NBC's Most Surprising Pick Up News Yet

10 May 2012 3:31 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

"30 Rock" and "Parenthood" have both been renewed by NBC so get ready for more laughs, tears and laughter-induced tears.

"30 Rock" will be back for a seventh and final season, consisting of a shortened 13 episodes. The former critical and fan favorite has seen its ratings diminish in its current Season 6.

The final season plan aligns with what series star Alec Baldwin has told the press and what "30 Rock" star/creator Tina Fey has hinted at. Both Baldwin and Fey are contracted through Season 7 and in early April 2012, Fey appeared on "The View" and said "the end of the show is visible on the horizon."

Earlier this week, Deadline reported that NBC was eying "30 Rock" for one more shortened season after locking in several key behind-the-scenes players.

In the most surprising pick up news of the week, "Parenthood" will be back for a fourth season. The critical darling -- with Peter Krause, »

‘Poltergeist’ Remake Has Sam Raimi As Producer!

28 April 2012 3:35 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Tobe Hooper’s haunted house classic Poltergeist is another horror film set for the remake treatment. But this time Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes company are, thankfully, not the ones in charge. MGM has confirmed that Evil Dead director Sam Raimi will produce their new remake. The film will not be the only cult horror favourite that Raimi is involved with in a producing capacity, he is also overseeing a reboot of his own Evil Dead but directed by Fede Alverez.

The original 1982 Poltergeist is still considered one of the finest spooky stories of all time, and went on to spawn two sequels. Steven Spielberg served as producer on the film and many of the actors involved in the making still insist that he should have had his name as director, going so far to say The Texas Chainsaw Massacre helmer Hooper, did very little on the picture. Poltergeist starred Craig T. Nelson, »

Posterized Propaganda April 2012: Where Art and Commerce Meet

2 April 2012 8:06 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

“Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover” is a proverb whose simple existence proves the fact impressionable souls will do so without fail. This monthly column focuses on the film industry’s willingness to capitalize on this truth, releasing one-sheets to serve as not representations of what audiences are to expect, but as propaganda to fill seats. Oftentimes they fail miserably.

There’s a good mix of work coming out in April and the posters do well to mirror such. I’m not quite sure how Rodrigo Cortés‘ could have his first film Buried possess one of the best poster series of 2010 and then return to big screens with the lackluster Vodka Creative sheet for Atm, but not everything can be perfect.

I can’t complain too much, however, since the month does bring some quality pieces of marketing material. And while Jack Black‘s creepy pedo-stash and Cardinal »

'30 Rock' - 'The Shower Principle': 30 Rock already did it!

30 March 2012 7:54 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

A review of last night's "30 Rock" coming up just as soon as I pants Deepak Chopra while Craig T. Nelson tapes it... There's been a lot of discussion in the comments this season about how much Liz has or hasn't grown since the series began, and also about whether "30 Rock" is a show that needs character development — or if, in fact, that growth would be counter-productive on such a silly, cartoonish show. I've never believed that every sitcom has to make its characters grow and change. Sure, it's gratifying to see that happen on "The Office" or "Frasier," »

Brian Kirk in Talks To Direct Robert Ludlum's The Osterman Weekend

29 February 2012 7:31 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire director Brian Kirk is currently in talks to direct the feature film adaptation of Robert Ludlum's novel The Osterman Weekend

The script for the film was written by Simon Kinberg and Jesse Wigutow, and the story sounds pretty awesome. I've read a few of Ludlum's novels over the years, but not this one. According to Deadline, the story is a conspiracy murder mystery that follows the man on the run. "On the eve of an annual weekend getaway with friends, John Tanner is visited by a reporter who tells him his friends aren’t who he thinks they are. When the reporter turns up dead, Tanner gets caught in downward spiral of doubt and paranoia and, ultimately, a desperate fight to stay alive long enough to figure out who he can trust and who’s out to kill him."

Kirk Helms "Osterman Weekend" Remake

28 February 2012 9:06 PM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

He may have missed out on helming the "Thor" sequel, but that hasn't stopped demand for the skill of Brian Kirk who has entered talks to direct the long-gestating adaptation of "The Osterman Weekend" at Lionsgate/Summit Entertainment and Captivate Entertainment reports Deadline.

The second and shortest novel of 'Bourne' series author Robert Ludlum, the story has the host of an investigative news show becoming convinced by a CIA agent that the friends he has invited to a weekend getaway in the country are engaged in a Kgb conspiracy that threatens national security.

The book was adapted once before in 1983 and marked the final film of trend-setting helmer Sam Peckinpah's career. John Hurt, Craig T. Nelson, Rutger Hauer, Dennis Hopper, Meg Foster, Burt Lancaster and Chris Sarandon all starred.

Simon Kinberg and Jesse Wigutow penned the reboot which ditches the Cold War and spy elements and will switch around some of the occupations. »

'Parenthood' Cast Makes An Adorable Music Video

23 February 2012 6:55 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

This week's episode of "Parenthood" (Tuesdays at 10 p.m. Est on NBC) certainly brought a lot of tears, but the ensemble cast made up for it by releasing an adorable, smile-worthy music video set to a cover of Lfo's "Girl On TV," which Teen Vogue exclusively posted.

Musician Landon Pigg -- who is dating "Parenthood" star Mae Whitman, who plays Amber on the hour-long drama -- did a cover of the 1999 boy band hit and the Whitman's fellow cast members stepped in to make an accompanying music video.

Pairing off, the video mainly features Whitman, Miles Heizer (Amber's brother, Drew), Bonnie Bedelia (their grandmother Camille), Craig T. Nelson (her husband Zeek, the "Parenthood" patriarch), Savannah Paige Rae (Braverman cousin Sydney) and scene-stealer Tyree Brown (Jabbar, another Braverman cousin).

Long-time guest star Michael B. Jordan also lends some rapping skills to the track with his on-again-off-again on-screen girlfriend Sarah Ramos dancing in the background. »

'Parenthood' cast rocks Landon Pigg video, plus: Mae Whitman, Miles Heizer, and Dax Shepard talk music

22 February 2012 3:19 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

"Parenthood" fans are already familiar with singer-songwriter Landon Pigg. Not only have many of his songs served as background music to tearjerker scenes, but he also appeared as himself this season for a cameo at The Luncheonette, the recording studio owned by Crosby (Dax Shepard) and Adam (Peter Krause).

Now, as Season 3 winds down, Pigg has released this super-awesome video including the "Parenthood" cast, which you can watch below. It's a cover of Lfo's "Girl On TV."

The Pigg vid shows off the skills of real-life girlfriend Mae Whitman and her "Parenthood" co-stars Craig T. Nelson, Tyree Brown, Miles Heizer, Savannah Paige Rae, Bonnie Bedelia, Max Burkholder, Jason Ritter, Shepard, Krause, Erika Christensen, Rosa Salazar, Sarah Ramos, Sam Jaeger, and Lauren Graham.

Michael B. Jordan is even featured on the track, which is just the remedy to last night's completely heartbreaking episode.

We particularly love seeing Heizer break it down, »

Doctor Gash's Tip of the Scalpel: A Tribute to Tobe Hooper

13 January 2012 12:26 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

"The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths, in particular Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother, Franklin. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected, nor would they have wished to see, as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre."

Normally we don't lead with a quote quite that long, but that paragraph, read in the film by John Larroquette (who would go on to star in "Night Court" and several other television series), perfectly set »
