“I don’t like change,” Peggy declares at one point in this week’s Mad Men. “I just want everything back the way it was.” Too bad, Peg, because your entire world is about to shift in seismic fashion. After a very methodical start to the season, the AMC drama ramped up, big time, with the packed “For Immediate Release.” Let’s take a good look at what went down.

Now that The CW has (wisely) ordered ‘The Originals’ to series, HollywoodLife.com is looking forward to all the Klaus-rageous moments in store for us next season.
It’s been quite a week for The Vampire Diaries. Less than 24 hours after The CW drama aired the backdoor pilot for its potential spin-off, The Originals was officially picked up to series. And while I’m positively giddy about getting a double dose of vampire goodness every week next season, a large chunk of the fandom remains unconvinced. Allow me to serve up five reasons why everyone should be thrilled about Klaus’ (Joseph Morgan) future in the Big Easy.
1. Klaus & Joseph Morgan Have Endless Potential
When the dreaded “Klaus” was first name-dropped back in season two, I never could have predicted the seemingly one-dimensional über villain would grow to become someone I cared about. But boy did I misjudge him. The perfect storm »

Sebastian Junger is a tough guy. The whip-smart Vanity Fair contributing editor and author ("War," "Fire," "The Perfect Storm") has put himself in dangerous situations, from Liberia and Niger to Sierra Leone, as an occupational hazard. He won a National Magazine Award for reporting the Oct. 1999 Vanity Fair article “The Forensics of War.” But when he heard of the death of his best friend, British filmmaker and war photographer Tim Hetherington, 40, who had co-directed with him the Oscar-nominated Afghanistan doc "Restrepo," Junger gave up his jones for danger. "As soon as Tim was killed I decided within an hour," he told me. "I decided I am not going to do this." I first met Junger and Hetherington at Sundance in 2010 (see my "Restrepo" flipcam interview and Hetherington's own 2010 video diary below). "Restrepo," which is currently available for Netflix streaming, doesn't resemble your standard documentary or other embedded war docs, or voice-over narration films, »

Which Way Is The Front Line From Here? The Life and Time of Tim Hetherington is a documentary about a well-regarded combat reporter who died in a rocket attack by the Gaddafi troops in Misrata, Libya, in 2011. It is directed by his friend and colleague Sebastian Junger. A few years back, they made an award-winning documentary together, Restrepo, while embedded with a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan's deadly Korengal Valley. I got a chance to sit down with Junger this past week. Perhaps best known for his best-selling book, The Perfect Storm, Junger exudes masculinity and charisma as he speaks freely about his friend, war and dangers of combat reporting.Which Way Is The Front Line From Here? The Life and Time of Tim Hetherington...

On April 20, 2011, shortly after the release of his Oscar®-nominated documentary Restrepo, photographer and filmmaker Tim Hetherington was killed by mortar fire in Misrata, Libya, where he’d been covering the civil war. His death ended a brilliant ten-year career in which he covered such dramatic stories as the conflicts in Liberia and Afghanistan, but also transcended the conventional boundaries of image-making to become one of the most important journalists of his generation. Illuminating the risks of the combat journalist’s profession, Which Way is the Front Line from Here? The Life and Time of Tim Hetherington chronicles his work on the battlefield to reveal what made him such a singular talent, and a remarkable human being.

Josh Brolin and Diane Lane have announced the end of their marriage more than eight years after their wedding day, which in Hollywood years equals a lifetime.
A rep for the "Gangster Squad" star and "The Perfect Storm" actress confirmed the split to Us Weekly. A source close to the couple tells the mag, "It was a mutual decision. It is very amicable. It's not ugly, it's just over." So, celebrities who managed to make a marriage last nearly a decade and are divorcing amicably? This is pretty much the unicorn of couples, right?
Things haven't always been peachy keen between this couple. Josh was arrested in 2004, just a few months after the pair's nuptials, for a misdemeanor domestic battery when they got into a physical fight. Diane has also been rumored to give Josh ultimatums about his drinking, and he was arrested for public intoxication on New Year's Day this year. »

(Tim Hetherington, above, during the shooting of Restrepo.)
By Terry Keefe
News reports are stating that Tim Hetherington was tragically killed today in Libya. I interviewed Hetherington twice during the past year, along with Sebastian Junger, for Restrepo, the Oscar-nominated documentary they co-directed while embedded with an American platoon in Afghanistan.
Together, Hetherington and Junger created what I believe to be the most important film of the year. It is required viewing for all Americans, to be sure. Rest in peace.
I spoke to Hetherington and Junger two months ago, right before the Oscars, and prior to that, did a much longer interview with them on the shooting of Restrepo. I've reposted the entirety of that interview below.

I’ll just come out and say this - Restrepo is one of the best films about war ever made. »

One of Hollywood's long-lasting conventions is that friends take care of each other. Thus, veteran Hollywod film producer Paula Weinstein will join Tribeca Enterprises as the company's executive vice president overseeing Tribeca's international partnerships, and managing studio relations for both the Tribeca Film Festival (April 17-28) and Doha Tribeca Film Festival. She will work closely with Tribeca Enterprises chief creative officer Geoff Gilmore. She's taking over the responsibilities held by outgoing Patty Newberger, another old pal of Tribeca chief Jane Rosenthal, who was Tribeca's Sr. V.P., Studio Relations & Special Projects.

Too busy breaking stuff this morning to eyeball the press releases, but here’s one worth noting: Paula Weinstein, who has forgotten more about producing that a lot of producers know about producing, has taken a job as Evp of Tribeca Enterprises. Weinstein, who has produced such films as The Perfect Storm, Analyze This and Blood Diamond, gets a nice landing place at a time when things are tough for producers, and when the good projects take so damn long. That includes In The Heart Of The Sea: The Tragedy Of The Whaleship Essex, the Nathaniel Philbrick book about the real story of the destruction unleashed by the white whale that informed Moby Dick. I first broke news about this project more than 12 years ago at Daily Variety, and this gritty grueling tale of shipwreck, courage and cannibalism has been through a who’s who of top directors over the years. »

Brock Lesnar has been one of the most discussed personalities not only in wrestling, but in-general this week. Beginning on Monday night with his unexpected return, Lesnar shocked audiences by storming to the ring, staring boss Mr. McMahon into his soul before hoisting him onto his shoulders and delivering a thunderous F-5, Paul Heyman groaning in dismay at Lesnar’s actions expecting the full brunt of the consequences.
Raw went off the air with many questions unanswered; why is “The Next Big Thing” back? Did Paul Heyman purposely bring him back knowing Vince McMahon would be on his tail? And who is the next victim in Lesnar’s onslaught on the WWE?
The following morning Brock Lesnar was once again the topic of discussion, not solely for his television return but for the report that he had signed a two-year contract extension, one which rolls on until Wrestlemania 31, cementing Lesnar »

Gary Collinson presents an extract from his book Holy Franchise, Batman! Bringing the Caped Crusader to the Screen detailing director Wolfgang Petersen's aborted DC superhero cross-over movie Batman vs. Superman...
Although Warner Bros was finding it difficult to relaunch the Dark Knight after Batman & Robin, the struggle was nothing compared to that of its other major DC property, Superman. Having ushered in the modern superhero film in 1978 with Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie, the Man of Steel had been absent from the screen since his own franchise-killer, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, which the studio co-produced with Cannon Films back in 1987. The failure of Superman IV brought an end to a proposed fifth instalment in the Christopher Reeve series, with Batman producer Jon Peters subsequently coming on board in the early 1990s and commissioning a number of scripts based upon DC Comics’ ‘The Death and Return of Superman »

A vast expanse of ocean. A small boat, bobbing with uncertainty amongst looming waves. It’s an image that’s been created many times in many iterations across the cinema landscape - in Alfred Hitchcock’s Lifeboat, in The Perfect Storm, more recently in Ang Lee’s opus Life of Pi. And now, also, in Senegalese director Moussa Touré’s latest film, La Pirogue. One of the two gala screenings at the 20th edition of the African Diaspora International Film Festival (Adiff), its Us premiere last fall, La Pirogue is Touré’s third film in twenty years and, much like his sophomore effort Tgv (1998), it is a film about survival, a distinct sort of »
