Rosario Dawson (Sin City, Rent) will be voicing a fiery and courageous fairy in the new Disney Fairies film, Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast. Rosario Dawson joins a voice cast that includes Ginnifer Goodwin, Mae Whitman, Megan Hilty, Lucy Liu, Raven Symone, and Angelica Huston.
Steve Loter (Kim Possible) directed the family-friendly, fairy-friendly animated film, which will be available on Blu-ray on March 3, 2015.
According to the official casting announcement, Nyx is “a Scout Fairy charged with protecting the luscious land of Pixie Hollow and all of the fairies who reside there. A true professional who takes her job very seriously—maybe a little too seriously—allowing facts and logic to guide her every move. Driven to succeed, Nyx is often willing to let compassion take a back seat. The Scout Fairies are a group of fearless fairies who protect the residents of Pixie Hollow. They are agile and athletic with a keen ability to spot trouble before it gets out of control.”
The Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast Plot:
Disneytoon Studios returns to Pixie Hollow with the heartwarming adventure Legend of the NeverBeast. The new story explores an ancient myth of a fabled creature whose distant roar sparks the curiosity of Tinker Bell’s good friend Fawn, an animal fairy who’s not afraid to break the rules to help an animal in need. But this animal—massive and strange with glowing green eyes—is not really welcome in Pixie Hollow, and the scout fairies are determined to capture the mysterious beast before it destroys their home.
Fawn, who sees a tender heart beneath his gruff exterior, must convince Tink and the girls to risk everything to rescue the NeverBeast before time runs out.

Sons of Anarchy fans, don’t forget to extend tonight’s DVR settings to include the “Anarchy Afterword” post-episode show. SoA creator Kurt Sutter will be taking over the job of hosting the talk show and will be joined by series stars Charlie Hunnam and Tommy Flanagan (please don’t let this mean Chibs bites the dust tonight!) as well as Kim Coates and Walton Goggins.
Tonight’s wrap-up show, which will mark Sutter’s first time moderating the roundtable discussion, will air immediately following the seventh season’s 10th episode titled “Faith and Despondency.”
“I’ve always wanted my own talk show – where people are forced to listen to me,” commented Sutter. “This is the closest I’ll ever get. Plus, we’ll talk about some SOA stuff.”
The basic plotline of tonight’s episode reads as followed: “Love is in the air for SAMCRO members but death wins the day.” Nothing about that short-but-sweet synopsis should come as a shocker as it’s obvious we’re going to lose a few more SAMCRO members (and maybe even their loved ones, if Sutter decides to kill off Gemma) before the series finale airs.
The Flash continues to be a ratings winner for The CW and one of the few new 2014 fall shows critics and viewers pretty much agree deserved a full first season order. The series continues tonight at 8pm ET/PT with episode five titled “Plastique,” directed by Dermott Downs from a script by Aaron Helbing, Todd Helbing, and Brooke Eikmeier.
The “Plastique” Plot:
KELLY FRYE GUEST STARS AS DC COMICS’ PLASTIQUE AND CLANCY BROWN GUEST STARS AS GENERAL EILING — After a bomb goes off downtown, the army, led by General Eiling (guest star Clancy Brown), rolls in and takes over the case, much to Joe’s (Jesse Martin) surprise. Suspicious, Joe tells Barry (Grant Gustin) that he and his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs should look into the army’s involvement. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) informs the team that Eiling was experimenting on his men to turn them into super soldiers. Cisco (Carlos Valdes) confirms one of Eiling’s soldiers, Bette Sans Souci (guest star Kelly Frye), was at the bomb site.
The Flash tracks her down and realizes that she’s not setting off the bombs, she is a meta-human who can blow things up just by touching them. Meanwhile, when Joe learns Iris is writing about “the streak,” he tells Barry to make her stop. Barry realizes Iris won’t listen to him so he decides to have The Flash pay her a visit.

Graceland fans won’t be left wondering what happened to Mike (Aaron Tveit) at the hands of Sid (Carmine Giovinazzo) following the season two cliffhanger as USA Network has officially confirmed the series will be back for a third season. Season two of the drama from creator/executive producer Jeff Eastin averaged 2.6 million viewers and starred Daniel Sunjata, Aaron Tveit, Vanessa Ferlito, Brandon Jay McLaren, Serinda Swan, and Manny Montana. The main cast is expected to return for the 13-episode season three.
“This season of Graceland took viewers on a wild ride with unexpected character twists and a heart-stopping cliffhanger that left a lead character’s fate in question,” explained USA Network President Chris McCumber. “Jeff Eastin and the talented ensemble cast deliver on all levels, and season three will undoubtedly continue to keep us on the edge of our seats.”
And Nancy Cotton, Fox Television Studios’ Senior Vice President, Programming, added, “FTVS truly values the long and fruitful relationship we have with Jeff and USA. We could not be more excited to bring USA viewers another thrilling season of Graceland.”
The Plot:
The sophomore season followed the dangerous lives of six undercover federal agents living together in a government-seized Southern California beachfront house. These FBI, DEA and ICE agents, whose lies are their lives, struggled to maintain a sense of normalcy. This was especially challenging when former FBI rookie, Mike Warren returned to Graceland to run point on a dangerous mission against the cartel. Briggs (Sunjata), still concerned about the missing recording that implicated him in a murder, attempted to clean up his life and repair his relationships. The season ended with a stunning cliffhanger: Sid smothering a hospitalized Mike as Briggs raced to try to save him from Sid’s deadly hands.

Cocked
Created by Sam Baum (Lie to Me) and Sam Shaw (Manhattan), Cocked stars Sam Trammell (True Blood) as Richard Paxson, a family man and corporate lap dog who left his family in rural Virginia twenty years before and vowed never to go back. After some unfortunate circumstances, he is forced to leave the big city and return home to help his family’s gun business—one of the oldest in the country. But no good deed goes unpunished. Older brother Grady Paxson, played by Jason Lee (My Name is Earl), who’s a bachelor, playboy and gun aficionado, isn’t so happy to have him back, and Richard’s liberal wife and two opinionated teenage children are horrified by the world they have been thrown into. Hilarity, epic fights and emotional breakdowns ensue. Cocked also stars Brian Dennehy as Wade Paxson, Laura Fraser as Hannah Paxson, and Dreama Walker as Tabby Paxson. The hour-long dark comedy pilot is directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Skull Island), and Erwin Stoff (Unbroken), Shaw, and Baum are Executive Producers.
Down Dog
Blessed with good looks, a winning smile, hippie parents and a Southern California upbringing, life has been relatively easy thus far for Logan Wood (played by Josh Casaubon, I Just Want My Pants Back). In his late 30’s, having coasted through romances with countless women and various random jobs, he now teaches yoga to the trophy wives, hot moms and aspiring celebrities of Santa Monica and Venice Beach. And he’s damn good at it. But when Logan and his current girlfriend, a successful and attractive older woman named Amanda (Paget Brewster) who happens to be the owner of the yoga studio, break up, life starts to get more complicated.

Based on the hit UK series, Mad Dogs follows the twisted reunion of a group of underachieving forty-something friends—a mixture of single, married and recently divorced—who are all at different crossroads in their lives. Celebrating the early retirement of an old friend at his gorgeous Belize villa, grudges begin to emerge and secrets explode as their trip becomes a labyrinthine nightmare of lies, deception and murder.

The Man in the High Castle
Based on Philip K. Dick’s Hugo Award-winning 1962 alternative history, The Man in the High Castle considers the question of what would have happened if the Allied Powers had lost World War II. Some 20 years after that loss, the United States and much of the world has now been split between Japan and Germany, the major hegemonic states. But the tension between these two powers is mounting, and this stress is playing out in the western U.S. Through a collection of characters in various states of posing (spies, sellers of falsified goods, others with secret identities), The Man in the High Castle provides an intriguing tale about life and history as it relates to authentic and manufactured reality. The hour-long dramatic pilot stars Alexa Davalos as Juliana Crain, Luke Kleintank as Joe Blake, Rupert Evans as Frank Frink, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Tagomi, Joel De La Fuente as Inspector Kido, Rufus Sewell as John Smith and DJ Qualls as Ed McCarthy.

At battle against his northern brethren and his best friend and brother-in-law Robert Sumner (Christopher O’Shea), John leaves his three strong-willed sisters at home to run the plantation that is now without a free labor source. The choice to protect the life they have always known and defend the moral high ground will pit the family against one another and test their strength, courage and love.

Starz’ new dramatic thriller The Missing is an intense, riveting exploration of what happens to a husband and wife when their only child goes missing. Debuting on November 15, 2014 at 9pm ET/PT, The Missing stars Frances O’Connor and James Nesbitt as the couple whose son is taken while they’re on vacation. And in support of the show’s upcoming premiere, I had the opportunity to speak with Frances O’Connor about her role, the subject matter, her co-stars, and playing the character during two very different periods in her life.
The Plot: “The eight-episode limited series takes you inside the mind of Tony Hughes (James Nesbitt), a father desperate to locate his lost son, Oliver. With help from a renowned detective (Tchéky Karyo), Tony embarks on an obsessive eight-year quest to find his son and those responsible for his disappearance. A gripping puzzle with twists and turns at every stage, Tony’s exhaustive search fractures his relationship with his wife, Emily (Frances O’Connor), and threatens to destroy his life. Told through a complex narrative, The Missing is set in France and London and unfolds over two time frames, simultaneously.”
Exclusive Frances O’Connor Interview
Were you hooked reading the first script? Did you immediately know The Missing would be something special?
Frances O’Connor: “I really just felt like from the moment I read the script I did think it was quite special. I really love the characters.”
Even though the script was so well written, did you have any hesitation about signing on given how emotionally intense the subject matter is?
Frances O’Connor: “I think if the material had been less quality than it was, I may have reconsidered. I think intellectually I knew it was going to be difficult but I think it wasn’t until we’re actually in there and playing it that I actually felt that. I think I really had contemplated what I was getting myself involved with and I think Jimmy felt the same way about it.
We were supported by the script and the material, which was really authentic. I felt like in some ways it helped you because they were well written. Tom [Shankland], the director, was really supportive. Also, because James was going through the same thing…he’s a dad as well and I’m a mom, so we helped each other through some scenes. We had some really tough days.”
I would imagine you had a lot of tough days of shooting. There really are no light moments.
Frances O’Connor: “No. Often you look at scripts and you’ll see a couple of days where you’re like, ‘Okay, that’s heavy. That’s a heavy day.’ This is just like you’d finished a really heavy day and look at tomorrow’s schedule and you take a big breath.”
Is doing something this emotionally intense more draining on you than doing physically demanding films?
Frances O’Connor: “Yes. I think they both take a lot out of you. I think because emotionally you do have to go to quite a dark place, I did find it very draining. But I did find it energizing in terms of the creativity. It was such a creative process. Everybody in it was just excellent and that really did help lift you up, I think, because everyone was really going for it every day.”
Was there anything in particular about your character Emily that you would really latch onto?
Frances O’Connor: “I didn’t know the story as it was unfolding. I was really intrigued about how different she was in 2006 and 2014 and what had caused that. I thought that the evolution of the character was really intriguing to me. That also is one of the reasons I wanted to do it because creatively, it was a fun to work out – the differences between the two characters just physically and how she moved and how she looked and that kind of thing, how she behaved.”
Your character even more so than James Nesbitt’s character is really two different people. Which of the two did you find more interesting to play?
Frances O’Connor: “I really love both of them, I think, in different ways. Because she’s eight years older in 2014 and she’s been through a horrific incident and the process through those eight years is trying to move on on some level but she can’t. In 2006 at the start of it she’s young and nothing bad has ever happened to her yet and she’s so in love with her child. I don’t know. It’s really hard to say this. I think they’re both really great. I did think of them in some ways different characters and I really enjoyed playing both of them for different reasons. I think the crew liked 2006 Emily more than 2014.”
James said that because you shot the 2014 storyline first, the two of you were able to develop a bond that actually worked well for the 2006 scenes. Did you feel that way too?
Frances O’Connor: “I did. I think because we’d had all that time together, when we came to do the stuff… We’re divorced in 2014 but when we came to do the 2006 stuff I just thought we trusted each other and we can push each other and really go for it. You felt supported by other person. Maybe it would have been a different result if they’d shot it the other way. It’s hard to know.”
Did you develop a backstory for what Emily was like before we meet her in 2006?
Frances O’Connor: “Yeah, we did. We had a week of rehearsal which is quite rare and we sat with Tom and talked about what kind of life she would have had and where she went to school and her relationship with her parents, and what was her inner life like. That kind of thing which really helped, I think, for a starting point.”
Can you talk about working with this director? James Nesbitt said he was pretty phenomenal.
Frances O’Connor: “Yeah. I really do think he’s one of the best directors I’ve worked with. He’s a great combination of being really creative but also he was so on top of the narrative for all the characters. He had such a big workload but he was great. He’s a super creative person and really supportive too. He had some tricky stuff to shoot, but you always felt like he had your back and was just watching you. He just watched every detail and helped you get to some of the places you need to go. He’s amazing.”
Frances O’Connor: “I didn’t want to talk to anyone because I thought it was a bit invasive but I did read a book that was a mother’s account of what happened. I ultimately felt that wasn’t so helpful because I felt the scripts were so good. I just instantly connected to who the character was and there was so much in there that helped you. I also just immediately identified with what it would be like to lose a child. I’m sure every parent could identify with the paranoia if that would happen.”
Was there anything in the book you read that you used for the character?
Frances O’Connor: “That it’s such a long process. You’re in it every day and the horror of that, it’s such a long grind through it. You never get away from it. The see-sawing between hope and despair, I think, is what kills all those people. Wanting to hope but knowing there’s a possibility it won’t end well. I think that’s the big thing, and especially if it’s years and years later.”
Did working on this make you hug your child a bit tighter?
Frances O’Connor: “It did, yeah. And because we’re away Monday to Friday in Belgium for it, my poor son, he’s like, ‘Chillax mom!'”
Just reading the synopsis makes The Missing sound like a crime drama, but it’s really a character-driven story. How do you describe what it is that sets it apart from other TV series that could possibly be similar?
Frances O’Connor: “I think it’s probably more like an emotional thriller, like a multi-stranded emotional thriller.”
Your co-stars said there’s a possibility there’s going to be more than one season. Do you think that there’s good material left for season two?
Frances O’Connor: “The way it ends indicates there could be more.”
Without giving anything away…
Frances O’Connor: “…Without giving anything away. I don’t know about Emily. I felt like her storyline in it is so complete. I don’t know. I can definitely see how there could be a second series, but I don’t know how involved Emily would be. But you never say never because people always come up with great ideas.”
Is she a character you wouldn’t mind getting back into again?
Frances O’Connor: “Yes, I think because it wouldn’t necessarily be the devastation emotionally as devastating as it was played in 2006. I don’t know. It’s hard to say. I have to read the scripts.”
Do you think that the writing on television is now actually of higher quality than feature films?
Frances O’Connor: “Yeah, definitely. It’s matured so much and there’s just a bit of creative explosion going on in television at the moment. I think it’s a great format because it’s kind of longer storytelling and you can be more detailed in how you work and you can work the story in so many different ways, I think. Whereas film has to have a very strong linear narrative a lot of the time. Also, any big budget film has to make a certain amount of money back. I think the constraint from that has an impact on the storytelling. I think in television people can take more risks. Audiences love it; they just go for it. Audiences are quite sophisticated, too, in terms of you don’t have to spoon-feed them anymore.”
Exactly. This is a type of series that I would love to binge-watch every episode because I really want to know what’s happening next.
Frances O’Connor: [Laughing] “I felt like that when I was reading it. I had to call my agent and ask them to send more of scripts. I need to know what happened.”

If all the pre-release hype can be believed, The Weinstein Company’s The Imitation Game will be a major player in this year’s awards race. Benedict Cumberbatch seems to be on everyone’s shortlist for Oscar consideration, and the film has also been mentioned as being a Best Picture contender. And with the movie opening in just a few weeks, the studio’s just unveiled a new clip featuring Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Strong, and Keira Knightley.
The Imitation Game is opening on November 28, 2014.
The Plot:
During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himself on charges of ‘gross indecency’, an accusation that would lead to his devastating conviction for the criminal offense of homosexuality little did officials know, they were actually incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing.
Famously leading a motley group of scholars, linguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of Germany’s World War II Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayal of a brilliant, complicated man, The Imitation Game follows a genius who under nail-biting pressure helped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of lives.
