| Final 'Logan' Trailer: Watch Wolverine Mentor a Tough Little Mutant Posted:
20th Century Fox has dropped the final official trailer ahead of the film's March release date. The preview gives us more of the titular mutant (Jackman); his mentor, Professor X (Patrick Stewart); and his new protégé, Laura (Dafne Keen). From what we've seen, it's clear that the mini-mutant is going to be a badass. The trailer shows her holding her own in confrontations with men twice her size. The trailer doesn't just appeal to action lovers, though. There are also poignant moments as Professor X copes with his age and Laura starts to pull on their heartstrings. We don't want "Logan" to be Jackman's last run as Wolverine, but at least he seems to be going out in style. Check out the final trailer. The green band version is below. If you don't mind a little profanity, watch the red band version of the trailer below. "Logan" hits theaters on March 3. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Miguel Ferrer's Death: Cousin George Clooney Issues Heartfelt Statement Posted:
The news is sad for fans, but it's all the more heartbreaking for his friends and family, including his cousin and former co-star George Clooney. The actor spoke out about his family's loss later in the day, issuing a touching statement. "Today history will mark giant changes in our world, and lost to most will be that on the same day Miguel Ferrer lost his battle to throat cancer. But not lost to his family," Clooney said, according to People. "Miguel made the world brighter and funnier and his passing is felt so deeply in our family that events of the day, (monumental events), pale in comparison. We love you Miguel. We always will." Ferrer left his mark on a number of popular film and TV projects over the years. In addition to "NCIS: LA" and "Twin Peaks," he starred in the film "Robocop," voiced the villain in "Mulan," and starred in "Crossing Jordan." He'll also be seen in the upcoming "Twin Peaks" revival, which is slated to premiere in May. Beyond acting, Ferrer was a father of two. He reportedly died at home with friends and family around him.[via: People] This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Missing 'Scandal'? ABC's New Digital Spinoff Is Here to Tide You Over Posted:
To tide fans over during the mid-season hiatus of "Scandal," ABC has launched its new digital spinoff series, "Scandal: Gladiator Wanted." In it, fixer extraordinaire Pope (Kerry Washington) is on the campaign trail, so we follow the rest of the gang as they scramble to try to find a new intern to join the crisis management team. Although the miniseries is comprised of just six parts and each episode is only a couple of minutes long, the drama lives up to the show's title. Darby Stanchfield, who plays Abby in "Scandal," directs the miniseries as well as stars in it. She is joined by her fellow "Scandal" cast mates Katie Lowes, Guillermo Diaz, Cornelius Smith Jr., and George Newbern. Watch the trailer below. "Scandal: Gladiator Wanted" is now available on ABC.com. "Scandal" returns at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Thursday, Jan. 26 on ABC. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Dwayne Johnson's 'Shazam!' Role Has Grown Into a 'Black Adam' Movie Posted:
New Line has reportedly split the "Shazam!" project it has long in the works into two films. Rather than just having Johnson in a supporting role as the superhero's rival, he'll play the complicated Black Adam in his own film, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Apparently, network execs wanted to take advantage of Johnson's surging star power. The decision makes sense, particularly following a year that saw other unconventional heroes emerge, including in "Deadpool" and "Suicide Squad." Black Adam will have his chance to do good, while still being a bad guy of sorts. We don't know any plot details yet, though, because the project doesn't have a writer or filmmaker attached yet. In the DC Comics stories, Black Adam battles Shazam, a superhero originally known as Captain Marvel. Although once very villainous, Black Adam has started to become more of an antihero. It sounds like he may get a chance to redeem himself on the big screen.[via: THR] This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Anne Hathaway May Join Rebel Wilson in 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' Remake 'Nasty Women' Posted:
According to Deadline, Hathaway is currently circling the project, which would team her with Wilson in the roles originally played by Steve Martin and Michael Caine in the 1988 flick. The gender-bending swap will also reportedly affect the film's plot, with the duo -- one described as high class, one as low class -- now focused on scamming a tech prodigy out of his fortune, rather than swindling a wealthy heiress. And Hathaway's potential casting isn't the only big news for the film: It's also being retitled, from "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" to "Nasty Women." The name is a riff on the phrase that was popularized during the 2016 election, when Donald Trump infamously referred to opponent Hillary Clinton as "a nasty woman" during one of the presidential debates. The term was later adopted by supporters of Clinton as a sort of badge of honor. It's unclear just when producers are planning to get started on "Nasty Women," and both Hathaway and Wilson are currently tied up with other projects: Hathaway is shooting the star-studded spinoff "Ocean's Eight," while Wilson is in the midst of production on "Pitch Perfect 3." Hopefully this flick will come together once those films are completed. Stay tuned. [via: Deadline] This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| See Bryan Cranston as Zordon in New 'Power Rangers' Trailer Posted:
It's the latter character who's of most interest, since Cranston's casting was a bit of a head-scratcher at the time it was announced. What was the award-winning Oscar nominee doing in a reboot of a silly kids' TV series? It turns out that the actor was quite impressed by the script, particularly its handling of teenage issues like bullying, and compared its transformation from campy television show to serious big-screen feature to that of another superhero series, "The Dark Knight."Though we're not necessarily getting "Dark Knight" vibes from this trailer, it does have a decidedly different mood from past "Power Rangers" projects we've seen, and Cranston's presence adds some gravitas to the proceedings. His version of Zordon can probably best be described as "anthropomorphic screen," and though that sounds pretty odd, it does look pretty cool in action (and light-years more advanced than the giant blue floating head used in the '90s TV version). The "dark and gritty" trend has been done to death (a fan-made short film even tried this tactic before with "Power Rangers," with surprisingly successful results), but this flick looks like it has potential to be more than just another reboot for the sake of reboot. We'll remain cautiously optimistic for now. "Power Rangers" is due in theaters on March 24. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Celine Dion to Perform New Song for 'Beauty and the Beast' Remake Posted:
Celine Dion will be joining the chorus for the film's official soundtrack, singing a brand new song written specifically for the remake. The singer revealed the exciting news on Twitter, sharing with fans that she was "thrilled" to be performing the tune, titled "How Does A Moment Last Forever."
This is a welcome return to the Disney family -- and "Beauty and the Beast" specifically -- for Dion, following her collaboration with the studio on the original flick back in 1991, for which she sang the pop single version of the title track alongside Peabo Bryson. The tune became a radio hit and scored several Grammy nominations (and took home the trophy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals), and helped launch Dion's career in the U.S. According to Entertainment Weekly, "How Does a Moment Last Forever" is described as "an emotional ballad about holding onto life's precious moments," which sounds like the perfect fit for the Canadian chanteuse. It's a sweet gesture to invite Dion to be a part of the new version of "Beauty," and we can't wait to hear her voice in a Disney flick again. The "Beauty and the Beast" soundtrack hits shelves on March 10. The film is due in theaters on March 17. [via: Celine Dion] This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Attention, Network Execs: Jennifer Aniston Wants to Return to Television Posted:
The A-list actress recently revealed that she's considering joining fellow high-profile stars like Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Viola Davis, Matthew McConaughey, and Kevin Spacey on the small screen, thanks to the wealth of creative opportunities the medium is offering actors. In an interview with Variety, Aniston explained that the current television landscape is an exciting one, and she's open to going back to her roots. "I've thought about it a lot," the actress said of a potential TV return. "That's where the work is. That's where the quality is. At this point in my career, I want to be part of wonderful stories, exciting characters, and also just having a good time." Aniston also noted that shooting films in exotic locations across the globe was fun earlier in her career, but she's eager to look for work that's closer to home, and in a lower-stress environment. "The experience needs to be a good experience," the actress told Variety. "I have no time for the yelling, angry directors, or bad behavior anymore." If and when Aniston does decide to make the leap back to television, we'll definitely be there for her. [via: Variety] This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| An Ode to the Very '90s 'The Long Kiss Goodnight': Podcast Posted:
This week, we take hard look at screenwriter Shane Black's '90s action opus "The Long Kiss Goodnight," starring a bleach-blonde Geena Davis, a sassy Samuel L. Jackson, Brian Cox (aka Prof. Curmudgeon), and Craig Bierko as the villainous Dr. Crazy Eyes. Director Renny Harlin made one hell of an action movie, and it deserves to be watched with clear eyes and a full heart because you can't lose with this one. CAN'T WAIT!

| 'A Dog's Purpose' Director & Actor Josh Gad 'Shaken' by 'Disturbing' Video Posted:
After the video was released on TMZ, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) called for a boycott of the film. The dog and handler in the video were supplied by Birds and Animals Unlimited (BAU), which PETA has been targeting for alleged animal abuses via its own exposé video. Producer Gavin Polone told Deadline he was "horrified" by what he saw:
Palone said he was conscious and careful about animal care while he was on set, but admitted he wasn't there for the second unit shooting. He also added an interesting note about the timing:
Director Lasse Hallstrom tweeted his reactions:
Josh Gad, who voices the main dog in the movie, issued a statement: — Josh Gad (@joshgad) January 19, 2017 Amblin, which hired BAU for the shoot, also issued a statement (via Deadline):
"A Dog's Purpose" is scheduled to open Friday, Jan. 27. That film is in the spotlight right now, thanks to the on-set video going public, but PETA's point with its new exposé is to show that this is more common than fans know, and it has happened on the sets of many beloved films you've already seen.

| 'Grey's Anatomy': Meredith 'Tries to Track Down Alex' in 'Jukebox Hero' Posted:
The Jan. 26 episode sends several doctors -- including Jo -- into a maximum security prison. In that episode, TV Guide reports, Jo realizes that Alex may not have a trial, and he may take a plea for jail time, and "her gut reaction surprises everybody. Unfortunately, it may be too late for her do anything about it." Sounds like she does not want Alex to go to jail on her account. (Somehow, in all of this, DeLuca will still be blamed for not just quietly accepting Alex's beatdown.) Which brings us to the Feb. 2 episode, "Jukebox Hero," whose ABC synopsis suggests Alex is either still in limbo considering his options or has actually gone missing:
The photos ABC shared to promote "Jukebox Hero" don't show Alex at all -- or Meredith, for that matter, since the photo above is from earlier in Season 13 -- they focus more on the Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) and Dr. Eliza Minnick (Marika Dominczyk) storyline, which appears to include Jo, Dr. Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw), Dr. Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary), Dr. Leah Murphy (Tessa Ferrer), and Dr. Ben Warren (Jason George). Here are some of the Feb. 2 teaser pics: Later in Season 13, after the maximum security prison-set "You Can Look (But You'd Better Not Touch)" on Jan. 26, and "Jukebox Hero" on Feb. 2, fans can look forward to a "pivotal" Japril episode set in Montana, and some kind of standalone episode set on a plane, among other treats.

| Steve Carell Devastates 'The Office' Fans With NBC Revival Joke Posted:
You probably heard the news yesterday that NBC is officially reviving "Will & Grace" for a 10-episode run. Around the same time as those reports, Carell tweeted this to his nearly 5 million followers:
That was rapidly liked and shared by fans who celebrated with happy "Office" GIFs. *However* this is where the actor's supervillain side shows. Six minutes later, he updated with this:
Brilliant! Or, as one fan called it, "what a toby move." Others replied to Carell with angry "Office" GIFs, which also happened to perfectly suit the moment:
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you troll. For once, Michael Scott got the job done right the first time. However, this should be a good lesson to NBC: Look at how many fans were thrilled at the idea of "The Office" returning. Maybe there's more gold to be mined there...

| Watch Johnny Depp's Emotional Thank You Speech at People's Choice Awards Posted:
Depp has had a rough couple of years, so it is a bit surprising that he's still winning fan awards. On a film front, he's had a string of big misses, from "Mortdecai" to "Alice Through the Looking Glass," and he was named the most overpaid actor in Hollywood for the second hear in a row. His inclusion in the "Fantastic Beasts" movies was also criticized, with vocal fans wishing he were recast. And, of course, on a personal front, he's been in an ugly divorce battle with Amber Heard, facing allegations of abuse in their barely-a-year marriage. So you can imagine his gratitude and relief to be named Favorite Movie Icon at last night's show. The crowd cheered for him and presenter Jada Pinkett Smith even called him one of her "personal favorites." The moment was not lost on Depp, who retained his slurring, quasi-Jack Sparrow accent when offering a heartfelt thank you to the People.
Watch the speech:
For reference, to win Favorite Movie Icon, Johnny Depp was voted over fellow nominees Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Cruise, and Tom Hanks. So -- sorry, guys -- Depp is still The Man to The People. Or at least to the voters at the 2017 People's Choice Awards. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

| 11 Things We Learned About 'The Emoji Movie,' 'Smurfs,' and More at the Sony Animation Event Posted:
At a recent event in Culver City, California, where Sony highlighted their upcoming animated slate, we learned a lot about "The Emoji Movie," "Smurfs: The Lost Village," a holiday movie featuring a donkey who follows the Star of Bethlehem, "Hotel Transylvania 3," and the upcoming movie written by "Hamilton" star Lin-Manuel Miranda. Here is a quick recap: Naturally, there will be plenty of poop jokes says director Tony Leondis. The director also says that "WTF?!" is the first reaction he gets from people when told there is an emoji movie happening. 2. Emojis Have Feelings, Too That threatens all the other emojis, who might get deleted if one of them malfunctions. Maya Rudolph voices Smiler (the very first emoji, whose job is to keep all the other emojis in line). 3. The Emojis Pull a "Wreck-It-Ralph' and Journey Outside Their App Meanwhile, costar Demi Lovato made everyone feel old by admitting she did her research on the Smurfs by "asking my parents." 5. Julia Roberts Gets to Be a Smurf The blue heroine finds that she has Smurf sisters who are part of a lost Smurf village. Much like The Powerpuff Girls, there are three and one is named Blossom. That bubbly character is voiced by Ellie Kemper, while Ariel Winter is the more practical Lily and Michelle Rodriguez is the tougher Storm. And is there someone for Papa Smurf (Mandy Patinkin)? He seems quite smitten with Smurfwillow (Julia Roberts), the female matriarch of these strange Smurfs. The rest of the all-star voice cast includes Jack McBrayer as Clumsy and Danny Pudi as Brainy. Rainn Wilson voices the evil Gargamel. Gordon Ramsay cameos as a quick-tempered Baker Chef (a-doy!) and Titus Burgess voices Vanity Smurf. 6. The Smurfs Will Return to Their Original Look 7. Say Hello to a Smurf That Eats... Tables? Because That's a Thing 8. Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, and Tracy Morgan Will Play Camels in "The Star" He's joined by a sheep ("SNL" star Aidy Bryant) and Dave the Dove (Keegan-Michael Key). There's also Anthony Anderson as the paranoid goat, Zach, with Gina Rodriguez as Mary and Zachary Levi as Joseph. Producer DeVon Franklin and director Timothy Reckart said nearly everyone they asked on their "dream cast" list said "yes." And, of course, choosing "Jane the Virgin" star Rodriguez as Mary was "obvious casting." Onboard, Dracula (Adam Sandler) falls for captain Ericka (whose casting was not announced), a descendant of Van Helsing! 10. Get Ready for "Puppy" 11. Set Sail for Lin-Manuel Miranda's "Vivo" in 2020 Academy Award-nominated director Kirk De Micco ("The Croods") will direct from a script by Pulitzer Prize winner Quiara Alegría Hudes ("In the Heights').
