The trio have been interested in witchcraft but things go haywire when one of the characters start misusing their new power. ‘The Craft’ also featured Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell and Rachel True.

‘The Craft’ was a box office hit. The movie made $55 million worldwide on only a $15 million budget.

Actress Sues CBS For Not Being Cast on the ‘Young and the Restless’

0

Former ‘Young and the Restless’ actor sues CBS and Sony Pictures.

A former ‘Young and Restless’ actor is currently suing CBS because allegedly, the network fired her after she advocated for more African American actors to join the cast.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, actress Victoria Rowell is currently suing CBS Corp. and Sony Pictures after the actress claimed the network fired her from working on the TV show. The former ‘Young and Restless’ star filed a lawsuit in February claiming that despite public interest in her role as Drucilla Barber Winters, CBS and Sony Pictures wouldn’t re-hire her because of “outspokenness about increasing the presence of African-Americans both in front of and behind the camera in soap operas.”

But, it is going to be an uphill battle for Rowell as CBS and Sony Pictures have gone on the offensive.

The broadcaster and producers have not only thrown up an anticipated First Amendment challenge to such a claim, but have also cast doubt on the idea of an actress who is so popular, she doesn’t need to go through the formality of applying to support a legal claim of retaliation under the Fair Employment and Housing Act.

Rowell’s lawsuit “describes the numerous attempts of Plaintiff and those acting on her behalf to ask Defendants if she could ‘return to Y&R,’ but she never alleges she actually applied for any position,” states a motion to dismiss (read here).

CBS and Sony tell the judge there’s no requirement under FEHA that employers create new positions when asked. They say it would “open the floodgates” to lawsuits against employers.

As THR points out, CBS’s argument basically means that casting decisions are creative expressions protected by the First Amendement. The same argument was used by ABC when the network allegedly chose to feature whit cast members more than non-white cast members on ‘The Bachelor’.

Here’s a brief history of the film:

Back in 1980, George Lucas wanted a film to play with Empire Strikes Back in the UK and ended up commissioning then art director Roger Christian to make it. Christian, who had set-directed Star Wars, and art-directed both Alien and Monty Python’s The Life Of Brian, made the short film in Scotland and titled it Black Angel.The film is a swords-and-sorcery tale of a knight traversing a plague-stricken land with many elements of dream imagery and mythical archetypes woven throughout. [A.V. Club]

No one has seen this short film in over 30 years. Now, thanks to YouTube and the power of the Internet we can feast our eyes on the entire short film. You can watch it over and over again to make up for all those times you watched ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ without it.

Netflix is Increasing the Number of Original Shows and Movies

0

Netflix is ramping up the number of original content for 2015-2016.

Do you have a new and original TV show idea? Well you better send your script to Netflix. According to reports Netflix is increasing the amount of original programs the streaming network provides.

Variety reports that chief content officer Ted Sarandos is interested in increasing the number of original productions.

“Right now, our original programming spend has been more efficient dollar for dollar” than licensed content, he said at the MoffettNathanson Media & Communications Summit in New York. “On the original content programming side, our appetite has only grown… we’re moving (spending) from efficient to super-efficient.”

Netflix calculates the value of content based on dollar spent per hour viewed by members. Sarandos declined to specify what percentage of Netflix’s content spending goes toward originals; in the past, the company has pegged originals as representing around 10% of content spend. In 2014, Netflix spent a net $3.2 billion streaming content globally (accounting for $593 million reduction in streaming-content liabilities), up from a comparable $2.4 billion the year prior.

“Three years ago, we had zero originals. We were drafting off other people’s programming,” Sarandos said. “The ability to be relevant in that short amount of time is surprising. It surpassed our expectations.” [Variety]

In 2015, Netflix has released or plans to debut at least 48 original shows including Marvel’s ‘Daredevil’ and “Orange is the New Black’ season 3. Netflix is also working on a sequel to ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ to hit Netflix in August 2015.

Ratings Hit Series Low for ‘Marvel’s Agents of Shield’

0

Is ABC going to cancel ‘Marvel’s Agents of Shield‘?

According to reports, ABC’s ‘Marvel’s Agents of Shield’ hit a series low in their season 1 finale. After weeks of steady ratings, the season finale had their worst ratings yet.

According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” averaged a 1.3 rating/4 share in adults 18-49 and 4.0 million viewers overall with its two-hour finale from 9 to 11. The result is a bit surprising given that it had averaged a 1.5 or 1.6 with each of its last five episode. And vs. last year’s hourlong finale (2.0 in 18-49, 5.5 million), “SHIELD” was down about 30%. It continues to be a strong performer in DVR playback, with last week’s episode spiking more than 80% in 18-49 (more than any other Tuesday show) to surge ahead of timeslot rival “NCIS: New Orleans.” One plus for ABC was that, since the network typically struggles in the 10 p.m., the two-hour score for “SHIELD” was above average for the net. [Variety]

At the end of the day ABC is probably not going to cancel a series with 4.0 million viewer on a bad night. But, if things continue downward for ABC’s ‘Marvel’s Agents of Shield’ expect the network to pull the plug without a single bit of hesitation.

According to reports, Gap is launching Casting Call 2015, a contest that will give parents the opportunity to submit their kids for a chance to be featured in a GapKids or babyGap commercial or photoshoot.

This year, as part of the submission process, parents can create a playful, animated video that captures their child’s unique personality and can be shared with friends and family to spread the word about the contest. Back by popular demand, parents can also encourage others to vote for their child in the finalist phase of the program, allowing the GapKids community to once again help determine the next face of the brand.

“Casting Call is one of our favorite programs at Gap and we think that it’s a favorite for parents around the world as well,” said Olivia Doyne, Senior Director of Global Marketing at Gap. “By celebrating kids and their individual personalities and interests, we hope to encourage them to always believe in their unique selves.”

Casting Call 2015 Submission Process
As part of the submission process, Gap is asking parents to submit one photo of their child between now and June 7, 2015. After a submission is processed, parents can make a personalized animated video with their child’s photo that is socially sharable. Details on where and how to enter can be found on www.gapcastingcall.com.

Entry Phase: From May 12June 7, 2015 parents can upload one photo of their baby (ages four and under) or child (ages five to 12) along with contact information. Submissions are accepted on www.gapcastingcall.com. Once processed, parents can make a personalized animated video with their child’s photo that is socially sharable. They can come back to see their child in the on-site gallery once their entry is approved.

Finalist & Voting Phase: From June 22June 29, 2015 a panel of Gap judges in each global region (North America [United States and Canada], United Kingdom [including Ireland], France, and Japan) will narrow down the field of submissions to 40 finalists per region; 10 per category (Kid Boy, Kid Girl, Baby Boy, Baby Girl). All finalists will receive a $100 Gap gift card and will be posted to the Community Voting website where consumers can vote for their favorites for each category. There will be one vote per day, per category allowed. Four finalists in each region with the highest number of votes and scores will be declared Grand Prize winners.
