15 hours ago | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Juan Antonio Bayona, the Spanish director who’s known for The Orphanage and The Impossible, has been tapped to direct the first two episodes of Showtime’s psychosexual horror series Penny Dreadful. The series is created, written and executive produced by John Logan (Hugo, The Aviator, Gladiator, Skyfall) and also executive produced by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) and Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road).
The show will feature Dorian Gray, Van Helsing, Dracula, Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, and other famous characters from literature. Due to the talent and content involved, Penny Dreadful is one of my most anticipated projects.

Sony sets release dates for The Amazing Spider-Man 3... and 4
23 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Despite the fact that the second instalment in its rebooted franchise, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, doesn't hit cinemas for close to a year, Sony Pictures has today announced its securing the long-term future of the Spidey series with not one but two further sequels, set to hit screens in 2016 and 2018 respectively.
"Spider-Man is our most important, most successful, and most beloved franchise, so we’re thrilled that we are in a position to lock in these prime release dates over the next five years," said Jeff Blake, Chairman of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution, revealing that The Amazing Spider-Man 3 will open on June 10th 2016, followed by The Amazing Spider-Man 4 on May 4th 2018.
Following three hugely successful Spider-Man films from Sam Raimi (the third in terms of box office, at least), Sony rebooted the series last year under director Marc Webb, as Andrew Garfield took on the mantle of the wall-crawler for The Amazing Spider-Man, »

Superman Reboot Grossed $3 Million More Than Originally Estimated - Now No.2 Non-Sequel in June (Sort of)
17 June 2013 7:39 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Man of Steel weekend box office: Above estimates, but real June record remains beyond the reach of Superman 2013 reboot (image: Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel) Somewhat surprisingly — it’s usually the other way around — Warner Bros.’ Man of Steel grossed more than $3 million above studio estimates released on Sunday, June 16, 2013. Directed by Zack Snyder (300, Sucker Punch), and starring Henry Cavill (The Tudors, possibly the upcoming The Man from U.N.C.L.E.), the 2013 Superman reboot scored $116.61 million from 4,207 North American locations according to weekend box-office actuals found at Box Office Mojo. Once Thursday evening figures are added, the $225 million-budgeted Man of Steel‘s domestic cume reached $128.68 million by Sunday evening. Now, Man of Steel‘s adjusted $116.61 million doesn’t change the June Box-Office Record Chart in any way. The Superman reboot remains ahead of the former official June champ, the Tom Hanks-, Tim Allen-voiced Toy Story 3‘s »

The Killing Recap: 'He's One of the Good Ones'

Just like detective work, the sweet, sad success of The Killing lies in the sometimes terrible details:
A request from a battered street kid for popsicles in any flavor but orange. The proud defiance of a haggard old woman complicit in an unspeakable child pornography ring. A little blue teddy bear in a wooden trunk, its arms and feet chained in a submissive pose.

Kevin Spacey Deals on ‘House of Cards’
14 June 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Kevin Spacey lives with “House of Cards” through a stack of his own cards, which are peppered with lines and directions. “My cards are my routine,” Spacey explains after another 12 hours on the set of the Netflix series, which shoots in Baltimore.
At a certain point in production, Spacey ditches his script in favor of the more mobile notecards, allowing him to wander restaurants, elevators, stores, anywhere he wants, and absorb Francis Underwood.
“I like to live with the material two weeks ahead. … My cards, they’re my compact little bible.”
As production shifts back into overdrive on the Netflix streaming series, Spacey is, in a way, only now beginning to understand his character — the conniving, power-hungry House majority whip from South Carolina hellbent on rising to America’s highest office.
Living with the likes of Underwood, who — carved with the sharp pen of scribe and showrunner Beau Willimon — is “relentless, »

HBO has cast the first star of Ryan Murphy‘s human sexuality drama Open with American Beauty and Hunger Games stud Wes Bentley as a handsome but arrogant man who will tell you his theories about human sexuality given any chance.
TV Land’s upcoming sitcom Kirstie already has a Cheers reunion since it stars Kirstie Alley and Rhea Perlman. Now, Deadline reports that will be a Seinfeld reunion, too. Jason Alexander has signed up for a guest-role that could turn into a recurring character, which teams him up with Michael Richards.

Ryan Murphy's HBO pilot 'Open' adds Wes Bentley
13 June 2013 6:07 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Having conquered network television and basic cable, Ryan Murphy's trying his luck on premium cable -- and he's taking Wes Bentley with him.
The "Hunger Games" star has signed on to star in Murphy's "Open," a drama pilot at HBO. The project, co-written with Lauren Gussis ("Dexter"), is described as a modern, provocative exploration of human sexuality and relationships.
The Wrap reports that Bentley will play Evan Foster in the series, a character described as "handsome and knows it, arrogant and completely charismatic, a bit of a blowhard who loves espousing his theories on human sexuality."
"Open" marks a rare foray into TV for Bentley. Previously, the actor was attached to the HBO pilot "Tilda," starring Ellen Page and Diane Keaton, but the pilot never went to series.
Beyond his role as Seneca Crane in "The Hunger Games," Bentley's other film credits include "American Beauty" and "Lovelace." »

Another classic Spidey villain rumoured for The Amazing Spider-Man 2
11 June 2013 1:14 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
We already know that Andrew Garfield's web-slinger is set to have his hands full when he dons the mask for a second outing in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 next year, with Jamie Foxx (Django Unchained) and Paul Giamatti (Sideways) starring as Electro and The Rhino respectively, while Chris Cooper (American Beauty) will portray Peter Parker's arch-nemesis Norman Osborn, a.k.a. The Green Goblin. Well, if a new rumour is to be believed, we can now add another classic face from Spidey's rogues gallery, with Comic Book Movie suggesting that Colm Feore (Thor) is playing Adrian Toomes - better known as The Vulture.
Now, there is the chance that this could be nothing more than speculation and if so, it's nothing new, seeing as Feore has been rumoured as The Vulture since he was first announced as joining the cast of the Marc Webb-directed sequel. It's also puzzling »
