Jun. 7th, 2014 03:53 pm...while I am binge-watching Orange is the New Black.
* Here's an interview with the OITNB creator, cast, and Piper Kerman. Also, key differences between the show and Kerman's real-life experience.
* Howard Stark will apparently be part of the Agent Carter TV series, though it's unclear in what capacity. (Also, I don't see why the AV Club is making a big deal about Dominic Cooper and John Slattery both playing the role. They look reasonably similar, given that they're playing the character 30 years apart.)
* The Doctor Strange movie has a director, as does Ant-Man (again) finally.
* Clark Gregg talks about his movie Trust Me and Agents of SHIELD.
* The Fantastic Four reboot has been downgraded from "gritty" to "not as goofy as the original."
* Of course Mad Men would have the best "For Your Consideration" ads.
* Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie have been cast in the new Star Wars film. Lupita also has another new project in the works. Glad to see she's getting good post-Oscar roles. I was worried for a bit there.
* Kind of an odd pairing, but here's an interview with Emmy Rossum and Tatiana Maslany. I don't know why they would tease us with the existence of a "Someone To Watch Over Me" duet and then not provide video of it, but whatever.
* Video from a panel discussion with the cast and crew of The Americans.
* Apparently, people mock the Tony Awards because "the contenders are unknown to the public and that theater-going is an elitist, esoteric habit." LOL I feel like this would be more believable in a year when the nominees didn't include such unknowns as Woody Allen, Bryan Cranston, and Neil Patrick Harris, in shows no one's heard of, like Les Miserables, Aladdin, or Shakespeare. But whatever, the point is, people should appreciate the Tonys and the theater, which is good.
* ABC Family is developing a musical comedy TV series. Because that has worked out so well in the past.
* I had never heard of Outliving Emily until Jeremy Jordan was cast, but it sounds like an intriguing premise, and the cast is pretty great.
* Robert Downey Jr. is producing a new series about recovering addicts in a rehab facility for Showtime.
* This baby goat was cracking me up all day in work yesterday.
* I never saw Avatar, so I don't really care about the sequels, but James Cameron's explanation of writing three movies simultaneously is very interesting, and perhaps something more franchises should attempt.
* I hope you are watching the last four episodes of Enlisted, airing this month.
