By

Fox has slated a midseason return for its six-episode event series Prison Break, which reteams the cast and crew of the original four-season series that aired on the network from 2005-2009.

24 Legacy Trailer

By

Fox has dropped the first trailer for its 24 franchise reboot 24: Legacy. How much does the network like this? It just gave the series the post-Super Bowl slot for its debut on February 5 — the first-ever drama to have its world premiere after the nation’s most-watched TV event. Its two-night premiere continues February 6, when it settles into its Monday 8 PM time slot. The series, starring Straight Outta Compton‘s Corey Hawkins, chronicles a race against the clock to… Read

‘The Nice Guys’ Review: Russell Crowe & Ryan Gosling Are A Lethal (And Pretty Funny) Odd Couple – Cannes

The Nice Guys Review

By

Editors note: Pete Hammond’s video review of The Nice Guys is not available. When I think of the Cannes Film Festival, The Nice Guys — a very commerical, somewhat amusing and brutally violent movie — is decidedly not your typical art house fodder that populates the Official Selection being showcased at the Grand Theatre at the Palais. Yet here it is, making its world premiere last night out of competition in front of a black-tie crowd. Score one for Warner Bros, which… Read

‘The BFG’: New Trailer & Poster For Steven Spielberg’s Take On Roald Dahl Tale

The BFG

By

Steven Spielberg’s The BFG got a 4 1/2-minute standing-O at its Cannes premiere Saturday night, and today Disney released a new trailer for the pic. “Please don’t eat me!” begs the little girl of the enormous dude who reached through her bedroom window and snatched her up. “You think because I’m a giant that I’m a man-gobbling cannibal?” he replies with a laugh. Turns out this isn’t your run-of-the-mill “fee-fi-fo-fum” big-un; no, you can call him the Big Friendly… Read

‘Saturday Night Live’: Leslie Jones Said What?? And Is Drake Meme-Worthy?

Screen shot 2016-05-15 at 9.11.23 AM

By

The “Weekend Update” segment of NBC’s Saturday Night Live had a genuinely surprising moment last night — did anyone else know Leslie Jones’s age? — but perhaps the biggest laugh came from a silly throw-away sorta-pun that followed a where’s-this-going set up. Co-anchor Colin Jost set up the premise by explaining that New York’s Staten Island has a deer population problem, which he blamed on a landmark anti-abortion case for animals. Genuine laughs weren’t exactly… Read

Drake Game For ‘Black Jeopardy’ on ‘Saturday Night Live’; Also, ‘Drake’s Beef’ With Cast

Screen shot 2016-05-15 at 1.24.59 AM

By

Drake was game for a round of Black Jeopardy and just about anything else Saturday Night Live threw at him last night. For most of it, the rapper/singer/songwriter had better game than the NBC show itself, his ease with acting — let’s not forget this Canadian is a former Degrassi kid —  saw him through more than a few laughless bits. Give him credit then for winning Black Jeopardy, which played off the rapper’s Great White North roots and polite nerd demeanor. Sample… Read

The Nice Guys wouldn’t be a Shane Black-Joel Silver movie if there weren’t a lot of stunts, and the guy who guided Ryan Gosling through a number of tosses and tumbles was none other than Russell Crowe. “He has just done it so much, every time we had those scenes, I’d let him drive,” says Gosling. In this clip, Gosling, Crowe and director Shane Black discuss the moment that kicks the action off in The Nice Guys, as seen in the trailer: When Crowe’s brutish debt collector… Read

“I think it was one of the first books that I read by myself in my head,” says award-winning actress Rebecca Hall about the Roald Dahl book Steven Spielberg is bringing to the big screen. “I believed when I was nine years old that I was Sophie, the little girl.” One of the out-of-competition Hollywood highlights here on the Croisette is DreamWorks/Disney’s The BFG which doesn’t hit theaters until July 1 stateside. The film makes its world premiere at the Grand Lumiere… Read

‘The Nice Guys’ Is Set In 1970s Los Angeles When “The Biggest Difficulties Were Smog & Porn” Says Shane Black: Cannes Studio

The Nice Guys Review

By

Those in the Grand Theatre Lumiere tomorrow night are in for a great, hysterical ride as Shane Black’s The Nice Guys makes its Cannes Film Festival premiere before hitting U.S./Canadian theaters on May 20. Though set in 1970s Los Angeles when “the biggest difficulties were smog and porn” per the director, the film is a throwback to Black and producer Joel Silver’s great ’80s action comedy collaborations such as the Lethal Weapon series and The Last Boy Scout. In The Nice… Read

Helmer Kellie Madison Tries To Lift ‘The Gate’ For Female Action Directors

The Gate

By

Who says Kathryn Bigelow is the only female director who can direct action? Kellie Madison, a writer and producer who moved up to directing with the Open Road thriller The Tank –a fact based story where six people entered an Isolated Confined Environment tank to simulate a trip to Mars that turned into a catastrophic failure—is out with a proof of concept video called The Gate, and hopes it will allow her to crack the ranks of hardcore action feature directors. The short… Read
