History’s Vikings cast members will once again invade the San Diego Comic Con to preview what’s in store in upcoming episodes. The network confirmed Travis Fimmel (Ragnar), Katheryn Winnick (Lagertha), Clive Standen (Rollo), Alexander Ludwig (Bjorn), Gustaf Skarsgard (Floki), and series creator/writer Michael Hirst will be making the trip to San Diego to participate in the Vikings panel.
Vikings cast members and writer Hirst will be showing off exclusive footage during their panel set for Friday, July 22nd from 5:45-6:45pm in Room 6BCF. The stars from the series will also take part in an autograph session while at Comic Con. And, History’s also going to be setting up a special “Vikings Vipers Den” at the Convention Center for fans to check out during the 2016 fanfest running July 21 through July 24 in downtown San Diego. The Vikings booth will also be handing out a limited edition comic book and Vikings drinking horns while supplies last.
Details on Vikings Activities at Comic Con:
VIKINGS CAST AUTOGRAPH SESSION – San Diego Convention Center – Friday, July 22 from 4 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.
Hosted by SDCC, 75 lucky fans will be chosen from a random drawing to attend an exclusive autograph signing with the Vikings cast. Visit the autograph area information booth for details on how to participate in a limited signing drawing.
VIKINGS VIPERS DEN – San Diego Convention Center – Booth #4215 – July 20-24
There were many ways to die during the Vikings era, however the most brutal and sinister form of death was being thrown into a snake pit. HISTORY assimilates the torture and terror with the Vikings Vipers Den on the SDCC floor. Fans will experience the fear of being surrounded by real snakes in a dark, dank abyss with no immediate escape. Attendees will have their screams and writhing captured on camera in sharable gifs and receive a Vikings viper cuff as a token of their triumph over death. Throughout the five day booth activation, there will be opportunities for fans to enter for chances to win tickets to the Vikings cast panel or the Vikings cast autograph session, both on Friday, July 22.
Rami Malek as Eliot Alderson in ‘Mr. Robot’ (Photo by: Peter Kramer / USA Network)
The Emmy nominated (2016 Outstanding Drama series) Mr. Robot, airing on USA network, began season two with a two-hour premiere. There were two major plot threads last season: Elliot Alderson, a cyber security engineer/vigilante hacker, played by Emmy nominee Rami Malek, struggles with a dissociative disorder; and his work with fsociety (an activist hacking group much like Anonymous) to bring down E Corp “to change the world.” It is hard to imagine another actor in this role as Malek so perfectly captures Elliot’s disorientation, terror, and detachment.
Last season Elliot learned that as a result of his psychological disorder the titular Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) is actually one of his identity states, embodied as his dead father, that he alone sees. Control is a major theme in this episode, and Elliot seeks to gain control over Mr. Robot who tries to bully him into resuming his role with fsociety. As part of this effort, Elliot now lives at his mother’s drab and austere home, and establishes a monotonous routine of sleeping, eating, and compulsive journaling. It is as if he is a robot controlled by a program. He also hopes to avoid Mr. Robot by staying away from computers. His psychiatrist, Krista (Gloria Reuben), questions why he would stay with his mother, who in flashbacks is seen as abusive to him as a child, and Elliot responds that she is the “strictest person I know,” and that he couldn’t trust himself back in his old life. He adds, “I don’t trust him.”
Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallstrom) was working with Elliot for fsociety at the end of last season. Wellick had been in line to become CTO of E Corp (known as Evil Corp), but was fired after suspicions arose that he killed the wife of the current CTO. One of the defining characteristics of dissociative identity disorder is memory impairment. Elliot suffers from gaps in memory and when Mr. Robot shows up, he asks him, “Where is Tyrell?” He fears that Mr. Robot has killed him and only at the end of the expanded episode does Elliot receive a phone call from Tyrell.
Angela (Portia Doubleday), a childhood friend of Elliot’s who, like him, lost a parent to the careless actions of E Corp, was involved in a class-action suit against the company last year. She was recruited to work in public relations for E Corp and we suspected that she would work from within to bring down the company. In this episode, however, it appears that she has become co-opted as she tells her lawyer that she likes her job. She appears to be controlled by positive affirmations that she repeats along with a video. One of those affirmations: “My confidence is powerful,” is ironic in that the CEO of E Corp tells a group from the government that all they do is con the public and confidence is necessary for the con to work.
In Elliot’s absence, his sister, Darlene (Carly Chaikin), takes the leadership position of fsociety. In a segment showing the extent to which people have turned over control to computers in their daily lives, fsociety hacks a “smart home package” causing the temperature controls, security system, music, and lighting, to become uncontrollable. The owner is forced from her home. In a scene exactly like the one with the CEO of E Corp addressing staff from a balcony, Darlene addresses the fsociety hackers from the balcony of the woman’s home they had made unlivable.
Wishing to finish off E Corp, Darlene has ransomware inserted in their computer system. Like some hackers, this group wants social change not profit, and so they have the $6 million they demanded in order for E Corp to regain control of their computers burned in Battery Park.
Gideon Goddard (Michel Gill), the president of the now-defunct Allsafe and Elliot’s former boss, pleads with Elliot to help him. Gideon is under suspicion of being complicit in the fsociety hack. Elliot does not help Gideon, who is completely innocent, and he is subsequently killed.
There are so many questions for the series to explore in future shows. White Rose (B D Wong) was meeting with Philip Price, CEO of E Corp at the end of last year’s final episode, which brings into question the Dark Army’s motivations. Tyrell Wellick’s wife, Joanne, continues to be a mysterious character. Who are the Wellicks and what is Joanne’s role in what Tyrell does? Finally, will the power struggle between Elliott and Mr. Robot result in Mr. Robot gaining more control?
Lionsgate’s just released five character posters for the upcoming action film, Power Rangers, directed by Project Almanac‘s Dean Israelite. Pictured on the posters are Dacre Montgomery (A Few Less Men) as Jason the Red Ranger, RJ Cyler (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) as Billy the Blue Ranger, Naomi Scott (The 33) as Kimberly the Pink Ranger, Becky G (Empire) as Trini the Yellow Ranger, Ludi Lin (Monster Hunt) as Zack the Black Ranger. Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect 2) isn’t pictured on the posters but plays the film’s villain, Rita Repulsa.
Six writers – John Gatins (Kong: Skull Island), Burk Sharpless, Matt Sazama (Dracula Untold), Zack Stentz, Ashley Miller (X-Men: First Class), and Max Landis (Chronicle) – are credited with the script. Power Rangers creator Haim Saban produces along with Brian Casentini, Wyck Godfrey, and Marty Bowen. Lionsgate is targeting a March 24, 2017 theatrical release.
The Plot: Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.

‘The Walking Dead’ season 7 key part (Photo: Frank Ockenfels 3/AMC)
We’re just one week from the kick-off of the 2016 San Diego Comic Con and today AMC has released the official The Walking Dead key art that will be on display at the Con. This year’s sold-out Comic Con runs July 21st through July 24th in downtown San Diego, and AMC’s The Walking Dead panel is scheduled for July 22nd at 1pm in Hall H (the Con’s largest meeting hall).
The poster features Rick and the rest of his band of zombie apocalypse survivors kneeling before Negan. From left to right the poster features Steven Yeun (Glenn), Christian Serratos (Rosita), Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon), Danai Gurira (Michonne), Michael Cudlitz (Abraham), Lauren Cohan (Maggie), Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan), Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes), Sonequa Martin-Green (Sasha), Ross Marquand (Aaron), Chandler Riggs (Carl), and Josh McDermitt (Eugene). Comic Con attendees will have a chance to pose in front of the lineup at The Walking Dead booth (#4237) in the Convention Center.
Oscar-winning director Warren Beatty wrote, produced, directed and stars in Rules Don’t Apply, playing eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes with Lily Collins playing an naive young actress. Regency Enterprises and 20th Century Fox just released the trailer and poster for the romantic dramedy set to hit theaters on November 23, 2016. The cast also includes Alec Baldwin, Annette Bening, Haley Bennett, Candice Bergen, Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, Steve Coogan, Alden Ehrenreich, Taissa Farmiga, Ed Harris, Megan Hilty, Oliver Platt and Martin Sheen.
The Plot: An aspiring young actress (Lily Collins) and her ambitious young driver (Alden Ehrenreich) struggle hopefully with the absurd eccentricities of the wildly unpredictable billionaire (Warren Beatty), who they work for.
It’s Hollywood, 1958. Small town beauty queen and devout Baptist virgin Marla Mabrey (Collins), under contract to the infamous Howard Hughes (Beatty), arrives in Los Angeles. At the airport, she meets her driver Frank Forbes (Ehrenreich), who is engaged to be married to his 7th grade sweetheart and is a deeply religious Methodist. Their instant attraction not only puts their religious convictions to the test, but also defies Hughes’ #1 rule: no employee is allowed to have any relationship whatsoever with a contract actress. Hughes’ behavior intersects with Marla and Frank in very separate and unexpected ways, and as they are drawn deeper into his bizarre world, their values are challenged and their lives are changed.
Oscar winner Kathy Bates (Misery) will star in the new original comedy series Disjointed from executive producer Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men). Netflix is so sure Disjointed will be binge-worthy, they’ve ordered the pot comedy straight to series. Per Netflix, season one of the multi-camera series will consist of 20 half-hour episodes.
The series will be produced by Warner Bros. Television for Netflix. Lorre and David Javerbaum (The Daily Show) are writing Disjointed, and both are executive producing.
Bates earned an Emmy Award in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie category for her work in American Horror Story: Coven. She also earned an Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series Emmy for guest starring in Lorre’s Two and a Half Men. Her additional television credits include Mike & Molly, Harry’s Law, and Six Feet Under.
The Plot:Disjointed is a workplace comedy starring Kathy Bates as a lifelong advocate for legalization who’s finally living her dream as the owner of an L.A.–area cannabis dispensary. Joining her are three budtenders, her twenty-something son and a deeply troubled security guard. All of them are more or less constantly high.

Bradley Steven Perry has joined the cast as Zevon, the son of Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove.

Jennifer Veal voices Ally, Alice in Wonderland’s daughter, and Ursula Taherian voices Jordan, the daughter of Aladdin‘s Genie.
Descendants: Wicked World season one raked in over 30 million U.S. viewers, making the decision to renew the animated short-form series for a second season a no-brainer for Disney. Descendants fans can expect three new songs in addition to new characters when the second season arrives later this year on the Disney Channel, the Disney Channel app, YouTube, and VOD.
The second season is written by Scott Peterson and directed by Eric Fogel. Fogel and Carin Davis executive produce.
The Plot of Season One: The first season of Descendants: Wicked World followed fan-favorite Descendants characters Mal, Evie, Carlos, Jay as they tried to fit in at Auradon Prep. Season one will conclude on Friday, July 15, 2016 at 8pm ET/PT with “Neon Lights Ball,” a half-hour special that will feature six back-to-back episodes and introduce CJ, the daughter of Captain Hook. During “Neon Lights Ball,” fans will be given a taste of the mystery and excitement that will fuel the highly anticipated sequel movie Descendants 2, which will begin production in the coming months. Additionally, viewers can test their Descendants knowledge with Disney Channel Live Play, an interactive viewing experience featuring real-time trivia and polls via the Disney Channel app on iOS devices during the east and west coast telecasts.
