'300' sequel 'Rise of an Empire' release delayed until 2014

9 May 2013 11:02 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

"300: Rise of an Empire" is moving from a planned summer 2013 release to March 7, 2014.

At the same time, distributor Warner Bros. is moving the Tom Cruise sci-fi action movie "All You Need is Kill" to June 6, 2014 because it had been scheduled for March 7. Consider that a good sign for "Kill" -- the studio must be confident if they believe it's fit for the competitive summer schedule -- but another bad sign for "300."

For the few who believe that a sequel to "300" even sounded like a good idea in the first place, changing a release date from a not-so-great August opening to an even worse March date is not what a studio does to a tentpole they believe in.

Sure, the original "300" opened in March and took the industry by surprise to become a mega-hit, but the last movie Warner Bros. shifted from a planned summer release to March was "Jack the Giant Slayer, »

Awesome Trailer for Michael Bay's New Series The Last Ship

8 May 2013 11:40 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

TNT has ordered up ten episodes of Michael Bay's new post-apocalyptic action drama series called The Last Ship, and it looks awesome! The network released a trailer for it that you've got to check out. I was actually really surprised by how good it looks. 

The series follows the fallout of a global catastrophe that nearly decimates the world’s population. Among the few survivors are the crew of the Navy destroyer U.S.S. Nathan James, which is now summoned by a new President of the United States to do whatever possible to abate the crisis.

Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy) stars as Captain Tom Chandler, a career Navy man who lords over the Nathan James, while Tracy Middendorf (Boardwalk Empire) plays his wife Darien. Adam Baldwin (Chuck) plays Slattery, the ship’s second-in-command who occasionally clashes with  Chandler over the best course of action, and Rhona Mitra(Strike Back) is Rachel Scott, »

TNT is hoping you'll come aboard "The Last Ship."

The network announced Tuesday (May 7) that it has greenlit a 10-episodes season of the Michael Bay-produced drama, based on William Brinkley's popular novel. McSteamy himself, "Grey's Anatomy"s Eric Dane, stars as Captain Tom Chandler.

Dane's character is a career Navy man, described as "authoritative and decisive, but also fair and courageous," who is respected and loved by those under his command. The series also stars Rhona Mitra ("Strike Back") as Rachel Scott, a paleomicrobiologist assigned to »

Now You See Me Trailer: It’s a Kind of Magic

11 April 2013 11:54 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Now You See Me looks like a heist movie mixed with a magic movie mixed with a Michael Caine/Morgan Freeman movie swirled into a Jesse Eisenberg/Woody Harrelson movie. It's from Louis Leterrier, the director of unrepentant action fare like The Transporter and Clash of the Titans, so it appears to be a change of pace. Still, we can imagine the Modern Day Robin Hood/99 Percenters Strike Back themes getting dropped pretty quickly in favor of some scenes designed strictly for oohs and ahhs. Now it's time for us to accept bets on the likelihood of a character saying abracadabra and making a smug CSI face afterward. »

First Battling Images from 300 Sequel Rise of an Empire

8 April 2013 6:27 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

It’s been years in the making, but finally, here are your first two official looks at the upcoming “300: Rise of an Empire”, the sequel to Zack Snyder’s 2006 surprise hit film “300″. Leonidas and company are dead and gone when the sequel starts up, with Athenian dude Themistokles (“Strike Back’s” Sullivan Stapleton) continuing the fight against those pesky invading Persians hordes, this time on the seas of Greece. According to director Noam Murro, “Rise of an Empire’s” battles won’t be confined to the seas, though that’s where most of it will happen. He tells USAToday: The first 300 took place primarily on a narrow pass known as the “Hot Gates,” where the Spartans sought tactical advantage due to their significantly smaller numbers. But Empire “happens over time in many different locations,” says Murro. “The opportunities for the six distinct battles are even greater with different locations and tactics. »

Cinemax Sets Its Eyes On Contract Killers With Quarry Adaptation

5 April 2013 5:18 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

With the successes of its original programs like Banshee and Strike Back, Cinemax is looking keep the streak going by greenlighting the pilot for a project based on the Max Allan Collins series of novels, Quarry. At first I thought this series must be about what it’s like to work in a quarry and would follow the lives of several laborers as they struggle with the dangers of their jobs and how it affects their already shaky personal lives, but upon more thorough research it would appear Quarry isn’t like that at all. I’m saddened, but I was suppose the project still sounds pretty cool…

Graham Gorgy and Michael D. Fuller are writing the Quarry pilot, reported Deadline. John Hillcoat is on board to direct with Anonymous Content co-producing. Hillcoat, Gorgy and Fuller will executive produce along with Anonymous’ Stever Golin, David Kanter, Matt DeRoss and Keith Redmon. »

Cinemax’s ‘Banshee’ Wraps Solid First Season

18 March 2013 12:38 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »

As all eyes are on the ratings for last night’s Season 2 finale of HBO’s Girls (expected any minute now), the season-finale numbers for Banshee, which airs on HBO sibling Cinemax, also came out today. While not as noisy as Girls and other cable series, the freshman drama executive produced by Alan Ball, which was already renewed for a second season, had a solid freshman run. Its season finale Friday drew 455,000 viewers at 10 Pm and 655,000 viewers for the two plays on the night. That is the largest audience yet for a Cinemax original series finale and third-highest for Banshee. Even before the finale, Banshee (average of 433,000 viewers in Live+Same Day/727,000 in Live+7) already outranked the two seasons of Cinemax’s Strike Back (303,000/512,000 for Season 2, 290,000/441,000 for Season 1). »
