Alexandra Daddario and others up for Marvel’s ‘Jessica Jones’, Luke Cage testing begins!
HOLD ON NOW, YOUNG BUC. You forgot yourself about Marvel’s Jessica Jones, didn’t you? Well, I don’t blame you. There’s like thirteen different Marvel projects in development. HOWEVER, YOUNG BUC. I imagine if you saw True Detective, you certain’y haven’t forgotten Alexandra Daddario. She, along with others, are up for the aforementioned role of Jessica Jones. Plus! Here’s some goddamn Luke Cage casting news, too.

FX developing show based on Alan Moore’s ‘From Hell’
ALL. ALL. ALL-ALL-ALL ADAPTATION EVERYTHING. Got a fucking book? Got a fucking comic? Got a fucking hastily scribble scatalogical poem? They’re going to get adapted into a television-film-televisor-wallscreen experience. The latest to EMBRACE THE FUCKING INEVITABLE is Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s From Hell.
Jonathan Nolan and HBO teaming up for TV series based on Asimov’s ‘Foundation’ books
Pessimistic opening: Here’s hoping Johnny Nolan is less of a preachy, ham-fisted pedant while working on his next space opera. Optimistic opening: Fuck yeah! Jonathan Nolan is teaming up with HBO to bring Isaac Asimov’s Foundation book series to the televisor. All Space Opera Everything! Everywhere!
‘The Evil Dead’ getting TV series starring Bruce Campbell
Evil Dead is getting itself a TV show, starring the Man Himself. Color me enthused. My love (or conversely, hate) for the idea of an Evil Dead TV series has always hinged on whether or not Bruce Campbell is involved. Now that Campbell is confirmed to be starring in the son of a bitch, I can throw my INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE, perhaps UNIMAGINABLY HUGE INTERNET PRESENCE behind this development.
Multiple Clonegasms: ‘Orphan Black’ Season Three Teaser
Am I being really vague pimping this Oprhan Black season three teaser? I am! ‘Cause I have two fucking episodes left in the second season. I’m a failure! But I’m just pretty jacked+pumped that a third season is arriving, so I’m sharing this shit. Enjoy it! Don’t spoil it!
Ridley Scott and Syfy making ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ miniseries sequel
Apparently Syfy is totally serious about being totally serious about producing dope content. The channel has doubled down on the acknowledgement that they’ve been fucking up for a while now (SO SAY WE ALL), and is going about addressing that development with new promising series. The latest announcement? A miniseries sequel to 2001.
Bleh: David S. Goyer developing ‘Krypton’ TV series
Even before David S. Goyer shot his mouth off in an impressive combination of comic book and cultural ignorance, he didn’t do much for me. So the dude developing a Krypton TV show does very little for me. Other than provide a poor excuse for me to point out that the dude is a blight.
Marvel drops first official look at Matt Murdock and Daredevil from the TV Show
Marvel’s done some Daredevil official revealing. And FUCKING THEN SOME. (What does that mean? I’m not sure.) Today at NYCC the company dropped official images of Charlie Cox not only as Matt Murdock, but also one of him in his first Man Without Fear gear.
‘Better Call Saul’ Music Video: Saul’ll Get You That George Foreman Grill
Yes. AMC has unveiled a pretty catchy music video to promote Better Call Saul. BETTER CALL THE LOCAL PRIEST, THERE’S AN UNHOLY AMOUNT OF DANCING GOING ON. Just try and stop these disjointed, seemingly unconnected pelvic gyrations of mine. I dare you.
Official: Lynch’s ‘Twin Peaks’ returning in 2016 for limited Showtime run
You can always go home again. It seems. David Lynch is bringing back Twin Peaks. A show which has always been popular, but judging by Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, and Netflix activity has seen its cult swell in recent years. Lynch is bringing his baby back to none other than Showtime, for nine-episodes.
