Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit PosterParamount Pictures has set a Christmas Day release date for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit and they’ve just unveiled a new poster and trailer for action film. Based on the character created by author Tom Clancy who unfortunately passed away this week, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is an original story and the first film of the franchise reboot to feature Chris Pine (Star Trek) in the lead role. Directed by and co-starring Kenneth Branagh, the cast also includes Kevin Costner and Keira Knightley.

The story follows Jack Ryan from 9/11, through his tour of duty in Afghanistan, which scarred him forever, and into his early days in the Financial Intelligence Unit of the modern CIA where he becomes an analyst, under the guardianship of his handler, Harper (Costner). When Ryan believes he’s uncovered a Russian plot to collapse the United States economy, he goes from being an analyst to becoming a spy and must fight to save his own life and those of countless others, while also trying to protect the thing that’s more important to him than anything, his relationship with his fiancée Cathy (Knightley).

Jack Bauer is heading to London in 24: Live Another Day, the return of the Emmy-winning drama series that ended in May 2010 after eight seasons. Kiefer Sutherland reprises his role and executive produces the new 12-episode Jack Bauer international adventure coming to Fox next summer.

“24 has always had such a global sensibility,” said Sutherland. “But to be able to tell this intense 24-style story with the beauty of Europe’s history and architecture as the backdrop is going to be fascinating. Hopefully, by the time you’re finished watching an episode, you’ll feel like you’ve been there…on the edge of your seat.”

Co-showrunner/executive producer Evan Katz added, “We wanted the show’s return to be an event, and part of that was putting Jack in a very different context. Four years ago, we left Jack a fugitive from justice and we’re going to pick him up four years later in London.”

“Jack is soon back on the run and it takes us into the streets of London and in places that break new ground for the show. We’ve shot in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and Cape Town — but now we’re in London and Jack’s loose on the streets of Europe, hunted by and hunting bad guys,” said Manny Coto, executive producer and showrunner.




Fox is Sticking with Sleepy Hollow

Fox Renews Sleepy Hollow for Season 2

Yes! I did not jinx Fox’s Sleepy Hollow by including it on my favorite new fall series list. I always worry about getting involved with a new show because more often than not, the network yanks it off the air without giving it a chance to catch on with viewers. Fortunately, Fox not only will be airing all of the episodes it ordered for season one of Sleepy Hollow, the network brass has already confirmed the show will return for season two.
 
Announcing the renewal, Fox Broadcasting Company’s Chairman of Entertainment Kevin Reilly said, “The show has proven to be a risk well worth taking – it’s a conceptual blast unlike anything else on television and it all holds together with inventive writing and a fantastic cast. I can’t wait for fans to experience what else is in store for this fall and even more of this wild ride into Season Two.”
 
Since premiering on September 16, 2013, Sleepy Hollow has already collected an audience of 22 million. It’s one of the network’s most successful dramatic series premieres since 2001’s debut of 24 and after debuting strong, viewers aren’t slipping away and instead the audience is sticking with the show.
 
Sleepy Hollow was co-created by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Phillip Iscove and Len Wiseman, with Wiseman directing the first episode.
 
Details on Sleepy Hollow:
 
Sleepy Hollow is a thrilling mystery-adventure drama series spanning two and a half centuries, in which a resurrected Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) pairs up with a present-day police lieutenant (Nicole Beharie) to save the enigmatic town of Sleepy Hollow – and the world – from unprecedented evil.

We got to see the spaceship up close and hear of Sir Richard’s incredible vision of how Virgin Galactic is the future of private space travel.

David Tennant will be reprising his role as Detective Alec Hardy for an American remake of the critically acclaimed ITV series, Broadchurch. The series, which also aired on BBC America, was created and executive produced by Chris Chibnall who’ll also be working on the Fox remake.
 
Filming’s expected to start in January with Fox eyeing a premiere of the series as part of the 2014-2015 season. And with Tennant signed up for the American version, it’s unclear whether he’ll be back for the second season of the original British series. It’s also unclear whether the remake will retain the Broadchurch title.
 
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Chibnall said he’s hoping this American version will as good as or even better than the British version. “I’m very, very fascinated to see this story in a different landscape with an acting ensemble that’s just as strong but taken from really great American actors,” stated Chibnall. “The DNA of the original is absolutely intact and filtered through a new prism, so it should still feel just as vibrant, and interesting, and strange, and unique, and beautiful, but just in a different setting — and then it’s exploring the dramatic opportunities that that offers up. We’re not gonna do the terrible version. We’re gonna do a great version.”
