Deadline first reported in March 2019 that former Fox film chief Stacey Snider “fended off an attempt by Hawley and FX to take the ‘Aliens’ franchise and turn it into a miniseries,” but that was before the Disney-Fox merger. While an “Alien” miniseries hasn’t gained much momentum post-merger, talks about developing one continue “from time to time,” Hawley now says. “I know that there’s an effort to reshuffle a lot of things post-Disney takeover and it was a conversation that I had a couple years back,” Hawley told Deadline about the miniseries....

AMC Entertainment revenue soared in the first quarter of 2022, as expected, and with a net loss that improved from -$567 million in Q1 2021 to -$337 million this year. Although revenue grew by 5X, that’s still a pretty huge loss — but AMC Entertainment chairman and CEO Adam Aron is not looking back. “Let me say it again to all of those who doubted the consumer appeal of movie theaters,” he crowed on the company’s earnings conference call Monday afternoon, the day after the newest Marvel hit opened to $450 million globally....

After two statues immortalizing “Breaking Bad” characters Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) were unveiled at the Albuquerque Convention Center July 30, New Mexico Republican Rep. Rod Montoya and Albuquerque-based conservative radio talk show host Eddy Aragon criticized the city’s decision to commemorate the Emmy-winning AMC series. “I’m glad New Mexico got the business, but really?” Rep.

There was plenty of new and interesting tidbits about TV’s biggest evening revealed. First and foremost was the announcement that actor and comedian Cedric the Entertainer would be serving as host for this year’s ceremony, a choice that is both exciting and low-key historic.
