Two intriguing casting announcements for the second season of HBO's hit anthology series True Detective are making the rounds online today, with word that About Cherry breakout Ashley Hinshaw and "Jessie's Girl" singer Rick Springfield have both landed roles.
Boardwalk Empire alum Michael Stuhlbarg has signed on to a highly promising follow-up project today, with word that he's set to portray a journalist in Universal's Danny Boyle-directed, Aaron Sorkin-scripted Steve Jobs movie.
As the campy, kooky American Horror Story: Freak Show enters its endgame, creator Ryan Murphy is hard at work pulling together not only that hit series' next installments but also a spinoff series centered around infamous American crimes. Now, that spinoff, the first season of which will be titled American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson, has found its leads.
One of the year's most captivating thrillers is coming to Blu-Ray early next year. David Fincher's Gone Girl, adapted from the bestseller by Gillian Flynn, will be hitting shelves January 13.
Over 100 million viewers eagerly checked out the teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens when it was unveiled at the end of last month, putting it well on its way to becoming the most-viewed trailer of all time. Still, there are some who have yet to witness the glory of the triple-bladed lightsaber - including, believe it or not, Star Wars creator George Lucas.
Community, the show that will never die, is returning next spring for its sixth season, but the premiere will find the acclaimed comedy in different shape than we last left it. For one, the Dan Harmon-created series has jumped from NBC, which axed it last summer, to a new home on Yahoo Screen. For another, series regular Yvette Nicole Brown, who played Shirley Bennett, opted not to return for the sixth season, leaving a considerable void. As such, it makes sense that the first images from season 6 want to show us one way in which Community lovers can expect to see a new kind of show.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 marked our penultimate excursion to the dystopian world of Panem, but one other massively popular YA franchise still has three films coming down the pipeline. Though Divergent received mixed reviews, it was a box office giant, and so the folks over at Summit Entertainment are undoubtedly rubbing their hands together in anticipation for this spring's sequel Insurgent. Recently, a new image was released from the film, and Summit firmed up plans for future entries by signing the film's helmer for threequel Allegiant - Part 1.
Warner Bros. isn't concealing its confidence in Zak Penn's script for Ready Player One, an adaptation of the dystopian bestseller by Ernie Cline. Friday, we brought you word that the studio had offered directorial duties to none other than Interstellar helmer Christopher Nolan, and now four more high-profile directors have been added to the studio's rather ambitious wish list. In addition to Nolan, Warner Bros. is apparently now looking at Robert Zemeckis, Peter Jackon, Edgar Wright and Matthew Vaughn.
People were generally divided into two schools of thought on HBO's solemn, mysterious drama The Leftovers. Either you appreciated it as a thoughtful examination of grief and loss, or you dismissed it as an overwrought exercise in misery porn. And though its ratings weren't anything to write home about, HBO did renew the show for a second season, so showrunners Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta will have another chance to engage viewers. Intriguingly, they'll be changing things up quite a bit in order to do so.
Just a few days ago, we brought you the first casting news for AMC's upcoming Walking Dead spinoff, tentatively titled Cobalt. Now, the planned post-apocalyptic drama series has cast its first lead actor, with word that Cliff Curtis, formerly of Fox's short-lived Gang Related, has come aboard.
