It's Curtains for Cary Fukunaga's 'It' Adaptation
1 hour ago | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
The Wrap reports that New Line has dropped the ball on Cary Fukunaga's film version of Stephen King's "It," which the busy director intended as a two-part horror epic. Originally set up at Warner Bros. before shuttled to New Line, and slated for production in June, the project has been shelved indefinitely. "Fukunaga repeatedly clashed with the studio," writes Jeff Sneider, "and did not want to compromise his artistic vision in the wake of budget cuts that were recently demanded by New Line, which greenlit the first film at $30 million." Fukunaga took a gamble casting young "Maze Runner" breakout Will Poulter as Pennywise, the demonic clown that haunts a group of seven outcast friends. Fukunaga reportedly considered older actors like stage thesp Mark Rylance and "Bloodline" star Ben Mendelsohn for the part, but was knocked over by Poulter's audition. Rather than follow in the footsteps of the 1990 miniseries version of King's. »

Amy Schumer Got Super Real on The Bachelorette Last Night
3 hours ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Of all the blatant charades on The Bachelorette, the most transparent is the show's insistence that its contestants are the kind of men any woman would be lucky to date, instead of complete bozos. Fortunately, the show brought on Amy Schumer last night to keep it real. The real-life Bachelorette superfan was ostensibly there to mentor the guys for a stand-up-comedy group date, but she spent a lot more time talking shit about the various dudes and then insulting them to their faces. Poor J.J. — all he's missing is "charisma, humility, and a sense of humor." »

Charter-tw Cable: Broadband Will Be Focal Point of Deal Approval
52 minutes ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
The biggest regulatory hurdle Charter Communications likely will face in its mega-bid for Time Warner Cable is the question of control over the U.S.’s broadband pipes — the issue that prompted Comcast to abandon its own bid for Tw Cable.
The Charter’s $78.7 billion takeover of Tw Cable, together with its acquisition of Bright House Networks, would yield an entity with about 20 million broadband subscribers. That’s still less than Comcast, which had 22.4 million at the end of Q1.
Charter-twc-Bright House would own about 30% share of broadband as defined by the Federal Communications Commission as providing 25 megabits per second of bandwidth downstream. By comparison, Comcast-tw Cable would have controlled roughly 57%.
Still, there’s regulatory risk. Simply being smaller than Comcast may not be a guarantee that Charter’s tie-up with Tw Cable and Bright House will be approved, analyst Craig Moffett wrote in a research note Tuesday.

1 hour ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
When Amy Schumer visits The Bachelorette, we all win. Except for Jj. On Monday night's episode of the ABC reality hit, the Inside Amy Schumer and Trainwreck star hilariously brought this season's self-proclaimed villain Jj, a currently unemployed single father, down a notch or fifty after he said he felt "too smart" for 90 percent of the audience at the comedy club he would soon be taking the stage at. After assuring him he definitely wasn't, Schumer, with wine glass in hand, says she think's Jj is "a sweetheart," except for the fact that he's "just missing, like, charisma and humility and sense of humor." She then went on to say, "Maybe when he sees »
