23 hours ago | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
The Doctor! Guillermo del Toro! Vampire pilot for FX! Who Wouldn’T be all over this story? We’ve actually already told you a little about the del Toro vampire pilot The Strain, based on the trilogy of books he co-authored with Chuck Hogan (Prince of Thieves). If picked up, the showrunner would be our beloved Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel).
So, as the headline blares, the newest cast member is (one of) the Doctor(s). This particular Doctor is the newest to us, though I suspect he’s one of the oldest. It’s John Hurt, reuniting with his Hellboy director del Toro. Hurt’s castmates in include Corey Stoll (The Bourne Legacy, Midnight in Paris), Mia Maestro (Nadia in Alias) and Kevin Durand (Keamy in Lost). Here’s the press release, which includes a synopsis of the show:

She 'Can't Be Prouder' Of 'Buffy'
20 May 2013 7:12 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" ended 10 years ago on May 20, 2003. Yes, it's been a decade since the Slayer and the Scoobies closed the Hellmouth in Sunnydale, California.
Series star Sarah Michelle Gellar is returning to TV opposite Robin Williams with "The Crazy Ones," a new comedy on CBS this fall. At the CBS 2013 upfront red carpet last week, Gellar was surprised by how much time has passed since she last wielded a wooden stake on TV.
"Wait, wait. Hold on. Really?" she replied when The Huffington Post told her the 10th anniversary of the "Buffy" finale was upon us. "Wow. God, you just blew my mind." Williams, who accompanied Gellar on the red carpet said, "It's kind of wonderful."
"It is," Gellar said. "I'm incredibly proud of that show -- proud of everybody on it, of what we did ... You can't be prouder of that show. It still holds up in »

Peabody Awards Honors TV At Its Best
19 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Thirty-nine recipients of the 72nd Annual Peabody Awards will be honored May 20 at the Waldorf-Astoria in Gotham. The Peabodys, bestowed by the U. of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, cite the best in electronic media. Herewith are a few of the projects and people being honored.
The Smithsonian Channel’s “Mlk: The Assassination Tapes” couldn’t have been made if professors at Memphis State U., back in 1968, didn’t have the foresight to preserve the historic TV, radio and police-report tapes regarding the Martin Luther King assassination. Typically, those tapes were reused and hence lost.
“It was extraordinary to find this treasure trove,” says David Royle, exec VP of programming and production at the Smithsonian Channel. Equally extraordinary, filmmaker Tom Jennings “crafts a film from these tapes that is entirely dramatic and immediate, taking the reality that existed at the time and infusing it with drama and intensity. »

Ben Stiller's Secret New Project
21 April 2013 7:15 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Ben Stiller and Jay Roach have known each other since first working together on "Meet the Parents" in 2000, and those 13 years of friendship made the pair's conversation at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday afternoon just that: a conversation. As part of the Tribeca Talks: Directors' Series, Stiller and Roach, both directors, discussed all matter of moviemaking and seemed to come to one unavoidable conclusion.
"It's really hard to get most movies made," Stiller said about the current state of the industry. "Especially independent films, and even just regular, mid-range budgeted dramas. The genre movies and sequels are obviously what becomes the thing."
Which is what makes Stiller's newest film such an anomaly. The 47-year-old directs and stars in the upcoming 20th Century Fox film "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," an adaptation of the James Thurber short story of the same name. That work, which was originally published »

'Side Effects' Writer Scott Z. Burns & 'Game Change' Director Jay Roach Team For Lance Armstrong Movie
8 March 2013 11:34 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While it remains to be seen when J.J. Abrams will get to his Lance Armstrong movie that he's producing, now that he's involved in the world of "Star Wars," a rival project is brewing and it's already boasting some great talent. Warner Bros. has picked up a movie about the cyclist that will be penned by Scott Z. Burns ("Side Effects," "Contagion") and directed by Jay Roach ("Game Change," "Recount") which, given each of their resumes, is pretty exciting stuff. Helping in building the material to tell their tale, the project has secured the life rights of Tyler Hamilton, one of the racers on Armstrong's team, who later testified against him, leading to his downfall. Hamilton was one of the first on the inside to speak out, appearing on "60 Minutes" to make the revelation, and that show's producer Michael Radutzky is also looking to join on the untitled movie as well. »

The Campaign DVD Review
22 January 2013 3:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Us Politics is a big thing, in the Us it is anyway, the publicity and hyperbole surrounding candidates for election has more in common with WWE Monday Night Raw than it does with anything that happens here in Westminster. In fact if we could get some of that circus over here then it might encourage people to vote a bit more and take an interest but I digress.
The Campaign is the latest film from Austin Powers and Meet the Parents director Jay Roach and takes the absurdity and mudslinging present in Us election campaigns and turns it up to eleven, with mixed results.
Will Ferrell does his thing that he did with his celebrated George W.Bush routine but slightly more exaggerated and plays Cam Brady a Us Congressional candidate for North Carolina who typically runs unopposed but who has a philandering Clinton like reputation. When a couple of »

Blu-ray Review: HBO’s ‘Game Change’ Triumphs with Brilliant Performances
11 January 2013 11:44 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – When the HBO film, “Game Change,” was first announced, it sounded rather unnecessary. Why would Alaska governor-turned-vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s overinflated celebrity deserve such a prestigious biopic? Wasn’t her TLC program, not to mention Tina Fey’s brilliant SNL parody, more than enough small-screen exposure for the oft-embarrassing politician?
Yet this film, superbly directed by Jay Roach, is less about Palin then it is about the superficial posturing that has taken over America’s political landscape. Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s bestselling book of the same name explored how celebrity triumphed over substance during the 2008 election season, as Republicans scrambled to equal the game-changing candidacy of Barack Obama. Screenwriter Danny Strong centers his film on Steve Schmidt, the campaign strategist who backed Palin and lived to regret it.
Blu-ray Rating: 4.5/5.0
As played by Woody Harrelson, an actor who just gets better with every successive year, »

Sean Durkin, Jane Campion, Rowe & Franco: Top 15 Most Anticipated Miniseries or Made for Television Films of 2013

Here at Ioncinema.com, our interests with film extends into the world of the occasional television mini-series or made for TV project, a place were we see a lot of notable directors going for artistic freedoms they often cannot find elsewhere (we recently think back to: Todd Haynes’ Mildred Pierce, Ross Katz’s Taking Chance, Tom Hooper’s John Adams, Jay Roach’s Recount and if you want to include it but we don’t, Olivier Assayas’ Carlos). Looking forward into 2013, we’ve noticed a large amount of notable projects, from the long gestating mini-series debut of Stephen King’s Under the Dome, which seems to have snagged Swedish director Niels Arden Oplev (of the original The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo fame), and another notable foreign language talent, Pierre Scholler (whose 2011 film The Minister featured a praiseworthy Olivier Gourmet) who is heading to French television for Les Anonymes, with »
