In light of Gotham having recently been granted an order for extra episodes, it seems that Fox are confident in the future of the show. As well as the season one extension, the addition of more crackers characters from DC's back catalogue would indicate that Arkham Asylum could serve as a narrative lynchpin of sorts. Now that Morena Baccarin has joined as one of the asylum's most decorated workers, Dr. Leslie Thompkins, this might definitely be the case.
A trend that's taking over Hollywood as of late is the rise of the biblical epic. In the last year alone, we've seen Darren Aronofsky's take on the infamous arc builder in Noah, and soon Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods And Kings will land in theatres. Now, Warner Bros. are keen to get in on the sandal action, as the studio is making headway on their property Methuselah.
Cast your minds back to July, and you may recall Disney dropping the first teaser for its upcoming musical romp, Into The Woods. The anticipation began to mount with stills and posters littering the web, before we had the chance to see the starry cast transformed into their fairy tale icons in the preview. While it was indeed a tease, there was one noticeable name barely given a glance - Johnny Depp. With the movie's release a mere two months away now, EW has bombarded newsstands with multiple glossy covers featuring the cast. And yes, there's one of Monsieur Depp.
Focus Features are ramping up to scare the pants off everyone next Spring with the release of Insidious: Chapter 3.

The sheer volume of British television shows that receive the U.S. reboot treatment continues to baffle me, mainly because for the majority they're a massive flop. Much like the recent Guardians Of The Galaxy Chinese subtitle issue, wherein the nuanced comedy was lost in translation, a similar fate often befalls British shows headed across the pond. Still, we can hold out hope that ABC Studios and Amblin TV won't make a complete balls-up of No Angels.
Could Kim Basinger be gearing up to bag another Oscar? Possibly so, as we've just learned via THR that the actress has signed on to appear in Warner Bros. period noir, The Nice Guys.
Christian Slater has signed on to USA Network's upcoming hacker thriller serial, Mr. Robot. Nabbing the titular role, Slater will topline his first show after his star turn in ABC's Mind Games.
2003's debauched yuletide comedy, Bad Santa, aimed to firmly remove any notions that folks who dress up once a year to play the jolly chap are without issues. Billy Bob Thornton's take on the rotund fellow completely veered away from saccharine stereotypes of a happy man who only wants to deliver cheer to everyone. Instead, his store-front Santa was a drunken slob who chased women and shirked his duties whenever possible.
