Say What? ‘Psych: The Movie’ Is In The Works!

by Natalie Kipper

Some say the most iconic crime-fighting duo are Batman and Robin but I would argue that the title belongs to characters Shawn Spencer (James Roday) and Burton “Gus” Guster (Dulé Hill) from USA Network’s comedic mystery series, Psych. The show has been off the air for three years but is still a fan-favorite.

For Psych-os hoping for a reunion episode, their prayer has been answered several times over with the announcement that USA Network will air Psych: The Movie this December. The two-hour special gives a glimpse into the lives of Shawn and Gus three years after the end of the show. Lassiter (Timothy Omundson), Juliet (Maggie Lawson), Henry (Corbin Bernsen), and Chief Karen Vick (Kirsten Nelson) will also make a grand return.

If you can’t wait until December, there is a chance you might not have too. Take this with a fistful of salt but there is speculation Psych might be present in some capacity at San Diego Comic-Con this July. The series had been a fixture at the con when it was on the air so it isn’t too farfetched to imagine that the TV movie would be promoted there as well. How awesome would that be?

Pro Wrestling’s Cody Rhodes To Appear On ‘Arrow’ This Season!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It looks like the Stephen Amell / Cody Rhodes feud is not quite finished yet, which I certainly wouldn’t have expected based on the fact that Rhodes left WWE back in May.

Amell himself had multiple RAW appearances throughout last year, and faced Rhodes’ Stardust character in a tag-team match during WWE’s Summerslam Pay-Per View last August.

Both Amell and Rhodes appeared at the “Wrestling Rivals” panel at Heroes & Villains FanFest in Secaucus, N.J. During the event, Amell let loose that Rhodes would appear in the third episode of Arrow‘s upcoming fifth season.

No information was revealed about Rhodes’ role, but Rhodes teased that “You can probably expect Stephen and I to get into another fight.”

We can’t freaking wait. The rivalry has been hilarious thus far, and as disappointed as I was when Rhodes left WWE in May (because I’m a huge fan and would love to see him in the ring as much as possible), I’m certainly glad that Rhodes appears to be making his rounds.

Are you looking forward to Arrow‘s fifth season? What did you think of last year’s offering? Be sure to sound out in the comments below!

Stephen Amell of ‘Arrow’ Will Be at WWE Raw Next Week

by Eric Francisco

Stephen Amell is coming (back) to WWE Raw.

For weeks Stephen Amell, star of DC and The CW’s Arrow and Stardust, a.k.a. Cody Rhodes, the son of the late Dusty Rhodes, have been teasing each other with a possible-ish match at SummerSlam, scheduled for August 23rd in Brooklyn, New York. While it’s unlikely to happen due to the fact that regardless how phenomenally in-shape Stephen Amell may be, he isn’t a trained professional wrestler, surely something is going to happen. A really intense staredown, I bet.

We’ll know what happens when Stephen Amell shows up at Raw in Seattle next Monday.

Celebrities showing up to, ahem, “wrestle” has happened two million times before — David Arquette, Jay Leno, basically all of WWE Raw in 2009, hell this won’t even be Stephen Amell’s first time — but with how many safeguards even the WWE’s own roster must go through today I don’t think we’ll see a legitimate Arrow vs. Stardust match. He’ll probably be Neville’s Bobby Heenan, cheering him to make Stardust fail Seattle or some shit. Can’t risk a major TV star injuring himself and unable to shoot his show, can they?

Gonna go on a limb and say Raw might be a cross-promotional platform with some blessing from the suits for Amell to debut the new suit, since the WWE is using that particular image for this appearance.

USA’s ‘Dig’ Pushed To 2015

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: USA’s great-looking new event series, Dig, will not premiere this Fall as it was originally scheduled to.

Middle-Eastern conflict has caused numerous production issues for the six-episode (to start) series, which was originally slated to film in Jerusalem for its entirety, but was later moved to Croatia.

The series “tells the story of Peter (Isaacs), an FBI agent stationed in Jerusalem who, while investigating a murder of a female archeologist, uncovers a conspiracy 2000 years in the making that threatens to change the course of history.”

SJ had the awesome opportunity to sit down with the cast and producers back at SDCC, and it’s safe to say that we’re damned excited for the premiere… sometime next year.

Are you down for Dig? Or does the name Tim Kring make your toes curl (and not in a good way)? Sound out below!

USA Brings “Dig” to SDCC

by S.J. Borger

Dig, the new USA series from Tim Kring (Heroes) and Gideon Raff (Homeland), investigates a mystery surrounding an archaeologist that has its roots in a conspiracy dating back 2000 years. The cast and showrunners will be at SDCC to discuss the show, offering sneak peeks and details as what we can expect when the show premieres in the Fall.

USA Network's DIG

The panel will be on Thursday, July 24th, at 11:30 a.m. at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel, Indigo Ballroom, and will feature  Alison Sudol (Emma),  Kring (creator and executive producer), Carol Barbee (DIG writer) and SJ Clarkson (DIG pilot director). Other possible attendees are Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter), Anne Heche (Hung), Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under) and executive producer Raff.

Dig follows Isaacs as FBI Agent Peter Connolly, who is stationed in Jerusalem and begins investigating the mystery around Emma (Sudol) and probably running up against stonewalling bureaucrats, impatient bosses and international intrigue. Heche plays Lynn Monahan, head of the Jerusalem FBI Office. The trailer looks pretty intriguing.
