THE WALKING DEAD: DARYL DIXON---new poster from the spinoff features the French translation of "God loves you" from the French nun group called the Union of Hope.
NOT ANOTHER CHURCH MOVIE---Kevin Daniels, Jamie Foxx and Mickey Rourke will star in this comedy movie whose synopsis says, “[Daniels] an ambitious young man given a holy mission from God (Foxx) himself: to tell his family’s stories and inspire his community. His only concern? His family and community. What he doesn’t know is that the Devil (Rourke) has plans of his own.”
THE BLIND SIDE---Alcon Entertainment replied to ex-NFL player Michael Oher's lawsuit which claims he was not adopted by the Tuohy family and has never received any money from the movie that made over $300 million, “The deal that was made by Fox for the Tuohys’ and Michael Oher’s life rights was consistent with the marketplace at that time for the rights of relatively unknown individuals. Therefore, it did not include significant payouts in the event of the film’s success. As a result, the notion that the Tuohys were paid millions of dollars by Alcon to the detriment of Michael Oher is false. In fact, Alcon has paid approximately $767,000 to the talent agency that represents the Tuohy family and Michael Oher (who, presumably, took commission before passing it through).”
FRIENDS---writer Patty Lin, in her book END CREDITS, wrote about her time on FRIENDS, "The actors seemed unhappy to be chained to a tired old show when they could be branching out, and I felt like they were constantly wondering how every given script would specifically serve them. They all knew how to get a laugh, but if they didn’t like a joke, they seemed to deliberately tank it, knowing we’d rewrite it. Dozens of good jokes would get thrown out just because one of them had mumbled the line through a mouthful of bacon. [Co-creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman] never said, ‘This joke is funny. The actor just needs to sell it.’"
She added, "Once the first rewrite was finished, we’d have a run-through on the set, where the actors would rehearse and work out blocking with the director. Then everyone would sit around Monica and Chandler’s apartment and discuss the script. This was the actors’ first opportunity to voice their opinions, which they did vociferously. They rarely had anything positive to say, and when they brought up problems, they didn’t suggest feasible solutions. Seeing themselves as guardians of their characters, they often argued that they would never do or say such-and-such. That was occasionally helpful, but overall, these sessions had a dire, aggressive quality that lacked all the levity you’d expect from the making of a sitcom."
NANCY DREW---producer Larry Teng commented on the CW's cancellation of the tv series, “What a f****** s**** way of telling us we were getting canceled. Thank God the Studio called. Because you all deserved the most proper ending possible. That’s why I praise the writers for pulling it together at the end. It was so glib. No consideration for letting [creators Noga Landau and Melinda Hsu Taylor] give you a proper goodbye. No closure. No consideration for the fandom who support and watch this show. I’ve been pissed at the upper brass of this new CW since November. They suck. They have every right to turn a profit… which means canceling shows. But to have clearly known in advance and not tell us until a random call 3/4 into our season is just plain ****ing disrespect. I’m glad y’all enjoyed the finale. You deserved that. Long live our #Drewds and the #DrewCrew.”
TRIVIA---Steven Spielberg, who directed alien sci fi hits CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, E.T.: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL and WAR OF THE WORLDS, commented on UFOs, “I’ve never seen a UFO. I wish I had! I’ve never seen anything I can’t explain. But I believe certain people who have seen things that they can’t explain. I think what has been coming up recently is fascinating, absolutely fascinating. And I think the secrecy that is shrouding all of these sightings and the lack of transparency… I think there is something going on that just needs extraordinary due diligence. I don’t believe we’re alone in the universe. I think it’s mathematically impossible that we are the only intelligent species in the cosmos. I think that’s totally impossible. At the same time, it also seems impossible that someone would visit us from 400 million light-years from here — except in the movies, of course — unless it figures out some way of jumping the shark, so to speak, and getting here through wormholes. The most optimistic thing I feel about these things we see in the skies, that the Army and Navy and Air Force are recording on their gun cameras, is that what if they’re not from an advanced civilization 300 million light-years from here? What if it’s us, 500,000 years in the future, that is coming back to document the second half of the 20th century and into the 21st century because they’re anthropologists? And they know something we don’t quite know yet that has occurred, and they’re trying to track the last hundred years of our history.”
