HBO cancels 'Luck' after third horse dies
13 hours ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
The title was never meant to be quite this ironic.
HBO has elected to cancel production on Luck following the death of a third horse on the racetrack drama series.
The network released this statement:
“It is with heartbreak that executive producers David Milch and Michael Mann together with HBO have decided to cease all future production on the series Luck. Safety is always of paramount concern. We maintained the highest safety standards throughout production, higher in fact than any protocols existing in horseracing anywhere with many fewer incidents than occur in racing or than befall horses normally in barns at night or pastures. »

17 hours ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Kiefer Sutherland is furious at 20th Century Fox, which has called a halt to the movie version of his hit television show, “24,” over budget and star salary issues, TheWrap has learned. The movie based on the conspiracy-terrorism-action show was in pre-production and set to start shooting next month, but has now ground to a halt because Fox will greenlight a budget no higher than $30 million, while Sutherland and producer Brian Grazer feel the budget needs to be in the low $40s at its tightest. A Fox spokesman confirmed that the »

1 hour ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Each week, host Jeff Probst answers a few questions about the most recent episode of Survivor: One World.
Entertainment Weekly: Sometimes you guys do the pre-merge tribe shake-up and sometimes you don’t. As first day five-person alliances become more prevalent, is that something you’ll do more of to keep contestants — and viewers — on their toes?
Jeff Probst: Hmm…you mean switching up tribes? If so, there’s no rhyme or reason as to why we do it. We have learned that a switch doesn’t mean it will buy you anything other than a chance at some new reality. »

Nicollette Sheridan's Desperate Housewives Case—and Five Other Bombshell Hollywood Trials
1 hour ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Forgive the jurors in the Nicollette Sheridan-Desperate Housewives trial if they need to collect themselves before getting deep into deliberations. Courtroom testimony was juicy and occasionally shocking, as when a series exec revealed the imminent offing of a major Housewives character, James Denton's Mike Delfino. While the verdict's out on Sheridan's wrongful-termination lawsuit, let's revisit other breath-taking moments from celebrity trials: 1. Roman Polanski Flees: On the eve of sentencing for his guilty plea to sex with a 13-year-old, the filmmaker hopped a plane out of the United States. Nearly 35 years on, Polanski hasn't come back—and prosecutors here don't consider »

SXSW: 'Brooklyn Castle' ranks among the top tier of this year's fest
2 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Austin, Texas - On Monday at a SXSW screening here, director Katie Dellamaggiore announced that Sony Pictures and producer Scott Rudin purchased the remake rights to “Brooklyn Castle,” her documentary about a group of New York schoolkids that compete regularly in national chess tournaments. This of course is but the latest doc set to be remade by Hollywood, but it’s hard to imagine a fiction film doing justice to the complexity and utter humanness of Dellamaggiore’s version. The film uses school chess programs to evidence both the neglect legislators show towards education when time comes to cutting checks, and yet the »

Rome – The stakeholders for the International Rome Film Festival are expected Friday to formally vote to approve Marco Mueller as the event’s artistic director, officially ending months of rancorous debate and launching the seven-year-old event on a new era in its history.

But the appointment did not come without problems. Story: Marco Mueller Appointment as Rome Film Festival Chief Delayed

Why HBO's 'Luck' Wasn't Fit to Run Out of the Gate
5 hours ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
In cancelling its hobbled race-track drama "Luck" on Wednesday, HBO contained a scandal that threatened to not only overtake one of its most high-profile shows, but tarnish a brand it has spent decades building. Three dead horses -- a far higher rate than in the sport the show glamorizes -- gave the network a compelling reason to exit a series that has thus far largely disappointed despite an all-star pedigree. Euthanizing the show was a radical decision that HBO made with surprising swiftness. For the premium network, it made a clear statement about »

Great New Japanese Avengers Trailer
6 hours ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
If, like us, you’ve already watched the latest trailer for Marvel Avengers Assemble more times than is probably advised by doctors, you might be wondering when you’ll get to see any new footage. The answer to that question is… Now! Because thanks to Yahoo Movies Japan, there’s an alternate version available with some eye-popping new moments added. Take a look! While a lot of what is on show here is identical to what has gone before, there are also some lovely shots of the Shield Helicarrier, Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts looking concerned about… something (probably the alien attack) from the Stark corporate jet, Quinjets a-plenty, more from Black Widow and, as though the Marvel gods heard the complaints from Hawkeye fans, an actually line for everyone’s favourite Bowman. Yeah, it’s not a speech, but it’s something. Even Cobie Smulders’ Maria Hill gets a little more screen time. »
