Hannibal, Coming to a TV near you!!

The Television news for the week:

• Netflix decides not to pick up Terra Nova from Fox. Smart business move there. The show cost over $4 Million an episode to make. It was expensive and wasn't a fan favorite. Fox still has the cast and crew under contract so who knows what will be done with the show. There is still no word whether Netflix will be purchasing The River from Fox. My hopes are that they would so they can give the show a chance to reach its full potential.
  
• Bryan Fuller, creator of Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me,  is working on a series about Hannibal, Thomas Harris iconic serial killer. It is planned to take place in between the movies Hannibal Rising and Red Dragon. Bryan Fuller is also the one behind the reboot of The Munsters TV series.  Channels are being cautious with Hannibal, they are only putting in an order for 13 episodes. Not to much news is out the show since it is in the first stages of being made.
  
• Here is a trailer for a new show coming to HBO called The Newsroom. It features Jeff Daniels as Will McAvoy, a news anchor who has an on-air meltdown and jeopardizes his career and future. Check out the trailer below:

Don Draper for President!!!

The Television news for the week:

• Netflix is in talks with ABC to purchase The River. The River to me is a good show and I don't understand why the Paranormal Activity franchise is good, but not The River. I like that Netflix is trying to acquire shows that may otherwise not be released. With Netflix already bring Arrested Development back and taking over Terra Nova, this a good move for them. I hope the deal goes through.

• The cost of Don Draper in today's society. This little info graphic about the famous Mad Men character and how much it would cost in today's world to still be the Don Draper from 1962. Check it out below:

  They also released TV spots that wants fans to pledge their allegiance to their favorite noble house of Westeros. I would have posted them here, but there are 5 different TV spots and I didn't think you guys wanted a post filled with 6 videos and barley anything else. They are all on HBO's website if you want to see them.

Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles?!

As always on the Monday post, The Weekend Box Office Results:

1. 21 Jump Street
2. Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
3. John Carter
4. Project X
5. A Thousand Words

Now for the movie news of the week:

• Robert Rodriguez is planning to film both Sin City 2 and the the sequel to Machete called Machete Kills this summer. He says he will be working on  Machete Kills first then moving to Sin City 2. I don't know if this is a smart move for him. Filming 2 films in one year back to back could make one or both turn out bad. Sin City 2 should be done first then start on Machete Kills next year. That's just my opinion.
  
• Paranormal Activity 4 now has a writer. Zack Estrin who is already attached to ABC's The River as the writer and executive producer. I wonder what will be in store next for the franchise. Paranormal Activity 4 already has a release date for October 19th, 2012.
  
• Jurassic Park will be re released in 3D on July 19, 2013. I wonder if they are going to make changes to this movie too.
  
• Lionsgate and WWE Studios have announced that they will be rebooting the Leprechaun franchise for a 2013 release. Those movies still freak me out.
  
• An update on the live action reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. First of all  Michael Bay is set to produce the film. He also hints about the change that will be made in the Turtle's origin story. In the reboot the turtles will not be mutated by the Ooze, but will be aliens to the us. I cant believe that they came up with this idea as an actual reboot of the movies. Its like changing Superman's origin so that he was born on earth and mutated and become Superman. There is no way that this idea could ever work for me. If anybody has seen the live action movie for the series back in 1990, it was a good movie and is still very good in the sense of the franchise. It has a release date for December 25th, 2013, but as of right now I do not plan on seeing it.

Paranormal Activity + Lost + The Amazon= The River!

The Television news for this week:

• Stephen Amell will play Olvier Queen, The Green Arrow, in CW's new Green Arrow TV show. Fans were hoping that it would be a direct spin-off from Smallville, where Olvier Queen was played by Justin Hartley. Stephen Amell has recently starred in shows like The Vampire Diaries, 90210, and recently cancelled Hung. DC and CW has green lighted the series and it will start production soon.

• The River is premiering tonight and I cant wait to watch it. One of my favorite Actors, Joe Anderson, stars in this  show about a crew of explores on a quest to find a missing TV explorer in the Amazon. The show comes from the minds of  Oren Peli and Michael R. Perry, which are the minds behinde the Paranormal Activity trilogy. Check out the Full trailer here:

• The next show I am planning to start watching is Alcatraz, The show from the mind of J.J. Abrams. I am a huge fan of his work and I havent found time to sit down and watch it yet. Either I am going to have to catch the reruns or buy it on iTunes.

• Oh and dont forget, The Walking Dead comes back this Sunday at 9PM on AMC. I may be out of town at a concert that night so I dot think I will be able to watch it until the next day.
