Jennifer Esposito Joins the Cast of Amazon’s The Boys
Jennifer Esposito Joins the Cast of Amazon’s The Boys
“’Who watches the watchmen?’ The Boys of course,” according to Simon Pegg. But who watches The Boys? That job is going to NCIS veteran Jennifer Esposito.
Via Deadline, Esposito has signed on to appear in five episodes of Amazon’s The Boys, which is based upon the mature comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Within the show and the comic, the Boys are a CIA black opps team led by Billy Butcher that is tasked with confronting superheroes when they get out of control. And as Pegg so eloquently put it in his introduction for The Boys trade paperback, the titular characters usually “kick the living, f***ing s*** out of [superheroes].”
Esposito will be portraying CIA agent Susan L. Rayner, a woman who shares a complicated dynamic with Billy Butcher. Susan and Billy hate each other, but they also have a destructive sexual relationship as well. In theory, Susan has authority over Billy and his team. But the Boys ultimately answer to no one but themselves.
RELATED: Amazon’s The Boys Starts Production
Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Supernatural creator Eric Kripe developed The Boys for Amazon. The show is expected to retain most of the comic’s boundary pushing violence and sexuality, while exploring the dark side of superhero celebrity and fame. Karl Urban headlines the cast as Billy Butcher, with Jack Quaid as Hughie, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, Tomer Kapon as Frenchie, and Karen Fukuhara as the Female. Elisabeth Shue co-stars in the series alongside Erin Moriarty, Antony Starr, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, and Nathan Mitchell.
The Boys season 1 is currently in production and it will likely debut on Amazon in 2019.

Venom Director Won’t Say If Spider-Man is In the Movie or Not
Venom Director Won’t Say If Spider-Man is In the Movie or Not
Will the Venom movie have any connections to the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Marvel’s Kevin Feige has downplayed any potential crossovers with Sony’s Spider-Man adjacent films, Tom Holland has previously been rumored to appear in Venom. Now, Venom director Ruben Fleischer may have unintentionally reignited that rumor by refusing to confirm or deny Spidey’s appearance.
“I honestly don’t know what I’m allowed to say,” said Fleischer, while speaking to The Los Angeles Times. “I mean, I know the answer — I’ve seen the movie. But I don’t want to get in trouble for saying something I’m not supposed to.”
This should be a simple yes or no question. But if Fleischer isn’t allowed to answer, it could mean that Sony and Marvel don’t want to ruin a surprise appearance by Holland’s wall-crawler. Alternately, it could mean that Sony wants fans to speculate about the Spidey cameo even if it’s not really happening.
RELATED: Tom Hardy Says He is Contracted for Three Venom Movies
Amy Pascal, a producer for both Spider-Man: Homecoming and Venom, has previously dropped hints about the possible crossover between the MCU and Sony controlled characters. Adding Spider-Man to the mix would go a long way towards giving Venom a greater legitimacy. Venom is one of Spider-Man’s most iconic villains/antiheroes, and it’s strange to see him completely separated from counterpart.
Tom Hardy will portray Eddie Brock/Venom on the big screen. Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze, Reid Scott, and Woody Harrelson co-star in the film. If the movie is successful, Sony plans to give films to other Spidey characters. Jackpot, Black Cat, and Silver Sable all candidates to get their own movie. But Morbius the Living Vampire already has Jared Leto lined up for the title role.
Venom will be released on Friday, October 5.

Ghoul Season 1 Episode 3 Recap
Ghoul Season 1 Episode 3 Recap
In the previous episode of Netflix’s Ghoul, we received clues that Ali Saeed is being used by a spirit for nefarious purposes. Let’s find out as we recap Ghoul season 1 episode 3, ‘Reveal Their Guilt, Eat Their Flesh!’
Ghul Time
Faulad Singh arrived in the interrogation chamber and got to work immediately on Ali Saeed, Nida was left to stand guard outside the chamber. Nida talked to the priest and persuaded him to tell her everything that he knows about Saeed. He stated that Ali Saeed is not a human, but a ‘Ghul.’ Apparently, Ghuls are demons who use fear to control and destroy people.
Singh chained up Saeed and beat him to a bloody pulp. Meanwhile, Commander Sunil received a phone-call, where he was told that Saeed’s body had been found dead in a safe-house and partially eaten. Singh unchained the Ghul and was promptly attacked by it. Singh walked out of the torture chamber and began unlocking the prison cells where all of the terrorists were being kept. Nida noticed this and went to inspect the torture chamber and she found Singh’s decapitated body lying on the floor. The Ghul noticed Nida and began to chase her, but she pulled the alarm and ran away. Nida informed Sunil about what happened. but he didn’t initially believe her.
Impersonation
Sunil investigated the holding area and found Singh’s corpse. The major, Laxmi, accused Nida of being the one who killed Singh and freed Saeed. Sunil ordered Laxmi to be arrested, but all of the soldiers in the compound revolted against him and arrested Sunil and Nida. Nida was thrown into a room with the freed prisoners and the priest informs her of the truth of their situation. She realized the mistake she made by turning her father in to the authorities. A pair of soldiers found the body of a prisoner that has been brutalized to point of being unrecognizable. The priest had been taken over by the Ghul and began to eat all of the prisoners, Nida was able to fight off the Ghul, but she was bitten, which allowed it to take Nida’s form.
Double Vision
Nida was interrogated by Laxmi, while the Ghul and one of the prisoners, Ahmed, snuck through the facility. The Ghul found its way to Sunil’s office. Nida managed to use her training to disarm and overcome Laxmi, while the Ghul attacked a soldier searching the office. Laxmi revealed to Nida that the Ghul had been asking for Nida since it was captured. Sunil shot and killed Laxmi as she was attempting to kill Nida.
Sunil also revealed that Nida’s father is the one who summoned the Ghul. Nida and Sunil decided to go rescue Ahmed. The pair reach Sunil’s office and found a group of soldiers along with Ahmed. Nida learned that her father was found to be innocent, but was ordered to be executed anyway. The Ghul attacked and killed everyone, but Nida and Ahmed were able to escape. They were quickly captured by a group of reinforcements. And that’s where we leave things for the first season.

Deadline has word that actress Jane Krakowski (30 Rock, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) has signed on to co-star in Apple’s half-hour comedy series Dickinson, based on the life of 1800s poet Emily Dickinson, played by Hailee Steinfeld (Bumblebee, Pitch Perfect 2).

David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, Vice Principals) is set to direct and will also executive produce alongside Smith, Michael Sugar (Spotlight) and Ashley Zalta (Maniac) for Sugar23 Productions, as well as Alex Goldstone for Anonymous Content, and Darlene Hunt (The Big C). The series hails from Paul Lee’s independent studio, wiip.
Dickinson will be joining Apple’s other upcoming series including three from Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, a morning-show drama starring Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, Are You Sleeping starring Octavia Spencer, and a comedy toplined by Kristen Wiig. Steven Spielberg’s Amazing Stories, a Ronald D. Moore space drama, a Damien Chazelle series, world-building drama See from Steven Knight and Francis Lawrence, and an M. Night Shyamalan psychological thriller are all also on Apple’s slate.

Frank Schaetzing’s Eco-Thriller The Swarm Coming to TV
Frank Schaetzing’s eco-thriller The Swarm coming to TV
Deadline reports that author Frank Schaetzing‘s eco-thriller The Swarm is being developed into a TV drama. Producer Frank Doelger (Game of Thrones) is adapting the novel for the small screen, which is slated to start production sometime in 2019.
Schaetzing gave the following statement about the development. “The question about a possible film adaptation of The Swarm was the one I was most frequently asked about. Every time my answer was: deadlock. Who would have thought that the ideal team would come together after all, that visionary TV producers and pro-players including Game of Thrones creative force Frank Doelger would come on board to steer this large-scale international TV series, which is the strongest narrative form one could adapt an adventure like The Swarm into. It’s full steam ahead from now on. I’m very excited and looking forward to this collaboration.”
Doelger also commented, comparing the fantasy world of Game of Thrones with our current environmental climate. “After having spent eight seasons in the mythical world of Game of Thrones, it is great to return to the present with The Swarm and its searing exploration of the impending doom brought about by man’s callous disregard of the oceans, a doomsday scenario as dire as anything imagined by George R.R. Martin.”
Doelger and Schaetzing will serve as Executive Producers alongside Eric Welbers. This is the first drama project to come out of Doelger’s nascent Intaglio Films, a new German TV production company aiming to produce English-language dramas for the international market.

BREAKING: Emmy Rossum Announces She’s Leaving Shameless
Emmy Rossum announces she’s leaving Shameless
In a surprise announcement, Shameless star Emmy Rossum took to Facebook to announce that she is leaving the hit Showtime series after nine seasons. Rossum wrote an emotional goodbye to fans, which you can read below:
RELATED: The Gallaghers Are Back in the Shameless Season 9 Trailer
“It’s hard thing to put into words, feelings. But I’m going to try.
This business is always an adventure, full of travel and opportunities to tell stories. Usually as an actor, every few months, you travel to a new place, start a new project, build a new character, learn new rhythms, new inside jokes with your crew, make new friends.
Until “Shameless” came into my life 8 years ago, I led that kind of transient wonderful life of an actor. And I never realized how much I actually craved the kind of continuity that this show has given me. And given all of us in the crew. Season after season I’m amazed that our same crew comes back. And it’s not just because it’s a wonderfully written, wonderfully layered show. There are these real connections, real friendships that bring us back season after season after season.
See, in real life, unlike Fiona, I’m an only child. I never had a big family. Being ensconced in that messy Gallagher family love is something I’d always dreamed of. But even off set, it feels real. We’ve watched the kids grow up into the strong, talented, independent human beings that they are. I taught Emma to shave her legs. I was there when Ethan learned to drive. Shanola and Jeremy and Joan and Bill danced at my wedding in New York last year. Our fearless leader John Wells thankfully held Sam and me up on those rickety chairs during the hora. I’ve spent the Jewish holy days in temple with David Nevins and his wonderful wife and kids. It really feels like a family.
This kind of stability, this family, has nurtured me and made feel safe enough to stretch and grow creatively. The way John Wells has shepherded me as an actress, and more recently how he’s encouraged me wholeheartedly as a director and a writer, has been an honor and a privilege.
We have made over 100 hours of television. That’s no small feat. There’s a new study that says it takes 100 hours to become friends with someone. The Gallaghers have been in people’s living rooms for 100 hours. So, it makes sense. We can feel your connection to us, to these characters. In the airport, in restaurants, on the street, when people call out “Hi Fiona” “Oh my god, it’s Lip” or “Screw you Frank!”… it feels good.
The opportunity to play Fiona has been a gift. There are few characters — female or otherwise — as layered and dynamic. She is a mother lion, fierce, flawed and sexually liberated. She is injured, vulnerable, but will never give up. She is living in an economic depression, but refuses to be depressed. She is resourceful. She is loyal. She is brave. I knew it the second I read the pilot script, this was different, this was special. I tirelessly prepped the audition with my coach Terry Knickerbocker. I walked to the appointment in the rain so I looked disheveled. During my third audition, when I got the part IN the room, I literally jumped up and down screaming in joyous relief and disbelief. Quite simply, the last eight years have been the best of my life.
Malcolm Gladwell says it takes 10,000 hours to become truly good at something. To become world class. Well by my calculation, 100 episodes, 7 days per episode (plus Chicago weeks), 12 hour days, we’re just at about 10,000 hours. So I guess we’re finally good at this. I can say for certain that this cast and crew, who I’ve been have truly honored to work alongside, are world class. I am proud and I’m filled with gratitude.
I know you will continue on without me, for now. There is much more Gallagher story to be told. I will always be rooting for my family. Try not to think of me as gone, just think of me as moving down the block.
With love, always.”
Season nine of Shameless will premiere on Sunday, September 9 and will feature the show’s 100th episode in week four.
Shameless co-stars Cameron Monaghan, Emma Kenney, Ethan Cutkosky, Jeremy White, Shanola Hampton, Steve Howey, and Oscar nominee and Emmy and SAG Award winner William H. Macy. Created by Paul Abbott, Shameless is produced by Bonanza Productions in association with John Wells Productions and Warner Bros. Television.

The cast includes Tilda Swinton (We Need to Talk About Kevin, Doctor Strange), Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey, How To Be Single), Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass, The Miseducation of Cameron Post), Mia Goth (A Cure for Wellness, Everest) and Jessica Harper of the original Suspiria.
Call Me by Your Name director Luca Guadagnino steps behind the camera for the remake of Dario Argento’s 1977 classic which features a script by David Kajganich (A Bigger Splash, The Terror). The horror film will have its world premiere at 75th Venice International Film Festival.
It had been previously reported that actress Tilda Swinton plays two roles in the film, taking on the role of “real life German psychoanalyst” Lutz Ebersdorf who will “make his feature debut” in the film, but Guadagnino confirmed to Yahoo back in February that he will be portrayed by the real Ebersdorf. The score will be composed by legendary singer/songwriter Thom Yorke of Radiohead.
Suspiria will officially debut in theaters on November 2. Fans in New York and Los Angeles will have the opportunity to watch the film one week early as select theaters will debut the feature on October 26.

Kyliegh Curran to play Abra Stone in Doctor Sleep movie
Kyliegh Curran (I Can I Will I Did) has joined Stephen King’s The Shining sequel Doctor Sleep movie as Abra Stone, Deadline has confirmed. Similar to Danny Torrance, played by Ewan McGregor (Christopher Robin), Abra is a girl who has the gift of The Shining.
Curran joins McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson (Mission Impossible – Fallout), Zahn McClarnon (Westworld), Carl Lumbly (Supergirl), and Alex Essoe (Midnighters) in the project. The outlet notes that Curran impressed the Doctor Sleep filmmakers during casting with her flair of authenticity.
RELATED: Shining Sequel Doctor Sleep Will Be Faithful to King’s Novel
Doctor Sleep is set to be directed and written by Mike Flanagan, making it his second King adaptation after the acclaimed Gerald’s Game. Warner Bros. will release the movie on January 24, 2020. His producing partner, Trevor Macy, is set to produce along with Jon Berg for Vertigo Entertainment.
Published 36 years after The Shining, Doctor Sleep follows an adult Danny Torrance (McGregor) from the original novel. Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel, where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father’s legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant shining power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes “Doctor Sleep.” There Dan meets Abra Stone (Curran), and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan’s own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra’s soul and survival.

Damon Herriman Will Also Play Charles Manson in Mindhunter Season 2
Damon Herriman will also play Charles Manson in Mindhunter season 2
Not only will Damon Herriman (Justified, Quarry, J. Edgar) be playing Charles Manson in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but Collider has confirmed that the actor will also be portraying the infamous cult leader in season two of David Fincher’s Mindhunter for Netflix as well.
Furthermore, it sounds like Herriman already shot scenes as Manson in the Netflix series last month, having been cast in Mindhunter earlier than today’s announcement. Sources told the outlet that while Herriman will be playing a 1969-era Manson in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, fans of Mindhunter will be seeing him play a 1980s version after Manson had already been locked up.
RELATED: 8 Reasons Why Mindhunter is the Best Original Series on Netflix for 2017
How do we get ahead of crazy if we don’t know how crazy thinks? In Mindhunter, two FBI agents (Jonathan Groff & Holt McCallany) set out on a sinister investigative odyssey to discover the brutal answers. Season two will likely feature the Atlanta Child Murders — which took place between 1979 and 1981 — Son of Sam and the reappearance of the BTK Killer.
Mindhunter features Jonathan Groff (Looking, Frozen, The Normal Heart), Holt McCallanay (Sully, Fight Club, Gangster Squad), Anna Torv (Fringe, Heavenly Sword, The Daughter) and Hannah Gross (Unless, I Used to Be Darker, Take What You Can Carry). The series is directed by David Fincher (Gone Girl, The Social Network, Zodiac), Asif Kapadia (Amy, Senna), Tobias Lindholm (A War, A Hijacking) and Andrew Douglas (The Amityville Horror, U Want Me 2 Kill Him?).
Joe Penhall (The Road) created the series. Fincher, Joshua Donen (Gone Girl, The Quick and the Dead), Charlize Theron (Girlboss, Hatfields & McCoys) and Cean Chaffin (Gone Girl, Fight Club) are executive producers. The first season of Mindhunter has been Certified Fresh with a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, and was lauded by critics for its reinvention of the crime procedural, when it premiered in October.
There has been no release date set for the second season of Mindhunter, meaning it’s too early to tell whether or not we will see Herriman as Manson on the big screen before he heads behind bars on the Netflix series.
Production for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is currently underway in Los Angeles for Sony Pictures and the film is slated for release on July 26, 2019.

The Front Runner Trailer: Hugh Jackman is Caught in a Political Scandal
The Front Runner trailer: Hugh Jackman is caught in a political scandal
Columbia Pictures has released the first trailer for the upcoming political drama The Front Runner starring Hugh Jackman as Gary Hart.
They also released a new movie poster that hilariously shows the Gary Hart campaign truck lunging itself off a cliff after being chased by reporters. Make sure you check out both the trailer and the poster below and let us know what you thin
Oscar nominee Hugh Jackman stars as the charismatic politician Gary Hart in the film that follows the rise and fall of Senator Hart, who captured the imagination of young voters and was considered the overwhelming front runner for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination when his campaign was sidelined by the story of an extramarital relationship with Donna Rice. As tabloid journalism and political journalism merged for the first time, Senator Hart was forced to drop out of the race – events that left a profound and lasting impact on American politics and the world stage.
The Front Runner also stars Vera Farmiga (The Conjuring), J.K. Simmons (Juno), Alfred Molina (FX’s The Feud), Sara Paxton (Twin Peaks), and Kaitlyn Dever.
Jason Reitman (Tully) directs the political scandal drama, which will world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival and screen at TIFF.
The Front Runner will debut in theaters November 7, just in time for the awards qualifying season.
