TheToDoList-OneSht

In order to shed her uptight image before college, Valedictorian Brandy Klark creates a “to do list” of all the “activities” she missed out on in high school. Quickly realizing that she’s way out of her depth, Brandy solicits her two best friends, her older sister and her burnt-out boss for their help and advice. But even with the guidance of those closest to her, Brandy can’t foresee that emotions are not easily kept to the margins.

Featuring the hottest cast of the summer including Aubrey Plaza, Johnny Simmons, Bill Hader, Alia Shawkat, Sarah Steele, Scott Porter, Rachel Bilson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Andy Samberg, Donald Glover, with Connie Britton and Clark Gregg, THE TO DO LIST is a comedy set in 1993 about a Type A girl, her to do list, and all of the outrageous lessons she awkwardly learns over the summer between high school and college.

The film will be in theaters July 26th.

Enter for your chance to receive a pass (Good for 2) to the advance screening of THE TO DO LIST on July 22nd at 7:00 PM in St. Louis.

THE TO DO LIST marks the big screen debut of director, writer and comedian Maggie Carey. The Boise native graduated college and followed her love for comedy to the big city, New York City. The film, “is a classic coming-of-age comedy about a girl who wants to lose her virginity. What I wanted to capture is that feeling when you’re young and you want to know about something. You just want this information, but you really can’t know it until you have experienced it,” Carey says.

CAPTAIN AMERICA Candidates Down to 6

Sometimes when playing fantasy cast, you just have to sit back and think to yourself, “Who would I like to see get kicked in the face really, REALLY, hard?”  That would be why I ran the header pic that I did, because, more than likely, whoever plays CAPTAIN AMERICA in the Joe Johnston-directed film will be kicked in the face at least once in the course of the film.  Today, thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, we have a list of six candidates who are on Marvel’s shortlist for the lead role.

These candidates are John Krasinski (THE OFFICE), Scott Porter (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and SPEED RACER), Mike Vogel (CLOVERFIELD and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) Michael Cassidy (SMALLVILLE), and Patrick Flueger (THE 4400 and BROTHERS).  Chace Crawford (GOSSIP GIRL and the upcoming TWELVE) is expected to test screen in the next week and Garret Hedlund (TRON LEGACY), who has already tested, had to remove his name from the list due to scheduling conflicts. Scheduling issues also kept SUPERNATURAL’s Jensen Ackles off the final list. One of these things just doesn’t belong here.

That would be Krasinski who no one would have pegged as being a likely candidate for the lead role in a comic book movie until today.  Unfortunately for those who think this casting would be a bad choice (myself included), Krasinski brings the most name recognition to the table.  This could be something Marvel might jump at, but something tells me they are going more for the slightly to mostly unknown, especially if what Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Marvel is looking to offer the lead actor roughly $300K for the first film.

Of course, as was the case with THOR, Marvel may not run with any of these actors but rather find another, stronger candidate while the 30-day holds are set on everyone on this list.  We should be finding out within the next couple of weeks who will be donning the mask, wielding the starred shield, and, more than likely, getting kicked in the face.

‘Friday Night Lights’ Gets Renewed

friday-night-lights

Yeah, yeah, I know it’s not movie news, but how can you pass up news that the absolutely best-written show on television has been picked up for yet another season. Â  Finally, a network realizes that they have something special in their lineup.

Friday Night Lights has been teetering on the cancellation ladder ever since its first season, but news comes down from Michael Ausiello of EW today that, not only has the show been picked up for a season 4, it has been picked up for two more seasons (26 episodes in all). Â  Official word of this announcement should be coming any day now.

There was no word yet on whether it would air on DirectTV before jumping to NBC for a January premier (this was what the show did for season 3), but that seems likely.

It doesn’t look like everyone will be returning for a full season, though.   Both Adranne Palicki and Minka Kelly are moving on to other television shows.   Palicki will have a recurring guest spot on CSI: Miami and Kelly was recently cast in the CW pilot Body Politic.   Both look to have multiple-episode arcs a la Gaius Charles and Scott Porter in season 3.

Seriously, though.   If you are not watching this show, do yourself a favor.   Tape it.   Tivo it.   DVR it.   Watch it tonight.   Just try it for one episode, and I’m sure you will be hooked.   It is the most realistic depiction of small-town life I’ve ever seen on TV.   Also, I’m man enough to say that probably 99% of the episodes, at some point, bring a tear to my eyes.   A great show, and this is great news that it is coming back for two more seasons.
