‘Carol’ And Netflix Earn Big Golden Globe Nominations

Rosemary Vega — Fri, 11 Dec 2015 04:29:42 +0000

The Hollywood Foreign Press announced the nominations for the 73th Annual Golden Globes on Thursday morning.

Todd Haynes’ period piece “Carol” (based on the book “The Price of Salt” by Patricia Highsmith), received the most film nominations, with a total of five. The film will go up against “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “The Revenant,” “Room,” and “Spotlight” for Best Motion Picture Drama. “Carol” also received a nod for Best Original Score and Best Director. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, who star in the film, will go head to head in the Best Performance By an Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama category.

But that won’t be the only interesting competition during the award show. Christian Bale and Steve Carell both earned acting nominations in a musical or comedy for their work in “The Big Short.” Although Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer didn’t star in a film together, the two new best friends will face off in the Best Performance By an Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy category for their work in “Joy” and “Trainwreck,” respectively. We can’t wait to hear some serious smack talk (Or most likely comedic adoration) between these ladies.

On the television front, it seems that streaming services are taking over. Netflix proved to be a force to be reckoned with at the Golden Globes back in 2013 with “House of Cards” and “Orange is the New Black.” This year, Netflix had more nominations than any network with 8, beating HBO by one nod. But Netflix isn’t the only streaming service that appears. In the category for Best Series, Music or Comedy, Netflix’s “OITNB” will go up against Hulu’s “Casual” and Amazon’s “Transparent” and “Mozart in the Jungle.” The only two nominees from a tradition network are both HBO’s, “Silicon Valley” and “Veep.” It looks as though the “Modern Family” sweep from years past is finally over.

The Golden Globes will be hosted by Ricky Gervais on January 10 on NBC. Check out the full list of nominations below.

Netflix To Be Home Of Selena Gomez’s ’13 Reasons Why’ Series

Rosemary Vega — Fri, 30 Oct 2015 03:35:41 +0000

Netflix has provided a straight-to-series order for a 13 episode mini series based on the novel, “13 Reasons Why.” Playwright Brian Yorkey will write the pilot. Selena Gomez, along with Kristel Laiblin and Gomez’s mother Mandy Teefey, will executive produce. Gomez will not star in the series, Variety reports.

Selena Gomez took to Instagram to share her excitement, writing “I’ll just be freaking out over here.”

That was the day we sold our show to @netflix ???? I'll just be freaking out over here. Congratulations to the whole team! #13ReasonsWhy

“13 Reasons Why” is based on the 2007 novel of the same name by Jay Asher. After Hannah Baker commits suicide, she leaves her classmate Clay a box of tapes. The tapes, which have instructions to be passed along to other classmates, reveal how twelve of her peers played a role in her death and the thirteen reasons she took her life.

No premiere date for “13 Reasons Why” has been announced.

Full Trailer For ‘Jessica Jones’ Introduces A Dark Tale

Frances Vega — Sat, 24 Oct 2015 01:48:16 +0000

After weeks of frustratingly enigmatic teasers, Netflix finally released the first full-length “Jessica Jones“ trailer today.

With the premiere now only a month away, fans have been anxiously waiting to see what the show is all about. Within the first few seconds of the trailer we can see it’s really dark. The trailer gives us a first look at Jones (Krysten Ritter), a wounded former superhero now just trying to get by as a private detective. Though we aren’t shown exactly why Jones gave up the superhero life, it becomes clear early in the trailer that she has a complicated and haunting past.

We see her as she throws a guy face-first through her office door. (It’s exactly how her comic book, Alias, opens.) Then in a voiceover we hear her say, “a big part of the job is looking for the worst in people, turns out I excel at that,” followed by a glimpse at her powers (she can punch through walls, stop slow-moving cars, and execute high-flying leaps). Then she confides in Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and talks about her past with a man named Killgrave (David Tennant) — otherwise known as the Purple Man in the comics. From there, all hell breaks loose. Killgrave has the ability to control minds and has messed with Jones on more than one occasion. The trailer hints that maybe he forced her to do something terrible and as it turns out, Zebediah Killgrave isn’t quite out of her life — or her head — just yet.
Netflix has planned Marvel’s “Jessica Jones” as the second of four epic live-action adventure series’ (“Daredevil,” which launched April 10th, “Luke Cage” and “Iron Fist,” all leading up to the teaming of the main characters in “The Defenders”) to premiere exclusively on Netflix.

The first episode premiered at New York Comic-Con earlier this month, and, judging from the performances, the atmosphere, and the writing, the series has the potential to be as excellent as “Daredevil.” It already looks like it will be grittier.

All 13 episodes of “Jessica Jones” will premiere on Netflix November 20.

Still Hope! Olsen Twins Are “Teetering On Whether Or Not They’ll Be Around” For Fuller House

Rosemary Vega — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 17:36:07 +0000

We previously reported that the Olsen twins would not be reprising their shared “Full House” role in Netflix’s “Fuller House.” But it looks like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen could still have a change of heart!

Speaking at the Television Critics Association press tour on Tuesday morning, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos revealed, “The Olsen twins are teetering whether or not they’ll be around.” He later clarified that although they are “not in the current creative,” there is certainly, “a bunch of stunt opportunity for them in the future if they want to, if they choose to.” Translation: Although the twins don’t currently have a spot in the story, it would be quite easy to change that, and they might, maybe, quite possibly be considering it. Please don’t let this be a tease!

Meanwhile, the rest of the original cast filmed the first episode of the series last week. Starring Candace Cameron Bure (DJ), Andrea Barber (Kimmy), and Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie), “Fuller House” will also see John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, and Scott Weigner reprise their roles.

John Stamos has been sharing photos from set, including one of himself as Uncle Jesse:

And we’re back! Same sideburns- different decade. #FullerHouse #Netflix.

“Full House” Spinoff Finally Confirmed

Rosemary Vega — Wed, 22 Apr 2015 03:28:01 +0000

Last night, John Stamos (Or Uncle Jesse as us 90s kids better know him as), went on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and confirmed the “Full House” spinoff, “Fuller House.” Producer and guest star Stamos told Kimmel that Netflix has picked up 13 episodes. The spinoff will center around pregnant DJ Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure), who is recently widowed. Her younger sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and childhood best friend Kimmy Gibler (Andrea Barber), along with her teenage daughter Ramona, move in to help DJ raise her two sons, JD and Max. Sound familiar?

“Full House” aired on ABC from 1987 to 1995, and starred Saget as Danny Tanner, father of DJ, Stephanie and Michelle, who was played by both Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. After his wife’s death, his brother in law Jesse, and best friend Joey (Dave Coulier) move in to help raise his daughters.

Negotiations are still ongoing with the rest of the original cast: Bob Saget, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin. When Kimmel asked Stamos about Saget’s return, his response was a simple, “He better..” But, Loughlin told “Access Hollywood Live” she wasn’t sure on their returns, “They made deals with half the cast, but not the other half.” Revealing that neither she, Coulier or Saget have deals, she said, “I think we would all like to come back, if the powers that be are fair to all of us.” As for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, she said “I honestly don’t know if they want to do it. I’m sure they’re talking to them. I don’t know what’s going on there.”
