Netflix has debuted a new teaser for its Full House sequel Fuller House, and unlike that last trailer it actually shows the whole gang, not just Comet 2.0. Well, the whole gang minus Michelle, anyway, since both she and her real-life counterparts off enjoying high-powered careers in fashion....

The latest Sundance entry to unleash a trailer is Partisan, directed by Ariel Kleiman....
By Angie Han/March 2, 2016 6:30 am EST It’s not uncommon for films to be described as “love letters” to whatever city they’re set in. Just look at the way critics and cinephiles describe the New York-set works of Spike Lee or Martin Scorsese or Woody Allen, for example. But the “Cities of Love” film series make the connection more explicit. First Paris je t’aime travelled all through the city’s various arrondissements with narrative filmmakers ranging from Alfonso Cuarón to Wes Craven to Alexander Payne, then New York, I Love You did the same with Mira Nair, Brett Ratner, and Natalie Portman....

Now that you’ve oohed and ahhed over the Tick images, here’s an official statement from creator and executive producer Ben Edlund to go with them:
Aw Jeez! Fargo Season 3 Casts Ewan McGregor As Two Characters By Peter Sciretta/May 20, 2016 1:36 pm EST Game of Thrones whatever, Fargo is the best show on television. The FX limited series has completed two seasons now, each with fantastic casts. The 1970’s throwback that was the second season was great, elevating both the filmmaking and storytelling. But in my opinion nothing can beat that award-caliber cast of the first season, which included Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman, Allison Tolman and Colin Hanks....
Cool Stuff: LEGO ‘Jurassic Park’ Visitor Center By Ethan Anderton/June 22, 2015 4:00 am EST Since Jurassic World is all the rage right now, there’s been plenty of nostalgia looking back at the original Jurassic Park. But we’ve yet to see a resurgence of toys dedicated to the original Steven Spielberg dinosaur adventure. However, that could change with a little bit of help from fans. There’s a project that just surfaced at LEGO Ideas that has an awesome building block version of the visitor center from Jurassic Park....

David Simon’s Next HBO Show Could Be ’70s Porn Centric ‘The Deuce’ By Germain Lussier/June 17, 2015 2:30 pm EST Few creative voices out in the world inspire as much confidence as David Simon. The creator of The Wire, as well as Homicide, Generation Kill and Treme, is the king of making detailed, character based genre television that’s incredibly challenging to viewers. Because of that, most of the time the work isn’t appreciated as it airs, if at all....
Dreamworks May Align With Universal After Disney Deal Expires By Russ Fischer/Sept. 2, 2015 9:30 am EST It’s a business deal that won’t come as a surprise to many, and which might not seem to mean much to people outside of the fact that the Ghost in the Shell film being assembled by Dreamworks could ultimately be released by Universal in the US, instead of Disney. But there’s one sentence that sticks out in news of a possible Dreamworks Universal deal: “[Spielbeg] also is key on potential reboots of other Universal franchises such as Jaws and Back to the Future....

Kiefer Sutherland Wanted Jack Bauer To Die On ‘24’ By Jacob Hall/June 24, 2016 10:00 am EST Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer walked (and continues to walk) a very fine line in American popular culture. The lead character of Fox’s 24 meant many things to many people and personal politics often played a huge role in how you viewed the behavior of one of television’s most brutal antiheroes. For some, he was the hero America needed in a post-9/11 world, a man who would stop at nothing to get the job done and did would no one else was willing to do....

Weber (500 Days of Summer, The Fault in Our Stars) based on Semple’s best-selling novel. The novel uses some not-quite-standard methods of giving out information, such as “email messages, official documents, and secret correspondence” which offers some chances for a screenplay that can play with narrative structure....
