Fans of the buddy drama Franklin & Bash should be happy to know TNT will be renewing the series for a fourth season. According to the network, the fourth season will consist of 10 episodes and will air next summer.

Breckin Meyer and Mark-Paul Gosselaar will be returning to star in the series along with Malcolm McDowell and Reed Diamond. The show, which is executive produced by Jamie Tarses, Kevin Falls, and Bill Chais, has been averaging 3.4 million viewers.

The Plot: “Franklin & Bash centers on Jared Franklin (Meyer) and Peter Bash (Gosselaar), two young, fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants street lawyers who caused a seismic culture clash when they joined Infeld-Daniels, a legendary, button-down law firm. The patriarch of the firm – the brilliant and eccentrically spontaneous Renaissance man Stanton Infeld (McDowell) – hired them because he admires how Jared sticks it to authority every chance he gets and how Peter is able to forge a personal connection with both judge and jury.

Since hanging their shingle at Infeld-Daniels, Peter and Jared have repeatedly butted heads with fellow lawyers, especially Damien Karp (Diamond), who disapproves of their casual style and law-skirting methods. Karp also happens to be Stanton Infeld’s nephew.”

All is Lost Poster Starring Robert RedfordRobert Redford and writer/director J.C. Chandor take viewers behind the scenes into the shooting of All is Lost, a one-man movie featuring Redford stranded alone at sea with the odds of his survival stacked against him. Lionsgate & Roadside Attractions are releasing the dramatic thriller in theaters on October 18, 2013.
 
The Plot:
 
Deep into a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, an unnamed man (Redford) wakes to find his 39-foot yacht taking on water after a collision with a shipping container left floating on the high seas. With his navigation equipment and radio disabled, the man sails unknowingly into the path of a violent storm. Despite his success in patching the breached hull, his mariner’s intuition, and a strength that belies his age, the man barely survives the tempest.
 
Using only a sextant and nautical maps to chart his progress, he is forced to rely on ocean currents to carry him into a shipping lane in hopes of hailing a passing vessel. But with the sun unrelenting, sharks circling and his meager supplies dwindling, the ever-resourceful sailor soon finds himself staring his mortality in the face.

The Outlander cast continues to grow, with the latest new member of the ensemble being Laura Donnelly who’s signed up to play Jenny Fraser. The Starz series is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica) and will premiere in 2014.

Filming is now underway in Scotland.

The Plot [Courtesy of Starz]:

The Outlander series spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history, and adventure in one epic tale. It follows the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened.

When she is forced to marry Jamie Fraser, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire’s heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

Jenny Fraser Murray is Jamie Fraser’s older sister, and surrogate mother in many ways. She shares Jamie’s stubborn and quick-tempered character, which causes the siblings to butt heads from time to time. Jenny is also smart, experienced and skilled, running Lallybroch (the Fraser ancestral home) when Jamie is away. Jenny is married to Jamie’s best friend, Ian Murray. When the series begins they have one child and a second child on the way.

Cassie Scerbo took on flying flesh-eating sharks (I really wanted to type fish, but couldn’t) in Syfy’s Sharknado and now the network says she’ll be battling “sea vampires” in Beast of the Bering Sea. No, this isn’t a joke nor is it an early April Fool’s Day prank.

Beast of the Bering Sea will debut on November 9, 2013 at 9pm ET/PT and will co-star Jonathan Lipnicki and Kevin Dobson. According to Syfy, Beast of the Bering Sea has Scerbo and Lipnicki playing “a sister and brother team prospecting for gold, who accidentally disturb a colony of blood-sucking amphibious predators (sea vampires) in an underwater cave.”

Syfy also revealed the details on Stonados airing on November 23rd at 9pm and starring Paul Johanssen, William B Davis, and Thea Gill. Stonados is…wait for it…are you ready?…. “a disaster movie about a freak weather system which hurls deadly boulders.”

Endless Love Movie Trailer

Yes, that’s an exaggeration, but it does seem that be the time the two-minute trailer for the new Endless Love is over, we’ve been treated to pretty much the entire film. And for those of you who missed it, the original Endless Love was released way back in 1981 and starred Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt as 15 and 17-year-olds who fall in love and are kept apart by the girl’s parents. The new version finds 24-year-old Gabriella Wilde and 23-year-old Alex Pettyfer taking over the lead roles (and it appears the characters in the remake have been aged up).

Directed by Shana Feste (Country Strong), Endless Love arrives in theaters on February 14, 2014.

An interesting side note: Gabriella Wilde also has a starring role in another remake of a popular movie featuring high school kids, Carrie.

The Plot: Endless Love stars Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike) and Gabriella Wilde (The Three Musketeers) in the story of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart.
