| 'Inside Amy Schumer' Season 4 Promo Spoils Jon Snow's 'Game of Thrones' Fate Posted:
The clip features Amy Schumer in her best "Thrones" garb, riding a horse and proclaiming that she knows what happens to Jon Snow, the character who may or may not have been killed off on the HBO fantasy series. (And if you're at all a spoiler-phobe concerning "Thrones" news, you may want to stop reading now in case the comedienne's pronouncement is actually true.) "No spoilers, but Jon Snow is definitely alive," Schumer says, "'cause he said no to doing our show." We'd say that promising that Kit Harington won't show up on "Inside" could be considered a spoiler anyway (after his surprisingly hilarious turn in HBO mockumentary "7 Days in Hell," we think he'd be a perfect fit for the sketch series), but that's a minor quibble. Hopefully "Thrones" fans don't read too much into it. Season four of "Inside Amy Schumer" premieres on Comedy Central on April 21.

| 'Suicide Squad' Undergoing Reshoots to Make It Funnier: Report Posted:  After the deadly serious action on display in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," can fans expect more of the same from this summer's "Suicide Squad"? Apparently not, as the film is reportedly undergoing reshoots to add more humor.Birth.Movies.Death. reports that the flick is currently in the midst of some extensive reshoots (to the tune of "tens of millions of dollars"), injecting more jokes into the proceedings in response to reaction to the movie's trailer, which prominently featured Queen tune "Bohemian Rhapsody." According to the site's sources, "Every joke in the movie is in that trailer," and "The enormous positive response to the trailer led to Warner Bros requesting reshoots that would alter the tone of the film, bringing in some more of the lightness to which audiences responded." That's in sharp contrast to "BvS," which rocked the box office despite critics complaining that the film was no fun. Studio Warner Bros. is apparently aware of that issue, and wants to course correct a bit for "Squad," per B.M.D., with the site writing that filmmakers aren't "inserting jokes left and right," but instead simply "beefing up fun character moments and interactions" to play to the audience's tastes. Considering that the quirky "Squad" seems more in line with the similarly-humorous "Deadpool" than "BvS," it makes sense for the flick to adopt the former's tone. (And "Deadpool"'s huge box office is probably an incentive, too.) Birth.Movies.Death. also reports that WB is taking a more hands-on approach with the upcoming "Justice League: flick, too, so fans can probably expect that film to be a bit more lighthearted than "BvS" as well. The new-and-improved "Suicide Squad" hits theaters on August 5. [via: Birth.Movies.Death.] Photo credit: Warner Bros. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 'The 100' Star Eliza Taylor on Clarke's Future, Lexa's Death, and Surprising Celeb Fans Posted:  Things are looking pretty bleak for Clarke Griffin on "The 100." She finally threw herself into a moment of romantic bliss with grounder leader Lexa, only to have her new love literally die in her arms after being struck by a fatal stray bullet.It's been a period of pure agony for the show's fans -- including some very personal social media reactions by viewers who feel Lexa's death played into disappointing tropes applies to LGBT characters. It's been a tremendous opportunity for Eliza Taylor, the actress behind Clarke, to demonstrate her considerable effectiveness as an actress. Chatting with Moviefone at WonderCon, Taylor offered hints at how Clarke will soldier forward in the wake of her devastating loss, plus some decidedly lighter behind-the-scenes tidbits, including an encounter with surprising celebrity super-fans and how the show's morphing her Aussie accent. Moviefone: Dark times on the show! Eliza Taylor: Yeah, a little bit! Tell me about how Clarke carries on after the loss of Lexa. It's very difficult. Obviously she's devastated. I think what's different about this is it's not necessarily something that's going to make her stronger. It's just going to change her. But the good thing is she has actually decided that Lexa is in this AI, and she is going to hopefully find a way to be in contact with her again. So a little glimmer of hope is kind of nice for her to hold close. She needs it. Otherwise, she's not going to be able to function or carry on with anything else that she's doing. Is it a glimmer of hope for you as well? Yeah, absolutely. Oh my God. I cry so much in this show. That'd be great. How hard was the goodbye to shoot? I cried, yeah. It was really difficult. There were lots of tears. But she's become one of my closest friends now, so I'm really happy about that. I'm so happy to have her in my life. What are some of the things that Clarke throws herself into to keep moving forward? Can you give me a little hint of the road she goes down? The main thing to worry about right now is whether or not Ontari will become the next commander. So all she is focused on is that not happening, and to get the AI as far away from her as possible. How are her other relationships challenged by this turn of events? She's got a lot to catch up on. She's been away for seven episodes. So she doesn't know really the extent of what's going on. So there's going to be a lot of standing up to certain people and a lot of reaching out to others. What do you love about her at this point in the series? I love her. Just her ability to carry on. I would definitely be like dead in a ditch somewhere. I don't have her strength and power. I love that I get to play that. It's made me stronger, for sure. Obviously, some of the fans were not happy with the turn of events regarding Lexa. What's it like to have that dialogue with the fans, to hear what they're saying, and to have that very direct social media communication that your show has enjoyed with them all this time? I think it's great. I mean, obviously it's been a little difficult recently because people are upset, and so they should be. But knowing that they have a voice that we can hear is pretty incredible. Ten years ago, we didn't have this. I was signing autographs and sending them in the mail. Now, people can ask you a question and you can answer them immediately. It's a powerful phenomenon. This show is so addictive. Have you encountered some celebrity fans? Oh yeah, definitely. It's crazy. I'm so glad. It's definitely a novelty for me at this point. John Travolta, actually. Last year I was at an Oscars party and he came up to me and was like, "I'm so sorry, but my daughter's such a big fan of the show." I took a photo with him and his daughter. Kelly Preston came over and she was like, "I'm so sorry to bother you." I was like, "Guys! It's totally fine!" It was amazing. Do you have any fun behind-the-scenes rituals that you guys have gotten into over the past three seasons? Yeah, I mean, in season one I had this thing called Sunday Classic where we would have all the cast over and I would cook everyone dinner. It was just like our family dinner every Sunday. But it became so popular that we had to sort of have a waiting list after a while because all the crew found out about it and they were like, "When are we coming over to Sunday Classic?" It was a really nice ritual to have. The last couple of seasons we've been so busy that we haven't been able to do it. On the show, we never hear your charming Australian accent. How often does your accent slip at work? A lot. Yeah, but I catch myself and I fix it. It's not a big deal, but yeah. It's weird -- I just adopted a weird hybrid. Like, my r's have gotten really hard. Stuff like that. My mom calls me and she's like, "Are you turning into an American?" She doesn't like it. But I can't help it. I'm surrounded by them! Are there times when you find it coming out really strong? Oh, yeah, definitely. And if I'm with other Australians, I start really talking like this. It's not cute.

| 'The 100' EP Jason Rothenberg on What's Next This Season and Apologizing for Lexa's Exit Posted:  Even as "The 100" continues to attract an even bigger and more passionate following, executive producer Jason Rothenberg understands how, just like his characters, one has to be ready for just about anything around the corner.The recent death of fan-favorite character Lexa -- a necessary evil needed to allow actress Alycia Debnam-Carey to accommodate her full-time gig on "Fear the Walking Dead" -- certainly provided a dramatic, tragic exit, but a disappointed contingent of fans who felt her demise played into certain storytelling tropes that too often befall LGBT characters made their displeasure known quite vocally via social media. Rothenberg recognized their point and offered an apology, and now all parties seem ready to move forward with the more enjoyable task at hand: just what will "The 100" serve up next? While visiting WonderCon in Los Angeles, the showrunner offered some hints at the road ahead and shared his own experiences weathering dark moments. Moviefone: The story has gotten pretty bleak of late. Does it get even lower, or are there glimmers of hope ahead? Jason Rothenberg: It's a dark season. It definitely is. It's hard to say that it's possible to go lower than that for sure. But you know, there will be more death this season. A.L.I.E. wants to take everybody to the City of Light. It's funny, the first half of the season was about civil wars, both in Arcadia and in Polis. Nobody was paying attention to the real problem, which was percolating over in Arcadia with A.L.I.E. That sort of rears its head in a big way coming up. Not in [Episode] Nine as much as in Ten and beyond, but I'm really excited for that part of the season to kick in. I feel like that part of the story is there in people's minds, but it was always on the back burner and becomes the front story very soon. But there are some dark days ahead, both in that story in Arcadia because of Pike's continuing sort of fascism and desire for control and what he's willing to do to get order in his society. Right now, obviously, Kane is under the sword of Damocles. He's been sentenced to death. I feel like people need to be prepared for anything. Are we going to see any new faces popping up? Yes, there are some new faces, for sure. Ontari comes in and she messes things up in a big way. There'll be other new characters coming in certainly down the road that I can't really talk about that I'm excited for people to meet, that we've talked about for a couple seasons that suddenly we actually get to meet, which will be great. Tell me about shifting allegiances or challenged relationships going forward. Who's going to find themselves struggling with their relationship with different characters? Well, Bellamy obviously spent the first part of the season on the wrong side, I guess, depending on your perspective. Certainly, from the perspective of Octavia, and Kane, and Miller, and Harper, and all of the people that were sort of fighting against what Pike had stood for. Now that he has kind of seen the light, I guess you would say, or certainly found a line that he wouldn't cross in terms of what Pike wants him to do and what he's willing to sort of stand by for, we'll see if his friends trust him again. I think that he is going to have a long, hard journey back into their sort of trust. Especially with his sister. That's one of the saddest parts of the season in my mind, is that relationship between Bellamy and Octavia, which has always been such a pillar of the show, has really been tested. And it gets tested even more before it may or may not sort of come back to where we all I think want it to be. When you do a season like this that goes in a particularly dark direction, what's the toll you pay writing it? How does it affect your real life? I mean, I feel like it's interesting, especially living in the age of social media, where the bad things that happen in the show, I become sort of vilified for. The actors are generally still loved, which I think is important. It's a hard story for people. It's the story that we told this season. In terms of how it affects me as a human being, my writing is always pretty dark. I think the show has always been pretty dark. It's, yes, darker this season for sure. But it's always been something that I've had to sort of step away from and be with my kids, and try and find a way to live a normal, healthy, happy life and not it consume me. Do you feel like everybody who was upset about the Lexa issue has made peace at this point? I don't know, honestly, what the answer to that is. I feel like this is an ongoing situation. I feel like I'm grateful that I was the center of this so that I could understand it. It would have taken me, at first, I didn't get it and I worked really hard in trying to take myself out so I could hear what was being said. I have learned a lot from it, and for sure will apply these lessons going forward in terms of being not just a better showrunner, or course, but also a better writer and more in tune with what my audience is reacting to, and I think a better person too. I think as the father of two kids, this has been a teaching moment for them and for me, because ultimately, I don't think it's weakness to apologize when, even if inadvertently, you've hurt somebody. So that's sort of where I have come to. I never meant for the story to cross the line the way that it has for some people. Just because I didn't mean for it to happen, it happened, and I felt the need to apologize, and it took me a while. I wish I had gotten there sooner.

| Mowgli Meets Kaa in Haunting Sneak Peek of Disney's 'The Jungle Book' Posted: Disney and director Jon Favreau are almost ready for you to see their live-action adaptation of "The Jungle Book." The film, out April 15, follows Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a "man-cub" who was raised by wolves. Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o plays Raksha, the mother wolf, and she's featured at the start of this exclusive sneak peek of the movie. "This is a grand re-imaging of the classic tale," Nyong'o says, "and I'm excited for you to see the epic adventure on the big screen in a brand new way." The clip itself is haunting, and almost scary, featuring young Mowgli alone in the jungle -- until he is joined by the mysterious python Kaa (Scarlett Johansson), whose alluring voice hypnotizes him. "I know what you are," Kaa says. "I know where you came from. Would you like to see?" He says yes, and the clip gives us -- and Mowgli -- a brief history of his life, showing how his father was killed by Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), with the young child himself rescued by the panther Bagheera (voice of Ben Kingsley). The rest of the sneak peek flashes through scenes from the movie, which also features the voices of Bill Murray, Giancarlo Esposito, Christopher Walken, Garry Shandling, Sam Raimi, and director Jon Favreau himself. Lupita Nyong'o suggests seeing the movie in IMAX, but you'll have your pick of formats when Disney's "The Jungle Book" is released April 15th.  Want more stuff like this?

| 'Survivor' Has Second (Gross) Medevac and Neal Regrets Not Giving Aubry His Idol Posted:
So even though he regrets the decision, there's still the fear of the idol out there. Then again, if they assume Aubry has the idol and she doesn't, then they may try to flush it out and she's screwed. We'll see how this plays out next week. Want more stuff like this?

| Margot Robbie Was Told to Punch Alexander Skarsgard During 'Tarzan' Sex Posted:  Well, damn. Guess Tarzan and Jane like it rough. Margot Robbie and Alexander Skarsgard are two of the hottest people alive, and fans can see their characters get it on this summer in "The Legend of Tarzan." But sex scenes always sound awkward to shoot, even if they are meant to be steamy on screen. In this case, it's extra awkward to imagine David Yates, who directed the final four "Harry Potter" films, suggesting sex acts from afar."They're doing this love scene together, and I said [to Robbie], 'Just slap Alex while you're making love, just kind of give him a punch,'" Yates told Entertainment Weekly. "It was sort of an earthy, sensual moment of her enjoying sex with Alex, and the only bruise he picked up during the entire shoot was probably that punch from Margot. Which says a lot about her feistiness." Sheesh, how hard did she hit him? We know they don't want her Jane to be a damsel in distress, but she doesn't need to go full Harley Quinn on him. And is it weird to think the same guy who suggested that bit of rough sex is the same one who directed Harry, Hermione, Ron, Dumbledore, and company? Mrs. Dursley would be appalled. (Actually, she'd pretend to be appalled while leaning in and devouring every word.) "The Legend of Tarzan" is scheduled to open July 1. Check out the sexy and action-packed trailers.

| Watch Peter Dinklage Bring His Dry Wit to 'SNL' in Clever New Promos Posted:  Witty is coming! Peter Dinklage is hosting "Saturday Night Live" for the first time on April 2, with Gwen Stefani as musical guest. Dinklage plays brilliant badass Tyrion Lannister on "Game of Thrones," which is launching its sixth season on April 24, and you can see the Emmy winner bring his sardonic humor to these SNL promos.The series of clips just follow Peter and Cecily Strong looking out the window of the NYC building. Check 'em out: In the first clip, they note that it's a nice day outside. You know what spring means? Peter stares into the camera: "Summer is coming." But he and Cecily agree that it's not quite as scary as "Winter is coming," and Peter barely even attempts "Autumn is coming" before giving up. In a more flirtatious promo, Cecily says the flags outside are very beautiful. Peter looks in her eyes and agrees. "They are very beautiful. You know what?" He takes her hand; she giggles. "They're almost as beautiful as ... Gwen Stefani. She is so fine. She's been, like, fine since the '90s." Jealous Cecily starts singing, "Don't speak..." until Peter sings, "Don't sing!" Perhaps the best one is when they stare outside for a while, then suddenly realize it's NOT a movie screen, it's a window. "So this is not 'Superman v Batman'?" Then again, the last one is pretty great, too, with Cecily saying Peter may be shocked to hear it, but she's a "total" nerd, asking him, "You play Tyrone on Game of Thorns. How has that been for the past 10 years?" Peter bugs his eyes out in a classic "are you kidding me" face, then replies, deadpan, "Wonderful." So far, so good, at least from here.

| Jimmy Kimmel Reads Mean Posts From Viewers Who Hate Him for Political Guests Posted:  Jimmy Kimmel is known for having celebrities read mean tweets about themselves on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and last night he was that celebrity.Jimmy said every time they have a presidential candidate on the show, non-supporters of that candidate blast him on social media, vowing to never watch him again. Jimmy read the Facebook posts they got after having Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton on the show. "Even my own uncle, my godfather even, castigated me on Facebook last week for having Hillary Clinton on. He said I embarrassed the family. As if I haven't embarrassed the family a million times before!" Since Ted Cruz was a guest on the show last night, Jimmy said he was sure they'd "get another big furious reaction" to his appearance. "If half of everyone hates me when a Republican is on, and half of everyone hates me when a Democrat is on, it adds up to everyone hates me, right?" Poor Jimmy. No, not everyone hates you. But why does he have politicians on the show, when he knows it causes a near-riot every time? As he argued, "To me, in order to decide who we should vote for, I think it's a good idea to listen to what all the main people running have to say." And with such a loose, informal setting, and less react-to-the-headlines questions than you get on CNN and Fox News, Jimmy gets the politicians to show different sides of themselves. Maybe it doesn't effect anyone's votes at all, but at least we see them as more than talking heads on cable networks or standing at podiums surrounded by adoring supporters. Here's Jimmy asking Sen. Cruz a bunch of random questions he never gets asked elsewhere, like about "Star Wars," his first concert, and who he likes better, Obama or Trump: Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

| The 15 Most Disturbing Moments in Disney Movies Posted: Disney movies have made us laugh and smile, but they've also sometimes scared all the crap out of us and had us sobbing like a baby. We still haven't gotten over the death of Bambi's mother, and we still have night terrors over what happened to Mufasa (RIP). And then there are those terrifying villains with glowing eyes, like the Horned King from "The Black Cauldron." Best turn the lights on and keep some tissues handy, as we revisit these disturbing moments in Disney movies.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| 'That '70s Show' Cast: Where Are They Now? Posted: Time to feel nostalgic about nostalgia. It's been 10 years since the end of "That '70s Show," or 36 years since the end of the actual 1970s. At any rate, it's been a long time since the teens of Point Place, Wisconsin passed their last dutchie around in Eric Forman's parents' basement. By that time, the show had run eight seasons (making it the second longest-running live-action sitcom in Fox history) and had made stars out of its previously unknown young ensemble players. A decade later, two members of the circle, Ashton Kutcher and Danny Masterson, are having a TV reunion, co-starring as brothers on Netflix's new comedy series "The Ranch" (debuting April 1). Kutcher, of course, has been one of the higher profile alumni since "That '70s Show" wrapped; Masterson, not so much. If you're wondering what he and some of the other stars have been up to since they mothballed their bellbottoms, here's the groovy scoop.

One of the most beloved shows on cable is returning later next month, and whether you immediately thought of either "Game of Thrones" or "
However, the biggest question at the end of the episode was why he didn't give the idol he found to Aubry Bracco, his closest ally in the game. Was he allowed to do so? Yes. Here's what he told Parade about the decision he now regrets:
