The Plot:

However, Kara’s days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw, head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.

Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart have just begun work in starring roles in the action comedy Central Intelligence directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (We’re the Millers). The cast also includes Amy Ryan and Danielle Nicolet, with Ryan playing a CIA agent and Nicolet playing Hart’s wife.

Filming is currently underway in Boston.

Ike Barinholtz & David Stassen and Sean Anders & John Morris wrote the screenplay based on a story by Barinholtz and Stassen. Set up with New Line Cinema and Universal Pictures, Central Intelligence is executive produced by Ed Helms and will be released by Warner Bros Pictures.

But before the staid numbers-cruncher realizes what he’s getting into, it’s too late to get out, as his increasingly unpredictable new friend drags him through a world of shoot-outs, double-crosses and espionage that could get them both killed in more ways than he can count.

Starz announced the series premiere of Blunt Talk is set for August 22, 2015 at 9pm ET/PT followed by the season two premiere of Survivor’s Remorse. Blunt Talk is a half-hour comedy series created by Jonathan Ames and executive produced by Ames, Seth MacFarlane, Stephanie Davis, and Tristram Shapeero.

Survivor’s Remorse comes from NBA all-star/executive producer LeBron James, Tom Werner, Maverick Carter, Mike O’Malley, Paul Wachter, Victor Levin, and Hilton Smith.

Both Blunt Talk‘s first season and Survivor’s Remorse‘s second season will consist of 10 episodes.

Details on Blunt Talk and Survivor’s Remorse (Courtesy of Starz):

Blunt Talk – Set in Los Angeles, the story follows Walter Blunt, a British import intent on conquering the world of American cable news and the fallout from his well-intentioned, but mostly misguided decision-making, both on and off the air. Through the platform of his nightly cable news show, Blunt is on a mission to impart his wisdom and guidance on how Americans should live, think and behave. Besieged by network bosses, a dysfunctional news staff, numerous ex-wives, and children of all ages, Blunt’s only support is the heavy-drinking, devoted manservant he transplanted from the U.K. to join him in Los Angeles. The series is greenlit for a two-season, 20-episode commitment.

The cast is led by Patrick Stewart (X-Men franchise) in the role of Walter Blunt, Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook) as Rosalie, Blunt’s tough and motherly producer-manager and Adrian Scarborough (The King’s Speech) as Harry, Blunt’s manservant. Dolly Wells (Doll & Em) who was cast as Celia, Blunt’s senior producer and head writer, with Timm Sharp (Enlightened) who was cast as Jim, Blunt’s head writer, round out the cast.

Survivor’s Remorse – Survivor’s Remorse follows the life of Cam Calloway (played by Jessie T. Usher), a hard working, young basketball star who is thrust into the limelight after signing a huge contract with a pro basketball team in Atlanta. In the second season, we see Cam and his cousin and confidant, Reggie Vaughn (played by Ronreaco Lee), continue trying to navigate Cam’s meteoric rise. From business deals to relationships and friendship, the two confront the challenges of balancing the needs of family with the rewards and responsibilities generated by their newfound wealth and fame. Cam, Reggie, and the unforgettable group of characters that is the Calloway clan, wrestle with the rewards and pitfalls of stardom, love and loyalty. The cast also includes Mike Epps, Tichina Arnold, Teyonah Parris and Erica Ash.




TNT Greenlights ‘Alienist,’ ‘Will,’ and ‘Animal Kingdom’

TNT Greenlights Alienist, Will, and Animal Kingdom

Kevin Reilly, president of TBS and TNT and chief content officer for Turner Entertainment, announced there will be a shift in focus at TNT. During Turner Broadcasting’s 2015 Upfront presentation Reilly said the network’s lineup of 11 original series is strong, led by returning shows Murder in the First, The Librarians, The Last Ship, and Legends. Reilly also confirmed TNT has Proof, Agent X, and Public Morals ready to premiere, and they’re moving forward on The Alienist, Will, and Animal Kingdom.

“TNT will continue to deliver great drama and live event specials, but our presentation and portfolio will look dramatically different,” said Reilly. “As we expand our portfolio, viewers should expect some very daring shows – some of which will not appeal to all of our current viewers but will be a lightning rod to attract new viewers.”

Here’s the details on the three just announced new shows:

The Alienist – TNT has greenlit The Alienist, a new eight-part drama series from Paramount Television, Anonymous Content, Emmy®-winning director Cary Fukunaga (True Detective, Jane Eyre, Sin Nombre), Academy Award®-winning producer Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, The Insider, Munich) and Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Hossein Amini (The Wings of the Dove, Drive, The Two Faces of January). The Alienist is a co-production between TNT Original Productions and Paramount Television.


Based on the Anthony Award-winning New York Times bestseller by Caleb Carr, The Alienist is a fast-paced and atmospheric psychological thriller set in the fascinating and gritty world of Gilded Age New York City. After a series of haunting and gruesome murders, psychiatrist Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, newspaper reporter John Moore and police commissioner Theodore Roosevelt come together employing emerging disciplines of psychology and early crime investigation techniques to track down one of New York City’s first serial killers.

Will – The wild story of young William Shakespeare’s arrival onto the punk rock theater scene that was 16th century London – the seductive, violent world where his raw talent faced rioting audiences, religious fanatics and raucous side-shows. It’s the hot, contemporary, dangerous version of Shakespeare’s life, played to a modern soundtrack, exposing all his recklessness, lustful temptations and brilliance. Craig Pearce (The Great Gatsby, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge) wrote the pilot for Will, which is being executive-produced by Pearce, Vince Gerardis, Howard Braunstein, and Louise Rosager.

Animal Kingdom – When 17-year-old Josh moves in with his wild, free-wheeling relatives in their Southern California beach town, he is pulled into their life of indulgence and excess. But after Josh discovers that it’s all being funded by criminal activities, it suddenly becomes clear to him that joining the family comes with more danger and excitement than he might be ready to handle. This family crime drama comes to TNT from John Wells Productions in association with Warner Horizon Television, with Emmy® winner John Wells (TNT’s Southland, ER, The West Wing, Shameless), Jonathan Lisco, Andrew Stearn, David Michôd (Animal Kingdom film, The Rover) and Liz Watts (Animal Kingdom film, The Rover) serving as executive producers. Wells is set to direct the pilot from a script by Lisco. The project is inspired by the feature film produced by Watts and written & directed by Michôd.

Crimson Peak New Trailer
Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston star in ‘Crimson Peak’
