Video Blog: /Film Visits The Set Of ‘The Muppets’ I’m a huge Muppets fanatic. Over the past five years, I’ve been on the set of many movies and interviewed many big-name directors, actors and writers. This is not a brag, this is set-up. In November of last year, I got a tip that the new Muppets movie was filming at Jim Henson Studios on La Brea in Hollywood. Within minutes, I found myself standing across the street, watching as The Muppets performed in front of the Henson lot (which was transformed into The Muppets Studios_....

WTF: ‘Stealth’ Director Turning Sir Isaac Newton Into An Action Hero Today’s a big day forunlikely action film developments; in this case I imagine that Neal Stephenson just started sharpening one of his swords. The author created a very specific portrait of the pioneer scientistSir Isaac Newton, who also worked for a time at the British Mint, for his massive eight-book Baroque Cycle. In Stephenson’s telling, Newton is intensely brilliant, fiercely competitive, reclusive almost to the point of drama, and a scientific pioneer who was also devoutly, unwaveringly devoted to his faith....

‘Dexter’ Reboot Coming To Showtime, Michael C. Hall Returning I can’t imagine anyone was craving moreDexterright now, but I guess I’m dead wrong because Showtime is bringing the series back! ADexterreboot will take the form of a new 10-episode limited series that will bring backMichael C. Hallas the serial killer who learned to harness his murderous impulses by targeting criminals. The show started off rather strong and then went downhill incredibly fast, ending with a finale that slapped a terrible fake beard on Hall and made pretty much everyone unhappy....

‘Gambit’ Will Be An Origin Story, But One That Plays With Superhero Movie Tropes Channing Tatumis going to create a new portrayal of the mutantGambitfor a film centering on the character, with a chance that we’ll see the guy in Bryan Singer’sX-Men: Apocalypsewhen that film opens in May 2016. We figure this version will pretty much wipe out the one played by Taylor Kitsch inX-Men Origins: Wolverine, just as Ryan Reynolds' new version of Deadpool blows away his first turn at the merc inOrigins....
