NCIS: Origins premiered this week, and Leroy Jethro Gibbs was back in a very different form. Instead of Mark Harmon playing the iconic role, Austin Stowell plays the character as he first joins NCIS as a probe himself, and starts his career. However, Stowell isn’t the first actor to play a young Gibbs, as Sean Harmon played the character in flashbacks on the main series.

Now, Mark Harmon is explaining why Sean didn’t return to the role in NCIS: Origins.

Why Mark Harmon’s Son Isn’t Gibbs In NCIS: Origins

In the original NCIS series, Mark Harmon’s son, Sean played the character of Gibbs in flashbacks to when he was a young NCIS officer. However, with the new series solely focused on Gibbs’ start at NCIS, the show chose to go with Bridge of Spies actor, Austin Stowell.

HBO announced today that Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler have officially joined the cast of the upcoming DC series Lanterns. Aaron Pierre will play John Stewart and Kyle Chandler has been cast as Hal Jordan.

The anticipated series follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.

Lanterns is an HBO series in association with Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios. Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King will co-write the series based on the DC comic Green Lantern.

James Hawes directs the first two episodes. The series is executive produced by Mundy, Lindelof, King, and Hawes.

Aaron Pierre currently stars as the lead in Jeremy Saulnier’s Rebel Ridge, which debuted on Netflix on September 6th and was the #1 title worldwide on the streaming service for three weeks in a row.

It’s official: Emmy winner Kyle Chandler is set to star in Lanterns, HBO‘s high-profile series based on the Green Lantern DC comic. As Deadline reported exclusively last month, the Emmy winner had been in negotiations to play Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern character that was played by Ryan Reynolds in the 2011 movie. After a search, Aaron Pierre was just cast as the co-lead, John Stewart.

The series from Ozark’s Chris Mundy, Watchmen‘s Damon Lindelof and comic book writer Tom King follows new recruit John Stewart (Pierre) 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.

Friday Night Lights alum Kyle Chandler is the latest actor to be invited to try on a Green Lantern Ring, HBO announced Wednesday.

In August, Josh Brolin was offered the role of Hal Jordan in HBO‘s live-action Lanterns series, but as THR.com later reported, the Avengers franchise vet declined the gig. Matthew McConaughey, Obi-Wan Kenobi star Ewan McGregor, Justified gunslinger Timothy Olyphant and Star Trek captain Chris Pine reportedly were also on the short list.

February 2009. Legendary late-night talk show host David Letterman introduces his next guest: Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix. He’s sporting an unkempt beard, dark sunglasses indoors, and behaving like it was his first talk show appearance rather than his hundredth. Even Letterman, who could improv with the best of them, struggles to keep up with Phoenix’s short answers, insisting that he was done with acting so he could focus on becoming a rapper. Turns out, it was an attempt at viral marketing for the upcoming mockumentary, I’m Still Here. Okay, so maybe the interview didn’t tell us much about the movie or drive anyone t to see it, but it did tell us a lot about Joaquin Phoenix, the person and the performer, his deep commitment to his art form, and his obsession with authenticity that brought him through a difficult upbringing and into a wildly successful acting career.

A rumor that Josh Brolin was in talks to play Hal Jordan in the upcoming HBO Lanterns series did the rounds earlier this month, with the trades seemingly backing up the initial report when it was announced that Kyle Chandler had landed the part.

Brolin - who is no stranger to superhero roles having previously played Thanos, Cable and Jonah Hex - has now confirmed that he was in negotiations for the role. The Dune Part Two star declined to go into specifics, instead praising the man who will suit-up as the veteran ring-slinging hero in the Dcu series.

"You know what? Green Lantern didn't work out, but that's okay," Brolin told ComicBook.com when asked if he turned down the role because he was holding out for a better DC character. "It's working out. Who is it going to be, Kyle Chandler? I love him as an actor, I think he's wonderful,...

Netflix has ordered the limited series adaptation of “East of Eden” from writer Zoe Kazan, Variety has learned.

The series was originally reported to be in development at the streamer in June 2022 with Florence Pugh attached to star as Cathy. Now, Christopher Abbott is set to play Adam, with Mike Faist as Charles and Hoon Lee as Lee. Netflix has ordered seven episodes.

Based on the John Steinbeck novel of the same name, the series is said to “explore the multigenerational saga of the Trask family, focusing new attention on its indelible antihero, Cathy Ames.”

In addition to writing, Kazan serves as executive producer and co-showrunner. Her grandfather, Elia Kazan, directed the original film adaptation starring James Dean. Jeb Stuart has joined the project as co-showrunner and executive producer as well. Garth Davis will direct the first four episodes and serve as an executive producer. Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre will executive...

Earlier this week, the somewhat surprising news that Kyle Chandler is in talks to play veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan in the upcoming HBO Lanterns series broke, and we may now know one of the actors in contention to join him as the younger, inexperienced hero he takes under his wing.

According to Mttsh, Damson Idris (33) is one of five actors being looked at for the role of John Stewart.

Idris is an up-and-coming British actor, best-known for playing the lead in John Singleton's crime drama, Snowfall, which debuted on FX in 2017 and ended in 2023 after six seasons. He also played the co-lead in Netflix's 2021 sci-fi action film, Outside the Wire.

This isn't the first time we've heard Idris' name brought up in connection with the character, as comic book writer Tom King - who is working on the show - recently started following him and Aaron Pierre (Rebel Ridge) on social media,...

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.

Lewis Pullman is ready to sink his teeth into defending his hometown in the trailer for Salem’s Lot, which adapts the classic Stephen King horror novel.

The trailer was released Thursday ahead of writer-director Gary Dauberman’s feature hitting Max on Oct. 3. Makenzie Leigh, Bill Camp, Pilou Asbæk, Alfre Woodard and William Sadler round out the cast for the movie centering on writer Ben Mears (Pullman), who returns to his hometown and realizes he needs to defend it against a vampire.

“I’ve always written stories about things that are so terrible, you’ll run away until your brain won’t remember,” Pullman’s character says in the footage.

Later, Woodard warns, “This is not a disease you can catch.”

Dauberman directed and wrote the film that is adapted from King’s 1975 novel of the same name. Michael Clear, Roy Lee, James Wan and Mark Wolper serve as producers on...

Awooo! Universal and Blumhouse have released the first trailer for “Wolf Man,” starring Christopher Abbott as the classic horror monster.

Abbott stars alongside Julia Garner. The film marks an on-screen reunion for the actors, as the pair worked together in 2011’s “Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene,” Garner’s first professional acting role.

This is not Abbott’s debut in the horror genre, having starred in 2017’s “It Comes at Night.” Abbott also appeared recently in the Oscar-nominated “Poor Things” and 2019’s “Catch-22.” Garner rose to acclaim following her three-time Emmy-winning performance as Ruth Langmore in “Ozark.” She was also given a nod for 2022’s “Inventing Anna,” receiving an Emmy nomination for her turn as Anna Delvey in Shonda Rhimes’ limited series.

“Wolf Man” is directed by Leigh Whannell, the “Saw” co-creator who also helmed the 2020 horror hit “The Invisible Man,” which grossed $144 million at the global box office. It is also...

Netflix had no comment on the Abbott casting.

The novel was previously adapted as a film in 1955 with Zoe’s grandfather, Elia Kazan, directing for Warner Bros. The film was also notable for being James Dean’s first major screen role.

Warner Bros. TV has responded to a lawsuit filed Tuesday by Michael Crichton‘s widow, calling the legal move “baseless” and arguing that the studio’s upcoming medical procedural “The Pitt” is very different from “ER.”

“The lawsuit filed by the Crichton Estate is baseless, as ‘The Pitt’ is a new and original show,” the studio said in a statement. “Any suggestion otherwise is false, and Warner Bros. Television intends to vigorously defend against these meritless claims.”

The swift Warner Bros. response comes after the Crichton estate accused exec producer John Wells of a “personal betrayal,” claiming that he and star Noah Wyle came up with “The Pitt” after the Crichton estate blocked their plans to reboot “ER.” “‘The Pitt’ is ‘ER,’” the lawsuit states. “It’s not like ‘ER.’ It’s not kind of ‘ER.’ It’s not sort of ‘ER.’ It is ‘ER’ with the exact same executive producer,...

Space horror Alien: Romulus left us with lots to talk about. Here’s our analysis of its twists, turns and a wild third act. Spoilers ahead:

Nb: This is your final warning for Alien: Romulus spoilers. If you want a spoiler-free exploration, do check out our review instead.

Having seen Alien: Romulus, certain things director Fede Alvarez has said in past interviews suddenly make perfect sense. When he mentioned in a June Q&a that he regards everything from the Alien sequels and prequels as canon, he meant it. His film may be set between Alien and Aliens, but it also heavily references Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, and owes a sizable debt to Alien: Resurrection, particularly in its third act.

When Alvarez said he was unafraid to make a divisive movie that tries to recapture some of the shock value of the original Alien, it’s now easy to see...

By season 3, supporting players such as Kunal Nayyar, Simon Helberg, Melissa Rauch, and Mayim Bialik became fan favorites. However, the three main leads continued to be the top earners from the show and the cast’s pay continued to be raised each season.

It won three Grammy Awards in ’61, including Album of the Year, Spoken-Word Comedy Album and New Artist. Newhart’s first two albums of comedy monologues (the second called “The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back!”) in fact held Billboard’s top two spots simultaneously, a rare feat.

Early Life

Born George Robert Newhart on September 5, 1929, in Oak Park, Illinois, Newhart developed an interest in comedy at an early age. After serving in the U.S. Army, he began a law career but flunked out of Loyola University. He then turned to stand-up comedy. Newhart’s breakthrough came in 1960 with the release of his debut comedy album, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, which earned him three Grammys.

Many of you reading this may know him best from his classic role in Elf, where he played Will Ferrell’s adopted North Pole father, but his legendary career went back decades, with Newhart an Emmy, Golden Globe and Grammy Winner. Originally an accountant by trade, Newhart used to pass the time at work by making crank phone calls. Soon, he developed a stand-up comedy act, which became a monster hit, leading to an album, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, which became the biggest-selling non-musical album of all time and won him three Grammys in 1961.

From there, Newhart became a popular talk show guest before moving into acting. In the seventies, he had a major hit. The Bob Newhart Show,...

As a young man, Newhart served in the Korean War and briefly worked as an accountant, before switching careers and becoming the famous stand-up comedian and actor we've come to know and love.

He first came to prominence in 1960 with his comedy album, "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart," which he followed up with "The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back." His most famous recurring stand-up schtick was playing the straight man to an implied funny man, often pretend-talking on the phone and letting us imagine what the other person was saying.

Actor Martin Delaney has stepped into the shoes of a tech visionary in the new film “The Man Who Saved the Internet With a Sunflower.”

Delaney portrays Robert Ryan, the founder of Ascend Communications who played a crucial role in the early days of the internet. The film has already garnered critical acclaim, recently winning the Competition Features Audience Award at the Dances With Films festival.

The film chronicles Ryan’s journey from humble beginnings to becoming a key player in Silicon Valley during the 1980s and ’90s. It focuses on Ryan’s development of the “pizza box” modem, which revolutionized internet access by offering faster speeds at half the price of competitors. This innovation allowed struggling internet service providers to stay afloat and ultimately led to Ascend’s meteoric rise in the tech industry, culminating in its sale to Lucent Technologies for $24 billion in 1999.

When Paramount Pictures was finally absorbed by a conglomerate in 1966, it had been a long-running Hollywood powerhouse that was now contending with a new set of challenges.

Perfectly described by historian Robert Sklar as “the house Adolph Zukor built,” Paramount was one of the first major studios. As its leader, Zukor set in motion both industrial vertical integration along with a carefully constructed machinery for curating and maintaining celebrity image. Though Zukor was no longer chairman of the board by the time Gulf + Western swept in to take over Paramount, the founding mogul’s influence still permeated the studio gates.

At a time when Hollywood was searching for a new identity — founding moguls were gone or largely retired, shattered self-censorship practices were making way for a modern ratings system, studios were being gobbled up by companies outside of the entertainment realm — Paramount managed to prevail in glorious fashion. Within a couple years,...

I think I can say this on behalf of the entire collective of reporters who cover television: Nothing makes us groan more than when a series star or producer refers to the setting as another “character” in their show.

And yet, I may have to temper my cynicism. Because in the era of prestige TV, often quite a bit of work and effort goes into making the show’s location pop — so much so that I’m almost as excited to watch the background as I am the action.

Could it be that the cliché is right? It certainly feels that way in some of this year’s Emmy contenders, much to the credit of the production designers and location scouts who make that happen. For example, watching Giancarlo Esposito take control of his life through any means necessary in AMC’s “Parish” is powerful — but the fact that he...

Quentin Tarantino‘s movies have a lot in common with Steven Spielberg’s Jaws, as they are all violent, funny, and intelligently crafted. Tarantino may have gone too far by saying Jaws was once the greatest movie ever made. He contrasted Jaws with films from an earlier generation.

Quentin Tarantino said ‘Jaws’ was so much better than every previous movie

In his 2022 book Cinema Speculation, the Kill Bill director had a lot to say about a certain movie about a giant shark. “When Jaws came out in 1975 it might not have been the best film ever made,” he wrote. “But it was easily the best movie ever made. Nothing ever made before it even came close.”

Tarantino’s take is provocative. Spielberg released Jaws in 1975. By that point, many of the most widely beloved films of all time had come out, including The Wizard of Oz, The Ten Commandments, and The Sound of Music.

My friend Robin Browne, who has died aged 82, was a cinematographer specialising in aerial photography and special effects. His was not a name in lights, but he consistently excelled without the razzmatazz of Hollywood. I doubt there is anyone who has seen one of his films and not marvelled at the skills and dangers involved.

He started out as a clapper boy in the late 1950s, and worked on dozens of distinguished films over the next five decades, as camera assistant, operator and as director of photography leading specialist units. A few titles give a flavour: Battle of Britain (1969); Catch 22 (1970); the television series The Adventures of Black Beauty (1972-74), on which he was camera operator for all 52 episodes; three Bond movies in the 1970s; A Bridge Too Far (1977); Krull (1983); A Passage to India (1984); The Jewel of the Nile (1985); King Kong Lives (1986); Gorillas in the Mist (1988); and Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story (2009).

On September 15, Robert Downey Jr. will almost certainly take home his first Emmy as best supporting actor in a limited series for HBO’s The Sympathizer.

It will be the latest coronation in a year of coronations for a star who is undisputedly one of our finest, and it will be difficult to begrudge; what Downey does in The Sympathizer hits that sweet spot between “ridiculously entertaining” and “a whole lot of acting” that award-givers love.

But two things can be true: Downey’s performance in The Sympathizer can be saluted as a dexterous feat of actorly gymnastics. At the same time, it’s the misplaced fulcrum that too often causes this seven-episode adaptation of Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel to lose its tonal and narrative balance.

This version of The Sympathizer is still substantive and audacious, a slab of satire and deeply felt human tragedy that’s worthy of conversation and consideration,...

In a new two-part documentary for MGM+, legendary musician Paul Simon reflects on his career, including details behind the breakup and falling out with his long-time musical partner, Art Garfunkel. “We were really best friends up until Bridge over Troubled Water,” Simon said (per People) in Part 1 of the doc, In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon, which premiered on Sunday, March 17. “[Afterwards], it didn’t have the harmony of the friendship… that was broken.” The popular multi-time Grammy-winning folk duo grew up as high school friends in Forest Hills, New York, and rose to fame in the 1960s, recording countless hit singles and best-selling albums.
