20th Century Studios has unveiled the poster and trailer for their supernatural comedy Darby and the Dead, which is set to be released through the Hulu streaming service in the U.S. on December 2nd. (It will be released on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ under the Star banner in all other territories.) The trailer can be seen in the embed above, and the poster is at the bottom of this article.

Directed by Silas Howard, whose credits include 22 episodes of the TV show Dickinson, from a screenplay written by Becca Greene (Good Vibes), working from a story by Wenonah Wilms (Fem 101), Darby and the Dead has the following synopsis:

After suffering a near-death experience as a young girl, Darby Harper gains the ability to see dead people. As a result, she becomes introverted and shut off from her high school peers and prefers to spend time counseling lonely...

The bright horns and slapping bass of Dolly Parton’s “Sure Thing,” the disco harmonies of Conway Twitty’s “Night Fires,” and the swagger of Ronnie Milsap’s “Get It Up” all get their due on Country Funk Volume III (1975-1982), the latest installment of Light in the Attic Records’ compilation series.

Slated for release on August 6th, the 17-track set is the first in the series to include music from the Eighties. Twitty’s Heart & Soul album, which featured the machismo-heavy “Night Fires,” was released in 1980; Jerry Reed...

If you’ve never seen “The Great British Bake Off,” the trippy new teaser for Season 10 will surely have you salivating.

“Chaos in the supermarkets, as baking fever sweeps the nation,” a faux on-the-street reporter says in the video, while people scurry like rats in the background, grabbing the last flour, butter and milk from the shelves.

And that’s when the kookiness begins:

A zaftig women prays on bended knee to a portrait of celebrity judge Paul Hollywood mounted above her stove; a bearded man in drag and a grandmotherly type enjoy jelly donuts while sitting in a giant cup of coffee; a chorus of tiny coal-covered miners sing from inside a hot oven; a humungous double-layered cake hot air balloon floats high above a picturesque lake.

It's a rough day to be a BBC fan. Digital Spy reports the network has cancelled the TV shows Trust Me, Warren, and All Together Now.

A medical drama, Trust Me starred Jodie Whittaker as Cath Hardacre, a nurse who steals the identity of a doctor to create a better life. The series debuted its second and final season in April 2019.

NBC has given a put pilot commitment to a new church choir comedy, “All Together Now,” from executive producer Bradley Whitford. The “West Wing” and “Handmaid’s Tale” alum may also star in the series.

“All Together Now” is a single-camera comedy about a rural church choir that gets the gift it never thought it needed when a salty, Ivy league professor becomes its director, according to the official logline from NBC.

Lesley Wake Webster writes and executive produces, as will Jason Winer and Jon Radler, in addition to Whitford. The project comes from 20th Century Fox Television.

NBC has given a put pilot commitment to a comedy series with Bradley Whitford attached as an executive producer, Variety has learned.

The project, in which Whitford may also potentially star, follows a rural church choir that gets the gift it never thought it needed when a salty, Ivy league professor becomes its director. It is currently titled “All Together Now.”

The series hails from Lesley Wake Webster, who will serve as writer and executive producer. Jason Winer will also executive produce alongside Whitford. 20th Century Fox Television, where Wake Webster is under an overall deal, will produce.

This marks the second single-camera project that NBC has put into development this season with a major star attached to executive produce and potentially star. Previously, NBC announced it was developing the comedy series “The Obsolescents” with Meg Ryan attached.

Should the project move forward, it would mark a homecoming of sorts for Whitford,...

Germany’s two largest commercial broadcasters have ordered local versions of three big international formats, with Rtl ordering “All Together Now,” and ProSieben moving for “Masters of Dance” and “All Against 1.”

Talent show format “Masters of Dance” (pictured) comes from Israeli broadcaster Keshet. It is distributed by Keshet International, whose German production company Tresor will produce the local version. The format sees thousands of dancers audition to be in a troupe. Under the tutelage of a well-known choreographer, they then go head-to-head with another dance group.

ProSieben has not confirmed scheduling details, but will play the show in its primetime schedule. “’Masters of Dance’ for me is the most exciting dance-format worldwide. It combines big talent with big emotions. I am very happy that ProSieben was able to secure the rights to this show,” said Daniel Rosemann, the broadcaster’s general manager.

So-called Ott aggregators directly address the issue of subscription fatigue by allowing users to group multiple subscriptions under a single umbrella with one account, login, payment preference, and so forth.

Action legend Dolph Lungren has a villainous role alongside Jason Momoa in the forthcoming Aquaman...

A superhero movie wouldn't be the same without a decent supervillain, and it seems that Jason Momoa's debut outing as Aquaman has just cast at least one of its antagonists.

Sooner or later, you're going to see a scary movie.

On Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter released its 2016 Animation Roundtable to the world. That, in itself, isn’t particularly newsworthy (aside from the fact that animation is awesome, of course) but…well, here, have a look for yourself:

We salute the film work of one of Britain's very best, and most versatile, film actors: Mr Eddie Marsan...

Eddie Marsan isn't just one of the best British actors working today – he's also one of the busiest, appearing in all kinds of supporting roles in major movies, while also appearing on TV a lot, on both sides of the Atlantic. He was fantastic as the latter lead in BBC One's Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell last year and he's also a regular on Showtime's Ray Donovan as Ray's brother Terry, an ex-boxer suffering from Parkinson's disease.

On the big screen though, it's Marsan's versatility that really makes him so watchable. He's had attention grabbing turns in minor roles in blockbusters like Hancock, Mission: Impossible III and Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes films, but he's also at home amongst a big ensemble in more serious fare like Spielberg...

Everyone's got a favorite Gene Wilder performance: to younger viewers, he's a fondly remembered face in childhood favorites like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory; to an older filmgoers, he was a brilliantly bawdy performer who owned comedy in the Seventies.

Most actors consider it a privilege to land one all-time classic role over the course of their career — Wilder had more than can be counted on one hand.

Saved By The Bell wasn't just Zack and Slater having a dance off. Yes it was. However, the show also tried its hand at a number of 'very special episodes'.

Margot Robbie is so gorgeous and charming, she has fully convinced us that "llama shoe" is really a thing. The Australian "Whisey Tango Foxtrot" star, soon to be seen as Harley Quinn in "Suicide Squad," was on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" Tuesday night, and earned a sad 0 for 2 in a game of "The Whisper Challenge."

The Aussie first missed "Bondi Beach," which you might've expected her to get since it's a famous beach in Sydney, but Jimmy was pronouncing it wrong. The best part was when Jimmy kept whispering "Labradoodle" and Margot insisted, like five times, that it looked like "llama shoe." When she finally got it, Jimmy did a little victory dance for the both of them.

By the way, the clip includes a references to Prince Harry, which is tied to Margot's story that she unwittingly followed Prince Harry into a photo booth at a party.

ComicMix comments upon pop culture and entertainment and, in this silly season of primaries, politics qualifies as entertainment. Sometimes perverse entertainment, I grant you. I’m from Chicago and I was raised during the reign of King Daley the First so I know from political entertainment. As Studs Terkel said many long years ago, “Chicago is not the most corrupt American city. It’s the most theatrically corrupt.” So that’s my standard.

I was raised Republican but, on reaching voting age, I became a Democrat because that was the only way to vote in a mayoral election that counted in that city – the Democratic mayoral primary. The last Republican mayor of Chicago was “Big Bill’ Thompson was booted out of office in 1931. There is no Republican Party to speak of in Chicago.

So I know from political entertainment, although currently it’s hard to decide to laugh, cry, or go screaming into the night.
