Lindsay Pulsipher Previews Juliette-esque Role in Hatfields & McCoys
25 May 2012 8:23 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Lindsay Pulsipher plays a key role in the upcoming History Channel mini-series Hatfields & McCoys, but allow her to make one thing clear, for all those who know her best from her most recent role:
Roseanna McCoy is the "complete opposite of Crystal Norris," the actress told me over the phone, referring to her True Blood were-panther from season four of that HBO hit. "Roseanne is soft and sweet and innocent."
Still, that won't stop the character from getting involved in a pretty major scandal.
Hatfields & McCoys is based on the true story of two families that feuded after the Civil War. Its impressive cast is anchored by Kevin Costner as Devil Anse Hatfield and Bill Paxton as Randall McCoy.
Pulsipher portrays Roseanna, Randall's daughter and the love interest of Matt Barr's Johnse Hatfield (above).
"Roseanna is the Juliette in this story, the star says. "She falls in love with »

Hatfields & McCoys TV Review – History
23 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
Few stories in American history have such a strange dynamic of awareness and ignorance, and that fact alone gives Hatfields & McCoys the potential to set records for a mini-series that focuses on historic fact (as best they’re known). While virtually everyone knows about the dueling families, not many are truly familiar with all the details, or the seriousness of the feud’s escalation.
Beginning May 28th, History brings you a three-part event that takes you through the entire feud, from a time when the two patriarchs were friends, all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court’s intervention in the hostilities which had brought West Virginia and Kentucky to the brink of their own war.
As you might imagine (or at least, hope), being that the show is airing on History, the strength of the series comes from its commitment to accuracy. It’s hard to find fault »

Box Office: The Avengers Surpasses Star Wars?
22 May 2012 4:08 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Avengers: Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America With a cume of $463.35m after 18 days, Joss Whedon’s The Avengers has surpassed George Lucas’ Star Wars ($460.99m) at the domestic box office, thus officially becoming the fifth biggest blockbuster in history. By next weekend, The Avengers should surpass Lucas’ Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace ($474.54m) to become the fourth biggest domestic blockbuster in history. Impressive? Of course. Any way you look at it, The Avengers‘ box-office performance, whether in North America or abroad, has been phenomenal. The Disney / Marvel actioner has surpassed the expectations of most — if not all — prognosticators. Now, having said that, The Avengers is not a box-office phenomenon on a par with Star Wars. Not even close. Studio/media spin and p.r. b.s. aside, the true barometer of a movie’s success is how many tickets it has sold, »

ABC Announces Fall Schedule – Get A Peek At What’s Coming

Terry O'Quinn as Gavin Doran in "666 Park Avenue" (ABC/Andrew Eccles)
ABC‘s slate of new shows for fall has a strange flavor to it, and it’s going to be a bumpy ride. The network has about as many new shows as returning ones (if you count all the midseasons), and a good percentage of the returning offerings are a year old or less, making this look a bit like a rebuilding year.
Not only is it a rebuilding year, but it’s the year of bringing back every actor and actress who ever had a decent run on a show before. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a network’s new season slate that was so crammed with people returning from something else. If you can’t make it good, I suppose, make sure viewers recognize the faces.
It’s tricky to get a solid feel »

Jennifer Lopez/What To Expect, The Dictator: Box Office Duds
19 May 2012 2:57 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jennifer Lopez, What to Expect When You’re Expecting Still going strong, The Avengers is on its third weekend out. Yet, the domestic box office is expected to be down 18% compared to last year because of three weak new entries: Peter Berg / Taylor Kitsch’s megabudgeted Battleship barely managed to stay afloat on Friday, while Sacha Baron Cohen‘s The Dictator (which opened on Wed.) and Kirk Jones’ all-star ensemble (Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Chace Crawford, etc.) What to Expect When You’re Expecting performed below expectations. [See Box Office: Battleship bombs.] The Dictator grossed an estimated $5.5m at 3,008 theaters on Friday, for an expected weekend total of $16m, as per Deadline.com. Sacha Baron Cohen’s R-rated comedy will thus reach a cume of $23m after five days. For comparison’s sake, Bruno — which was considered a major box-office disappointment following Borat — opened with $30.61m on its first weekend out in July 2009. Supporting Baron »

New TV Season Breakdown: ABC
18 May 2012 4:33 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the third one announced. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on ABC.
An odd year for the once mighty juggernaut which can still pack 'em in. It had surprise success stories with "Once Upon a Time" and "Revenge", the latter becoming an unexpected international hit, and several shows have gotten renewals despite more modest numbers. Still, with it battling with NBC for the third and fourth position overall, the network has to introduce ten shows over the course of the season in the hope of getting a few stickers.
Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen include the fashion label dynasty soap "Americana", ABC's update of the 90's "Beauty and the Beast" TV series, the Roland Emmerich-produced thriller "Dark Horse", the »

'Nashville': Connie Britton is country strong on ABC this fall
15 May 2012 3:47 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
ABC is getting into the music business this fall with "Nashville," which uses the title city's country music industry as a backdrop.
Critical darling Connie Britton ("Friday Night Lights," "American Horror Story") stars in the drama as Rayna James, a former chart-topping singer whose career has hit a rough patch, until her label proposes a "co-headlining" tour with a young star (Hayden Panettiere, "Heroes," "Scream 4"). Think Taylor Swift, but without the humility.
It also works in politics -- Rayna's husband (Eric Close) wants to run for mayor -- and a healthy dose of family drama between Rayna and her father (Powers Boothe). "Thelma and Louise" writer Callie Khouri created the series, and R.J. Cutler ("The September Issue") directed the pilot.
"Nashville" will air at 10 p.m. Et Wednesdays on ABC. Take a look at the trailer:

Nashville: First Look at ABC's New Country Music Drama
The new ABC fall series Nashville stars Connie Britton as chart-topper Rayna James, a country legend with a huge career. While her celebrity power is one that any singer would be jealous of, her popularity is starting to wane.
Enter up-and-comer Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), the new future of country music. Rayna’s record label decides to set up Rayna as the opening act of Juliette’s tour, and you can just imagine how that plan goes. Juliette is eager to steal Rayna’s spotlight, while Rayna is offended to be opening for that “disrespectful, untalented, little vixen". But Rayna may have a chance to step away from the has-been spot when talented, and undiscovered, songwriter Scarlett O'Connor (Clare Bowen), joins forces with Rayna.

ABC is shaking things up for its 2012-2013 schedule.
"Revenge" is heading over to Sunday nights at 9 p.m. Et, the slot the now dead "Desperate Housewives" occupied up until last week. Old standby "Grey's Anatomy" is staying put, as is "Scandal," but they're paired with newcomer "Last Resort."
In a press conference call right after the schedule announcement, ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee said he's not concerned about launching a big action show at 8 p.m. -- especially not "Last Resort," from "The Shield" creator Shawn Ryan.

TV News: ABC Fall Schedule Includes Four New Shows, New Nights For ‘Revenge,’ ‘Happy Endings’
15 May 2012 8:31 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – After an incredibly successful 2011-2012 season, ABC is doing something of a victory lap by not changing much of what worked about a season that saw the network create a number of new hits, including “Revenge,” “Once Upon a Time,” and “Suburgatory.” They will premiere four new shows in the Fall with a few exciting offerings being held for mid-season. “Last Man Standing” and “Body of Proof” will also wait until January.
Much of the ABC schedule for Fall 2012 will look the same as Spring 2012. “Dancing with the Stars,” “Castle,” “The Middle,” “Suburgatory,” “Modern Family,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “20/20” — they’re stayiing exactly where they are. In big movement news, Sundays have been tinkered with again with two of their most interesting sophomore series — “Once Upon a Time” and “Revenge” — moving to the night and leading in to a new series.

The Avengers Box Office: $1 Billion Worldwide, 2nd Weekend Record
13 May 2012 5:44 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Avengers box office: $1 billion worldwide; Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) soars The Avengers has indeed broken another box-office record in North America. If that weren’t enough, if studio estimates are accurate Joss Whedon’s superhero movie starring Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, and Jeremy Renner has passed the $1 billion milestone worldwide — after 19 days out. At 4,349 theaters in North America, The Avengers collected an estimated $103.2m, down a mere 50% compared to the previous weekend. That’s the biggest "second weekend" gross ever, far surpassing James Cameron / Sam Worthington’s Avatar and Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale’s The Dark Knight, which brought in, respectively, $75.61m (about the same in 2012 dollars) and $75.16m (approx. $82m today) according to Box Office Mojo. Even taking 3D and IMAX surcharges into account, The Avengers would still remain quite a bit ahead of the (inflation-adjusted) 2D, modestly »

Weekend Box Office: The Avengers Movie to Break Another Record?
12 May 2012 4:35 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Avengers movie: Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America) The Avengers may be poised to break another box-office record. On its second Friday out, the Joss Whedon-directed superhero movie starring Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth, among others, collected an estimated $29.lm at 4,349 theaters in North America. According to Box Office Mojo, that’s the biggest "second Friday" gross ever, surpassing Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale’s The Dark Knight, which took in $23.2m in summer 2008 (approximately $25.3 in 2012 dollars). Of course, The Avengers has the advantage of 3D surcharges, and it has been showing at many more higher-priced IMAX screens than The Dark Knight ever was. If 3D is factored in (a guesstimate of about 50% of Friday’s tickets sales — as was the case last weekend; 30% average surcharge) then The Avengers‘ box-office take (to reflect actual ticket sales) goes down to approx. $25m — or about the same level as the inflation-adjusted The Dark Knight. »
