Posted on Saturday, October 13th, 2018 by Ben Pearson
Roger Ailes, the man responsible for turning Fox News into a media empire, died in 2017, and Hollywood wasted no time developing takes on his scandal-laden downfall. Annapurna Pictures recently parted ways with a star-studded movie on the subject, but today, Showtime's Roger Ailes TV show cast just grew by four members.
Sienna Miller (Layer Cake, Lost City of Z), Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, The Orville), Simon McBurney (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), and Annabelle Wallis (The Mummy, The Conjuring) have come on board, joining the previously-announced Russell Crowe, who is playing the role of Ailes, and Naomi Watts, who is playing anchor Gretchen Carlson. Find out who each of these actors will play in the upcoming series below. Read More »

'The Orville' Reviews: Seth MacFarlane's 'Star Trek'-Inspired Show Isn't a Comedy After All
Posted on Friday, September 8th, 2017 by Ben Pearson
With its Star Trek-inspired designs, constant quipping, and creator/star Seth MacFarlane dropping one-liners left and right throughout its trailers, it's no wonder we all thought Fox's new TV series The Orville was a sci-fi comedy. But reviews for the upcoming series are in, and they come with a warning: the show isn't a comedy, but an hour-long drama interspersed with moments of levity. Well, that's certainly unexpected. Let's see what the critics have to say in this roundup of The Orville reviews.
How Seth MacFarlane's 'The Orville' Will Blend Comedy With Serious Science Fiction [TCA 2017]
Posted on Wednesday, August 9th, 2017 by Fred Topel
If you've seen the TV spots for Seth MacFarlane's new Fox series The Orville, you might think it's another comedic romp from the creator of Family Guy and Ted. It is funny, but what the ads are not showing is that The Orville is an hour long spaceship drama that just happens to be populated with funny people (and aliens). On a Television Critics Association panel for The Orville, MacFarlane explained why The Orville needed to be more than a spoof of Star Trek and other sci-fi shows.
'Logan Lucky' Trailer: Channing Tatum & Adam Driver Are Redneck Robbers
Posted on Wednesday, June 28th, 2017 by Ethan Anderton
After planning three heists in Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen, the formerly retired Steven Soderbergh is back behind the camera for a new heist, and he's brought his Magic Mike star with him.
Logan Lucky follows Channing Tatum as Jimmy Logan, a thirtysomething man fired from his job, looking to turn the bad luck of the Logan family around once and for all by pulling off a heist at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. But he'll need the help of his reluctant, one-armed brother Clyde (Adam Driver) and an incarcerated robbery expert named Joe Bang (Daniel Craig) to help him out. It's the kind of comedic crime you'd expect from Steven Soderbergh, and a new trailer just arrived with a bunch of new footage.

'Logan Lucky' Trailer: Steven Soderbergh's Return to Filmmaking Looks Wonderful
Posted on Monday, May 29th, 2017 by Jack Giroux
Steven Soderbergh's "anti-glam Ocean's 11" looks, to put it simply, like a blast. Based on the first footage from Logan Lucky, which arrived over the weekend, Daniel Craig's performance alone as Joe Bang may be worth the price of admission. We haven't seen Craig quite like this before, and the same can be said for the rest of the stellar cast in Soderbergh's blessed return to filmmaking.
Below, watch the Logan Lucky trailer.
'The Orville' Trailer: Seth MacFarlane Heads to Space in 'Star Trek' Inspired Comedy Series
Posted on Monday, May 15th, 2017 by Ethan Anderton
Star Trek has been lampooned countless times, whether it's by Saturday Night Live, Futurama or the outstanding Galaxy Quest. Now it's getting an indirect kind of spoof, if you will, in the form of a new FOX TV series from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane.
The Orville is a new one-hour sci-fi comedy series set 400 years in the future that follows the adventures of the titular spaceship and its crew as they traverse the universe, dealing with the kind of workplace problems that come from having a crew composed of aliens and humans from different planets all aboard a single spaceship. FOX debuted The Orville trailer at their upfronts presentation today, and you can get a glimpse of the promising new show below. Read More »
'Carpool Karaoke' Trailer: James Corden's Popular Late Night Segment Goes Solo
Posted on Tuesday, February 14th, 2017 by Ethan Anderton
Even if you're not a regular viewer of The Late Late Show on CBS with host James Corden, there's a good chance you've heard of his popular, consistently viral segment known as Carpool Karaoke. In the recurring segment, James Corden hops in a car with a famous celebrity, usually a chart-topping singer but sometimes just another figure in pop culture, and they cruise around Los Angeles jamming out to an assortment of songs in the car, just like you and me. This year, that segment gets its own series.
Carpool Karaoke: The Series will be the first programming endeavor for Apple as they start to expand into original programming. Last night the first trailer debuted in front of the perfect audience during the Grammys, which were hosted by James Corden, and featured a few of the famous faces that he's shared a ride with before. The trailer shows that Corden won't be hosting every episode, but there's quite a cavalcade of talent from across the board to make up for it.
