Deadline has confirmed that Cheryl Tiano, an agent at Gorfaine-Schwartz who repped such composers as Gravity Oscar winner Steve Price, X-Files composer Mark Snow, and Brian Tyler, has died at 59 after heart surgery complications.
Tiano was a 27-year vet of Gorfaine-Schwartz, repping in addition to film and TV composers, those breaking ground in the video game sphere as well.
The agency said in a statement, “It is with deepest sorrow that we mourn the passing of our dear friend and colleague Cheryl Tiano. Cheryl was a beloved member of our Gsa family for nearly 30 years… It is impossible to express how deeply we will miss her.”

Whoopi Goldberg will be facing 18 other actors who want her seat on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors, the Academy revealed to its members on Friday.
The Academy posted the list of candidates for the board from all 17 of its branches, with incumbent Actors Branch governor Goldberg going up against a slate of challengers that includes past governor Ed Begley Jr., as well as Richard Dreyfuss, James and Stacy Keach, Tim Matheson, Joe Pantoliano, Lou Diamond Phillips and Rita Wilson, whose husband, Tom Hanks, served on the board for many years.
Other branches whose contenders hit double digits included Cinematographers (12), Directors (13), Executives (12), Producers (16), Sound (10) and Visual Effects (10).
But the Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Branch, in which incumbent Kathryn Blondell was ineligible to run again, has only a single candidate, Linda Flowers.

Movie and TV composers are in greater demand than ever for, surprisingly, new music for the concert hall.
For decades, concert commissions for film composers were few and far between. The increasing popularity of John Williams’ film music, and his visibility as conductor of the Boston Pops in the 1980s and ’90s, led to his writing a number of concert works, but Williams was, for the most part, the exception to the rule.
That is changing, some composers say, because orchestra managers are reaching the belated conclusion that film music communicates immediately to audiences, and the current trend of live-to-picture concerts of movie hits (everything from “Star Wars” to “Lord of the Rings”) is bringing in big bucks. As a result, adventurous programmers are seeking new works by established film composers in hopes that audiences have developed a thirst for similarly melodic, even exciting, music by names they recognize even...

The longer Scream Factory has been in business, the more high profile and “classic” titles they have released, the more they have begun to dig a little deeper for the kinds of catalogue titles and semi-obscurities for which devoted horror fans have been clamoring for years. New licensing deals have made new titles possible, including three new releases that have been among the most highly requested movies in Scream Factory’s history. As if there was any doubt, the fact that these three films now have special edition Blu-rays are proof positive that we are living in a golden age of home video.
First up is Brainscan, a 1994 effort in the tradition of Evilspeak, Trick or Treat, and 976-Evil in which a lonely, depressed kid named Michael (Edward Furlong) unlocks the door into a world of horror when a computer game called Brainscan puts him in the body of a...

At this point, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ governors election looks more like a round-up than a race; more than 180 members have declared their interest in filling 17 contested spots on the 54-member Board of Governors.
Voting in the run-off round starts on Monday and ends May 18. That will narrow the present field to a maximum of four nominees per branch in the final round, which follows.
For now, there are on average about 11 candidates in the running for each slot. In the casting directors and costume design branches, only three members have declared for each slot. But not so in the actors branch, where 17 members — including Brie Larson, Jacki Weaver and Meg Ryan — are vying for the spot being vacated by termed-out Tom Hanks; or the producers, executives, and public relations branches, all of which have a bumper crop of candidates.

Shoot ‘em-ups have been a mainstay of my gaming existence ever since the days of Nemesis (aka Gradius) on the Commodore 64 and Xevious on the Nes. To this day I will pick a shmup over a Fps shooter each and every time. Which is why I love current-gen gaming… Besides numerous re-releases of Neo Geo games like Blazing Star, we have shmups such as Sine Mora Ex and now Earth Atlantis appearing on the Switch – which is, honestly, becoming my go-to console these days.

First released in 2012 on the previous generation of consoles, Sine Mora Ex is a beautiful, cinematic and modern bullet hell shoot-em-up that channels classic genre staples from 1942 to Ikaruga. I tend to find this kind of recent-release-remake fairly contrived due to a lack of new features but, obviously, this iteration of Sine Mora Ex, is completely new to the Switch and is also one the few shmups currently available on the handheld (the others mainly being re-releases of old Neo Geo titles). Plus, like the other version of the game already available on other consoles, as well as a returning story driven campaign that is lengthy and challenging, players also gain access to a new cooperative mode, three versus modes and a challenge mode.
Although I said Sine Mora Ex was story driven, that’s not a reason to keep playing it. The story is both bonkers and confusing, and features a tale of revenge,...

A thousand years from now, when we've all been uploaded to a giant computer somewhere, archaeologists will term the late 20th century as the Bp epoch - Before Polygons.

Cinemas closed and concerts cancelled in aftermath of deadly Nice attack; cast and crew of ‘50 Shades Darker’ reported safe.
French President Francois Hollande has declared three days of national mourning following a brutal terror attack on people gathered on the seafront in Nice to watch a firework display marking Bastille Day on Thursday evening.
France’s interior ministry said on Friday morning that 84 people died and another 18 people had been left with life-threatening injuries after a man deliberately drove an Hgv lorry into festive crowds on the resort’s famous seafront Promenade des Anglais.
Hollande, who was due to visit Nice on Friday afternoon with Prime Minister Manuel Valls, also announced the extension of France’s state of emergency, first put in place following the killing of 130 people in a wave of attacks across Paris on November 13.

The previous two entries of The Purge franchise have been pretty good little action-thrillers mixed with sci-fi/horror concepts at a political angle. When 2015 didn’t have a Purge film, I figured they were taking the year off to maybe flesh out their political commentary and time it with the release of 2016, an election year. When I saw the title, The Purge: Election Year, my prediction seems to be on point.
Frank Grillo returns from the previous entry, The Purge: Anarchy, as a hired head of security to protect Senator Charlie Roan, played by Elizabeth Mitchell, during her presidential campaign. Roan is also the sole survivor of an incident that happened 15 years ago (more on this later) where her family was brutally slaughtered by a purger who held them hostage and made Roan decide who would live out of the ordeal all while listening to George Clinton & The Funkadelics.

George Clinton and the Parliament-Funkadelic, along with former key members Bootsy Collins and keyboardist Bernie Worrell, dropped by the Late Show With Stephen Colbert Monday to perform the funk group's 1978 hit "Flash Light" ahead of an all-star New York "funkraiser" for Worrell that night. Jon Batiste and the Late Show also sat in on the performance of the party-starting classic.
In January, Worrell revealed that he's battling a "mild form" of prostate cancer and stage-four liver cancer. To help Worrell with his medical bills, friends and admirers of the Rock...

Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars just took home a major honor! The "Uptown Funk" collaborators won the Grammy award for Record of the Year, which was presented by the one and only Beyonce. "I just want to thank these guys for being some of the greatest, musicians and performers around," Ronson said during his acceptance speech. "I see George Clinton over there, a man who has done more for the word funk that we could ever hope to dream of in our entire lives. So I want to thank James Brown, George Clinton...Prince, Earth Wind and Fire of course." "Thank you guys so much," Mars added on stage. "This is dedicated to the fans."

Kendrick Lamar is very likely going to win some Grammys this year. That's a good thing, because Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly deserves every piece of praise it earned last year. It's a rich, challenging work that marries jazz, hip-hop and funk to Lamar's dense, knotty and socially conscious rhymes. Any wins for Lamar and Butterfly are net gains for music. At least one of those wins, however, would also be a win for George Clinton, founding member of Parliament, Funkadelic and one of the chief architects of funk music and by extension, hip-hop. Clinton is nominated as part of...

In their freshman year, Marvel’s Netflix Daredevil series and DC’s CW show the Flash got some of the most overwhelmingly positive reviews of any TV shows ever based on super heroes. They are arguably the two best debut seasons for shows adapted from a comic book. Which one is better? Cinelinx looks at these two excellent shows to determine the live action small screen comic champ.
There have been lots and lots of live action TV programs based on comic books, starting with the Adventures of Superman in the 1950s. Ever since then, we’ve had Batman, the Green Hornet, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk, Shazam/Isis, Superboy, the Flash (the original), Lois & Clark: the New Adventures of Superman, Birds of Prey, Mutant X, Smallville, Agents of Shield, Arrow, Constantine and Gotham.

George Clinton, doyen of funk, captain of the Mothership, needs no introduction, but just for reference: His catalogue spans six decades and more than 30 albums, encompassing his legendary bands Parliament and Funkadelic, as well as his solo work. His music has been sampled by everyone from Sleigh Bells to Snoop Dogg. He’s on the new Kendrick Lamar album. A replica of his preferred mode of transportation, the Mothership — a cartoonishly elaborate silver spaceship from which he would descend during P-Funk live shows in the 1970s — is now housed in the National Museum of African American History. The sound he perfected, and largely invented, combined Jimi Hendrix, doo-wop, soul, and rhythm and blues to create something entirely unique, and almost impossibly funky. Put simply, Clinton is one of the most important artists of our time. I spoke with him in advance of an upcoming appearance at the Brooklyn Museum, where...

The term ‘Afrofuturism*’ was coined by an American writer, Mark Dery, in 1994, and many of the key artists and theorists associated with the movement — Sun Ra, George Clinton, Janelle Monae, Flying Lotus, Greg Tate, Octavia Butler, Samuel R. Delany, Alondra Nelson, the list goes on — are/were American. But is it solely an American deal? In curating the film program ‘Space is the Place: Afrofuturism on Film’ at Brooklyn’s BAMcinématek, I wanted to highlight that the movement also has a distinct international, pan-African reach.** I included Wanuri Kahiu’s superb “Pumzi”, which is Kenya’s first science fiction film. “Afronauts” by Frances Bodomo — who grew up in Ghana (and Norway,...

Harvest Home: McNaughton’s Return Yields Blighted Crop
Fans of director John McNaughton, known for his gruesome cult classic Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1990), as well as that tawdry neo-noir Wild Things (1998), will be happy to realize he’s returned to filmmaking with The Harvest, his first feature film since 2001. An indie thriller written by first time screenwriter Stephen Lancellotti, it’s headlined by the likes of Michael Shannon and Samantha Morton. While there are several standout moments in the film, it’s constantly marred by an underwhelming screenplay that has a few too many inconsistencies to support the development of tension or believability. The insistent need for extravagant twists undermines the logic of the narrative, something unnecessary here considering the intensity of the performances.
Katherine (Morton) and Richard (Shannon) care for their son Andy (Charlie Tahan) in their isolated home in the countryside. Both working in the medical profession,...

Surprise! Kendrick Lamar's new album, To Pimp a Butterfly, is here a week ahead of schedule. Though if you ask some within his label, its release to iTunes — which strangely made the censored version available first — maybe wasn't as intentional as it looked. Then again, according to Kendrick's tweets, it may have all been part of a plan to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 2Pac's Me Against the World. (The legendary rapper even makes an eerie cameo at the album's end.) Either way, there's finally a new Kendrick album out in the world — so we stayed up all night to present our bleary first impressions, obviously. "Wesley's Theory" feat. George Clinton and Thundercat Is there a better way to begin an album this racially ignited than with a sample of Boris Gardiner's "Every Nigger Is a Star"? Probably not.

The Nintendo Wii U is without question, the underdog of the console market, even if it is the best console on store shelves right now. For gamers like myself, the most important difference between the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Wii U is the amount of exclusive games they offer. Sure, they have differences in Cpu and graphical power, but at the end of the day, it all boils down to the games we can play. While most big third-party developers have written off the Wii U, for gamers like me who frequently use Steam and have powerful enough computers to play most A-list titles featured on both the Xbox One and PS4, Nintendo wins, if only for it’s exclusive titles. Wii U owners don’t need third party games because Nintendo still produces a high percentage of the best games each and every year for both the WiiU and there portable system,...

There are few music personalities as colorful, wild, outrageous, and, well, funky as George Clinton. The man who gave the world Parliament and Funkandelic, and has made generations of listeners get up and shake it, is coming to New York City, and we want you to be there. On Monday, Clinton will appear at the Museum Of The Moving Image to present a screening of the 1994 HBO special "Cosmic Slop." It's a controversial triptych directed by Reginald Hudlin, Warrington Hudlin, and Kevin Rodney Sullivan. Based on the short story "The Space Traders" by Derrick Bell, it imagines a future where extraterrestrials promise the United States untold riches...if they hand over all the black people in the country. The screening will be followed by a talk with Clinton, who just released the memoir "Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain't That Funkin' Kinda Hard on You?," along with a book signing.

But among all the giant marquees, inflatable stands and multi-million dollar titles with queues a mile long to play them, there are all kinds of smaller indie games just waiting to be found.
In fact, there were so many indie games at Egx's Rezzed - the section of the event dedicated to small, independent developers - that we simply couldn't play them all. But below you'll find a sample of our ten favourites, ranging from shooters to platformers and puzzlers to atmospheric adventures.

Sierra will be making their own games too starting with Kings Quest which will be made by the studio The Odd Gentlemen. The game will be based off the point and click title and fully re-imagined by the studio.

James Brown finally got the biopic treatment this weekend with the release of Get On Up, starring Chadwick Boseman as The Godfather of Soul himself.
What’s most intriguing about the cinematic treatment of Brown’s life – both on- and off-screen – is that so much of it took place in front of a camera. In fact, Elvis Presley aside, it’s hard to think of a more physical performer that spent so much time being captured on film in the early days of the rock n’ roll/rhythm and blues era.
Brown’s popularity rose and sustained itself for so long that it’s often easy to forget that while he was a fixture well into his more funk-driven days of the 1970s alongside the likes of George Clinton, he got his start as a contemporary of Little Richard.

While the work can be grueling, there's definitely an upside to doing restoration work for Rick Dale of Rick's Restorations in Las Vegas -- and it's not just being on television. In this exclusive clip from the coming episode of "American Restoration" (airing Thurs. June 5 at 10:00 p.m. on History), funk legend George Clinton drops by with a 1923 Chickering quarter baby grand piano. It's water damaged from a flood, but it holds four decades worth of memories for Clinton, who wrote and recorded some of his most memorable songs on it. In this exclusive clip, he proves that a piano doesn't have to be in tune to bust out some P-Funk awesomeness. The show, which will air back-to-back half-hour episodes for six weeks, is just the beginning. Dale is bringing in some big jobs this season, including a knife throwing board from David Copperfield’s Museum of Conjuring Arts,...

To date the band has won seven Grammy Awards and sold over 80 million records across the world, after first gaining worldwide success with their 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and was inducted (along with several of their past members) into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2012.

Earlier: Sony/Atv Settles With Marvin Gaye's Family Thanks to an agreement between the parties, Bridgeport Music is no longer a defendant as of Wednesday. That means that the lawsuit won't be considering whether the Thicke hit is a copyright infringement of Funkadelic's "Sexy Ways." When Thicke and producers Pharrell Williams and Clifford Harris Jr. filed a preemptive lawsuit seeking declaratory relief last August, they suggested that threats were being made by the rights-holder of Funkadelic's songs.

Over 80 million records sold around the world and a catalogue of chart-topping hits don’t lie.
Since forming in Los Angeles in 1983, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have battled through band-departures, deaths, and a lot of drugs to become – universally speaking – one of the most enduringly popular acts in rock music. The news earlier this month that they will be playing this year’s Super Bowl halftime show places them alongside musical heavyweights such as The Who, Bruce Springsteen and, um, the Black Eyed Peas.
Not too shabby for a bunch of good-time boys that began life as Tony Flow And The Majestic Masters Of Mayhem almost 31 years ago.
