I hadn't heard of this, or if I had I forgot, but TV Guide has premiered the above first look picture from "Toy Story of Terror", an upcoming 30-minute long Halloween special featuring the Toy Story gang. Apparently the story centers on the gang as the toy's new owner Bonnie takes the toys with her and the family on vacation when their car breaks down and they're forced to stay in a spooky motel. It appears Jesse (voiced by Joan Cusack) is at the center of the story with Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles), Rex (Wallace Shawn), Mr. Pricklepants (Timothy Dalton) and Trixie (Kristen Schaal) also along for the ride. There's also a new toy in the mix voiced by Carl Weathers named Combat Carl (naturally). Angus MacLane, who's been doing work with Pixar since Geri's Game in 1997 and up through working as an animator on Toy Story 3, »

Pixar Animation has announced that they will be releasing a new Toy Story short for Halloween called Toy Story of Terror. The image above gives us our first look at what's in store for fans. What's great about this short is that it's going to be longer than the previous Toy Story shorts that have been released. This one will be 30-minutes long. The short was directed by Angus MacLane (Small Fry). Here's a short description:
Bonnie is on a road trip to go see grandma with her mom and the toys are in the trunk. Mom gets a flat tire and they have to spend the night at a motel and all kinds of chaos ensues.
The director explains that Jessie will be the main character of this short but that all the other characters will be in it as well. Oh! And the original voice cast will be returning to reprise their roles. »

Not to be outdone by reigning animated Halloween champs "The Simpsons," the whole Toy Story gang is getting ready to take the spooky season by storm with "The Toy Story of Terror" TV special!
We first told you about the project back in October of 2012, and according to TV Guide all is on track for ABC to air "Toy Story of Terror" this October as a 30-minute special that reunites the original voice cast from the Toy Story franchise.
From Pixar, "Toy Story of Terror" follows the adventures of the toys post-Toy Story 3, in which a fun road trip takes a very unexpected turn. "Bonnie is on a road trip to go see grandma with her mom, and the toys are in the trunk," producer Galyn Susman says. "Mom gets a flat tire and they have to spend the night at a motel, and all kinds of chaos ensues. »

Pixar continues to roll out Toy Story shorts, and this Halloween we'll be getting another one. Disney has announced that they'll be releasing Toy Story of Terror on ABC. According to TV Guide, the short will be 30-minutes long, and has the toys staying in a motel after Bonnie takes them on a road trip only to have the car break down along the way. Once inside the spooky motel, one of the toys goes missing, and "the rest of the gang will find themselves caught up in a mysterious sequence of events that must be solved before they all suffer the same fate." The short will appeal to kids, but adults should enjoy references to Psycho, Aliens, and Predator. One of the Predator references could be the return of Combat Carl (from the first movie), who will be voiced by Carl Weathers. The gang will be joined by Toy Story 3 toys, »

Well now. Can't say we saw this one coming. Some pretty strange news is coming out of Hollyweird today as Arnold Schwarzenegger, yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is in talks to star in Troma's remake of The Toxic Avenger.

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the first announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on NBC.
The Peacock did not have a good year. Only one of its new shows, "Revolution," was a true hit. Another, "Chicago Fire," got renewed by the skin of its teeth whilst the fate of a third, "Hannibal," remains uncertain.
None of last year's new comedies survived, neither did two mid-season dramas, which leaves the network with some big holes to fill. Three dramas and three comedies will debut in the Fall ahead of three more dramas and two comedies mid-season. Two further dramas and a comedy are presently unscheduled.
Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't become series including the high-profile Charlize Theron-produced drama about the Hatfields and McCoys, the Bruckheimer-produced »

The new fall season is closer than you think, and NBC has released their full schedule. Apart from reality favorites The Biggest Loser and The Voice, they are mixing things up quite a bit.
Take a look at a complete preview of the shows coming your way, and mark your calendars. It looks good for NBC this year, and while I’m not sure all of these look like winners, I think you’ll find at least a couple that you’re really going to like.
Blacklist – Fall

For decades, ex-government agent Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader) has been one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as “The Concierge of Crime.”

James Spader returns to NBC with "The Blacklist" on this fall.
The "Office" alum and longtime "Boston Legal" star returns to the spotlight on the Peacock network and this time, instead of upholding the law (albeit via blackmail, bribery and the like), he's breaking it. In NBC's upcoming series "The Blacklist," Spader stars as Raymond “Red” Reddington, the most wanted man in the world.
Check out Spader and his devilish ways below in NBC's new four-minute trailer for "The Blacklist", as well as two new preview clips, and scroll down for more previews and official descriptions of the new series on NBC's 2013-2014 schedule: the “Ironside" remake starring Blair Underwood, the new Mike O'Malley comedy "Welcome To The Family," Sean Hayes' return to sitcoms with "Sean Saves The World," and, of course, the highly-anticipated "Michael J. Fox Show."

Chicago – When you’re in as much of a ratings struggle as NBC, it makes sense to shake things up and that’s exactly what they’re doing in the Fall with a new show or an old show in a new time every single night of the week. “Chicago Fire,” “Revolution,” “The Biggest Loser,” “Parks and Recreation,” and “Parenthood” are moving. “Community” is being held until a midseason, 13-episode run. No decision yet made on “Celebrity Apprentice” or “Hannibal,” which isn’t that surprising as they are mid-season shows anyway although it shouldn’t give fans of either program confidence as NBC announced a midseason schedule as well and they’re not on it. Anything could still happen with either program however and they could be held as replacements for shows that fail. That may be the best shot for “Hannibal” fans now. The best new show on the »

NBC added one comedy and two more dramas to its 2013-14 roster, all from Sony Pictures TV.
“Welcome to the Family,” from scribe Mike Sikowitz, revolves around the culture clash of Anglo and Latino families when their kids are brought togheter by an unplanned pregnancy.
Drama “Blacklist” has major heat. It centers on a white-collar criminal who turns himself in and offers to give up others. “Night Shift” is a medical drama set in a San Antonio hospital.
After a long day of speculation, NBC confirmed the cancellation of Ryan Murphy comedy “The New Normal” (pictured) after one season.
Here are the descriptions:
Parents Dan Yoder (Mike O’Malley, “Glee,” “My Name Is Earl”) and wife Karina (Mary McCormack, “In Plain Sight,” “The West Wing”) find out on the day their daughter Molly (Ella Rae Peck, (“Deception,” “Gossip Girl”) is graduating from high school with an acceptance to college, »

"The creatures survived, but not without mutation." That's only part of the description for a new horror movie called Harbinger Down, but you can already picture a movie in your head. And if you're a fan of movies from the '70s, '80s and '90s, you no doubt picture it having some pretty badass physical creature effects in it. And were the movie made during that time, chances are Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr. would have brought those creatures to life. Between the two of them, they've made the twisted masterpieces at the center of movies like Aliens, Tremors, The Monster Squad, Starship Troopers, The Terminator, Predator and dozens more. And now they're making a movie in the vein of those sci-fi/horror classics, and they need...

If people really pay attention to directors, a lot of them found out who Shane Black is this weekend. Iron Man 3, his second best film as a director, sees him transitioning to a phase that he’s lived in before as a screenwriter. He found success in his twenties after acting in Predator and selling his script for Lethal Weapon, following-up with even more stories about kidnapping and Christmas. He’s brash, great with a comeback, and known for inserting fourth wall-breaking jabs into his scene descriptions, but he’s also been on both sides of the studio coin. That’s given him a front row seat for great success, backlash, a re-emergence that didn’t strike it big, and now another resurrection. It was clear before that he had talent, and now he’s got wisdom. So here’s a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from a man who knows »

Iron Man 3, 2013.
Directed by Shane Black.
Starring Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Ben Kingsley and Jon Favreau.
Synopsis:
When Tony Stark's world is torn apart by a formidable terrorist called the Mandarin, he starts an odyssey of rebuilding and retribution.
So here we are. The beginning of Phase Two in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If that wasn't a big enough deal on it's own, Iron Man 3 is also the film that has to follow the $1 billion+ juggernaut that was Avengers Assemble. Can it hope to follow up on that level of success?
Yes it can, just not in the way you’d expect.
A bold move was made straight away when Jon Favreau stepped down, to be replaced by Shane Black for co-writing and directing duties. Many of you may know that Black (Hawkins in Predator!) has worked with Downey Jr. before, »

Interview Ryan Lambie 22 Apr 2013 - 07:13
With Iron Man 3 out soon, we sat down with writer and director Shane Black about screenwriting, action, Last Action Hero and Christmas...
When Shane Black talks about action, he makes explosion noises, like an excitable kid describing an episode of Thunderbirds. "Smash! An explosion of blood! Smash! Glass shattering!"
Composed and thoughtful when he talks about the business side of filmmaking, Black becomes animated and passionate when talk turns to screenwriting, or the composition of action scenes, and it's Black's passion for writing and action - not to mention his trademark wit - that has made him one of the biggest names in Hollywood. His script for Lethal Weapon, which he sold on spec at the age of just 23, launched a legion copycat buddy-cop movies, while The Last Boy Scout and The Long Kiss Goodnight remain cult favourites.
Having turned to directing as »

Director Rob Cohen ( The Fast and the Furious ) has been attached to direct Nu Image and Millennium's action-adventure Crash Bandits , a project that was previously going to be directed by Die Hard and Predator helmer John McTiernan, who is currently serving a year in prison for lying to the FBI. The movie involves the rivalry between two treasure hunters who salvage old plane wrecks as they race across the Amazon jungle to claim the ultimate prize. Originally Hayden Christensen was attached to play one of the treasure seekers but with McTiernan no longer on board, the role may be recast. The script was originally written by Michael Stokes, but Cohen, who recently directed Tyler Perry in Summit Entertainment's Alex Cross , will do a rewrite with Johnny Martin, David Raines, »

I make no apologies for my love of the 1990 sci-fi action flick I Come in Peace Aka Dark Angel Aka Dolph Lundgen vs. a drug dealer from outer space armed with killer CDs. Now Shout Factory is again proving its greatness by giving it the Blu-ray treatment.
I Come in Peace Aka Dark Angel stars Dolph Lundgren as a Houston cop who always keeps his word. Brian Benben is a smarmy FBI agent assigned to work with Lundgren when his partner is murdered by yuppie drug dealers, who are themselves slaughtered by an extraterrestrial drug dealer (Matthias Hues) looking to harvest human endorphins – the drug of choice for those living in a galaxy far, far away. And let’s not forget that the alien’s space age superweapon is to shoots razor-sharp CDs from his wrist that are like heat-seeking missiles attracted to the human magnetic field, preferably within the vicinity of the jugular vein. »
