And starring Bill Murray as... the Human Torch?

2 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Before Bill Murray was, well, Bill Murray — the beloved eccentric who uses a 1-800 number in lieu of an agent and hired a deaf personal assistant just to spite Groundhog Day producers — he was a struggling comedian looking for gigs in New York City. In 1977, Murray would shoot to fame as Chevy Chase’s replacement on NBC’s Saturday Night; before that, though, he apparently made ends meet by playing a well-known Marvel superhero on a serialized radio drama.

That’s right: Serialized radio plays still existed in the mid-’70s, though the medium was basically on life support. Marvel »

Joe Carnahan Brings Passion Project Continue To 20th Century Fox

4 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Joe Carnahan is on a roll. Earlier this year, he delivered a solid survival thriller in The Grey which earned a somewhat-surprising $77M at the worldwide box office and gave us our first official look at Liam Neeson punching a wolf. It.s hard to go up from there, but Carnahan will attempt to extend his hot streak with a project titled Continue, which he just set up at 20th Century Fox. A while back, Carnahan described the plot of his Continue as an action-movie spin on Groundhog Day, according to Twitch. It would feature a soldier forced to relive the same brutal day over and over, forcing him to fend off a team of assassins trying to kill him for some unknown reason. How can he survive the deadly attacks and break the cycle? And will a wolf need to be punched to disrupt the circular time line? (Ok, »

Joe Carnahan Set To "Continue" At Fox

14 hours ago | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

20th Century Fox is moving ahead with "The Grey" and "Smokin' Aces" director Joe Carnahan's passion project "Continue" reports Twitchfilm.

Described as an action take on "Groundhog Day", the story follows a former soldier forced to re-live the same day over and over while on the run from assassins trying to kill him for reasons unknown.

No start date is scheduled as yet, though the filmmaker hopes to get Frank Grillo on board to star. Carnahan remains attached to write and direct a reboot of Charles Bronson classic "Death Wish". »

Your next box set: Supernatural

19 hours ago | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

A pair of beefy brothers touring the Us in a cool car, fighting monsters – this is lowbrow telly at its best

Sam and Dean Winchester have followed in their father's footsteps, entering the family business to track down and dispose of all things supernatural. Throughout each of the seven series of Supernatural, we follow these swarthy, squabbling siblings as they crisscross America in their Chevrolet 66 Impala, a beautiful vintage motor that becomes something of a star in its own right. The boys investigate paranormal events, local legends and even full-scale celestial war. On the way, they see their dad die, sell their souls, go to hell and back (literally), kiss a lot of women, and do battle with demons, angels, vampires and ghosts, almost all with ghastly teeth. At one point, they go toe-to-toe with Lucifer himself.

It's a superb mash-up of Buffy and The X-Files, stomach-churningly gory and all »

Joe Carnahan’s Continue Moving Forward at Fox

23 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Though it’s still a little hard to believe, director Joe Carnahan’s The Grey remains one of the best films I’ve seen so far this year.  The “Liam Neeson fights wolves” movie blindsided me as a surprisingly introspective and meditative look at survival, life, and death, anchored by an emotionally gut-punching performance from Neeson.  The film did well at the box office for an R-rated survival pic, taking in over $75 million.  Hot off the film’s commercial and critical success, Carnahan committed to directing a remake of the 1974 action pic Death Wish, and it now looks like another one of his passion projects is moving forward: an action spin on the Groundhog Day premise called Continue.  Hit the jump for more. Twitch reports that 20th Century Fox is moving forward with the actioner and apparently Carnahan hopes to reunite with The Grey star Frank Grillo on the project, »

Joe Carnahan's 'Groundhog Day'-Style Action Movie 'Continue' Moving Ahead At Fox

31 May 2012 10:41 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Back in January when Joe Carnahan was busy wrong-footing everyone with a surprisingly mature follow-up to “Smokin’ Aces” and “The A-Team” in the form of “The Grey,” he also started talking a little about what features might come next. One of those was “Continue,” which Carnahan candidly described as “ ’Groundhog Day’ as an action movie,” and “funny as shit.” But we got the feeling that as passionate as he was about that project, he had his heart set on making “Killing Pablo,” which during the same interview he described as being “the best script I’ve ever written.”

However, as much as Carnahan may dig 'Pablo,' Twitch reports that right now it's “Continue” that will be moving forward, with Fox starting to turn the gears on the project. The story will follow a former soldier forced to re-live the same day over and over while on the run from »

Carnahan’s Continue, Death Wish Forthcoming

31 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

What did you think of The Grey?

Me, I liked it a fair bit, even if the wolf stuff was really kind of nonsense. Liam Neeson brought the grizzled angst, though, that cannot be denied. Aside from providing some real survivalist thrills, the best thing to come out of the success of The Grey has to be the increase in writer/director Joe Carnahan’s Hollywood stroke.

Carnahan burst onto the scene writing and directing the universally-loved Narc (2002) starring Ray Liotta and Jason Patric, a low-key, downbeat crime thriller that’s well worth your time if you’ve never seen it, worth it for Patric’s sweet handlebar moustache alone (it’s really more of a Fu Manchu–ed.). Smokin’ Aces followed, a film that, despite some great performances all round, ultimately proved more style than substance. 2010’s The A-Team was up next, a film that I still haven’t »

Breaking: Joe Carnahan's Continue Moving Ahead At 20th Century Fox

30 May 2012 7:30 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

It's a good time to be Joe Carnahan. Thanks to the success of The Grey, Carnahan is arguably in the best position of his career to launch the projects he wants to make and he has been taking advantage. Back in January word came out that Carnahan would write and direct a reboot of Charles Bronson classic Death Wish. And a little earlier in that same month - while on the press tour for The Grey - he spilled word of a passion project that he was hoping to get off the ground.Titled Continue, Carnahan described the project then as an action movie spin on Groundhog Day. The story follows a former soldier forced to re-live the same day over and over while on »

Joe Carnahan Will ‘Continue’ at 20th Century Fox

30 May 2012 7:27 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Some of us thought Joe Carnahan would follow January’s The Grey with Death Wish, White Jazz, or Killing Pablo — you decide which would be the best course of action — but the next effort is something we haven’t heard much of until now. According to Twitch, he and 20th Century Fox have made plans to go with Continue, a Groundhog Day-like passion project about “a former soldier forced to re-live the same day over and over while on the run from assassins trying to kill him for reasons unknown.”

You probably couldn’t glean it from that logline, but Carnahan claims Continue will actually be “funny as shit,” in a sense that’s not entirely dissimilar to, of all things, The Three Stooges. If it can strike that kind of vibe and attitude, good, because while not a horrible premise for a movie, Continue uses something that’s »

Notes & Queries: Is the Earth getting bigger?

30 May 2012 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Plus: When the postie brings bad news; How witch-hunts arise in troubled times; That Groundhog Day feeling

In the geological record, the further down we dig, the further we go into the past, which means that deposits are continually being laid down on the planet's surface (presumably a combination of volcanic material and cosmic debris). Is the Earth getting bigger?

The Earth is not getting bigger. Deposition (of sediments, mostly marine) and weathering (erosion) are in approximate equilibrium. Most weathering occurs on land while most deposition occurs in the seas, resulting in a net accumulation of marine sediment. However, some sediments are subducted beneath continental crust at the edges of some oceans and recycled back into igneous rocks spewed from volcanoes. Also, both oceanic and terrestrial crust go through cycles of up– and down–thrust, periodically rising above and below sea level. The bed of today's North Sea is flooded continental crust, »

Cougar Town Review: Riding Off To TBS

29 May 2012 11:37 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

It was rather clear when watching "My Life/Your World:" The Cougar Town cast and crew didn't know whether this would be a season or a series finale.

There was a definite sense of closure throughout the hour and it ended in probably the most satisfying way possible with Jules and Grayson having their dream wedding and riding off in the sunset surrounded by the people they love (including Chick and his horse).

Thankfully, we can all breathe a sigh of relief since Cougar Town is making the leap to cable over on TBS! Which is good because I would rather not cut down on my weekly dose of wine.

A few of the show’s neuroses were touched upon and talked about here, courtesy of Jules’ Groundhog’s Day reenactment and Penny Can. Of course, Jules’ crazy is never contained to just one aspect of her life, but it »

'Cougar Town' Season 3 finale: A walk on the beach

29 May 2012 7:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Once "Cougar Town" decided to couple up Jules and Grayson, it never really played around with the idea that these two people are right for each other. There have been complications (Grayson's daughter) and annoyances (Jules' reassigning meanings of phrases, among other things), but they've come in the context of this couple growing and deepening their relationship, never in a will they-won't they fashion.

So it's hardly a spoiler to say that "Cougar Town" ended its run on ABC with Grayson and Jules tying the knot. But how Tuesday's (May 29) season finale got there was a little bit surprising and a whole lot of fun. Grayson may not like all these people hanging around all the time but it's a pleasure to know we'll get to keep hanging out with them for at least one more season (thanks again, TBS).

'Cougar Town': Discuss the two-part season 3 finale

29 May 2012 6:01 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

The third season of Cougar Town has come full circle. Spoiler Alert: Stop reading if you haven’t seen the finale yet.

We started out with a tear-inducing proposal and finished off with a tear-inducing marriage. It wasn’t an easy road, but Jules and Grayson are finally Mr. and Mrs. But I’m getting ahead of myself here. The special two-part “My Life/Your World” began with a frustrated Grayson. He forgot that by marrying Jules he was marrying the rest of the cul-de-sac crew. And that meant he’d never get any privacy over at Casa de Jules. »

'Cougar Town' season finale: 6 things to watch for in 'My Life'/'Your World'

29 May 2012 1:24 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

The season finale of "Cougar Town" would work pretty well as a series finale -- but fortunately for fans of the show, it's not.

Tuesday's (May 29) one-hour finale is the last we'll see of the series on ABC, but with a move to TBS next year, it's not the end for Jules (Courteney Cox), Grayson (Josh Hopkins) and the rest of the cul-de-sac crew. The two episodes, "My Life" and "Your World," air at 8 p.m. Et, but while you get your wine to the proper temperature, here are a few things to watch for:

It's "Groundhog Day." Now that Jules and Grayson have moved in, he's a little put out by the fact that their house is always full of people (but, honestly, did he expect something different?). "My life is 'Groundhog Day,'" he laments after seeing Ellie (Christa Miller) and Laurie (Busy Philipps) in the kitchen for the millionth time. »

'Cougar Town': Season 3 wraps up on the cul-de-sac

29 May 2012 12:19 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

After a tumultuous year in TV scheduling limbo, Cougar Town finally concludes its third season tonight on ABC. The episode will also mark the cul-de-sac crew’s last appearance on the network, as Jules & Co. will be packing their bags and moving to TBS next year, sans showrunners Bill Lawrence and Kevin Biegel.

In the special hour-long finale “My Life/Your World,” Jules and Grayson (spoiler alert!) finally tie the knot. So grab your own Big Joe Carl Lou, and prepare for a night of pounding grape with a few notes about the season 3 ender:

Cougar Town Season Finale Sneak Peeks: Jules and Grayson are Getting Married

Cougar Town Season Finale Sneak Peeks: Jules and Grayson are Getting Married

The impending nuptials of Jules and Grayson have been driving the third season of Cougar Town from the time he proposed. Like it or not, if you were in the couple's world in any extent, you had to deal with the typical wedding worries, only Jules-ified. There have been storylines dedicated to Trav "auditioning" to be the wedding photographer, a maid-of-honor competition between Ellie and Laurie, and Grayson asking for Chick's blessing, but the time for preparation is over.

There's about to be a Cul-de-Sac Crew wedding and yes, it may be time to panic.

You'd think, at least. A finale wedding is typically hectic, full of mishaps and a whole lot of misunderstandings, but it looks like the only confusion here is Jules and her six viewings of Groundhog Day. (No spoilers!) But really, Jules and Grayson »

A Confederacy of Dunces may move forward with Zach Galifianakis

John Kennedy Toole’s novel “A Confederacy of Dunces” became a cult classic upon its release in 1980, eleven years after the author’s suicide. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction the next year, and a film version was put in the works shortly afterward. Groundhog Day director Harold Ramis was once set to go behind the [...]
