Nowadays, it’s difficult to imagine anyone but Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Over the course of 17 years, the actor made the role his own, giving a legendary performance across numerous films in the X-Men franchise, which all culminated in James Mangold’s Logan earlier this year.
With the Aussie now hanging up those adamantium claws for good, the question on everyone’s minds is who’s going to portray Wolvie next? That’s something which won’t be answered for a long, long time, as Fox is nowhere near ready to recast, and that’s absolutely fine by us. But it’s interesting to note that Jackman wasn’t always the one set to play Weapon X, as another Aussie actor was considered before Hugh’s name came up.
That’d be Russell Crowe, who was eyed for Wolverine back when Bryan Singer’s X-Men was taking shape back in...

We've all heard the old phrase "For all the tea in China." Well, now we know what all the hubbub is about!
We get a hint of Delaney's endgame in Taboo Season 1 Episode 3, and it is an extreme bit of revenge on good ol' East India.
While it seems like a letdown that Delaney is just after a monopoly of the tea route to China (it couldn't be just about money, right?), it is really a super sized f*ck you to Strange and East India for whatever they did to him back in the day.
Dumbarton: So what do you want?
Delaney: Tea.
Dumbarton: Tea?
Delaney: You tell Carlsbad that I want tea.
Dumbarton: You know, Carlsbad said that Delaney might just be crazy enough to take us all on: The King, the Company, and the free 15. Maybe she was right.
Delaney: Well, you tell Carlsbad, from me, that...

What a smile! Kensington Palace just released a brand new photo of Prince George ahead of his second birthday, which goes down on Wednesday. Taken during sister Princess Charlotte's christening, the adorable tot is seen flashing a huge grin alongside his doting dad Prince William. "This photograph captures a very happy moment on what was a special day for The Duke and Duchess and their family," says a spokesman for Kensington Palace. "They are very pleased to share this picture as they celebrate Prince George's second birthday." Little George and his royal family will be celebrating his 2nd birthday on Wednesday, in a backyard bash at one of his family's (very large) country homes in Norfolk. Princess Kate, Prince William and Prince George's baby sister Princess Charlotte will be staying at their 10-bedroom Anmer Hall, which is located on Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham estate. We're sure Prince George's grandmother Carole Middleton...

There’s perhaps no other character study this mercilessly satirical, or this inclined to ride the bloody surface of an American symbol all the way to the end. Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) never lifts off the screen to be anything but a rampaging, lampooning, psychotic cartoon. He shivers at the sight of a watermark on Paul Allen’s business card, a phallic comparison; sexuality replaced by the scented highs of Bone and Silian Rail. Bateman never ceases to be a representation of the bottomless pit of American consumerism, and he embodies that as a mass murdering loon. It’s because of what he stands for that the film makes no efforts in humanizing him, because, well, what’s human about the shit that moves at the top of American capital?
But some viewers seem to misunderstand American Psycho’s final third, as a revelation that Bateman’s murders were pure fantasy.

In addition to the learning that the Presale Market is Alive and Well at Afm and observing 4 industry trends from Afm 2014, I gained some practical knowledge that all producers should know. While there’s plenty more you will need to know to attend your first Afm, here are some things that really popped out this year.
1. While more filmmakers are exhibiting at the show, Sales Agents are still important partners.
This year Afm opened lower cost booths on the third floor to producers to have a base of operations to plan from while selling their products. The price was 3900 and included 3 badges. It really wasn’t all that different than a three person team attending the market on full week badges. Many of these filmmakers also screened their projects on Monday, in hope of attaching a sales agent and Us Distributor.

Surprising, right? Everything you read is that presales are a dying business, but according to Jonathan Wolf, Afm’s Managing Director, about 60% of the business done at this year’s Afm was in presales. This means more than half a billion Usd in presales alone.
According to Mr. Wolf, the market for foreign presales came back by 2010 or 2011. The biggest reason for the initial decline was the glut of equity financing that entered during the economic boom that preceded the 2008 recession.
Presale financing has an enhanced degree of risk, and the biggest reason most buyers take the risk is the fact that they can get the content they need for their distribution platforms need and they can be assured that they’re content pipeline has what they need it to be.
However given how many films were being made, the price for finished films began to drop due to increased competition in the marketplace.

"Into the woods without delay, but careful not to lose the way..." Following the debut of yesterday's motion posters, Disney has released the full theatrical trailer for Into the Woods, and much like the featurette that popped up recently, this one finally reveals that the film is a straight-up musical. In addition to hearing the ensemble title song, we also get to see a better look at Johnny Depp as The Wolf, and it appears at first he's known as Mr. Wolf and then turns into a real wolf of sorts, so maybe he won't always look like a douchebag in the movie. If you don't dig classic musicals, this probably won't be for you, but it looks decent. Here's the full trailer for Rob Marshall's musical Into the Woods, straight from Disney: If you haven't yet, watch the teaser trailer for Disney's musical Into the Woods right here.

When we first met Abraham Woodhull, the saddest cabbage farmer in all of 1776 Long Island, earlier this year, he was suffering through the psychological discomfort of sitting on the political fence while his childhood friends took up arms for the patriot cause against the garrison of British soldiers in his hometown of Setauket. Ben Talmadge was a Connecticut Dragoon officer. Caleb Brewster had gone underground to disrupt British operations. And Anna Strong, the woman Abe gave up to marry his dead brother’s fiancée, was likely spitting in the redcoats’ whiskey as she served them at her husband’s pub.

Pulp Fiction has become so canonized as a modern classic, it's easy to forget how transgressive it was on its release twenty years ago. But when Quentin Tarantino's film debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1994, it thrilled and shocked the audience in equal measures.

No scene upended more expectations than the pawn shop sequence (Spoiler Alert — if you haven't ever seen the movie, this is the moment when you should stop reading and go do that. Really! It's streaming on Netflix!

Ncm Fathom Events, Mr. Wolf, Arts Alliance Media and the Royal Opera House invite you to journey to an enchanted world of princesses, fairy godmothers and magic spells with the captivating Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty as it comes to the big screen in a special one-night event on Thursday, March 20 at 7:00pm (local time) to select cinemas nationwide.
Don’t miss Marius Petipa’s enchanting ballet as a wicked fairy places a fatal curse on the baby Princess Aurora, which the good Lilac Fairy softens to a sleep of 100 years and only a prince’s kiss can break the spell.
Like Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty is instantly recognizable to those unfamiliar with ballet. The princess will be played by American Sarah Lamb who danced in The Royal Ballet’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in November of 2013.

Ncm Fathom Events, Mr. Wolf, Arts Alliance Media and the Royal Opera House invite you to experience the timeless tale of good and evil with Tchaikvosky’s Swan Lake when it comes to the big screen in a special one-night event on Thursday, February 20 at 7:00pm (local time) to select cinemas nationwide.
Swan Lake was Tchaikovsky’s first score for ballet. The twinned role of the pure White Swan and the scheming, duplicitous Black Swan, performed by Principal Dancer Zenaida Yanowsky, tests the full range of a ballerina’s powers. Other highlights include American Nehemiah Kish dancing the role of Prince Siegfried as well as the charming Dance of the Little Swans performed by a moonlit lake and sweeping ballroom waltzes in the splendor of the royal palace.
Anthony Dowell’s romantic interpretation returns the ballet to its 1895 origins by using the choreography of Lev Ivanov and Marius Petipa.

“Suburgatory” boss Emily Kapnek addressed cost-cutting changes that helped her show nab a Season 3 renewal during its session at the Television Critics Association press tour on Friday. “Obviously, we scaled back a little. The show’s a bit leaner up here,” creator Emily Kapnek told the group about the ABC show. The show, produced by Warner Bros. Television, had to let go of series regulars Alan Tudyk, who played Noah Werner, George Altman’s (Jeremy Sisto) best friend; and Rex Lee, who played the Chatswin High School’s guidance counselor, Mr. Wolf, among other cost cuts.

A review of last night's "Suburgatory" coming up just as soon as I start shopping in the craft store of my mind... I often have mixed feelings about the cartoonishness of Chatswin and its citizens, but Halloween is a time of year where it feels right for everyone's behavior to be slightly askew, whether it's a lynch mob (including Mr. Wolf, excited to be on the other side of such a gathering) gathering to attack one of the town's few feminists (played in amusingly low-key fashion by Rachel Dratch) or the country club staff treating Noah-as-George like a homeless person who...

For the last seven years, Rex Lee has been best known as Ari Gold's long-suffering assistant, Lloyd (best said with a bellow) on Entourage. But thanks to ABC's sublime Suburgatory, fans are continuing their love affair with the funnyman -- and learning he's not just a one-trick pony!
I caught up with Rex in advance of tonight's Mr. Wolf-centric episode to find out why this role worried him and what he's hoping to do in (fingers crossed!) season two!

He recently spoke to AfterElton.com about what a life-changing experience it all was: “In Hollywood vernacular I was what they call a ‘nobody’, and all of a sudden I was somebody that people knew. …One day nobody knew who I was, and the next day I was at Outfest… and all of a sudden I heard people talking behind me like, ‘that’s the guy from Entourage, I just saw him on TV the other day!’ And as quickly as that, my life was completely different.”

Rex Lee is having hair problems.
“All my friends asked me, ‘why did they put you in such a bad wig?’” said the actor, recounting the time he and his pals settled in to watch the pilot of his new ABC comedy series Suburgatory. “And that was my real hair. For whatever reason, my hair person and I decided that I was gonna have what at the time you would’ve called ‘Justin Bieber hair’. But apparently on camera it looks like I’m wearing a bad wig. So I bring shame to gays everywhere, apparently.”

Which, of course, isn’t true. Starring as Lloyd, the long-suffering assistant of Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) on the hit HBO series Entourage for seven seasons, Lee became a welcome anomaly in the TV landscape –a gay Asian-American actor, playing a gay Asian-American character in a major role.

Fresh off his co-starring turn on HBO's Entourage as Ari Gold's long-suffering assistant Lloyd, Rex Lee has joined the cast of ABC's new single-camera comedy series Suburgatory as a regular. Suburgatory centers on Tessa (Jane Levy), a teen girl whose quality of life takes a nosedive when her family moves from the big city to the suburbs. Lee, repped by Apa and Thruline, will play Mr. Wolf, Tessa's high school guidance counselor who is inviting and slightly clueless to the bitchiness and the back-stabbing within the student hierarchy. He was a guest star in the pilot and is now being added to the series as a regular. Entourage kicked off its final season last night.

Mr. Wolf, when the season started you had talked about the way of getting both Alfred Molina and Terrence Howard on the show was to use them only every other week. Now that that’s going to no longer be the case, can you just talk about logistically how things are working out?

A laugh track would have been useful for much of Little Fockers, the latest in the Meet the Parents Saga. At the helm for this outing is Paul Weitz who has made several sharper comedies including About a Boy, In Good Company and American Dreamz. Here there is no parody, no targets; the character driven humor that comes out of revaluations has been sucked dry. When a network sitcom isn’t working the last ditch effort to save it is to bring in kids (check) and bring in guest stars (added to the cast are underused stars Jessica Alba, Owen Wilson, Harvey Keitel, and Laura Dern). Unnecessary is a kind word to describe a sitcom with lots of boring “situation” and little comedy.
Simple is the setup: former CIA agent Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) perhaps influenced by the Bush administration grows weary of his “legacy” and the “Byrnes name” – after his other son-in-law,...

The ex-wife of "Law & Order" creator Dick Wolf alleges her business manager and accountant cheated her out of hundreds of millions of dollars in her divorce settlement, according to court papers filed in L.A. Friday.
Christine Wolf accuses Loring Ward International of "negligently and/or purposefully" concealing "substantial assets" of her joint marital estate "prior to the commencement of and during marital property settlement proceedings," according to the court papers (via the New York Post).
Christine alleges the company -- who also managed the assets of her ex husband -- made the move "all for the benefit of Mr. Wolf in order to protect their interests in continuing to manage his assets."
She says her advisers never told her the company she once shared with her husband would continue to earn royalties and merchandising money for "Law & Order" and its spinoffs. She also says the the company grossly undervalued...

So there I was, curled on the couch, holding my knees to my chest. I hadn't breathed in what seemed like forever.
In front of me, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) was doing something I'd known was coming for a long time, but I didn't want to see happen. A CD was in his lap and he began tapping the blue meth onto it before rolling a used dollar bill. "Don't do it," I muttered. "Walt...save him."
My exhortations had about the same impact on the events unfolding as they did when I screamed at referees to change a bad call during a Lakers game.
