Following G.I. Joe: Retaliation's admirable $132 million opening, Paramount has decided to move forward on another action-packed sequel.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation Debuts Atop the Box Office
As Variety points out, the decision may seem sudden, but it's worth noting that the studio had nine months to think it over during Retaliation's 3D conversion delay.
On the heels of the show' panel at WonderCon this past weekend (where a different clip reel was played), CBS have put out a First Look video for Under the Dome. Based on the novel by Stephen King, Under the Dome is executive produced by Brian K. Vaughan (Y the Last Man, Lost).
Check out the video below, which mixes clips with behind the scenes footage and interviews.
Note: Full spoilers for the episode follow:
Hey everyone, I'm sorry my review is so late this week. Nikita was preempted in my area for preseason baseball on Friday night and then I had a lot of family commitments this weekend because of the Easter holiday. I really enjoyed the character stuff in "Inevitability", but the plot felt pretty generic, despite a big revelation.
The centerpiece of the episode was the conflict between Alex and Nikita. I loved the scenes between Maggie Q and Lyndsy Fonseca. Yes, it appears Amanda has messed with Alex's head a bit, but I don't think she was brainwashed. I think it's more like Amanda poked around her brain a little to bring to the surface all the misgivings that Alex has been sublimating. Alex has never been crazy about keeping Division going and returned out of loyalty to Nikita. What works about the rift between our leading ladies is that both of them have a valid point of view and are doing what they believe is right. But would Alex challenge Nikita's authority in front of the rest of Division if her brain wasn't compromised? I don't think so.
Arrow was the highest rated premiere on The CW since The Vampire Diaries, and its popularity has continued over the course of the first season, leading to an early renewal for Season 2. Producer Marc Guggenheim was joined by cast members Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen), Willa Holland (Thea Queen), Colin Donnell (Tommy Merlyn), and Paul Blackthorne (Quentin Lance) at WonderCon today to tease what's ahead as the season finale inches closer.
Though the finale isn't written yet, Guggenheim promises it's going to deliver. The Undertaking is where they're headed, and they've been saving resources for these last few episodes. “We've been basically setting aside money for the last several episodes to put towards the last two episodes of the season.” All the things they've been hinting at in terms of what the Undertaking is and all the stuff happening on the island will come to a head, and they've earmarked the money to do it justice.
