New Poster Arrives for Under the Skin with Scarlett Johansson

By
Rebecca Murray
-

Scarlett Johansson stars in director Jonathan Glazer’s new sci-fi drama Under the Skin coming to theaters in April 2014. The Sexy Beast director’s latest movie is based on the Michel Faber novel and has already had a run on the festival circuit, earning nominations for Glazer as best director and Johansson as best actress at the British Independent Film Awards. Under the Skin also earned best film nominations at the 2013 London Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival.
 
The Plot:
 
From visionary director Jonathan Glazer comes a stunning career transformation, a masterpiece of existential science fiction that journeys to the heart of what it means to be human, extraterrestrial — or something in between. A voluptuous woman of unknown origin (Johansson) combs the highways in search of isolated or forsaken men, luring this succession of lost souls into an otherworldly lair. They are seduced, stripped of their humanity, and never heard from again. Under the Skin examines human experience from the perspective of an unforgettable heroine who grows too comfortable in her borrowed skin, until she is abducted into humanity with devastating results.

Sundance Winner 20,000 Days on Earth Finds a Home a Drafthouse Films

20,000 Days on Earth Picked Up by Drafthouse
A scene from '20,000 Days on Earth'
Hot off its win in the best directing and best editing categories at the Sundance Film Festival, the documentary 20,000 Days on Earth has been picked up for North American distribution. Drafthouse Films is eyeing a 2014 theatrical release of the film which features musician Nick Cave.
 
Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard made their feature film debut with 20,000 Days on Earth. Nick Cave and Warren Ellis composed the original score, and James Wilson and Dan Bowen served as producers.
 
Forsyth and Pollard actually began filming Cave as he was writing 2013’s Push the Sky Away without knowing what they would ultimately do with the footage. Cave also gave them access to his personal notebooks. “We were able to trace the transformation of his ideas,” said Forsyth. “We found disparate phrases which instantly sparked ideas that excited us. This included a calculation to work out how many days he had been alive on the day they started recording the album, next to the unusually coined phrase ‘20,000 days on earth.'”
 
Pollard added, “We began to work with the idea of what makes us who we are and what we do with our time on earth.”
 
“I’ve always liked their unorthodox approach to things,” explained Cave about the filmmakers.
 
“I am among many who consider Nick Cave the unofficial poet laureate of the modern age,” said Drafthouse Films founder Tim League. “While his music fans are already eagerly anticipating this release, I am personally excited to share this riveting portrait of a modern creative genius with a much wider audience.”

HBO’s new half-hour series Silicon Valley will premiere on April 6, 2014 and the network’s just launched a trailer in support of the upcoming debut. Created by Mike Judge (Beavis & Butthead, King of the Hill), Silicon Valley stars Thomas Middleditch, Josh Brener, Martin Starr, Kumail Nanjiani, Amanda Crew, Zack Woods, Matt Ross, T.J Miller, and Christopher Evan Welch.
 
The Plot:
 
Richard (Middleditch) is an introverted computer programmer living in the Hacker Hostel start-up incubator along with his best friend, Big Head (Brener), pompous Gilfoyle (Starr) and dry-witted Dinesh (Nanjiani). These social misfits live under the watch of Erlich (Miller), a self-satisfied dotcom millionaire who lets them stay in his house for free – as long as he gets a ten percent stake in their projects.
 
After a failed pitch to billionaire venture capitalist Peter Gregory (Welch), Richard seems destined to remain at his job at the tech company Hooli, founded by the megalomaniacal Gavin Belson (Ross). When Monica (Crew), Gregory’s head of operations, and Jared (Woods), a Hooli executive, realize the value of the site’s compression algorithm, a bidding war erupts between Belson and Gregory, with Richard caught in the middle.

Jimmy Fallon’s ‘Late Night’ Finale Sets New Records

Andy Samberg and Jimmy Fallon Late Night's Final Show

The February 7, 2014 episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon earned the show’s highest ratings since David Letterman said goodbye to the late-night series back in 1993. February 7th marked Jimmy Fallon’s final episode of the series before taking over The Tonight Show job from Jay Leno, and fans tuned in in huge numbers to send him off.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon‘s last episode featured special guests Andy Samberg and The Muppets.

Here’s the scoop on Fallon’s final Late Night show, courtesy of NBC:

Jimmy Fallon’s final telecast hosting Late Night with Jimmy Fallon has set series records for biggest overall audience on any night of the week and highest adult 18-49 rating for a regularly scheduled episode. In fact, it was the biggest total-viewer result for the Late Night franchise since 1993 and highest 18-49 rating for a regularly scheduled telecast since 2004.

With a 12:05-1:05 a.m. ET telecast that followed NBC’s coverage of the Sochi Olympics Opening Ceremony, Fallon averaged a 2.2 rating in adults 18-49 and 6.601 million viewers overall, according to fast-official “live plus same day” ratings from Nielsen Media Research.

It’s the biggest overall audience ever for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, eclipsing the prior record set with a special 11:56 p.m. ET telecast on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012 (6.087 million viewers).

It’s the biggest viewership for the Late Night franchise since June 25, 1993 (the final David Letterman-hosted episode, 7.521 million).

In adults 18-49, it’s the second-highest Late Night with Jimmy Fallon rating ever, behind only the post-Super Bowl telecast on Feb. 5, 2012 (2.5) and the highest-ever for a regularly scheduled Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Additionally, it’s the top regularly scheduled episode in the Late Night franchise in 18-49 since May 6, 2004 (the night of the Friends finale, 2.7).

Fallon’s 2.2 more than tripled the show’s 0.6 season average in adults 18-49 heading into this week (through Feb. 2), and last night’s telecast was up 246% versus the Late Night season average of 1.909 million in total viewers (L+SD).

In national averages heading into this week, Fallon was at a four-year high at this point in the season in viewers 18-49, while in total viewers, Fallon was delivering his top average at 19 weeks into the season in the five years he’s been hosting Late Night. Versus the first 19 weeks of the year-ago season, Fallon was up 20% in 18-49 viewers (815,000 vs. 682,000 in “most current” season averages) and up 17% in total viewers (2.012 million vs. 1.719 million, “most current”).

Jimmy Fallon Exits ‘Late Night’ With Help from The Muppets

So long, good-bye, and farewell to Jimmy Fallon – or at least to Fallon as the host of Late Night. Seth Meyers has big shoes to fill when he takes over the hosting gig, but Fallon has even larger shoes to step into as he transitions to The Tonight Show hosting job following the retirement of Jay Leno.

Fallon chose to finish up his final show by joining The Muppets for “The Weight” by The Band. And as we’ve come to expect from Fallon, the performance was excellent and a terrific end to his successful run as Late Night host.
