Norman Brokaw's Mentee Pens Tribute to the Legendary William Morris Agent
7 November 2016 6:40 AM, PST | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
I called him Uncle Norman. I began my career in the mailroom at William Morris on Oct. 23, 1978. His stories about Marilyn Monroe, Kim Novak, Barbara Stanwyck and Loretta Young were spellbinding. He made sure I was introduced to Wma's most successful agents — Jerry Katzman, Tony Fantozzi, Lou Weiss and Larry Auerbach. In 1995 I became worldwide head of television, and Norman and I lunched regularly at Hillcrest Country Club, where he introduced me to his most important clients: Bill Cosby, Gerald Ford, C. Everett Koop, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Mary Hart, Jaleel White and Liza Minnelli. I learned so

Just one week after director Tim Miller left his highly-anticipated sequel Deadpool 2, the filmmaker has found his next project. Today we have word that Tim Miller has signed on to develop and executive produce Sony Pictures' Sonic the Hedgehog movie.

The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Tim Miller will develop the project with his longtime Blur Studios partner Jeff Fowler, who will make his directorial debut with the project. Neal Moritz is also attached to produce this video game adaptation, with Patrick Casey and Josh Miller (Golan the Insatiable) writing the script. Here's what Tim Miller had to say about his partner Jeff Fowler.

‘Luke Cage’ Is Reimagined as ‘Family Matters’ in Fan-Made Video
11 October 2016 1:39 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Marvel and Netflix’s “Luke Cage” series just got a little better, thanks to a fan-made video that reimagines the superhero series as the ‘90s sitcom “Family Matters.” Created by YouTuber Zach Ace, the video uses the characters of “Luke Cage” and inserts them into the opening credits sequence of the family show.
The mashup begins with a shot of New York, a barber shop and introduces viewers to Frankie Faison, who portrays Henry ‘Pop’ Hunter. The show’s tone quickly changes from serious to happy-go-lucky with the addition of the song “As Days Go By” playing in the background and the shots of the rest of the cast smiling and laughing. To top it off, the clip also pokes fun at Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) by calling Rob Morgan’s character Turk Barrett, Turkel.

Review: 'Atlanta' welcomes a very different kind of Justin Bieber
27 September 2016 7:31 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
A review of tonight's Atlanta coming up just as soon as I make sure that you die homeless... After separating the trio of main characters into two groups, and two subplots, the last few weeks, Atlanta goes for a trio of short stories — one basically a one-panel comic sketch — in the wryly clever "Nobody Beats the Biebs." The title story is on one level a pretty basic one about Alfred coming to grips with both his relative level of fame and the public persona he's cultivated as Paper Boi. Though he gets to play on a charity basketball team with the likes of Jaleel White, he's clearly just filler — a local "celebrity" brought in to make sure the teams are even — and is being largely ignored even before "Justin Bieber" rolls up, looking very unlike what we're used to seeing — because he's being played by a black actor (Austin Crute »

19 September 2016 8:35 PM, PDT | POPSUGAR | See recent BuzzSugar news »
Calvin Johnson showed some serious moves when he hit the dance floor with his partner Lindsay Arnold on Dancing With the Stars on Monday night. Dressed in suspenders and high-water jeans, the former football wide receiver channeled his inner Urkel as he danced to the Family Matters theme song. Of course, the best part came when Johnson came face to face with the real-life Urkel, Jaleel White, backstage. Having previously been a contestant on the show himself, the actor had nothing but kind words about his performance. The two even snapped a cute photo together after the meetup. Do we sense a bromance brewing? .@jaleelwhite officially approves of @calvinjohnsonjr's Urkel impersonation! #TeamLindsatron #DWTS pic.twitter.com/Rg8hTLsFBv - Whipclip (@whipclip) September 20, 2016 A photo posted by Calvin Johnson, Jr. (@megatron) on Sep 19, 2016 at 6:06pm Pdt »

[[tmz:video id="0_camnlubl"]] Jaleel White thinks Nike just blew it with Steph Curry ... saying mispronouncing the Mvp's name -- calling him someone from White's hit show "Family Matters"-- was a $14 Billion Mistake. We got White leaving Craig's in L.A. and asked him about the reports that Curry soured on the honchos at the swoosh when a Nike rep called him "Steph-on" instead of Stephen. Jaleel knows the name ... it was the same moniker he used playing »

10 Questions We Hope Fuller House Answers About Our Beloved Tanner Family
25 February 2016 9:10 AM, PST | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
We could have called the Veronica Mars movie. We could have guessed that Twin Peaks would get a reprieve from cancellation. And it made sense that The X-Files would get a follow-up series. But Full House? All these years later? This is one we didn't see coming. We got eight seasons and 192 episodes detailing the life lessons learned by Danny Tanner (Bob Saget), his three daughters and all the other people who came through the beautiful San Francisco Victorian they called home. And yet we're getting more in the form of Fuller House - this Friday, in fact, in true Tgif style. »

At the time, no release date was announced, and we haven't heard anything about this movie project since then. But thanks to a new interview, we now know the project is still on track. The World Folio recently spoke with Sega Sammy Group CEO Hajime Satomi, who confirmed that the Sonic the Hedgehog movie is being planned for a 2018 release date.
"Sega Sammy Group is currently planning with Sony Pictures to create a live-action and animation hybrid Sonic the Hedgehog movie scheduled for release in 2018. Like with this CG animation production, we would like to expand our business into other entertainment areas beyond what we are currently involved."
