MONDAY, APRIL 29
STAR WARS: EPISODE VII---when Carrie Fisher was asked if she really is appearing in the movie, she replied, “I like being bought by Disney, because they never wanted to buy me before. I’m glad they are doing a new movie because they are sending a trainer to my house so I can get in really good shape. So I’m really eating a lot of sugar in advance, as you can see. By the time I really get down to it I will have eaten everything.”
TRANSFORMERS 4---Michael Bay commented on the status of the reboot movies beginning with a clarification of reports of alien TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, "There was that quote saying that we’re making [the Ninja Turtles as] aliens. We're not. It’s the ooze! It’s from the original source material. These are from the original writers, and I never went out to correct myself in the press. I do listen to the fans and I do want this to be authentic...When I see the digital stuff, the turtles look great." On TRANSFORMERS 4, he said, "I would do my designs of the robots and they’re like, 'What if you just add a little bit more ears to Optimus?' But they’re really hands off. We’ve redesigned them in 'Transformers 4,' and there’s some really cool s-t in it. I’m literally redesigning every character, top to bottom..."
AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.---a reported explanation was given for Agent Coulson's return in the tv series after being killed off in THE AVENGERS, "In the pilot, it’s revealed Nick Fury faked Agent Coulson’s death on purpose to motivate The Avengers. Some S.H.I.E.L.D. members were in on it, but The Avengers were not. Their security clearance wasn’t high enough. Coulson was forced to hold his breath as part of the ruse and that’s a point of contention among his colleagues. After the fact, Fury moved him to a remote location until things died down, and then he was reinserted into duty at the time of the show."
11/22/63---miniseries or tv series underway by Bad Robot Productions and Warner Bros. based on the Stephen King novel about a teacher who enters a time portal back to 1958 to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963.
NBC---renewed GRIMM, CHICAGO FIRE, PARENTHOOD, LAW & ORDER: SVU and REVOLUTION. Rockne S. O'Bannon (FARSCAPE, DEFIANCE) joins REVOLUTION as executive producer. CBS renewed TWO AND A HALF MEN with Angus T. Jones reportedly in negotiations to return in a recurring role.
STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION---the Blu-ray edition of Season 4 will be done by Modern Video which also did the Blu-ray editions of THE WALKING DEAD and SONS OF ANARCHY. Modern Video replaces HTV after its disappointing Blu-ray edition of Season 2. CBS Digital, which did Season 1 and 2, will assist Modern Video, "[CBS Digital is] remaining close at hand to help Modern reach a more balanced and consistent look." This includes CBS-Digital's Max Gabl to help in all the planetary shots from Season 4.
THE WALKING DEAD---Larry Gilliard (THE WIRE) joins the cast as ex-Army medic Bob Stookey.
EVE---tv series underway based on the sci fi video game from director Baltasar Kormakur (CONTRABAND). The tv series is described as, "an original concept set 20,000 in the future within the interstellar EVE Online universe in which rival societies are trapped in the same space by a collapsed wormhole and characters from five warring factions battle it out in space ships."
WAREHOUSE 13---a website, RenewWareHouse13.com, was set up by fans to lobby Syfy and ensure the series is renewed.
SECRET SERVICE---Colin Firth is in talks to co-star with Vince Vaughn in this comedy movie about a veteran spy and his protege who investigate a murder and a secret involving Mount Everest.
INTO THE WOODS---Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep are in talks to star in the Disney movie based on the Broadway play.
DEEP WATER---Adrian Lyne (FATAL ATTRACTION, FLASHDANCE) will direct this movie about a young married couple who play mind games with each other which leads to the deaths of people around them.
BRIDGET JONES' BABY---Colin Firth commented on the sequel's status, "I wouldn't say that it's completely dead in the water, but the way it's going you might be seeing Bridget Jones' granddaughter's story being told by the time we get there."
