KALEY CUOCO RETURNS WITH POST-‘BIG BANG THEORY’ PROJECT ‘THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT’

Image
CHAD CHILDERS   June 30, 2019 ⏱️ 5:30 AM That didn’t take long. With  The Big Bang Theory concluding its 12-season run, actress  Kaley Cuoco  has found her next major project. She’ll star in and executive produce the new thriller drama  The Flight Attendant  for Warner Media’s streaming platform. According to  Variety , Cuoco’s deal is part of a larger pact with Warner Bros. TV Group that includes a two-year pod deal for her production company, Yes, Norman Productions, and a talent holding deal for Cuoco beyond the  Flight Attendant  TV film. “I love that Warner Bros. is my home away from home, and I couldn’t be more excited to continue this incredibly collaborative and gratifying relationship,” Cuoco said in statement. “They’re stuck with me now!” The TV film centers on a flight attendant who wakes in her hotel room hungover with a dead body lying next to her. Unable to recollect the night before, she heads...

‘AVENGERS: ENDGAME’: ALL THE NEW FOOTAGE IN THEATERS NOW

🤵 BITTU SHARMA  June 28, 2019  ⏱️ 12:30 AM As promised, a new version of  Avengers: Endgame  arrived in theaters today, supposedly the last big push for the film before it leaves theaters, hopefully (at least as far as Disney’s concerned) as the new #1 biggest film of all time. Marvel said fans that they would get “a video introduction by director Anthony Russo and an unfinished deleted scene from the film, and it will be a chance for fans to get a head start on the upcoming Marvel Studios’ “Spider-Man: Far From Home” via a special sneak peek!” The “unfinished deleted scene” involved the Hulk, and would have introduced the character instead of the way he’s revealed in the film, having lunch with Captain America, Black Widow, and Ant-Man. In this new scene, with very crude special effects (hence “unfinished”), the Hulk rescues people from a fire. That’s when he gets a phone call and answers “Stev...

‘SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME’ REVIEW: ANOTHER FUN SPIDEY TALE OF POWER AND RESPONSIBILITY

🤵 MATT SINGER   Date : June 27, 2019 ⏱️ 12:30 PM The following review contains no spoilers for Spider-Man: Far From Home. It does spoil the hell out of Avengers: Endgame, though, so be aware of that. Spider-Man: Far From Home is best viewed as the dessert at the end of an elaborate and overindulgent tasting menu. You’ve already eaten six courses, you’re totally stuffed and in no mood for more food, and then they bring out the cookie sampler with eight different kinds of homemade sweets and of course you eat it and you’re even more full than before but it was worth it because the cookie sampler is amazing. That’s Far From Home. Just two months after Avengers: Endgame — literally the biggest superhero movie ever created — I’m not sure anyone is dying for another Marvel movie already. But the one that Marvel (and Sony, who holds the big-screen rights to Spidey and co-produces his movies) have produced is light and frothy and sweet. It’s a lovely capper on the 23-...

HOW DOES THE NEW ‘TWILIGHT ZONE’ COMPARE TO THE ORIGINAL?

CBS 🤵 MATT SINGER June 27, 2019 ⏱️ 11:30 AM Starting today, CBS All Access has submitted a new version of   The Twilight Zone  for the approval of its subscribers. Produced and hosted by  Get Out  and  Us  director Jordan Peele, the show is heavily indebted to the original version of the series, which ran for five seasons in the 1950s and 60s, and was created, produced, and hosted by writer Rod Serling. Peele’s  Twilight Zone  is actually the third such revival of the landmark sci-fi anthology, following versions in the mid-1980s on CBS and syndication, and one in the early 2000s on UPN. No matter the iteration, every subsequent  Twilight Zone  has been compared to the first. Serling’s  Twilight Zone  was never a massive ratings success in its day, but decades of syndicated reruns, VHS and DVD compilations, and holiday marathons, have transformed it one of the most celebrated and influen...
