Longtime TV Regulars Face Uncertain Job Market

Not every TV series ensemble actor has been as lucky as Bryan Cranston.
After years of playing the dad on Malcolm in the Middle, the talented thesp landed the gig as Walter White on Breaking Bad that shot him to the top of casting must-have lists.
Actors can spend years as important cogs in a successful ensemble series, and then find themselves jobless after season upon season of security. For every Cranston, there are hundreds of actors who slip into obscurity or unemployment once their long-running series are over.
Cranston’s Breaking Bad co-star Aaron Paul has already begun his segue. Transitioning into film work, Paul is in such projects as DreamWorks’ Need for Speed.
“It’s all about doing something that terrifies me a little bit and is completely different from myself,” Paul says. “I’m having so much fun doing this action film, but I think after this »

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas on Hollywood's Impending Doom
13 June 2013 10:50 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
As the old saying goes, "All good things come to an end." Right now Hollywood studios are doing very well for themselves. They are making big budget films that are paying off for them in spades. People are making a lot of money. Marvel is a perfect example of this with films like The Avengers and Iron Man 3. It doesn't hurt the studios to charge people more money to see their movies either. It seems like the are already forcing us to pay an extra $5 to see their movies in 3D and if you want to see the film in IMAX, well it's another extra $5. It's crazy that I find myself paying $21.50 to see a movie sometimes these days. It's kind of sad, especially since the economy isn't really getting any better.

HBO’s ‘The Leftovers’ Casts Christopher Eccleston & Three More Actors
11 June 2013 7:05 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Damon Lindelof is something of a divisive figure among film and TV fans. The writer/producer has long dealt with criticism regarding his handling of the larger story points and mysteries in works such as Lost and Prometheus. Regardless, Lindelof’s about to re-enter the world of television with The Leftovers.
The series – which will deal with the aftermath of a Rapture-like event – has already cast Justin Theroux in the lead and snagged Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights, Battleship) to direct the pilot. Now the project continues to come together, with news that four new actors have been cast to flesh out The Leftovers‘ regular cast.
According to Deadline, Christopher Eccleston, Ann Dowd, Amanda ...

Paramount & MGM Begin Production on Hercules
10 June 2013 12:51 PM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Founded in 2007, Radical Studios is a multimedia company that incubated comic books for exploitation in other forms. Among their earliest releases was Hercules, boasting a Steranko cover, and it came with high production values and a bit of a buzz., The character returned for a second miniseries in and this interpretation captured Hollywood’s fancy. After years in development, production on the movie adaptation began today. Thew film enters a crowded summer 2014, especially for super-hero films, coming after Captain America: The Winter Solider and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and just before X-Men: Days of Future Past and Guardians of the Galaxy (raising the question whether or not four Marvel Universe films in five months will reach the saturation point).
Here’s the formal release:

Brett Ratner’s ‘Hercules: The Thracian Wars’ Begins Filming!
10 June 2013 12:19 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Brett Ratner’s down to Earth Hercules adaptation, starring Dwayne Johnson, has started principal photography. The film is based on the graphic novel ‘Hercules: The Thracian Wars’, and explores the man behind the myth, in a similar way to 2004′s King Arthur, removing all talk of magic and gods. See below for the complete press release.
I like the idea of removing magic from magical stories, but it can also just be a bit of a gimmick as well as showing the story as being pretty boring. What next? The legend of St. George where he slays, not a dragon, but a gecko? Or perhaps we’ll see Harry Potter as a wizard…a Maths wizard that is!
Hercules: The Thracian Wars is released 25th July 2014. It stars Dwayne Johnson, John Hurt, Joseph Fiennes, Aksel Hennie, Rufus Sewell, Ian McShane, and Rebecca Ferguson.

8 Actors We Never Need to See in Another Movie Ever Again
7 June 2013 7:25 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Fame is a fleeting fox that outruns most. Sometimes, notoriety outshines its own spotlight. Whether through the casting couch or blood, sweat and tears, the occasional performer will squeak through to the other side and achieve a modicum of accolades. Some are worthwhile, while others are unbearable. We all have that irritating nitpick of an actor who occasional, and suddenly, pops up in a movie just when the getting is good, and it swerves the car completely off the road. "Who invited this guy?" we ask ourselves, hoping s/he gets killed off before we have to get up out of our seat and ask for our money back.
It's a mild irritation, all things considered.
And then there's that very special group of actors who simply don't belong in movies at all. Yet there they are, begging us to watch them, vying for our attention before they are quickly »

Will Peter Berg turn things around after Battleship with Lone Survivor?

I bet no one here forgot the tremendous numbers that Battleship brought in. Oh no, that was backwards. You could see that ship sinking from a mile away. Peter Berg is better than that, and poor Taylor Kitsch went down with him. Their fates may have changed in a big way though. Berg's Afghanistan war drama Lone Survivor based on the best seller Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account Of Operation Redwing And The Lost Heroes Of Seal Team 10 by Marcus Luttrell and Patrick Robinson might be a »

Justin Theroux to Star in HBO’s ‘Leftovers’ Pilot
4 June 2013 1:30 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
HBO’s latest drama pilot, The Leftovers, has created a fair amount of buzz thanks to a creative team that includes former Lost showrunner and Star Trek Into Darkness scripter Damon Lindelof; former Friday Night Lights co-creator and Battleship director Peter Berg; and source material author Tom Perrotta. However, we had no idea who would be the on-screen face of the show… until now.
Film actor and occasional writer Justin Theroux has been cast as Kevin Garvey – a character that also exists in Perrotta’s novel – though it seems like there is already a small surface ...
