AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead season four just released a lengthy trailer which introduces the season’s key new characters. It also brings Morgan (played by Lennie James) from The Walking Dead into the fold, with the new trailer showing Morgan knocking Nick off his feet as he shows off his wooden staff skills.
The new season leaps forward in time and the trailer reveals Madison and her family have settled down in a stadium. Perhaps the most surprising development unveiled in the trailer is that Nick actually looks happy.
New characters introduced in the trailer include Jenna Elfman as Naomi, Garret Dillahunt as John, and Maggie Grace as Althea. Returning series stars include Kim Dickens as Madison Clark, Frank Dillane as Nick Clark, Alycia Debnam-Carey as Alicia Clark, Colman Domingo as Victor Strand, and Danay Garcia as Luciana Galvez.
Fear the Walking Dead is executive produced by Scott M. Gimple, Robert Kirkman, David Alpert, Gale Anne Hurd, and Greg Nicotero. Showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg also executive produce the zombie apocalypse series.
Fear the Walking Dead season four will premiere on AMC on Sunday, April 15, 2018.
The Season 4 Plot: In Season 4 of Fear the Walking Dead we will see the world of Madison Clark (Kim Dickens) and her family through new eyes – the eyes of Morgan Jones (Lennie James), who is joining the story from the world of The Walking Dead. The characters’ immediate pasts mix with an uncertain present of struggle and discovery as they meet new friends, foes and threats. They fight for each other, against each other and against a legion of the dead to somehow build an existence against the crushing pressure of lives coming apart. There will be darkness and light; terror and grace; and the heroic, mercenary and craven, all crashing together toward a new reality for Fear the Walking Dead.

FX’s new dramatic series Trust is inspired by true events and focuses on the Getty family, in particular the events surrounding the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III. Episode one airing March 25, 2018 and titled “The House of Getty” begins with John Paul Getty III (Harris Dickinson) racing through a field of flowers. He’s obviously running from someone, but his pursuer remains unseen.
The scene switches to a wild Hollywood party. It’s 1973 and beautiful people are mingling at a pool party outside a mansion, drinking, and listening to a live band.
A woman screams for George to open the garage door while inside George (Filippo Valle) is freaking out. More women arrive to pound on the garage’s glass windows as George picks up a large two-pronged barbecue fork and stabs himself in the chest.
The location switches to Sutton Place, home of one of the richest men in the world: J. Paul Getty. The Getty patriarch (Donald Sutherland) wakes and his butler, Bullimore (Silas Carson), prepares his morning drink containing a raw egg while he lays in bed. Bullimore then dresses his boss and brushes his teeth while James Fletcher Chace (Brendan Fraser) reveals the results of George’s autopsy. George was high when he stabbed himself, and J. Paul Getty is indignant that the report lists George’s death as a suicide. James promises to take care of it.
J. Paul Getty’s mistresses assemble for breakfast and he asks which one of them loves him best. After that bit of teasing, he expresses outrage over the tiny rise in the price of the newspaper, and then wonders who among his mistresses he’ll leave his fortune to. He then warns them a new woman, Teresa, will soon be added to his collection.
That afternoon, J. Paul Sr speaks at his son’s funeral, calling him the son upon whom the future of Getty Oil rested. He thinks fate robbed George of his destiny.
After the funeral service, the senior Getty’s sons – Ronald, John Paul Getty Jr, and Gordon – hide in the restroom and smoke pot, joking about who will fill George’s role in the Getty Oil business. Ronald’s a movie producer, Gordon’s writing a symphony, and Paul is a drug addict. It appears no one wants the job except Paul whose current relationship with his father is non-existent.
J. Paul Sr rants about his feckless heirs and expresses jealousy over his peers’ families, including the Kennedys.
John Paul Getty III arrives late to the funeral, making quite an impression in long hair, casual shirt, and bell-bottom jeans. His arrival interrupts his father’s talk with J. Paul Sr. Just as Paul confirms he wants back in the oil business, John Paul Getty III (who also goes by Paul) causes a stir with his disheveled appearance. He heads straight to the food as all conversations come to a halt.
J. Paul Sr introduces his grandson to the funeral attendees and they applaud.
Minutes later, J. Paul Jr speaks to his son outside and demands to know why he decided to attend the funeral. J. Paul Jr believes it’s because his son needs cash and doesn’t listen to his response, driving away before John Paul Getty III can explain.
Funeral over and his father gone, the soaking wet Paul is told by Bullimore to ask the lady of the house if he can stay. The women are immediately infatuated with this good-looking young hippie.
The cook has Paul strip out of his wet clothes and dries him with a towel. She’s kind to him and seems happy to see him in her kitchen.
Later, the women and J. Paul Sr. are relaxing as Paul looks around the room. He finds a statuette he assumes is expensive and asks about it. J. Paul Sr leaves the room with one of his girlfriends without discussing the piece.
After everyone goes to bed, Paul explores the house and hears his grandfather having sex. He heads back to the room, silently grabs the statuette, and returns to his bedroom where he packs it away in his belongings.
The miserly J. Paul Sr rinses his socks and hangs them on a line in his bathroom to dry.
The next morning, Paul realizes his grandfather’s butler has unpacked his bags and folded and put away his clothes. Paul begs Bullimore not to tell his grandfather he was stealing the statuette, and Bullimore explains that his grandfather’s attitude is that property is tax-deductible. However, he won’t tell J. Paul Sr because he doesn’t want him to be disappointed in his grandchildren.
J. Paul and his grandson bond over their appreciation of art. The senior Getty is impressed his grandson is well versed in works of art, including the Elgin Marbles the senior Getty’s attempting to procure from the British Museum. While they discuss art, Paul says he wants to go to Morocco and tells his grandfather there are Carthaginian and Rome artifacts just lying about in the desert waiting to be discovered. J. Paul’s impressed and a bit shocked he didn’t know about that.
Surprisingly, the two seem to actually enjoy each other’s company.
J. Paul takes his grandson on a tour of three oil rigs out in the ocean. They discuss the history of oil and the approach to drilling taken by other nations. “Oil is everything. Everything!” says J. Paul, describing shampoos, clothing, shoes, and even toothbrushes as being made of oil. He assures Paul that everything is dependent on oil.
The discussion turns to money and J. Paul draws a diagram of how his money goes from the Sarah Getty Trust to oil fields to shipping to refineries to gas stations to hotels – all under Getty Oil’s control. Paul’s a quick learner and knows just what to say to keep his grandfather talking. The way it’s set up, J. Paul has the business registering a loss because the profits are poured back into the business. That way he doesn’t pay taxes until the money’s drawn out of the trust, which he never does.
J. Paul realizes his grandson needs cash, and Paul admits he ran up debts that he needs paid off…$6,000 to be exact. He claims it’s due to his drinking and going out too much and lies when J. Paul asks if he does drugs. J. Paul’s fine with the fact chasing women caused the debt, but not drugs. J. Paul reveals every woman he has sex with has to sign a contract first renouncing all rights, and Paul jokes it’s a “financial condom.”
Next, J. Paul gets his daily briefing on telexs and mail, learning about a letter from a woman who claimed to know him intimately. He’s told Teresa will be arriving tomorrow.

Back at the estate, J. Paul’s mistresses watch Paul swim and fantasize about the handsome young stud. Then, one of the women reveals Paul has a spread in the current edition of Playmen Magazine. The women giggle.
J. Paul arrives and proposes a deal. He’ll give Paul $6,000 if he does six months on an oil rig. He can quit after six months, but J. Paul assures him that in two years of working for him “he won’t just visit Morocco, he’ll own Morocco.”
That night, Paul uses the pay phone inside the Getty Estate to inform Martine Zacher (Laura Bellini) and Jutta Winklemann (Sarah Bellini) that he hasn’t received any money yet. They tell him the man he owes is watching their house and they’re scared. Paul tells Martine not to worry, he loves her and will take care of everything.
John Paul Getty Jr and his girlfriend Victoria (Hannah New) receive an invitation back to Sutton Place. He doesn’t want to go, but Victoria thinks it means the job is his for the asking.
The party is to celebrate the arrival of Teresa, and the staff works double-time to prepare for the formal event.
John Paul Getty Jr and Victoria do attend, and J. Paul Sr appears to be happy to see his son. He then asks his women, including Penelope (she’s the leader of the group and the one he considers his girlfriend), to follow him into the hall to meet Teresa. J. Paul calls out to her and the women scream in fright and flee back to the party when they discover Teresa is a lion.
John Paul Jr sits near his father at the dining table during the party, assuring his father he’s completely ready to take on the job at Getty Oil. J. Paul Sr compliments him, but then swiftly tells him it’s his son who’ll be taking on George’s role in the company. J. Paul Sr is bypassing the father to give the coveted position to his grandson, asking his guests to raise their glasses and toast John Paul Getty III.
J. Paul Jr’s shocked and angrily races from the room, his plans destroyed by this new relationship between his father and his son. Angry and wanting to ruin this new arrangement, J. Paul Getty Jr returns and confronts his father. He shows him the spread in Playmen Magazine, catching J. Paul Sr by surprise. The senior Getty thumbs through the pages and it’s clear he disapproves.
Later that night after all his guests have left, J. Paul receives an injection into his penis so that he can have sex. He warns the doctor this injection better work. Before he has sex, he pens a letter and passes it to Bullimore to be given to Paul.
Bullimore delivers the letter which only includes the phone number to purchase an airline ticket to Rome. Paul is to leave immediately without the money he needs to pay off the criminals/mafia. Paul can’t believe his grandfather won’t give him any money and then Bullimore reveals J. Paul knows the debt came from purchasing champagne and cocaine. Paul says he never wanted to be a Getty and has been trying to hide from his family name all his life.
Paul, crying, asks Bullimore what to do, and Bullimore hugs him. “If you really don’t want to be a Getty, Paul, leave this place and never ever come back,” suggests Bullimore before wishing him luck.
Rome one week later: Paul runs wildly through the streets and into a club, obviously high and out of control. He buys a beautiful woman a drink in a club, ecstatic he’s just himself. He thinks he’s free now. Suddenly, his mood is ruined by the appearance of a man who’s after him to repay his debt.
Paul runs out of the club and into the street. He dunks his head in a fountain as a car races toward him. Men exit the car, give him a hood to place over his head, and toss him in their vehicle.
The final scene of Trust season one episode one is a repeat of the episode’s opening with Paul running through a field of flowers.

AMC’s The Walking Dead season eight episode 12 ended with Jadis knocking out Negan as he’s seated in the front seat of her car. With their leader gone, Simon rallied the Saviors to continue on, reminding them who they are and what their mission should be: wipe out everyone associated with Rick and his group.
Season eight episode 13 begins with Morgan (Lennie James) having a vision of the dead Savior Gavin yelling at him. He’s brought back to reality in time to pass along the warning to the Hilltop that the Saviors are approaching. Horns sound throughout the surrounding area as a signal to get ready for the attack.
Inside the compound, Henry wants to help but Carol (Melissa McBride) and Ezekiel (Khary Payton) want him to remain inside.
The hospital’s ready for patients and Saddiq (Avi Nash) is quizzed about his medical skills. He admits he hasn’t got that much experience operating in these circumstances – he hasn’t operated while holding people down without anesthesia – but he’s ready to take on whatever comes his way.
Night falls and those inside the Hilltop’s walls are ready. As the Saviors pull up outside, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) quietly says, “Here we go.”
Simon (Steven Ogg) and the Saviors approach, ready for battle. The Hilltop has set up obstacles in the road and the Saviors stop to clear the path. Maggie radios the group and Simon informs her he’s speaking on behalf of Negan. Simon warns “the bill has come due” and now’s the time to pay. She reminds him she has 38 of his people and she will kill them if he doesn’t turn around. Simon responds by telling her she can go ahead and kill them. They are damaged goods.
Gregory (Xander Berkeley) tells Maggie he knew her plan wouldn’t work, but she still believes it will.
As Simon tells his people they need to get rid of all the Hilltoppers, Dwight (Austin Amelio) questions whether he’s worried about Negan. Negan wouldn’t want these people killed; he wanted them warned.
As they talk, Daryl (Norman Reedus) rides up and opens fire. They open the gate and let him in, and a Savior’s car follows. War begins as Maggie yells, “Now!” Shots are exchanged and the Saviors shoot infected arrows and use infected knives. (It should be noted that the Saviors are far more accurate with arrows than the Hilltoppers are with bullets.)
Carol rushes to Tobin after he’s injured while other Saviors pour into the compound to take on more Hilltoppers. Simon sneaks through the buildings. Tara is injured as the Hilltoppers are called back into the building by Maggie.
The Hilltoppers begin shooting again, hitting the headlights of cars which they’re aiming at to make it dark. (How is it possible they can hit a headlight but not a Savior?)
Simon leads more Saviors into the complex, but now they can’t see anything because it’s pitch-black. Despite the inability to see, Simon wants the place surrounded. He thinks the Hilltoppers have run away, but he wants his group to investigate the main building anyway.
He whistles as he approaches the building, even though he just told everyone else to be as quiet as possible. Just then lights come on and the Hilltoppers begin shooting once more. More headlights come on and it turns out the Saviors are now surrounded by a group led by Rick. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) almost attacks the doctor in all the chaos but stops at the last second.
Morgan has the same vision of Gavin while fighting.
Some Saviors make it back to their trucks and escape. (The Hilltop people can’t hit the broad side of a barn and seem to like wasting bullets.)

Rick confesses to Maggie he tried to kill Negan earlier but didn’t. She thanks him, unaware of how dumb his attack was and how useless it turned out to be.
The next day the Hilltoppers work on repairing their walls and preparing for more attacks. Daryl and Tara (Alanna Masterson) have a talk and he thinks she should rest since she was injured. She claims it’s not a bad wound and then they have a debate over Dwight. Daryl thinks Dwight tried to kill her, but Tara believes he’s still working with them and tried to help.
Rick takes down the wood from the windows while Michonne (Danai Gurira) offers him a turnip. He’s in a horrible mood as he explains he’s removing the boards, so the kids can get fresh air. Michonne wants to look at his cut but Rick refuses to let her. He needs to get the boards down. She gets busy helping him and he admits he had to try to take out Negan, but not the full circumstances of his attack which failed miserably.
The dead are buried and Maggie lets Alden (Callan McAuliffe) free to bury his people. He thanks her but says they’re not his people anymore.
Dianne (Kerry Cahill) tells Maggie she’s a good leader and saved them last night. She carried out her plan and saved the community. Maggie thinks she sacrificed her people, but she needs to keep the prisoners alive since Negan’s still in play. She wants her husband’s grave to be the last thing he sees.
Those who were injured by the Saviors are recuperating. Carol and an injured Tobin have a heart-to-heart, and it’s obvious he really cares about her. Carol’s not optimistic about the future.
Saddiq asks to treat Rick’s wound so it won’t get infected. Rick allows him but is still in angry/pouting mode. He doesn’t want to discuss Carl and leaves Saddiq before he can check out the wounds.
Night falls and everyone settles down in the hallways and bedrooms of the main house. Those who were injured seem to be feeling better.
Nope, they’re not better at all. In fact, they’re beginning to turn. Tobin takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He dies at 2:13am and at 3:26am one of his fellow patients gets up to find the doctor. Tobin attacks him before he can leave the hospital. Tobin then kills the nurse as she comes to check on the patients.
Others who were infected turn and head into the building where everyone is asleep. One falls down the stairs, growling, and yet no one wakes up. (This is a frustrating episode to recap. How could someone fall down a long flight of stairs into an area where people are sleeping – people who should be sleeping lightly as they’re on alert because of a potential attack – and no one hears anything?)
The prisoners are sleeping in their pen when Henry wakes Gregory, telling him to be quiet. He asks which one killed his brother, but Gregory claims he doesn’t know his fellow prisoners. Gregory tries to get Henry to turn over his gun, apologizing for his dead brother. Henry believes killing the man who killed his brother will make him feel better. Alden wakes up and assures Henry that killing the murderer of his brother won’t make him feel any better. As they talk, screaming is heard from the main building.
All hell has broken loose as the newly turned walkers attack their former friends. More walkers are created as the Hilltoppers flee the building. One prisoner says this is all music to his ears and Henry asks if he’s the one who killed his brother. Henry, acting ridiculously stupid, unlocks the gate and enters with the gun pointed. He demands the person who did it step forward. He begins to count to 10 but before he gets there one of the prisoners turns into a walker and begins attacking. Henry’s disarmed and the prisoners escape. (I hate this episode.)
Maggie, Daryl, Rick, and others begin dispatching the undead inside the building. The Hilltoppers can’t figure out what happened and then realize these newly turned walkers are their own people.
Tobin’s about to kill someone else when Carol arrives. She pauses before killing Tobin as it dawns on her he wasn’t bit. After killing Tobin, Maggie, Rick, Carol, and Daryl figure out Negan had a plan. One of the still alive but injured Hilltoppers who’s in a nearby bed says this is the fever and anyone injured in the attack will turn.
Tara hasn’t turned – yet – and is with Rosita (Christian Serratos) and Enid (Katelyn Nacon) when Daryl and Rick enter the room. Daryl tells her the Saviors did something to the weapons and that everyone who got cut or shot got sick and turned. Daryl and Tara have another talk about Dwight, and Daryl feels guilty for not killing him before this attack.
Outside the building, Saddiq is attacked but Alden saves him. Maggie and the group realize some of the prisoners are trying to close the gate and help them out. A lot of the prisoners ran away, but the ones who stayed are helping the Hilltoppers.
Carol and Ezekiel go looking for Henry, but he’s gone. Enid informs Carol that Henry broke into the pen before the Saviors escaped.
Morgan has another vision of Gavin the dead Savior saying, “You know what it is!” over and over again.
Maggie and the group bury the newly dead, which turns out to be way fewer Hilltoppers than it looked like during the attack.
Marvel’s Black Panther has taken over the top spot as the highest grossing superhero film of all time. Black Panther nudged past The Avengers to earn the $1 spot on the domestic superhero film chart on the same weekend it finally gave up the top spot at the box office. After five weekends as the reigning box office champion, Black Panther slipped into second place over its sixth weekend in theaters. Pacific Rim Uprising was able to snag the #1 position with an domestic opening weekend gross of $28 million.
The original Pacific Rim starring Charlie Hunnam and directed by Guillermo del Toro opened in theaters on July 12, 2013. That film rang up $37 million over its opening weekend and went on to gross $411 million worldwide before exiting theaters. The sequel was directed by Steven S. DeKnight and stars John Boyega, Scott Eastwood, Rinko Kikuchi, and Charlie Day.
The weekend’s other big new release, Sherlock Gnomes, failed to draw in family audiences. Gnomeo and Juliet opened to $25 million in 2011 while the 2018 sequel brought in just $10 million over its first three days in release.
The Pacific Rim Uprising Plot: The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising.
John Boyega stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) — who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction.
Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (Fate of the Furious’ Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale.

Into the Badlands season three will premiere on Sunday, April 22, 2018 at 10pm ET/PT.
The Season 3 Plot:Into the Badlands is a story of survival and dominance set in a future feudal society. Within the territory known as the Badlands, a variety of clans struggle for supremacy over one another. These clans have been formed by the destruction of familial bonds and skirmishes over power. The show’s interwoven themes of martial arts, love and redemption are highlighted by what the show is best known for: its stunning cinematography and striking fight sequences.
Season three finds Sunny (Wu) living off the grid, doing his best to provide for his infant son, Henry, in the wake of Veil’s death. It is only when Henry contracts a mysterious illness that Sunny must join forces with Bajie (Frost) and journey back into the Badlands, where The Widow (Beecham) and Baron Chau (Eleanor Matsuura) are entrenched in a drawn-out war that has destabilized the entire region.
No longer supported by Tilda (Ioannides) or Waldo (Stephen Lang), The Widow must find new allies in Lydia (Brady) and in Nathaniel Moon (Augustus) — the former regent who lost his hand to Sunny and Bajie in Season 2. But when a mysterious nomadic leader called Pilgrim (Ceesay) arrives in the Badlands on a mission to restore Azra and usher in a new era of “peace,” old enemies must band together to defend the Badlands.
