Second Season Of ‘Wayward Pines’ May Have All-New Cast By Ethan Anderton/June 28, 2015 1:00 pm EST But while the live numbers weren’t anything to write home about, Wayward Pines gained a record percentage DVR lift of 90% for a 1.9 rating, which isn’t bad at all. In the weeks since, it’s actually gained a consistent viewership (especially after DVR numbers come in), but that could get shaken up if the show may get a second season with a whole new cast....

The Jason Statham Shark Movie ‘Meg’ Will Open In Theaters In 2018 By Jack Giroux/May 18, 2016 4:30 pm EST It looks like Meg may have finally crawled its way out of development hell. An adaptation of Steve Alten’s Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror has been in the works for a long time now, but the budget, time and time again, has proved to be an issue. In 2007, millions of dollars were spent on Jan de Bont’s (Speed) version of the project before New Line pulled the plug....
VOTD: World Record Set For Riding Jurassic Park River Adventure At Universal Studios By Ethan Anderton/June 16, 2015 4:00 am EST With Jurassic World currently in theaters, people just can’t stop talking about Jurassic Park.

‘Bridget Jones’s Baby’ Trailer: Mark Darcy Vs. McDreamy By Angie Han/June 28, 2016 9:30 am EST The onslaught of sequels won’t end with summer. Fall brings a whole new batch, including Bridget Jones’s Baby. Fifteen years after the first film, Bridget (Renée Zellweger) is a little older, a little wiser, but no less prone to getting into awkward scrapes. More specifically, she’s dealing with a surprise pregnancy and two potential fathers....
‘Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story Of Cannon Films’ Trailer By Russ Fischer/Oct. 6, 2014 3:00 pm EST As difficult as the films of Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus were to predict when they were released during the heyday of Cannon Films, their output is almost more difficult to understand now. The seat of the pants craziness that was Cannon’s stock in trade isn’t often seen today, unless via the ironically bad output of Asylum and similar outfits....
‘Goodbye To Language’ Trailer: Jean-Luc Godard Experiments With 3D By Russ Fischer/Oct. 13, 2014 1:30 pm EST Jean-Luc Godard releases his thirty-ninth film this year, and his first in 3D. The film, Goodbye to Language, is an experimental effort that takes an approach to 3D that has been called radical and even game-changing. (Though we probably won’t see anyone using 3D in this manner for a conventional film any time soon....
‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Director James Gunn Blasts Half-Assed Shared Universe Model By Angie Han/Nov. 24, 2014 11:45 am EST Apparently we’re not the only ones who hate the current obsession with Marvel-style universes. Director James Gunn has weighed in with a rant against “Hollywood’s new love of shared universes,” blasting the model as “flawed.” And he should know — he’s involved with the original Marvel-style universe, i.e., the Marvel universe....
‘Hail, Caesar!’ Trailer: The Coen Brothers Hit The Golden Age Of Hollywood By Angie Han/Oct. 9, 2015 8:20 am EST As if we didn’t have enough movies to look forward to between now and the end of this year, it’s already time to start looking ahead to next year. Working Title has just dropped the first trailer for Hail, Caesar!, Joel and Ethan Coen’s not-quite-musical farce set in the Golden Age of Hollywood....
‘Sherlock’ Victorian Special Trailer: “The Stage Is Set, The Curtain Rises…” By Angie Han/Oct. 7, 2015 4:00 pm EST Sherlock’s cases have gone to some pretty weird places, but this next one tops them all. In a special airing this winter, Sherlock Holmes and John Watson (Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman) are going all the way back to their roots. Like, their original, literary, Arthur Conan Doyle roots, i.e., 19th century London....
Christopher Walken Glowers Over Allison Williams In First ‘Peter Pan Live!’ Poster By Angie Han/Oct. 17, 2014 10:00 am EST As one live-action fairy tale after another winds its way to the big screen, NBC is doing one better with an actual live production. Following the smash success (well, ratings-wise) of last winter’s The Sound of Music Live!, the network is putting on Peter Pan Live! this winter. Allison Williams stars as the boy who never grew up (which kinda fits, since Girls is all about girls who can’t quite seem to grow up) and Christopher Walken plays the malicious Captain Hook....
Hulu May Provide Live Streams Of Broadcast And Cable Channels By Ethan Anderton/May 2, 2016 9:30 am EST Another blow is coming to overpriced cable providers, from one of the most popular streaming services available today. A new report indicates that Hulu is planning to provide a service that will allow users to live stream broadcast and cable channels along with the library of movies and TV shows that they already provide....
Kurt Sutter And FX Axe ‘The Bastard Executioner’ By Angie Han/Nov. 18, 2015 12:00 pm EST Kurt Sutter’s The Bastard Executioner has, itself, hit the chopping block. The medieval drama has officially been canceled, after wrapping up its first (and now only) season earlier this month.The Bastard Executioner wasn’t earning much in the way of ratings or critical buzz, so the news doesn’t come as a total shocker. What is surprising is the way Sutter announced its cancelation — via a full-page ad in The Hollywood Reporter....
Original ‘Birdman’ Ending Took Aim At Another Big Film Franchise By Russ Fischer/Feb. 6, 2015 2:00 pm EST Birdman, directed byAlejandro González Iñárritu from a script by Alexander Dinelaris, is pretty cynical about Hollywood product. But if things had gone the way the film was originally scripted, it would have ended with an even more pointed jab at the studio franchise machine. In the film, Michael Keaton plays an actor whose most popular role, Birdman, haunts him as he attempts to mount a stage play....
Star Wars: The Emperor’s Real Name Finally Revealed In New Novel By Germain Lussier/Oct. 15, 2014 2:00 pm EST It’s just one of those things you never think about. First he was The Emperor. Then he was Senator Palpatine, followed by Chancellor Palpatine and then revealed as Darth Sidious.

The 2016 MTV Movie Awards Nominations Honor Unknown Little Gems Like ‘Star Wars’ And ‘Jurassic World’ By Jacob Hall/March 8, 2016 9:30 am EST So I hold no strong opinions on the 2016 MTV Movie Awards nominations. Are these the movies that I would have nominated for awards? Nah. But these most certainly are the movies MTV executives and producers think their audience wants to see nominated. In other words, welcome to an awards ceremony dominated by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Deadpool, and Avengers: Age of Ultron....

Now here’s the Awesome REmix Vol. 1 from music producer Mike Relm. As with Godzilla and Iron Man, Relm took music, dialogue, and footage from Guardians of the Galaxy, chopped it up into little tiny pieces, and laid it back out into something fresh....
Zach Galifianakis Wishes ‘The Hangover’ Sequels Never Happened, Like Everyone Else By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 28, 2016 3:30 pm EST In the summer of 2009, the comedy The Hangover came out of nowhere to become the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all-time. The film pulled in $467 million worldwide, which is impressive considering the biggest star of the movie at the time was Bradley Cooper, and he wasn’t quite as famous as he is today....
