Sony Pictures continues developing writer/director Shane Black's take on pulp magazine hero "Doc Savage" for producer Neil Moritz and Columbia Pictures, while Black is currently editing "The Predator":
"...'Doc Savage' is proceeding on pace," said Black. "...as 'Iron Man' wound down I sort of reconnected with Sony who have been gracious to say, 'We’ll wait a year and sit on these rights until you’re finished with this other picture that we don’t control.'
Originally published in pulp magazines during the 1930's, 'Doc Savage' was created by publisher Henry W. Ralston and editor John L. Nanovic at Street and Smith Publications...
...with additional material contributed by the series' main writer, Lester Dent.
The character spun-off into radio, film and comic books, then reprinted for modern-day audiences in a series of Bantam paperback books (1964) with covers illustrated by James Bama.

If NCIS had spent any sizable chunk of its Season 14 premiere lamenting the departure of longtime team member Tony Dinozzo, that would have been a dreary affair. Instead, the series smartly focused on his irreplaceable nature, literally, by picking up months later with Gibbs dismissing the eighth probie sent his way to fill the vacancy.
By coming at “the elephant in the room” from a different, bigger-picture angle, it lent that much more weight to the moment that eventually did arrive, where McGee, with a nudge from Bishop, acknowledged that his trouble settling in at Tony’s old desk has...

Dwayne Johnson, one of the biggest men in film @ 6' 5" and 260 lbs., will play the copper-toned pulp magazine hero.
"...'Doc Savage' is proceeding on pace," said Black. "...as 'Iron Man' wound down I sort of reconnected with Sony who have been gracious to say, 'We’ll wait a year and sit on these rights until you’re finished with this other picture that we don’t control.'

We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about shows including The Walking Dead, Jane the Virgin, Nashville and Scandal!
1 | Did the lack of promotion for the return of Satisfaction feel like USA Network was wishing we’d forget they renewed the show?
2 | How big of fans of “Robert R.J. Roberts” could Jessie’s Ravi and Emma be if they didn’t know A) his Tournament of Scepters adaptation was filming so soon and B) their own parents were producing it?
3 | Why, why,...

Disney Channel’s Jessie wrapped its four-year run on Friday night in perhaps the only way possible.
RelatedDescendants Sequel in the Works at Disney Channel
In fact, I had a thought earlier this evening to open this recap with a multiple choice poll, suggesting funny (or “funny”) options for how it all ended — and one of them was going to be “Jessie leaves the kids to star in a TV series about a mishap-prone nanny.”
So close.
Setting things in motion was the return of the Ross kids’ oh-so-rarely-seen mother, Christina, who has shoehorned a New York trip into her...

Sony Pictures Entertainment continues developing writer/director Shane Black's take on pulp magazine hero "Doc Savage" for producer Neil Moritz and Columbia Pictures, with a well-known comic book movie actor being suggested by Black to play the lead.
Black wants to go with actor Chris Hemsworth ("Thor") as 'Doc Savage' , but with a 'brushcut', as opposed to Hemsworth's trademark long hair:
"...'Doc Savage' is proceeding on pace," said Black. "...as 'Iron Man' wound down I sort of reconnected with Sony who have been gracious to say, 'We’ll wait a year and sit on these rights until you’re finished with this other picture that we don’t control.'

While Sony Pictures Entertainment preps writer/director Shane Black's next feature, adapting 1930's pulp magazine hero "Doc Savage" for producer Neil Moritz and Columbia Pictures, Dynamite Entetainment and Conde Nast will publish a new "Doc Savage" comic book series, available December 2013, written by Chris Roberson and illustrated by Bilquis Evely, with covers by Alex Ross, John Cassaday and Stephen Segovia.
"In the course of my comics' career, I've been lucky enough to work on nearly every character and series that mattered the most to me growing up," writer Roberson said.
"'Doc Savage' is one of the final characters left on my bucket list. Growing up in the 70's, it was impossible to miss the Doc Savage reprints in every bookstore and on every newsstand, with those striking covers. Doc quickly became and remained my absolute favorite of all of the pulp heroes, and the stories of Lester Dent...

Season 2, Episode 6: Peekaboo
Directed by Peter Medak
Written by Vince Gilligan & J. Roberts
Directed by Peter Medak, known for such hidden gems as Let Him Have It, Romeo Is Bleeding and The Krays, ‘Peekaboo’ is technically my favourite episode. This episode is all about family, and not just Walt’s family, but Jesse’s family and a third family: that of Spooge, his woman and their kid, introduced for the first and probably only time. It’s interesting to see the opposite ends of the spectrum and the in-between. On one side you have Walt cooking the meth that gets distributed by Jesse to Spooge and his woman. Walt lives the good life, with a house, two kids, two cars, a white picket fence and is a respected, supposedly law-abiding citizen. Than you have Jesse, whose parents turn their back on him, leaving him to find his own method of survival,...

Updated: Comcast today held town hall meetings for NBC Universal employees in NBCU's main outposts, New York and Los Angeles, and Comcast's hometown Philadelphia, with remotes from Miami and London. Comcast officially unveiled the new logo for NBCUniversal (all one word) which is how it will be spelled from now on. The redesigned NBCU logo uses purple as the primary color, with the peacock and the globe both gone. However, the NBC network logo will remain unchanged, so no one should call the Aspca in search of the beloved bird. Brian Williams hosted the main event in New York attended by new NBCU CEO Steve Burke and 90-year-old Comcast co-founder Ralph J. Roberts who choked up giving a heartfelt speech about seeing his dream come true with the NBCU acquisition. The Los Angeles meeting went Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest, a Comcast man via his E! deal, as the host.
