10:26 - MOVIES: Kingsman: The Secret Service - Sequel In Development
A sequel to the surprise blockbuster “Kingsman: The Secret Service” is in the works at Fox.
There was no announcement by the studio or a timetable, but there will be a followup to the R-rated comic book adaptation directed by Matthew Vaughn and starring Colin Firth, individuals with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
It makes sense. The London-set “Kingsman: The Secret Service” crossed the $400 million mark at the global box office this weekend. It generated most of that — about $275 million — from abroad.

09:13 - Netflix Orders Green Eggs and Ham
Beverly Hills, Calif., April 29, 2015 – Issued from Netflix headquarters. Delivered straight to all reporters.
We’d love to share some happy news
based on the rhymes of Dr. Seuss.
Green Eggs and Ham will become a show
and you’re among the first to know.
In this richly animated production,
a 13-episode introduction,
standoffish inventor (Guy, by name)
and Sam-I-Am of worldwide fame,
embark on a cross-country trip
that tests the limits of their friendship.
As they learn to try new things,
they find out what adventure brings.
Of course they also get to eat
that famous green and tasty treat!
Cindy Holland, VP of Original Content for Netflix
threw her quote into the mix:
“We think this will be a hit
Green Eggs and Ham is a perfect fit
for our growing slate of amazing stories
available exclusively in all Netflix territories.
You can stream it on a phone.
You can stream it on your own.
You can stream it on TV.

For those of you less poetic, here’s a change in aesthetic:

The animated family comedy is from A Very Good Production, A Stern Talking To and Gulfstream Television in association with Warner Bros Animation, and distributed by Warner Bros. Television.

20:15 - ABC to Save Nearly $10 Million in Patrick Dempsey 'Grey's Anatomy' Exit
While longtime viewers of Grey's Anatomy might be furious over leading man Patrick Dempsey's departure from the series, ABC might be cheering his exit.
Dempsey was among TV's highest-paid stars, earning what sources say was about $400,000 an episode — or roughly $9.6 million for a 24-episode season of the drama, which is produced by ABC Studios.
The actor, 49, was written out when his Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd was killed off in the April 23 episode, which was penned by series creator Shonda Rhimes. Perhaps even more surprising was that Dempsey had another year left on his contract.

20:00 - Salem - Episode 2.06 - Ill Met By Moonlight - Extended Synopsis
The Countess Marburg arrives in Salem bearing gifts for the citizenry and advice for Mary. As she plans her next move, her son Sebastian remains preoccupied by less puritanical matters. While Anne Hale reflects both guiltily and gleefully on her recent activities, Cotton Mather – fueled by magic, alcohol, or perhaps by true emotion – comes to blows with another of Salem’s powerful leaders. The ensuing battle leads to an outcome that might either help or hinder Mary’s plans. John Alden pursues his deadly mission and – finding himself seriously weakened by his recent and repeated uses of unfamiliar magic – seeks respite in a familiar place... with surprising results. Meanwhile, Cotton makes a measured confession, two of Salem’s most damaged residents continue to find solace in each other, Mercy encounters a potential new ally, and Mary seeks out help from an unexpected source.

ReplyDeleteI don't see what good it would do to release this information. ABC is just adding fuel to the fire, I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteThe Last Witch Hunter -
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for this! This one will be fun to watch. I love the score of it already. Let them keep that in the movie please.
Greys-
That's lovely. Very nice that they saved all of that money on PD's contract only to burn it on all of those cancelled shows they're going to have. At least 7, IMO. Idiots. He can make that and more when he gets another show, preferably on cable. A show that won't be a mediocre soap fest.
Broadcast TV is always about money and nothing else. Why are people surprised ABC is thinking like that?
ReplyDeleteABC didn't release it, that's just an calculation since we know how much Patrick made per episode.
ReplyDeleteIf only ABC spend some of the 10 million to get Sandra Oh, Kate Walsh and Tyne Daly to return for the funeral episode.
ReplyDeleteHe's start up pay on a new show won't be anywhere near 400k per episode, but apparently he is more interested in producing a new show atm.
ReplyDeleteSo sad it's not going to hapen :(((
ReplyDeleteI figured, I was just being snippy. I'm glad he wants to produce, I'm sure he'll do great, whatever he decides to do.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Cristina, Sam, Addison, and Naomi couldn't make it because they are all over in Nepal with Doctor's Without Borders helping the Earthquake victims.
ReplyDeleteVEEP: I know the episode aired already, but OMG! The Dan/Amy scenes were amazing!
ReplyDeleteUndateable: Not really interested to see any kind of Candace/Justin romance... hope that falls through fast.
Battle Creek is such a good show. Pity it doesn't stand a snowball's chance... I was hoping we'd get some Milt backstory answers in this last episode, but no dice. Well maybe that guy Milt is talking to in those eppy stills might offer some insight. And at least it's some comfort to also see Holly and Russ get a bit "close" by the season/series end. Not too much, but it's better than nothing...
I liked Kingsmen. Didn't love it but it was good fun. Fingers crossed for the second one to also at least be some good fun.
That was a nice press release for Green Eggs and Ham.
*applauds the Netflix PR department*
I can totally buy that the financial aspect did play a part in Patrick Dempsey's exit from Grey's. I don't think it's the only reason, but I definitely think it was a factor.
