[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 3 “Final Approach.”] Is there anything that Athena (Angela Bassett) can’t do? We’re going to go with no. 9-1-1 ends its three-episode bee-nado event (the insects are nowhere to be seen anymore) with the sergeant landing a plane on the freeway. With flight attendants and passengers who know CPR switching off with the pilot in cardiac arrest, Athena and her young co-pilot take control of the aircraft. Meanwhile, on the ground, Bobby (Peter Krause) is determined to reach his wife as he drives the stolen truck from the Hotshots set with Buck (Oliver Stark) and the actor who wants to be him, Brad (Callum Blue). “She’s been trying to reach me all day. I need her to hear my voice, and I need to hear hers ...

The look of pure, unadulterated discomfort on Buck’s face in the final moments of Thursday’s 9-1-1 is one we’ll remember forever… or at least until next week.

The show’s three-part premiere concluded on a hilariously awkward note for Buck and Gerrard, the latter of whom returned as captain of the 118 following his brief stint in the hospital. Ever since he saved Gerrard from that flying buzzsaw, Buck has been a nervous wreck, convinced that Gerrard would be furious with him for inadvertently causing his concussion.

The Princess Diaries was not just a regular chick flick, the movie almost became a cultural phenomenon for teenage girls. Anne Hathaway’s shy yet relatable portrayal of Mia Thermopolis earned her massive fame and recognition.

Recent news of the Alice in Wonderland actress returning for a third movie in the franchise has fans thrilled. A bonus to the exciting news was the addition of Adele Lim to the movie. Lim had previously delivered masterpieces like Joy Ride, Crazy Rich Asians, and Life on Mars. With the talented director at the helm of affairs, the upcoming film is sure to surpass the legacy of its predecessors.

From San Francisco to Genovia: The Royal Icon

Anne Hathaway‘s most memorable movies include the 2001 chick lit The Princess Diaries. The film quickly became a fan favorite, especially among teenage girls, due to its majorly fluff content.

Michael Rosenbaum, who played Lex Luthor in Smallville, is opening up about the idea he has for a sequel series in an animated form.

In a new interview, Rosenbaum revealed he and Tom Welling were developing an animated series with the original cast and creators of the show that originated in 2001 on the now-defunct WB network.

“All I could share is that it’s a great idea. We have Al [Gough] and Miles [Millar], the creators of Smallville, backing us up,” Rosenbaum said in an interview with Screen Rant. “When it’s the right time, we’d like to go and do this: pitch to Warner Bros. It has to be the right time, and right now is not the right time.”

He continued, “We had the strike, we had a change of executives at DC — one being one of my best friends in the world, James Gunn. When the time’s right,...

Not all is well in Genovia. On Aug. 25, Princess Diaries author Meg Cabot announced that Princess Mia and the citizens of her fictional European country will be returning in the 12th installment of the book series, "The Quarantine Princess Diaries." The 300-page novel will be Cabot's first Princess Diaries release in seven years, preceded by "Royal Wedding: A Princess Diaries Novel" (2015). Set during the Covid-19 pandemic, the book will detail Princess Mia's personal and professional struggles as the people of Genovia - including the "dysfunctional" royal family - attempt to navigate their rapidly changing environment.

Beyond managing political strife and complex family dynamics, Mia might become intertwined in a "suspected royal affair." For fans of the two-part Disney film series, Mia's love triangle between Nicholas Devereaux (Chris Pine) and Andrew Jacoby (Callum Blue) was entrancing enough. But now that Mia has a pandemic to handle and an entire country to run,...

Callum Blue was grappling with loss when he decided to attend his first Nxivm meeting. "At the height of my popularity, I went through some trauma," the Smallville actor explains in this clip from E! True Hollywood Story's upcoming Oct. 6 premiere. "My father took his own life. And I continued working and I was caught up in this spiral of chaos. 'Cause Hollywood can be a chaotic and noisy place." Trying to come to terms with his father's passing amid the Hollywood havoc, Callum tells the camera he started "looking to the outside world to find the answers." In part, the search led him to several Nxivm workshops, billed then as "Executive Success Programs" (ESPs) meant to help...

Exclusive: Ruby Modine, Michael Ironside, Will Brandt are set to star in the indie drama, American Desert, which is currently in production.

Directed by Adrian Bartol, the story follows Matt Benning, a veteran who served in Afghanistan who finds himself entangled in a dangerous web of drugs, violence, and toxic love that eventually has him running–and hiding–for his life.

Robert Lasardo (Nip/Tuck), Callum Blue (The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement), and Amber Coney (Dead of Summer)also star in the pic which hails from Rbw International Inc.

Bartol and Brandt drafted the script and are producing the project. American Desert is slated to be released mid-to-late 2019.

In today’s film news roundup, Maggie Q and Luke Hemsworth are starring in a horror-thriller, shooting has started in the Mojave Desert on “American Desert” and BAFTA announces its scholarship recipients.

Production Starts

“Designated Survivor” star Maggie Q and Luke Hemsworth will star in the upcoming Thailand-set horror-thriller feature film, “Death of Me,” from “Saw” franchise director Darren Lynn Bousman.

Principal photography is expected to begin Wednesday. “Death of Me” was written by Ari Margolis & James Morley III and David Tish. The story centers on a couple on an exotic holiday who awaken one morning with a hangover and no recollection of what transpired. When playing back the video of their previous night, they learn they participated in a ritual that somehow ended with the husband murdering the wife — though she’s actually very much alive.

Producers are Lee Nelson and David Tish of Ema and Charles Dorfman of Samuel Marshall Productions.

According to VancouverFilm.Net, actor Mark Gibbon ("The Chronicles Of Riddick") portrays 'Kryptonian' super-villain 'General Zod' in the season finale of The CW's "Supergirl":

Zod was previously played by Terrence Stamp in the features "Superman" and "Superman II", Michael Shannon in "Man of Steel" and Callum Blue in the TV series "Smallville".

The character 'Dru-Zod' created by Robert Bernstein and George Papp, debuted in DC's "Adventure Comics" #283 (April 1961), as a warlord from 'Krypton', home planet of 'Superman'. 

Like all Kryptonians under a yellow sun, General Zod possesses high-level superhuman strength, speed and endurance sufficient to stand against 'Superman' and other Kryptonians; super hearing; x-ray vision; telescopic, microscopic and heat vision; super-breath and freeze-breath; virtual invulnerability; accelerated healing and flight.

Due to his background as a Kryptonian general, Zod possesses a detailed knowledge of military tactics, battle strategy and competent military leader. Because he was trained...

Much like some of its other DC TV brethren, Supergirl‘s season finale will be here before you know it. And, if recent reports are to be believed, The CW has one hell of a surprise in store for us.

You see, according to Bleeding Cool, actor Mark Gibbon was recently spotted on set inhabiting the role of none other than General Zod. The outlet expects an official announcement to swiftly follow, which should happen if this proves true because, let’s not forget, official synopses for episodes tend to find their way online three weeks prior to airing. Odds are the episode in question is the season finale, currently slated to air on Monday, May 22, so we should know for certain before long.

This bit of information doesn’t seem like a leap in the slightest, especially when you factor in the knowledge that Tyler Hoechlin is set to...

Lofts can breathe new life into long-abandoned buildings, but in The Charnel House, a haunted space for slaughter should have remained uninhabited. Coming out in theaters and on VOD from Freestyle Digital Media on November 4th, The Charnel House looks to provide viewers with supernatural scares aplenty, and we caught up with director Craig Moss for our latest Q&A feature.

Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Craig. What attracted you to the story behind The Charnel House?

Craig Moss: There were so many elements of this screenplay that reminded me of some of the classic suspenseful/thriller/horror films from forty or fifty years ago. It was just a refreshing change of pace from some of the same old material I’ve read countless times. Our producer Sandra Siegal and writers Mani Isler and Chad Israel did an extraordinary job creating this interesting...

Take away the gore in Peter Nicholson’s story of young hikers and you’d have an attractive promo for Dartmoor tourism

Peter Nicholson’s low-budget horror-thriller starts better than it ends. As two young hikers (Gemma-Leah Devereux, Rebecca Night) are led off the beaten track by a hunky guide (Callum Blue), the first act’s every set-up benefits from the screen-filling backdrops of the eponymous moors. It’s disappointing, then, that Nicholson should retreat from this spectacular stage to a farmhouse haunted by mysterious deaths; doubly so when the relationships, dialogue and action all stop ringing true. Redact the gore, and it’d make an attractive promo for Dartmoor tourism, but A Night in the Woods (2012) hounded its characters far more persuasively over this particular terrain.

Hgtv was planning on airing a new house-flipping show, Flip It Forward. However, following a revelation by Right Wing Watch that the proposed show’s hosts had a history of religious bigotry, stalking an abortion doctor and anti-gay activities like protesting pride celebrations. Hgtv has cancelled the show.

Let’s start with the good news. Despite rumors that Fox might give in to the powerful influence of producer Seth MacFarlane, Fox has decided to cancel the offensive, unfunny Dads. Unfortunately, there’s also bad news — the promising and endearing Enlisted (also the Chris Meloni sitcom Surviving Jack, which inspired strong feelings in few people). In worse news for comedy, the network also passed on two promising-sounding pilots, Dead Boss and Fatrick. Fatrick reunited Ray Ford with Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 creator Nahnatchka Kajhan. Dead Boss was a remake of a British comedy with Jane Krakowski and Amy Sedaris.

TNT has ordered a new supernatural drama called Proof. It will debut some time next year with 10 episodes.

The cast will include Jennifer Beals, Matthew Modine, Joe Morton, Callum Blue, Edi Gathegi, Annie Thurman, Sean Gleeson, and Caroline Rose Kaplan.

You have to respect the workmanlike filmmakers who keep working in our beloved horror department. Say what you will -- be it kind of critical -- of the films of Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson. but there's always something to be said for indie-friendly horror freaks who simply keep churning out the movies. (Their better efforts include Autopsy (2008) and their early and underrated remake of The Toolbox Murders from 2004, although Mortuary, Night of the Demons, and Fertile Ground have their fans as well.)

And hey, the latest collaboration between Gierasch (director) and Anderson (co-writer) is a solid little combo of good ol' occult-based horror nastiness and an appreciable dose of downbeat film noir moodiness. While it has a few solid moments of straight scares and impressive gore, Fractured works best as a low-key character piece that feels like a respectful homage to The Outer Limits or Alan Parker's Angel Heart.

You’ve got to love the fact that the press junket for Adam Gierasch’s latest extreme horror film was held in a bar – in the middle of the day. (Not only was press allowed to imbibe, the open tab certainly was encouraging of vice.)

As the jukebox played and the fermented juices flowed, I sat down with Gierasch and company to ask a few questions about Fractured (formerly, Schism).

The movie’s main male stars – Callum Blue and Vinnie Jones – were not able to attend the event, but that’s okay... we had the lovely and talented actresses, Nicole Laliberte and Ashlynn Yennie, to chat up.

Laliberte plays wild sex kitten Marlena, while Yennie takes on the tamer (though no less-clothed) character of Brandy. It’s interesting to think that maybe the roles would have been reversed. “I got the script and there were two female characters. One was...

Fractured, formerly known as Schism, isn’t really a horror movie. It has a bit of an identity crisis, much like its lead character. Other traits it shares with its lead: It has problems with women, isn’t very captivating, and fails to make much of an impression. Filmmakers Adam Gierasch (co-writer/director) and Jace Anderson (co-writer/producer) have made far better features than this, including the 2009 Night of the Demons remake. Sadly, based on their latest effort they are not progressing. Fractured is shaky and jagged and feels like something from a first-time filmmaker. Callum Blue stars as Dylan, only that’s not his real name. Since waking up from a coma of more than 2 years, he has no memory. He leads a quiet, boring life and is a cook at a restaurant in New Orleans. He sleeps with Brandy (Ashlynn Yennie) from time to time, who notes that...

Don't be deceived by the cover art for Fractured and its "Vinnie Jones is out to get everyone in an effort to rescue a family member" nature. The film, out today from Seven Arts Entertainment, is actually quite Shock-worthy in the sense that it's a Jacob's Ladder/Angel Heart-esque, grisly journey into darkness. It's the latest film from director Adam Gierasch (working from a script he penned with Jace Anderson) and it stars Vinnie Jones, Callum Blue, Ashlynn Yennie and Nicole Laliberte.

More than a century later, the old structure is renovated into a beautiful mansion. It is still rumored to inhabit the ghost of Alice. Despite this, the new owner; the rich and arrogant heir to the Davenport fortune, decides to throw a wild party for his first night in the house.

Treating themselves to some sun-soaked relaxation, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum showed up on the beach in Puerto Rico on Monday (December 9).

Joined by their adorable daughter Everly, the “She’s the Man” hunk and his gorgeous wife walked along the sand while sneaky shutterbugs snapped up pics. Jenna rocked a gorgeous Theodora & Callum Blue Multi Inca Scarf Top as she toted her precious cargo.

Having given birth back in May, Jenna definitely looked fabulous in her turquoise bikini top and beige cover-up teamed with a straw hat.

Channing and his family are making the most of their surroundings while he films “22 Jump Street” on location in San Juan.
