Bryan Fuller On a Possible Pushing Daisies Reunion in Hannibal, Doing a Pushing Daisies Zombie Movie

by Rebecca Pahle | 4:00 pm, May 5th, 2013

First things first, to those not watching NBC’s Hannibal: Watch Hannibal. The acting’s great, the characters are wonderful, and it’s insanely fun seeing the writers play with the fact that the audience knows Hannibal Lecter’s a killer cannibal but the characters don’t. (Said at a dinner meeting: “Next time bring your wife. I’d love to have you both for dinner.” Oh-ho-ho!)

Another reason to catch up on Hannibal, at least if you’re a Pushing Daisies fan: Some combination of Lee Pace, Kristin Chenoweth, and Anna Friel might join its cast in season two. If it gets a season two. C’mon, people. Let’s make this the Bryan Fuller show that lasts.

Lee Pace And His Eyebrows Will Probably Be the Villain in Guardians of the Galaxy

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:01 am, April 24th, 2013

Back in the early days of Guardians of the Galaxy casting, when everybody and their brother was rumored to be up for the role of Star-Lord, Lee Pace was one of the actors who definitely auditioned for the part. Though the role eventually went to Chris Pratt, director James Gunn must’ve really liked Pace (as he should), because now the actor is reportedly in “final negotiations” to play the villain.

To get exceedingly superficial for a moment: Tom Hiddleston, you might be getting some competition in the Most Attractive Marvel Villain department.

Fandral from Thor: The Dark World Might Also Star in Guardians of the Galaxy, Because Marvel Really Likes Zachary Levi

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:55 pm, December 23rd, 2012

Most of the discussion up to this point on Marvel’s upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy has had to do with that sexist, homophobic (or “satirical,” depending on your viewpoint) superhero post director James Gunn wrote that surfaced last month. But for those of you who haven’t sworn off the movie because of his involvement, we have a bit of casting news. Variety is reporting that the choice of actors for the lead role, Star-Lord (aka Peter Quill), is down to two: Jim Sturgess (l) and Zachary Levi.

Hobbit iPhone App May Have Revealed How the Trilogy is Being Split

Follow me into the land of possible spoilers. Not, of course, of the story of The Hobbit. The dragon dies. Bilbo finds riches. Goes home and kick his jerk relatives out of his house. You know.

No, follow me into the land of knowing, possibly, where in the story of The Hobbit The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will leave us, before we wait a year for another installment.

This Hobbit Production Video Works Us Into a Fannish Fervor

by Alanna Bennett | 5:45 pm, July 23rd, 2012

Now that we’ve seen The Dark Knight Rises we can work ourselves into a proper fervor over The Hobbit. For instance, we squeed at least eight times while watching this production video. It takes them to Comic-Con, the last five days of filming, and through some hijinks. And as Susana put it, “it has Lee Pace doing dancy floofy elf moves!” We don’t know about you, but that’s more than enough to sell us on it.

By the way, if you’d like to watch the whole panel that we get a glimpse of here, we’ve got you covered.

Cautiously Optimistic

Will Pushing Daisies Head to Broadway?

by Alanna Bennett | 11:11 am, July 18th, 2012

Bryan Fuller‘s been dropping hints of upcoming Pushing Daisies news for the past few months, and we have been clawing at our computer screens for just as long screaming “TELL US!” The Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, and Mockingbird Lane producer swore it had nothing to do with a return of the cancelled-too-soon show to television, or of a jump to the big screen. So what does that leave? Broadway, apparently!
