David Hyde Pierce Joins The Good Wife

Emmy winner David Hyde Pierce returns to series television for the first time since the critically acclaimed Frasier ended its run in 2004 with a recurring role in CBS’ The Good Wife. Pierce will be taking on the recurring role in the sixth season, playing “a highly respected cable news legal commentator who is so disgusted by the corruption and murder rate in Chicago that he decides to run for office in order to affect change.”

Season six will premiere on September 21, 2014 at 9:30pm ET, 9pm PT. The series stars Julianna Margulies, Christine Baranski, Matt Czuchry, Archie Panjabi, Makenzie Vega, Alan Cumming, Matthew Goode, and Zach Grenier.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled and flattered that David’s making The Good Wife his first TV role since Frasier,” said Executive Producers/Showrunners Robert and Michelle King. “We’re tremendous fans of his dramatic skills as well as his comedy.”

In addition to Frasier, Pierce’s credits include The Powers That Be, Little Man Tate, Sleepless in Seattle, Nixon, Full Frontal, A Bug’s Life, and Wet, Hot, American Summer.

Check Out the New Trailer and Poster for ‘Seventh Son’

I’m at the “I’ll believe it when I see the film’s title on the marquee of any theater” stage when it comes to Seventh Son. The film was shot back in early 2012 and delayed a few times, and then Legendary moved from partnering on releases with Warner Bros to a deal with Universal Pictures which also affected its release date. Hopefully, Seventh Son will finally get its theatrical release on February 6, 2015 and in support of its long-delayed release Legendary’s unveiled a new poster along with a brand new trailer.

Directed by Sergei Bodrov and based on the books by Joseph Delaney, the Seventh Son cast includes Jeff Bridges, Ben Barnes and Julianne Moore.

The Plot:

In a time of enchantments when legends and magic collide, the sole remaining warrior of a mystical order (Bridges) travels to find a prophesized hero born with incredible powers, the last Seventh Son (Barnes). Torn from his quiet life as a farmhand, the unlikely young hero embarks on a daring adventure with his battle-hardened mentor to vanquish a dark queen (Moore) and the army of supernatural assassins she has dispatched against their kingdom.

Power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have tied the knot during a private ceremony on August 23, 2014 in France. The couple exchanged vows at the Chateau Miraval with only a small group of family members and friends in attendance. A California judge performed the nondenominational ceremony.

Brad and Angelina’s children Maddox and Pax walked Jolie down the aisle, and Vivienne and Zahara threw petals, according to a report on NBC. Knox and Shiloh handled the ring bearer duties.

Pitt and Jolie have been dating since working together on the 2005 spy thriller Mr. and Mrs. Smith. They had hoped to hold off on marriage until it was legal for everyone to marry, however, their children wanted them to make it official. Brad proposed to Angelina in 2012, even helping to design the engagement ring, but the marriage ceremony itself was kept secret until after the fact.

Pitt was previously married to Jennifer Aniston. Jolie was married to Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.

Danielle Campbell Discusses ‘The Originals’ and Playing Davina

Danielle Campbell The Originals Interview Season 2

One of the best things about working on The CW’s The Originals is getting to be a part of the process of developing interesting and entertaining characters, according to Danielle Campbell who plays Davina on the popular series. So what can fans of the show expect to see happening with her character in season two? At the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con, Campbell said we can look forward to seeing a very different Davina than in season one.

“Davina in the first season was tossed around a lot and she was kind of everyone’s pawn in this big game that she had no control over. And this time in the second season, she’s grown up a lot and she’s a lot stronger and she’s really taking her own position on everything. She’s looking for revenge and a new character comes in and she’s smitten with him. His name’s Caleb and so that adds to her spin on things as well,” explained Campbell.

Watch the interview for more on what Campbell has to say about this upcoming second season of The Originals which premieres on October 6, 2014:

Steve Carell’s Front and Center on the ‘Foxcatcher’ Poster

Foxcatcher Theatrical Poster

Sony Pictures Classics’ possible Oscar contender Foxcatcher has unveiled a new poster featuring Steve Carell (looking nothing like his The Office character). Foxcatcher is inspired by a true story and stars Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo, Vanessa Redgrave, Sienna Miller, and Anthony Michael Hall.

Sony Pictures Classics is aiming for a November 14, 2014 theatrical release.

The Foxcatcher Plot:

Based on true events, Foxcatcher tells the dark and fascinating story of the unlikely and ultimately tragic relationship between an eccentric multi-millionaire and two champion wrestlers.

When Olympic Gold Medal-winning wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) is invited by wealthy heir John du Pont (Steve Carell) to move on to the du Pont estate and help form a team to train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics at his new state-of-the-art training facility, Schultz jumps at the opportunity, hoping to focus on his training and finally step out of the shadow of his revered brother, Dave (Mark Ruffalo).

Driven by hidden needs, du Pont sees backing Schultz’s bid for Gold and the chance to “coach” a world-class wrestling team as an opportunity to gain the elusive respect of his peers and, more importantly, his disapproving mother (Vanessa Redgrave).

Flattered by the attention and entranced by du Pont’s majestic world, Mark comes to see his benefactor as a father figure and grows increasingly dependent on him for approval. Though initially supportive, du Pont’s mercurial personality turns and he begins to lure Mark into an unhealthy lifestyle that threatens to undermine his training.

Soon du Pont’s erratic behavior and cruel psychological game-play begin to erode the athlete’s already shaky self-esteem. Meanwhile du Pont becomes fixated on Dave, who exudes the confidence both he and Mark lack, knowing that these are things even his money cannot buy. Fueled by du Pont’s increasing paranoia and alienation from the brothers, the trio is propelled towards a tragedy no one could have foreseen.
