The actor plays legendary Detective Clay Bryce who is trying to apprehend Mike Ferro, played by Boyd Holbrook. Stephen Hopkins, who previously worked with Sutherland on 24 is a producer on the project and will also serve as an executive producer. From the looks of things, Sutherland is going back to his action roots. The 1993 movie is based on a TV series from the 1960s, so everything is coming back full circle....

There have really been some fantastic films arriving from “down under” lately. Last spring I really enjoyed “The Square,” which was written by actor Joel Edgerton and directed by his brother Nash. Then late this summer “Animal Kingdom” was released, which played like an Australian version of “Goodfellas” and also starred Joel Edgerton. The latest Australian import is maybe the best of the bunch, and does not star Joel Edgerton, but does feature a moving and fully formed performance from “True Blood” actor Ryan Kwanten....

Last week, the news broke that the Rivers of London series of urban fantasy novels are to be adapted into a television series. This follows a 2013 attempt to adapt the series by Feel Films, which fell through, and a 2019 project helmed by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s Stolen Picture production company that also failed to see the light of day. Now, a three-way partnership between Pure Fiction, See-Saw Films (State of the Union, The King’s Speech), and Unnecessary Logo has been announced....

Ben Silverman and Marc Graboff, Co-Chairmen of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, recently discussed the upcoming season on NBC. Ben Silverman: On Monday night we are going to launch what we hope to be one of the strongest nights of television of any network, leading off at 8 o’clock with Chuck, going into our hit Heroes, followed by Journeyman. We think this is an incredible night of television. All of these shows have male/female demographic interest and balance, and they also have an element of fantasy which, we think, runs through them and our strongest promotional platform in Sunday Night Football to drive viewers and audience into this great lineup of shows between our “Journeyman, Chuck, and our Heroes....

The Good This film makes Y Tu Mama Tambien look like an After School Special. The Bad Palm Pictures sadly did not include a DVD with any Special Features. I didn’t really care about Lower City until I found out that Alice Braga was in it. Remembering her as the “groovy” girl in City of God, I figured any film with her is certainly worth watching. Now, you might think I am talking about the fact that she spends about 50% of her time on screen in the nude....

Director Zack Snyder has moved production on his Superman reboot Man of Steel from the great state of Illinois to the more affordable cold weather plateau of Vancouver, where star Henry Cavill was spotted sporting a full beard, which is rather uncharacteristic for mild mannered Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent and his Kryptonian alter-ego. The last time he looked this scraggly was in Superman III, when Clark gives up his super powers to be with human love interest Lois Lane....

We can count on Mark Ruffalo to be there as Bruce Banner for as long as the character is around in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Edward Norton originally played the green-hued superhero in The Incredible Hulk, the role was recast with Ruffalo making subsequent appearances in the MCU, starting with 2012’s The Avengers. He still appears in Marvel movies, which includes a cameo in last year’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and Ruffalo’s Hulk can currently be seen in the new Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law....

Mary McDonnell joined the cast of the final season, to set up this new series as Captain Sharon Rayder, who has a much different approach to her department than Kyra Sedgwick’s Brenda Johnson....

Fans of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower have sought a faithful adaptation of the horror author’s magnum opus for decades. While Ron Howard originally pitched an adaptation that would have spanned movies and interconnecting TV shows, it ended up being released as a single, relatively short movie that barely touched the sides of King’s story. One person who would love to bring The Dark Tower to screens as a linear and faithful adaptation is someone who is no stranger to working with the horror master’s stories — Mike Flanagan....
