Disney Channel’s unveiled the first super short (40 seconds overall, but more like 29 seconds of actual content) teaser for the appropriately titled, Descendants 3. The teaser catches up with a few of the familiar players including, albeit very briefly, Beast. The third film of the popular Disney Channel Original Movie franchise also now has an official, updated synopsis.
Returning to the franchise for the third outing are Dove Cameron as Mal, Cameron Boyce as Carlos, Sofia Carson as Evie, Booboo Stewart as Jay, Mitchell Hope as King Ben, and China Anne McClain as Uma. The cast also includes Cheyenne Jackson as Hades, Anna Cathcart as Dizzy, Brenna D’Amico as Jane, Christian Convery as Squeaky, Dylan Playfair as Gil, and Jadah Marie as Celia.
Director Kenny Ortega (Descendants, Disney’s High School Musical films) returned as director, executive producer, and choreographer. The behind the scenes team for Descendants 3 includes writers Sara Parriott and Josann McGibbon (The Starter Wife, Descendants, Descendants 2). Parriott and McGibbon also serve as executive producers. Kara Saun (Descendants, Descendants 2, Project Runway) returns as the costume designer, Mark Hofeling is back as production designer, and Descendants 2‘s Shawn Williamson is a producer.
The Plot:
This highly anticipated trequel continues the contemporary saga of good versus evil as the teenage daughters and sons of Disney’s most infamous villains (also known as the villain kids or VKs) — Mal (Cameron), Evie (Carson), Carlos (Boyce) and Jay (Stewart) — return to the Isle of the Lost to recruit a new batch of villainous offspring to join them at Auradon Prep. When a barrier breach jeopardizes the safety of Auradon during their departure off the Isle, Mal resolves to permanently close the barrier, fearing that nemeses Uma (McClain) and Hades (Jackson) will wreak vengeance on the kingdom. Despite her decision, an unfathomable dark force threatens the people of Auradon, and it’s up to Mal and the VKs to save everyone in their most epic battle yet.
A Look Back at Descendants 2: In Descendants 2, the story deepens as the Villain Kids (AKA “VKs”) – Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay – continue to try to find their place in idyllic Auradon. When the pressure to be royal becomes too much for Mal, she returns to her rotten roots on the Isle of the Lost where her archenemy Uma, the daughter of Ursula, has taken her spot as self-proclaimed queen of the run-down town. Uma, still resentful over not being selected by Ben to go to Auradon Prep with the other Villain Kids, stirs her pirate gang including Captain Hook’s son Harry and Gaston’s son Gil, to break the barrier between the Isle of the Lost and Auradon, and unleash all the villains imprisoned on the Isle, once and for all.

There is only one Olivia Newton-John, but she’s not going to play herself in the Lifetime biopic Olivia Newton-John: Hopelessly Devoted to You. So Delta Goodrem did a great job capturing Newton-John’s essence and recreating famous scenes from her career.
The Lifetime film covers hits like “Grease” and “Let’s Get Physical,” and notables like “Xanadu.” Goodrem spoke to Showbiz Junkies in L.A. last month. Olivia Newton-John: Hopelessly Devoted to You premieres on Saturday, February 16, 2019 at 8pm ET/PT on Lifetime.
How long did you have to film You’re The One That I Want?
Delta Goodrem: “Actually, we had a whole day at a place called Luna Park in Melbourne. The gentleman who plays Lee Kramer, Todd Lascance, was wonderful. Then you had George who played John Travolta, Allan Carr being the director. It felt like we were transported in time and it felt like something very special to recreate. No matter what, just the fact that I got to go to work and do that, it felt like a full circle. It felt like the five-year-old within me was really, really happy.”
They did a good job making it look just like the carnival.
Delta Goodrem: “Yeah, they did. They really did. Actually, the costumes and wardrobe and hair and makeup and the way that they would set up every era, especially in Grease, we were like, ‘Wow.'”
How about doing the “Hopelessly Devoted To You” scene?
Delta Goodrem: “Oh, I actually asked them could we do another take just to keep singing. ‘Hopelessly Devoted to You’ and ‘I Honestly Love You’ is one of the first songs I ever sung in my life in front of people. So sitting on the stairs and giving it your absolute all and singing from a place of remembering what inspired you was great. Actually, the whole crew were really invested when we were doing it. Everybody was clapping after every take and we’d get involved and sing it. It was great fun.”
Did you get to do the best scenes from Xanadu?
Delta Goodrem: “Yes, I did. (Singing) ‘A place…’ when we’re walking through in that moment, that’s what I think of. I think of the roller skating, obviously. We start the episode too with roller skating. I wasn’t naturally a good roller skater, I can tell you that. So it took a lot of rehearsing.”
They’re good songs, whatever you think of the movie.
Delta Goodrem: “Yeah, the songs have defined many generations in a sense. The Grease soundtrack was 40 years last year. They have lived on timelessly and continue to spark so much joy and love when people get in a room and start singing all those songs or watching Grease. It leaves a timeless tale.”
Even the Xanadu music.
Delta Goodrem: “I mean, John Farrar doing those songs. The eccentric quirky nature of doing those chord changed, that was, to me, the story of John Farrar himself, like seeing him be a part of Olivia’s life as a friend and then collaborating, that’s magic. That’s real magic.”
What was it like to get in the “Physical” outfit and be on the set of that video?
Delta Goodrem: “That was the first day of filming was ‘Physical.’ When we got in our leotards and everyone was wearing the bands, so every single crew member, when we did Grease at the fair, they all wore the T-Birds jackets. They all wore the headbands so everybody was dressed up and we cranked the music loud. Because I got to sing the whole soundtrack, it did feel like then it got to go into my body even more and I could feel her spirit with me, which was fun.”

Have you gotten involved in Olivia’s cancer organizations too?
Delta Goodrem: “Before I did the film I was involved. Olivia and I did a beautiful song that we wrote together in Byron Bay. One of the ways Olivia and I connected was when I was diagnosed with cancer, she reached out and sent me a beautiful letter about being a survivor and being a thriver. So I think that that bonded us very early on. And then we wrote a song for her album which went to charity when she was doing the great walk. And then sang the song when they were doing the walk. It was, ‘Don’t give up, here I am.’ ‘I’ll Be Right Here With You’ is what it’s called. So we wrote that. Then we’ve been involved in lots of things together like that.”
How about the scenes where you had to explain cancer to a little girl. Were those tough?
Delta Goodrem: “Yeah, absolutely but what I learned was, I feel very thankful to continue to stand as a tower of strength hopefully to people who are in the fight. That’s what we have to remember is that people are going through this every single day. Everyone’s journey’s very different. I think opening that area within you was quite healing to put it to art and put it to another story that people can relate to and understand.”
Was it explained to the young actress what the scene was about?
Delta Goodrem: “I have to tell you, it was the cutest thing ever. She’s so beautiful and I worked with her on another TV show, actually. We had just done this TV show called Househusbands in Australia. She got the hiccups in that very serious scene. And the little munchkin was so cute and would just keep doing the scene. The beautiful director was like, ‘We can stop for the scene.’ She’s like, ‘No, no, no, it’s okay. I want to keep going.’ That’s all I remember when we were doing that scene. It was like she had such a good work ethic even at a young age. She was like, ‘No, keep going.’ She was, again, having that relationship where she’s a very professional young thing. We would talk about it and she was great.”

Seth Rogen plays a journalist who runs into his former babysitter (Charlize Theron), now the Secretary of State who’s running for president, in the comedy, Long Shot.

In addition to Oscar winner Charlize Theron (Monster) and Seth Rogen (Neighbors), the cast includes O’Shea Jackson Jr, Andy Serkis, June Diane Raphael, Bob Odenkirk, and Alexander Skarsgard.
Rogen reunites with the director of 50/50 and The Night Before, Jonathan Levine, for the 2019 comedy from writers Dan Sterling and Liz Hannah. And, Rogen and Theron served as produces along with A.J. Dix, Beth Kono, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver.

The Plot:
Fred Flarsky (Rogen) is a gifted and free-spirited journalist with an affinity for trouble. Charlotte Field (Theron) is one of the most influential women in the world. Smart, sophisticated, and accomplished, she’s a powerhouse diplomat with a talent for…well, mostly everything. The two have nothing in common, except that she was his babysitter and childhood crush. When Fred unexpectedly reconnects with Charlotte, he charms her with his self-deprecating humor and his memories of her youthful idealism. As she prepares to make a run for the Presidency, Charlotte impulsively hires Fred as her speechwriter, much to the dismay of her trusted advisors.
A fish out of water on Charlotte’s elite team, Fred is unprepared for her glamorous lifestyle in the limelight. However, sparks fly as their unmistakable chemistry leads to a round-the-world romance and a series of unexpected and dangerous incidents.
Fox’s Gotham season five episode six had so many twists it was difficult to keep track of them all. Among the key events that went down in the pivotal episode were the pairing of Selina and Oswald, the return of Lee, the fact Lee also had a chip in her head which caused her to want to kill Jim Gordon, Ed Nygma pretending his chip was still working when it wasn’t, and the revelation that Barbara is pregnant! She broke the news about her impending bundle of joy while Jim and Lee were busy playing catch-up.
Jerome is, obviously, still alive and he’s captured Alfred. Plus, the episode saw the origin story of Bane play out after Eduardo Dorrance barely survived a fight with his former friend, Jim.
Up next, season five episode seven titled “Ace Chemicals.” Episode seven will air on Thursday, February 21, 2019 at 8pm ET/PT.

A very much alive Jeremiah (guest star Cameron Monaghan) returns and organizes a twisted recreation of the murder of Bruce’s parents with the help of Jervis Tetch aka Mad Hatter (guest star Benedict Samuel) in the all-new “Ace Chemicals” episode.
“Gotham is an origin story of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. From executive producer and writer Bruno Heller and executive producers Danny Cannon and John Stephens, Gotham follows the rise of Det. James Gordon (McKenzie) through a dangerously corrupt city teetering between good and evil, and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time.”

Top competitors in each of the city finals rounds move onto the national finals, where they compete on a four-stage course that includes multiple obstacles on each stage. The winner, who must complete all four stages, including the final 75-foot rope climb, will take home a grand prize of $1 million.
In addition, the ninja to go the farthest on the national finals course wins $100,000. Last season’s inaugural ‘last ninja standing’ was American Ninja Warrior veteran Drew Drechsel. Drechsel has competed on eight seasons of the show to date and recently served as the captain for Team USA on the show’s annual ‘USA Vs. the World’ telecast.
Last season, American Ninja Warrior introduced several new twists, including lowering the competitors’ age limit to 19, which ushered in a new generation of strong, swift ninjas, and the fan-favorite 18-foot mega-warped wall, which offered competitors a chance to instantly win $10,000.
This season will bring some new, significant changes to the course and the game play, including new rules for the mega-warped wall and never-before-seen obstacles.”
Brendan Fraser in ‘Doom Patrol’ episode 1 (Photo by Quantrell D. Colbert / 2018 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc)
Brendan Fraser was the hero of lots of bit tentpole movies like The Mummy and Journey to the Center of the Earth. He played George of the Jungle and Dudley Do-Right but it took until 2019 for him to play a bona fide comic book superhero. And now it’s only his voice.
On Doom Patrol, Fraser plays the live-action Cliff Steele, a race car driver who “dies” in an automobile accident. His brain is placed in the mechanical body of Robotman, and Fraser provides the voice for that. Fraser was at TCA for Doom Patrol and Showbiz Junkies spoke with him. Doom Patrol premieres Friday, February 15, 2019 on DC Universe.
You’ve done so many movies with things that aren’t there, like The Mummy, Looney Tunes, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. That was sort of at the dawn of this CGI world. Did you sort of learn these skills on the ground floor as the industry was learning how to make the effects?
Brendan Fraser: “Jon Burton at ILM really had the wizard’s hat on back on ’97-98. He was bringing together the best of what was on offer in CGI, stepping up and saying, ‘We can do anything and you’ll believe it.’ The reality is yeah, this technology can keep reinventing itself as it does to the point where anything is possible, but none of it works unless whoever’s performing it believes in what they’re doing. So essentially it’s just committed acting is what it should come down to. Believe in the circumstances of the world or whatever the effect is, and then having a collaborative trust with a nameless, faceless CGI artist who can create the effects.”
I always thought you had a special skill at that which some other actors didn’t quite fully have.
Brendan Fraser: “Thank you. Imaginary friends.”
How does that come into play when you’re doing the voice-over for Cliff?
Brendan Fraser: “It’s all on the page. This story is unique. It’s absolutely chapter and page, the major beats of the Morrison comics from the early ‘90s, late ‘80s. So of the fans who we hope we make and who do know that source material, they should be pleased that we’re staying true to it.”
How long is Cliff going to put off looking for his now adult daughter?
Brendan Fraser: “I could tell you, but then I have to kill you.”
That’s the way I want to go, killed by Brendan Fraser.
Brendan Fraser: “Just keep watching.”
Television has offered you some diverse roles in The Affair, Trust and this. How has that been for you to embrace these eclectic roles?
Brendan Fraser: “Diversity has always been the touchstone for me, ever since I started to be involved and lucky enough to be a part of this industry. It’s important to try and reinvent yourself if you can. I like to stay challenged. I don’t know if this is television or that is either anymore, streaming.”
If you had to describe your career, how would you describe it?
Brendan Fraser: “Diversity. I’ve had a diverse career and the good fortune to be allowed to carry on, win, lose or draw.”
Is it really just good fortune?
Brendan Fraser: “Being prepared and in the right place at the right time helps too.”
Do you have a strategy?
Brendan Fraser: “Keep working.”
Do you take everything?
Brendan Fraser: “No, I want to be challenged and I want to stay in projects that essentially, like we all want, to see.”
What would your dream job be?
Brendan Fraser: “I’m pretty happy with this project right now. I’m certain that I’ll take a close look at whatever comes my way, whether it’s a streaming service, television, feature film, independent, or voice-over. I like to keep busy.”
What are you watching right now?
Brendan Fraser: “I have to think about this. I don’t watch much television, to tell you the truth.”
School Ties turned 25 just over a year ago. Have you thought about how relevant that still is?
Brendan Fraser: “It was relevant them. It was set in the ‘50s for a reason because it let people say, ‘Hey, that was then, not now.’ Let’s not forget that at the time it came out, Los Angeles was on fire after Rodney King. Really, how much have we learned since then?”
And the clique of privileged boys policing themselves.
Brendan Fraser: “It’s dangerous to be in a society of your peers. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies may have said that [too].”
The CW’s Legacies season one episode 10 found Lizzie using wishes granted by a genie to get rid of Hope. When that didn’t work – Hope was still brought to the school by Alaric after a search for new students – Lizzie got rid of the school. That turned out to be the worst possible thing she could have wished for. By the end of the episode, the school – with Hope – was back to where it had been prior to Lizzie’s little wish excursion. However, Lizzie apparently will have lingering affects from her encounter with the genie.
Up next, season one episode 11 titled “We’re Gonna Need a Spotlight.” Airing February 21, 2019, the episode was directed by Barbara Brown from a script by Thomas Brandon and Penny Cox.

Aria Shahghasemi is Landon Kirby and Peyton Alex Smith plays Rafael Waithe.
The “We’re Gonna Need A Spotlight” Plot – THE SALVATORE SCHOOL’S ANNUAL TALENT SHOW — When Alaric (Davis) decides to postpone the school’s annual talent show, Lizzie (Boyd) and Josie (Bryant) are determined to make sure the show goes on. Meanwhile, tensions arise when the students face a creature that lowers their inhibitions. Lastly, Alaric decides to play hooky with Emma (guest star Karan David).
The Season One Plot:
“For the last decade, the iconic heroes and villains of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals have captivated audiences worldwide. They left an enduring legacy of love and family in their wake, which continues in Legacies, a thrilling new drama that tells the story of the next generation of supernatural beings at The Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted. It’s here that Klaus Mikaelson’s daughter, 17-year-old Hope Mikaelson; Alaric Saltzman’s twins, Lizzie and Josie Saltzman ; and other young adults — including high-energy vampire MG, newly-triggered werewolf Rafael Waithe and the mysterious Landon Kirby — come of age in the most unconventional way possible, nurtured to be their best selves…in spite of their worst impulses.
Will these young witches, vampires and werewolves become the heroes they want to be — or the villains they were born to be? As they fight to protect their secret, their town of Mystic Falls and eventually the world, they will have to rely on ancient folklore and tales to learn how to battle their far-reaching enemies.”
