23 May 2012 6:40 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
With production underway on Brian Helgeland's Jackie Robinson biopic "42," we now have a number of set photos that provide us our first looks at newcomer Chadwick Boseman and "Shame" star Nicole Beharie respectively portraying Robinson and his wife, Rachel Isum.

Cast also boasts Jon Bernthal as starting pitcher Ralph Branca, Christopher Meloni as in-fielder Leo Durocher, T.R. Knight as travelling secretary Harold Parrott, John C. McGinley as journalist Red Barber and Ryan Merriman as right-fielder Fred "Dixie" Walker.

First Shots From Alex Cross Reboot Starring Matthew Fox And Tyler Perry
18 May 2012 1:17 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
James Patterson’s heroic detective Alex Cross was previously the subject of two so-so films starring Morgan Freeman. The character has featured in a total of eighteen novels from 1993-2011, with Freeman playing lead in adaptations of the first two novels in the series, with Kiss The Girls and Along Came A Spider. Now American writer/director/producer and actor Tyler Perry will step into Freeman’s shoes for the rebooted big-screen franchise. Thn has the first set of images from the psychological-thriller with the now simple title of… Alex Cross.
If the film is a success, there are certainly enough crimes for Perry’s Cross to sink his teeth into. These shots certainly look promising, with Lost’s Matthew Fox in particular, as the films psychotic serial-killer ‘Picasso’ seems frighteningly unrecognisable!

8 Awesome First Images from Alex Cross with Matthew Fox, Tyler Perry & Ed Burns
18 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Alex Cross will be Matthew Fox like we’ve never seen him before. These first images show Fox as an utter killing machine, armed to the teeth with just his bare muscles (and also a gun).
After Morgan Freeman played the role of Dr. Alex Cross in the first two adaptations of James Patterson’s series of books, Tyler Perry will now be front and centre as the detective tasked to track down the killer.
“After Washington DC detective Alex Cross is told that a family member has been murdered, he vows to track down the killer. He soon discovers that she was not his first victim and that things are not what they seem.”
Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious) is behind the camera, with a script co-written by Marc Moss (Along Came a Spider) and Kerry Williamson, adapting Patterson’s 2006 novel, Cross.

We all know how season five of Burn Notice concluded: with Fiona taking one for Michael and the team.

Burn Notice Season 6 Promo
On the guest star front, meanwhile, it's already been confirmed that John C. McGinley and Taryn Manning will make appearances, while TV Line now reports that Richard Burgi (Desperate Housewives, One Tree Hill) will portray a villainous loan shark on episode seven this summer.

Rashida Jones & Olivia Colman Feel The 'Cuban Fury'; Jackie Robinson Biopic '42' Adds John C. McGinley & More
7 May 2012 11:25 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
One of the biggest compliments one could give to the Apatow-era of comedy is the development of talent, often very young and unheralded, from all around the world. Take, for instance, the international ensemble for "Bridesmaids" which featured Americans (Melissa McCarthy, Ellie Kemper), Brits (Matt Lucas, Chris O'Dowd) and Australians (Rose Byrne, Rebel Wilson) side-by-side.
It's something we're seeing reflected in casts more regularly nowadays with Rashida Jones following the trend, heading to the U.K. to star in the dance-comedy "Cuban Fury" along with acclaimed "Tyrannosaur" star Olivia Colman. The two will star opposite Nick Frost and Chris O'Dowd for the tale of a down-on-his-luck man (Frost) who reignites his long-dormant passion for salsa dancing after falling for his gorgeous American boss (Jones). Based on an idea by Frost, lensing begins in seven weeks with Big Talk Film, Studiocanal and Film4 backing what will be the directorial debut of James Griffiths ("Up All Night, »

Burn Notice Season 6 Scoop: Who's Returning?
21 March 2012 10:01 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
A pair of key players will return for multiple episode of Burn Notice this summer.
Entertainment Weekly confirms that Jere Burns and Kristanna Loken will both play important roles on season six, as the former reprises the character of Anson and the latter will be back as Rebecca.
According to a USA source, Anson will be seeking "other devious resources to enact his plans" after being thwarted by Fiona on the season five finale. Will these include Rebecca, outed as a double agent on that same episode? It's safe to assume.
Earlier this month, news also broke that John C. McGinley would recur on Burn Notice as Michael Westen's former mentor. »

Sons of Anarchy Penny and a Scrub Get Burned
18 March 2012 3:37 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
I love it when television shows bring in guest actors who are known for shows that have a completely different tone than the one they are guest starring in. Burn Notice is enlisting a couple of actors for Season 6, one from Scrubs and the other from Sons of Anarchy, who will be incredibly fun to have around despite being thought of for their characters on their original shows. From Scrubs we have John C. McGinley, as well as Taryn Manning from Sons.
The Huffington Post reported McGinley would be portray Tom Card, a CIA training officer responsible for teaching Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) everything he knows. The part will be recurring and McGinley will first appear in the second episode of Season 6. The two haven’t seen each other in some time and Tom is eager to work with Michael, wanting to help him find vindication for being burned so many years ago. »

It's about time to start investigating what the "Burn Notice" espionage operatives will be up to when they return later this year.
Season 6 of the USA show arrives this summer, and though no exact return date has been set, the show has already begun lining up notable guest stars.
The Huffington Post can exclusively reveal that John C. McGinley, best known as Dr. Perry Cox on "Scrubs," will have a recurring role in the new season of "Burn Notice" as Tom Card, the CIA training officer who taught Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) everything he knows.
When Tom and Michael cross paths again, Tom is extremely keen to work with his old protege again; the two weren't in touch after Michael was burned, but Tom always supported Michael's quest to be vindicated and reinstated.
