Seth MacFarlane’s new Fox show may not have a name yet – but it has just secured Jon Favreau as the director and executive producer of its first episode. Starring MacFarlane, Adrianne Palicki and Scott Grimes , the comedy (it was never going to be a drama, was it?) is set 300 years in the future, on a spaceship named ‘Orville’. Favreau will continue to work as a consultant over the show’s 13 episodes, the pilot of which will start filming in January. After the success of The Jungle Book, Favreau is confirmed to direct the sequel, staying with Disney to serve as an executive producer on both Avengers: Infinity War and 2019’s currently untitled Avengers film. MacFarlane will soon be heard lending his vocal talents to Garth Jennings’ Sing, and will also pop up in the definitely-still-not-quite-retired Steven Soderbergh’s Logan Lucky.

We already knew it was happening, but now we have a timescale. Following up the stonking original with some alacrity, John Wick 2 will rage into production in the autumn of this year. Keanu Reeves, directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, and producer Basil Iwanyck are all returning for more mayhem. “We have ideas for days and without blinking twice we know we can outdo the action from the original,” Stahelski said a couple of months ago. “It’s the matter of story and how much you like the character. That’s always the most important. If there’s great action but you have a character that no-one likes and doesn’t have charisma you’re not going to watch it. Look at any great action star, whether it’s Harrison Ford or Liam Neeson or Robert Downey Jr., pick a name, you love the guy first. Good action, bad action, you just love them in action. So we want to make sure we have a story and a character that everybody loves and then we’ll dress it with action that we promise will be awesome...

In the follow up to last year’s adrenaline-fueled revenge and redemption thriller, legendary hit man John Wick is back. “With such tremendous fan and critical support for ‘John Wick,’ we knew that there was still so much more of this story to tell,” said Jason Constantine, President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions. “We are thrilled that Keanu, David and Chad have re-teamed with us and promise to bring audiences even more ...

Mockingbird is leaving the nest. By Brandon Wolfe The focus of the recently announced Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off has finally been revealed . The show will center on the characters of Bobbi “Mockingbird” Morse (Adrianne Palicki) and her off-and-on lover, fellow agent Lance Hunter (Nick Blood). The characters were introduced early on in the parent show’s current second season as highly capable operatives working alongside (and occasionally against) Coulson and his team, their tempestuous relationship as former husband and wife being a major focus. The direction of the show has yet to be disclosed, but will be set up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as it winds down for the season. The spin-off is being developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. executive producer Jeffrey Bell and co-executive producer Paul Zbyszewski, who are collaborating on the script and will act as executive producers, with Zbyszewski is expected to serve as showrunner. ABC has not given the series the official greenlight ...

The first film hasn’t even made it over here yet, but John Wick directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch are already mulling over ideas for a sequel to the action thriller, which is in development. John Wick finds Keanu Reeves as the titular tough guy, who has given up bullet slinging for a quiet life after his wife dies. But, because he’s a cinematic assassin, his life can never quite be that easy or calm. On a random errand, he runs afoul of some gangsters who take a shine to his car. Rebuffed, they track him down and take everything, even killing his beloved dog. Enraged, Wick picks up the tools of his trade once more and soon no one is safe... Stuntmen-turned-directors Stahelski and Leitch (the latter isn’t credited but definitely worked on calling the shots) made something that US audiences have embraced as a cult hit and has helped boost Reeves’ career. While there are no specifics on the sequel’s story or even if the star will return, the filmmakers know their focus, as th...

It should come as no surprise that Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will soon feature some sort of tie-in to The Avengers: Age of Ultron . After all, following that big reveal in Captain America: The Winter Soldier , S.H.I.E.L.D. picked up the thread that Hydra had infiltrated its ranks. There was even a small crossover with Thor: The Dark World when the agents were tasked with cleaning up the movie’s aftermath. And the big blue alien that saved Coulson (Clark Gregg) was Kree—so that sort of counts as a Guardians of the Galaxy tie-in, right? Now EW can exclusively reveal that the ABC series will connect to the highly anticipated Avengers sequel. “You should expect something,” executive producer Jed Whedon says. “The Avengers is the big tent that all the franchises play under. Obviously, we’re included in that.” While it’s unclear how the series will tie in to Marvel’s big blockbuster, this probably won’t be as big a crossover as the Winter Soldier once. “I don’t think any m...

TV Review: Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. ".Ye Who Enter Here" By: Brandon Wolfe ‘ Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ’ continues to exhibit surprising sparks of life as its second season inches to the halfway point. The series is finally starting to work out some of its kinks. It’s now possible to get through a full episode without the risk of collapsing into a catatonic stupor. This is progress. The series has found a measure of success in creating a more involving narrative thrust. Last year, it was more of a limp procedural until it began to focus on whatever it was that Bill Paxton’s character was up to. This season, however, the show has cast off the case-of-the-week format entirely and committed itself to an ongoing story thread with several moving parts, some of which are genuinely interesting. The show has also taken some agency with regard to embracing Marvel mythology. Where before ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ functioned as a bottom-feeder, making do with whatever table ...

Is the much-maligned ABC show actually getting better? We pontificate after the jump. TV Review: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “The Things We Bury” By: Brandon Wolfe When did Agent Ward become the most interesting thing about ‘ Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ?’ The character spent the bulk of the first season as the walking, talking embodiment of everything that was wrong with the show. Bland, stiff, wholly uninteresting. The post-‘Winter Soldier’ revelation that he was a secret member of Hydra was where the shift began, but it felt short-lived, something too daring for a show this unremarkable to really run with. When Ward survived the first season and was kept on as a regular, it seemed to indicate that the show was going to backslide on the character, with him working his way back into the group’s good graces and atoning for his many crimes. Yet every time ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ feels like it’s going in that direction, it catches itself and, surprisingly, recommits to Ward’s ...

TV Review: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “The Writing on the Wall” By: Brandon Wolfe “ The Writing on the Wall ” is a busy episode of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,’ which is a good thing. The show has spent so much time dawdling around aimlessly that it’s good to see it breaking a sweat. This week it follows two separate story threads, one involving Coulson and the other Ward, to varying degrees of success. The episode unpacks a lot of information, including a revelation that might provide a window into the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It continues the show’s baby steps toward becoming something perhaps not entirely bad. The tattooed man who was teased in the previous episode emerges again this week, picking up a woman in a bar and taking her home. We learn that both of these people are former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were treated with the alien-derived GHD-25 anti-death serum that both Coulson and Skye were given. It seems that when Coulson was running the T.A.H.I...

TV Review: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “A Fractured House” By: Brandon Wolfe The list of things that ‘ Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ’ did right in its first season is extremely short. In fact, there’s just one thing on it: The post-‘ Winter Soldier ’ reveal that Agent Ward was secretly a member of HYDRA all along. Ward, up to that point, had been the blandly handsome lead agent aggravatingly bereft of any personality. He stood as a totem for the entire show: dull, stiff and generically unenjoyable. Making him a turncoat didn’t solve all the show’s problems, but it shook it up enough to remove a doldrum or two. And, being fair, a series taking its chiseled lead and turning him into a treacherous killer was gutsy in a way that ‘ Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ’ didn’t seem capable of being. The question ever since was how ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ was going to screw up its lone victory. When was it going to decide to backtrack on Ward, whitewashing his crimes enough to get him back on the t...

John Wick combines slick action, perfectly-placed humor, and a puppy. Go figure. In John Wick , Keanu Reeves plays a cold-blooded hitman whose world is turned upside down when a trio of Russian mobsters destroy the one connection to his deceased wife. The action flick - directed by stuntmen Chad Stahelski and David Leitch - takes Wick on a vicious killing spree, as he systematically eliminates his enemies all the way to the top dog Viggo Tarasov, played by Michael Nyqvist. Along the way, Wick will renew old acquaintances, like fellow assassin Ms. Perkins (Adrianne Palicki) and former partner Marcus (Willem Dafoe). As he works his way to the top, Wick becomes the irresistible force to Tarasov's immovable object, taking us full circle to the movie's disturbing opening. Having zero expectations, I found Wick to be completely enjoyable. The action is fluid, the car stunts well-conceived, the humor perfectly placed. For two guys who never sat in the center chair o...

Marvel has unleashed these images that get you to look at Palicki in her Mockingbird tactical suit, designed by costume designer Ann Foley who aimed to do the following with the character… “I looked at all of her comic appearances and really wanted to try to bring elements of the look from the comics into the costume that we’re doing now for the show because I know it’s important to the fans,” “It’s important to me to keep certain elements, but we had to change it, obviously, for practicality, because it had to fit into our world. It had to have a kind of tactical feeling to it too so that it made sense in our universe.” Please Leave A Comment-

TV Review: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “A Hen in the Wolf House” By: Brandon Wolfe It’s gotten to the point where one watches ‘ Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ’ in a predisposed state of defeat. Any time the show does something that sounds promising on paper, it finds a way to make that thing fail in practice. Take the show’s casting of Kyle MacLachlan as Skye’s mysterious father. MacLachlan is a fantastic actor. If given a halfway decent role, he would absolutely crush it. But here, he’s handed a villain role that might as well be torn from the script of an old Van Damme film. He’s angry and he monologues and he grabs women threatening by the throat. Any imposing schmoe could play this role, so why waste Kyle MacLachlan’s valuable time with it? Because this is ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ and wasting people’s time is all it knows how to do. The show adds another new face this week as Adrianne Palicki joins the cast as Bobbi “Mockingbird” Morse. Initially presented as a hard-bitt...
