Not every TV series ensemble actor has been as lucky as Bryan Cranston.
After years of playing the dad on Malcolm in the Middle, the talented thesp landed the gig as Walter White on Breaking Bad that shot him to the top of casting must-have lists.
Actors can spend years as important cogs in a successful ensemble series, and then find themselves jobless after season upon season of security. For every Cranston, there are hundreds of actors who slip into obscurity or unemployment once their long-running series are over.
Cranston’s Breaking Bad co-star Aaron Paul has already begun his segue. Transitioning into film work, Paul is in such projects as DreamWorks’ Need for Speed.
“It’s all about doing something that terrifies me a little bit and is completely different from myself,” Paul says. “I’m having so much fun doing this action film, but I think after this »

As the old saying goes, "All good things come to an end." Right now Hollywood studios are doing very well for themselves. They are making big budget films that are paying off for them in spades. People are making a lot of money. Marvel is a perfect example of this with films like The Avengers and Iron Man 3. It doesn't hurt the studios to charge people more money to see their movies either. It seems like the are already forcing us to pay an extra $5 to see their movies in 3D and if you want to see the film in IMAX, well it's another extra $5. It's crazy that I find myself paying $21.50 to see a movie sometimes these days. It's kind of sad, especially since the economy isn't really getting any better.

If you are anything like the staffers of Vulture, then the above headline will cause you some minor distress. No, you might think to yourself, Tim Riggins is not blond. Tim Riggins does not wear tweed. Tim Riggins is still in Texas. But be brave, Panther fans, and dare to actually look at the photos – taken on the set of The Normal Heart, Ryan Murphy’s adaptation of the Larry Kramer novel about the AIDS crisis in New York City – because Taylor Kitsch looks so happy as a blond. He’s grinning! And learning about photography! What more could you want for Riggins? »

"Friday Night Lights" may have ended before its time, but fans were transported right back to Dillion this weekend at the Atx Television Festival in Austin, Texas, which played host to a cast reunion that brought stars Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton back together to reminisce about the show's stellar run.
Joining Chandler and Britton (Coach and Mrs. Coach) on the panel were Gaius Charles (Brian "Smash" Williams), Brad Leland (Buddy Garrity), Louanne Stephens (Grandma Lorraine Saracen), Matt Lauria (Luke Cafferty), Scott Porter (Jason Street) and writer/producer David Hudgins.
Chandler and Britton's appearance at the festival was kept secret from fans until they emerged on stage, and their arrival was met with teary eyes, full hearts and a standing ovation from the crowd. Throughout the panel, the pair demonstrated that their characters' affectionate rapport was still going strong in real life, even after two years apart, with Britton offering »

On Friday night in Austin, Tex., some of your favorite Friday Night Lights cast members gathered at sunset to drink Shiner Bock in a parking lot and reminisce about the glory days. This was not a dream. It was a stellar event put on by the good folks at the Atx Television Festival who’d organized a free outdoor screening of the season 1 season finale. (The next morning the thrills kept coming, as stars Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton surprised fans by dropping in unannounced on the Fnl cast panel.)

Let’s be honest, we’ll go see anything Taylor Kitsch is in. But throw in a little Peter Skarsgard, and suddenly a total bomb like Battlefield becomes Oscar-caliber (imagine how two sexed-up stars can upgrade actual Oscar-caliber flicks like Brokeback Mountain and Vicky Christy Barcelona).

Mark Wahlberg's upcoming Lone Survivor will receive an early limited release to qualify for the 2014 Oscars.
Universal has decided to release the upcoming Afghanistan war drama in select cinemas in New York and Los Angeles from December 27, reports Deadline.
It will then be rolled out nationwide from January 10. The move will not only qualify the film for the Academy Awards, but will also gain critical and audience word-of-mouth via other award ceremonies.
Peter Berg will direct the project, which tells the true story of four Navy SEALs who battled with enemy Afghan forces while on a covert mission to stop a Taliban operative.
Wahlberg, Ben Foster, Emile Hirsch, Eric Bana and Taylor Kitsch star in the film.
It is based on the book Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10 by Marcus Luttrell, the Navy Seal portrayed by Wahlberg.

I wasn't able to get around to another 2014 Oscar prediction update today as a result of the podcast, a movie screening and writing my review of The East, but perhaps that's for the best as I was planning on taking a look at the Best Actor category and we just may have another name to add to the list... Mark Wahlberg. Yes, the star of Contraband, Pain & Gain and the forthcoming Transformers 4. The very actor that was nominated for his role in Martin Scorsese's The Departed and starred in films such as Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights and was part of the nominated producing team that made The Fighter, which he also starred in. This time around we're looking at Wahlberg as the lead actor in Lone Survivor, a true story feature based on the failed mission "Operation Red Wing" which will see Wahlberg as Marcus Luttrell, »

When Peter Berg's upcoming war drama "Lone Survivor" was recently given a January 10, 2014 release date, we have to admit, we immediately figured it to be another Mark Wahlberg, early winter programmer (see "Contraband" and "Broken City") and we put it in the back of our minds. But now, it looks like we'll have to sit up and pay a bit of attention as this could be mixing it up in the awards season race. Universal has decided to give the movie a New York and Los Angeles run starting on December 27th, before it platforms out to other cities. So does this one have the goods? Well, it has a helluva cast with Ben Foster, Emile Hirsch, Taylor Kitsch and Eric Bana joining Wahlberg in the true story tale based on the 2005 incident that found Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell and his team under attack from Taliban forces in the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan. »

I bet no one here forgot the tremendous numbers that Battleship brought in. Oh no, that was backwards. You could see that ship sinking from a mile away. Peter Berg is better than that, and poor Taylor Kitsch went down with him. Their fates may have changed in a big way though. Berg's Afghanistan war drama Lone Survivor based on the best seller Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account Of Operation Redwing And The Lost Heroes Of Seal Team 10 by Marcus Luttrell and Patrick Robinson might be a »

Arriving in theatres later this year, Closed Circuit is shaping up to be a promising international thriller, boasting terrific talents on both sides of the camera.
Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall top a stellar ensemble cast. And with just a few months to go before Focus Features release it in the Us, the first trailer and poster have debuted over on Apple, giving us an excellent first look at the thriller.
From the producers of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy comes the new international thriller Closed Circuit.
Following a mysterious explosion in a busy London market, the police swoop in, a suspect is detained, and the country prepares for one of the most high-profile trials in British history. Two exceptional lawyers with a romantic past step into a dangerous web of secrets and lies, and when evidence points to a possible British Secret Service cover up, it’s not just their »

Feature James Clayton 17 May 2013 - 05:48
As the summer movie season brings speculation about flops and bombs, James argues that, for viewers, there's no such thing as failure...
We're now well into blockbuster season, and the rest of the summer lies before us bright with big screen promise. The tentpole features are stacked like tenpins on the shiny stage, and you're eyeing them up from afar and you're wearing jaunty shoes. Which ones will fall and which ones will remain standing proudly once the turn's been rolled and the tallies have been totalled up?
The bowling metaphor is ill-fitting and awful (even more ill-fitting and awful than the shoes) so I apologise for chuckin' it up. Nevertheless, if you view it from a certain angle (probably the gutter) the summer movie season does look like a game. It's a kitschy game that's subject to quirks of fate and chance, and it's all about the numbers. »
