Great Character Posters For ‘The Newsroom’ Season 2
15 June 2013 2:27 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
They’re really rolling out the PR for the second season of HBO’s The Newsroom starting in the Us this July 14th and, hopefully, starting not too long after in the UK. We’ve had a little teaser trailer that spoke to us in metaphors, then there was the full trailer for the new series and today we’ve got these rather clever character posters.
The Newsroom is Aaron Sorkin’s current play thing, which impressively opens up the world of a TV News Room and comments not only on modern journalism, but asks the question ‘Can we do this better?‘. I loved the first season and what’s impressive is that they base it all around real-life news that’s happened in recent years, pretty much chronologically for the bigger stories.
These new posters play equally on the usual quick-quips of Sorkin’s doing, but also on each »

'The Newsroom' Season 2 Exclusive Sneak Peek!
13 June 2013 2:06 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"The Newsroom" Season 2 is fast approaching (premieres Sun., July 14 at 10 p.m. Et on HBO) and we know a few of the recent news stories they'll be covering on "News Night," the show-within-the-show on the Aaron Sorkin drama.
Now, The Huffington Post has an exclusive first look at eight new character posters of the "News Night" crew, including Will (Jeff Daniels), MacKenzie (Emily Mortimer), Don (Thomas Sadoski), Jim (John Gallagher, Jr.), Maggie (Alison Pill) and the ever-quotable Charlie (Sam Waterston), as well as the new key art for Season 2 with the ominous tagline: "Together they stand alone."
Every black and white poster features a very telling quote from each character. And while there aren't posters for Jane Fonda's Leona Lansing and her onscreen son, played by "The Mindy Project" star Chris Messina, we're pretty sure their characters will be spewing just as much quick wisdom on Season 2 of "The Newsroom. »

Actors Prep in the Lines of Fire
13 June 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Recently, Emily Mortimer says, she and her fellow cast members on HBO’s “The Newsroom” decided that bringing Aaron Sorkin’s rhythmic and plentiful dialogue to life “is like doing an action movie with words — we’re all, in fact, incredibly sexy action heroes.”
The lead-up to all that on-camera repartee requires a certain diligent preparation, though.
Each actor approaches the bread-and-butter task of learning lines differently, depending on the gig. A Sorkin set requires word-perfect, faithful-to-the-script performances, which means “Newsroom” actors start memorizing as soon as the scripts come in, because filming is going on nearly every day.
A three-camera sitcom such as “The Big Bang Theory,” however, is built around rehearsals and joke rewrites and only one night of shooting in front of an audience.
“You can’t really get married to anything too soon,” says cast member Mayim Bialik, who plays neurobiologist Amy. “They’ll change things »

Emmys: 'Newsroom' Star Emily Mortimer Talks About Being Stood Up by Aaron Sorkin
11 June 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
This story first appeared in The Hollywood Reporter's special Emmy stand-alone issue. Like many before her, Emily Mortimer scored her first Aaron Sorkin project with an impressive résumé already under her belt. Her long, film-heavy body of work, with noteworthy indie flicks Lovely and Amazing, Lars and the Real Girl and Woody Allen's Match Point, included flirtations with television -- like a brief, hilarious stint on 30 Rock. But Mortimer was not approached to play The Newsroom's deft and frenetic MacKenzie McHale, the yang to Jeff Daniels' Will McAvoy. She got the part the old-fashioned way: relentlessness.

Does Marcia Gay Harden Outshine Jeff Daniels In “The Newsroom” Season Two Trailer?
10 June 2013 2:35 PM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
And oh yes: Jane Fonda is still a big part of the proceedings.
Believe it or not, I chronicled the entire first season of The Newsroom last year, even though Aaron Sorkin‘s telejournalism drama disappointed me with its hokey political grandstanding, ridiculous dialogue, and the shocking stupidity of semi-professional tantrum bandit MacKenzie McHale (Emily Mortimer‘s character). On the plus side, I loved Jane Fonda‘s nefarious presence as Leona Lansing and occasionally enjoyed Jeff Daniels‘ huffy rancor as Olbermann-like anchor Will McAvoy.
We’re a month away from the show’s July 14 sophomore season, and guess what? Maybe we’ll tune in, thanks to the presence of two killer guest-stars: Marcia Gay Harden (who was amazing on the second season of Damages, if you remember) and Hamish Linklater (who was recently hair-raising on The Good Wife).
The majority of this trailer is what you expect, but Harden »

Review: The Newsroom
10 June 2013 10:06 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Even at his worst, Aaron Sorkin’s television work is at least trying to say something. He may have crashed with Studio 60 after soaring to heights unimagined with Sports Night and The West Wing, but his first series for premium cable, The Newsroom, hews closer to success than failure regardless of its unevenness.
The series debuted on HBO last summer to mixed reviews and is coming to home video in a handsome box set on Tuesday. Lacking the blood, nudity, and shock value of True Blood and Game of Thrones, it nonetheless makes for compelling watching because these are idealized journalists trying to honor the traditions of journalism they were raised on. The series is set in the recent past, allowing the viewers watch as these reporters cover already familiar events, which lets you invest a little more in the characters and not the story.
There’s little doubt »

‘The Newsroom’ Season Two Gets Extended Trailer
10 June 2013 6:36 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
HBO’s ‘The Newsroom‘ has revealed an extended trailer today for the second season, due to hit North American screens in little over a month. The show follows a group of characters who make up the inner workings of a cable newsroom, with each episode reacting to a real-life news story including such things as the Bp Oil Spill or the killing of Osama Bin Laden. Last season even included a story arc about an Nsa whistle-blower; it seems Aaron Sorkin can add psychic to his many talents!
If you haven’t yet caught the first season, then you’ve got until August when it returns to Sky Atlantic and would strongly recommend if you like fast paced American TV dramas. Sorkin, the man behind the show, wrote the screenplays for The Social Network and A Few Good Men but is mainly known for his epic Presidential drama ‘The West Wing »

This Will Be Subtle: 'The Newsroom' Tackles Occupy Wall Street In New Trailer For Season 2
10 June 2013 6:22 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
There is probably no show that engendered as much hate-watching last year as Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom." The highly anticipated show had so much to like about it including a great lead turn from Jeff Daniels, and an all around excellent cast (Emily Mortimer, Alison Pill, Dev Patel, John Gallagher Jr., Jane Fonda, Chris Messina, Terry Crews, Olivia Munn etc). But damn if Sorkin couldn't get out of his own way, with the show seemingly unable to go two minutes without speech-ifying, not to mention two separate and equally tedious romantic subplots that made adults act like junior high teenagers. Can Sorkin right the ship in season two? Um, maybe, but it looks like much more of the same. The Jim/Maggie/Don thing still seems cribbed from "The Office," with Jim even pulling a Halpert, and getting assigned to New Hampshire to get away from Maggie. As for Sorkin and his on-the-nose politics, »

The Newsroom Season 2 Gets Lost In The Desert
4 June 2013 11:29 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Aaron Sorkin’s HBO drama The Newsroom has unveiled its latest promo for the show’s upcoming sophomore season. Make sure to prepare a cool glass of water before you watch. This one may make you thirsty.
The amazing ensemble cast returns for the show’s second season. They are Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, John Gallagher, Jr., Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski, Slumdog Millionaire‘s Dev Patel, the glamorous Olivia Munn and Sam Waterston.
This unusual teaser for season two places Daniels in the desert as his character, Will, examines various workplace vignettes. The video makes the cast’s carious romantic entanglements seem frivolous and silly.
Jane Fonda can be seen on a billboard, but she isn’t one of the characters wandering in the arid desert. This season’s tagline is “Together they stand alone.” That sounds ominous.
Season 2 of The Newsroom promises to revolve around the 2012 election, Occupy Wall »

Aaron Sorkin Says the New Season of 'The Newsroom' Will Focus on One Larger Story
7 May 2013 9:08 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
HBO has released a video teasing the new season of Aaron Sorkin's divisive drama "The Newsroom," set to return on July 14. In addition to promising that doughty "News Night" anchor Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) and his ditzily devoted producer and ex Mac McHale (Emily Mortimer) will continue to be in love but separated by their need to bicker about their past relationship, creator and showrunner Sorkin offers up an interesting tidbit about the new round of episodes. "The second season of 'The Newsroom' has a different structure than the first season did -- there's one story that goes through the entire season," he says, noting that the show will kick off with characters "being prepared for a deposition they're going to have to give in a wrongful termination suit" about something called "Operation Genoa" that will presumably unfold in flashbacks over the 12-episode arc.
