17:16 - Henry Simmons and Brett Dalton pull out of AC Boardwalk Con for filming conflict
Thanks to MurderMondays for the following.
Henry Simmons and Brett Dalton pull out of AC Boardwalk Con for filming conflic tHenry Simmons("Mac") and Brett Dalton("Ward") both pulled out of their scheduled appearance at the convention due to their filming schedule. That's pretty normal. Even after a season is wrapped there are re-shoots. However, the interesting thing here is that the Agents of SHIELD season 2 finale airs on May 12th. The convention is scheduled for May 14th and 15th.
Are they perhaps shooting scenes for the potential spin-off?
10:18 - Leaked Sony e-mails reveal intent to nab Smash Bros. film rights
The fallout from Sony Pictures' giant e-mail leak in late 2014 continued after WikiLeaks began hosting the infamous collection of messages and attachments on Thursday. As a result, some of the leak's smaller revelations have begun coming to light. Among those is a series of messages about an interesting Sony Pictures plan: to acquire the film rights to the Super Smash Bros. game franchise and other Nintendo properties.
Two messages addressed to former Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal—who stepped down shortly after the leak—referenced Nintendo's fan-service fighting series by name. One of those, sent in February 2014, referred to a "full court press" about the series, along with a meeting with producer Avi Arad who had been "planning to meet with his Nintendo guy (who he has been courting for a couple of years) when he goes to Japan." The other, sent directly to Arad by Pascal, was a November link to a story about the then-upcoming Amiibo toy line, which she described as an "interesting bit on Smash Brothers."
An untitled February e-mail conversation between Arad and Pascal was more vague; it referred to a "five year chase" of trying to lock down film rights to characters in the Mario, Zelda, and Donkey Kong series—all of whom figure in Smash Bros., among other games. Another vague e-mail, sent in July by Arad to Pascal, talked about a trip he was taking to Japan: "I am going to try and bring back a little plumber," he wrote. "I guess we can all use our pipes cleaned." He then asked whether Pascal was also interested in Pokemon, "the other property I am working on with Nintendo," and added that he was looking forward to "our big, big project."

09:00 - Sterling K. Brown To Play Christopher Darden In ‘The People V. O.J. Simpson’
FX’s American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson has cast another key player in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. Army Wives alum Sterling K. Brown has been cast as prosecutor Christopher Darden in the miniseries, which takes a look at the O.J. Simpson trial told from the perspective of the lawyers that explores the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court, and how a combination of prosecution confidence, defense wiliness, and the LAPD’s history with the city’s African-American community gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt.
