While she thinks that high school and college seniors will apply, she discovers that her intern is a 70-year-old man (Robert De Niro) who proves to be quite an asset to her company and becomes a mentor to his mentor since it turns out that he was a successful businessman before he retired.
TELEVISION UPDATES
NETFLIX TO MAKE DAREDEVIL, JESSICA JONES, LUKE CAGE, IRON 
FIST SHOWS
Moving on to television news, Marvel and Netflix have made a deal in which four of Marvel's popular superhero characters will get their own television shows with the first one to air in 2015. The individual shows would each focus on DAREDEVIL, on JESSICA JONES, on IRON FIST and on LUKE CAGE, which would all have up to 13 episodes and will air over the years, and will then end with a special mini series titled MARVEL'S THE DEFENDERS which would see all of them in a team of self sacrificing superheroes who protect the world.
THE PAINTED GIRLS 1880'S PARIS
SHOW
Over at CW, they are planning a 1880's Paris set show based on THE PAINTED GIRLS novel by Cathy Marie Buchanan. Similarly to CW's new show REIGN, this one will also be set in France, but in the 19th century against the backdrop of the turbulent and exciting world of “La Belle Epoque” – decadence, poverty, sex, drugs and a serial killer running rampant throughout the city. It revolves around three sisters studying at a top ballet academy, one of whom becomes the muse for Edgar Degas and his famed paintings of ballerinas.
DC'S 'HOURMAN' SHOW AT CW
But CW will also add some other
superheroes to their slate beside popular ARROW, because together with
Marvel's rival DC they plan to make a show out of HOURMAN comic
centring on a brilliant yet troubled pharmaceutical analyst who
discovers that the visions that have plagued him since childhood are
actually glimpses of tragic events occurring one hour in the future.
Determined to win back his ex-wife and son, he heroically prevents these
tragedies from unfolding, finding both purpose and redemption along the
way.

so they're animated or not?
ReplyDeleteno, none of the today's projects is animated
DeleteIt's somewhat of a shame to see Vito Corleone, Al Capone, the Deer Hunter, and Jake LaMotta playing fluff parts nowadays. But, I like Deniro so I want to see his movie with Reese.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing him in comedies, since I don't do mobster movies.
DeleteThis must be super hero day!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll have to switch to Netflix now!
Yep, Dave, and tomorrow is Elven, Hobbit day with an extremely extensive spotlight on the epic adventure :)
DeleteThe Intern with Reese looks fun ~ Thanks for all the superhero update Dezzy ~ Happy weekend ~
ReplyDeleteBe welcome, Grace, don't forget to tune in tomorrow for a huge spotlight on THE HOBBIT THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG characters :)
DeleteNothing much for me here today. Sorry, Dezzy. However, look forward to tomorrow's post spotlighting THE HOBBIT THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG :)
ReplyDeleteSaturday's are usually weak days and HOLLYWOOD SPY is the only one working on Sundays too :)
DeleteReese's films have been falling flat for ma lately, but I do think I would like to see the intern. Simply because I love de niro.
ReplyDeleteshould be a fun one with that premise :)
DeleteI'm not really a fan of Nancy Meyers usually, but The Intern sounds cute. Have a lovely Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI don't like her either, Vanessa, most of her films are crap :)
DeleteThe only superhero of this quartet I know is Daredevil. Now I must get to know the other three!
