Amber Skye Noyes (The Deuce, Beauty and the Beast) has been cast in a recurring role on the third season of ABC's Quantico. She will play Celine Fox, a new recruit of an elite black ops team. Quantico, which debuted in 2015, is set for a mid-season premiere. The show, from executive producers Josh Safran and Mark Gordon, follows young FBI recruits training at the Quantico base.

Every year, the studios take their best genre successes and try to push them beyond the technical ghetto. Oscar campaigners want to convince critics, guilds, and Oscar voters that their movie rises to the level of art. But it’s rare for fantasy, horror, thriller, action or comic-book movies to pass over to the Best Picture side.

When they do, it tends to be an exception like Peter Jackson’s fantasy trilogy “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. All three films scored Best Picture nominations and technical wins: “Fellowship” scored 13 nominations and wins for Makeup, Visual Effects, and Cinematography; “The Two Towers” earned six and won Sound Editing and VFX; and then came the ultimate triumph for the finale “The Return of the King”: a grand sweep of all 11 nominations including Best Picture. But while “Lotr” fell into the fantasy genre, it was boosted by the literary pedigree of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Sleepy Hollow alum Zach Appelman is the man who has stolen Burgess’ heart on Chicago P.D.

The actor will guest-star on the NBC drama as federal prosecutor Matt Miller, the recently referenced new boyfriend of Intelligence rookie Kim Burgess, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Gal Gadot is doing pretty well for herself these days. “Wonder Woman” is behind only “Beauty and the Beast” as the highest-grossing film of the year, and “Justice League” is on the way. Before getting that life-changing part, however, the actress struggled to land high-profile gigs — including, it turns out, Imperator Furiosa of “Max Max: Fury Road.”

Gadot reveals that she was up for the role that eventually went to Charlize Theron in a new Hollywood Reporter interview. The reason she missed out on it and similar parts? She didn’t have the name recognition. “I had so many ‘almosts’ for big, great things, but I was never big enough of a name,” she says. “It was always me and ‘the big name’.”

Tim Burton's live-action Dumbo movie has added new cast member Alan Arkin. The cast in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Dumbo already includes Colin Farrell, Eva Green, Michael Keaton, and Danny DeVito. Nico Parker and Finley Hobbins will also appear in their first film roles.

The original story followed an baby circus elephant who strives to achieve his full potential.

In this reimagining, the film follows Holt Farrier, a former circus star who finds his life turned upside down when he returns from the war. Circus owner Max Medici enlists Holt to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when Holt’s children discover that Dumbo can fly, persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere and an aerial artist named Colette Marchant swoop in to make the peculiar pachyderm a star.

Arkin will take on the role of J Griffin Remington,...

Dumbo, Disney’s latest live-action remake of one of their classic animated films, has found yet another big name talent to add to its cast.

Variety has confirmed today that Argo‘s Alan Arkin has now signed up for the pic. A legendary actor and one who always impresses, this will mark the second time that Arkin’s teamed up with director Tim Burton, as the pair previously worked together on 1990’s Edward Scissorhands.

He’s not the only Burton regular to be roped in for the project, either. Former Beetlejuice and Batman star Michael Keaton is on board, as is his Batman Returns co-star Danny DeVito (who also worked with Burton on Mars Attacks! and Big Fish). Another Burton regular, Eva Green (Dark Shadows, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children), is involved as well, rounding out what’s a very impressive cast.

This weekend could feature a little excitement at the top of the box office as Fox debuts Alien: Covenant into theaters domestically where it hopes to end the the two week reign of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at the top of the box office and depending on who you ask it could go either way. Fox will also release the fourth film in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul, and Warner Bros. is releasing Everything, Everything, based on the best-selling novel of the same name, hoping to find some of the magic they found last year in Me Before You.

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, and to paraphrase those renowned seventies scholars the Brady Bunch, “When it’s time to change then it’s time to change.”

While I’ve tried my hardest to slowly sneak those changes in, it’s gotten to the point where we’ll need to do something more drastic if the few of you reading the Weekend Warrior on a weekly basis actually want it to remain coming to you on a weekly basis. Because of that, we’re going to try something different by not throwing in as much independent limited releases for those checking the column out, and making the column a little more focused at least for the time being.

Kristin Kreuk‘s word is law. Or at least it will be up North.

The Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) has placed a 10-episode straight-to-series order for a untitled small-town legal drama starring and exec produced by the Smallville and Beauty and the Beast actress.

RelatedSmallville‘s Big Finish: An Oral History Marking 5 Years Since Clark Took Flight

The project, from writer Brad Simpson (King, Rookie Blue), centers on Joanne, a fast-rising attorney who leaves her fancy big-city corporate job to tackle a controversial case in her hometown. And she ends up staying put.

Production is slated to begin this summer in Winnipeg.

Chances are you will recognise the above title as an infamous line from William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar – but don’t panic, it’s not time to dust off your old school textbooks. Just that yours truly decided to pop along to his local cinema the other night for a screening with a difference. Broadcast live from the Royal Shakespeare Company Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon to the Reel Cinema in Grantham, no less, was their 2017 production of the historic play. I may never pay to go and watch a movie again.

Okay, so that’s more than a slight exaggeration, but amongst Beauty and the Beast, Their Finest and The Fate of the Furious, it just leapt out at me. As I had watched a version of Julius Caesar many moons ago on a school trip, I had an inkling of what to expect from the play itself. However, it was...

It's hard to imagine how any show can put a comedic spin on the topic of euthanasia, or assisted suicide.

Yet Mary Kills People Season 1 Episode 1, "Bloody Mary," manages to put a darkly humorous filter on this potential downer of a subject.

Not that they take a flippant approach at all. Dr. Mary Harris is a true believer in the compassionate nature of her side business.

It is a service and a privilege she undertakes for her patients.

We're afraid because we don't know what to expect.... but just because there's uncertainty doesn't mean that there's anything to fear

Mary Permalink: We're afraid because we don't know what to expect.... but just because there's uncertainty... Added: April 21, 2017

There's no rushing the process for Mary no matter what how often wham-bam-thank-you-doc Des might nudge her to pick up the pace.

Her patients need to be ready and willing to take that final drink.

There’s no need for a spoiler alert when talking about Caroline Dhavernas‘ new series. Her character’s big secret is right there in the title: Mary Kills People.

But unlike the protagonist of Dhavernas’ former series, Hannibal, the lead in Lifetime’s new drama ends lives for mercy — not art (or dinner).

Mary is a medical doctor who, unbeknownst to her family, provides suicide assistance to the terminally ill on the side. Season 1 already aired in Dhavernas’ native Canada, a country that recently voted to legalize the practice.

"I will beat you like a Cherokee drum," Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson tells Jason Statham in The Fate of the Furious – which, it turns out, is also a great way to describe what the film itself did to the competition at the box office this weekend. The eighth and newest installment in the car-obsessed, pseudo-superhero franchise racking up an estimated, Nos-fueled $532.5 million in global revenue, including $100.2 million domestically and $432.2 million overseas. That gives F8, as it's been referred to, the biggest worldwide opening of all time, beating previous champ Star Wars: The Force Awakens,...

Caroline Dhavernas, star of Lifetime’s Mary Kills People, has always been a fan of the unusual.

The Canadian actress -- who sunk her teeth into characters like Jaye Tyler on the short-lived whimsical dramedy Wonderfalls and Dr. Alana Bloom on the poetic psychological horror-thriller Hannibal -- is eagerly awaiting Showtime’s upcoming Twin Peaks revival. “I can’t wait,” the 38-year-old exclaims giddily over the phone during an early morning chat in April. “I’m beside myself. I don’t understand why I’m not a part of that show.”

Study Dhavernas’ resume and you’ll see why. As the aforementioned roles indicate (both notably with frequent collaborator Bryan Fuller, whose next project is Starz's American Gods adaptation), the Montreal, Quebec native has a knack for leaning into the quirky, the peculiar and the just plain weird -- and she’s absolutely Ok with that.

“I like when things are completely absurd. I love that...

With its elevated Good Friday grosses, this weekend usually attracts multiple high-end releases, particularly those aimed at families. Not this year. Rival distributors ceded the ground to Universal’s “The Fate of the Furious,” the eighth entry in their wildly successful road-race franchise. What began in 2001 as a much simpler story about illegal street-car competitions has become a worldwide phenomenon that, by its seventh outing in 2015, grossed $1.5 billion.

“Furious 7” got unexpected traction with the tragic death of lead actor Paul Walker before that film completed production. But the series already had major momentum (2013’s entry opened around $100 million domestic and ended up about $550 million worldwide). But last time, domestic results increased by nearly 50 percent while the world doubled, with international returns to around 70 percent of the totals (and China leading the charge).

Don’t expect that trajectory to continue, but even if domestic results don’t quite match “Furious 7” ($147 million opening,...

Yes, it’s only April and there have already been a few horror movie duds, from the lifeless sequel “Rings” to the laughable “The Bye Bye Man,” but genre fans have other reasons to celebrate. The first quarter of 2017 has been filled with exciting developments for horror, science fiction and supernatural storytelling, with more promising twists around the corner. Of course, anyone watching the variety of international genre cinema showcased at film festivals around the world was never despairing in the first place, but there are years in which few strong genre movies cross over to a mainstream audience, while plenty of subpar examples cram the multiplexes.

This is not one of those times. From exciting commercial successes to new venues for showcasing first-rate work, 2017 is crammed with reasons why we’re living in a golden age of genre cinema. Here are a few of them.

“Get Out” is a cultural phenomenon.

At first glance, the exclusive trailer for Mary Kills People — as well as the title of Caroline Dhavernas’ new Lifetime drama itself — may make you think that the Hannibal alum is back on familiar, murderous ground.

Welcome to this week’s “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming wide release movies. After a record breaking debut from Beauty and the Beast last weekend, three new releases look to make a splash at the box office.

None are likely to dethrone Beauty and the Beast, but lets see if any of these movies are worth your time.

Have you been missing Rupert Grint lately? If the answer is yes, we have a sweet treat for you! The Harry Potter actor, who has been mostly out of the spotlight in recent years, stopped by The Late Late Show on Monday night, where he ended up talking about his pal Ed Sheeran. Rupert, who played an Ed Sheeran look-alike in his 2011 music video for "Lego House," revealed that people still regularly mistake him for the singer. "It's kind of 50/50 now," Rupert told host James Corden about what happens when fans approach him. "If someone stops me, it could go either way. I could be Ed or I could be me." And in typical, hilarious Rupert fashion, he says he usually just plays along. If that isn't enough to make you smile, Rupert shares the couch with Beauty and the Beast star Dan Stevens, whose costar happens to be Emma Watson,...

To be fair, Ron Weasley did live in a “Castle on the Hill.” It’s safe to say that Rupert Grint has a memorable face. After playing the lovable Ron Weasley in all eight of the Harry Potter films, the 28-year-old British actor regularly gets recognized on the street.

However, when he does get stopped by a fan, it’s not always a fan of his! In fact, he regularly gets mistaken for singer Ed Sheeran.

“Logan” will open huge this weekend, but the well-reviewed R-rated “Wolverine” sequel starring Hugh Jackman will provide Hollywood with something it needs more than great box office: It means permission to challenge the status quo.

Studios are in trouble. Box office is down four percent for the year to date — and the main culprit is combining familiar franchise properties with tried-and-true formulas.

Of course, “Logan” is the 10th installment in the “X-Men” franchise, which 20th Century Fox launched 16 years ago with producer Lauren Shuler Donner. But “Wolverine” director James Mangold didn’t direct it like a sequel.

Here’s how Mangold threw out the studio rulebook — and why Fox let him.

1. Get the backing of a major star.

Immediately after finishing “Wolverine” in 2013, Jackman and Mangold had a chat: Did they want to do this movie again? “If there was one, it would be his last one,” Mangold told me in a telephone interview.

Niki Caro, director of Whale Rider, has been selected by Disney to helm the live-action remake of Mulan.

It’s getting quite tricky to keep up with which of the many assorted animated movie to live action film projects Disney is lining up first. There’s certainly no shortage of them in the works, with Beauty And The Beast next up, releasing in the middle of March. Furthermore, it looks like Dumbo is heading into production this year, if the cast can be locked down. Tim Burton is still expected to direct that one.

Manuel here with news of what has to be the curious-est film in Disney's quite crowded animation-to-live-action slate of films. As we await the carbon-copy version of Beauty and the Beast and keep worrying that somehow the execs will manage to screw up the upcoming Mulan feature film, news broke last week that the Mouse House had tapped Marc Forster (World War Z, Quantum of Solace) to direct Christopher Robin.

Yes, Winnie the Pooh's Christopher Robin is getting the live-action fantasy film treatment. (This is not to be confused with the current filming A.A. Milne biopic.) Here's the brief description of the project:

Falling in line behind Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Mulan, Snow White, The Lion King and many, many more, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Marc Forster has agreed terms to helm Christopher Robin, Disney’s fantasy drama designed to follow the human character of Pooh’s lush world.

Given the barnstorming success of The Jungle Book galvanized this new wave of live-action remakes, it’s not too surprising to hear that the Mouse House has elected Brigham Taylor, producer on Jon Favreau‘s lucrative hit, to produce. Alex Ross Perry, meanwhile, will pen the script.
