging, but it's not bad to brag, when you're
just like Jack Black but better. Hey, move over, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn,
out of my way. I hear Stiller's a big kiss-ass, and Owen Wilson is gay!"
Steve Carell (Saturday
Night Live, September 2005)
Who would win in a fight, the Frat Pack or the Rat Pack?
"Definitely the Frat Pack. Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn are both huge
and my brother Owen is pretty scrappy. Jack Black would bite you on the cheek.
But you'd have to take into account Sinatra's connections."
Luke Wilson (Maxim, May 2007)
"People ask if that bothers me and I say, “Shit, maybe it bothers
somebody like Ben [Stiller] or Jack Black.” But I just feel lucky to
be included in the group. What’s good about it is that every one of
these guys gets his own thing done. When you’re able to get your own
thing done, it does make it easier to say, “Hey, do you mind if I use
Will [Ferrell] in this part?” Or for Ben to have Owen do a part, and
Vince [Vaughn]…. But it’s comedy, so maybe people think, “Oh,
boy, who’s gonna pop up in this?”"
Luke Wilson (Los Angeles Confidential, May 2007)
"I couldn't be happier to be included with those guys. I really like
the fact that Will and Ben and Vince, they make their own movies. I've never
even met Steve Carrell but 40 Year Old Virgin, whenever that's on cable I
watch it every time it's such a good movie. I don't know, I just think they're
real funny guys. You gotta be wary, you feel that sometimes people try to
knock it by calling it the "Frat Pack" like it's a negative thing,
but those guys, I really feel like they are super talented and smart and funny.
Somebody like Will, you know, I love the idea that he tries to make his own
movies. It's the same with Vince and Owen and Ben. Cause you can obviously
just act in movies and make a living but these guys I think they want to make
stuff thats important to them.
Luke Wilson (Ain't
It Cool News)
"I love it! All of them I think would like to destroy that thing, but I love it. I think those guys are great and I'm in there? Yeah! I'm the only card-carrying member that actually shows up for Frat Pack meetings!”

Frat
Pack NewsNew Talladega Nights DVD Edition Coming in July
by Kevin Crossman
With Will and John reuniting for Step Brothers in late July, I guess we should have seen this one coming. There's a new Talladega Nights DVD coming to stores on July 15.
The new 2-disc Revved Up Edition of Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is unrated and features an all-new added value disc!
Hilarious never-before-seen special features including 10 additional deleted scenes, interviews with Ricky and Jean, raw takes, Writer/Director Adam McKay’s Video Diaries, cast auditions and more!
Thanks to Greg Mariotti for the tip.
Seth Rogen News
by Kevin Crossman
There are several Seth Rogen news items this week:
Kevin Smith updated his blog with a new image Zack and Miri Make a Porno and said that the first test screening will be held this coming Tuesday. An Internet-only trailer is expected soon. Smith confirms he will be at the San Diego Comic Con on the 25th in the "big room," which is likely a panel discussion. Expectations are that Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogen will most likely be in attendance. Empire has further script details:
Tropic Thunder and Step Brothers Take Golden Trailer Awards
by Kevin Crossman
Ben Stiller's all-star summer comedy Tropic Thunder won the award for Best Comedy Trailer at the 9th Annual Golden Trailer Awards. The picture was nominated against Forgetting Sarah Marshall,
Juno,
Meet Bill, and
Pineapple Express.
The Will Ferrell comedy Step Brothers won the award for Best Comedy Poster, against nominees Evan Almighty, In Bruges, and Semi-Pro.
Speed Racer Does Not Star Jack Black
by Kevin Crossman
Just a reminder. Besides the fact that Speed Racer is an awful movie, Frat Pack fans are under no obligation to see this movie.
That's Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) playing the title character. It's not Jack Black like you might have thought. Thought I should let y'all know, just in case.
I guess Vince Vaughn was smart to drop out of the project (he had been long associated and tapped to play Racer X). The movie is the first bomb of the summer.
Take our Summer Movie Poll
by Rick Duran
The Frat Pack and their expanding clique have some huge releases scheduled for Summer 2008. Which are you most excited about?
Steve Carell Interviewed in Playboy
by Kevin Crossman
Our friends at Playboy gave us the heads-up that this coming, and then let us know that their interview with Steve Carell is now available on newstands everywhere (well, not every-where, but you know...).
The June 2008 issue features a great interview with Steve, including this excerpt.
What's at the core of Michael [Scott]'s behavior? Does he crave the spotlight?
Well, sure, but everyone wants a moment to shine. It's a very human quality. Even the most reserved and shy people love the spotlight every once in a while. You know what I liken it to? On the game show Deal or No Deal, when the contestants are given the choice of walking home with $300,000 or possibly getting $375,000, I believe part of the reason they stay is that they're the star. It's not about the money at that point. I was watching an episode a few weeks ago, and one contestant said something I thought was very telling. She was offered a pretty good deal, and she said, "I don't want to leave." She was the center of attention. It's the same for Michael. He is the focus of this documentary. Camera crews follow him around all day. He embraces it, and it gives him a sense of importance he would not otherwise have. It's kind of the best and worst thing that's ever happened to him.
Lastly, because this is Playboy and all, I am legally required to make fun of the sexual pantomime in the photo of Steve.
Jonah Hill Appearing in Night at the Museum 2?
by Adam Stevenson
The possible role for Jonah Hill in Transformers 2 as Shia LeBeouf's college roommate / sidekick has thankfully fell through, but even better news has arrived in which he may have a cameo in Night at the Museum 2.
If he's going to play a historical figure, I've got some ideas for what his role could be:
The Henry Poole One-Sheet is Here
by Kevin Crossman
Props to our editor Amy Gilbert for finding this one. It's the incredible poster for Luke Wilson's feel good summer comedy, Henry Poole is Here. The indie flick is scheduled to open on July 25, 2008, the same weekend as Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly's Step Brothers. But you know what? I'm actually looking forward to Henry Poole more than Step Brothers. Okay, as several have pointed out the release date is now August 15th, which means it's now going up against Tropic Thunder. Now, I'm not going to lie and say I'm looking forward to Henry Poole more than Tropic, but I'm still super excited to see the film.
Click on the poster to check the Henry Poole trailer and MySpace site.
McKay Confirms Anchorman 2
by Kevin Crossman
You know, if we posted every time we heard a rumor about a Crashers 2 or Old School Dos we'd never post any real news. A sequel to 2004's Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is usually mentioned in the same breath, but this time it might be different.
Anchorman writer/director Adam McKay was interviewed over at Collider, and he had this to say about an Anchorman sequel.
Adam McKay: I'm looking to do another movie, I might do this other movie called Channel 3 Billion which is kind of this science fiction/Brazil type comedy. Then after that, Will and I are like let's do Anchorman 2…so you're talking like 2 years maybe we'll do it. But we're going to do it, for sure.
Collider: That's like 100%?
Adam McKay: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're dying to do it. Unless we can't get the cast together, which is always kind of a tricky thing. But, I think, with that cast we're all friends, so yeah, we want to do it.
This still seems a bit uncertain, and it sounds like a script hasn't even been written yet. Plus, Anchorman kind of tied up the storyline after the events that concluded at the San Diego Zoo, so a sequel kind of seems redundant. But, if the script was great I'm sure all the members of the news team would reassemble including Steve Carell. Let's just hope Owen Wilson is free for a cameo this time.
Buzz Building for Tenure with Wilson, Mol, and Koechner
by Kevin Crossman
Big props to Laura Telles for setting us hip to the Rosemont College Blog. Rosemont is one of the schools where Tenure is filming with Luke Wilson, Gretchen Mol, and David Koechner. Yes, that's Koechner (Anchorman, Semi-Pro) on the left sporting a beard in these photos posted to the blog.
The movie is a romantic comedy set in the world of collegiate academics, where Wilson's character must battle Mol's for tenure at fictional Grey Collge. The movie's director Mike Million sat down with Koechner in this interview seen on YouTube.
I gotta say I think the premise of this movie sounds great, especially considering the talents of the three principals. Mol was superb as a sexy librarian in The Ten, so I think she'll be a great foil for Wilson. And we couldn't be happier to see Koechner latch onto a plum supporting role similar to Rainn Wilson's in My Super-Ex Girlfriend. The movie is scheduled for release in 2009.
Tribute senior editor also wanted to chime in with sentiments we endorse:
I'm getting way too ahead of myself, especially since the movie (considering Luke's track record) could tank, but is it possible that Tenure might wind up being an Frat Pack classic? I was looking at the pics Laura posted and it certainly seems like this is a larger role for Koechner than even Anchorman.
Too soon to tell (and performing worse than Walk Hard or Pick of Destiny won't help its case) but Tenure is definitely on my radar.
Owen and Jen Take in a Ballgame
by Kevin Crossman
That's Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston filming a scene from Marley and Me at the Florida Marlins baseball game last evening.
According to a report on MLB.com, here's how the scene went down:
A backdrop to the Marlins beating the Padres, 6-4, on Friday night was the shooting of a scene for the upcoming movie "Marley & Me," starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson.
Friday was a "Bark at the Park" night for the Marlins, a promotion through which fans can bring their dogs to the stadium. And as it happened, a dog running on the field is part of a scene in the movie, which is set to be released on Christmas Day.
Aniston and Wilson were at the ballpark, filming a few scenes. The first took place in the stands, with a dog racing down the aisles, Wilson and then Aniston in pursuit.
And after Hanley Ramirez of the Marlins was thrown out trying to steal third base, ending the eighth inning, Wilson and Aniston surfaced again, chasing after a dog in left field.
Players were leaving and entering the field but momentarily stopped as the two actors finally grabbed the dog and were whisked away. The segment lasted about a minute and didn't interrupt the game.
Frat Pack and baseball fans may remember that Jennifer Aniston filmed a memorable scene at Wrigley Field for The Break-Up with Vince Vaughn. Thanks to our tipster Justin Roberts for the heads-up on this story.
Jon Favreau Interview
by Kevin Crossman
Here's a great interview with Frat Pack Friend Jon Favreau (Elf, The Break-Up), who's blockbuster action movie Iron Man is now playing in theatres. Check it out and thanks again to our friends at ReelTalk for the link.
The Promotion Poster
by Kevin Crossman
Formerly titled Quebec, The Promotion has been getting great buzz after wild applause at SXSW in March. The comedy starring Seann William Scott and John C. Reilly is scheduled for release on June 6, 2008. Here's the incredible one-sheet for the film.

New Step Brothers Stills
by Kevin Crossman
Direct from the MySpace site. Step Brothers opens on July 25, and is Adam McKay's follow-up to Talladega Nights. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly play two step brothers in the raunchy R-rated comedy that we're really looking forward to.
Mike Judge's Next Film Stars Jason Bateman
by Adam Stevenson
When people hear that Office Space creator Mike Judge is directing another workplace comedy, a sequel to his cult classic is the first thing that comes to mind. Instead, his next flick, Extract, will be a comedy starring Jason Bateman, about a guy who "explores what it's like to be the boss when everything seems to be shifting around you."
Extract will be written and directed by Judge and under Judge's new team, Ternion Productions, which he formed with writer-producers John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky. (Variety)
Vince Vaughn Visits Owen Wilson in Miami
by Kevin Crossman
We try not to add much fuel to the tabloid fire here on the Tribute (heck, we didn't even promote Ben Stiller dropping Blue Steel over at TMZ.com). But, this story is too good to pass up.
Yes, that's Vince Vaughn spotted over the weekend spending some quality time with Wedding Crashers costar Owen Wilson who is Miami filming Marley and Me with Vaughn's ex, Jennifer Aniston.
It's unclear what Owen and Vince are discussing. Perhaps Owen is trying to play matchmaker. Or, maybe there was some Wedding Crashers 2 talk, thanks to disappointing box office for Fred Claus and Drillbit Taylor. Of course, sometimes a visit it just a visit. At least Vince kept his pants on, unlike Owen's last brofriend visitor, Woody Harrelson.
Amy Peohler and Will Arnett Are Expecting
by Kevin Crossman
I guess we can't avoid the Baby Mama jokes, especially with the film opening strongly at number one this weekend. So, here we go...
Amy Pohler is now a real-life "baby mama," now that her rep Lewis Kay confirmed that she and her husband and fellow Frat Pack Friend Will Arnett are now expecting. Coindicentally, hardcore Frat Pack fans will recall pregnancy was the theme of Arnett's recent underrated comedy The Brothers Solomon ("Let's make a baby for Dad!").
The child is expected in the late Fall, putting into question Peohler's SNL schedule for the fall. The couple have been married since 2003, and last year costarred as brother and sister in the Frat Pack comedy Blades of Glory.
The Frat Pack Tribute is sending our best wishes to Will and Amy for an healthy and happy pregnancy.
Steve Carell On the Cover of Wired
by Kevin Crossman
Looks like Steve is starting to get the promo push out for Get Smart, coming to theatres on June 20th. He's now the coverboy for a brain-oriented series of articles in Wired (brain... Get Smart... get it?).
Steve's article is "Steve Carell on How to Act Brilliant" and includes some advice from the man.
Wes Anderson Takes Darjeeling Limited to the Bank
by Mario Bernengo
The Darjeeling Limited is now officially Wes Anderson's most successful at the box office film to date - overseas, that is. As Wes moves further into Woody Allen box office territory, he proves that Europe loves America's auteurs as much as Americans seem indifferent to them.
The director's latest feature, the all-but-ignored The Darjeeling Limited, possibly his best film thus far, underperformed to the tune of $11,897,548 in its limited stateside release, putting off moviegoers who were often forced to drive to the next town to catch the India-set comedic drama starring Frat Packer Owen Wilson, whose "incident" last year coincided with the film's September 2007 world premiere at Venice - where it won The Lion Cub - and excluded him from the promotion of the film, immediately stirring a debate among insiders over whether the Owen-heavy headlines would "help" or "hurt" the film's financial success. In the end, the entirely inappropriate discussion was probably a zero sum game - the problem was a release that merely - and very briefly - reached 698 theaters.
In the rest of the world, however, Darjeeling recently surpassed The Royal Tenenbaums as Wes Anderson's most successful film ever overseas, earning $19,400,682 compared to Tenenbaums' $19,077,240. The public's enthusiastic response has been accompanied by rave reviews and even a couple of awards for the director. Besides winning Venice's Lion Cub - chosen among Italy's school children - this genuinely American yet europhile storyteller scored once again at Stockholm later in the year, winning The Visionary Award (and baffled the audience by holding his acceptance speech entirely in Swedish).
The trend is clear, especially if you take into account that the director's domestic and foreign gross percentages have been inverted since the release of The Royal Tenenbaums. While the foreign 19 mil of that film made up just 26.7 % of the total earnings, the same sum for The Darjeeling Limited constitutes a whopping 62% of its total.
So, will Wes follow Woody - with whom he curiously shares the initials WA - over the pond? It's a shame that such original filmmakers find it so hard to reach the audience they deserve at home, but it seems that Europeans, Australians and South Americans will make sure they get to keep making movies.
Old School recut as: The Harrison College Kidnappings
by Kevin Crossman
Kind of a slow news week in Fratville. Here are a couple tidbits:
So, our feature today is an incredible mashup of Old School that we stumbled across on YouTube. "There's a kidnapper/killer on the loose at Harrison College...and time is running out." Great stuff, says we!
Semi-Pro Bear Kills Trainer
by Kevin Crossman
Sad news today. Rocky the Bear who appeared in Semi-Pro with Will Ferrell attacked and killed a trainer. Three experienced handlers were working with the grizzly Tuesday at the Predators in Action wild animal training center when the bear attacked Stephan Miller, 39, said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Beavers.
The bear scene was a highlight of an otherwise mediocre Ferrell sports vehicle. There is more information about the story, as well as a YouTube video of the scene available at The Huffington Post.
Hill/Brand in Get Him to the Greek for Stoller/Apatow
by Rick Duran
Russell Brand hinted at this project in our interview with him, and now Variety has details a new Apatow production with two of the stars of Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" helmer Nick Stoller is reteaming with Judd Apatow and Universal Pictures for the comedy "Get Him to the Greek," with Jonah Hill and Russell Brand attached to star.
Stoller has been tapped to write and direct the laffer, which centers on a fresh-out-of-college insurance adjuster (Hill) who is hired to accompany an out-of-control rock star (Brand) from London to a gig at L.A.'s Greek Theater.
Hill and Brand played supporting roles in U's "Sarah Marshall"; Stoller made his feature directing debut on the pic. "During the table read on 'Sarah Marshall,' Jonah and Russell had such a great chemistry," said Stoller, who described "Greek" as a very dirty take on "Almost Famous." "Even though they are such different actors with different styles, I thought there could be a great buddy comedy there."
Stoller is co-writing and will direct the comedy "Five-Year Engagement" for Universal, with Jason Segal co-writing and attached to star. He and Segal are also collaborating on "The Muppet Movie" for Disney. Stoller's writing credits include the forthcoming Jim Carrey starrer "Yes Man." (Variety)
"A dirty take on Almost Famous" was the selling point for me.
New Tropic Thunder Photos

More great images from Tropic Thunder were released yesterday.

Entertainment Weekly recently predicted Thunder would be the biggest comedy of the summer. Let's hope the R rating doesn't prevent people from checking out the latest true Frat Pack film with two Fratters in starring roles.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a Hit
by Kevin Crossman
Looks like Team Apatow is back on track, with Judd Apatow's latest production Forgetting Sarah Marshall opening strongly at number two with an estimated $17.4 million. While this is less the openings from previous Apatow summer comedies The 40-Year-Old Virgin ($21.4M), Knocked Up ($30.7M), and Superbad ($33.1M). However, it was stronger than the debuts of the most recent Apatow productions, Walk Hard ($4.2M) and Drillbit Taylor ($10.3M).
There's no doubt that Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a must-see. You'd do well to see this in the theatre too, as the big screen does justice to the Hawaiian locations. Plus, the big screen does amazing things to the mesmerizing eyes of Mila Kunis (pictured above with Jason Segel). I never really vibed on her on the small screen but on the big screen she's absoutely stunning and moreover brings a powerful portrayal to what could have been a typical role. It's really an Earmuff worthy performance!
Plus, there's a crowd-pleasing end credits sequence featuring a major (and non-Apatow regular) Frat Pack friend that's a hoot. So, go see the thing okay?
If you can't get enough Forgetting Sarah Marshall, check out the coverage over at Manny the MovieGuy who scored a bunch of interviews in Hawaii with the cast and crew.
Luke Wilson's Comeback... a Drama?
by Kevin Crossman
There's finally a trailer for Luke Wilson's next film, Henry Poole is Here. We haven't heard much about the movie aside from some Sundance buzz but a MySpace site/trailer for the film is now available.
Here's the synopsis:
"Luke Wilson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Old School), Academy Award® nominee Adriana Barraza (Babel) and Radha Mitchell (Finding Neverland) star in a modern day fable about the unexpected wonders of the everyday from director Mark Pellington (U2 3D, The Mothman Prophesies). Henry Poole is Here tells the funny, poignant and uplifting story of a disillusioned man who attempts to hide from life in a rundown suburban tract home only to discover he cannot escape the forces of hope."
The film is scheduled for release on July 25, 2008 and we're really excited about this movie. Wilson looks great and it seems that it might have that crowd-pleasing mix of drama and comedy that made hits out of Little Miss Sunshine and Juno.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall Opens Today
by Kevin Crossman
Yeah, I guess we've been pimping this pretty hard ever since we first heard about the movie and then were invited for a set visit last summer. But, the movie is finally hitting theatres here in North America, and it's been getting rave reviews. Our reviewer Rick Duran gave the film 5 beermugs and called it "the funniest film so far this year."
So, be sure to check out Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, and the rest of Team Apatow now in theatres. If you've seen the movie, leave comments on our message board.
