The “Westworld” star revealed that she is “not scared” of the lawsuit filed against her by Brian Warner, aka Marilyn Manson, ahead of the March 15 premiere of HBO’s two-part documentary “Phoenix Rising.“ Wood explained on the March 14 episode of “The View” that she was “lured into a false sense of security” by Manson. “Well in the first place, I was not drawn to him, he was drawn to me,” Wood said....
Find all of the cancels and renewals below. We should note here that not every cancelled TV show goes away on bad terms: Among the 20-something or so series we won’t be seeing again in the 2022-23 season, there were a few preplanned decisions — like the ending of NBC’s “This Is Us” and ABC’s “Black-ish” — that got mixed in. You’ll notice we only focused on scripted series here. Sans a handful of perennial reality standouts like CBS’ “Survivor,” which has been officially renewed for Season 43, unscripted programming kind of does its own thing on its own schedule....
“I don’t understand it, but I like it,” Rugoff told Downey. Aided by an extraordinary marketing and ad campaign still remembered today, “Putney Swope” became the rare American independent film to be treated like a top foreign-language art film. Among Downey Sr.’s early micro-budget directorial efforts were “Balls Bluff” (1961), “Babo 73” (1964), “Chafed Elbows” (1966), and “No More Excuses” (1968). The director was also an actor, with performing credits in films such as “Boogie Nights” (1997), “Magnolia” (1999), and “The Family Man” (2000), plus many more titles....
Few kindnesses can brighten a critic’s day like an unexpectedly brief episode of TV. Whether it’s a tight 45-minute entry popping up amid an established hourlong series or a new comedy-drama hybrid choosing the more fuel efficient route, those shaved minutes mean so much more to those of us tasked with watching entirely too much television. But any relieved sighs are about more than just viewing fatigue. Shorter entries can signify resourcefulness — they stand out for giving the story exactly as much time as it needs, rather than doubling back to make up for past oversights, extending scenes to underline story points, or simply running long because they can....
Baseball fans are gearing up for a real-life “Field of Dreams” experience. After more than two years of planning, and six years after the idea first came about, Major League Baseball will unveil a specially constructed ballpark in Iowa on Thursday. The Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees will face off at the baseball field located next to the cornfield where “Field of Dreams” was filmed. The “MLB at Field of Dreams” event will include a “corn maze” featuring the MLB silhouetted batter logo, and a first-of-its-kind LED lighting system that will illuminate most of the 159 acres of corn fields surrounding the ballpark....
The “Full House” alum-turned-Hallmark Channel’s Queen of Christmas announced a partnership with the Great American Family as its chief creative officer ahead of upcoming holiday film “A Christmas…Present.” Bure slammed Hallmark for becoming too woke in recent years, namely with an upcoming LGBTQ Christmas love story. “It basically is a completely different network than when I started because of the change of leadership,” Bure recently told The Wall Street Journal. “I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment....
Angela Bassett narrates the documentary about the rover that outlasted its estimated survival date by more than 60 times. The rover was initially launched into space in 2003 to look for ancient water on Mars; it “died” in 2019 on the Red Planet after discovering that Mars stayed wet for an “extended period and that conditions could have been suitable for sustaining microbial life,” per NASA’s website. Its twin rover Spirit was active on Mars until 2010....
