next_to_normalWhen the linkspamming gets out of control. Between the TCA press tour and Comic-Con, there's a TON of TV and movie news and related fun stuff coming out.
Comic-Con links:
* Live-blog from the Hannibal pannibal... er, panel. And the gag reel.
* Community celebrated its phoenix-like rise from the ashes of network television.
* 24: Live Another Day panel live-blog. Events occur in real time.
* Game of Thrones live-blog. Plus, a pretty hilarious blooper reel.
* Marvel TV panel live-blog. The Agents of SHIELD portion concluded with a video of Patton Oswalt(s), who revealed that "Mockingbird's in" for season 2. YES. I want Bobbi/Clint at some point. More importantly, given the comic image accompanying that article, I hope she gets to wear pants on the show. Also from the panel, here is the season 1 gag reel.
* Marvel is also releasing concept art posters of the Avengers in Age of Ultron, with two characters each day.
Non-Comic-Con Marvel links:
* Kevin Feige expected the Ant-Man backlash. Wonder if that includes the three actors who have left the film. Plus, concept art featuring Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas.
* Feige also talked a lot about Guardians of the Galaxy and the upcoming Marvel slate.
* Meanwhile, Chris Pratt is literally French-braiding his way through the GotG press tour. Bless.
* Hayley Atwell will apparently be making an appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron. No word whether it will be in the present day in her old lady makeup or a flashback of some sort. I'm also curious if it'll be a Winter Soldier type cameo, or if she's somehow one of the four female characters whom Joss said would play a large role in the movie. (The others being Natasha, Wanda, and presumably Maria Hill?)
* Rumor has it Joaquin Phoenix will be playing Doctor Strange (unless it's Benedict Cumberbatch). Either way, I expect an announcement during tomorrow's Marvel panel, assuming they get the contracts signed in time.
* Lucy Lawless will be popping up on Agents of SHIELD this season.
* Marvel keeps announcing release dates for their upcoming movies, but presumably is keeping the announcement of, y'know, WHAT movies they will be for tomorrow. Smart money is on May 4, 2018 for Avengers 3.
Other stuff:
* If, like me, you have a tendency to say "ugh Larry" a lot while watching Orange is the New Black, you should know that the real Larry seems a lot cooler than his fictional counterpart.
* Evangeline Lilly wrote a children's book.
* Anna Kendrick talks about her recent film roles and the upcoming Into the Woods.
* One of these years, I have to actually go to TIFF. I'm always looking longingly at the list of films there. This year's includes RDJ's The Judge, Chris Evans' directorial debut Before We Go, The Last Five Years with Jeremy Jordan and Anna Kendrick, Jon Stewart's directorial debut Rosewater, and lots of others that sound interesting.
* Better Call Saul has started viral marketing in Albuquerque with a billboard advertisement.
* Aaron Tveit landed another starring movie role, this time in a romantic comedy.
* Emma Stone and Colin Firth are hilarious together in this interview, which I suspect is more enjoyable than the Woody Allen film they're promoting.
* Louie has been renewed for a shortened season 5.
