The Upside turned in an impressive first weekend in theaters, posting domestic box office numbers above what the studio expected. The comedy’s an English language remake of the French film, Intouchables, which was nominated for a Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice Award, and BAFTA Award as best foreign film. The original starred François Cluzet and Omar Sy, and the remake has Bryan Cranston taking on Cluzet’s role and Kevin Hart in Sy’s role.
The Upside forced Aquaman to vacate the top spot at the box office, but you won’t find Warner Bros complaining about losing the #1 position. Aquaman‘s had an incredible run thus far, topping the $1 billion mark after just four weeks in release. Aquaman starring Jason Momoa and Amber Heard is now the biggest grossing film worldwide of the DC Extended Universe. At $873 million, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice is a distant second.
The weekend also saw the release of Replicas and A Dog’s Journey Home. Keanu Reeves led the cast of Replicas which tanked at the box office and was mauled by critics. (It’s sitting at just 11% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.) Those who did fork over money to watch the PG-13 thriller gave it a C score, according to Cinemascore. A Dog’s Journey Home fared much better, ringing up $11 million and earning an A- Cinemascore.
The Upside is a heartfelt comedy about a recently paroled ex-convict (Kevin Hart) who strikes up an unusual and unlikely friendship with a paralyzed billionaire (Bryan Cranston). The cast also includes Nicole Kidman, Julianna Margulies and Aja Naomi King.
Showtime’s unveiled the official trailer for season four of the critically acclaimed drama, Billions. Season three ended with Wendy Rhoades (Maggie Siff) arranging for a truce between her husband, Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti), and her boss, Bobby Axelrod (Damian Lewis). Chuck and Bobby agreed to put aside their differences and combine forces to take down the major players that have wronged them. The season four trailer shows getting their revenge is going to be more difficult than Bobby and Chuck anticipated.
The cast of season four also features Asia Kate Dillon as Taylor Mason, Toby Leonard Moore as Bryan Connerty, David Costabile as Mike ‘Wags’ Wagner, Condola Rashad as Kate Sacker, Kelly AuCoin as ‘Dollar’ Bill Stearn, Jeffrey DeMunn as Chuck Rhoades Sr, and Malin Akerman as Lara Axelrod. Joining the cast as guest stars for season four are Samantha Mathis, Kevin Pollak, Jade Eshete, and Nina Arianda.
Billions was created by Brian Koppelman, Andrew Ross Sorkin, and David Levien. Koppelman and Levien serve as showrunners and executive produce.
Season four will premiere on Sunday, March 17, 2019 at 9pm ET/PT.

The Very Basic Season 4 Plot:
When everyone is out for revenge, no one is safe. This is never more true than in season 4 of Billions. Bobby Axelrod (Lewis) and Chuck Rhoades (Giamatti), former enemies, and Wendy Rhoades (Siff), the chief counselor to each, have come together to form an uneasy but highly effective alliance, aimed at the eradication of all their rivals, including Grigor Andolov (guest star John Malkovich), Taylor Mason (Dillon), Bryan Connerty (Moore) and Waylon “Jock” Jeffcoat (guest star Clancy Brown). Ambition and betrayal have long been at the heart of Billions, and this season all the characters find out exactly how high a price they’ll have to pay to satisfy those needs.
A Look Back at Season 3:
Season three of Billions finds Chuck Rhoades (Giamatti) and Bobby Axelrod (Lewis) in a world that has shifted on its axis. Both men are still determined to destroy the other, but must also battle for their own survival amid new forces and powerful enemies. Wendy Rhoades (Siff), Chuck’s wife and Axe’s performance coach, is all in for both of them, an uneasy and dangerous position for her, and one that ultimately puts her to a decision that could alter the direction of her life irrevocably. Money, power, justice and revenge are all on the line for each of these characters as well as those played by the rest of the stellar cast.
Freestyle Digital Media’s released the new official trailer for the romantic film Untogether starring Fifty Shades‘ Jamie Dornan. The cast also includes real-life siblings Jemima Kirke (Maniac) and Lola Kirke (Mozart in the Jungle) as well as Ben Mendelsohn (Animal Kingdom), Billy Crystal (When Harry Met Sally), Alice Eve (Iron Fist), Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing), and Scott Caan (Hawaii Five-0).
Emma Forrest wrote and directed the R-rated dramedy, with Scott Adler, Alex Cutler, Vijay Amritraj, Prakash Amritraj, Dana Guerin, Michael Guerin, and Greg Scott executive producing.
Discussing the film, writer/director Forrest said, “I like to think Untogether is a subversive Valentine’s date movie, written by someone whose seen The Breakfast Club as many times as they’ve seen Betty Blue. I’m Anglo-American and I wanted the film to have a very pop American sensibility combined with Euro-dreamy visual vibe. Although it is character driven, dialogue heavy and intimate, it was important to me that it not look like an “indie”. The feelings are gritty, complicated and confronting but I always intended the visuals to counteract that with their lushness.
I knew I wanted sisters playing sisters and I knew that, in my star, Jemima Kirke, I had a face an audience would be fascinated by, which is key when the actress is in almost every shot. I also knew Jamie Dornan just well enough to long to finally exploit on screen his infectious sense of humour.
I wanted to create a multi-generational piece that, in weaving between love stories, would offer, once the characters got beyond their self doubt and awkwardness, a movie about finally making a connection (whether or not you get to keep it). One of couples does. One of them doesn’t. Like life. Making art in the era of Trump, I needed to shoot something that was ultimately optimistic, and I think we succeeded.”
Untogether will be released on February 8, 2019.
The Plot:
“Untogether is the story of Nick (Jamie Dornan) and Andrea (Jemima Kirke) whose one night stand evolves into something more, though the exact parameters are blurry and undefined. He is a doctor and author whose heroics in the Middle East gained him international fame. She is a writing prodigy fully consumed with destructive vices, navigating Los Angeles without a driver’s license or credit card and sharing a home with her sister Tara.
Meanwhile, Tara (Lola Kirke) is dealing with relationship issues of her own as she slowly slips away from her boyfriend Martin (Ben Mendelsohn), who gave up his Australian fame as a rock ‘n’ roll god to be with her. Her way of acting out is to lose herself in religion and seek solace in a charismatic Rabbi (Billy Crystal). This is who they’ve all been so far but do they have the courage to find out who they really are?”
NBC’s New Amsterdam season one episode 11 finds Dr. Max Goodwin dealing with the side effects of his treatment. Airing on Tuesday, January 15, 2019 at 10pm ET/PT, episode 11 is titled “A Seat at the Table.”

The Season 1 Plot:
“Inspired by Bellevue, the oldest public hospital in America, this unique medical drama follows the brilliant and charming Dr. Max Goodwin (Eggold), the institution’s newest medical director who sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care. How can he help? Well, the doctors and staff have heard this before. Not taking “no” for an answer, Dr. Goodwin must disrupt the status quo and prove he will stop at nothing to breathe new life into this understaffed, underfunded and underappreciated hospital — the only one in the world capable of treating Ebola patients, prisoners from Rikers and the President of the United States under one roof — and return it to the glory that put it on the map.”

Details on Jane the Virgin Season 5:
Friends! Welcome back to Jane The Virgin… where surprises come at you fast and furious. This is a telenovela after all… Season Four saw our Jane (Gina Rodriguez) falling back in love with her baby-by-accidental-insemination-daddy, Rafael (Justin Baldoni). And she published her first book! Unfortunately, it didn’t exactly fly off the shelves, but Jane pushed on and had her biggest writing breakthrough yet, combining her grandmother’s story, her mother’s story, and her own into a multigenerational love story.
And speaking of the Villanueva women… our matriarch Alba (Ivonne Coll) had a huge year! She began dating again, became sexually liberated, became an American citizen (at last!), and got married! And Xiomara (Andrea Navedo) certainly had a big year as well. At first, she found herself struggling to adjust to life as a married woman. But she and Rogelio (Jaime Camil) worked through their issues. And then, just as Xo started to get her groove back, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After choosing to have a mastectomy, she started to go through chemo… which was tough. But she’s stayed strong, with her husband’s support…
Which brings us to her husband, Rogelio. First, he had a baby (named “Baby”) with his ex-girlfriend Darci. And then he decided to become a stay-at-home Danny (Dad + Nanny = Danny). And that lasted a whole month! But alas, he found staying home with his baby Baby pretty difficult. And he couldn’t resist the siren call of the cameras when the network decided they wanted to remake “The Passions of Santos” for American TV. Can you blame him? That’s been his dream forever! Unfortunately, that remake came with strings; it had to costar his latest, fiercest nemesis, River Fields (guest star Brooke Shields).
Which finally brings us to…Petra (Yael Grobglas), who was accused of murder! Again! But Petra denied it and hired a lawyer named Jane Ramos aka JR (guest star Rosario Dawson). And then, she and JR fell in love! And when Petra’s life was threatened, JR ran to her rescue, and wrestled the gun away from her would be attacker. But oh no! The gun went off! Leaving us with the classic cliffhanger – “Who did JR shoot”? And speaking of cliffhangers, remember when Jane walked into Rafael’s apartment and saw her dead husband Michael (Bret Dier) standing there? Well, I did say surprises come at you fast and furious around here…
The 100 Season 5:
Over the last four seasons The 100 have fought to survive against unimaginable odds, only to see the world end for a second time. Season five begins six years later, with our heroes still separated: Bellamy’s team in space, Clarke on the ground, and hundreds trapped in the bunker below. But when a massive prison ship descends upon the last survivable place on earth, The 100 must come together to reclaim their home. As two armies converge on one valley, alliances will shift, friends will become foes, and the march to war threatens to destroy all that’s left of the human race.
Can our heroes break the cycle, or is humanity doomed to repeat the past? In this epic battle for survival, one thing is certain: there are no good guys.
The In the Dark Plot:
In The CW’s new series In the Dark, Murphy (star Perry Mattfeld) is a hard-living, hard-drinking, disaffected twenty-something with a penchant for cigarettes and casual sex. She’s also blind. Murphy lives with her supportive best friend, Jess (Brooke Markham), and – more reluctantly – her trusty guide dog, Pretzel, whose presence she resents. Murphy’s closest friend is a sweet teenager named Tyson (Thamela Mpumlwana), who she befriends after he saved her from a violent mugging.
Her life comes crashing down when she stumbles upon what she’s sure is the lifeless body of Tyson in the alley outside her apartment. But when the police arrive there is no body to be found – and with Murphy not exactly sober, the police aren’t especially inclined to investigate. Murphy is determined to find the truth, no matter the risk… even if it means she has to sober up a little.
The CW’s Supernatural returns on January 17, 2019 at 8pm ET/PT, followed by a repeat of the series premiere of the sci-fi drama Roswell, New Mexico. Season 10 episode nine left off with Sam, Dean, Cas, and Jack being tricked into delivering the one weapon that could kill him to Michael. After a short and very unsuccessful battle, Michael revealed he left a crack open after vacating Dean’s body and now he’s back, baby, to inhabit his Dean suit once again. The episode ended with Dean’s eyes glowing and his bro, Cas, and Jack trapped in the same room. And if you watch the teaser trailer for episode 10, Michael assures Sam that Dean’s “not home right now.” Oh boy.
Season 14 episode 10 is titled “Nihilism” and was directed by Amanda Tapping from a script by Steve Yockey.
The season 14 cast includes Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester, Misha Collins as Castiel, Alexander Calvert as Jack, and Samantha Smith as Mary Winchester. Mark Pellegrino is Nick, Jim Beaver plays Bobby Singer, and Danneel Ackles is Anael. The season’s executive producers include Robert Singer, Andrew Dabb, Phil Sgriccia, Jeremy Carver, Eugenie Ross-Leming, and Brad Buckner.
The “Nihilism” Plot: THE BATTLE AT HITOMI PLAZA CONTINUES – Michael has re-taken control of Dean (Jensen Ackles) as his army of monsters continues to move in on our heroes. Sam (Jared Padalecki) devises a plan to try and reach Dean and stop Michael before anyone else has to die.
The Flash returns from its 2018-2019 winter break with season five episode 10 airing on January 15, 2019. Season five episode nine was The Flash‘s portion of the epic crossover event involving Arrow and Supergirl. Episode 10 picks up the story of Nora and her new knowledge of Thawne’s history.
Season five episode 10 was directed by David McWhirter from a script by Kelly Wheeler and Sterling Gates.
The Flash season five cast includes Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/The Flash, Tom Cavanagh as Harrison Wells, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow, Carlos Valdes as Cisco, Candice Patton as Iris West, and Jesse L Martin as Joe West. The cast also includes Hartley Sawyer as Ralph Dibny, Jessica Parker Kennedy as Nora West-Allen, and Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton.
“The Flash & The Furious” Plot: CAITLIN AND CISCO EMABRK ON A NEW JOURNEY — While Nora (Parker Kennedy) grapples with the revelation that Thawne (Cavanagh) killed her grandmother, Team Flash must stop the formidable team-up of a newly sprung from jail Weather Witch (guest star Reina Hardesty) and Silver Ghost (guest star Gabrielle Walsh), a new meta-tech villain who can control engines and motorized technology. Meanwhile, Caitlin (Panabaker) and Cisco (Valdes) discuss creating a meta-human cure.

Netflix’s official three minute trailer for Velvet Buzzsaw reveals a trippy thriller set in the art world, complete with paintings that come to life. The film reunites 2014’s Nightcrawler‘s writer/director Dan Gilroy with his real-life spouse Rene Russo and Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain).
Gilroy earned a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nomination for Nightcrawler which found Gyllenhaal playing a journalist. In Velvet Buzzsaw, Gyllenhaal plays an art critic who’s hard to impress until he’s shown paintings by a dead artist who incorporated real blood into his work.
In addition to Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo, the cast of Velvet Buzzsaw includes Toni Collette (Wanderlust, Please Stand By), Zawe Ashton (Nocturnal Animals, Not Safe for Work), Tom Sturridge (Far from the Madding Crowd, The Hollow Crown), Natalia Dyer (Stranger Things, After Darkness), Daveed Diggs (black-ish, The Get Down), Billy Magnussen (Tell Me a Story, The Oath), and John Malkovich (The New Pope, Bird Box).
Writer/director Gilroy’s behind the scenes team includes director of photography Robert Elswit, production designer James D. Bissell, editor John Gilroy (Dan’s twin brother), and costume designers Isis Mussenden and Trish Summerville. Two-time Oscar nominee Marco Beltrami (The Hurt Locker, 3:10 to Yuma) provided the film’s score.
Netflix will release the drama in select theaters and on the streaming service on February 1, 2019.
The Plot:
All art is dangerous.
“Velvet Buzzsaw is a satirical thriller set in the contemporary art world scene of Los Angeles where big money artists and mega-collectors pay a high price when art collides with commerce.”
