AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’ Renewed for Eighth Season

0

AMC has no plans on shutting down production of The Walking Dead

The cable network has announced an early renewal for the zombie drama The Walking Dead, picking up the series for another season due in late 2017.

The news was announced on Sunday and comes just a week before season seven premieres with the franchise’s most anticipated episode yet.

The hour and half season six finale saw Negan’s group, the Saviors, hunt down Rick and the gang. The episode cut to black only to reveal the sounds of Negan beating one of the cast members to death. The ending of the episode leaves the characters: Rick, Michonne, Glenn, Daryl, Rosita, Carl, Maggie, Aaron, Eugene, Abraham and Sasha in jeopardy.

“Eeny, meeny, miny, more,” AMC president Charlie Collier said in a statement with a nod to Negan’s famous line from the comics and season six finale. “What a joy to partner with Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple and some of the hardest-working people in television to bring The Walking Dead to the fans. And, most important, thanks to those fans for breathing life into this remarkable series right along with us.”

The Walking Dead ranks as AMC’s longest-running series.

Bryan Cranston Reveals How He Got into His ‘Breaking Bad’ Character

Actor Bryan Cranston knew he was Walter White the moment he read the pilot script of the hit TV series Breaking Bad nearly 10 years ago.

But when creator Vince Gilligan told him that show’s will soon the over the show’s forthcoming seasons the planned arc was to morph Walter White into a menacing drug dealer, Cranston was shocked.

‘The script was oh-my-God superb, the best hour-long drama I ever read,’ Cranston writes in his memoir, A Life in Parts, published by Simon and Schuster last week.

‘I began dreaming about this character, this Walter White. I was waking up in the middle of the night with him on my mind.’

‘That day I saw Jane die… I went to a place I’d never been,’ Branston writes. ‘I’d put everything into that scene. All the things I was and all the things I might have been: all the side roads and the missteps. All the stuttering successes and the losses I thought might sink me. I was murderous and I was capable of great love. I was a victim, moored by my circumstances, and I was the danger. I was Walter White. I was never more myself.’

Cranston ultimately changed. He knew he could act as the killer, drawing upon a past wild sexual affair he fell into with a woman, identified as Ava, who he first met at an audition for a TV show in Los Angeles in the early 1980s.

It all started after he met Ava. Cranston explains that he couldn’t get her out of his head until he envisioned himself killing her by repeatedly bashing her head against a wall. Though it was all in his mind, the killing seemed so real to him.

Ava had asked him out when the first met, and he found her aggression attractive. They met at her apartment on Friday evening and he didn’t leave until Monday afternoon.

‘I’ve never been into drugs – I do drink now and then, nothing out of hand – but that weekend with Ava felt like what I imagine a binge or bender must feel like. I lost track of time,’ Cranston writes. She was crazy, he says, but ‘crazy creates great sex’.

 

It ended up being a destructive relationship as she would not move on. Ava would start stalking him across the country leaving threatening voicemails and following Cranston where ever he went. ‘No, we’re not breaking up,’ she responded, Cranston explained.

Ultimately, Cranston had a dream of killing Ava.

‘I adjusted my grip on her body to hold her shoulder firmly with my left hand, and her hair at the back of her head with my right hand. Her screaming continued but I was no longer hearing words, just a cacophony of high-pitched sound. I walked her over to the lone brick wall in the apartment. ‘I slammed her head against the brick wall. Months and months of fury rippled throughout me and gave me an almost superhuman strength. I slammed her head against the wall with a metronomic consistency. Clumps of hair and bits of skin and brain matter stuck to the brick. Blood formed on the wall and then began dribbling to the floor.’

While it was all a dream, Cranston explained that he felt for the first time that he could kill someone. He explains he used that experience to create the character of Walter White.

In addition, Cranston also revealed that while he was given the opportunity to audition for the role of Walter White, studio executives considered other actors, Christian Slater, Paul McCrane, Adam Godley, John Carroll Lynch, Henry Thomas, Matthew Broderick and Steve Zahn, Cranston was disturbed.

He felt so upset that the studio wanted to pass on him, that he spread a rumor saying another show picked him up. It would take five days before Cranston received the call saying he would play Walter White.

‘Stranger Things’ Gaten Matarazzo Gave an Emotional Interview About his Disability

0

Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin in Stranger Things opened up about his disability on The Jonathan Ross Show.

 He said he has cleidocranial dysplasia, which is a condition that affects the growth of the bones.

Matarazzo explained, “It’s a condition where you are born without your collarbones; I don’t have any. It affects your facial growth, your skull growth, it affects your teeth. That’s why I don’t have any – these are fake – I have teeth but they’re all baby teeth.”

He also revealed that he missed out on hundreds of acting opportunities because of his disability. He said, “my lisp, me being shorter, and having the teeth issue’ meant writers couldn’t ‘write in my disability’.”

The Internet went crazy and supported the young actor.

Pennsylvania Approves 30% Film Tax Credits to Boost Film Industry

Pennsylvania increases their tax credits to 30%.

Georgia’s film industry is booming thanks in part to the film tax credits. But, other states are looking to compete in the film industry by boosting the amount of filming incentives. One of the latest states to compete in the film industry is Pennsylvania.

According to Variety, Pennsylvania will increase the film tax credits up to 30%.

From Variety:

Producers who come to Pennsylvania have a lot of financial lures to chase, including a 25% transferable tax credit on both above-the-line and below-the-line workers. The credit can be further boosted by 5% if a production uses qualified production facilities and meets minimum staging requirements.

However, the biggest difference between Pennsylvania and Georgia’s film tax credit system is that Pennsylvania caps the amount of money in the program to $65 million. While, Georgia’s film tax credits is currently uncapped.

Some of the biggest movies have filmed in Pennsylvania including Mindhunter, Fences, Creed, Southpaw and Will Smith’s Concussion.
