Movie star Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), together with his boys, Eric (Kevin Connolly), Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) and Johnny (Kevin Dillon), are back…and back in business with super agent-turned-studio head Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven). Some of their ambitions have changed, but the bond between them remains strong as they navigate the capricious and often cutthroat world of Hollywood.

The last time we saw Ari Gold, he had retired from Hollywood and moved to Italy. This is the story of how he came back.

Bill Paxton To Star in History Channel’s Event Series TEXAS RISING

bill paxton

Actor Bill Paxton is heading from the McCoy family patriarch of Kentucky to starring in The History Channel’s eight-hour television event series TEXAS RISING. Premiering Memorial Day 2015, the series will detail the Texas Revolution and the rise of the legendary Texas Rangers.

Paxton received Emmy and Screen Actors Guild nominations for playing “Randall McCoy” in The History Channel’s mega successful HATFIELDS & MCCOYS. The mini-series won five Emmy Awards.

Two-time Oscar-nominated director Roland Joffé (THE KILLING FIELDS, THE MISSION) is directing with an all-star cast which includes Paxton, Brendan Fraser, Ray Liotta, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Olivier Martinez, Thomas Jane, Crispin Glover, Rhys Coiro, Jeremy Davies, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Christopher McDonald, Max Thieriot, Chad Michael Murray, Robert Knepper, Jeff Fahey, Rob Morrow and Kris Kristofferson.

In 1836, west of the Mississippi was considered the Wild West and the Texas frontier was viewed as hell on earth. Crushed from the outside by Mexican armadas and attacked from within by ferocious Comanche tribes – no one was safe. But this was a time of bravery, a time to die for what you believed in and a time to stand tall against the cruel rule of the Mexican General Santa Anna. The heroic General Sam Houston, the rag tag Rangers and the legendary “Yellow Rose of Texas,” lead this story of the human will to win against insurmountable odds. At the end, the Texas flags stood tall and victorious, claiming a piece of history for all eternity.

TEXAS RISING is produced by A+E Studios and ITV Studios America in association with Thinkfactory Media for HISTORY. Leslie Greif (HATFIELDS & MCCOYS) is executive producer.

30 DAYS OF NIGHT Sequel Starts Production

30 days of night

I’d like to take this time to express how much I really like 30 DAYS OF NIGHT.  Highly suspenseful and even a little bit scary a time or two, the film delivered exactly what it set out to deliver.  While it’s not a great film by any stretch of the imagination, it certainly isn’t predictable,  repetitive and vile as Richard Roeper described it.

So, having said that, why am I not more excited that a sequel has begun principal photography?  I’ll tell you why.  Because this is Ghost House throwing a follow-up together with about as much forethought as shotgun wedding.  It’s going to be straight to DVD (this is already planned), it features actors you’ve rarely seen recently outside of secondary TV roles, and the premise just sounds like a direct-to-DVD premise.  Granted, it is based on Dark Days, the follow-up graphic novel that features Stella travelling to Los Angeles to seek out and destroy more vampires.  That doesn’t mean it should be adapted to film, particularly if you’re not getting Melissa George back to play the lead character.

30 DAYS OF NIGHT: DARK DAYS stars Kiele Sanchez (“Lost”), Diora Baird (THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING), Rhys Coiro (“Entourage” and “24”), Mia Kirshner (“The L Word”) and Harold Perrineau (“Lost” and “Oz”).  Production is taking place in Vancouver under the direction of first-time feature film director Ben Ketai.  A street date has not been announced.
