Prime Video got off to a fast start this summer with the release of The Boys season 3 on June 3. Now, as we enter the dog days, Prime Video is set to keep the warm weather good times rolling with a new twist on an old classic. That’s right, Amazon’s list of new releases for August 2022 is highlighted by some good old-fashioned baseball.
A League of Their Own, the TV adaptation of Penny Marshall’s 1992 movie, is set to premiere on Aug. 12. Like the movie before it, the series will dramatize the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League which saw women playing America’s pastime while the major leagues were on pause for World War II. Abbi Jacobson (Broad City) co-created the show and will star as catcher Carson Shaw.
Other Prime Video Originals of note this month include season 2 of British comedy The Outlaws on and the Ron Howard-directed Thirteen Lives,...

It's a beautiful day in Afghanistan. Overhead, the sun is shining, puffy clouds push through the sky ... and four RPGs are on their way, headed straight for a small group of soldiers. In our exclusive clip from Citizen Soldier, a documentary by David Salzberg and Christian Tureaud (The Hornet's Nest), the team has just been attacked, an attack that left a fellow soldier dead. An officer checks with his team members, to ensure they can deal with what they must do in order to survive. Here's the official synopsis: Citizen Soldier is a dramatic feature film, told from the point of view of a group of Soldiers in the Oklahoma Army National Guard's 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, known since World War II as...

Sony Pictures is planning to reboot its "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" franchise by starting afresh and skipping over the trilogy that made it famous.
"The Girl in the Spider's Web" will be a film adaptation of the fourth book in the Millennium series and the first famously not written by the late Stieg Larsson. David Lagercrantz penned the story in which hacker Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist find themselves at the center of a tangled web of spies, cybercriminals and corrupt governments.
The studio reportedly sees the film and book as an opportunity to start the franchise over with Steven Knight ("Burnt") in early talks to adapt the script. Actors Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig, along with director David Fincher, are Not expected back.
Scott Rudin, who produced the Fincher adaptation, is expected to return though and will produce alongside Amy Pascal and Elizabeth Cantillon.

This year's Best Original Song Oscar race hasn't really achieved much lift-off. Of course, the contenders have been obvious. "Lost Stars" from "Begin Again" may well be the best of them, though "Everything is Awesome" from "The Lego Movie" certainly has its punch-drunk fans. Elsewhere, though, there are a few popular artists in the mix. John Legend and Common put together a hell of a track for "Selma" called "Glory." Lana Del Rey is back in the mix with the title track from "Big Eyes." Coldplay even wants to, uh, play, with "Miracles" from "Unbroken." The Academy announced the list of 79 eligible contenders Friday afternoon, and many of them you've seen outlined clearly in our dedicated Contenders section for the category all season. Let's take a closer look… Animated players "The Book of Life" and "The Boxtrolls" each have a pair of ditties and "Big Hero 6" has one as well.
