Fox 2013-2014 Full Schedule Preview With Trailers And Images
14 May 2013 10:12 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
Fox has one of its better slates coming your way with the new season, especially if you take the midseason shows into account. Some of these shows may not jump out at you now as must-see, but some of them are going to take over, if I’m any judge anyway.
Clear showcase offerings Dads, Almost Human, and Us & Them are guaranteed to take off early. Almost Human has J.J. Abrams recognition to pull people in, though it looks to be a show that could flounder after a few episodes, even if I hope it doesn’t. The other two are going to become hits. Unfortunately, we have to wait until mid-season for the Gavin & Stacey remake.
Rake also looks like a winner, as long as the translation can be made to work as an Americanized product, and the show actually delivers what made the Australian original so brilliant.

Tom Cruise Confirmed for Mission: Impossible 5
6 May 2013 3:53 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Tom Cruise has finalized a deal to star in and produce Mission: Impossible 5 for Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions. The actor will reprise his role as Ethan Hunt from Mission: Impossible (1996), Mission: Impossible 2 (2000), Mission: Impossible III (2006), and Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (2011).
Christopher McQuarrie has been mentioned to direct this fifth installment in the action franchise, but no deal has been finalized yet. We reported in November that Tom Cruise hoped to reunite with Christopher McQuarrie on this project, after working together on last year's Jack Reacher. Christopher McQuarrie wrote the script for Tom Cruise's 2008 World War II drama Valkyrie, and the writer-director also provided uncredited screenplay polishes on All You Need Is Kill and Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol.
Paramount will co-finance the project with David Ellison's Skydance Productions. Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol was produced on a $145 million budget, and it went on to make nearly $700 million worldwide. »

Update: Number Of Titles Leaving Netflix Today Close To 1K
1 May 2013 3:10 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Update, 3:10 Pm: Clarifying statements from the involved parties have been flooding in since last night’s news about Netflix losing hundreds of movies from its streaming service beginning today. Reports originally said the vacating titles were from Warner Bros, but it turns out the majority were “older features that were aggregated by Epix,” a Netflix spokesman said this afternoon. Epix’s two-year exclusive deal with the streaming service expired in September; content from Epix — owned by Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM — also streams on Amazon Prime Instant Video. A source tells Deadline that that the number of expiring titles is closer to 1,000, rather than the 2,000 figure floating around online. “This ebb and flow happens all the time”, Netflix said. The company also said it is adding 500 more titles starting today, including Mission: Impossible 2.

John Woo To Shoot World War II Airborne Actioner 'Flying Tigers' In English
23 April 2013 9:27 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
John Woo and producer Terence Chang have long harbored the desire to shoot "Flying Tigers," an ambitious period actioner set in World War II. They have finally successfully raised the financing to take this big-budget epic airborne. Woo is one of the rare successful Hong Kong directors to take his action prowess to Hollywood on such films as "Face-Off" and "Mission: Impossible II" and has more recently lured significant funds in Asia to support such epics as the $80-million "Red Cliff," which made its money back in Asia but did not score stateside. "Flying Tigers" will be shot in English. (Today's Lat covers China's burgeoning entertainment industry.) Dutch-based Cyrte Investments and China Film Co., Ltd., the biggest film development, production and distribution company in China, will collaborate on a two-part feature film to open in China and a six-part TV drama mini-series to be sold globally.

John Woo's WWII Epic 'Flying Tigers' To Arrive As Feature Film & Extended, 6-Hour Miniseries
23 April 2013 8:37 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
John Woo ("Face/Off," "Mission: Impossible II") might have long ago left Hollywood in the dust, but his recent projects have been more epic in scope than any of the films he’s made in the past. His last solo directorial effort, "Red Cliff," had an $80 million budget, and the Chinese version was 280 minutes long. But his next project, the long-gestating "Flying Tigers," is shaping up to be his most ambitious effort yet. We first reported on "Flying Tigers" three years ago when Woo was looking for Liam Neeson to star in his WWII epic, with the idea of shooting in IMAX being tossed around. Now it looks like the project is actually happening, with the picture being released in China as a two-part film, and elsewhere as a six-hour TV miniseries.

The Top 10 Dumbest Lines in Tom Cruise Movies
19 April 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
We like Tom Cruise. Yes, the man be crazy, but he's also an endlessly charming rogue and a damn fine actor. But wow, does he sometimes have to say stupid things in his movies.
"Oblivion" has stunning production design and a sweet M83 score, but there's no doubt it contains at least one groan-inducing line of dialogue. Here are Tom Cruise's Top 10 most unfortunate quotes.
10. 'Vanilla Sky' (2001)
"I'll see you in another life … when we are both cats."
9. 'War of the Worlds' (2005)
"Look at the goddamn birds!"
8. 'Interview with the Vampire' (1994)
"You are a vampire who never knew what life was until it ran out in a big gush over your lips."
7. 'Days of Thunder' (1990)
"All right, tell me what's going on, tell me what's going on. I'm Blind, goddammit!"
6. 'Mission: Impossible II' (2000)
"We just rolled up a snowball and threw it into Hell. »

Forecast: 'Oblivion' Gets Jump on Summer Season This Weekend
18 April 2013 3:54 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
As the Summer movie season quickly approaches, the studios are only releasing one brand-new movie*Tom Cruise sci-fi adventure Oblivion*in to theaters nationwide this weekend. While strong word-of-mouth will keep 42 in play, Oblivion has enough going for it that it should open on top with at least $30 million, which will be the highest opening weekend in April 2013.At the beginning of the new century, Tom Cruise was arguably the biggest movie star in the U.S.: from Mission: Impossible II in 2000 to Mission: Impossible III in 2006, Cruise starred in seven-straight movies that earned at least $100 million at the domestic box office. Towards the end of that run, though, Cruise's public image took a hit due to some of his more eccentric behavior and his strong association with the controversial Church of Scientology. Since 2006, Cruise has only had a single $100 million domestic earner, which was the fourth Mission: Impossible »

Eli Roth talks about his Netflix series Hemlock Grove
10 April 2013 2:51 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
At the MipTV press conference, Cabin Fever director Eli Roth showed some clips of his new 13-episode Netflix series Hemlock Grove, as well as giving some of his thoughts on horror.
"When I saw American Werewolf in London, there was nothing that freaked me out more than that" he told the audience after airing a clip from the show of a werewolf transformation. "That howling visceral transformation... for this, we wanted something that would be beautiful and horrific, but which would f*ck up an entire generation."
Gore is certainly key to the series based on the two trailers released and Roth, who made a name for himself with 'torture porn' movies like Hostel, is very much aware of that, "you can see that people want their horror horrific. With The Walking Dead getting 12.5 million viewers, Evil Dead just opened at number one in the box office... people want stories like this". He continued, »

DirecTV goes 'Rogue' for ruthless crime family, clothing optional
3 April 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
They say that blood is thicker than water. But if you spill enough of it, does it even matter? That's a question almost all the characters in the gritty suspense drama "Rogue," premiering Wednesday, April 3, on DirecTV, need to ask themselves.
The 10-episode series stars Thandie Newton ("Mission: Impossible 2," "Crash") as Grace Travis, an undercover cop deep inside the family business of Jimmy Laszlo (Marton Csokas, "The Debt," "Alice In Wonderland"): a business down by the docks (wink, wink).
After the death of her young son in a suspicious drive-by shooting, Grace has found herself alienated from her own family and reluctantly joins forces with Jimmy, a man who may very well have had something to do with her son's murder. Without the permission of her bosses in the police department, she has gone back under cover in order to discover the guilty party.

Top 10 Best Tom Cruise Movies
1 April 2013 7:12 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
"Millions of galaxies of hundreds of millions of stars, in a speck on one in a blink. That’s us, lost in space." — Vincent, Collateral
Though he's most widely known for his action movies — the Mission: Impossible movies, in particular — superstar actor Tom Cruise has also starred in a handful of sci-fi movies in his career, including War of the Worlds (2005), his highest grossing domestic release to date. After an eight-year hiatus from sci-fi, Cruise will return to the genre on April 19th in Oblivion, a post-apocalyptic epic from director Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy) in which Cruise plays one of the last drone (read: clone) workers on an Earth that is all but abandoned following a devastating war with an alien race known as the Scavs.
In anticipation of Oblivion's imminent release, we thought this would be a great time to look back on Cruise's rather extensive filmography to determine, »
