Movie News: Jon Tenney Joins Stepfather and More | Today's News: Our Take | 2/28/2008
The Closer's Jon Tenney has joined the remake of 1987's The Stepfather. Tenney will play a dad trying to reconnect with his teen son (Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley) after a divorce. Oh, and Hidden Palms' dewy Amber Heard is now playing Badg's GF, a role previously eyed by FNL's Adrienne Palicki.... Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood) will star in and exec-produce Gigantic, an offbeat comedy about a mattress salesman and a woman he meets in his store. Zooey Deschanel will also star.... DreamWorks Animation has pushed the release of the 3-D How to Train Your Dragon to March 26, 2010, after realizing the original November '09 date was overcrowded with other 3-D flicks: A Christmas Carol (starring Jim Carrey) and James Cameron's Avatar. — Adam Bryant read more
Not Feeling Super? The Football Haters' Survival Guide! | TVGuide.com's Strike Recovery Guide | 2/1/2008
Let's face it, it's pretty hard to avoid the Super Bowl (Sunday on Fox at 6 pm/ET, by the way). But to some people the big game and its inescapable surrounding hoopla is anathema. With that in mind, we present this Football Haters' Survival Guide, a few decidedly non-sporty shows that should appeal to those who think a flea-flicker is a way to kill bugs. — Joseph Hudak• Fans call the plays in Discovery's 18-hour viewers'-choice marathon of Mythbusters, beginning Sunday at 9 am.• Kyra Sedgwick's tireless Brenda Johnson pulls a 12-hour shift as TNT kicks off a marathon of The Closer at noon with the second-season opener, which finds Brenda investigating the double murder of a detective and a drug dealer.• Puppy Bowl IV (Animal Planet, 3 pm): Baby dogs romp and roll for three hours inside a pup-sized football stadium in the third-annual cutefest, which repeats through 3 am.• Food Network takes the cake with six hours of shows about wedding cakes, beginning... read more
GH Exclusive! Sarah Brown Previews Her "Wild" Return | Soaps News | 1/18/2008
A funny thing happened in the six-plus years since Sarah Brown left General Hospital — the role of Carly, the hell-raising, rollerblading tomcat she created back in 1996, was recast. A lot. With Laura Wright now embedded in the role, when Brown resurfaces in Port Charles on Jan. 31, she will have a brand-new vixen to bring to life — Claudia Zacchara, the prodigal daughter of mob boss Anthony. Here in Part 1 of TVGuide.com's exclusive sit-down with Brown, the three-time Daytime Emmy winner shares how her GH return came about and reveals why she is excited to be back. — Matt Webb MitovichTVGuide.com: When did the talks to return to GH first start up?Sarah Brown: Oh, I want to say about five months ago. It was a really interesting happenstance. TVGuide.com: Was it a call from [ABC Daytime president Brian] Frons or...?Brown: No, it was nothing like that. First, I haven't seen Maurice [Benard, Sonny] or anybody from the show — except for Tava [Smiley, ex-Chloe] and... read more
Will the Strike Force The Closer to Close Up Shop? | WGA Post-Strike Watch: News About Returning Shows | 1/11/2008
The Closer herself may be used to ending negotiations to her satisfaction, but this time it seems like Brenda has met her match in the WGA strike. "We were due to go back into production in about a month and we can't, because the writers need a two-month head start before we can get to work," J.K. Simmons, who plays Chief Pope on the TNT hit, told TV Guide at this week's Critics Choice Awards. "I think that if we're not back at work by sometime in April, there is no way we can deliver episodes in the summer. If that becomes the case, I don't know if TNT is willing to push it into the fall or if we lose an entire season." In the meantime, Simmons is enjoying the success of TV's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and Juno, both of which he has roles in and both of which nabbed awards on Monday. "Juno is richly deserving of all the attention it's getting," he says. "Diablo [Cody]'s script, Jason [Reitman]'s direction, all of the cast... it's really something I am proud to be in." —... read more
