Sorry, But Negan Was Just Confirmed for 'The Walking Dead' Season 8

Posted:

Sick of Negan yet? Too bad. He's sticking around through "The Walking Dead" Season 7 into the 2017-2018 Season 8. And probably beyond.

The news isn't shocking to comic book readers, but the AMC show doesn't always stick to the page, and it's possible non-comic-followers were hoping our group would dispatch Negan at some point in Season 7's 16 episodes. Nope.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) was just on Howard Stern's show, and he was asked if The Powers That Be even told him how long he'd be around. "Well, I know that I'll be around for Season 8," he said. He also mentioned that they finished filming the whole of Season 7 the previous week, in late November. So Lucille any last hope that Negan dies in the Season 7 finale.

As viewers, we're still only up to Season 7, Episode 7, airing this Sunday, December 4, and then there's just the Episode 8 midseason finale on December 11 before the winter break. "The next two [episodes], I'm really big in," JDM told Stern. "I'm f*cking heavy in those."Negan wasn't featured in Episode 5, "Go Getters" (which focused on Hilltop) or Episode 6, "Swear" (which followed Tara and Heath). But apparently he'll have a big role in Episode 7, "Sing Me a Song" (which sounds like it's getting its title from a Negan/Carl moment in the comic), and Episode 8, "Hearts Still Beating." Then TWD will be on hiatus until February 2017. What JDM and the cast just finished last week we won't see until early spring.

Read or listen to more of his interview for his thoughts on spoilers and the weird fan mail he gets from women, plus his praise for his old "Grey's Anatomy" co-star Katherine Heigl.

Matthew McConaughey Just Drove Some Lucky College Students Home in a Golf Cart

Posted:

"Free State of Jones" Photo CallMove over, Uber -- and Ooober -- 'cause Matthew McConaughey is here to make sure college students get home alright, alright, alright.

The Oscar-winning actor recently participated in his alma mater's SURE Walk program, giving rides to students heading home after a late night. According to Entertainment Weekly, it happened after the University of Texas at Austin lost its last football game of the season. McC stayed to hang out on campus -- like his "Dazed and Confused" character -- then hopped behind the wheel of a cart to drive some students home.You know, that's actually a great way to promote safety/discourage drunk driving -- tease the idea that McConaughey might be the one to drive you home. (And don't go thinking the girl in the back is missing out; she was apparently keeping track of who ordered rides. She got her own solo photo with McConaughey.)McConaughey attended the University of Texas at Austin from 1989-1993, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Radio-Television-Film. His first film credit was the 1993 film "Dazed and Confused," which filmed in Austin. So you could say he owes the place.

Michelle Williams: Raising Daughter Without Heath Ledger 'Won't Ever Be Right'

Posted:

OSCAR LUNCHEONWe're coming up on nine years since Heath Ledger died in January 2008. Can you believe it? The actor left behind a daughter, Matilda Rose, born in October 2005 while he and his "Brokeback Mountain" co-star Michelle Williams were still together. They had broken up before his death, but Williams always expected him to be there to co-parent Matilda.

Now Matilda Ledger is 11 years old, and Williams -- who co-stars in the Oscar favorite "Manchester by the Sea" -- told Porter magazine she's never going to be able to accept that her daughter is growing up without her father.

"You know, that's just something that doesn't ... I mean, it just won't ever be right. In all honesty, for pretty much everything else, I feel like I'm a believer in not fighting circumstances, accepting where you are and where you've been. In pretty much all senses but one. I would be able to go totally down that line of thinking were it not for Matilda not having her dad."

It really is such a shame. Williams talked about knowing a handful of other women in the same position -- "It's a sh*tty club and we don't want any new members" -- and she's grateful that she has their support. She's pretty candid in the interview, admitting she "certainly did not expect to still be dating at 36 with an 11-year-old."LA Premiere of "Manchester by the Sea" - ArrivalsThe actress called herself a "very domestic creature" like a cat, in that she just wants to stay home and take care of people. "But I'm also happy with myself and just because I might have a desire to be with someone ... that won't lead me to marry the wrong person."

Williams has yet to marry, after dating Ledger from 2004 to 2007, then Spike Jonze, Jason Segel, Jonathan Safran Foer, and whoever else she wants, since it's her life. Read her full Porter interview on newsstands this Friday.

Ryan Reynolds Recalls His 'Failed' Audition for the Coen Brothers

Posted:

2016 Governors Awards - ArrivalsNot even Deadpool scores every time.

Ryan Reynolds is doing all right for himself these days, but he's no stranger to rejection. Reynolds and "Hidden Figures" star Taraji P. Henson compared audition horror stories for Variety's new season of "Actors on Actors," which premieres January on PBS SoCal.

Henson asked Reynolds about his "worst" audition, and he said "most of them" were his worst, but there was one that stood out:

"I was never a great auditioner. I had one where I had to sing, and that was -- I'm a nervous singer. [...]. It's one of those auditions that was so bad that I look back and I think, 'What if that tape surfaces at some point?' And it just comes out, and that will be the death of me."

When asked about his "last" audition, Reynolds said:

"I auditioned and failed for the Coen Brothers. [...] It was terrible. It was OK, it just wasn't the right fit, mostly because they're very high class. In the room, they were just quietly shaking their heads, like, 'What are you doing here? Do you have a SAG card or do you have the Canadian version? How did you get here?'"

Henson asked which movie that was for, and he initially said, "Hail, Caesar!" (2016) but then added, "Was it? No, the one before that." If not for "Hail, Caesar!" maybe it was "Inside Llewyn Davis" (2013). In both cases, he may have had to sing, so his last audition may have also been been his worst audition.

Watch both Reynolds and Henson (who co-starred in "Smokin' Aces") share their stories when "Actors on Actors" Season 5 premieres January 3 on PBS SoCal, or see the interview here. (They start sharing bad audition stories around the 16-minute mark.)

New 'Star Wars' Rumor Hints to Big Future for Obi-Wan Kenobi

Posted:

The Force will be with Obi-Wan Kenobi -- always -- but it may be especially strong in the next few years, at least according to new rumors roaming the Star Wars galaxy.

Ewan McGregor has said he's ready to return as Obi-Wan, the role he played in the prequels, with Alec Guinness as the Jedi Master in the original trilogy. "Rogue One" is about to come out as the first "standalone" movie in the Star Wars world, with Han Solo's movie to follow. What about Obi-Wan?

Anthony Breznican of Entertainment Weekly is pretty plugged-in to the Star Wars world, and on a recent Rebel Force Radio podcast, he hinted to why Obi-Wan has yet to have his own official solo film, and when that may change:

"I have heard rumors that the one reason they haven't moved sooner on Obi-Wan is that they're not done with Obi-Wan quite yet in the Saga films. So I wouldn't be surprised to see an Obi-Wan [solo film] happen beyond Episode IX."

Technically, Obi-Wan had a cameo in Episode VII, "The Force Awakens," but it's exciting and intriguing to think his story could continue somehow in the next two films. Episode VIII is scheduled for December 15, 2017, with Episode IX scheduled for May 23, 2019.

There's no official word on how an Obi-Wan standalone would play out, but Ewan McGregor said he's ready to go. As he recently put it (via Geek Tyrant):

"I've always thought there was a story to tell between my last one and Alec Guinness' first one. It would be fun to film that story now I'm older. I'd be the right age. I'm forty-five, Alec Guinness was what, sixty? I could do two of them (laughs)!"

What do you think? Is it good news to think Obi-Wan could return for the next two Saga films, then possibly have his own standalone story?

'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 3' Is in the Works, According to Alexis Bledel

Posted:

Actress got fans excited this summer when she hinted that a third installment of the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" series could happen some day, and now, another one of the titular stars of the film says plans to revive the franchise are indeed in the works.

revealed the news during an appearance on "The Tonight Show" this week, telling host Jimmy Fallon that "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 3" is a very real possibility."We would all love to do it," Bledel said, adding that Lively, , and were all on board, too. "I think it would be so much fun, and we talk about it. ... I think we should absolutely do it. We're working on it. So we'll see if it happens."

"You're working on it?" a hopeful Fallon interjected.

"Yeah, we're working on it," Bledel confirmed. "It would be so fun!"

We certainly agree with that assessment. And considering a chunk of the action in the last film, "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2," took place in Greece, we think the actresses would be more than willing to sign up for more.

Lively said back in June that all four of the stars wanted to make sure that the story made sense before moving forward. We'll keep our fingers crossed that there are additional developments on the threequel's progress soon.

'Nashville' Season 5 Trailer Teases Juliette's Plane Crash

Posted:

The first teaser trailer for the upcoming fifth season of resurrected series "Nashville" is full of drama, with the cliffhanger plane crash that put Juliette (Hayden Panettiere) in peril front and center.

At the end of season four (which was thought to be the series finale, before the cancelled ABC series was rescued by cable net CMT), Avery (Jonathan Jackson) and Cadence were waiting for Juliette at the airport when they were informed that her personal jet was missing. The trailer takes us inside the plane, showing some intense turbulence as a terrified Juliette is shaken in her seat, lighting crashing outside the window.

We then see Rayna (Connie Britton), Deacon (Charles Esten), Maddie (Lennon Stella), and Daphne (Maisy Stella) watching a news report confirming Juliette's plane has indeed crashed. That crash -- and Juliette's subsequent recovery -- will play a crucial role in season five.

Other notable scenes from the teaser include a discussion between Scarlett (Clare Bowen) and Gunnar (Sam Palladino) about the state of their relationship, a tearful heart-to-heart between Deacon and Maddie (probably about the emancipation she pursued in season four), and Will getting close with a mystery man who is not his boyfriend. New showrunners Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick have promised that the unnecessary drama will be kept to a minimum in season five -- with a renewed focus on the show's music -- so here's hoping the above storylines don't get too salacious.

"Nashville" makes its season five debut on CMT on January 5, 2017.

Andrew Garfield Admits Playing Spider-Man Made Him 'Heartbroken'

Posted:

Actor Andrew Garfield arrives for the prBig-budget comic book movies aren't exactly known for their devotion to character development and creative storytelling, and actor Andrew Garfield learned that firsthand while donning spandex to play the titular role in the "Amazing Spider-Man" series. Now, Garfield is reflecting on that experience, which he admits left him a bit disillusioned about the filmmaking process.

In an interview with actress Amy Adams for Variety's Actors on Actors series, Garfield chatted with his fellow superhero star about the highs and the lows of working on those types of films. While the actor -- who's discussed his displeasure with "Amazing Spider-Man 2" in the past -- said that he enjoyed the experience overall, especially working with his director and the rest of the cast, other aspects of the superhero system were a bit disheartening.

"There's something about being that young in that kind of machinery that I think is really dangerous," Garfield explained. "I wasn't a teenager, but I was still young enough to struggle with the value system, I suppose, of corporate America."

Adams admitted that while she enjoys playing Lois Lane in the DC filmverse, she's very much aware that her character is "in service of the story instead of the story serving a character." Garfield related to that idea when it came to playing Spidey.

"There's something that happened with that experience for me where story and character were not actually top of the priority list, ultimately," he told Adams. "And I found that really, really tricky. I signed up to serve the story and to serve this incredible character I'd been dressing as since I was 3. And then it gets compromised, and it breaks my heart. I got heartbroken a little bit."

It's certainly refreshing to hear an actor speak so earnestly about his disappointment with a once-in-a-lifetime experience like headlining a tentpole superhero flick. Here's hoping he doesn't get to Sally Field-levels of disillusionment anytime soon, though.

Alexis Bledel Knows How to Hold a Coffee Cup, Thank You Very Much

Posted:

gilmore girls, a year in the life, coffee cup, alexis bledelWe're still absorbing everything that happened in "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life," and one of the main takeaways from the "Gilmore Girls" revival series is that Rory Gilmore is a bit of a mess. Some "Gilmore" fans also had similar thoughts about actress Alexis Bledel before the revival even started, but according to Bledel, that assessment has been blown a bit out of proportion.

The trouble all started back when Netflix first released some promotional posters for "A Year in the Life," featuring Rory and Lorelai (Lauren Graham) holding coffee mugs, and posing for seasonal-themed posters that tied into each of the revival's "Winter," "Spring," "Summer," and "Fall" installments. As Bledel discussed with host Jimmy Fallon during an appearance on "The Tonight Show" this week, some fans thought that Bledel's handling of the props used in those photos was pretty odd, and wondered if she didn't know how to hold ordinary objects."Do you understand that that's not normal?" Fallon asked the actress, pointing to the coffee image. "No one holds a coffee mug [like that]."

But Bledel had a good excuse for the awkward imagery, and defended herself by pointing out the over-sized nature of the cup itself led to her adopting such an odd grip.

"That coffee mug is almost as big as my face," she told Fallon. "So I feel like I was set up to fail there."

The actress then proceeded to pick up a normal-sized mug sitting on the table beside her, demonstrating that she does, in fact, know how to hold a coffee cup. That doesn't exactly explain why her clutching those flowers on the "Spring" poster looks so odd, but at least Bledel has a good sense of humor about it.

You can scrutinize her holding skills in "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life," which is streaming on Netflix now.

'Saturday Night Live' Mystery Solved: What's the 'S' in David S. Pumpkins?

Posted:

Saturday Night LiveThere are a lot of mysteries surrounding David S. Pumpkins, the deeply confusing "Saturday Night Live" character played by Tom Hanks -- like who he is, why he's in that haunted house, and what the "S" in his name stands for?

That last mystery has been solved by "SNL" star Bobby Moynihan, who co-wrote the Halloween sketch with fellow performer Mikey Day and writer Streeter Seidell. And here's the answer:

"We said Simon," Moynihan told The Huffington Post. "David Simon Pumpkins." Aha!

And how did the trio come up with such a weird character who went on to become a huge viral sensation? As Moynihan explainsed, "Me and Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell were trying to write something together. We like working together. Me and Mikey just wanted to do some weird dancing thing, and it was a lot of weird ideas, and around 5 o'clock in the morning, Mikey just went, 'What if he was David Pumpkins?' And then I said, 'What if it was David S. Pumpkins?'"

And "SNL" history was made.Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

Why Bryce Dallas Howard Isn't Afraid to Go 'Weird' & 'Extreme'

Posted:

Bryce Dallas Howard Portrait SessionBryce Dallas Howard's star rating just keeps going up.

After an increasingly high-profile movie career that includes standouts like M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village" and "Lady in the Water," "Spider-Man 3," the "Twilight," saga and "The Help," in 2015 Howard appeared in "Jurassic World," which became the fourth-highest-grossing film of all time and solidified her status as a full-fledged movie star.

This year, the actress demonstrated her continuing appeal, first headlining Disney's "Pete's Dragon," the engaging, critically praised reimagining of its '70s-era live-action/animation hybrid (the new film debuts on Blu-ray and DVD on Nov. 29), as the kind-hearted small town sheriff confronted with an orphaned child apparently raised in the wilderness alongside a not-so-imaginary friend in the form of a dragon.

Howard then followed it up with a downright bravura performance in the not-too-far-futuristic "Black Mirror" episode "Nosedive," playing a woman whose increasingly consuming obsession with her own popularity rating on her society's dominant -- and sometimes domineering -- social media platform threatens to take it -- and her -- on a precipitous plunge.

The actress joined Moviefone to reflect on her recent string of successes, consider the evolution of her career, and even look back on what it's meant to her to see performances by her acting dynasty family -- including her father, actor and filmmaker Ron Howard -- captured on film and video forever.

Moviefone: You've had an unabashed love of the source material, Disney's 1977 film "Pete's Dragon," since you were little. It must have been especially cool to reinvent it so dramatically and have people fall in love with this version.

Bryce Dallas Howard: Yeah. Whenever you do anything where there is a source material like an original film or a novel, or it's a sequel of something, there's always that element of pressure. But even more so, when it's something that meant something to you personally as a child, I don't know why I keep putting myself in these situations. I'm very lucky too, honestly.

But yeah, what I loved about it when I read the script -- and I'm so happy that people have seemed to have similar reactions to this -- is that it didn't step on the toes of the original movie. We're not doing the same music.

It's taking the central idea of that first film and keeping that intact, that it's a story of a boy and his best friend who's a dragon. And it's a live-action film with an animated character, and it's a Disney film. But other than that, there were so many different things, new storylines. I was nervous about that, but I appreciate that as well. So I'm glad that folks seem to appreciate that.

I met you when you were first starting out doing this, and I was first starting out in my field. Now you have this amazing body of work that you've been able to build. When we met, you were, I'm sure, an actress that was just excited to have opportunities.

Exactly, yeah!

Now, you've got these great collection of films that you've made, films that people love and have embraced. Tell me what that aspect of your professional life means to you.

Thank you. It's really amazing. I think because I'm a third-generation actor, I really knew to not expect success at all. I knew the statistics. I knew how difficult it is. When I was a teenager, my grandparents -- my dad's parents -- brought me to Vegas when I was 16 years old, because I could walk the floor, and my grandmother loved to play the nickel slot machine. And she knew I was doing high school plays, I was going to apply to NYU. They knew that I was definitely going to pursue it in some capacity.

And my grandmother said to me, "Do you know what the rate of the average working actor in SAG is, in terms of how many auditions it takes for them to get a job?" The average working actor, which means they're making a living as an actor. I thought maybe one in 10. It was one in every 64 auditions.

So, going into my career that way, knowing the very real odds, having seen the ups and downs with my family, and also knowing that theirs was actually a success story, I hedged my bets like crazy. I was always working side jobs and saving as much as I could. When I first started working in theater, but in particular when I got my first break in film with M. Night Shyamalan, and that being my first movie, I was like, "Oh my goodness -- this is crazy!"

Then getting to continue to work -- while also I've had times away, during pregnancies and after giving birth, and all of that -- and the fact that I've been able to continue to work is really a serious privilege, and exciting, and moving to me. It's incredible. It's really, really incredible.

Yeah, to get to be in a movie like a Disney film, that I know that my kids enjoy and that they'll grow up with, and providing those memories for my kids -- as well as the same experience that I had growing up on film sets, that they're able to do that, it's really something that I don't think I'll ever take for granted.

Potentially your work is, like so much of your dad's work, immortal. It's with us for generations now.

When it works, when it's working, it's a euphoric experience in so many different levels. Because, like you said, there is that thing. That's not the goal for any of us: immortality. But I know what it means having been a child and being able to watch my dad as a kid in "The Andy Griffith Show." I know what that meant to me. I know what it means to me getting to see my dad at different ages of his life, and what his work was like, and what he sounded like.

So, for me, all of my family who have worked in creative fields, I have that forever, and that's something that's priceless. So to think that that's something that my kids could, when I'm long gone, that my relatives -- even relatives that I don't meet down the road -- could maybe see that, that's wild and surreal! I actually have never thought about that specifically until you just mentioned that. That my great grandkids and stuff ... Oh, I've got to stay on my game!

You are most certainly on your game in your episode of "Black Mirror," "Nosedive." Let's talk about the response to that. People are just going nuts for that, and deservedly so.

Thank you. Oh man -- that job was amazing. I said yes to that without there even being a script. It was just Joe Wright, "Black Mirror"? "Yes, please!"

It was just one of those really freeing, collaborative, sort of idyllic working experiences. It was great because it was also weird, and we were allowed to be weird -- and I gained 30 pounds for it. I felt that the nature of the piece, and the subject matter of the piece, it was an extreme circumstance. Therefore, I felt like I had permission to go to extreme places.

That isn't always the case. I feel like sometimes with films, you not only want to look smaller, you feel like you need to act smaller, you feel like you need to not step on certain things within the scene. Whereas, that story was this person. It was like bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. And to get to be that was really awesome.

That concept -- once I got what was happening in this episode, I realized it's something that you, as an actress, have lived in -- "How big is your following? What do you bring to a movie as far as audience numbers?" But now we're all doing it with our Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook accounts.

Absolutely.

Tell me about your thoughts on just seeing that culture go from your occupation specifically to include everyone, around the world?

That's another thing that I only kind of recently realized. I think it was just in talking about "Black Mirror." When I first started doing social media, which was only not even a year ago, I was like, "What should my line be? Who am I? What kinds of photos do I post?" People are like, "Just be yourself." I'm like, there's folks who are going to be seeing this. I need to keep that in mind.

And I think that there's a certain amount of awareness of self that as someone who has any kind of a public life, you fight it a little bit, you accept it a little bit, you don't want to be aware of it, but then you are aware of it, and you don't want to be weird about it. That is something that I think has been very specific to folks in a public life, and that now everyone experiences.

Everybody now is like, there's that filter for everyone. Or there's no filter, but there's consequences, in a way that there wasn't consequences before. So in a way, in talking about social media, I feel like everyone can relate a little bit to that experience of being like, "Whoops, I said something." And it's not just a one-on-one thing now, or just in your work place, or in your family. It's global. Your words, your images, for everybody, are global.

And, as of right now, even more relevant than ever.

Absolutely. Absolutely. We're seeing how technology is rapidly affecting our lives. "Black Mirror" in a way, each episode is a cautionary tale. We're definitely seeing how fast our world is changing and what can result from that.

Lifetime's 'Beaches' Remake Trailer Will Make You Ugly Cry

Posted:

BeachesGet out a tissue -- no, the whole box -- because the trailer for Lifetime's "Beaches" remake is here, and it will bring out all the tears.

The remake of the 1988 movie stars Idina Menzel as CC (originally played by Bette Midler) and Nia Long as Hillary (originally Barbara Hershey), lifelong friends who first meet as kids on the boardwalk. "Beaches" follows the friends through their lives, as CC becomes a famous and successful singer and actress while Hillary has a daughter. And then, as fans of the original movie know, tragedy strikes when Hillary falls ill.The remake includes Menzel singing the Grammy-winning tune "Wind Beneath My Wings" and "The Glory of Love." Midler highly approves, since she tweeted in August, "Can't wait to see Idina Menzel as CC in Lifetime's "Beaches!" DON'T TELL ME THE ENDING!"

"Beaches" premieres January 21 on Lifetime.

'Rogue One' Featurette Introduces Your New 'Star Wars' Crush Diego Luna

Posted:

Rogue OneThe hype for "Rogue One: A Star Wars" story is in full, well, hyperdrive. While the first standalone "Star Wars" movie won't open with the ginormous box office take of "The Force Awakens," it is tracking to haul in over $130 million in its first weekend.

As part of the marketing blitz, Lucasfilm rolled out a featurette focusing on Diego Luna's character, Captain Cassian Andor. Most of the previous trailers and teasers have revolved around lead Felicity Jones' Jyn Erso, but Andor looks to be a key figure. And he's got that dashing swagger to put him alongside Harrison Ford's Han Solo and Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron.

In the video, Luna talks about the amazing experience of filming a "Star Wars" movie. "It's challenging because one day you're doing a very emotional scene, but the next day you're beating some stormtroopers," he says. "It's fun.""Rogue One" opens in theaters December 17.

'Moonlight' Wins Top Honor at Gotham Awards
