May 15, 2008 from Hamptons Online:
We’ll be seeing lots more of our favorite East End couple Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. I hear that they are going to take some time for themselves and their family (possibly working on an addition?) after all the hoopla surrounding “Sex and the City: The Movie” is finally over next month and now that Matthew’s film “Finding Amanda” has premiered at Tribeca Film Festival. They'll leave their Greenwich Village townhouse and come back to the East End to unwind and maybe even squeeze in a trip to Ireland to introduce their little boy to some members of the Broderick clan.

Apr 9, 2008 from OK! Magazine:
Sarah Jessica Parker is out-of-town for hubby Matthew Broderick’s Gen Art Film Festival premiere of Diminished Capacity held at NYC’s Ziegfeld Theatre.
While the SATC icon is away, her man has been keeping busy filming 30 Rock. Alec Baldwin entertains by doing impressions of Marlon Brando — and him. (Ha!)
Working with Alan Alda in this comedy about a man suffering from memory loss was irresistible to Matthew because he’s a big fan of the M.A.S.H. star. “That was the big draw,” the sweet, petite father of one says.
What advice would he give wannabe actors?
“I’ve had a lot of disappointments,” he says. “Don’t give up too fast. Hopefully it will come through.”
In this film, Matthew and Alan head to a memorabilia expo. What does Alan collect?
“I have a nice collection of dustballs under the couch,” he tells me. “That’s about it.”
Apr 5, 2008 from New York Post:
Sighting: Lauren Bacall, Angela Lansbury and Jessica Lange drinking champagne with Matthew Broderick and cheering Patti LuPone at the "Gypsy" afterparty at Mansion New York.
Apr 1, 2008 from TV Guide:
Matthew Broderick has been enlisted to appear on an upcoming episode of NBC's 30 Rock, playing "Cooter, an enthusiastic, clean-cut government employee who befriends Jack (Alec Baldwin)."
Mar 24, 2008 from Boston Globe:
Boston-based film and TV composer and musician Brad Hatfield can barely believe his luck. He finally got to play with jazz piano legend Marian McPartland - something he called a "lifelong dream." And his music is featured in "Finding Amanda," a film that just happens to be written and directed by his brother-in-law, Scituate native Peter Tolan. The movie, which stars Brittany Snow and Matthew Broderick, will have its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival next month. "Sometimes in this business it looks like you don't have anything going," Hatfield told us. "And then it all moves at once." Tolan, who is back at work on the TV show "Rescue Me," didn't just hire a family member, he wrote the lyrics for the movie's big number. "I don't want to give too much away, but there's a song - Peter wrote all the words - for a scene in Vegas," Hatfield said. "It's like a Nelson Riddle-style big piece that comes at a very funny part of the movie."
