Director Carl Franklin to Helm Corrupt Cop Drama 'City Of Night'
30 May 2012 8:45 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Most recently plying his wares on TV shows such as Starz's “Magic City” and HBO's “The Pacific,” director Carl Franklin has decided to step back into the cinematic arena where he got his start, nine years after he directed the Denzel Washington actioner “Out of Time,” for a dose of shady business with the law.
Deadline reports Franklin has signed on to direct “City of Night,” an L.A.-set thriller written by David Chisholm, best known for writing the Fred Savage film “The Wizard,” peculiarly enough. 'City' follows Emmett Conlin, a rookie cop aspiring to rise through the Lapd ranks through its toughest crime units, until he faces a veteran corrupt cop eager to bring him down. Emmett then becomes the target of a psychological betrayal from within the department, and soon he doesn't know who to trust, or where to run.
The film is purported to be “in »

Carl Franklin to Direct Thriller City Of Night
29 May 2012 6:34 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
After working on a couple of well-received cable dramas, Carl Franklin (Out of Time) is headed back to the movies. The Magic City and Falling Skies director has signed on for cop thriller City of Night. Penned by David Chisholm, this one tells the tale of a rookie policeman assigned to the toughest unit in Los Angeles; once there, he quickly gets mixed up with a crooked vet, who initiates an “elaborate psychological game to destroy him.” In the official release, it’s described as an “explosive, sexually intense thriller.” It’s also compared to La Confidential and The Departed but interestingly, not Training Day, which…doesn’t it sound a lot like Training Day? Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s a rip-off or anything. Just don’t be surprised when the bad cop (who may or may not compare favourably to King Kong) is shocked (wink, wink »

3 May 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
This article first appeared in the May 11 issue of The Hollywood Reporter. "I'd like to direct." Fred Savage was among the most famous child actors in Hollywood when he said those words. At 13, the breakout star of ABC's hit dramedy The Wonder Years already had garnered his first Emmy nomination. But when he sat down with the Associated Press in 1989 to promote another project, the adventure flick The Wizard, Savage revealed that his true passion lay elsewhere.

YouTubers Collab for Drug-Fueled Series ‘The Stooges’
20 March 2012 10:45 AM, PDT | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »
As YouTube networks solidify and creators begin making actual paychecks, it’s easy to forget about the passion filled collaborative days of YouTube’s yesteryear that helped to build some of the site’s biggest fan bases. YouTubers working with YouTubers was a powerful tool that not only grew audiences, but gave content creators an opportunity to have fun working with fellow talent. Yes, collabs certainly still happen, but it feels like they’re happening less so between individuals represented by different YouTube networks. Thankfully, though, we have a show like The Stooges to further remind us people are still working together and it doesn’t always have to be all about the Benjamin’s (not that there’s anything wrong if it is). Shot on a modest budget bumping $10K, the series features YouTube stars Eric Pumphrey of Reckless Tortuga and Rawn Erickson (HiimRawn) of Maker Studios, as well as Luke Edwards, »
