Image
This year’s Emmy ceremony was filled with dozens of amazing moments, but absolute domination of  The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel  was the one that took everyone by surprise. Amazon’s series about a 1950s housewife who turns to stand-up comedy took home five shinny statues, including the Emmy for best comedy series. Game of Thrones scored big win in the best drama category, for the third time in the past four years. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel  came out victorious in almost all of the categories it was nominated in last night. Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein picked up awards for best lead and supporting actress in a comedy series. Showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino received Emmys for both directing and writing the pilot of this hilarious period piece. The masterminds behind  The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story  also had a reason to celebrate. This limited series collected three awards, including best limited series, best lead actor (Darr...

ISLA FISHER JOINS SATIRICAL BRITISH COMEDY “GREED”

Image
Isla Fisher starred alongside many comedy legends in the past, but she’s taking things to a new level in  Greed . The star of  Wedding Crashers just joined this promising project, which features a couple of equally hilarious cast members. Greed  was described as a satirical take on the world of the super-rich, focusing on a ruthless, perma-tanned and self-absorbed retail clothing billionaire. Steve Coogan will play this immoral businessman, who’s hired a mild-mannered journalist to chronicle his life story. Greed  also stars David Mitchell ( Peep Show ) and Sacha Baron Cohen ( Borat ). Isla Fisher will join them in the role of billionaire’s wife. She’s the only person who truly understands him and all his complexities. Fisher’s recent credits include cult sitcom  Arrested Development  and buddy comedy  Tag . This British comedy will start shooting later this year in Europe. BAFTA winner and Coogan’s frequent collaborator Michael Winterbottom...

ZACHARY QUINTO LANDS LEAD ROLE IN HORROR SERIES “NOS4A2”

Image
Zachary Quinto played a couple of scary characters in his day, but he’s just started preparing for his creepiest role to date. The  Star Trek  actor has just been cast as the lead in AMC horror series  NOS4A2 . If you’re having a hard time decoding this weird series of letter and numbers, let’s just say Quinto’s new project is pronounced ‘Nosferatu’, but shares little connection with this cult horror film. NOS4A2 actually takes place in a magical place called Christmasland, where every day is Christmas and unhappiness is against the law. Sounds jolly until you find out this happy-go-lucky realm was created by Charlie Manx, a seductive immortal who feeds off the souls of children. The upcoming horror series is expected to premiere in 2019. It’s based on the novel of the same name by Joe Hill and it will be created by Jami O’Brien, who can’t wait to bring it to life on the small screen. His previous credits include  Fear the Walking Dead  and  Hell...

FIRST LOOK AT JOAQUIN PHOENIX IN STANDALONE JOKER MOVIE

Image
Standalone Joker movie is one of the most anticipated superhero flicks right now, and the director Todd Philips just added some fuel to the fire. He shared first photo of Joaquin Phoenix as popular super villain, before the madness kicked in. This sneak peek may come as a disappointment to some fan since it’s just Joaquin Phoenix being Joaquin Phoenix, but there’s so much more to it. It shows the Joker before undergoing his transformation to the white skin, green hair and ruby lips of Batman’s famed nemesis. This photo proves Philips and Phoenix will take a different approach to this character, and explore his human side. Caption on this photo simply read “Arthur”, confirming the real name of the Clown Prince of Crime. His green jacket is the only significant nod to Joker’s signature color palette, and a sign of monster lurking within. The upcoming standalone Joker movie was described as a cautionary tale of a man disregarded by society. It’s expected to hit the theate...

HENRY CAVILL IS READY TO HANG UP HIS SUPERMAN CAPE

Image
Henry Cavill became a household name thanks to the role of Superman, but his tenure as the Man of Steel is coming to an end. The British actor is ready to hang up his cape and wave goodbye to the character that made him famous. Cavill made his debut as Clark Kent in  Man of Steel  and reprised the role in  Batman v. Superman  and  Justice League . His contract was coming to a closure, and his future in the DC Universe became uncertain after it became clear the studio isn’t planning to make a stand-alone  Superman  movie any time soon. Contract negotiations led to Cavill’s departure from the struggling superhero franchise, and he’s not the only one jumping ship. Ben Affleck is another hero on his way out, and it’s highly unlikely he’ll reprise his role in the upcoming  Batman  stand-alone film. Rumors started flying around all over the place after Cavill’s departure made headlines. Insiders are saying the studio is trying to shi...
