Antoine Fuqua Monitoring Hunter Killer

But Tupac biopic is on hold againIt's getting difficult to keep an eye on the projects that Antoine Fuqua has in development. Within the this past year approximately his title originates up attached to Criminals, Escobar, Southpaw, The Tomb, Storming Vegas, Afterburn, a Chinese historic epic along with a biopic of Tupac Shakur. Not one of them have started to fruition as his follow-as much as Brooklyn's Finest though, and Fuqua has become mounted on Hunter Killer, which is able to go at Relativity, but looking for a director sharp-ant since Philip Noyce dropped out.The film continues to be developing for a while - it had been initially reserved for Taken's Pierre Morel prior to the publish-Salt Noyce came aboard - so that all concerned should be honoring it's finally continue.Exactly the same can't quite be stated for that book it's according to, which remains unregistered (it's presently scheduled to become launched by Signet in This summer 2012), despite getting been optioned by Relativity a lot more than 2 yrs ago. We are told, however, it involves a united states submarine captain and several Navy Closes on the pursuit to save the Russian leader, who's been kidnapped with a rogue general. Ramius! Or possibly not.It is as simple as Don Keith and George Wallace (a genuine-existence upon the market submariner not the comedian) and also the script is as simple as John Kolvenbach, Arme Schmidt, and Jamie Moss, who authored Street Nobleman. There is no cast yet, but we'd expect items to get going rapidly, because the film already includes a release-date of December 2012, along with a forecasted start-date this winter.Even though Tupac is around the back-burners for the moment, Fuqua continues to be assembling a documentary on Dying Row Records' Suge Dark night, for that Showtime network.

Trio of shows help Broadway recover up

Broadway box office rebounded nicely in Week 16 (Sept. 12-18, 2011) with many shows obtaining momentum carrying out a slouching prior sesh. The recently opened up "Follies" published its best tally yet despite needing to deal with a comp-heavy week, and spring records for example "Priscilla Full from the Desert" and "Sister Act" drenched notable increases.The revival uses a publish-Labor Day frame which was most likely compounded than normal through the concurrence from the tenth anniversary of Sept. 11. Using the city now free to pay attention to other activities, overall Rialto sales upticked by $1.7 million to $16 million for 25 shows around the boards.An upswing at "Follies" ($877,239), which opened up Sept. 12, was fueled by reviews that demonstrated sufficiently strong enough to combat the revenue lost in the comped opening evening and 2nd-evening press perfs.Meanwhile, with less competish -- as well as enough distance in the spring honours craze to begin to create an account with theatergoers -- two tuners from last season, "Priscilla" ($734,089) and "Sister Act" ($621,509), rallied, climbing by about 35% each. The shows also drenched attendance totals in excess of 70% each.Last season's runaway hit, "It of Mormon" ($1,291,617), continued to be on componen using its healthy tally in the previous frame, but increases at "Wicked" ($1,479,369) and "The Lion King" ($1,414,948) changed the very best 10 to place "Mormon" in third, just in front of "Spider-Guy: Switch Off the Dark" ($1,231,589).With just one production in previews, the Frank Langella starrer "Guy and Boy" ($213,069 for seven perfs), the 2011-12 slate has not yet ramped up. Both grosses and attendance should keep increasing within the coming days as other shows -- including Samuel L. Jackson-Angela Bassett topliner "The Mountaintop" -- begin their preview periods.The general Broadway cume rose $1.7 million to $16 million for that 20 shows around the boards, with attendance rising to 178,675 at 81.3%.

Rare Chance to See the Uncut Version of 'The Shining' (If You Live in New York)

'The Shining,' Stanley Kubrick's landmark 1980 horror film adaptation Stephen King's classic novel, was originally released with a two-minute epilogue that's only been seen by a handful of viewers. Shortly after the film's limited opening, Kubrick decided to cut the scene, which took place after the (literally) chilling last moments. In the intervening 30 years, fans have waited for the original ending to see the light of day and now, they're in luck: The rare coda is hitting the big screen, just in time for Halloween. The longer cut of 'The Shining' will show as part of a horror series at the Dryden Theatre at the George Eastman House in NY City on Oct. 22. No advance tickets will be available, so start lining up now. The extended ending starts with two state troopers looking for Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), but not able to see his frozen body. The scene moves to a hospital where the hotel manager tries to convince Wendy (Shelley Duvall) that nothing supernatural happened at the Overlook, and that no one ever found her husband. This Stanley Kubrick blog shows images from the deleted scene, as well as oodles of 'Shining' minutiae. (Kubrick fans are hardcore.) Roger Ebert was one of the few to see the original ending and thought cutting it was a smart move. "Kubrick was wise to remove that epilogue," Ebert said. "It pulled one rug too many out from under the story." [via Slashfllm] Photo: Warner Bros.

Anderson Cooper's Talk Show Has Mediocre Ratings Debut

Against pre-emptions in three markets and coverage of the U.S. Open championship, the premiere episode of Anderson Cooper's Anderson performed mediocre in the ratings. It wasn't a splashy debut, even with the appearance of Amy Winehouse's family, who discussed the late singer; primary runs of the talk show averaged a 1.1 in households in 53 overnight metered markets. Andersonalso was down slightly from its lead-in average of 1.2 and also off from the September 2010 time-period average of a 1.3. Among the women 25-54 demographic, the premiere drew a 0.6 rating, on par with its lead-in average (0.6) but down from the same time last year (0.7). Still, Anderson was the top program among the demo in its time period in Dallas, Washington D.C., Minneapolis, Orlando, Sacramento and Pittsburgh. With no competition fromOprah Winfrey, Live With Regis and Kellyranked first among all syndicated talkers on Monday, averaging a 2.9 rating, followed by The Ellen DeGeneres Show (2.6). The Dr. Oz Show, which inherited the most time slots from The Oprah Winfrey Show,was the most-improved talk show, coming in at No. 3 with a 2.0.

Matt's Guide to Weekend TV: Torchwood and HBO Finales, Plus 9/11 Programming

Rebirth Most everyone remembers where they were 10 years ago on September 11, as we watched the horrific images and stories unfold. A decade later, many will gather in front of the TV again to watch, remember, reflect - and the broadcast and cable networks are offering a wide range of specials to put the tragedy in perspective. But there's plenty else happening on TV this weekend. Here's my take on some of the more notable highlights, including the major 9/11 programming: FRIDAY Here's an unexpected treat from HBO. Mel Brooks and Dick Cavett Together Again (9/8c) isn't a tent revival of the strangest comedy act you never heard of. It's basically an hour of friendly, funny onstage talk between two simpatico legends: the comedy genius behind Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and other classics, and the renowned talk-show veteran, who had Brooks as a guest a number of times (ergo the "Together Again"). They share hilarious show-biz anecdotes and memories, and in a delightful aside, Brooks' old buddy Carl Reiner appears from the audience to revive their "2000-Year-Old Man" shtick. [Personal aside: When I conducted a similar conversation with Reiner this spring in Los Angeles, Brooks was in the front row, and similar magic occurred. You won't want to miss it.] Want more Matt Roush? Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine now! I'd like to report that the finale of Starz' Torchwood: Miracle Day (10/9c) redeems the uneven season, but despite a number of explosive occurrences on opposite sides of the globe, it's something less than a (to coin a phrase) "blessing." One of the climactic twists - actually, more than one - had me howling: not in grief or shock, but in befuddled frustration that an admired franchise had gone so far off the rails. Still love Captain Jack and Gwen and would follow them almost anywhere, but unless they put the remnants of this chapter of their mythology behind them and forget America ever happened, they may have to go it alone for a while. SATURDAY One of the themes of this weekend's 9/11 coverage is the healing power of music. Putting that thought into action is Paul McCartney, the candid and charming subject of the vérité documentary The Love We Make (9/8c), in which veteran filmmaker Albert Maysles follows the former Beatle around New York in the days after the attacks, as he spreads cheer to fans while organizing an all-star "Concert for New York City" in Madison Square Garden several weeks later. Footage from the concert (which will be aired in its six-hour entirety on VH1 Sunday afternoon, starting at 4 pm/3c) is intercut with unguarded moments backstage. Photography is also an important part of the 9/11 legacy. A&E's Portraits From Ground Zero (10/9c) spotlights photojournalist Andrea Booher, one of the few allowed unlimited access to Ground Zero in the days after the attacks. She tracks down subjects from some of her more powerful photographs and listens to their stories. Seeking a fantasy respite from all this harrowing reality? BBC America's Doctor Who (9/8c) is happy to oblige with a Rory-centric episode as he comes to the rescue of Amy Pond, trapped in a quarantine facility for victims of an alien plague. (In case going to Contagion this weekend doesn't satisfy your craving for such things.) ... Or you could sample Syfy's latest wacky Saturday night monster movie, Jabberwock (9/8c), starring Battlestar Galactica/Dollhouse fan fave Tahmoh Penikett, also tasked to rescue the woman he loves - in this case from a beast (its name taken from Lewis Carroll) with "the body of a dragon and the head of a gruesome insect." SUNDAY Coverage of Sept. 11 ceremonies (most beginning at 8 am/7c) will be available on all major networks, with anchors and reporters covering from the Ground Zero site in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and the site of the Flight 93 crash near Shanksville, Pa. In prime time, CBS' 60 Minutes (7/6c) will devote its entire hour to 9/11 coverage, and ABC presents a "special edition" of 20/20 (10/9c) titled "Remembrance and Renewal." Other 9/11 highlights: At exactly 8:46 am/7:46c, commemorating the moment when Flight 11 crashed into the first tower, HBO will air Beyond 9/11: Portraits of Resilience, a stark collection of testimonials including survivors who escaped from above the impact zone of the second tower. A similar approach is taken by Showtime's elegiac and moving documentary Rebirth (9/8c), interviewing five subjects over the last 10 years - some who lost loved ones in the attacks, another who was severely burned and underwent a number of major surgeries - as they carry on with their shattered lives. These sometimes wrenching, ultimately hopeful stories are interweaved with stunning time-lapse photography from the Ground Zero site, as it comes back to life. (For the most comprehensive survey of the reconstruction, Discovery's absorbing six-hour Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero is rebroadcast in an 18-hour loop on the Science Channel on Sunday, starting at 11 am/10c.) CBS updates one of the most harrowing documentary accounts of the World Trade Center attack in 9/11: 10 Years Later (8/7c), a remarkable eyewitness account from documentarians who were following New York firefighters and found themselves in the middle of the action, capturing exclusive video including some of the first responders' rescue efforts before the towers' collapse. It's the ultimate "You Are There" remembrance. USA Network goes the TV-movie route with The Space Between (9/8c), starring Melissa Leo (Oscar winner for The Fighter) as a flight attendant grounded in Texas after the attacks, who embarks on a message-laden road trip to NYC in hopes of reuniting the 10-year-old Pakistani boy in her charge with his father, who works at the World Trade Center. This is immediately followed by the Oscar-winning documentary short Twin Towers, from Dick Wolf, about two brothers, one a firefighter and one a policeman, who died when the towers collapsed. Both air commercial-free. Also: TCM gets in the spirit, filling prime time with classics chosen by first responders, starting at 8/7c with the timeless Casablanca, followed by Mister Roberts, the racially charged war film All the Young Men and Red River. ... If your tastes run toward the classical, PBS' Great Performances (check local listings) presents A Concert for New York, taped Saturday night at a free concert at Avery Fisher Hall, in which Alan Gilbert conducts Mahler's stirringly symbolic Symphony No. 2: Resurrection. Sunday's other big TV event is HBO's curtain call for its summer series, starting with True Blood (9/8), which I've been loving lately as it went completely and garishly bananas during the vampire-witch war. And now that crazy Marnie's spirit has possessed Lafayette - how soon before he pukes that bitch out? - expect all hell to break loose yet again on Samhain, holy day for the Wiccans of Bon Temps. On Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry has it out with neighbor Michael J. Fox, which ought to be a riot, and as Entourage finally reaches "The End," we'll see if things work out for Ari and the Mrs., and Eric and Sloan, and Vince and Sophia. And if you actually care, I commend you for your loyalty. Finally, on a new Breaking Bad (10/9c, AMC), the tension continues to reach the breaking point for just about everyone, including an embattled Gus, a desperate and distrustful Walt, a flummoxed Jesse - and this week, Skyler, giving Anna Gunn a chance to flex her considerable chops as a financial crisis threatens to expose the money-laundering shenanigans at the car wash. Her resourcefulness brings some welcome comic relief (though not without an element of suspense) to another grueling hour that ends on a pivotally confrontational note.

Doris Day Interviews with Sir Paul McCartney Before Album Drops

Hollywood icon Doris Day will be releasing her first album in nearly 20 years Monday, but the 87-year-old retired actress invited a certain musician and friend into her Carmel, California, home recently: Sir Paul McCartney.our editor recommendsDoris Day to Release First Album in Nearly 20 YearsPaul McCartney Finally Works With Decca to Release Ballet In the interview, published Thursday in Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper, Day and McCartney discuss her album, My Heart, which includes her covers of songs by Joe Cocker and The Beach Boys. The friends also shared memories of McCartney's daughter Stella and Day's late son (who is featured on the album), Terry Melcher. When McCartney asks Day about her son, who died in 2004, she says, "I miss my Terry every day. But...I'm so happy that he's singing on the album. I used to hear him sing and he should have done more things. I get mail from his friends all the time saying he had so much talent and he was always laid back. He didn't push himself. He was such a good guy and I loved him dearly." McCartney responds: "I knew Terry a little bit in the Sixties and he was a really nice man. But you were right-he didn't push himself. I didn't either though, come to think of it. He was a lovely boy." Day retired more than 30 years ago to found the Doris Day Animal Foundation in 1978. McCartney told Day, "I wasn't quite sure what to expect [with your new album], because I knew you hadn't worked in show business for awhile as you've been looking after your animals. But you seem so perky and I feel that spirit in the album. I think it's very beautifully sung." "I think your fans will go crazy with it," McCartney told her. "It's a nice album with beautiful emotions." Related Topics Paul McCartney
