You’d be forgiven for not being inclined to laugh at anything pregnancy-related at the moment. Kudos to “Doula” for trying, though, as director Cheryl Nichols’ lighthearted pregnancy comedy arrives at a time when the “laughter is the best medicine” theory is being stress-tested like never before for women across the country. To call its brand of comedy “niche” might be an understatement — for one thing, its central plot development hinges on knowing the difference between a midwife and a doula — but the film’s insights ultimately outnumber its laughs.
That wouldn’t appear to be the case early on, as the funniest scene is also the first. Eyes closed during a visualization exercise, Deb (Troian Bellisario) reluctantly informs her midwife Penka (Cheryl Baker) that it isn’t working. She can’t see a baby, just an orangish blob. There’s just one problem: Penka has died sometime in the last few minutes.

As Netflix continues to assert itself as a major television company with such acclaimed series as House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, Amazon Studios is racing to catch up by ordering series it hopes will be equally well-received. So far, Amazon has scored one big hit in the form of Jeffrey Tambor-led dramedy Transparent, and it hopes to find some more in the new lineup of pilots, which will be made available for viewing as part of the company’s first pilot season of 2015.
Enclosed are descriptions of all seven pilots, courtesy of Deadline. The talented involved on all of them is impressive, to say the least.

NBC has announced some of the pilots that it will not be ordering to series this fall -- releasing actors and writers from their contracts. This doesn't mean that those not listed here will definitely be picked up; it simply means that they're still in contention for the (many) open spots in NBC's fall lineup.

After we see Chris Pine finally reprise his role as Captain James T. Kirk in J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek 2, it looks like the actor will be taking a step away from big budget filmmaking and into the Diy zone. He's co-written and will star in a movie called Mantivities, a comedy about a bunch of guys in their early thirties who are basically overgrown children, and how they all must come together when it's time for one of them to truly grow up.
Deadline has the story, and they report that Pine wrote the film with his friends Will Greenberg, Drew Howerton, Robert Baker, Ian Gotler and Tony Liebetrau. Michael Patrick Jann will be sitting in the director's chair on this one, and if you're not familiar with that name, don't worry - you're not alone.

Even while actor Chris Pine floats around space thanks to the production of helmer J.J. Abrams' “Star Trek 2,” it would look as if he’s lining up his next projects once he returns from the Enterprise deck. One option could be that he takes the role of the Tom Clancy-created character Jack Ryan for another spin at Paramount, which we’re not really sure we want to see, but it seems he could take an altogether more promising route that offers him work both in front of, and for the first time, behind the camera.

A good barometer for one’s success level in Hollywood is if you have enough money to get all of your best buds together, write a screenplay then produce it into a feature film. Star Trek star Chris Pine must be at the top of his game, cause he has done just that for a new independent comedy.
Deadline reports that actor will be making his producing and writing debut in a film titled Mantivities, which he wrote with his friends Will Greenberg, Drew Howerton, Robert Baker, Ian Gotler and Tony Liebetrau. Pine will also star in the film that doesn’t seem to stray far from their real lives, as it follows a group of best buds in their 30s, who are “all in various stages of permanent adolescence.” The plot follows them attempting to assist one in their group to grow up.

Star Trek's Chris Pine got a bit of a beating earlier this year when the action-comedy he headlined with Tom Hardy, This Means War, stumbled at the box office and was hammered by critics. Still, things are looking up for the handsome leading man with a winsome demeanor. Pine will show his drama chops in June in Alex Kurtzman's People Like Us. He has recently wrapped on the wildly anticipated Star Trek 2, and is gearing up to front the presently untitled Jack Ryan project, based on the popular Tom Clancy thriller novels. But Pine has a mind to carve out his own opportunities, and Deadline reports he has just set up a comedy script of his own with newly minted production company Waterstone Entertainment. Awkwardly titled Mantivities, the screenplay Pine penned with friends Will Greenberg, Drew Howerton, Robert Baker, Ian Gotler and Tony Liebetrau centers on a...

Chris Pine knows that men will be boys.
The "Star Trek" star will soon be trying his hand at indie comedy as he's signed on to headline "Mantivities," according to Deadline.
"Mantivities" focuses on a group of thirtysomething friends, all in various stages of permanent adolescence. They get together with the aim of helping one of them grow up — and, in the process, we're imagining that all of them do.
