Evel Knievel Series with Milo Ventimiglia Scrapped by USA Network due to Pandemic

New DVD release, , , , ,
The gravity-abused life of iconic stuntman Evel Knievel (1938-2007) was set to be chronicled by USA Network, which last year ordered a limited series, titled Evel, with Milo Ventimiglia tapped to star as the iconic daredevil. However, the world has obviously experienced significant changes since those plans were first spun, and it seems that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused Evel to wipe out from the cable channel’s production slate. USA Network has scrapped Evel, according to THR. The project, which was picked up to series in September 2019, saw its New Mexico production—which was finishing location prep and was on…

Star Trek: The Original Series Needs A Real Origin Story

New DVD release, , , ,
When Star Trek: Strange New Worlds eventually debuts on CBS All Access and gives us the further adventures of Captain Pike, Spock, and Number One aboard the USS Enterprise NCC-1701, another gap in the Star Trek timeline will be fully explored. And yet, this gap isn’t the weirdest missing piece of Trek history. Other than one episode of The Original Series, we have almost zero on-screen canonical record of adventures that may have occurred for some — or all — of the year 2265, the first year of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy’s five year mission on the Enterprise. In essence,…

The 100 Prequel Series Would Use a Lost-Like Flashback Format

New DVD release, , , ,
The following contains spoilers for The 100 backdoor pilot episode “Anaconda”. As backdoor pilots go, The 100 episode “Anaconda” is darn effective. The hour serves as an origin story for the human survivors of Earth’s first nuclear apocalypse, taking us all the way back to the pivotal moment in 2052 when the missiles were launched and a cult-ish group known as the Second Dawn locked themselves underground for protection. “Anaconda’s” story is compelling in and of itself, following Second Dawn leader Bill Cadogan and his semi-estranged family as they attempt to survive the end of the world and determine what…

New DVD release, , , , ,
The long-gestating Hedy Lamarr television series, which Gal Gadot has been attached to as both producer and star, just got its straight-to-series order from Apple TV+. The new streaming service announced the order Thursday, revealing the series will be an eight episode limited series with Gadot as Lamarr, the Austrian-born movie star who during the height of World War II was described as the “most beautiful woman in the world,” all the while she was ignored for her brilliance when she created the technology that led to GPS during the war.

Community Movie: Donald Glover on Newfound Love for Series, Open to Film

New DVD release, , , , ,
Ten years is a long time. Yet it’s been that and more since Community first premiered on NBC in the fall of 2009. Originally greenlit as a lighthearted single-camera sitcom about community college misfits, the series created by Dan Harmon turned out to be much weirder and outside-the-box than that. In retrospect, this was its virtue, as was its deep bench of talent that in addition to Harmon included future award winning talent like Donald Glover, Alison Brie, Jim Rash, and Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo. But at the time, its quality was sometimes hard to quantify for…

Netflix’s Hollywood: The History of the Real People in the Series

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains spoilers for all seven episodes of Hollywood. “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” That line from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, the last masterpiece from one of Golden Age Hollywood’s most revered directors, John Ford has become pretty legendary itself. Yet it seems Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan decided to do Ford one better in their version of Hollywood: write the fantasy. Running across seven episodes on Netflix, Hollywood is far more a golden hued fairy tale than even Quentin Tarantino’s vision of 1969 Tinseltown in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, and yet…

Hellraiser TV Series Being Developed by HBO

New DVD release, , ,
Somewhere in the bowels of HBO right now, there is probably an executive smirking, “We have such sights to show you.” After all, the prospect of a big budget television adaptation of the Hellraiser franchise on the premium cable network would be a hell of a sight, indeed. Deadline was the first to report HBO has made a deal to develop a Hellraiser TV series that comes with some big names attached, including David Gordon Green at the top of the list. Green became a horror genre darling after successfully rebooting Halloween for its 40th anniversary in 2018 with a…

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Still, in times of social distancing and quarantine, it’s nice to see some work is getting done behind the scenes at HBO Max. Indeed, the incoming streaming service from WarnerMedia announced Thursday a bonanza of new shows they’re developing with J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions—with Overlook, a spinoff of Stephen King’s The Shining, at the top of the list.

Beauty and the Beast Disney+ Prequel Series Set with Luke Evans and Josh Gad

New DVD release, , , , ,
Disney+ has already proven itself as an industry-altering streaming distribution pipeline for the monolithic Mouse House’s myriad properties, and it appears that 2017’s live-action $1.2 billion worldwide-grossing hit, Beauty and the Beast, is set to be the next example of this notion, proving that shows can be mined from the most unlikely of places. Luke Evans and Josh Gad are locked in to reprise their roles – as Gaston and LeFou, respectively – in an untitled live-action limited-run prequel television series that’s set for a Disney+ streaming run, as THR reports. The series, set at ABC Signature Studios, will manifest…

Life with Lucy: The Complete Series

New DVD release,
Recommended For Lucille Ball completists, the release of Life with Lucy (1986), her ill-fated final sitcom, is most welcome. I Love Lucy/The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour (1951-60), The Lucy Show (1962-68), and Here's Lucy (1968-74) kept her on the network airwaves nearly constantly for a quarter of a century, but her return to theatrical features with Mame (1974) flopped badly, with Ball singled out for atypically harsh reviews. After that she did annual television specials for a few years, and was a frequent presenter at award shows. In November 1985 she starred in The Stone Pillow, a TV-movie in which she…
