Of course, not all shows are able to hang on as long as Truss did — with the notable exception of “Joey”; at least Truss is leaving with a shred of dignity intact. While the political pundits discuss what will happen now, let’s take a look at six infamously short-lived series that got pulled before Truss did. ©ABC/Courtesy Everett Collection 1. “Emily’s Reason’s Why Not” Length of Run: 1 week...
The artist, who just recently scored another No. 1 hit, told IndieWire that the show receiving that honor, and five more nominations to boot, left her “extremely moved, surprised, and excited. I love going to a carpet. I love award shows….I also was surprised to find out that this was the first freshman series nominated in a long time, like 16 years. I mean, that just speaks to how incredible this show is....
While “Home Alone” director Chris Columbus told Insider last year that he was against removing Trump’s appearance in the sequel (“Should he be cut out of the movie? No, because it’s all anybody talks about,” the filmmaker said in December), Culkin has spent the last week on Twitter showing support to the various Twitter users calling for Trump’s removal. The actor told one user he was “sold” on the idea to replace Trump in the film, and commented “bravo” on another user who re-edited Trump’s cameo scene to remove the president....
“Well it’s going to be me, so that’s a difference,” Mikkelsen told Entertainment Weekly about replacing Depp. “No, this is the tricky part. We’re still working it out. There has to be a bridge between what Johnny did and what I’m going to do. And at the same time, I also have to make it my own. But also we have to find a few links [to the previous version of the character] and some bridges so it doesn’t completely detach from what he’s already masterfully achieved....
Welles’ feature, released in 1942, saw the temperamental director film a 131-minute cut only to have home studio RKO add new scenes (including a completely new ending) and excise 43 minutes. Welles said about the finished production, “They destroyed ‘Ambersons’ and it destroyed me.” Allegedly, the missing 43 minutes was melted down so the nitrate could be utilized for the war effort. But filmmaker Joshua Grossberg, with the help of Turner Classic Movies, are on the hunt to find footage that might have been saved so a restoration of Welles’ original vision can take place....
Between the tail end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s, moviegoers had a high tolerance for pairs of male friends with more breezy optimism than brains. These dopey man-children included Wayne and Garth in “Wayne’s World”, Lloyd and Harry in “Dumb and Dumber”, and two happy-go-lucky doofuses called Bill and Ted, Jules and Vincent in “Pulp Fiction” (a more dangerous species of this genus), and “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion” as the female alternative....
“It took me a while to get comfortable with the idea of saying, ‘Another one, and I want you to think about this,”‘ Fincher said. “So often, you’re pressed up against the glass going, ‘Please don’t take this the wrong way. I need you to come out, we’re going to try one more.’ It’s like Carrie [Coon] said, ‘What am I doing wrong?’ You’re not doing anything wrong. We’re gonna do three weeks or at the rehearsal, we’re gonna do a table read, we’re gonna open out of town, we’re gonna have at least three previews....
