Though his name was not mentioned along with the likes of Josh Brolin, Ewan McGregor, Matthew McConaughey and Chris Pine when the (rumored) contenders were revealed earlier this month, Kyle Chandler has reportedly landed the co-lead role in DC Studios' upcoming Lanterns series.
According to Deadline, Chandler is now in talks to play veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan, who will take new recruit John Stewart under his wing.
We also have some new plot details, as the story is said to focus on "John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan (Chandler), two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland."
Casting is currently underway for a younger actor to play Stewart.
Stephen Williams is believed to be in talks to direct the pilot, with Lucy Tcherniak rumored to be in negotiations to helm an undisclosed number of episodes.

Josh Brolin was reportedly offered the role of Hal Jordan in the upcoming Dcu Lanterns series, but we recently learned that he had passed. Follow-up reports claimed that Ewan McGregor, Matthew McConaughey, and Chris Pine were also in contention, with Pine expected to get the offer if Brolin declined.
There have been conflicting reports about Pine being in the mix, but he appears to be the most popular choice to take on the role of the ring-slinging hero. Pine has already played a DC Comics character, Steve Trevor, in the Wonder Woman movies, but most fans don't seem to mind since the Dceu is no more.
Now, artist 21xFour has shared some new fan-art of Pine as Jordan, and he certainly looks the part.

While we await word on which actors will step into the co-lead roles of John Stewart and Hal Jordan in HBO's upcoming Lanterns series, we may know who has been enlisted to direct some of the episodes.
Stephen Williams is believed to be in talks to direct the pilot, but according to Daniel Richtman, Lucy Tcherniak is also in negotiations to helm an undisclosed number of episodes.
Tcherniak has previously directed Sunny (2024), Station Eleven (2021) and The End of the F***ing World (2017).
Josh Brolin was reportedly offered the Jordan role, but we recently learned that he had passed. Follow-up reports claimed that Ewan McGregor, Matthew McConaughey, and Chris Pine were also in contention, with Pine expected to get the offer if Brolin declined.
We don't know if Pine is next in line or not, but the trades believe that McConaughey is definitely not in the mix.

[The story contains mild spoilers from the season finale of Sunny.]
In less than five years of its existence, Apple TV+ has carved a niche out for itself as a home to evocative, well-made and interesting science fiction, and the streamer has delivered once more with Sunny, the dark Japan-set retrofuturist comedy that wrapped its first season this week.
Starring Rashida Jones, Sunny tells the story of Suzie Sakamoto, a taciturn American woman living in Kyoto, whose life is upended by tragedy after her husband Masahiko (Hidetoshi Nishijima) and son Zen (Fares Belkheir) disappear in a mysterious plane crash. Poleaxed by grief, Masahiko’s company sends Suzie a domestic robot named Sunny, with artificial intelligence attuned to her particular needs and feelings. As Suzie, reluctantly, begins to bond with Sunny, and eccentric new friend Mixxy (annie the clumsy), the great enigma surrounding the plane crash begins to unravel involving the yakuza and domestic Japanese politics.

Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers for the entire first season of “Sunny,” now streaming on Apple TV+.
As a Japanese actor, Hidetoshi Nishijima often receives offers to play morally gray characters, such as samurais and yakuza members, who are defined by a particular profession and era. But then he was approached for the role of a roboticist whose mysterious disappearance leaves his wife (and the clever robotic companion he designed for her) at the center of a criminal conspiracy in “Sunny,” Apple TV+’s darkly comedic, sci-fi thriller that just wrapped up its first season. Nishijima — who starred in “Drive My Car,” the 2021 Japanese film that was nominated for best picture, and won the Academy Award for international feature — relished the opportunity to play an ordinary man who must wrestle with existential questions about what it means to be human.
“Of course, his profession is a big part of this project,...

Now comes Apple TV’s Sunny, where the chipper but potentially troublesome robot is the title character, and core focus of the plot. One more, and it’s officially a trend!

Companionship comes in many forms. What soothes one person could feel foreign to another, with people, pets, and inanimate objects bringing joy and solace to those affected by various traumas. When Suzie (Rashida Jones), a woman living in Japan, inherits Sunny (Joanna Sotomura), a domestic robot made by her husband’s company, they uncover dark truths about what happened to Suzie’s husband and son, trapping them in a spiral of violence, secrecy, and a war for power. I mean this sincerely: Sunny is my favorite TV series of 2024 so far. So, you can imagine my excitement when I was allowed to speak with members of the cast and creative team: Rashida Jones, Hidetoshi Nishijima, Joanna Sotomura, Annie the Clumsy, Judy Ongg, Jun Kunimura, Sunny creator Katie Robbins, and director Lucy Tcherniak.
During our discussions, Rashida and Hidetoshi reveal the secrets of their incredible on-screen chemistry, acting alongside a robot...

Plot: Set in Japan, the series follows Suzie who recently lost her husband and son in a mysterious plane crash. As consolation, her husband’s company gives Suzie a robotic home assistant with a sunny disposition–aptly named Sunny. A begrudging relationship forms between the two as they set out to figure out what really happened to Suzie’s family.
Review: Love or fear them; robots have been a part of popular culture for over a century. As technology develops, so do the various interpretations of sentient machines. From Metropolis and Star Wars to M3GAN and Optimus Prime, robots are interpreted as everything from comic relief to villainous killers bent on the destruction of mankind. The new AppleTV+ series Sunny takes a darkly funny look at the potential balance between love and hate for robots in a great example of mature storytelling combined with an original take on a timeless genre.

More than 100 key figures from the UK film and TV industry have signed a letter urging the UK government to take “immediate action” against Iranian authorities for “gross violations of human rights and women’s rights” in their response to the wave of public protests that erupted last year.
The industry leaders, including Barbara Broccoli, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Edgar Wright, are calling for the UK government to “actively campaign to stop the violence used against the protesters in Iran, including an immediate stop to all executions” and “demand the release of all political prisoners in Iran.”
“Enough is enough. If the global community, which the UK is an active and influential member of, does not act firmly, these atrocities will continue,” the letter reads. “We need to sincerely support the people of Iran in their fight for justice and freedom.”

The non-linear storytelling in "Station Eleven" makes for even more uneasy moments than your average story about a catastrophic global pandemic. Any scenes that take place before most of the world's population dies out carry an ominous weight to them. "Station Eleven," post-apocalyptic fiction, and recent world events all remind us that while the disease is scary, it is often our fellow humans who pose the greatest threat in these situations.
Among the more foreboding multi-episode storylines set in the early stages of the pandemic is the lockdown of young Kirsten (Matilda Lawler), Jeevan (Himesh Patel), and Frank (Nabhaan Rizwan) in Frank's Chicago loft apartment. While we watch them surviving under difficult circumstances, we do so with basically no hope. We know they end up separated, so we can only clutch the edge of our seats and wait for episode 7's climactic moment.

It takes a lot to be a bombshell. Emmy Rossum transformed into busty billboard queen Angelyne for the eponymous Peacock series, premiering May 19, but the physical embodiment of the performance artist took a toll on the “Shameless” alum.
Rossum, who also executive produces the series alongside husband and “Mr. Robot” creator Sam Esmail, revealed that she spent an average of four to five hours in makeup every day and bleached her eyebrows for the role. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Rossum also got blisters from the fake breasts and suffered tear duct issues from wearing two pairs of contact lenses.
“The physicality of the character was challenging,” Rossum told the outlet. “The body is heavy, yet it has to feel light and effervescent…I found it to be completely liberating to look in the mirror and not see myself at all. At first, it’s unnerving. But feeling lost gives way...

Years into the Covid-19 pandemic, “Station Eleven” suggests we got off easy.
Both the 2014 novel by Emily St. John Mandel and its limited-series adaptation on HBO Max tell the story of a viral plague that decimates the world’s population too quickly for any response. Novel and TV show alike depict both the first moments of global spread and the state of things 20 years on, in a hardscrabble world where humanity’s remnants seek moments of poetry.
Admirers of the timeline-hopping book will be pleased to know that this adaptation, created by Patrick Somerville, attempts to keep Mandel’s style alive. In the main story, an actor named Kirsten (Mackenzie Davis), who’d lived through the beginning of the flu crisis as a child (played in flashback by Matilda Lawler), journeys the Midwest with her performance troupe, the Traveling Symphony. That series-long arc is studded with flashbacks to folks tied,...

Netflix announced the comedy event “Death to 2021” will premiere Dec. 27.
The special tells the story of yet another dreadful year through a documentary style, mixing archival footage gathered over the year with commentary from fictitious characters played by Hugh Grant, Lucy Liu, Tracey Ullman, Samson Kayo, Joe Keery, William Jackson Harper, Stockard Channing, Cristin Milioti, Diane Morgan, Nick Mohammed and more.
In a first-look clip from the special, which you can watch below, an “average British citizen,” played by Morgan, shares her experience with online dating during the pandemic. “I got on quite well with one of them,” says the character. “We even had a cuddle.” The scene then cuts to the pair on a virtual date over Zoom, awkwardly leaning towards their computers.
“Death to 2021” is executive produced by Annabel Jones and Ben Caudell. Nick Vaughan-Smith produces, and Jack Clough and Josh Ruben direct. The special was written by Caudell.
