Epix has put four scripted projects into development including a pair of comedies with one starring A Fish Called Wanda star Kevin Kline.
Kline is to star in American Classic, which would mark the actor’s second TV project if it goes to series. He recently signed up to star alongside Cate Blanchett in Alfonso Cuarón’s Disclaimer for Apple.
In the half-hour American Classic, Kline plays Broadway star and notorious narcissist Richard Bean, who suffers a spectacular public meltdown and returns to his tiny hometown and the family-run theater where he first became aware of his own brilliance.
When he arrives, he is shocked to discover that his father, the former artistic director, has slipped into a puppet-filled dementia, and that the once-respected theater run by his brother, played by The Closer’s Jon Tenney, and his wife, who is now the town’s mayor, has become, by necessity,...

I often speak about the title of a movie being important. I think with so much media, so many streaming services and of course so many films to watch, many people might make the quick decision on what to watch on the name of the movie. Bad Weed is not a good name for a movie but thankfully, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover (or a movie by its name – you get my point!).
We first see Carlos being interviewed leaving the courtroom after a seemingly successful trial, for himself at least. But moments later he awakes in a forest with his hands handcuffed behind him. He is being chased and attacked by a sociopath but is saved by a woman who lives in the secluded...

Director David Slade (Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night ) is set to helm a Halloween set horror film called Dark Harvest. The film is set up at New Regency, and it will be based on Norman Partridge’s 2006 novel of the same name.
The story is set during “Halloween of 1963 in a small Midwestern town where teenage boys eagerly square off with the butcher knife wielding October Boy, aka Ol’ Hacksaw Face aka Sawtooth Jack. Both the hunter and the hunted, the October Boy is the prize in an annual rite of life and death. One teen, Pete McCormick, knows that killing the October Boy is his one chance to escape a dead-end future in the one-horse town. But before the night is over, Pete will look into the saw-toothed face of horror – and discover the terrifying true secret of the October Boy.”
That sounds like a crazy a fun horror story!

This Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus! review contains some very mild spoilers.
It’s been over two years since Nickelodeon announced the production of a revival movie of their cult classic series, Jhonen Vasquez’s Invader Zim. It was already a nostalgic dream come true for diehard Zim fans like myself, but then Nickelodeon went the extra mile by recreating the conditions of the show during its original run. Just like they did in the aughts, they greenlit the production and then stopped supporting it entirely, with the seeming intent to bury it without it ever seeing the light of day. What a blast from the past! It’s stuff like this that continues to make Nickelodeon my favorite Viacom subsidiary.
Luckily, Netflix has never met a nostalgic property it didn’t like and...

NBC has given a script commitment plus penalty to Red Stick, a crime drama from Venom and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle producer Matt Tolmach, bestselling author Patricia Cornwell and Sony Pictures TV.
Written by Samantha Humphrey (S.W.A.T.), Red Stick is based on an idea by Cornwell. It follows Dr. Annie Dodge who is summoned from New York to her hometown of Baton Rouge, La, after the sudden death of her father, the city’s beloved coroner. Now, as she’s mourning the loss of her childhood hero, Annie finds herself reluctantly stepping into her father’s role to solve an ongoing murder while navigating the complicated waters of Bayou politics, Southern hospitality and a simmering past romance.
Humphrey executive produces with Cornwell. Tolmach and David Manpearl executive produce via Matt Tolmach Productions.
Dr. Annie Dodge draws parallels to Cornwell’s most famous character, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a medical examiner.

Exclusive: New Regency is setting up shop in London; the Birdman and 12 Years A Slave producer has established a European HQ in the British capital and has hired former Lionsgate executive Charlotte Thorp to head up international sales of its library.
