Interview: Josh LeBar

Friday, June 6th, 2008--by Press Release

01picon.jpg

Josh LeBar draws on all kinds of life experiences when giving voice to Flash Thompson for “The Spectacular Spider-Man.”

LeBar, best known for his role as agent Ari Gold’s arch rival Josh Weinstein on HBO’s “Entourage,” has lived the life of both a prep jock and an aspiring super hero … so taking on Flash Thompson’s persona wasn’t much of a reach.

Super Max Name Change

Thursday, June 5th, 2008--by Stephen Schleicher

According to Slash Flim, the Green Arrow centric movie Super Max is getting a name change to Green Arrow.

The well-reviewed script, which sees Green Arrow facing off in a high security prison with DC villains like The Riddler, is by Justin Marks, who wrote the aforemenioned He-Man script that’s driving the Internet nuts right now.

Yeah, I think what happened is Warner Bros. did some research on message boards and sites like Major Spoilers and realized no one, NO ONE, would go and see a Green Arrow movie called Super Max. And seeings how the Green Arrow character is fairly popular thanks to The CW’s Smallville (he’s back for season 8 ladies), the name change seems very appropriate.

20th Century Fox and the voice cast of The Simpsons have reached an agreement for more money, and the animated series will go on.

Under the pact, the top actors will be paid nearly $400,000 per episode. While this is lower than the reported $500,000 the cast originally sought, it remains a significant increase from their current paychecks of about $300,000 an episode.

Rest assured, this agreement means the Simpsons will be on for four more years.

Uh… yea!? Is anyone still watching this show? The show stopped being laugh out loud funny about 10 years ago.

Director Jennifer Coyle Discusses The Sinister Six

Monday, June 2nd, 2008--by Press Release

Jennifer Coyle has literally worn her love of Spider-Man for much of her adolescent and adult life – she went so far as to paint a huge Spidey on the back of her motorcycle jacket in her days growing up in Rolling Hills and at Cal State Long Beach.

Today, she paints the web-slinger on a much broader canvas – as one of the directors on “The Spectacular Spider-Man,” CW4Kids’ hit Saturday morning television series. Coyle’s second episode of the series’ first season — “Group Therapy” – premiered this past Saturday.

Shirley Manson Set for Sarah Connor Chronicles

Thursday, May 29th, 2008--by Stephen Schleicher

Shirley_Manson.jpg

Shirley Manson, the lead singer for Garbage, has been cast as recurring character Catherine Weaver in Fox’s second season of Sarah Connor Chronicles.

The Weaver character is described as the CEO of a “cutting edge technology company”, which I hope means high-tech hardware and not Web 2.0 startup vying for attention from Michael Arrington.

I have yet to watch a single episode of the series starring Lena Headey as Sarah Connor, Thomas Dekker as John Connor, and Summer Glau as terminator Cameron Phillips. Is it good, bad, or just something to sit back and fill the hour between other network shows?
