Entertainment site Collider.com has posted nine clips from Mad Money and two feature our favorite thespian. The fourth clip on page 1, “Czechoslovakia,” has just a wee bit, but “The Bob Fund,” Clip #9, which can be found on page 2, is quite Adam-centric and is well worth checking out.

While we’re at it, the Apple staff might as well draw our faithful readers’ attention to Beth’s comment from yesterday’s post, noting that Katie Holmes will be on Live with Regis and Kelly on Monday the 14th with Ted Danson appearing on the 16th and Queen Latifah finishing it up on the 17th. We’ll fire up the ol’ VCRs in the hopes of catching any stray Adam mention.

Beth also drew our attention to an upcoming Unscripted Moviefone interview that will feature MM’s trio of felonious females. If you have a query you’d like to posit regarding Adam or anything else, post it here in the comments section before January 12th.

Coming up this week: A friend of the Apple has procured a copy of the Starz! On the Set segment spotlighting Mad Money, which apparently features another Adam tidbit or two. We’ll get that up and running as soon as we can.

Twelve days out from the debut of Mad Money, there’s been quite a lot of promotion for the film, interviews, TV spots, a couple generally positive reviews, mostly focusing on everybody but Adam. But we do have these two new action shots of our boy at work, courtesy of imdb.

The Mariah fan brigade once again alerts us to news of Adam’s upcoming star turn, Tennessee. The New York-based Elephant Eye Films has just added the film to its sales roster and produced a spiffy new poster that unfortunately jettisons the pretty blueish-green scheme that complemented the Apple’s coloring so well, but soothes our disappointment with a big fat shot of our boy smack dab in the middle of a Peck-Carey sandwich. Will the announcement of a “Winter 2008″ release date soon follow? Fingers crossed.

Thanks to Mariah Carey’s Site for the image.

Update (December 16, 2007):
Commenter Marcin directed us to a larger version of the poster, so we switched the original out. Thanks for the artwork. We’ll also note that the consensus on the Mariah sites appears to be that this is probably not the final poster and is just another placeholder.

We’re heading into the home stretch for Mad Money (46 long days away!), so let’s take a spin through all the latest Adam Rothenberg developments.

The eighteenth season of the apparently unkillable Famous Original entry in the Law & Order franchise will benefit from a very special appearance by our Adam, along with Lara Flynn Boyle and new series regulars Jeremy Sisto and Linus Roache. L&O’s making a comeback to Wednesday nights on NBC starting on January 2nd, so Episode #7, “Submission,” should appear sometime in March, but we’ll keep our readers updated when we get a definite airdate.

A little clip of the Boyle character is featured in the series preview on NBC’s website, which, coupled with the episode title, should give the spoiler-inclined a fair chance at figuring out the basic premise.

More updates after the jump.

After yesterday’s disappointment with the Entertainment Tonight feature, we here at the Apple were mighty pleased to view the Mad Money trailer we downloaded today off of the Movie Trailers Blog. There’s actually quite a lot of Adam, beginning at the 1:33 mark on through the end. Kind of a shockingly large amount of Adam really, including the super-duper close-up used above.

The film’s website also appears to be up and running. There’s nothing Adam-specific up there at the moment, but there is a Mad Money Sweepstakes ready to go and we’ll keep an eye on the site for updates.

Our intrepid commenter Ann has once again scooped le Apple with the news that the Thursday, October 25th edition of Entertainment Tonight (check your local listings) will feature a preview of Mad Money. The preview’s preview is up and running over at YouTube (embed after the jump) and features a couple of glimpses of our Adam! Adam laughs!

We’re firing up the ol’ VCR as we speak and we’ll get that video to you, our dear readers, as soon as we can. Or you can just watch the show yourself. Either way.

Update (October 25, 2007):
Since the story had even less Adam than the Sneak Preview after the jump, we’re going to pass on it. Just enjoy the comparative abundance in the video already posted.

Word has leaked that a rough cut of Mad Money was screened at Thursday’s ShowEast 2007 and a few audience members rushed on over to the imdb forum to post their (mostly) enthusiastic impressions.

One commentator even showed our Adam a little love in the process, noting that: “The little known actor playing Katie Holme’s boyfriend is a real find and great comic relief.”

The people have spoken! Our “little known” Adam is “a real find”… at least for those who don’t read the Apple regularly.

More detailed comments after the jump. Thanks to brainwashed katie over at Free Katie, via Google Alerts, for the tip.

Mad Money’s set to get a wave of promotion on the Starz collection of channels, beginning with a Starz Movie News piece at 8:55 PM (ET/PT) tomorrow, Sunday the 14th, with subsequent repeated airings throughout the month. It appears there will be a couple more of these shorter pieces followed by the making-of special, On the Set: Mad Money, and the Mad Money Marathon hosted by Queen Latifah and her mother, Rita Owens. We’re having a little trouble sussing out the schedule for the remaining pieces, but we’ll get those posted in the calendar at the top of the sidebar as soon as we can.

The Apple is giddy with anticipation at the thought of celebrating the new year with our man Adam’s big-screen debut now that imdb lists Mad Money’s expected release date as January 25, 2008, 111 long days from now. We’ll be gearing up for the big day with new features and special treats for the faithful in addition to sifting through the press coverage around the project for Adam-related tidbits.

If you just can’t wait until then, Mad Money will have its debut screening at the American Film Market on November 2nd in Santa Monica, according to a notice in Variety. A mere $250 and a willingness to pretend to be an indie industry insider will get you a day pass and a chance to be a part of the magic.

For the second post in a row, thanks to Ann and Google for the heads up.

Update (October 14, 2007):
The press release for the Mad Money Starz events posted on above had the U.S. release date as January 18, 2007, which is now being “confirmed” by imdb. We’ll keep an eye on this and update as needed.

Ahh! Look at the happy cast of Mad Money. Beaming smiles around the horn and our Adam and Katie Holmes holding hands.

In a recent interview with People magazine (picture after the jump), Mad Money director Callie Khouri said “Katie and Adam Rothenberg had great chemistry.” We here at the Apple are glad to hear it but can’t help but wonder when Adam will reach those hallowed heights of fame where only a first name is needed to evoke his heavenly form.
