Ironclad Sequel Ironclad: Battle for Blood Sells at Cannes
17 May 2013 11:16 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Well this is a surprise. I didn’t even know they were making a sequel to the 2011 medieval siege film “Ironclad” starring James Purefoy (“The Following”) and Kate Mara. But they are, and Jonathan English, who co-wrote/directed the first film, is doing the honors again for the sequel, “Ironclad: Battle for Blood”. “Battle for Blood” will star “Game of Thrones” alums Michelle Fairly and Roxanne McKee, with Danny Webb: Ironclad: Battle For Blood is a hellacious ride featuring the ultra-violent medieval action that has characterized this epic series. With a new battleground and a new enemy, one of the few survivors of the Great Siege of Rochester Castle fights a brutal battle to protect his family’s estate from fierce Celtic raiders. Ironclad: Battle For Blood promises to deliver the same ferocious, adrenaline-filled action and gory kills that defined Ironclad. That synopsis doesn’t exactly say who the »

Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy brought to life the dark and creepy battle between Ryan Hardy and Joe Carroll on The Following this year, revealing that anyone can be a follower, death is around the corner and writing the perfect novel is easier said then done.

Best episode: The pilot really got the ball rolling on what type of show The Following would be and the creepy, gritty, dark, and intense aspects of the show ramped up to a riveting and best episode, "The Siege." Ryan Hardy not only closed in on Paul, Emma, and Jacob, but it felt like we were at a game changing moment. Everything felt like it was all going to be exposed and explored, »

The season finale of The Following has come and gone, and we’ve already moved on to details about season2. We still have plenty of questions like whether or not serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) is still alive, are there new followers, and what happens after that surprise cliffhanger?
Answers won’t come until season 2 – likely in the company of more questions and mysteries – and while some fans might be ready to jump ship after the conclusion of the first season, it might be comforting to know that series creator Kevin Williamson, the man behind the Scream franchise, planned this tale through season 3.
Speaking with TV Line, executive producer Marcos ...

In The Following season 1 finale, viewers were more than surprised to see the show’s proverbial puppet master, Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), go up in a flames after a suspenseful stand-off with Ryan Hardy.

Behind 'The Following' Finale
30 April 2013 12:44 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"The Following" finale was explosive and deadly ... maybe.
Warning; Do not read if you haven't seen "The Following" Season 1 finale, titled "The Final Chapter."
"The Following" finale ended with Joe Carroll seemingly dead after an explosion. The FBI confirmed remains matched his dental records, but this is a TV show after all. According to The Hollywood Reporter, star James Purefoy, the man behind Joe Carroll, joked about a possible return in Season 2. When asked whether he was contracted for the sophomore season, THR reports he said, “I believe so, but that’s not a guarantee." Fox did not return a request for comment regarding Purefoy's status with the show.
The episode ended with Kevin Bacon's hero Ryan Hardy getting stabbed by his ex/neighbor Molly (Jennifer Ferrin). Molly then turned her knife on Claire (Natalie Zea) and the screen faded to black. It's safe to say Bacon, the star of the show, »

Kevin Bacon's serial killer fever dream reaches its climax tonight over on Sky Atlantic. Have you been keeping up? Catch up with the story so far ...
The Following, a brooding, breakneck fever dream about a serial killer cult leader and the dogged ex-fbi agent on his trail is coming to an end tonight (Tuesday, 10pm, Sky Atlantic). Well, we say end – but as it's been picked up for a second series, there's every chance we will be left in some kind of limbo instead of watching Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) write his final chapter.
Over the past 14 weeks, it has been classic shout-along viewing. Don't go into that unlit cellar alone! Turn your phone back on! Let the FBI know where you are!

The Following Episode 115
Written By: Kevin Williamson
Directed By: Marcos Siega

In This Episode...
A child wearing a Poe mask shows up outside the FBI command center. The kid was paid $20 by a woman named Emma to deliver this mask. He takes it off and hands it over to Ryan. A phone number is inside. The call goes to a cell phone in the coffin with Debra. They can’t track the signal (naturally) so Debra describes what she can remember about where they took her. In the meantime, local cops spotted the car that Debra was abducted in. Mike and Ryan arrive, along with half the FBI, and discover it is a trap - they wanted the car to be found. Alex is laying in wait in the woods, and opens fire. Mike and several other agents lay down cover fire so Ryan can sneak up behind Alex. »

TV Review: The Following Season One Finale, 'The Final Chapter'
30 April 2013 | The Daily BLAM! | See recent The Daily BLAM! news »
The Following is a serial killer drama series created by Kevin Williamson (The Vampire Diaries, Dawson's Creek, Scream) and stars Kevin Bacon, James Purefoy and Shawn Ashmore. The series will return for a second season on Fox. The FBI estimates there are currently up to 300 active serial killers in the United States. What would happen if these killers had a way of communicating and connecting with each other? What if they were able to work together and form alliances as they left a trail of blood across the country? What if one brilliant and charismatic, yet psychotic serial killer was able to bring them all together and activate a cult of believers following his every command? Season One, Episode 15 I've been hating The Following for the past few weeks but I'm happy to say that at »

'The Following' finale: Who lived to see Season 2 in the final showdown between Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy?
30 April 2013 12:45 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Watching "The Following" is a little bit like watching a horror movie where the heroine runs up the stairs instead of out the door... which is oddly appropriate. Kevin Williamson's "Scream" series mocked horror tropes while embracing them, and "The Following" takes a similar stance on the craft of writing and the archetypes and cliches that Edgar Allan Poe originated.
Often driven by emotion instead of training, Ryan (Kevin Bacon) tends to make rookie mistakes here and there: showing up alone to meet a serial killer in an abandoned lighthouse at night never did anyone any good. Still, despite our occasional shouts at the television as Ryan goes left when we know he should go right, the series' first season ended on a deeply unsettling -- and, thus, extremely satisfying -- note. "The Following" didn't necessarily turn out to be the show we expected it to be, which isn't a bad thing. »

[Warning: Spoilers ahead from Monday's season finale.] In the end, it was a fiery conclusion to Joe Carroll's story on Fox’s The Following -- or was it? Fifteen weeks of high-stakes action led to a showdown between former FBI Agent Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) and serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy). It was a fight to the death between the two nemeses, with the conniving-yet-sometimes charming Joe finding himself on the unlucky side of things as the towering flames engulfed him. Explosions weren’t enough to solidify Joe’s death, with the FBI making a point to mention that

The Following Season Finale Review: Finishing the Story
29 April 2013 10:02 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Going into the season finale of The Following, I had a lot of reservations.
The series off in a thrilling manner, pitting good vs. evil... revealing the scary possibility that followers were everywhere... showing us that Poe masks were crazy creepy... and teasing Joe Carroll's master plan, which involved his mass cult of killers and his nemesis Ryan Hardy; it was all a fantastic way to suck viewers in. And Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy have been outstanding.
But in the back half of episodes, the show began to tread water in this never-ending cycle of rescuing Joey... fighting random followers... and Ryan never being any step closer to catching or facing off with Joe.
Sure, Ryan Hardy remained a bad ass, but the elements that had accompanied the darkness of the episodes weren't as horrifying after awhile, even if they continued to be graphically violent.
