Though I’ve done a lot of set visits, the one I got to do forAlexandre Aja’sThe 9th Life of Louis Draxwas extremely unusual. Not only did I get to visit the set on my own when the film was shooting in Vancouver, I got to conduct video interviews with most of the cast.

As much good will as theAnthony Anderson-led show may have given the channel, however, they have dulled that very same good will with a series of not-great programming/production ideas, the worst of which being today’s announcement that they are moving forward with a newfangledFantasy Islandreboot....

This week onArrow: a reluctant prison break, the baby vigilante birds spread their wings, and Adrian Chase trolls us about whether or not he is the mysterious villain Prometheus. Oh yeah, and there are flashbacks. “Penance” was another solid hour of TV for anArrowseason five that has seen more hits than misses. (Arrow pun!) Though its many storylines could have felt disjointed, they were held together by some good character work, plenty of humor, a few surprises, and some stellar crosscutting....

[Update: There’s now hope for a revival elsewhere, asHulu, Netflix, TBS, and NBC have shown interestin picking up the series.] In a completely bone-headed move, FOX has decided to cancelBrooklyn Nine-NineandThe Mick. This news comes on the heels of the announcement that FOXhas also cancelledThe Last Man on Earth, so it’s a day of bloodshed in the comedy department at the network.

[Update: After hearing on Twitter from a number of fans of bothDuneand Zendaya, I have decided to update the lead and the description of her character in this story, as I agree that Chani is much more than a simple “love interest” for Paul Atreides, and I see how our original headline and character description may have come off as reductive. I haven’t readDuneor seen the original film, and was merely relaying the way the character was described to me by sources....
