Thank Arnold! HBO’s ‘Westworld’ Has Been Renewed For A Second Season!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: This is so exciting.

I don’t give myself much time to watch TV these days. Work, life, trying to start exercising, transiting, and more take up the bulk of my days.

That said, I’ve loved every second of HBO’s Westworld that I’ve been able to experience over the last couple of months. It’s beautiful, succinct, mysterious, and offers a world so interesting that I simply can’t get enough of it, and after not hearing and early renewal from HBO (as they often announced) I was a little worried that 10 episodes is all the Westworld we’d get.

Today, with a mysterious teaser on their official Facebook page, HBO revealed that Westworld has been renewed.

Fans of the show, however, will be waiting for quite some time once season one concludes next month. In an interview with EW, HBO’s programming president Casey Bloys noted that “My suspicion is sometime in 2018 because of how big the world is and what goes into shooting it. So I don’t have a date exactly – they’re going to have to map it out and write the scripts – but my guess is sometime in ‘18.”

2018 is better than never. What have you thought of Westworld thus far? Sound out below!

Take A Trip To ‘Westworld’ With This Brand New Trailer

by Shane O'Hare

The more we see about HBO’s upcoming series Westworld, the more I cannot wait for it to air. Check out the newest trailer below to see what I mean.

WESTWORLD is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin, exploring a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged.

Based off the 1973 film of the same name, Westworld takes place in an amusement park of sorts. Attendees can come and indulge in all sorts of fantasies, set in the American Old West.

When the project was first announced, I took it upon myself to wrangle up a copy of the Michael Crichton original. I highly suggest the film to any Sci-Fi fan out there.

HBO’s Westworld airs October 2nd and stars Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Ben Barnes, Jimmi Simpson, Clifton Collins, Jr., Simon Quarterman and Angela Sarafyan.

D23 2015: Powerline Performs Live At The ‘A Goofy Movie’ Reunion Panel

by Josh Jackson

At the D23 Expo this past weekend, the cast of A Goofy Movie, the mid-90’s father-son film that has since become a cult classic, reunited to discuss the film 20 years after its release. Bill Farmer and James Marsden, who played Goofy and Max respectively, took the stage alongside the rest of the voice cast while the folks in the crowd got their own cans of Cheese Whiz to craft their own leaning towers.

But more importantly than all of this, (if that wasn’t awesome enough,) Powerline himself took the stage with a full performance of I2I from the film! 90’s R&B singer Tevin Campbell, flanked with a set of backup dancers, reenacted the final moments of the film in what was the most amazing thing to happen at D23, if not ever.

Watch the performance and tell us how much you agree! Any fond memories of A Goofy Movie? Comment below and see if we see eye to eye!

by Shane O'Hare

Wow. Just wow. From the moment the teaser trailer for HBO’s 2016 show Westworld started I was hooked. No hyperbole here folks, I’m fucking sold.

Westworld is based off of the 1973 film of the same name, which just so happens to be Michael Crichtons first feature film.

HBO says their newest show is

A dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future of sin.

Like I said up top there, I was instantly sold. The vibe I got right away really checked all my boxes and I cannot wait for this show to start.

Westworld airs on HBO sometime in 2016. BUT, you can get a first look at it TONIGHT just before the season two finale of True Detective.

RUMOR: Fox Wants James Marsden And Halle Berry Back For ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Shawn Madden

Filming is set to being in April of next year on the beyond highly-anticipated X-Men: Days Of Future Past, and we should expect to see quite a few more casting reports  for the upcoming sequel. Bryan Singer has already confirmed that James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult will return for the film, as well as Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen reprising their roles from the original trilogy. It has also been revealed that Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman is in talks to join the fim.

Well, it looks like there’s a chance we may be getting even more of the original cast back. Word on the streets is that Fox wants James Marsden and Halle Berry to reprise their roles as Scott Summers aka Cyclops and Ororo Munroe aka Storm. While many may not care about Halle Berry returning, there are plenty of people out there who would be overly excited to see Marsden return after Scott Summers getting the shaft in X-Men: The Last Stand.

The original storyline that this film is based on deals “with a dystopian alternative future in which mutants are incarcerated in internment camps.” So, having these characters appear for small bits in the future segments can totally work easily. None of this is confirmed at the moment, but our fingers are definitely crossed that this one happens. Well, actually we just want Marsden to come back.

X-Men: Days Of Future Past is scheduled to hit theaters  July 18th, 2014.

Universal Reveals The Official Plot Synopsis For ‘2 Guns’

by Shawn Madden

Universal Pictures has reveal the official plot synopsis for the upcoming 2 Guns, which is based on Steven Grant’s graphic novel of the same name and published by Boom! Studios. The movie, that is currently in production at the moment, is directed by Baltasar Kormakur (Contraband) and starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington as well as Paula Patton, James Marsden, Bill Paxton, Fred Ward and Edward James Olmos.

Academy Award winner Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg lead an all-star cast in 2 Guns, an explosive action film that tracks two operatives from competing bureaus who are forced on the run together. But there is a big problem with their unique alliance: Neither knows that the other is an undercover federal agent.

For the past 12 months, DEA agent Bobby Trench (Washington) and U.S. naval intelligence officer Marcus Stigman (Wahlberg) have been reluctantly attached at the hip. Working undercover as members of a narcotics syndicate, each man distrusts his partner as much as the criminals they have both been tasked to take down.

When their attempt to infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel and recover millions goes haywire, Trench and Stigman are suddenly disavowed by their superiors. Now that everyone wants them in jail or in the ground, the only person they can count on is the other. Unfortunately for their pursuers, when good guys spend years pretending to be bad, they pick up a few tricks along the way.

2 Guns hits theaters August 16th, 2013.

James Marsden Joins Cast Of ‘Two Guns’

by Shawn Madden

While James Marsden may be returning to the comic adaptation world it won’t be as Scott Summers. Yes, I did like him as Cyke. Marsden will play a naval commander in Universal’s adaptation of ‘Two Guns’.

The movie already stars Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg with Edward James Olmos in negotiations.

About ‘Two Guns’: “A pulp story about cops and thieves and the men that are something in between. Trench has targeted a local bank to rob, and asked Steadman in on the job. Trench figures it’s a great way to score — considering it’s a cover for mob money. They’ll be thieves ripping off thieves. But what Steadman doesn’t know is that Trench is a DEA agent. And what Trench doesn’t know is that Steadman’s a Naval Intelligence officer. They’re both cops! And neither one knows that they’re not robbing the mob, they’ve been set up to steal $50 million from the CIA! A light-hearted crime romp in the vein of Ocean’s Thirteen and The Italian Job from comics legend, Steven Grant!”
