Controversial actor Kevin Spacey has secured his next feature film role. Following several public allegations of misconduct, Spacey’s career had slowed down considerably as the offers from Hollywood instantly dried up. He’s since been focusing on films outside of the U.S., and as Deadline reports, this now includes a main role in the historical drama 1242 – Gateway to the West. It is a UK/Hungarian/Mongolian co-production and the plan is to sell the film at Cannes Market....

Ever since Daredevil stars Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio made their debut in the MCU timeline as Daredevil and Kingpin respectively, fans have been wondering when other characters such as Jessica Jones and Luke Cage may turn up. While Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter has previously made it clear she would love to return to her role, and previously posted a snap of herself sporting a very “Jessica” hairstyle, a new photo shared by the actress has started a whole wave of speculation about her Marvel future....

Disney’s live action version of Lady and the Tramp is a wonderful remake of the classic ’50s cartoon. I must admit to being skeptical before watching. Will this be another soulless, unoriginal retread meant to squeeze easy money from generations of fan sentimentality? But just like Dumbo, Aladdin, and The Lion King, my negative preconceptions were completely squashed. Lady and the Tramp is a well-made, heartwarming family film. Its sugary sweet plot becomes infectiously entertaining....

Netflix will soon premiere its live-action Resident Evil series and a clip from the show reveals some new footage. In the clip, Lance Reddick is featured as Albert Wesker, seemingly in the immediate aftermath of something going wrong at the Umbrella Corporation lab. You can watch the footage below ahead of the show’s premiere on July 14. The series stars Ella Balinska, Lance Reddick, Tamara Smart, Siena Agudong, Adeline Rudolph, Paola Nuñez, Ahad Raza Mir, Connor Gossatti, and Turlough Convery....

Whether it be through a tragic backstory of a complex present, the Super Squad has not had it easy. For some, it has to do with the devastating loss of their parents or painful childhood memories. For others, the full extent of what they went through may not have been revealed, but enough hints were dropped or explained to suggest that their life before the Salvatore School may have been more complicated than what they were given credit for....

Ahead of his debut as a guest host on this season of Jeopardy! LeVar Burton continues to lobby for sticking around on a full-time basis. Since the show’s Emmy-winning host Alex Trebek passed away in November, the long-running game show has employed various celebrity guest hosts to fill in for a limited time. Finding the right successor for Trebek is obviously no easy task, and the producers were in no rush to name a permanent replacement....

Game of Thrones star Sean Bean is discussing the shocking death of Ned Stark ten years later. It’s hard to believe, but this April will mark the 10th anniversary of the premier episode of the wildly popular HBO series. From the start, the show hooked fans and kept them all the way through until the final episode, though a lot of hardcore fans believe that the show’s quality suffered towards the end....

It looks like George R.R. Martin is a lot further along with “A Song of Ice and Fire” than he originally let on. Game of Thrones actor Ian McElhinney, who played Barristan Selmy until 2015 on the hit HBO show, claims Martin has finished books six and seven after an eight year wait. Back when the show started in 2011, it was pretty much doing one book per season, which Martin started in 1996....

By all accounts, Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, based on the comic by Mark Millar, is a very different kind of superhero film, one rife with realistic violence and injuries. As if to emphasize that point, the film has released the first still of one of it’s main characters to Empire Online, and that still is of the 11-year old assassin Hit Girl, played by Chloe Grace Moretz. To check out the shot of Hit Girl Below!...

From Dusk Till Dawn is one of my favorite films. So, it goes without saying that Gianni Nunnari is one of my favorite producers. He bought the script for that film long before anyone knew who Quentin Tarantino was. Since that time, he has produced a dozen great, truly classic flicks. On his resume are Se7en, The Departed, and 300. Nunnari is currently the president and principal producer of Hollywood Gang Productions in Los Angeles....

Glee creator Ryan Murphy is joining forces with Sony Pictures for a musical comedy entitled One Hit Wonders, which has Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, Beyoncé Knowles, and Andy Samberg attached to star. The project centers on three singers (Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, and Cameron Diaz), who each had hit singles in the 1990s, although their careers fizzled shortly thereafter. They decide to jump-start their careers once more by combining to form a super group....

There’s just something about this season of Heroes that doesn’t feel quite right to me. I guess it’s something that all major serialized television drams encounter at some point in their duration. “Lost” ran into the same problem in their second season and it took a lot of time and effort (and griping from fans) to turn it around. I just hope it doesn’t take Heroes that long to realize they might be going in the wrong direction....

Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda has had a prolific career so far in his native Japan. He first rose to prominence with the movie After Life, becoming a staple in the international film festival circuits for his slice-of-life dramas focused on families, and recently rose to even more acclaim with the release of his films like After the Storm and Like Father, Like Son. In 2018, his tender and heart-warming movie Shoplifters took home the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, ultimately being nominated for several big Western awards like the BAFTA Awards, Oscars, and Golden Globes....

Beverly Cohen has to be the busiest gal in town. Following in the footsteps of Donald Trump & Bill Gates, she recently graced the cover of Celeb Staff Magazine. and threw a fabulous soiree at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills ( which she and hubby Bob Cohen happen to own.) Then a few weeks later, hosted a Boat Bash at her new home in Newport Beach, for their annual Holiday Boat Parade....

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is a series of comic books created in the late 1990s and early 2000s by Kurt Busiek and George Perez. It’s also the second to last MCU film in Phase 6. And if The Kang Dynasty is where the MCU is going, it should be easy just to read a few comics to get educated on coming events. Or at least you might think so. But like any multiverse adventure, there is a lot of setup to what’s going on, and the MCU has its own direction that looks nothing like the comics....

To say that Dwayne Johnson was bred for professional wrestling would be an understatement. This third-generation WWE Superstar not only embraces the spectacle that is sports entertainment, he embodies it. Since his Madison Square Garden WWE debut in 1996, this People’s Champion has proven his charisma. His ability to “get things over” is second to none and, thanks to The Rock, objects like elbows, pie, and even eyebrows have all been given the golden rub of the Great One....

Boomer lives! And so does Maron on IFC. The network announced today the renewal of the critically acclaimed comedy series Maron for a second season with 13 all new half-hour episodes, up from 10, scheduled to premiere in 2014. President and general manager of IFC Jennifer Caserta made this statement. Maron is an honest, comical look at the complicated man behind the “WTF” podcast, writer/comedian Marc Maron. The debut season followed his often misguided attempts to grow professionally as a comedian and emotionally with his estranged dad, Larry (Judd Hirsch) and unconventional new girlfriend, Jennifer (Nora Zehetner) while being aided by his clueless fan-boy assistant Kyle (Josh Brener)....

According to Variety, Imagine Entertainment is currently developing a TV version of Parenthood for NBC. A pilot was recently given the greenlight. Jason Katims will be writing the pilot. Parenthood will be an hourlong comedy-drama. It will have the tone of the movie but it will also have new characters. The show will also be made more modern. Katims will be executive producing along with Imagine’s Brian Grazer and Ron Howard....

Director James Mangold has teased the importance of Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s character Helena in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, describing her as the “catalyst” to the events of the sequel. Speaking with EW, Mangold revealed details of how Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will begin, with Helena bringing further adventure to Indy’s doorstep during his twilight years. Alongside unveiling a new image, Mangold went on to reveal his hopes that “Helena’s arrival will convert Dial of Destiny into a classic Indy adventure, one sheathed in the thematic elements of the ’60s....
