Almost exactly one year after production was forced to halt due to the global coronavirus outbreak, The Flash is officially back on our screens, and tonight's premiere proved to be quite an eventful hour as Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and his team put a dangerous plan in motion in order to get the Artificial Speed Force to work, ultimately resulting in Nash (Tom Cavanagh) making the ultimate sacrifice.  Now, while things are looking grim for all the Wellses, showrunner Eric Wallace has confirmed to TV Line that Cavanagh isn't leaving the series.  "Fans of Tom Cavanagh, you should keep watching this show.’ Just because somebody’s dead doesn’t mean they don’t have plenty more to do.” Next week's installment will pick up almost immediately after the events of tonight's premiere with us lea...

EXCLUSIVE: The No. 3 U.S. exhibitor Cinemark will not be playing Raya and the Last Dragon this coming weekend as Disney makes the title available both in theaters and as a $30 purchase on Disney+ on March 5. As the major studios experiment widely with theatrical windows during the pandemic, Raya is a clear case that not all exhibitors will just swallow whatever is thrown at them. I hear that Cinemark isn’t the only exhibitor who isn’t booking the Don Hall-Carlos Lopez Estrada-directed feature. Harkins and Cineplex in Canada aren’t playing Raya either. Note, sometimes these negotiations can sometimes come down to the wire and titles can appear on marquees. A Cinemark movie theater in Chesapeake, VA Cinemark So, wait, what happened here?

Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall are looking back on filming "Coming to America." Ahead of the release of the famed comedy's sequel "Coming 2 America," the duo appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and revealed that Paramount had a demand when it came to the movie's casting. Hall, 65, revealed that the studio made them cast a White actor to play the character of Maurice -- who was played by Louie Anderson. "I love Louie, but I think we were forced to put Louie in it," recalled the actor. "We were forced to put [in] a White person." 'COMING 2 AMERICA' FIRST LOOK INCLUDES EDDIE MURPHY AS KING AKEEM Similarly, Murphy remembered Paramount was opposed to the 1988 movie having an all-Black cast. "They were like, ‘There has to be a White person in the movie,'" he said. "So who was the funniest Wh...

Look, I get it that Vince McMahon has long said that WWE isn’t really professional wrestling but rather a sports entertainment companies who don’t promote wrestling matches so much as “make movies” with their television programming. And because the company has prestige, and money, and has more or less buried all its competition throughout its history, we just sort of have to deal with how Vince likes to do things. But this shit is ridiculous. Look at this: I’m fine being the old man yelling at clouds here, but what the hell is this nonsense? What, there are two Randy Orton’s? Or did Bray Wyatt’s spirit, I guess because he’s dead after Orton murdered him on a show by burning him alive and faced no repercussions for it, possess Orton at an earlier time and record a video to air...

Jennette McCurdy revealed on the Season 2 premiere of her podcast, “Empty Inside,” why she’s done with acting. “I resent my career in a lot of ways,” she said. “I feel so unfulfilled by the roles that I played and felt like it was the most just cheesy, embarrassing… I imagine there’s a very different experience to be had with acting if you’re proud of your roles.” The former Nickelodeon star opened up on the Feb. 24 episode of “Empty Inside,” which featured guest Anna Faris. Their discussion spanned the inauthenticity of talk shows, rejection and early acting gigs. Faris reflected on industry difficulties, but eventually concluded she was starting to feel the acting “itch” again. She asked if McCurdy has ever felt rewarded by a character she played. “I’m so ashamed of...
