Yesterday the Emmy nominations were announced with the incredibly awesome HBO series John Adams receiving the most nominations (23). Further down the list, DC’s New Frontier made it on the Animated Program (One hour or more) list alongside Family Guy’s Blue Harvest and South Park’s Imaginationland episodes.
Hands down New Frontier should get the award, but everyone in H’wood seems to be in love with Seth MacFarlane, so don’t be surprised if the Star Wars parody walks away with the award.
The new Iron Man animated series begins airing in 2009 on Nicktoons. Until then, check out the trailer.
Tony Stark, heir to a billion-dollar corporation, lives a life of luxury, free to pursue his chief interests — seeing extreme thrills, solving scientific mysteries, and creating mind-boggling inventions.
But everything goes horribly wrong when a tragic accident robs Tony of his father and nearly costs him his own life. Now dependent on his own amazing technology for survival and dedicated to battling corruption, Tony must reconcile the pressure of teenage life with the duties of a super hero.
Inside his remarkable invention, Tony Stark is geared for high-speed flight, high-tech battles and high-octane adventure! He is IRON MAN!
Those attending San Diego Comic-Con can get a sneak peek at the first episode on Saturday July 26 at 10:00 AM (PDT) in room 6CDEF.
The Vertigo comic Exterminators is heading to the small screen. Showtime and Dexter executive producer Sara Colleton plans to bring the title to the cable network. But don’t expect the series to be a perfect adaptation.
In its Showtime incarnation, “Exterminators” will revolve around the Bug-Be-Gone crew, an extended dysfunctional family of exterminators whose greatest enemies aren’t the insects and rodents they meet and kill on a daily basis but rather their own self doubts, vices and inner demons.
Is Exterminators something that can be easily adaptated, or are the themes and special effects too much for subscriber cable?

AMC announced today that acclaimed film actors Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ, The Thin Red Line) and Ian McKellen (Lord of the Rings, The Da Vinci Code) have signed on for the network’s reinterpretation of the highly influential 1960s cult classic, The Prisoner. AMC is co-producing the six-part mini-series with ITV Productions and Granada International, with a worldwide premiere slated for 2009. The Prisoner, AMC’s second original mini-series, combines a wide range of genres, including espionage, thriller and scifi, into a unique and compelling drama, and expands upon the network’s distinctive cinematic approach to creating high-quality programming.
I missed this one yesterday, and you have probably already watched the season finale of The Spectacular Spider-Man, but in case you missed it, or just want a few tasty images to save to your computer, take the jump for info about the second season, and the rerun schedule for this summer.
This weekend, during the season finale of The Spectacular Spider-Man, it’s Peter Parker against Eddie Brock in a smack down drag out fight in the middle of the Thanksgiving holiday.
The CW and Kids’ WB! has sent Major Spoilers your first look at the episode.
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.
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. via THR
Or so says the title of this weekend’s The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series on the Kids’ WB! Things are moving along quite quickly following last week’s unveiling of the Sinister Six as Peter Parker discovers his black suit isn’t all that it is cracked up to be.
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.
The first season of The Spectacular Spider-Man begins to wrap up this weekend with The Sinister Six making an appearance in the episode entitled “Group Therapy”. The show has been doing gangbusters in the ratings, landing in the top spot for the 10 a.m. Saturday morning timeslot.
Take the jump for the final three schedule, as well as more images featuring the Sinister Six.
