Take a Look at the Art for the Two-Part Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Play
22 October 2015 8:56 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Pottermore has revealed the poster artwork (above) for the forthcoming Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play — and J.K. Rowling loves it! Rightfully so: It looks appropriately depressing and ominous for a production with its title, à la A Series of Unfortunate Events covers. (Even if, as some have begun to point out, it also does kind of look something like Pac-Man became a mix of Groot and a Golden Snitch and decided to eat a human. Curses!) Playbill adds that the show, based on an original, under-wraps story that is not a prequel, by Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany, will be halved and is meant to be seen either on the same day (matinee and evening) or on consecutive nights. Cursed Child premieres next summer at London's Palace Theatre. You can scope out more information about the play, including priority ticketing, here. »

22 years ago today: 'Nightmare Before Christmas' opened in theaters
13 October 2015 7:00 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
What's this? What's this? It's a "Nightmare Before Christmas" anniversary. 22 years ago today, the Tim Burton-produced film opened in theaters. The stop motion musical has become a lucrative property for Disney, but upon its 1993 release, the House of Mouse put "Nightmare" under its Touchstone Pictures banner because the studio worried it was "too dark, too scary" for kids, director Henry Selick recalled. "Their biggest fear, and why it was kind of a stepchild project, was they were afraid of their core audience hating the film and not coming, when in fact once kids found out about it, it connected with them as well as Tim's regular fan base." "Nightmare" fans looking for new ways to show their love of the film can check out Hot Topic's new "Nightmare" items, unveiled today. Other notable October 13 happenings in pop culture history: 1950: "All About Eve" premiered in New York. It went »

23 Actors Perfect For Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events
3 October 2015 3:05 AM, PDT | POPSUGAR | See recent BuzzSugar news »
Now that we know that amazing trailer for A Series of Unfortunate Events is fake, we're more desperate than ever for new information about the project. Specifically, we want to meet the cast! Fans of the well-known Lemony Snicket novels - written by Daniel Handler - must be as excited as we are, seeing as the original film adaptation was never granted any follow-up installments. Yes, Jim Carrey was a pretty phenomenal Count Olaf, but it's time for a fresh start. To help curb your excitement for the upcoming series, we've imagined who would be an excellent pick for Count Olaf, the Baudelaires, and more characters who appear in the first novel. »

Emily Browning Bashes Film Industry, Says Hollywood Makes Movies For White Men
8 September 2015 9:48 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
While her career has been full of ups and downs, Emily Browning's filmography is definitely not boring. With roles in films such as Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events, Sucker Punch, and Sleeping Beauty, Browning has made a name for herself as a versatile talent who can do pretty much anything. Of course, even the most talented artist has limits to what they'll do for their art. In the case of Emily Browning, that limit is simple: she's done with being eye candy. During an interview with The Guardian, plugging her involvement in the new Tom Hardy film Legend, Browning discussed her early career and how a short stint living in Los Angeles during the filming of Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events started her on a path to learning what she did and did not want to do in the film industry. »
Netflix’s A Series Of Unfortunate Events Lands Barry Sonnenfeld, Mark Hudis
7 September 2015 11:55 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are coming to Netflix, and now we know who will be overseeing the trials and tribulations of the luckless orphans. Per Variety, the online streaming giant has recruited Barry Sonnenfeld and Mark Hudis for A Series of Unfortunate Events, who join the project as director and showrunner, respectively.
Both will executive produce alongside Lemony Snicket creator, Daniel Handler. The recruitment of Sonnenfeld in particular marks an unofficial reunion of sorts, given that the filmmaker was once considered to direct the 2004 big-screen adaptation, before he was ultimately replaced by Brad Silberling. Still no word on shooting or recruitment on the other side of the camera, though today’s report is the biggest news regarding Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events in some time.
Nonetheless, fans of Sonnenfeld’s work will consider his recruitment as a major coup for the Baudelaires’ small-screen outing. Not only has »

Academy Award Film Series: Bardem Fights for Right to Die in Amenábar's 'Sea'
23 August 2015 4:23 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
'The Sea Inside': Javier Bardem and director Alejandro Amenábar. 'The Sea Inside': Outstanding supporting cast help to lift flawed Right to Die drama Alejandro Amenábar's The Sea Inside often verges on melodrama, featuring as its centerpiece a showy performance by Javier Bardem as a tetraplegic man eager to end his life “with dignity.” Its not inconsiderable flaws notwithstanding – including a simplistic “right to die” debate – this real-life-inspired drama is in and of itself both compelling and touching enough to merit a look; but what makes The Sea Inside a must-see are the superb performances of those in Bardem's periphery. The story revolves around Ramón Sampedro (Javier Bardem), a middle-aged man who has been bed-ridden and dependent on the care of others since a diving accident in his early 20s. (Hence the original Spanish title “Into the Sea.”) Yearning for freedom from his mostly immobile body, »

6 July 2015 8:27 AM, PDT | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »
Eleven years after an underwhelming film adaptation, A Series of Unfotunate Events is springing back to life, this time on Netflix. A teaser released on YouTube--but not on the official Netflix channel--appears to give viewers a peek at the upcoming adaptation of the dark children’s book series of the same name.
