Warner Bros. TV are bringing back the fish-out-of-water buddy comedy, Rush Hour. Don't worry, you needn't waste resources on rolling your eyes. Sure, everyone's a smidgen cynical about the remake/reboot/adaptation cycle the industry is stuck in. But this new venture holds promise: Bill Lawrence, of Scrubs and Cougar Town fame, is on board to write and produce the show.
Remember that 30 Rock episode when the writers discover that Jack (Alec Baldwin) once recorded himself reciting the dictionary for cash? All of which then wound up on a type-n-speak website? The entire episode's biggest laughs emanate from the writers' plugging words into the site which then recites them in his unmistakable voice. That instance alone was enough to land Baldwin some serious voice work all those years back, and he's certainly Capital One'd the crap out of his marketable tones. So, it only makes sense that he's now joining forces with another unique vocal talent, Kevin Spacey, for Dreamworks Animation's next venture: Boss Baby.
Keanu Reeves' latest actioner sounds like your typical by-the-numbers American action romp. What can we say?

Or should we say, steps on, the competition. Proof that there's life in the old gal yet, this final trailer for the movie should have you gearing up to check it out at the end of October.
The real-life story behind Dan Rather's ruined reputation after his report on George W. Bush's dodginess during the Vietnam enlistment is heading to the big screen.

With principal photography set to begin next week on Truth, another big name has joined the cast.

The network has acquired the title with plans to adapt the original movie into an event series told through 30 minute episodes. Penny Marshall's original 1988 caper told the story of Josh Baskin, a 13-year old kid who makes a wish on a fortune-telling arcade machine. The next morning he wakes to find his dream - to become 'big' - has become a reality. Whether or not he also muttered that he'd like to look like Tom Hanks is by the by, as the floppy-haired actor absolutely killed it as the kid trapped in the body of an adult.
Are Disney trying to jump aboard the young adult bandwagon with the latest piece of news? Or is this just another attempt at rejuvenating properties that are guaranteed to rake it in at the box office? You decide. The Perks Of Being A Wallflower author-screenwriter-director-teenage saviour, Stephen Chbosky, has signed on to redraft a new version of the script for the studio's upcoming Beauty And The Beast remake.
New Line's reboot-sequel to the hilarious 80s National Lampoon franchise has added two more names to its cast today, as Key & Peele's Keegan-Michael Key and About Last Night's Regina Hall have opted into the crazy shenanigans of Vacation.
Earlier this month we learned that AMC had ordered a pilot for a brand-new spinoff show based around The Walking Dead. As the scope of the original show focuses on one specific band of survivors, the aim of this new series is to delve into precisely "what is going on in the zombie apocalypse in other parts of the world." You can't really grumble with the idea. There have been many occasions during the main show that fans have pondered, just how are other people dealing with the hordes of the undead? And who might they be?
