Warning: This post discusses the events of last night's episode of The Knick, so tread carefully. Variety reports that Cinemax has ordered a premiere script and season outline for the third season of its early-20th-century hospital drama The Knick, which may come as a surprise to some viewers as last night's episode ended with the death of series lead Doctor Thackery (Clive Owen). Variety's report, however, doesn't imply that Cinemax is going to mimic any of that Jon Snow business. Owen told Variety that he only planned to do two seasons of the show, so Thackery will probably stay dead. And while the series itself was initially built for a two-year arc, according to a statement from Cinemax, all-star director Steven Soderbergh and creators Michael Begler and Jack Amiel have been discussing ways to continue the story. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Amiel went into more detail...

Winner Of The Week: Katniss Everdeen. To the surprise of no one in any of the 12 districts, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire debuted on top of the chart; the only suspense was whether it could outdo its 2012 predecessor. The answer was yes; Catching Fire's estimated $161.2 million did beat the $152.5 million debut of The Hunger Games. It also set a couple of records: the best November opening ever (beating the $142.8 million earned by The Twilight Saga: New Moon three years ago) and the biggest ever opening for a movie with...

Vampirology, diving lessons, advanced Rubik's cube training – director John Tiffany recalls in his production diary how he got his cast to sink their teeth into his stage adaptation of 2008 horror classic Let the Right One In
Let the Right One In is one of my favourite films of recent years. It's full of images that have burned their way into my mind: bodies frozen in coffins of ice; blood spilling on to snow; a patient in a hospital bed bursting into flames. I first saw it at a friend's house one lazy Sunday in the summer of 2009. Not for a moment did I think it could be the source for a play.
But when I was approached two years ago by a producer who had acquired the rights, the idea felt exciting. It's a tender, brutal love story following the relationship between Oskar, a lonely bullied teenage boy, and Eli,...

I guess the angels were scratching their heads real hard, and so when I awoke yesterday there was three feet of white stuff all over everything. It’s still there, mostly, except for the streets, where our tax dollars have been at work, and the driveway where a nice man who didn’t ask for a king’s ransom shoveled it off.
I like it when the angels scratch their heads, except if I have to go someplace or the electricity kerfutzes, which it did during the recent hurricane – angels blowing out birthday candles? – and then the angelic behavior is plenty vexing and old folks have to seek shelter in hotels and if you think that’s easy to find, you’ve never sought shelter after a big wind!
I guess this is why some folks who have reached or exceeded their three score and ten choose to reside in places like Florida.

Exclusive: Marc of the Beast reports on the progress of four brand new Snow White movies in development.
The trailers for Mirror Mirror and Snow White And The Hunstman have had enormous success in their debuts, each generating millions of clicks worth of web traffic. In addition, Disney has plans for a kung-fu update titled Snow And The Seven. And over on Once Upon A Time on ABC, Snow White continues to be a draw for viewers. There’s even a rip-off of Once Upon A Time called Fables that’s become a best seller. Famous Monsters has learned exclusively from trusted sources that a small handful of additional properties based off of Snow White are in the works. Due to the vociferous appetite the movie-going public apparently has for the fairy tale character, a number of other studios are now jumping on the bandwagon. Here’s a few of...
