Let’s be real; Boondock Saints fans were never so enamored of the sequel, and recent reports of a fan-funded prequel series raised more eyebrows than capital. Writer-director Troy Duffy at least hoped a TV series could pave the way for stars Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery to complete a film trilogy, but the real-life MacManus brothers now step up to distance themselves from the property.
You know a TV series has captured public interest when SNL drops a parody after only four episodes, but the sketch comedy series’ first crack at The Handmaid’s Tale … could have used more time under his eye. Watch Chris Pine reveal what happened to all the chill bros when the Republic of Gilead started putting its women in bonnets.
The Boondock Saints moved a few inches (and a few hundred dollars) closer to resurrection with news of a fan-funded Origins TV series, though it seemed questionable stars Norman Reedus or Sean Patrick Flanery would participate. Now, The Boondock Saints: Origins addresses whether the original stars have any involvement, including on a film sequel.
However unlikely that we’ll tire of Tom Cruise running, the most recent major War of the Worlds adaptation borrowed pretty liberally from H.G. Wells’ 1898 novel. The BBC now aims to fix that, plotting a new 2018 miniseries true to the original Victorian setting.
The Daily Show has gone on long enough that you’d have a hard time picking any one dream cast to reunite. Nevertheless, Stephen Colbert may have found it, setting joint Late Show appearances for Jon Stewart, John Oliver, Samantha Bee and more.
We knew Always Sunny cast like Danny DeVito might take additional projects over hiatus, but Jeff Goldblum leading an Amazon series? We will definitely, uh, find a way. The once and future Jurassic Park star will lead a new Amazon musician comedy alongside DeVito, featuring the two as “an iconic music duo from the past.”
The animosity between SNL and Donald Trump isn’t going anywhere, but it’s hard to overlook the series’ role in normalizing the then-presidential candidate. Well, as it turns out, SNL apparently tried to mend fences with its fiercest critic, inviting Trump back alongside Alec Baldwin.
Blessed be the fruit, Hulu’s best (and most terrifying) original series isn’t going anywhere. The streaming outlet has placed a Season 2 order for the adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s decisively feminist novel The Handmaid’s Tale.
The prospect of a Deadwood revival movie is heating up now that creator David Milch has turned in a complete script, but assembling the cast is another matter. Thankfully, the movie’s most vocal proponent came prepared, as Ian McShane would balance Deadwood with Starz’s American Gods.
Deadwood revival updates have been few and far between these days, beyond star Ian McShane’s occasional insistence that creator David Milch was hard at work. At the very least, McShane’s latest claims prove to be true, as another series alum reveals they’ve read the completed movie script, calling it “f–ing thrilling and f–ing heartbreaking.”
