The Blacklist premiere opened not long after the events of the first season finale in which Tom’s body had disappeared and Berlin was still at large.
The Blacklist Recap
Raymond Reddington (James Spader) is now in Cameroon, heading down a dirt road to meet with a warlord who has connections to Berlin, having provided him with hitmen to track down Red. In order to learn who the men are that are coming after him, Red offers the warlord three hellfire missiles and $3 million cash – the first of which seals the deal.
Stateside at the Post Office, the Deputy Attorney General expresses a lack of confidence in the special task force with Agent Cooper (Harry Lennix) out recovering from his recent injuries and Agent Gary Martin (Jason Butler Harner) filling his shoes for the time being.

Tom Keen is armed and dangerous (and possibly infected with something?) Agent Ressler is on hand to throw some muscle behind Liz’s wild ideas. And dear Dembe with his deadpan humor is surely plotting Red’s escape. Lastly, there’s Berlin–man, woman, masked crusader?
But the big question that has been hanging over the series is, who is Liz Keen’s biological father? Actress Megan Boone told EW that “Liz reveals a...

The city that bills itself as "The Heart of Screenland" has enacted changes to its tax structure in an effort to attract more film and television production business. On Feb. 8, Culver City suspended a business tax that production companies filming at studios in the city had long been required to pay. The suspension of the tax will last five years.
The measure was approved unanimously at the Feb. 7 City Council meeting and is seen by councilmembers as a way to even the playing field for studios in the city that compete for business with production facilities in other Southern California cities and states across the country. Both Sony Pictures Studios and Culver Studios are located in the city, which gained its "Heart of Screenland" motto due to the countless films and television programs filmed there over the years.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has adopted a new strategy that would offer higher-resolution 4K content to digital cinema theaters.
In related news, Spe, along with 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures, has entered into separate -- nonexclusive and global -- virtual print fee-style digital cinema deployment agreement with Sony Electronics' Digital Cinema Solutions and Services group. Dcss is creating a deployment program for exhibitors through which Sony would install, maintain and support Sony's 4K digital cinema projectors, while offering financing plans.
Currently, the majority of digital cinema deliverables -- which are the digital equivalent of film prints -- are 2K files delivered to digital cinema theaters that offer 2K projection. A 4K image contains four times as much picture information as what is found in 2K.
Only a handful of d-cinema releases have been delivered in 4K, the most recent being Sony's "Hancock." Sony Electronics makes the only 4K digital cinema projector currently on the market.
