DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will return for a third season on October 10, 2017 with an episode that finds dinosaurs walking around Los Angeles in 2017. The team broke time in season two and in season three, Sara Lance/White Canary (Caity Lotz) is going to have to get the Legends back together to fix the world.

The Season 3 Legends of Tomorrow Plot, Courtesy of The CW: “After the defeat of Eobard Thawne and his equally nefarious Legion of Doom, the Legends face a new existential threat created by their actions at the end of last season. In revisiting a moment in time that they had already participated in, they have essentially fractured the timeline and created anachronisms – a scattering of people, animals, and objects all across time! Our team must find a way to return all the anachronisms to their original timelines before the time stream falls apart. But before our Legends can jump back into action, Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) and his newly established Time Bureau call their methods into question.

With the Time Bureau effectively the new sheriffs in town, the Legends disband – until Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell) discovers one of them in the middle of his well-deserved vacation in Aruba. Seeing this as an opportunity to continue their time = travelling heroics, Sara (Lotz) wastes no time in getting the Legends back together. She reunites with billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), the unconventional historian–turned-superhero Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), former member of the JSA Amaya Jiwe (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), and Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson “Jax” Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm.

Once reunited, the Legends will challenge the Time Bureau’s authority and, in true Legends style, eventually run afoul of the Bureau when they recruit a hacker from the future, Zari Tomaz (Tala Ashe). Against the wishes of the bureau, they welcome Zari to the team and continue their time traveling shenanigans, while insisting that however messy their methods may be, some problems are beyond the Bureau’s capabilities. Some problems can only be fixed by Legends.”

During our brief roundtable interview at the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con in support of the upcoming season, Lotz discussed becoming the leader of the Legends and Sara’s growth over the seasons.

Caity Lotz Legends of Tomorrow Interview:

How do you feel about Sara as the leader of the team?

Caity Lotz: “It’s funny that it’s such a big deal to everybody. Like, ‘Oh, they put the woman in charge! Stop the presses!’ I think that she as a character was the most qualified, not as me as an actress but the way that they set up the character it really made sense. Yeah, it’s cute that it’s such a big deal, but it is I guess. It’s shocking to people. You don’t see it a lot. It’s shocking, it’s different. So, I guess more power to them for pushing the envelope.”

How is Sara different as a team leader than Rip?

Caity Lotz: “She knows a lot of things Rip Hunter doesn’t know. Rip Hunter knows about time travel and the Waverider. She knows about people, about military operations, about her team – how to speak to them, how to direct them, how to be a leader. So, they both have different qualities. Yeah, she doesn’t know about all the different rules of time travel or how the Waverider operates, but she’s got her own qualities.”

We’ve really seen Sara grow over the seasons. How has it been to go on this journey with this character and now see her taking charge of the team?

Caity Lotz: “It’s interesting. They surprise me all the time. We never know what’s going to happen with the writers. I get scripts and I’m like, ‘Oh, okay, then this is what’s happening.’ It’s a cool journey. […] It’s a lot of fun and I really like and respect the direction they’ve taken her. I think they’ve made her a very positive female character.”

Is there any time period you’d still like to visit?

Caity Lotz: “I don’t know. It changes all the time. I’m reading a book on stoicism so I feel like I’d like to go to Athens or ancient Rome to hear Socrates speak.”

Do you believe the success of Wonder Woman will help increase the presence and power of female superheroes in films and on TV?

Caity Lotz: “It’s interesting that we’re post-Wonder Woman like it’s the change of an era and my god I hope so. We’ll see how it goes. It’s weird; I notice a lot more sexism and just gender bias in general as I get older and this movie is great and it was successful, and I think a lot of the studios and everyone…it goes to the consumer’s will. It’s not necessarily anybody’s fault, but a movie like that does feel like it’s changing things, the believability of women and what we can achieve. I hope it continues to go that way.”

‘Detroit’ Movie Review

“You need to tell me where the gun is. I’ve got all night, people,” says officer Krauss (Will Poulter) to several young people being held for questioning during the race riots that took place in Detroit in the summer of 1967 in the dramatic film, Detroit.

The film begins with a short prologue explaining how racial tensions in Detroit were at a boiling point in the summer of 1967. After the raid of an illegal, after-hours, all black nightclub, the African-American community has had enough of what they know is persecution from the police and rioting erupts. Kathryn Bigelow’s film examines the atmosphere of of Detroit in ’67 before delving into the Algiers Motel incident which left three teenagers dead and nearly a dozen other people injured.

Dismukes (John Boyega) is just trying to make it through the night at his job as a security guard when he makes his presence known to the nearby National Guard troops by offering them some coffee as they stand watch on the look-out for snipers. Larry (Algee Smith), an up-and-coming singer trying to make his way in the R&B world, and his best friend, Fred (Jacob Latimore), decide to lay low at the Algiers Motel until the riot eases up enough for them to get home. They quickly make friends with two young white girls and are introduced to some of their black friends. Among them is Carl (Jason Mitchell) who fires off a starter pistol in the room to scare Larry and mockingly out the window at the police. The police, the National Guard, and Dismukes fear it’s another sniper and quickly surround the motel. Led by racist Officer Krauss, the men enter the building, shooting and terrorizing the guests in the motel.


Once inside and in control, Officer Krauss and his men line up Larry, Fred, the two young girls (who they greatly disapprove of socializing with black men), and the others and begin questioning them about the location of the gun. They demand to know who fired the weapon, beating and taunting the group for the answer without reading them their Miranda rights. As the night goes on, Krauss and his local cops abuse their authority. As a result of the continued beatings, thee black men die.

Directed by Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty) and based on historical events, Detroit is a tense, compelling, and disturbing film that captures the racial divide and tensions in the late 1960s and the brutality and bloodshed that occurred because of it. It brings back to life a part of America’s ugly past via strong direction and a solid cast.

John Boyega is perfectly cast as the security guard who winds up at the motel trying to help find the sniper and ends up struggling to help the trapped guests at the Algiers Motel, who are under suspicion from the hateful and racist local cops, survive the night. He’s one of the few sane and decent individuals trying to keep a very bad situation from becoming even more horrible. Will Poulter gives a chilling performance as Krauss, the racist lead officer who seems to have no conscience and enjoys abusing his authority, terrifying and beating the motel guests as he conducts his interrogation. He has no problem in killing if he deems it necessary. It’s a truly powerful and disturbing portrayal, and one that should be remembered come Oscar season for Best Supporting Actor.

The biggest problem, and the film’s weakness, is its ambition, being too broad at first and focusing for too long on the events that caused the massive riot in Detroit back in 1967 before narrowing in scope to focus on the terrible events that occurred at the Algiers Motel. Detroit spends too much time leading up to the brutal and tragic events at the motel while introducing the characters who will have their lives changed forever in the events that follow. The movie then races through the courtroom drama of the trial of the three cops and security guard for their actions. However, minor flaws aside, Detroit powerfully and effectively recaptures a dark, unsettling, and hateful part of America’s past.

‘Battlestar Galactica’ Reunion: Ronald D. Moore and David Eick on Cylons, Fan Questions, and Spinoffs

During our roundtable interview at the San Diego Comic Con with Battlestar Galactica’s executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, Eick recalled that it’s because of Moore that he transitioned from just a producer to a writer/producer. Eick used to give Moore so many notes about episodes of the series that Moore finally told him to try his hand at writing. Eick’s grateful for the little push by Moore, and it’s obvious the two remain close even all these years after the series wrapped up its short run.

Moore and Eick also talked about getting back together for Battlestar Galactica reunions and how proud they are their sci-fi series remains relevant today. And Ronald D. Moore answered a couple of questions about season three of another one of his shows, Outlander, during our roundtable interview at Comic Con.

Is there another spinoff or anything else you’d still like to do in this universe?

Ronald D. Moore: “We pretty much told the story that we wanted to tell. We’re proud of it and I don’t know that it requires another sequel. It is what it is. Some things you just shouldn’t try to keep topping yourself. You have to know when to get off the stage, and I think we left at the right time. I’m proud of what it is.”

David Eick: “When they’ve come to us with ideas for spinoffs, we’ve always been open. Caprica was an example of that where the studio had met with somebody where they had a pitch that they thought applied to areas that Ron and I had been talking about. That kind of came to us as an idea. If someone came to us with an idea and said, ‘What if Baltar split the atom?’ we would listen and think about it. But I don’t know that that’s going to happen. I don’t know that we’re holding our breath for that to happen. It seems like it’s been done.”

What questions are you surprised to still be getting from fans of the series?

Ronald D. Moore: “What was Starbuck in the end? I still get that which I always said at the time, ‘What do you think she is?’ because we deliberately left it as an open question. There is no definitive answer. […] You know what I love is that people actually still care. They’re still caught up in that. I think that’s a big tribute to us.”

Are you surprised that Battlestar Galactica‘s still so relevant?

Ronald D. Moore: “A little bit, but a little bit not. You have hopes and dreams when you set out to do one of these shows that it will last, that you’ll be coming back and doing reunions. This doesn’t usually happen, so it is surprising in essence. But, we really believed in the show. Like, ‘This is really good,’ so this is gratifying.”

It’s been eight years since the series ended and it seems that we’re not getting many sci-fi series set in space. Why is that?

David Eick: “Well, they tend to come with a lot of a clichés and stereotypes that frighten networks. It was in Ron’s manifesto, a lot of this stuff they’re afraid of. Time travel, evil robot twins, pick your poison – there’s a lot of tropes that sci-fi tends to drift to and network executives are concerned about that. Most of them were brought up on cop, doc, and lawyer, and when you come in and you pitch something science fiction, it takes them a while to get their heads around it and for them to themselves not expect you to do the stereotypes. On some level, they don’t like it but they still expect you to do it. So, for example when we say, ‘Commander Adama hates his son and won’t look at him. Despises him,’ they’re like, ‘But why? Why can’t they like each other?’ ‘No. Let them really hate each other and let’s spend five years building that relationship.’”


Ronald D. Moore: “And they’re expensive. They’re expensive shows to mount because you can’t just go down the block and shoot a scene, and you can’t just rent all the costumes. Everything has to be created in one way, shape, or form. So, you’re challenging them creatively and you’re also asking for a lot of money to do it, so it’s a difficult thing to sell.”

You recently admitted the Cylons didn’t have a plan. Did you mean to admit that?

Ronald D. Moore: “Yeah, it was like, ‘We’re saying this every week. Okay, they don’t really have a plan, but we’ll say it anyway.’”

David Eick: “The plan kept shifting; it’s not that they didn’t have a plan. (Laughing) Okay, here’s the real story behind that. We get done with season two of Battlestar. It’s 20 episodes and season one was 13. 20 episodes mowed his ass, exhausted, ‘F*ck the show, I don’t care. I’m tired.’ We go to Disneyland…and so we’re standing in line at Space Mountain at like 11 in the morning, but we got tickets to Club 33 which is the only place in Disneyland where you can drink. And we’re like, ‘Hey, it’s 11am. F*ck Space Mountain, let’s go up and get a drink.’

So, we go up, we sit down, we start pouring martinis, we get the buffet, and Ron’s just like, ‘Look, I’m just not going to do it. I’m done. I can’t do it anymore. It’s 20 episodes again – I’m not doing it.’ Then we start talking about, ‘What if we went on the Cylon ships and did a whole season three from the Cylon perspective? What do their ships look like?’ Another martini and before you know it…”

Ronald D. Moore: “…we had a plan.”

David Eick: “We had season three. So that’s what I mean by there was a plan but we just didn’t always know what it was.”

Can you tell us anything on Outlander?

Ronald D. Moore: “We’re in prep on season four. We wrapped production a month and a half ago, something like that. We’re on the air in the fall. I think it’s a really strong season. I think it’s a really good season. It was a good book; it adapted much more easily than season two did. It’s a cleaner story in a lot of ways. It’s a lot of fun. We embroidered some things in terms of in the book you don’t see too much of what happened to Claire and Frank during the 20 years the characters were separated. We embroidered on that so you can have a little bit more of a journey into that. We went and shot in South Africa for about three months on the Black Sails set and used their ships and their locations, so season three has this whole other look and feel because they’re going to go to sea. They’re going to end up in the Caribbean and Jamaica. It’s a pivot season, a transitional season for the show because after this point, the show kind of lives in the colonies. It’ll be in North Carolina. So, it’s a big movement away from Scotland and into North America.”

It’s a massive project to take from page to the screen.

Ronald D. Moore: “It’s a very complicated show to do logistically in terms of production because it doesn’t have standing sets. The story is like a traveling show, so every episode you’re basically whatever lessons you learned last week don’t really help you because now you should create a new reality in a new place. Characters that you love – they’re gone and now we’ve moved forward in time. It’s a very complicated show to produce. It’s a huge production. It’s a great team of people we have together.”

‘The Dark Tower’ Movie Review

Ordinary rather than extraordinary and average rather than epic, the much-anticipated The Dark Tower feature film suffers from a case of the mehs. (‘Meh’ was the word that immediately sprang to mind following the screening.) Those looking for an adrenaline-charged action film that’ll knock your socks off will be sorely disappointed in this adaptation of Stephen King’s fantasy book series. Neither Idris Elba nor Matthew McConaughey can save this flat adaptation from being utterly forgettable.

Directed by A Royal Affair’s Nikolaj Arcel, The Dark Tower introduces Jake Chambers (Tom Taylor), a socially awkward teen who suffers from recurring visions of a tower and two strange men. He believes the earthquakes currently rocking New York City have something to do with the tower, and obsessively draws everything he sees in his dreams. When his mom (Katheryn Winnick) and her obnoxious boyfriend (Nicholas Pauling) decide to send him to a clinic to be examined, he quickly determines the people who’ve come to take him away are part of the group bent on destroying the mysterious tower.

Jake travels through a portal to another dimension where he meets Roland the Gunslinger (Elba) whose sole motivation is to exact revenge on the powerful sorcerer known as the Man in Black, real name: Walter (McConaughey). Jake, however, is more concerned about saving the universe by finding a way to keep Walter from toppling the tower. And, as it turns out, his visions mark him as a powerful psychic.

The plot is relatively straightforward and the line between good and evil is clearly delineated. Elba dresses like the hero of a Western while McConaughey’s costumes pivot toward sleazy lounge singer stylings, designating him the villain.

The creatures that inhabit Walter’s dimension are meant to be frightening but are more low-budget TV series sci-fi than major theatrical release-worthy. In fact, none of the special effects in The Dark Tower are all that special. The visuals are as average as the plot, although it is fun to find the not-so-hidden Stephen King references planted throughout the sets.

Even with the relatively small amount of dialogue he’s given, Idris Elba’s performance is the best thing about The Dark Tower. Elba and Taylor form a believable mentor/student relationship, but it’s not enough to spur strong feelings about continuing to share this journey with the pair.

A TV series is in the works that will further delve into the world Stephen King created in his book series. Glen Mazzara, who did an outstanding job with the canceled-too-soon A&E series, Damien, has signed on to write and serve as showrunner on the project. King’s work is better suited to a series, and fans who are disappointed by 2017’s The Dark Tower 90-minute film will likely be better served by Mazzara’s take on King’s creation.

Freeform announced Famous in Love starring Bella Thorne has earned a second season. The series currently stands as the network’s #1 original series among women ages 18 to 34. Based on Rebecca Serle’s book and developed into a series by Serle and I. Marlene King (Pretty Little Liars), season one featured Charlie DePew, Georgie Flores, Carter Jenkins, Niki Koss, Keith Powers, Pepi Sonuga, and Perrey Reeves. King and and Melissa Carter are the showrunners and executive produce along with Serle, Miguel Arteta, and Dan Farah.

“We’re so proud to be continuing our relationship with Marlene King and this incredibly talented cast,” stated Karey Burke, executive vice president of Programming and Development. “Famous in Love has resonated with nearly 30 million fans across the U.S. and we couldn’t be happier to deliver another season of this addictive series.”


“It’s great to know we are just getting started on this wild and fun Hollywood ride called Famous in Love. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to dive deeper into the world and characters we fell in love with last season,” said I. Marlene King.

The Season 1 Plot: Famous in Love stars Bella Thorne as Paige, an ordinary college student who gets her big break after auditioning for the starring role in a Hollywood blockbuster. She must now navigate her new star-studded life — and undeniable chemistry with her two co-leads — while uncovering the truth about what happened to a missing, famous popstar.

Carter Jenkins is Rainer, the son of Hollywood royalty, who is one of Paige’s costars in the blockbuster movie. Charlie DePew plays Jake, Paige’s best friend who becomes jealous when Paige starts hanging out with Rainer. Keith Powers is Jordan, a Hollywood bad boy who stars with Rainer and Paige in the movie. He and Rainer have a complicated history, which is further heightened by the fact that both share chemistry with Paige. Niki Koss stars as Alexis, one of Rainer’s old friends, who competes with Paige for the same role, and like most people on the show, has a secret. Georgie Flores is Cassandra, Paige’s roommate and close friend, who is straightforward and a good friend. Perrey Reeves stars as Nina, Rainer’s smart and cunning mother, who is half of one of Hollywood’s most powerful couples. Confident and manipulative, she does whatever it takes to make sure things go her son’s way. Pepi Sonuga plays Tangey, a beautiful pop star who mysteriously disappeared from the public eye, and previously involved with both Rainer and Jordan.

NBC’s awarded the revival of the award-winning comedy series Will & Grace another season before the series even returns to the network’s primetime schedule. NBC announced the early renewal along with an order for four more episodes for season one of the show’s rebirth, or season nine if you count the show’s original run. The return of Will & Grace will kick off on Thursday, September 28, 2017 at 9pm ET/PT.

In addition to news on the expanded series order, the show’s stars had another reason to celebrate as they just participated in a special ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate “Will & Grace Day” in Los Angeles. LA Mayor Eric Garcetti read a proclamation praising the series at the ceremony which was held at Stage 22 on the Universal Studios backlot. “It’s so important to bring back the characters represented on this show – now more than ever,” said Garcetti. “No one makes change by yelling at the news coming through their Facebook feed. They make it by embracing and celebrating the diverse faces of America.”

“Wherever there are two men married who can’t get a cake with two grooms on top, we’ll be there. Whenever there’s a transgender person who is not able to pee where they want or serve in the military, we’ll be there. And wherever there’s a straight guy who doesn’t know how to cuff his pants, we’ll be there,” added executive producer Max Mutchnick.

Will & Grace was created by James Burrow who returns to direct and executive produce the new episodes. Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are the show’s writers. Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally reprise their roles as Will, Grace, Jack, and Karen.

Yellowstone adds Gil Birmingham and Dave Annable

Paramount Network’s original dramatic series Yellowstone has added Dave Annable and Gil Birmingham. The series marks a reunion for Birmingham and Yellowstone‘s writer/director Taylor Sheridan who previously worked together on Sheridan’s Hell or High Water and Wind River. Annable and Birmingham join a cast led by Kevin Costner and featuring Luke Grimes, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, and Kelly Reilly. Filming’s expected to begin this month in Utah. Paramount Network is targeting a summer 2018 premiere.

Yellowstone is executive produced by Kevin Costner, Taylor Sheridan, John Linson, Art Linson, Harvey Weinstein, and David Glasser. Season one will consist of 10 one-hour episodes.


The Plot: Yellowstone follows the Dutton family; led by John Dutton (Kevin Costner), who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, under constant attack by those it borders – land developers, an Indian reservation, and America’s first National Park. It is an intense study of a violent world far from media scrutiny — where land grabs make developers billions, and politicians are bought and sold by the world’s largest oil and lumber corporations. Where drinking water poisoned by fracking wells and unsolved murders are not news: they are a consequence of living in the new frontier. It is the best and worst of America seen through the eyes of a family that represents both.

-Dave Annable joins as John Dutton’s oldest son Lee, a cowboy, who serves as his father’s right-hand man in running the ranch.

-Gil Birmingham will portray Thomas Rainwater, a steely and proud Chief of an Indian Nation challenging the Dutton family.

-Luke Grimes plays John Dutton’s youngest son Cory, an emotionally reserved ex-Navy SEAL who lives with his Native American wife and seven year old son on the reservation.

-Wes Bentley will portray John’s other son Jamie, a polished lawyer considering a career in politics who continues to seek approval from his father despite his love for the limelight.

-Kelly Reilly will play John’s daughter Beth, a smart and powerful woman who is always prepared to fight alongside her father.

-Cole Hauser is Rip Wheeler, a tough and merciless wrangler from Yellowstone Ranch who will stop at nothing to get the job done.




‘American Vandal’ First Trailer Skewers True Crime Shows

Netflix’s first trailer for American Vandal is so twisted you’ll question whether the network’s playing a very early or much delayed April Fool’s Day joke on us all. The new series, described as a “true-crime satire,” kicks off with an eight episode first season on Friday, September 15, 2017. The cast of the bizarre half-hour comedy includes Tyler Alvarez, Griffin Gluck, Jimmy Tatro, Camille Hyde, Eduardo Franco, Jessica Juarez, Lou Wilson, Camille Ramsey, Calum Worthy, and G Hannelius.

The Plot: From co-creators Tony Yacenda (Pillow Talking) and Dan Perrault (Honest Trailers), and showrunner Dan Lagana (Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous), American Vandal is a half-hour true-crime satire that explores the aftermath of a costly high school prank that left twenty-seven faculty cars vandalized with phallic images. Over the course of the eight-episode season, an aspiring sophomore documentarian investigates the controversial and potentially unjust expulsion of troubled senior (and known dick-drawer) Dylan Maxwell. Not unlike its now iconic true-crime predecessors, the addictive American Vandal will leave one question on everyone’s minds until the very end: Who drew the dicks?
