Nexstar Acquires The CW, Confirms Plans To Kill Its Appeal

Nexstar Acquires The CW, Confirms Plans To Kill Its Appeal

, , , , 5

We knew it was coming, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less: Warner Bros and Paramount confirmed the plan to sell off their jointly-owned broadcast network The CW to nationwide station owner Nexstar is a go. Nexstar will take 75 percent ownership of the network, while WB and CBS will take 12.5% shares each, allowing them to continue producing original scripted content for the thing, though not nearly as much. CEO Mark Pedowitz will remain in his position as head of CW for now. But he’ll REALLY answer to Nexstar CEO Perry Sook, who loves saying the word “operational” a lot: “Our acquisition of The CW is strategically and operationally compelling, as it will enable us to leverage our operational experience to improve the network’s performance through our management of this powerful national platform. We plan to apply the same strict financial standards to operating The CW as we apply to our other businesses.” Translation: the network will shift from targeting the youth market, who doesn’t really watch broadcast

SECRET HEADQUARTERS coming to Paramount+

SECRET HEADQUARTERS coming to Paramount+

Secret Headquarters is a family-friendly adventure film starring Owen Wilson and Walker Scobell. This film is Walker Scobell‘s follow-up after his Netflix hit Adam Project. Adam Project is one of the biggest original films on Netflix because of its ratings. That movie earned 233,150,000 American households in its first month.  Paramount+ wanted success, so it cast Scobell for the lead role and gave him a follow-up film. It is another collaboration between directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. Both of them previously worked together in Project Power and Nerve. Secret Headquarters is coming to Paramount+ this August 5, 2022. Secret Headquarters trailer Charlie Kincaid (Scobell) never saw his dad and his dad (Owen Wilson) as someone extraordinary. His dad exudes pure dorkiness and a lack of charisma. Charlie also resents his father because his dad is divorced from his mom. To make it worst, his dad is always busy with work. Like the father from the song “Cats in the cradle.”   The father and son are supposed to bond together while he was in his custody when his dad got forced to leave

Could Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Be Jim Carrey’s Last Film?

Could Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Be Jim Carrey’s Last Film?

, , , , 10

As weird as this sounds, Jim Carrey’s portrayal of the villain Robotnik in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (opening in one week!) could be the very last appearance from him in an acting role. Mr. Carrey implied as much during an interview with Access Hollywood that aired this week. According to Variety, Carrey is reported as saying “Well, I’m retiring. Yeah, probably. I’m being fairly serious.” When pressed further, he replied “It depends. If the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break.” It’s bitter news to hear for anyone who can remember the 1990s, when Carrey’s “rubberface” style of comedy became so popular that there was no film he could star in that couldn’t become a hit. Ace Ventura, The Mask and Dumb & Dumber were all staples of the average living room VHS library. In recent decades Jim has become

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 released a new trailer that reveals too many details but only if your eyes are fast. I had to watch it several times before realizing what was going on. I’m not going to describe it all because you deserve to see it yourself. A regular speed  will be released tomorrow and I will add it as an update later.  Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will be coming to theater in the 8th of April.   Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) – “Fastest Trailer” – Paramount Pictures     The first movie is a testament that if you listen to your audience, You will be banking $319.7 million. Fans got an outrage when the first trailer of the first movie shown Uncanny Valley human like design for Sonic. This design was so controversial it caused a social media outrage because it crossed the line of Cats.(2019) Paramount Pictures listened to the outrage and fixed Sonic by returning his original and iconic look. Nothing beats nostalgia and familiarity and

Turns Out You WILL See Master Chief’s Face On The Halo Show

Turns Out You WILL See Master Chief’s Face On The Halo Show

Last month a full trailer for the Halo TV adaption was released during the NFL AFC Championship game. At the time, we made the comment “We suppose the most controversial thing they could do would be to have MC remove his helmet. There’s no indication they will show his face from this trailer alone, but you never know.” We were fifty-fifty on whether they’d really remove the helmet, but we definitely didn’t bet the folks behind the show would openly admit it before the show even started. Kiki Wolfkill, executive producer on the Halo TV series and 343 Industries’ Studio Head of Transmedia, told IGN last weekend you will see Master Chief’s face — maybe a lot of it. “I think we set out to tell a character story and a personal story,” she said. “And once we really got into what that story was, it became clear that you really needed to see the person in the armor and under the helmet.” It’s kinda important to remember the Halo

Paramount Plans To Drown You With Trek In 2022

Paramount Plans To Drown You With Trek In 2022

Had enough Star Trek yet? Paramount will tell you when you’ve had enough! The corporation’s relationship to this brand has been interesting to observe over the decades. Whenever Paramount is doing fine, and doesn’t need to take any risks, it treats Trekkies like they barely exist. But whenever they’re launching something that costs billions of dollars to maintain and can’t afford to have it fail, suddenly Trek is BACK and being produced by the truckload. We saw it with the launch of UPN in the 90s and we’re seeing it now with Paramount+. There was a time when two concurrent Trek shows was a lot, but Paramount currently has a record-breaking five going: Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy, and Strange New Worlds. According to Nicole Clemens, president of original scripted series at Paramount+, five isn’t enough. “You may see a few more very curated additions coming,” she told the press cryptically. We have no idea what EXACTLY she means….only one additional Trek show has been revealed, a spinoff of Discovery

The Halo Show Is Locked And Loaded: Full Trailer

“Halo” is the one mega-popular game franchise I haven’t played a single installment of, mostly due to never owning an XBox console. But through cultural osmosis I think I have the basic idea: there’s this super-soldier in the future whose face you never see, he has this blue AI companion who talks to him, and he has to fight a race of evil aliens who belong to a crazy cult. That’s the gist, right? Today a full trailer for the Halo TV adaption was released during the NFL AFC Championship game, and what most people don’t realize is how much effort it took to get to the point where a trailer could be shown. Microsoft has been trying to spin off Halo into its own TV series for a long time now. It was originally announced in 2013 during an XBox E3 presentation, as a TV show you could only see on the XBox. MS abandoned those plans and the show bounced around in development limbo until Paramount made a

After Seven Years, We Finally Have A Teaser For The Halo TV Show

After Seven Years, We Finally Have A Teaser For The Halo TV Show

In the spring of 2013, the heads of Microsoft Studios walked onstage at E3 to deliver what would go down in history as one of their worst presentations. Their job was to convince gamers to buy the XBox One, but as they were still at this time enthralled by the temporary success of the 360’s Kinect, they spent a good chunk of time explaining how a Kinect would be a built-in, unavoidable part of the XBox One experience. The XBox’s traditional hardcore audience didn’t care for the Kinect at all. But it got worse. Microsoft then revealed used games wouldn’t work on the XBox One and that it would require an always-on Internet connection to function, two decisions that were massively anti-consumer at that point in time. They got boos all over the Internet and the next day, Sony had a good laugh at their expense by demonstrating their high-tech “game sharing system” where a man simply handed a disc to another man. PS4 won the race that gen, and

It’s been a frustrating last few years for fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend Of Korra and all things related. The rich world Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino created has limitless potential, but it’s only been added to lately through comic books. Ever since Nickelodeon banished Korra to their website for the last two seasons, they haven’t expressed any interest in a third series, a spinoff or anything else. The most we’ve gotten is a deal with Netflix for a live-action remake of ATLA that, ominously, the creators have walked away from. Who knows what made them suddenly see the light, but Nickelodeon and its parent company CBSViacom have agreed to finally make more Avatar stuff. Not a crappy live-action reinterpretation (two is enough)! We’re talking the REAL DEAL — original stories, and animated as they should be! And we’re not just talking one project…we’re talking several! So much they’re opening up a new production wing called Avatar Studios to create it all. “Creator-driven stories and characters have

CBS All Access Is Changing Its Name

CBS All Access Is Changing Its Name

After spending some time apart, CBS/Paramount and Viacom got remarried in a lavish ceremony last year. Now there’s a new/old boss in charge….and what does every entertainment conglomerate want these days, more than anything? Their own successful streaming service, of course. Only one problem: CBS sort of already has that, in the form of CBS All Access. How is that a problem? Because it’s not big ENOUGH to speak in the same breath as Netflix, Hulu or Disney+. Viacom is following the latter example and giving the service a rebrand under the wholly original name of….Paramount+. As many have already pointed out, despite being one of the biggest movie studios in the world, the Paramount label doesn’t carry the same heft these days that a name like Disney does, so when people see Paramount+, it will be unclear what they’re getting, aside from Star Trek. That’s probably why Paramount wants you to know they’re working on five new shows, announced today. Unfortunately none of them will hold much appeal to
