16 May 2013 11:01 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Eon Productions is a British company that has been involved with almost every James Bond film since 1962.s Dr. No, and it.s rarely strayed from its 007 roots. Seeing as how there probably won.t be another Bond film until 2016, though, Eon is doing some branching out. ScreenDaily reports Eon.s Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are teaming with WestEnd and Neon Film to shop the romantic drama The Silent Storm around the Cannes Film Festival. Set to star in the film are Andrea Riseborough, who recently went sci-fi with Tom Cruise in Oblivion, and Damian Lewis, who is a major reason why Homeland is one of the best shows on television right now. The Silent Storm would be the first feature film for Corinna McFarlane, whose 2008 doc Three Miles North of Molkom was nominated for a BAFTA for Best British Documentary. She would direct from a script she »

Morena Baccarin's family life is so much better than Jessica Brody's. The Homeland star is expecting her first child with writer-director Austin Chick, People reports.  There's no word yet on whether the 33-year-old Baccarin's pregnancy will alter the plot of Homeland's third season, which is currently in production...but wouldn't that be a delicious twist?! The Brazilian-born actress and Chick tied the knot in November 2011. "We are solid," she happily told Britain's Daily Mail just shy of their first anniversary last year.

Homeland’s Casting Directors on How They Found Their Five Main Stars, Including a Sexy Saul

13 May 2013 11:15 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Junie Lowry-Johnson and Libby Goldstein on how they found the hit Showtime series' five main actors. Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) Junie Lowry-Johnson: If we’d said Damian’s name at the beginning, he wouldn’t have gotten much attention, because we were initially looking at well-known actors. Libby Goldstein: People we wanted didn’t want us. A lot of them passed — you’d be surprised who. J.L.J.: One actor really wanted to know whether Brody was a good guy. He didn’t want to play a bad one. L.G.: That’s why he didn’t get the part. Idiot. Also, we wanted someone who looked all-American. J.L.J.: Believable as having been a soldier. L.G.: And that could go on to politics. J.L.J.: We were scrambling, and someone had seen a movie called Keane [a 2004 drama about a father coping with his daughter’s abduction]. When we all saw that film, »

Bafta TV awards 2013: what was missing?

13 May 2013 7:51 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

The decision to broadcast a compressed version of the TV awards later in the evening was problematic, not least because it played down the achievements of drama and documentary

Like a bad play about Shakespeare or a rotten pop song in honour of Elvis, the Bafta television awards have always suffered from a contradiction between content and subject-matter. Honouring the best programmes of the year, the televised ceremony is always at risk of being one of the worst things you'll see in any 12 months.

One of the problems has been excessive length and over-running but the show is now a strict two hours, with eight of the presentations now taking place in advance of transmission and only being shown in a very fast montage at the end of the main broadcast.

The consequence of this compression this year, though, which may encourage conspiracy theorists, is that the BBC got through »

Last Tango dances off with Bafta prize for 'love story about people over 35'

12 May 2013 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

TV awards also go to host Graham Norton, Channel 4's Paralympics coverage, Michael Palin and Clare Balding

One of the stars of BBC1's hit drama Last Tango in Halifax used the programme's Bafta win on Sunday to thank the corporation for "at last" doing a love story about people over 35.

In the face of criticism that the BBC fails to put enough women, or older people, on screen, Anne Reid, who starred with Derek Jacobi in the romantic drama written by Sally Wainwright, said: "I am so glad the BBC has decided at last to do love stories about people who are over 35."

Reid, 77, who accepted the Bafta award for best drama series, was warmly applauded by the audience of TV personalities and executives when she told them: "Some of us do have quite interesting lives when we get to 70."

Her co-star Jacobi said: "Not only the oldies »

The Faces Of 'Homeland' Season 3

9 May 2013 10:45 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Two familiar "Homeland" faces have gotten a promotion, and they both have ties to the new acting director of the CIA: The one and only Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin).

According to HitFix, F. Murray Abraham has been upped to series regular after playing retired black ops specialist Dar Adal in a few key scenes in Season 2, while Sarita Choudhury will finally be getting more screen time (and, we assume, moving back home) as Saul's wife, Mira.

Although not much is known about Season 3 of "Homeland," it will pick up during the aftermath of the terrorist attack at the end of Season 2 that caused Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) to leave the country with the help of Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes).

Additionally, the new season will find Carrie and Saul working to rebuild their personal and professional lives in the midst of a media firestorm about the terrorist attack and the search for Brody. »

Hannibal: a bloody steak with the man who brought Lecter to the small screen

3 May 2013 10:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

Thomas Harris's cannibal killer returns in a contemporary TV prequel. "He's uncategorisable," says showrunner Bryan Fuller

"There's an interview where he talks about meat and how the flavour is limited; blood is what actually makes it tasty. Once you chew the blood away, it's just tissue, it doesn't keep giving."

As soon as showrunner Bryan Fuller found out he was going to be bringing Hannibal Lecter to TV, he knew exactly who he wanted to talk to. Not author Thomas Harris or Anthony Hopkins, but José Andrés, a Spanish chef who trained with El Bulli's Ferran Adrià and popularised a similar strand of show-stopping molecular gastronomy on Us TV cooking shows. They met at a party, Fuller explained what he was working on, and Andrés immediately decided to jump on board.

"I asked him what can you eat on a human being," says Fuller, "and he said, 'Everything is edible. »

Damian Lewis stars in new short film for Jaguar

24 April 2013 7:20 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Damian Lewis (Homeland) can be seen in a new short film for Jaguar, produced in collaboration with Ridley Scott Associates. Desire also stars Shannyn Sossamon (A Knight's Tale) and features music by Lana Del Rey

The 13-minute commercial for the Jaguar F-type, which premiered on YouTube today, is being screened as part of Sundance London's 2013 programming. Lewis channels a bit of James Bond while playing Clark, a man trying to deliver a Jaguar F-type to a shady man at odds with a mysterious young woman (Sossamon). The desert setting for the film required a five-day shoot in Chile. 

Lewis told The Hollywood Reporter: "It sort of fell into my lap. I've never done anything for the online market before, and I just thought it was cool to work with Ridley Scott and [director] Adam Smith. I thought the script had a kind of nod to the Americana that you find in the Coen brothers' movies. »
