Scorsese's 'Boardwalk Empire' Series Picked Up By HBO

2 September 2009 10:33 AM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

Buscemi to star in Boardwalk Empire

Rome.  Deadwood. Band of Brothers. From the Earth to the Moon.  These are only a few of the fantastic period pieces that HBO has produced in the past and if one things clear, the cable network excels at this type of programming.  They can now, potentially, add another series to the above list.  HBO just announced that Boardwalk Empire, from Martin Scorsese and starring Steve Buscemi has been picked up as a new series.

The new series takes place in 1920's Atlantic City in the heat of Prohibition and chronicles the rise of the city's boardwalk from a quiet seaside resort to the casino empire it has become today.  Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) is a cross between a local politician and a bootlegging gangster, and we get to watch how he runs the city through the political and criminal angles.  We'll also get to »

Unaired Fear Itself Episodes Hitting FEARnet in September

6 August 2009 1:12 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

"Fear Itself" should be pretty fresh in your minds considering it's hitting DVD soon with some very bitchin' artwork. The short-lived show was like the unofficial third season of "Masters of Horror". For various reasons it was pulled before it could run its final five episodes. FEARnet is out to fix all that.

Starting on September 2nd the final five will begin being aired. Below you'll find a synopsis of each episode and when you can tune in to see them.

"Something With Bite," directed by Ernest Dickerson (NBC’s "Heroes"), is a reinvention of the classic werewolf story from writer Max Landis ("Masters of Horror"), the son of John Landis ("An American Werewolf in London"). When a veterinarian (Wendell Pierce, “The Wire”) is bitten by a large, strange animal brought into his clinic, he begins to see the world and his stale life differently.

27 July 2009 6:34 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Joe Morton, Daniella Alonso and John Fiore have boarded the indie feature The Mulberry Tree, which will be directed by U.K. helmer Mark Heller.

The script chronicles the meeting of Mickey Crugnali and Sam Morton, a convicted murderer dying of AIDS whose remaining days on "hospital detail" give him the opportunity for redemption through conversations with the young man about his own family issues.

Alonso (Friday Night Lights) plays Morton's long-lost daughter who strikes up a friendship with Mickey, and TV vet Fiore (Brotherhood) plays Mickey's father.

The Mulberry Tree is shooting in Providence.

Brotherhood: Showtime TV Show Is Really Over, No Season Four

30 June 2009 7:21 AM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »

We've suspected the bad news for months but now, it's been confirmed that the Brotherhood series has indeed been cancelled by Showtime.

Brotherhood revolves around the lives of two brothers in an Irish-American neighborhood in Rhode Island. Tommy Caffee (Jason Clarke) is a family man and local politician while his brother Michael (Jason Isaacs) is a professional criminal who's involved with the Irish mob. Others in the cast of this gritty drama include Kevin Chapman, Annabeth Gish, Fiona C. Erickson, Brian Scannell, Kerry O'Malley, Fionnula Flanagan, Madison Garland, Billy Smith, Frank Ridley, Matt Servitto, Ethan Embry, Brian F. O'Byrne, Tina Benko, and John Fiore.

The series debuted on Showtime on July 9, 2006 and, despite some very positive reviews, Brotherhood didn't attract a lot of viewers; just 450,000. Showtime nevertheless renewed the show for a second season -- albeit one made up of only 10 episodes. They started airing in September of 2007 and the »

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: April 19, 2009

19 April 2009 7:45 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Welcome to another Weekend Movie News Wrap Up. In this week’s comedy filled line-up:

Zac Efron might be 17 Again but he’s also No.1 at the box office; Reese Witherspoon is Nice; Sean “Diddy” Combs goes Greek; Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning go Somwhere for Sofia Coppola; Felicity Jones is a woman in Ricky Gervais’ The Men At The Pru and Brotherhood’s Blake Masters fires  2 Guns for Universal Pictures.

Box Office

Zac Efron is a movie star. The High School Musical star’s role in 17 Again helped the film make $24 million over the weekend. The body swap comedy also stars Friends‘ Matthew Perry as an older Efron. Poor guy - a decade ago he was headlining (mediocre) romantic comedies and now he’s supporting a tween star.

In second place was State of Play starring Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck. Again about 10 years ago this would have opened »

'Brotherhood' star Jason Isaacs thinks fame overrated

10 April 2009 5:21 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Jason Isaacs thinks acting is 'silly'. The star of the "Brotherhood" series on Showtime and 'Harry Potter' actor - who plays Lucius Malfoy in the movie adaptations of J. K. Rowling's popular books - has blasted his profession, branding it a "ridiculous" way to earn money. He said: "Along the way, the idea that I get dressed up and pretend to be other people for a living has seemed sillier and sillier to me. Acting is an inherently narcissistic thing to do a lot of the time." The 45-year-old British star says fame is "bizarre", and finds it strange that fans scream for him at movie premieres but treat him like a normal person the rest of the time. »
