Hollywood Pitches: ‘Back To The Future IV: Bif’s Neanderthal Revenge’

Posted: 29 Jun 2010 07:53 PM PDT

It's been 20 years since the third and final Back To The Future movie was released and since then there's been a major void in the franchise. Sure there was a short-lived animated series, and yeah, Universal Studios theme parks had a BTTF ride, but not everyone got to experience that; plus, it was closed down back in 2007, so now the fans have nothing.

With the 25th anniversary this Saturday of the release of the first movie, it's no surprise that some Hollywood types would be clamoring to get a BTTF: Part IV into development asap. Below is a transcript of secretly-taped conversation between two producers discussing their grand plans for a new sequel, Back to the Future IV: Bif's Neanderthal Revenge. [Hey, at least it's not plans for a remake!] [...]

Hulu Offers Subscription Service With Huluplus

Posted: 29 Jun 2010 06:37 PM PDT

We have known that popular internet television site Hulu was going to a subscription model for a while now. What we didn't know is how paid Hulu would be different from free Hulu. Well, the curtain has just been lifted with Huluplus. You can check out the site to see the list of much of the content that is being offered, and it's quite extensive.

The big thing for me is that having the subscription will open up Hulu to new devises, like, the PS3 come this July and the Xbox 360 in early 2011. That's right Hulu, with more content, right into your living room through your gaming console.

We were teased that Hulu's subscription service was coming to one of these devices, but I never thought it would come to both! Very impressive, I do not think cable companies will like this one bit, and soon enough I may be canceling my cable all together. What about you? Interested in giving Hulu ten bucks a month instead of paying a cable provider? Watch the video below and see if Huluplus is for you [...]

Jon Tenney To Play Hal Jordan’s Dad In ‘Green Lantern’ Movie

Posted: 29 Jun 2010 05:20 PM PDT

The Closer's Jon Tenney has joined the cast of the Green Lantern film as Hal Jordan's dad Martin Jordan.

Tenney is only 15 years older than the adult Hal Jordan, Ryan Reynolds, so his scenes will take place in the past when Hal Jordan is still a young boy.

I think this is a good casting decision. I enjoy Jon Tenney on The Closer and I see a bit of a resemblance between Tenney and Reynolds. This production has continued to make good casting choices such as this one, Ryan Reynolds, and Angela Bassett. I am looking forward to this film next year [...]

Great News Everyone: New ‘Futurama’ Pulls In Big Numbers For Comedy Central

Posted: 29 Jun 2010 10:39 AM PDT

This past Thursday, the brand new episodes of Futurama we've spoken so much about (and begged you to watch) debuted on Comedy Central!

For fans all across the land, the ultimate concern was not only whether we could help deliver the numbers that would see more new seasons of the animated futuristic comedy ordered, but if we'd help it to even achieve the 26-episode order that Fox had pushed through!

Now comes words that will comfort your worried minds: Futurama did well in its return to TV, and it even took in some records for Comedy Central.

According to Nielsen Media Research, Futurama's two-episode, one-hour premier on Thursday averaged a fantastic 2.9 million viewers and a 1.9 rating among people ages 18-49! Not only that, but it was tied for the highest-rated show on Thursday among adults aged 18-49, and the absolute highest-rated show among us gentlemen aged 18-34. Comedy Central also shared that Futurama made two huge impacts in its sixth season debut: for one, it was the highest rated night of the year so far; for two, it was the networks very best Thursday night performance of ALL time.

Steve Carell To Leave ‘The Office’ After Next Season

Posted: 29 Jun 2010 08:26 AM PDT

One of the more popular shows on TV is NBC's The Office, which is an American remake of the UK's hit BBC series of the same name. While that show starred Ricky Gervais in the lead role, Steve Carell was the main man of our own Office series.

While speaking to US Magazine on the red carpet for his new animated film, Despicable Me, Carell made things very clear. "Yes, it will be my last [season]. It's the last on my contract, and I want to honor my contract. I am excited -- just so I can spend more time with my family. I'm sure I'm going to be very nostalgic; I mean, these are some of my best friends in the world! But it will be good -- it will be good for everybody."

Carell has played Michael Scott, office manager of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, for 116 episodes and 6 seasons so far. The most recent season ended on May 20th of 2010, and another new season had already been ordered by then. The 7th season is set to begin this upcoming fall television series, which does look to be Carell's last, according to him anyway. [...]
