Bill Hader Compares Saturday Night Live Hosts: Disses Justin Bieber, Calls Justin Timberlake a "Class Act"
3 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Call it a tale of two Justins. Bill Hader was chatting with Howard Stern on his Sirius Xm radio show on Wednesday about his recent departure from Saturday Night Live when Justin Timberlake came up in the conversation. "He's great," Hader said about SNL's frequent host. "Also, the guy doesn't show up with anybody. It's just him." Unfortunately, Hader didn't exactly have the same praise for another of this season's hosts. "Justin Bieber showed up with like 20 guys," Hader recalled. "He had a guy holding a slice of pizza. A guy holding a Diet Coke. You're trying to fight through all these people to get dressed. Timberlake, it was just him. »

Lionsgate Shares Rise On Growing Optimism About Earnings Report
45 minutes ago | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
The stock is up about 4% in mid-afternoon trading after Piper Jaffray’s James Marsh raised his price target for Lionsgate this morning by 18.5% to $32 ahead of the studio’s financial report next week for the quarter that ended in March. The analyst says that investors may be impressed by DVD and VOD sales for Twilight, which he figures generated about $150M in revenues for the quarter. In addition The Impossible, a film about the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, “largely slipped under the radar,” grossing just $19M at domestic theaters but $154M overseas. He expects Lionsgate’s TV operation to impress with results from Mad Men, Anger Management, and Nashville. Looking ahead, Marsh says that he’s “comfortable that management will find a way to extend the Twilight franchise” while Hunger Games could could do better than expected “driven by international box office and high margin merchandising opportunities.” On Monday Stifel »

The 5 Best Episodes Of 'Arrested Development' From The First 3 Seasons
1 hour ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
"Arrested Development," as the opening credits inform us, is the story "of one wealthy family, who lost everything and the son who had no choice but to keep them all together." This synopsis, about the Bluth family and their continued struggles, makes it sound like something out of the Chuck Lorre factory of middlebrow mediocrity. But "Arrested Development," created by cracked genius Mitchell Hurwitz, would go on to become one of the most beloved (and short-lived) comedy series in the history of television, one whose fan-base was so outspoken that this weekend the series will be resurrected as a collection of episodes airing exclusively on Netflix's streaming service. The unthinkable has happened: The Bluths are back from the dead. In honor of this glorious return, which is far more impressive than Jesus showing up, we decided to run down the five best episodes from the first three seasons of this twisted series. »

Steven Soderbergh To Direct 10-Episode Cinemax Series 'The Knick' Starring Clive Owen
1 hour ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
....and hiatus over. It's safe to say that Steven Soderbergh has pretty much done it all in the cinema world (except make a western, which he has said is not a genre he's a particular enthusiast for) and has grown a bit weary of storytelling in that format. He's been there, done that, won a Palme d'Or and an Oscar, so now it's time to conquer a new medium, so how about television? Okay, he went down that road a bit with the short lived "K Street" in 2003, but the industry has changed massively in the ensuing decade. Now, Soderbergh is getting back behind the camera. He'll be taking on "The Knick" over at Cinemax, a ten-episode series (which he'll helm every episode of -- take that David Fincher!) set to star Clive Owen. Sweet fancy moses. Sounding like an old-timey "E.R.," the show is set in 1900s New »

Steven Soderbergh Will Direct and Produce Cinemax Series 'The Knick,' Starring Clive Owen
1 hour ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Look, he said he was retiring from filmmaking. Filmmaking. Deadline reports that Steven Soderbergh, whose last movie before his indefinite hiatus from the medium "Behind the Candelabra" airs on HBO this Sunday, has now signed on to direct and produce "The Knick," a Cinemax series that will star Clive Owen. Apparently cable TV suits him just fine -- Cinemax, which is owned by HBO, will be giving a 10-episode season commitment to the period drama, which is set in downtown New York in 1900. Soderbergh, who recently launched his own t-shirt vending website, is reportedly directing all of the episodes -- the series will be set at the Knickerbocker Hospital, where the staff conducts groundbreaking measures to push medicine forward at a time of high mortality. Jack Amiel and Michael Begler (both of "Raising Helen") are writing the series and executive producing alongside Owen, Soderbergh, Anonymous Content's Michael Sugar and Gregory Jacobs. »

First, Almost Human, the futuristic thriller from Fringe executive producer, writer, director and showrunner, J.H. Wyman, as well as creator J.J. Abrams.

Bad Teacher wasn't exactly a smash hit when it came out in 2011, but the Cameron Diaz film drew enough interest conceptually for someone to try and make it into a TV show.
