It's getting down to the wire for fans to pick a side between Captain America and Iron Man, and Entertainment Weekly is helping draw a line in the sand with a collection of new covers for Marvel's Captain America: Civil War.
Benedict Cumberbatch might be focusing on his role as Marvel's strange new MCU superhero Doctor Strange, but news has come this week that the actor will voice the titular character in Universal's upcoming animated adaptation of How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
You can set your watch and warrant on it, Stephen King has confirmed via Twitter that filming is officially (read: finally) underway on the big-screen adaptation of The Dark Tower. That's all the prolific author teased about the film's production but with casting ramping up and less than a year to go until release, fans should definitely be excited.
It's easy to love BBC America's Orphan Black at face value. And I mean that literally - the show's selling point is still the central relationship of stalwart drifter Sarah (Tatiana Maslany), effortlessly cool nerd Cosima (Tatiana Maslany), plate-spinning soccer mom Alison (Tatiana Maslany), and psychopath-with-a-heart-of-gold Helena (Tatiana Maslany). If you haven't seen the show before, those aren't typos. Maslany plays a growing army of self-aware clones out to discover their true origins, and avoid getting killed off by various hate-spewing religious groups and evolutionary advantageous cults in the process.
I stand by my praise of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's peerlessly bizarre freshman season. Co-creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock created a world that not only felt weirdly truthful as its characters ran rampant through satisfying emotional beats, but was just plain weird. Robot maids were killed off, Don Draper was a maniacal cult leader, and ATMs gave out negative dollar bills. To put it plainly, Netflix saved a show that undoubtedly would never have seen its due on NBC. The cherry on top was a central theme of individuality, polished to a shine thanks to some welcomely diverse personalities that could have veered into grating stereotypes in lesser hands.
TBS' newest stab at original comedy fare tracks the hyper-random shenanigans one family encounters on a road trip from Syracuse, New York all the way down to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. There's an overly enthusiastic dad, a loving and protective mom, a dumb kid, and a smart one. So, yes, The Detour's timing after last year's lackluster Vacation reboot can be seen as admittedly poor (hell, show leads Jason Jones and Natalie Zea even look a little like Ed Helms and Christina Applegate).
Netflix has delved into its own talent pool to fill out its upcoming season of the awesomely creepy anthology series Black Mirror, hiring Madeline Brewer into an unspecified role on the show. Brewer's previous credits on the streaming service include Orange is the New Black and Hemlock Grove.
First he hallucinated that his little bro' was Jacob Tremblay (which just benefited everyone watching), and now astronaut Mike (Jason Sudeikis) has trekked all the way to southern California to be reunited with Tandy (Will Forte). And he brings family secrets with him in this week's all-new The Last Man on Earth.
"Is it over?" MTV certainly doesn't want fans to think that as we gear up for a new season of slasher mayhem in Scream, the network's reboot/remake that took essentially the idea of Wes Craven's classic and stretched it out over ten hours. The results were hit-and-miss, but it was a largely effective, and fun, bit of whodunnit mayhem.
Ahead of its July 8th release date, Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures today debuted nine bright new posters for its animal animated comedy The Secret Life of Pets. As the fairly descriptive title hints, the movie will follow the lives that a group of pets lead when their humans leave the house for the day.
