‘Ender’s Game’ starring Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford – trailer review

15 May 2013 11:19 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

Ender’s Game

Directed by: Gavin Hood

Starring: Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley

Rating: Not Yet Rated

Release Date: November 1, 2013

Trailer Score: 6/10

Thoughts by Tsr: Despite finding author Orson Scott Card’s personal views very difficult to stomach, I sat down and read “Ender’s Game” last week. Overall I found much of it too repetitive, but I thought the final 60 pages were great. Even though it boasts a solid cast, I haven’t had a lot of interest in this adaptation. That’s mostly due to X-Men Origins: Wolverine director Gavin Hood and producers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. Still, after the novel finished strong I was ready to like this trailer. I hardly found it to be outstanding, but it’s a decent two minutes.

While a lot of the slick visuals would be at home in J.J. AbramsStar Trek or even something like Len Wiseman’s Total Recall, »

Fox 2013-2014 Full Schedule Preview With Trailers And Images

14 May 2013 10:12 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

Fox has one of its better slates coming your way with the new season, especially if you take the midseason shows into account. Some of these shows may not jump out at you now as must-see, but some of them are going to take over, if I’m any judge anyway.

Clear showcase offerings Dads, Almost Human, and Us & Them are guaranteed to take off early. Almost Human has J.J. Abrams recognition to pull people in, though it looks to be a show that could flounder after a few episodes, even if I hope it doesn’t. The other two are going to become hits. Unfortunately, we have to wait until mid-season for the Gavin & Stacey remake.

Rake also looks like a winner, as long as the translation can be made to work as an Americanized product, and the show actually delivers what made the Australian original so brilliant.

Watch Ichabod Crane Resurrected For TV In Trailer For Sleepy Hollow

14 May 2013 3:16 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Fox have had quite a week. After announcing they had secured Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., they scored further points by treating fans to a teaser trailer. Their autumn line-up continues to revive franchises and they’re not stopping at Marvel. They’ve also added Sleepy Hollow to their 2013-2014 season, and there’s a brand new promo spot to give us a look at what to expect.

This version of Sleepy Hollow will update the tale of Ichabod Crane, dragging him into the 21st century. Expanding on the original story, the show will follow on from Irving Washington’s tale of soldier Crane as he battles against the fearful Headless Horseman. Two centuries pass and Crane is resurrected and must continue his fight against his age-old nemesis. This time around he teams up with a cop to put a stop to the Horseman’s latest spate of beheadings.

Clocking it at 4 minutes, »

13 May 2013 5:22 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

©2013 Fox Broadcasting Co. Cr: Fox

On Monday Fox unveiled their primetime slate for the 2013-2014 television season to the national advertising community during its annual Programming Presentation at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. The network announced 5 new comedies, 4 new dramas, a first event series, and an animated comedy from Seth MacFarlane.

Some of today’s most inventive directors working in film have smoothly segued from motion pictures to series TV and their new shows have found a home at Fox. What caught my attention were the sci-fi, fantasy shows bearing the names of Abrams, Shyamalan, Kurtzman and Orci.

Among the network’s lineup is M. Night Shyamalan’s new event series Wayward Pines. Set to premiere in 2014 and based on the best-selling novel, “Pines,” by Blake Crouch, Wayward Pines is an intense, mind-bending thriller in which nothing is what it seems. Also on the Fox schedule is the »

All Hail the Official Trailers for Sleepy Hollow and Almost Human

13 May 2013 5:20 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

Of course I was excited about these new Fox shows as soon as I learned about their Fringe provenance, but Wait Until You See These Trailers. It’s hard to get a real feel for a show just from the synopsis, but I’m including the new upgraded synopses for each so that you have all the information.

It appears that Sleepy Hollow will premiere early fall on Mondays at 9, following Bones at 8. After an initial run of Bones episodes, Almost Human will take the Mondays at 8 slot, in “late fall”.

But Oh The Trailers.

9 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

Atta Fox, well done. They have announced their new series pickups, and they include two shows we’ve been following. In fact, they are two of the series we were most excited about, so Woo Hoo! Both come from former Fringe executive producers, and one features a favorite movie star, whose latest movie premieres next week…

That would be Karl Urban, Star Trek‘s Bones, and his show is the project formerly known as Inhuman, then just Human, and now/currently Almost Human; it’s the buddy cop robot show. Executive producers are J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Fringe, etc etc) and J.H. Wyman (former Fringe showrunner).

The other is Sleepy Hollow, the modern-day retelling version we’ve been telling you about, from Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek, Transformers, Fringe). Here are the details from Fox, via Deadline:

Fox Picks Up Two Genre Shows For Fall Season

9 May 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

Fox has announced their new show pickups for next season, and of the four dramas, two are genre shows. Score!

First up is Sleepy Hollow, from Fringe co-creators Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. The supernatural-procedural sounds very similar to NBC's Grimm, in that it incorporates classic folklore in a modern day police drama. Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to find that the world is on the brink of destruction and that he is humanity’s last hope, forcing him to team up with a contemporary police officer (Nicole Beharie) to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers. Len Wiseman (Underworld) directed the pilot.

Next is Almost Human, which may lean more towards the sci-fi/action genre than horror. J.J. Abrams and J.H. Wyman (also two of the brains behind Fringe) created the series, and »

Greg Kinnear Is Coming To TV

9 May 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Fox has picked up four dramas, including Greg Kinnear's "Rake," for the 2013-2014 season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Rake" is Kinnear's broadcast TV debut, with Miranda Otto and John Ortiz co-starring. According to Deadline, "Rake" is being considered for a midseason launch in the vein of "The Following," one of the few hits of last season. Kinnear will play a "House"-esque criminal defense lawyer named Keegan Deane, described as "brilliant and frustratingly charming ... whose chaotic and self-destructive personal life often gets in the way of his professional one. He takes on the cases that nobody else will touch, ruled by a resolute optimism, belief in justice and dogged determination to defend those who seem beyond redemption -- much like himself." Sam Raimi directed the pilot, and the show was created by Peter Duncan, who came up with the original Australian version.

Also picked up is "Sleepy Hollow, »
