The second season of Showtime‘s Your Honor has been pushed back a month, as the Bryan Cranston-starring legal thriller is now set to premiere on Sunday, January 15 at 9/8c. It was initially scheduled to premiere on streaming/on demand on December 9 and on linear December 11. According to Deadline, the reason for the change is so that the serialized drama can be aired without the interruption of the Christmas holidays. Developed by Peter Moffat (Undercover), Your Honor was adapted from the Israeli TV series Kvodo and was originally intended to be a limited series. However, the series was renewed for a second season with Joey Hartstone (The Good Fight) taking over as showrunner as Moffat exited due to personal reasons. The series, which became Showtime’s top-rated debut season ever, follows Michael Desiato (Cranston), a prominent New Orleans judge whose teenage son Adam (Hunter Doohan) kills another teenager in an accidental hit-and-run collision.

Bryan Cranston has revealed that the upcoming second season of the Showtime drama series Your Honor will be the last. Speaking on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast on Tuesday, July 5, Cranston said “I am [currently] preparing for the second and last season of Your Honor, which is a limited series that I did for Showtime. As they tell me, it got higher ratings than any other series they’ve ever had — and so, one more season of that.” Your Honor‘s first season, which was based on the Israeli series Kvodo created by Ron Ninio and Shlomo Mashiach, became Showtime’s most-watched debut season of all time. The show attracted a weekly viewership of 6.6 million. While originally intended as a limited series, the network renewed the show for a 10-episode sophomore season last year. According to Deadline, Season 1 writer Joey Hartstone has taken over as showrunner for Season 2, which has just started filming.

Showtime’s Your Honor will end after its upcoming season, series star Bryan Cranston said today in an interview on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast. Filming on Season 2 has just started, with Joey Hartstone, who was a writer on Season 1, as new showrunner, Deadline has learned. Additionally, I hear Keith Machekanyanga, who recurred heavily as Lil Mo in the first installment, has been promoted to series regular for Season 2.
Your Honor originated as a limited series but, following its breakout ratings success, it was renewed for a 10-episode second season last year. Peter Moffat, who served as writer, executive producer and showrunner of the first season, opted not to return because he lives in the UK and wanted to stay close to family. David Manson was then brought on as showrunner, he subsequently also left and was succeeded by Hartstone this past spring.

For about 35 years now, Rob Reiner has been a director. For the first decade and a half, he was among the best in the business. Recently? Not so much. That being said, we’re focusing on the good today. Since he’s releasing a new film in the next few days, it feels apt to look at his best work. So, that’s what I’m doing. A full ranking of all of his movies is on the way, with special attention paid to his top features. I would argue that half of his output is good to very good, with five or six legitimately great works on his resume. This week, Reiner puts out his 20th feature, this time another political offering. It’s Shock and Awe, his treatise on the lies of the Bush Administration, namely in terms of going to war with Iraq. As per IMDb:...

Chicago – The circumstances surrounding the John F. Kennedy assassination on November 22nd, 1963, put a man into the presidential spotlight who never thought he would get there… Lyndon Baines Johnson. The story of that strange time and the man who “would be king” is told in ‘Lbj.’
Rating: 4.5/5.0
Woody Harrelson portrays the title character in a surprising piece of casting, but he delivers Johnson so humanely and historically that by the end he is most appropriate for the role. Director Rob Reiner – working from a script by Joey Hartstone – structures the film through the filter of his fascination for Washington, D.C. shown in “A Few Good Men”… that justice can prevail if the right person is there at the right time. In his era, Johnson was rightly vilified in his escalation of the Vietnam War, but in other areas of legislation (the Civil Rights Act, Medicare, Medicaid, the anti-poverty Great...

As perhaps befits the title of the film, Alec Baldwin has surprised many by departing the Rob Reiner movie Shock And Awe, for which principal photography has already begun. The politically controversial project – which concerns the legality of the case for the 2003 Iraq war – is expected to move forward with Rob Reiner taking the supporting role that Baldwin was originally cast to play.
Written by Joey Hartstone (Lbj), Shock And Awe chronicles the efforts of a real group of journalists – led by Warren Strobel and Jonathan Landay – who were working for Knight Ridder newspapers in the build up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. In covering the story, the journalists began to question the veracity of the claims put forth by George W. Bush and his administration that Saddam Hussein was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction.
The cast includes James Marsden, Milla Jovovich, Jessica Biel, Woody Harrelson, Tommy Lee Jones, and Richard Schiff,...

There are several reasons why Rob Reiner might not seem like the right guy to direct a movie about Lbj. For one thing, the filmmaker has always been an outspoken liberal. For another, it’s hard to imagine that a man whose recent output includes “Flipped” and “The Bucket List” has any interest in making a movie about real people, let alone someone so famous. (We’ll grant him “Being Charlie,” the intensely personal drama he made about his son earlier this year.)
But the most pressing reason why Reiner doesn’t seem like a natural fit for the subject is that we live in a world where actual politics are starting to feel more like the movies with every passing day, and this may not the best time for someone with such cartoonish sensibilities to revisit the beltway. After all, the climactic speech that Michael Douglas delivered at the...

Tommy Lee Jones, Alec Baldwin and Milla Jovovich are in talks to join Woody Harrelson and James Marsden in Rob Reiner's Iraq War pic "Shock and Awe".
Joey Hartstone ("Lbj") penned the script which centers around a group of journalists who asked the tough questions about Saddam Hussein's alleged Wmd's which was the way the Bush administration sold the Iraq War to the American public in 2003.
A trio of reporters find themselves one of the only media sources running stories countering the prevailing narrative. In the end, Iraq is invaded and their reporting is proven true.
Reiner, Matthew George and Michele Reiner will produce with shooting to begin later this year.
