Derek Hough Stars in the Dance Romance ‘Make Your Move’

Dancing with the Stars‘ Derek Hough transitions to dancing in feature films with Make Your Move from Step Up director Duane Adler. The romantic dance film teams Hough with Korean pop star BoA who’s making her English language movie debut in the April 18, 2014 release.

Napoleon Dumo and Tabitha Dumo (So You Think You Can Dance) handled the choreography.

The Plot: The music is pumping, the dance floor is moving, and Donny (Hough) stops when he sees Aya (BoA) performing with her hip-hop Cobu crew on stage at Static, the hottest underground club in New York. They come from two different worlds, but they speak the same language – dance. Against all odds, they come together and show the world what they’ve got in Make Your Move.

Filming will get underway next month in New York on Sharknado 2: The Second One and it’ll be with Sharknado stars Ian Ziering and Tara Reid playing Fin and April once again. The sequel, which will find innocent New Yorkers under attack by flying sharks, will be directed by Anthony Ferrante who also helmed the first film. Thunder Levin is back as screenwriter.
 
Syfy will premiere the Sharknado sequel in July.
 
“Sharknado was an extraordinary ‘perfect storm’ which captured the attention of movie fans across the globe,” said Thomas Vitale, Executive Vice President, Programming and Original Movies, Syfy. “You couldn’t go anywhere without hearing about Sharknado! By reassembling the creative team – and dropping sharks onto New York’s iconic sites – we’re unleashing yet another ‘fin’ wave of shark-mania.”
 
“We’re thrilled to be able to bring back the talent that made Sharknado a hit,” added Paul Bales, COO, The Asylum. “Can lightning strike twice? I don’t know, but it’s a scientific fact that you’re more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark. This film will have lightning and sharks, so that’s got to count for something.”
 
The Plot:
 
In Sharknado 2: The Second One, a freak weather system turns its deadly fury on New York City, unleashing a Sharknado on the population and its most cherished, iconic sites – and only Fin and April can save the Big Apple.

‘Da Vinci’s Demons’ – The Evolution of Lucrezia and Pope Sixtus

Starz is bringing back Da Vinci’s Demons for a second season beginning on March 22, 2014 at 9pm ET/PT, and to prepare viewers they’ve launched this new video focusing on Pope Sixtus (James Faulkner) and Lucrezia (Laura Haddock). Per the network: “Pope Sixtus is committed to expanding the church’s power; Lucrezia is committed to his demise. See where their interwoven stories take them in Season 2.”

Da Vinci’s Demons was created by David S. Goyer (the Dark Knight trilogy screenwriter) and examines genius Leonardo Da Vinci’s earlier life with Tom Riley playing the inventor.

The Plot: Brilliant and passionate, the 25-year-old Leonardo da Vinci (Tom Riley) is an artist, inventor, swordsman, lover, dreamer, and idealist. As a free thinker with intellect and talents that are almost superhuman, he struggles to live within the confines of his own reality and time.

Season two of Da Vinci’s Demons finds Florence thrown into chaos in the wake of the Pazzi conspiracy. Lorenzo is gravely ill and Leonardo da Vinci must push the limits of his mind and body to defend the city against the forces of Rome. While the Medicis go to unthinkable lengths to deal with new threats, da Vinci continues on his quest to find the fabled Book of Leaves and uncover the secret history of his mother. He’ll come to realize that he has lethal competition in his quest — new enemies who may be even worse than the forces of Pope Sixtus. His search will take him to faraway lands and force him to reevaluate everything he knew about the world and his own history.

The Plot:
 
From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series is a supernatural crime saga centered around bank robber, Seth Gecko (Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard “Richie” Gecko (Holtz), who are wanted by the FBI and Texas Rangers Earl McGraw (Johnson) and Freddie Gonzalez (Garcia) after a bank heist left several people dead. While on an escape route to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter former minister Jacob Fuller and his family who they take hostage. Using the family RV to make a run for the Mexican border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is unknowingly populated by vampires, and forces them to fight until dawn in order to get out alive. The series deepens the tone of the film, adds new characters and backstories and expands the Mesoamerican mythology behind the vampires.
