CHRIS PRATT TO STAR IN

'MAGNIFICENT SEVEN' REMAKE?

It seems that it wasn't enough for Chris Pratt to be just a guardian of the galaxy, or to tame the dinosaurs in JURASSIC WORLD, or to be COWBOY NINJA VIKING, but he now stands a chance to become one of  THE MAGNI- FICENT SEVEN too! According to 'Deadline' he is in talks to join Denzel Washington in the big screen remake of the famous western which will be helmed by Antoine Fuqua for MGM! As you might remember the original had some of the biggest movie stars in the cast from Yul Brynner to Charles Bronson and Steve McQueen, playing seven gunmen who are hired by a small Mexican village to protect them from from a nefarious tyrant named Calvera! Pratt would play a new gunfighter!

SYFY'S 'THE MAGICIANS'

CASTS JASON RALPH AND SOSIE BACON IN THE LEAD ROLES
In TV news, first actors have been chosen for SyFy's THE MAGICIANS sf show: Jason Ralph and Sosie Bacon will topline the small screen adaptation of Lev Grossman's bestselling fantasy trilogy. The series follows 20 somethings who, while studying magic in New York, discover that the magical fantasy world they read about as children is all too real and poses grave danger to humanity. Jason Ralph will play Quentin Coldwater, a brilliant, withdrawn yet strangely compelling young man who has always been a huge fan of a series of books set in the magical land of Fillory. When he’s recruited as a new student at the mysterious Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy, he realizes that magic is very real, and that he himself is a potentially gifted practitioner. Kevin Bacon's daughter, Sosie will be Alice. Born of a magical but neglectful family, Alice is an outcast among her fellow students at Brakebills, but nonetheless emerges as the most brilliant magical practitioner in her class.

'TERMINATOR GENISYS' TRAILER

 SCHWARZENEGGER IS BACK!

I'm a bit late with this one, but here's the first trailer for TERMINATOR: GENISYS, which comes out next July! Jason Clarke plays John Connnor, who sends Kyle Reese (delightfully naked Jai Courtney) back in time to keep his mother, Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke), safe before John is born. Unlike the naive and innocent young woman played by Linda Hamilton in the 1984 classic movie, Kyle finds a much different Sarah. She was raised by an ageing T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) she calls "Pops," after a different Terminator killed her parents when she was just nine years old.

Now, the cast has been assembled: Stella Maeve will play Julia Quentin, a wealthy and brilliant Ivy Leaguer who seems destined for success, but her future plans are forever altered after she is denied admittance to the mysterious Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy. Hale Appleman will play Eliot, a student at the Brakebills who will prove a sometimes frustrating ally in Quentin’s fortunes, and may soon factor into a series of perilous adventures. Arjun Gupta will play Penny, Quentin’s roommate at Brakebills. He is bedevilled by voices that hint at pathways to other worlds.

'LUMEN' FANTASY SERIES

Another sf series, over at TNT, will be LUMEN, which has just hired Sam Jaeger in the lead role.

Jaeger will play Michael Hartman, the stepfather of 16-year-old Charlie whose obsession with finding the author thrusts his family into the surreal world of Lumen.

Something that is shaping up to become one of the most hilarious of the future sitcoms, GRACE AND FRANKIE has just added famous Michael Gross!

Speaking of sitcoms, our absolutely favourite one, ABC Family's BABY DADDY will present us with a Christmas special on December 10th, before the fourth season of the popular comedy starts sometime early next year. While the Christmas episode (see the first picture below) will give us the chance to see the happy family and friends, Ben (Jean Luc Bilodeau), Danny (Derek Theler), Bonnie (Melissa Peterman), Riley (Chelsea Kane) and Tucker (Tahj Mowry) celebrate the holiday with baby Emma,  the upcoming new season will see Christa B. Allen as the new guest star! She will play Robyn, a funny, smart, athletic, corporate attorney who works at the law firm with Riley. When Riley begrudgingly sets Robyn up with best friend Danny, they immediately hit it off. You can check out a short teaser for Christmas episode here!
