A new season of Boardwalk Empire means new characters to replace those who have passed away the previous season. This fall brings Jeffrey Wright of Casino Royale and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire fame on board. As such, he has a pretty prominent role in the year’s first footage-filled teaser opposite Steve Buscemi’s Nucky Thompson. Continue Reading

Check out the teaser promo for the May 12th episode of Game of Thrones. The episode is called The Bear and the Maiden Fair.
The story that was shopped is about athletes living in Miami. This falls right into Johnson’s wheel house as a former college football player for the area, and it should satisfy fans of his role in Pain & Gain. In that particular movie, he played a Jesus fanatic muscle builder who was a cog in Mark Wahlberg’s scheme to steal Tony Shalhoub’s money. Audiences largely considered the character a fan favorite and one of Michael Bay’s best.
Here is the teaser promo for the May 5th episode of Game of Thrones. The episode is called The Climb. True Blood returns on June 16th which means more and more teaser trailers are beginning to surface. This one shows no new footage for the series’ sixth season but that came earlier in the week in the form of B-looks for Eric, Alcide, and Jason Stackhouse. Joining the Jason Stackhouse and Alcide teasers released earlier in the week comes one with Alexander Sarsgard’s Eric for the sixth season of True Blood. This should be fine for now while we await a proper trailer ahead of the show’s June 16th return.
This project is dubbed as a thriller, having a young doctor save the life for an evil 12-year-old sociopath. The unwitting decision comes back to haunt the man who tries to prevent mass genocide resulting from his actions. Deadline adds that Monster was originally set to hit feature film status but it was ultimately a no-go at New Line due to the film’s scope. Let the Game of Thrones comparisons begin as we look forward to hearing more about this unique effort as it rides the developmental pipeline. More B-footage has been teased for the upcoming sixth season of True Blood, this time with Joe Manganiello who plays a werewolf named Alcide on the program. The latest promo follows a similar type of tease starring Ryan Kwanten’s Jason Stackhouse that hit the web on Monday. Look for the series’ return to air June 16. |

Just ‘wow.’ Last week 
We have seen many teasers these past few weeks, but HBO has finally released an official footage-filled trailer for the sixth season of True Blood. The takeaway? Expect the vampire-human war to escalate as if fans did not know that already… 
With The Rock now three-fourths of the way done with his monster February to May stretch, he was yet to fill his time beyond that of Hercules: The Thracian Wars and Fast & Furious 7. That has now changed though as HBO ordered a pilot for a half-hour dramedy that is to star Dwayne Johnson. His Pain & Gain co-star Mark Wahlberg is naturally producing as he continues to maintain a close relationship with the premium network’s top execs. Steve Levinson is writing and Battleship’s Peter Berg is directing.
Hot off receiving season-best ratings on April 28 thanks in part to its Game of Thrones lead-in, HBO has decided to renew Veep for a third season. This is not exactly a surprise given viewership is better than the premium network’s other comedies at the moment, but it is seen as a vote of confidence going forward given that the channel’s first two runs of a series are automatic and anything afterwards has to ‘earn its place.’
The FX series The Strain is not the only television series coming soon from film director Guillermo del Toro. The man behind Hell Boy and so many animated classics through the years is partnering with HBO on a potential program called Monster. Deadline broke the story this afternoon that has Del Toro backing a project based on a series of Japanese Manga from author Naoki Urasawa. He aims to co-write the story with Sherlock’s Steven Thompson.
