It’s nearly 15 years to the day that Firefly was canceled back in 2003. How fitting, then, that as we approach that most traumatic of anniversaries, we can share with you the following news: Joss Whedon is making a new science fiction drama, and it’s going to be on HBO.
We don’t know about you, but today we feel a little more ready for Trailer Happy Hour than we normally do. It’s a good day to just pour a big glass of trailers, chug ‘em all down, and then quietly contemplate the movies and TV shows that we’ll be seeing in the future. Today we’ve got a teaser for the next season of …
As HBO’s new telecommunications overlords figure out how to mess with a good thing, the premium-cable network is over here conducting the kind of business that earned it the reputation that got AT&T’s attention in the first place.
AT&T recently purchased Time Warner for $85.4 billion, which means the conglomerate that can’t seem to use its vast resources to beam a reliable signal to your smartphone is now also in charge of a storied movie studio, the Justice League, and the TV destination where millions of Americans wind down their weekends…
The Game Of Thrones producers have been going to extreme lengths to keep the secrets of their eighth and final season securely under wraps. Pretty much all we know is that the final six episodes will be very bloody and very expensive, which, frankly, could be said about every season up to this point. This lack of…
Westworld got stuck dragging its boots a bit in season two, an unfortunate side-effect of the twisting timelines and various different factions that are all trying to get to the same place, but things did start to move at a decent clip once it got to the finale—to the extent that the post-credits stinger apparently…
Game Of Thrones’ eighth and final season is due out some time next year, which means the most ruthless game of musical chairs ever is coming to an end. With HBO deploying Mission: Impossible-style methods to prevent any spoilers, we don’t have much insight into the new season, beyond the fact that the final six …
Now that their Halloween reboot is in the can, Danny McBride and David Gordon Green have reached down deep into their big bag of comedic Southern archetypes and pulled out a new show. As Variety reports, the duo (and their frequent collaborator, Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals creator Jody Hill) have set a new…
Westworld’s second season one-upped its predecessor by introducing not just new parks, but confusing, abstract manifestations like The Cradle, The Forge, and The Valley Beyond. Still, despite all the rips in reality, there was some neat stuff to grab onto in the finale, like Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and Bernard’s…
It looks like Westworld hasn’t quite become the cultural phenomenon that HBO’s Game Of Thrones is, as Digital Spy is reporting that the ratings for the show’s recent season finale are down by 30 percent from the last season finale. The Wrap notes that the ratings for the finale are also down by 24 percent from the…
Sunday night was the season finale of Westworld—an episode whose plot points I will not be spoiling here, because to do so would suggest not only that I actually retained them, but that I had some understanding of their significance. I’ve watched two seasons of the HBO sci-fi drama now and, while I’m mildly conversant…
Welcome to Development Hell, the fiery pit into which we fling recent developments in casting, distribution, and everything else that’s new and mildly interesting in the Boschian phantasmagoria of the entertainment industry.
On a recent episode of his HBO series Last Week Tonight, John Oliver decided to stop talking about America for a bit and focus on what’s been going on in China instead. For 20 minutes, Oliver detailed the great economic growth that the country is enjoying as well as the rise of lovable president/possible…
Just last month, Game Of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke claimed she didn’t know anything about what was going to happen in the show’s series finale, but Nikolaj Coster-Waldau at least seems to have a much better idea of what’s going on. Speaking with Variety, he said that showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff “couldn’t…
Justice League didn’t murder its box office competitors with a precision blast of heat vision, as DC and Warner Bros. surely hoped it would, but everyone who passed on its theatrical run will soon get a chance to see some of the biggest superheroes in the world joining forces—assuming they have an HBO Go or HBO Now…
The producers of Game Of Thrones are going to some pretty extreme lengths to protect the secrets of their final season. According to the New York Post, actors on the show have only been given special digital copies of the shooting scripts that will “disappear” immediately after filming. Where previously a watermarked…
HBO has been very secretive about its Watchmen TV adaptation/sequel thing, with Damon Lindelof noting in a very lengthy Instagram post that it will be more of a “remixed” take than anything else, but some set photos obtained by /Film seem to have revealed a whole lot about the project. Like, so much so that it might…
On Friday, HBO gave a pilot order to one of its five Game Of Thrones spin-off projects, specifically one coming from George R.R. Martin and writer Jane Goldman that’s set thousands of years before the events of the show. Today, Martin has been teasing the project a bit on his website, confirming some details and…
The past year for Walton Goggins has been a busy one. He’s popped up as the villainous Vogel in the rebooted Tomb Raider film, took a role in the upcoming Ant Man And The Wasp, and wrapped up the tragically short-lived HBO comedy Vice Principals. We sat down with Goggins recently to talk about his career, Vice…
