Will 'The Walking Dead' Really Make It to Season 12 (or Even Beyond)? Posted:
This week, the Internet dug up some quotes that TWD comic book writer Robert Kirkman dropped into his Letter Hacks column last May. No idea why the quotes are just circulating now, other than that the longevity of the series is always an interesting talking point and fans get bored over the winter break. In Issue 154, which came out in early May 2016, a fan asked what would happen when the show caught up to the comics, because it seemed to be happening quickly. Here's Kirkman's response (via Moviepilot):
Season 12! Did he mean it? Kirkman's letter was printed after the Season 6 finale, but long before AMC aired the October Season 7 premiere.
The TV show is still about 50 issues behind and a lot happens in those issues, so fans don't really need to worry about a "Game of Thrones" situation where the TV show outpaces the source material. However, fans may need to worry about how much TWD is too much TWD. Is there such a thing? TV shows rarely stay strong well into the double digits, and Season 7's dip in the ratings (and fan indignation) revealed that the show is not indestructible even with longterm viewers. That said, "The Walking Dead" is still the biggest thing on TV for 18-49 viewers, so AMC probably hopes it does continue to Season 12 and beyond. How long should the show continued, in your opinion?

Debbie Reynolds Rushed to ER Day After Daughter's Death Posted:
TMZ reports that Reynolds, 84, was at her son Todd Fisher's home in Beverly Hills around 1 p.m., when someone from the house called 911 and reported a possible stroke. E! News reports that Reynolds was taken to a nearby hospital ER in "fair to serious condition." Family sources told TMZ that -- as you can imagine -- Reynolds has been distraught since her daughter's own medical emergency on Friday, Dec. 23; "Star Wars" actress Carrie Fisher suffered a massive heart attack on her flight from London to Los Angeles. Fisher's family gathered at an L.A.-area hospital in support, but the actress died yesterday morning. She was 60. Todd Fisher had just shared this photo with his mother and sister:
At this point, there are few details about Debbie Reynolds's condition. We hope any and all updates bring good news. This family has certainly suffered enough for one week. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
Carrie Fisher Fans Create Star for Her on Hollywood Walk of Fame Posted:
The "Star Wars" icon died Tuesday at age 60, without ever getting her own official star. So an enterprising fan created one, reading: CARRIE FISHER According to The Hollywood Reporter, visiting fans created a line down Hollywood Boulevard on Wednesday, waiting for their chance to take a photo or leave flowers, candles, cinnamon rolls, or a lightsaber. "This will do until she gets an official one," one visitor told THR. Another told the site, "I'm shocked she doesn't already have a star. But I'm not at all surprised a fan made one for her." Watch some of the visitors pay their respects:
Fisher was most famous for her role as Princess Leia, but she was also a celebrated writer, author, advocate, and actress in many other films and TV series. Before her Dec. 23 heart attack, she had completed her work in "Star War: Episode VIII," and just recently taped another appearance for the sitcom "Catastrophe." She will also be heard in two upcoming episodes of "Family Guy." Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
Ryan Reynolds Has a Cameo as Deadpool in 'Logan' (UPDATE) Posted:
The Wrap reports that Ryan Reynolds has shot a cameo for the upcoming "Logan" movie." The scene, which was filmed by "Deadpool 2" director David Leitch, will be featured after the credits, rather than within the main part of the movie. That should somewhat alleviate fan concerns about putting the two characters in the same movie again. They appeared together in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," a pretty terrible movie that "Deadpool" snarkily tweaked. Still, the characters share a long history in the comics, and Reynolds has previously said he wants to make one more Deadpool/Wolverine movie. But Hugh Jackman announced his intention that "Logan" be his final outing. "What we're gonna have to do is convince Hugh," Reynolds said. "If anything, I'm going to need to do what I can to get my internet friends back on board to help rally another cause down the line." It might be a lost cause, and not just because of the first movie's negative response. The two franchises have very different tones — "Deadpool" is cheeky, where Wolverine movies are dark — and it's unclear how a team-up movie would fit in the new timeline created in "X-Men: Days of Future Past." "Logan" takes place in 2024, when mutant births have declined for an unknown reason. An older Wolverine cares for an ailing Professor X (Patrick Stewart), but had left his superhero days behind him when he's called on to mentor a young mutant girl. The movie opens in theaters March 3. *** UPDATE: Both Ryan Reynolds and "Logan" director James Mangold took to Twitter to refute TheWrap's report:

James Cameron Previews 'Avatar' Theme Park at Disney World Posted:
The theme park has been building a Pandora-inspired attraction for the past three years and is set to open this summer. Disney released a sneak peek at the "Avatar" attraction, showing glimpses at a river ride through a bioluminescent forest and a simulator meant to feel like riding on the flying Banshee creatures. "I don't know if I can even express how it feels to see something that I imagined in 1995 suddenly made physically made real," said Cameron. Everything in Pandora land is custom-designed, and the video previews the lifelike plant structures that glow and pulsate when touched. Joe Rohde, a senior VP with Disney Imagineering, said, "I was very skeptical that it was even physically possible to build the world of Pandora. This was a crazy thing to try to do." Cameron touted the two rides. "There's something pretty amazing at the end of that river ride that you've never seen anything like in your life," he raved. As for the Banshee simulatr, "You're going to plunge, you're going to dive, you're going to see the world flying through it." It'll be a refresher course for parkgoers before the release of "Avatar 2" in 2018, and three other sequels in following years. Want more stuff like this?

'Broadchurch' Season 3 Teaser Brings Back David Tennant and Olivia Colman For New Mystery Posted:
"We have one last story to tell, featuring both familiar faces and new characters," said writer Chris Chibnall. "I hope it's a compelling and emotional farewell to a world and show that means so much to me." The brief teaser doesn't allude to the plot at all, but fans can expect DI Alec Hardy and DS Ellie Miller to take on a new case, involving sexual assault, in their close-knit Dorset community. The teaser indicates that grieving Latimer parents Beth (Jodie Whittaker) and Mark (Andrew Buchan) are back, as well as Arthur Darvill's vicar Paul Coates. "Broadchurch" season 3 is set to air sometime in early 2017 on BBC America. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
Watch Kevin Spacey Do a Frighteningly Good Impression of Al Pacino Posted:
The "House of Cards" star showed off maybe his best impression yet last night at the 39th Annual Kennedy Center Honors when he mimicked honoree Al Pacino. Spacey told the audience, including President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, the three steps to doing the "perfect Al Pacino impression." The second step involves looking surprised. "Al, for some reason, always looks a little surprised," Spacey explained. "If you look at his face, it's like, 'What just happened? The last thing I remember, I was snorting a wheelbarrow full of cocaine in 'Scarface,' and now I'm sitting next to the president. Whoa! How did that happen?" All joking aside, Spacey paid a warm tribute to his friend and fellow Oscar winner. "Look, the reason that all of us love to do an impersonation of Al Pacino is that he's created characters that are unforgettable, and that's because, for Al Pacino, it's not just business," he said. "It's not just business — it's craft. And I've been fortunate enough to know him a long time and work with him. I adore you. Congratulations, my friend." Want more stuff like this?

'Supergirl' Star Files for Divorce From 'Glee' Costar: Report Posted:
Benoist, 28, reportedly cited "irreconcilable differences" in the court documents, and doesn't want either party to have spousal support. She just wants to change her legal name back to Melissa Benoist. Benoist and Jenner got engaged in 2013 and were reportedly married in March 2015, so the marriage lasted less than two years. They had no children. Jenner won "The Glee Project" in 2012 and played Ryder Lynn on "Glee" from 2012-2015. Benoist played Marley Rose on "Glee" from 2012-2014. Jenner guest starred in two episodes of "Supergirl" earlier this year, and was recently in the movie "The Edge of Seventeen." "I love working with him," Benoist told People in March 2016. "We only have fun working together. He's my person to act with. He's my favorite scene partner, always." Why did they split? A source told Us Weekly, "The distance was an issue, things weren't working. It's amicable and mutual." It's also too bad, but distance is often an issue in Hollywood relationships, when couples film apart for long periods of time. "Supergirl" Season 2 returns to The CW on January 16, 2017.

Carrie Fisher's Beloved Dog Has Found a New Owner Posted:
Family friends told TMZ that Lourd is taking custody of Gary, who was on the London-to-LA plane with Fisher on Dec. 23 when the "Star Wars" icon had her massive heart attack.
Gary was Fisher's therapy dog, helping her with her bipolar disorder. The adorable canine went everywhere with her, and became a celebrity in his own right. "His" tweet after her death left fans heartbroken:
Carrie Fisher died Tuesday, Dec. 27 at age 60. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
10 Top-Grossing Actors of 2016: Scarlett Johansson Slays All Posted:
Scarlett Johansson leads Forbes's list of the year's top-grossing actors, bringing in $1.2 billion at the worldwide box office. The top three -- Johansson, Chris Evans, and Robert Downey Jr. -- all earned their spots from "Captain America: Civil War." Johansson edged out her bros thanks to also starring in "Hail, Caesar!" (Forbes calculated its ranking from 2016 global ticket sales for actors who were top billed/had the most screen time, but it didn't count animated movies where only the actors's voices were used; if Forbes had included animated films, Johansson's roles in "The Jungle Book" and "Sing" would boost her even higher.) Forbes noted that the list is mostly made up of superhero stars, whether from Marvel or DC -- with Margot Robbie topping DC's contingent. Felicity Jones is the only actor in the top 10 without a link to a comic book character.
A few months ago, it was revealed that Johansson is Hollywood's highest-grossing actress of all time, thanks again to her roles in "The Avengers." This is not to be confused with highest-paid lists, though. On that front, Johnny Depp remains the most overpaid actor. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

'Game of Thrones' Season 7 Has Scenes So Epic They May Be 'Unfilmable' Posted:
Season 7 is the penultimate season, with Season 8 also expected to be shorter than usual, and the actors have all talked about how the story is building toward its conclusion. Everything is ramping up for the end, so we won't be surprised to see big, spectacular sequences like the battle of Hardhome, but also with dragons, since Daenerys Targaryen was last seen bringing her three kids across the Narrow Sea.
All we really know is that "Game of Thrones" is based on George R.R. Martin's series called "A Song of Ice and Fire," which hints to it being Jon + Dany's combined story; Martin has said the ending he has planned for the series is "bittersweet," and reminiscent of "The Lord of the Rings." Season 7 is expected to finish filming in February for a premiere this summer. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
