New Girl Exclusive: Zooey Deschanel on the Chances of a Musical Episode
29 May 2012 11:40 AM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
TV series from Xena: Warrior Princess and Scrubs to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Community have staged musical episodes. And, since New Girl’s leading lady, Zooey Deschanel, is a bona fide pop star, it would make sense for her show to do one, too, right?
Not so fast! “I’m not sure,” the actress — half of the indie duo She & Him — tells TVLine. “You always have to consider how things fit into the world of the show. The comedy is totally different on [for instance] Community. They can get away with making things a bit more surreal.”

People Like Us Clip Shows Elizabeth Banks And Chris Pine Having A Family Moment
22 May 2012 7:02 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Alex Kurtzman is known for his involvement in films like Transformers and Star Trek and TV shows including Fringe, Xena: Warrior Princess and one of my personal favorites, Alias. But he has been known to dabble outside the realm of sci-fi/fantasy. Actually, dabbling might be an overstatement as the only true example of this that I saw at a glance is an executive producer credit on The Proposal, one of my favorite guilty-pleasure rom-coms in recent years. The upcoming film People Like Us seems like a true shift in gears for the producer, who not only wrote the film but also directed. And it should be very interesting to see how he tackles a story that doesn't include any science fiction or fantasy elements. Starring Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks, People Like Us tells the story of Sam, a salesman with money troubles whose father dies and leaves money »
Hulu.com: Will Ferrell's 10 Best SNL Sketches Ever
14 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Will Ferrell's been gone from "SNL" for 10 years now. I don't know how we've kept it together since then, as Americans. He was the closest thing to this country's Kim Jong-Il: Everyone would cry in the street if he died, and sunglasses made him look like something in one of the saltwater tanks at Sea World.
Plus, he defined our moral fiber there for a few years. If there was a Will Ferrell Constitution, it would almost exclusively tell us that it's awesome to yell at helpless dogs, and that you desperately need to get off the damn shed. That was the turn of the century in a nutshell.
Well, thank god, Will Ferrell's back on Saturday hosting "SNL." We get a reminder of the good ol' days, when he could talk about the moon as a food product for five minutes and that would be considered a complete sketch. »

‘Spartacus’ Season Three Gets A Whole Lot Hotter By Adding Anna Hutchison, Jenna Lind, & Gwen Taylor
3 May 2012 9:32 AM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

Here is the description of their roles as provided by Starz:
Laeta (Hutchison) is the privileged wife of a Roman dignitary who becomes entangled in the struggle against Spartacus. Her life and those of the ones she loves are forever changed by the conflict.
Kore (Lind) is a loyal slave to Marcus Crassus (Simon Merrells), the Roman tasked to bring an end to Spartacus and his rebellion. Her deep feelings for her master will be sorely tested by spiraling events.
Sibyl (Taylor) is a beautiful young slave rescued from Roman cruelty. Now free, she will embark on a journey that will touch the »

Is remaking Poltergeist a good idea?
2 May 2012 5:26 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Poltergeist, the near-perfect suburban horror movie, is getting the Hollywood remake treatment. But should it be left alone? Rob takes a look…
Sam Raimi, a geek hero who bought us The Evil Dead (and of course Hercules and Xena) is still a fan favourite. But as time progresses, the pioneering filmmaker is taking more of a back seat and evolving into a respected producer, overseeing and using his knowledge to assist up and coming filmmakers, directors and writers.
His decision to nurture a new breed of horror directors is commendable, and working with people like Diablo Cody on a new take on The Evil Dead is a (potentially) interesting move, but really, why do we need remakes of already superb films? We should all thank Mr Raimi for his efforts, but like most fanboys, I was up in arms when I first heard about the decision to remake The Evil Dead. »
'Transformers' Writers to Reboot 'Van Helsing' With Tom Cruise Starring and Producing
1 May 2012 2:55 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci have been around the industry for over a decade, and their box office clout just keeps growing. They got their start in the world of TV, working on shows like Xena, Jack of All Trades (Rip, you amazing show), and Alias before really carving out a big screen presence with scripting duties on Mission: Impossible III and Transformers. Since then they've been involved in an impressive number of high-profile TV (Hawaii Five-o, Fringe) and movie projects (Star Trek, Cowboys & Aliens) for a variety of different studios, but now Variety tells us the in-demand pair have signed a first-look deal with Universal Pictures, which means for the next two years, Universal gets to call dibs on anything the pair cook up. And according to Variety, the pair already...

Six to watch: fantasy dramas
1 May 2012 5:21 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
As Game of Thrones continues another successful season, come along on our epic quest to uncover the finest fantasy programmes ever. Have we missed any out?
Game of Thrones is now well into its second season, with the double-dealing denizens of Westeros continuing to draw the kind of plaudits that made the show's opening outing such a success. It is both an unsurprising success – the HBO show's source material is George Rr Martin's epic series of fantasy novels – and extremely unlikely, given the small but gallant band of series that make up the televisual fantasy genre.
Fantasy is something of a murky term in tellyland, a label that's been used to pigeonhole all manner of imaginative programming over the years. But lets for a moment forget science fiction and the supernatural, and instead focus our attention on fantasy fare that revels in swords, sandals and sorcery. The series where level »

Roger Corman's Attack of the 50-Foot Cheerleader in 3D Promises to Be Epix
25 April 2012 9:47 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Roger Corman graced Syfy with a Sharktopus. For his foray into producing for the Epix network, the “King of the B’s” is busting out Attack of the 50-Foot Cheerleader (in 3D no less) and has assembled quite a cast for a movie about a giant cheerleader on a rampage.
Shockingly, Roger Corman did not produce the 1950’s cult classic Attack of the 50-Foot Woman or its 1990’s remake starring Daryl Hannah. He also had nothing to do with 1995’s Attack of the 60-Foot Centerfold; that was Fred Olen Ray’s homage. Now, at the ripe old age of 86 (and still kicking), Corman is finally getting a piece of the giant woman on the attack action with Attack of the 50-Foot Cheerleader.
Synopsis:
Aspiring college cheerleader Cassie Stratford consumes an experimental drug that grants her beauty and enough athletic ability to make the cheer squad. However, the drug has an »

This Week in Soundtracks – April 10, 2012, includes ‘Damsels in Distress’

A review of soundtracks and scores released the week of April 10, 2012.
Think Like a Man: Music From & Inspired By the Film – Various Artists
Think Like a Man is a comedy based on the book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man by Steve Harvey. The film follows four couples as the women use advice from Steve Harvey’s relationship book against the men while the men discover this and try to use that knowledge against the women.
This is a relationship film that contains an almost completely African-American cast. It’s no surprise this has an R&B-heavy soundtrack. Think Like a Man – Music From & Inspired by the Film brings together a collection of mostly new songs from popular artists like Jennifer Hudson, Ne-Yo, Keri Hilson, John Legend and more. Highlights of the soundtrack include the title track by Jennifer Hudson and Ne-Yo and the two older tracks »

Exclusive Q&A with Kevin Sorbo, Stelio Savante and Stephen Wallis on romantic comedy The Whole Banana
8 April 2012 5:20 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Upcoming movie The Whole Banana may feature elements of ancient Greek mythology but, as the whimsical title suggests, it's far removed from any of the other recent productions that have clashed their immortal titans on the big screen.
Instead of a gritty action film with furious gods and fire-spewing fiends locked in deadly battle, you will find a heartwarming tale of charm and humour that promises to show us what it means to be human.
Filming is under way in Los Angeles on the romantic comedy, whose all-star cast of movie and TV favourites includes Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) and Kristy Swanson (Buffy), with large cameo roles from Matthew Perry (Friends) and Dean Cain (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman). We previously reported that Resident Evil actress Sienna Guillory and the Farley brothers had also signed on to the production.

Game of Thrones: 'the Sopranos with swords' returns

It was the big HBO hit of last year, full of conniving, back stabbing and dragons' eggs, now Game of Thrones is back. Richard Vine talks strategy with the cast and crew
Spring is here. And that can mean only one thing: winter is coming. Last year, unsuspecting viewers were first introduced to the bloodied world of Westeros. If you've yet to watch, Game Of Thrones is a fantasy following the machinations of nine long-standing dynasties spread across seven kingdoms, all fighting to take control of the seat of power – the Iron Throne. There's incest, infanticide and adultery – but also starvation, corruption and council meetings. We meet giant wolves in the forests, burly knights in brothels and tiny kids in battle; kings who have no interest in ruling, and politicians who can barely contain their contempt for authority. You can lose your head (literally) if you cross the wrong man, »

In case the abundance of television news lately wasn't enough of a hint, it's pilot season which can see some interesting projects attempt to break onto the scene. One television project already fronting cameras that we're highly anticipating for next year is Jane Campion's six-part mini-series "Top Of The Lake." Led by "Mad Men" star Elisabeth Moss, the Gerard Lee co-scripted tale follows the story of detective Robin Griffin as she loses herself investigating the disappearance of the 12-year-old pregnant daughter of a local drug lord in remote, mountainous New Zealand.

Not Your Average Heroines: TV’s Top 9 Warrior Women
26 March 2012 11:43 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
With The Hunger Games a box office hit and the highly anticipated second season of Game of Thrones only a week away, it’s a good time to be a fan of powerful female characters. There are plenty of strong women on television (though, it feels important to add, still far fewer than strong men), and a list of female badasses on television would be surprisingly long. But who are the true women warriors of television, the survivors and soldiers? Who can you imagine hefting a sword or shouldering a crossbow, going into battle, and coming out the other side? For your consideration:
**Author’s note: I wanted this to be a top 10, but couldn’t come up with a 10th that I felt equated to the others. Get on this, TV writers!
Runners Up: Sydney Bristow (Alias), Susan Ivanova (B5), Victoria Barkley (The Big Valley), Echo (Dollhouse), Turanga »

Spartacus Vengeance Lucy Lawless arrested for halting up oil ship today in Nz. According to a new report from New York Daily News Starz Spartacus,Lucretia,starlet Lucy Lawless has gone stone crazy as she was arrested earlier today for trying to stop some oil-drilling ship from taking off in New Zealand. Apparently,she's an activist over there,and jumped into the ship with 5 other Greenpeace activists to protest. Surely enough,the police were called,and they came to arrest Lucy and the rest of her gang. Lucy was trying raise awareness about an Arctic oil drilling. It doesn't sound like it was a good idea as they were all charged with burglary,and will have to appear in a New Zealand court this Thursday. I don't think the Spartacus people are going to be too happy about this incident. Lucy is now 43 years old,and made her jump to »
