‘The Walking Dead’ Ratings Hit a Six-Year Low

0

With so much competition, Sunday Night Football and the American Music Awards, the November 19th The Walking Dead episode ended up with historically low ratings. The Season 8 “The Big Scary U” episode fell a six-year ratings low for the series.

According to Deadline, “with a 3.4 rating among adults 18-49, TWD had its worst result since November 20. 2011. That Season 2 “Secrets” episode drew a 3.1 among the key demo. Week to week, TWD was down 13% among the key demo.”

With an audience of 7.9 million, Walking Dead had the lowest numbers since the Season 2 episode on March 11, 2012. While not the least watched episode of the season, that “Better Angels” episode had 6.89 million viewers. IN comparison to the November 12th The Walking Dead, the November 19th episode saw ratings decline 10% in viewers.

That said, with the Live + 3 metric, The Walking Dead has seen around 40% rise in ratings over the first four episodes of this season, which means people are watching the episodes later.

To date, Rhoades has never lost an insider trading case — he’s 81-0 — but when criminal evidence turns up against Axelrod, he proceeds cautiously in building the case against Axelrod, who employs Rhoades’ wife, psychiatrist Wendy, as a performance coach for his company. Wendy, who has been in her position longer than Chuck has been in his, refuses to give up her career for her husband’s legal crusade against Axelrod. Both men use their intelligence, power, and influence to outmaneuver the other in this battle over billions.

Warner Bros. ‘Nightwing’ Open Casting Call for The Lead Role

0

Chris Mckay, the director of the upcoming Warner Bros. and DC feature film Nightwing, has taken to Twitter to tell DC fans that everyone has the opportunity to audition for the role. That’s right, Nightwing is holding an open casting call for Dick Grayson.

“Have an agent or manager submit your work. To the studio,” McKay wrote on Twitter Monday night. “An agent or manager protects you and also is an endorsement of your character. It means you take yourself and your career seriously…and so does someone else.”

Following that tweet, McKay confirmed that the casting call would indeed be open to anyone. However, he also noted that the chances of actually landing the part would be a one in a million kind of thing.

“There will be an open casting call but that is like Vegas odds for sure,” the director admitted. “Don’t leave your career up to chance. Believe in yourself. Bet on yourself. Get an agent or a manager.”

Details on how to apply have not been released other than hiring an agent to get you the audition. If you do not have an agent, check out our guide to landing an agent here.

About Nightwing:

Nightwing, aka Dick Grayson, is perhaps best known for being the original Robin. Grayson was the youngest member of a family of acrobats known as the Flying Graysons. He was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger and illustrator Jerry Robinson, and first introduced in Detective Comics No. 38 in April 1940. After his parents were murdered, he was taken in as the legal ward of Bruce Wayne/Batman. He then became Robin and teamed up with the Dark Knight on many an adventure to fight crime in the city of Gotham.

11 Feature Films to Film in LA Thanks to the California Tax Credits

Quentin Tarantino’s 9th feature film and Fox’s adaptation of Call of the Wild are among the major feature films to receive California film tax credits, according to an announcement made by the state film commission on Monday.

The new tax credit gives $62.8 million in credits for 11 movies, four independent and seven major productions.

According to The Wrap, Tarantino will play $18 million in credits for Sony’s Tarantino project and $17.1 million for Fox’s adaptation of the Jack London adventure story, other notable projects include director Karyn Kusama’s “Destroyer” starring Nicole Kidman ($2.5 million in credits), and an untitled Dan Gilroy feature starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo ($2.5 million).

A total of 54 projects applied for credits during the October 16-20 application period.

According to the commission, three of the 11 movies plan to shoot a large number of their scenes outside of the traditional LA 30-Mile Zone.

The upcoming Quentin Tarantino movie and Call of the Wild movie would have originally been unable to receive the credits because their budgets exceed $75 million.

“Despite aggressive incentives worldwide, California is once again competing for big projects because we’re able to provide the best overall value,” California Film Commission Executive Director Amy Lemisch said in a statement. “Films today can be shot just about anywhere, so it’s great to see so much production returning to the Golden State.”

Here’s the full list of movies to film in Los Angeles thanks to the film tax credits:

  1. #2minutesoffame – Lions Gate Entertainment
  2. 12 Angry Men Live – Calling Grace Productions, LLC
  3. Call of the Wild – Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation

‘Shaft’ Remake Casting and Plot News

New Line Cinema is bringing back Shaft for an upcoming sequel. Can ya dig it? Richard Roundtree is returning to the title that made him a screen icon, but not as the lead. The upcoming reboot of Shaft will star Samuel L. Jackson and Jesse T. Usher.

Alexandra Shipp from Straight Outta Compton and X-Men: Apocalypse is said to be in final talks to be the leading lady in the movie.

According to the new original synopsis:

Working for the FBI, estranged from his father and determined not to be anything like him, John Shaft Jr. reluctantly enlists his father’s help to find out who killed his best friend Karim and bring down a drug-trafficking/money-laundering operation in NYC.”

Tim Story, who directed BarbershopFantastic Four 2, Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver SurferRide Along and Kevin Hart: What Now?, will helm New Line’s Shaft reboot, according to reports.

Recently, Tim Story directed the pilot for the Showtime series White Famous, based on Jamie Foxx’s early career and will star Jay Pharoah. He shot Humbug, a remake of A Christmas Carol that will star Ice Cube for Universal Pictures and Motown Hustle, which is coming out from Fox. 

The screenplay for the action comedy is written by Kenya Barris (creator of Black-ish) and Alex Barnow (The Goldbergs). According to reports, it “will have a comedic tone but…retain its action roots.” 

Shaft started out as a novel by Ernest Tidyman that was published in 1970. New York City private detective John Shaft is a complicated man who takes the job of finding a mobster’s missing daughter. Gordon Parks directed the film adaptation in 1971. The movie made Richard Roundtree, currently doing an extended stint on Chicago Fire, an icon. Shaft took Hollywood behind the middle school and produced two sequels, Shaft’s Big Score in 1972 and Shaft in Africa in 1973.

In 2000, John Singleton directed a loose sequel featuring Samuel L. Jackson as the nephew of the original badass, Christian Bale, Jeffrey Wright, Vanessa Williams, Elizabeth Banks and Toni Collette for Paramount. It sold $70 million at the box office.

Shaft starts filming next month.
