| 'Once Upon a Time' Season 6B Has 'Epic' Plans for Captain Swan Posted:  "Once Upon a Time" Season 6 is making our heads spin and hearts hurt, and it's just getting started. This Sunday, December 4 marks the winter finale -- aka the last episode of 2016 -- and we already know "Wish You Were Here" is meant to share answers on Emma's (Jennifer Morrison) mysterious hooded killer. However, one of the showrunners is suggesting fans -- especially fans of Emma and Captain Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) -- look past Episode 10 and look forward to what sounds like a (semi?) bright future.Here's TVLine's latest scoop on that subject, in answer to a fan's Captain Swan query: Yes! Sounds good. Also sounds like Emma is still alive/around into 6B, which we kinda figured, but it's a welcome tease anyway. Back to the winter finale, though. Here's ABC's synopsis: Can't even deal with more Rumbelle drama at the moment, so let's skip that. The other bossman, Edward Kitsis, told Entertainment Weekly more about that wish -- for Emma to have never become the Savior. "One thing that people have always wondered is what would happen if the curse was never enacted and Emma grew up in a fairy tale, and that's what we're going to show." Here's a sneak peek of the Evil Queen's granted wish: And here's a tease of Emma growing up in the fairy tale world:  We're curious to see more of that. But there's still no avoiding the prophecy. "Emma is fated to die and that is the destiny that we learned all Saviors face," Kitsis added to EW. That is going to be coming to a head — it is going to resonate in the finale and it will definitely come to a head in the next half of the season when we return." OK, but at least we know the second half will also feature romance, passion, and (less cool) danger for "the two of them," meaning Emma and Hook. And, of course, Robin Hood is meant to return for a multi-episode arc, so there's a lot to look forward to once we get through the winter break. "Once Upon a Time" airs Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

| 'Game of Thrones' Season 7 Has 'More Dragons' ... and 'More Torture'? Posted:  The characters of "Game of Thrones" will certainly face more conflict in the final two seasons -- and the people of Westeros will see dragons for the first time in more than 100 years -- but "torture"? Come on. We just got rid of Ramsay, let's not tempt the gods to send another villain like that.Alfie Allen, whose character Theon Greyjoy certainly knows from torture, recently talked to fans at Malta India Fan Con in Puerto Rico, teasing a bit of what's ahead in Season 7. Watchers on the Wall posted video shared by a fan, and one of the takeaways was that Allen said there would be "more torture, more dragons" in the new season. However, in the context of the talk, it's pretty clear the "torture" part was just a joking play off what the moderator had just said. He probably didn't mean it as a real tease.  Around the 9-minute mark of the video below, the moderator -- dressed as Wonder Woman -- asked Allen what's next on the HBO show. They had just talked about Theon's (literally) tortured past, so that's probably why it's referenced here:
It basically turned into some awkward flirtation, but it sounded like his real tease was just "more of the same, but better" and "more dragons." There will probably be dark moments and sad deaths that some fans could consider torture but it doesn't sound like we should take that torture tease literally.

| 'Harry Potter' Play's Broadway Move Comes With an Awkward Catch Posted:  Harry Potter is pulling a Newt Scamander and heading Stateside, but that's not good news for everyone.It was recently revealed that "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is planning to open on Broadway "in a totally transformed Lyric Theatre" in New York City in the spring of 2018. U.S. Potter-philes had been waiting for that news, but -- as "Once Upon a Time" fans know -- magic always comes with a price. In this case, the price is apparently being paid by a Cirque du Soleil show. According to the New York Times, the Lyric Theater is being transformed, "shedding one-fifth of its seats" to make room for the two-part Potter play. However, here's the catch: Did you ever expect to hear a "Godfather" reference in regard to Harry Potter muscling someone out of a Broadway venue? Maybe the whole thing is being run by Slytherins. That doesn't have to be a bad thing, but it's a bit surprising. At any rate, the takeaway is good for the fans who couldn't travel to London to see the play, which is most of us here in North America. Stay tuned for details on when "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" will open on Broadway, and how to get tickets. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

| Chris Pratt Keeps Cropping Jennifer Lawrence Out of Photos & It Never Gets Old Posted:
Pratt has made a running gag out of blocking Lawrence's face, or almost completely cropping her out of photos. He doesn't mention that he's doing it, he just keeps posting photos (and even a video) with "best buddy Jen" and acts like they're completely normal instead of half of her face, or the back of her head, or just her arm drinking from a glass behind him: Why is it hilarious every single time?! Both actors are naturally funny, but "Passengers" is hardly a comedy -- it's more like "Titanic" in space. They just can't help but be goofy behind-the-scenes while promoting it. "Passengers" will be released in theaters December 21. Take a closer look at the mysterious trailer over here. And don't forget to keep checking Pratt's Instagram to see more partial photos of Jennifer Lawrence. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

| 'Saturday Night Live' Taps John Cena and Casey Affleck as Hosts Posted:
Wrestling star/actor Cena will take the reins on Dec. 10 with musical guest Maren Morris. "Manchester By the Sea" actor and Oscar frontrunner Affleck hosts on Dec. 17 with musical guest Chance the Rapper. This is the first time hosting "SNL" for both men. The fall portion of season 42 has been stacked with first-time hosts, including Margot Robbie, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Benedict Cumberbatch. Affleck tends to do more dramatic movies, but Cena has steadily been making a move into comedic roles, and he's appeared in "Trainwreck," "Daddy's Home," and "Sisters." He also performed a sketch on "Maya & Marty," so he has a bit of experience:They'll follow Emma Stone, who hosts this week with musical guest Shawn Mendes. Want more stuff like this?

| 'Rogue One,' 'Jungle Book' Make Oscars Shortlist for Best Visual Effects Posted:
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Science announced the shortlist for the Best Visual Effects category, and it's full of major blockbusters like "The Jungle Book," "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," and the soon-to-be-huge "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." And in an unusual move, the animated feature "Kubo and the Two Strings" made the list. Last year, robot drama "Ex Machina" took the prize. Later this month, a committee will further narrow down the list to 10 contenders. Oscar nominations are announced on Jan. 24. Here's the shortlist:

| Amy Schumer in Talks to Star in and Co-Write 'Barbie' Movie Posted:
The comedian and actress is in talks to star in and co-write the script of Sony's live-action "Barbie" movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The movie is described as a "a contemporary spin on beauty, feminism and identity." Sony and Mattel have been developing the project for some time. Last year, they hired three writers to turn in scripts, and ended up choosing Hilary Winston's. Schumer and sister Kim Caramele are expected to rewrite it. A director has yet to be hired. The story begins with a woman in a land of perfect Barbies who realizes she doesn't fit in. She journeys to the real world, where she finds being unique is an asset. Schumer's casting seems to indicate Mattel wants to shake up Barbie's image of stick-thin beauty. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

| 'Good Girls Revolt' Canceled by Amazon After One Season Posted:
Amazon has canceled the drama, which followed female journalists battling sexism in the late '60s. Creator Dana Calvo confirmed the news on Twitter, with a reference to Hillary Clinton's loss in the presidential election:
The series starred Genevieve Angelson, Anna Camp, Erin Drake, Grace Gummer, Joy Bryant, and Hunter Parrish, and was inspired by Lynn Povich's book of the same title. The book chronicled landmark sexual discrimination cases, and in the show, the women are researchers who don't get any of the credit or glory that the male reporters do. "Good Girls Revolt" debuted to mostly positive reviews and was a hit with women viewers. Sony, which produces the show, reportedly intends to shop it around to other outlets.

| Sigourney Weaver Says the 'Avatar' Sequels are 'More Amazing' Than the Original Posted:
In an interview with Variety, Weaver chatted about several of her upcoming projects, including those four much-discussed -- but still quite mysterious -- sequels, which the actress described as "looming" over her. While the sci-fi veteran didn't elaborate on what that meant in terms of a shooting schedule, she did say that she's seen three of the four the screenplays (in what stage of completion is unclear), and had nothing but praise for the stories that awaited filmgoers. "In my opinion, the three scripts I've read so far are many times more amazing than the first one in terms of their scope," Weaver told Variety. "[Cameron] did a lot of the heavy lifting in the first movie, establishing the family and the relationships and the world, and now he really gets to play." According to the trade, the four sequels will be "a family saga," though what exactly that means is anyone''s guess. It does give us some hope, though, that Cameron is on track to finally begin production on these new films, after the plan for the sequels was changed from two films, to three, to four, and the release date for the first follow-up shifted from 2014 to 2016 to 2017, to the new tentative schedule: "Avatar 2," "Avatar 3," "Avatar 4," and "Avatar 5" are currently slated to hit theaters around Christmastime in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2023, respectively. Stay tuned to see if the plan changes again. Based on everything that's happened so far, we wouldn't be surprised by anything at this point.

| There's Something Off About the First Photos From Lifetime's Britney Spears Movie Posted:
The chief complaint is that the actress cast to play Britney, Natasha Bassett, looks nothing like the singer. And that's doubly true for the supporting actors playing the men in Britney's life: Kevin Federline (portrayed by Clayton Chitty, in probably the most accurate casting in movie), Justin Timberlake (Nathan Keyes), and the rest of *NSYNC (Frankie Cena as Chris Kirkpatrick, Connor Paton as Lance Bass, Matt Visser as Joey Fatone, and Zac Vran as JC Chasez). Check out some of the photos for yourself: Of course, Twitter had a field day with the photos, sharing some hilarious commentary on the images.
We can't wait for the movie to actually premiere and see all of this glorious cheesiness in action. The flick, currently titled "Britney," is set to premiere on Lifetime sometime in 2017.

| 'Gilmore Girls' Revival: Here's How Rory Could Afford All Those International Flights Posted:
In an interview with TVLine, Sherman-Palladino spilled the beans about all things "A Year in the Life," including the final four words, Rory's babydaddy, and yes, all of that airfare on her many visits to London/Logan. According to the producer, the answer to how the flailing freelance journalist could swing such a large expense on a regular basis came down to some thrifty planning. "A lot of it was points," ASP told TVLine. "When you travel that much you have points. She's flying economy. She's flying JetBlue on a deal. And she's using her points. We didn't really focus on money because, quite frankly, I don't think anyone's worried that Rory is going to starve. Between Emily Gilmore, Lorelai Gilmore... Logan... there were so many [well-off] people in her life that would've made sure she didn't fall through the cracks." We see more than a few cracks in ASP's explanation, especially since Rory herself kept telling everyone that she had no money. Even with some careful scouring of airline deals, it seems a little too convenient that she was still able to spontaneously jet off overseas so often. The showrunner's latter point -- that Rory had financial help from someone else -- is probably closer to accurate (and Logan is most likely the one who should have footed that bill, anyway). Rory also had a trust fund from Richard and Emily (which was set up during the original series, fans may recall, and set to go into effect when she was in her mid-20s), and likely also got some money from Richard's will, so she probably wasn't hurting for spare cash. It seems the youngest Gilmore's definition of "broke" is a bit different from the rest of ours. This concludes today's edition of Over-Analyzing "A Year in the Life." Stay tuned for more.
