Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later) plays theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the man known as the “father of the atomic bomb”, in writer/director Christopher Nolan‘s upcoming film Oppenheimer, which is set to reach theatres on July 21st.

Take a look at the landscape of popular network television and what do you see? A whole lotta supernatural, that’s what. If it’s not zombies being mowed down in The Walking Dead, or playfully reinvented in iZombie, there’s plenty of otherworldly characters tackling monsters in Supernatural, Penny Dreadful and Sleepy Hollow. Another supernatural subset are now making a return to the small screen in season 2 of Wgn America’s Salem.
Based around a gaggle of witches in 17th-century Salem, the show hails from 24‘s Brannon Braga and The Haunting in Connecticut‘s Adam Simon, who created and script the series. With a slew of episodes under its belt, Salem is now kicking up for its sophomore season, which bows in early April.

His name is synonymous with Hellboy, but for five issues this spring Mike Mignola will be stepping away from Hellboy to visit with one of the greatest monsters in history: Frankenstein. In Frankenstein Underground, a five issue mini-series from Dark Horse, the monster finds himself at an ancient temple in Mexico and endears to make a friend before things go (inevitably) wrong. Mignola chatted with us about his version of the monster and its relationship to the original novel, as well as his general creative process when writing for artist Ben Stenbeck. Plus, we couldn’t resist asking about Hellboy In Hell, just a little. And beer.
Famous Monsters. Frankenstein Underground is a new spinoff from the Hellboy graphic novel House Of The Livind Dead. What do you think it is about Mary Shelley’s creation that has made people develop so many iterations of him? People are always writing and talking about him.

Swedish horror Let The Right One In has already been subjected to the Hollywood treatment, but that’s not going to stop its exsanguination in favor of another remake. For this latest iteration, currently in development at A&E, the network has tapped Teen Wolf showrunner Jeff Davis and writer Brandon Boyce to revamp the movie a second time.
A&E snagged the rights from Hammer Films Productions – who produced the original movie based on John Ajvide Lindqvist’s best-selling novel – in a bidding frenzy. The network nearly lost out to Showtime, whose slate already boasts the genre-tastic Penny Dreadful. All’s fair in love and (bidding) war.
Like all other previous versions of the property, the series will revolve about a bullied teen boy who befriends a young girl – who turns out to be a century-old vampire unable to restrain her bloodlust.

Read More: Showtime Picks Up 'Happy-ish' for Spring Debut, Sets 'Penny Dreadful' Return Suffering from what a super-trendy Ellen Barkin diagnoses as a "low joy ceiling," Thom Payne (Steve Coogan) isn't even sure if he's happy, let alone "happyish." Yep, for poor Thom, it would seem that life is intersecting somewhere at the decidedly unpleasant medium between Prozac and Viagra, but that won't keep him from pursuing happiness (and flipping Thomas Jefferson the bird along the way). Showtime's newest half-hour comedy (from "This American Life" contributor Shalom Auslander) also stars Kathryn Hahn and Bradley Whitford. The trailer asks plenty of hard-hitting questions; from the soul searching, "What the f*** is happiness?" to the honestly flummoxing, "Who wants to follow Pepto-Bismol on Twitter?" Check out the trailer for more musings (and a few ab-related nuggets of wisdom). "Happyish" premieres Sunday,...

Wolf Hall concludes its superlative series with an episode that makes historical tragedy come alive...
This review contains spoilers.
1.6 Master Of Phantoms
A TV show that can make its audience feel every shaking, terrible moment of a death so muffled by historical wadding that it’s now more playground rhyme than human drama is something to cherish. And something to miss like a brother now that it’s gone.
Wolf Hall made Anne Boleyn’s beheading so rightly, wretchedly real that we could have been watching an online video of one of its horrendous modern day counterparts. With none of Debbie Wiseman’s delicately intuitive score to accompany Anne’s journey to the scaffold, deliberately, you could barely hear her final words over the sound of wind and flapping cloth. Director Peter Kosminsky positioned the audience as an onlooker in the crowd, complicit in an execution we all knew was coming,...

Cromwell’s position at court becomes more precarious by the minute in Wolf Hall's penultimate episode...
This review contains spoilers.

The jousting match at the centre of this episode wasn’t only a turning point in Henry’s reign, but as useful a metaphor for this combative time and place in history as you could want. Wolf Hall’s penultimate hour demonstrated how easily its political jousters could be unseated, and in particular how precariously positioned Cromwell was in the saddle.
He wasn’t the only one. Claire Foy continues to breathe sparking vitality into the role of Anne Boleyn, whose candle is soon to be snuffed out. How Foy manages to arouse sympathy for the furious, bitter and vengeful character Mantel and Straughan have put on the page is unknowable, but God, she does it. Blame witchcraft.

Crimson Peak is almost here, and damn, does it look good.
At FM we’ve been excited about this one since last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, where Legendary Pictures had set up a walk-through set teaser for the film. Actually, I’ve been looking forward to it since it was first announced, given Guillermo del Toro‘s involvement and a stellar cast that makes me weep with joy (Tom Hiddleston, anyone?). Now we have a trailer, and… yikes. Looks pretty terrifying.
I’m getting so many vibes here… Hammer Horror, Penny Dreadful, a dash of Sleepy Hollow and Sixth Sense. It’s been a while since I saw a ghost story that actually scared me. I can only hope this is the one that does it. Crossing my fingers (hoping to die).
The poster:
Hell yes.

1.4 The Devil’s Spit
Aptly for the story of a man who seldom wastes one, words were a preoccupation of this week’s Wolf Hall. Legal or sanctified, empty or dissembling, words could get you killed or save your skin in The Devil’s Spit. Say the wrong thing – as Lady Rochford very nearly did to elicit Cromwell’s warning, “careful” – and court danger. Refuse to say the ‘right’ thing – as Thomas More did with the oath naming Henry as supreme head of the Church – and lose your head.
“Words, just words” is what the young More told a teenage Cromwell when asked what he was reading (cheekily predating Hamlet’s almost identical response by a good seventy years). More wasn’t so dismissive when it came to...

Rules Of Engagement’s Adhir Kalyan will play a ‘quiet and brilliant internet billionaire’ in Fox’s Frankenstein series…
Right, here’s an interesting one - Adhir Kalyan, an expert in awkward/nervy comedy, is joining Fox’s Frankenstein TV series. Not to be confused with ITV’s The Frankenstein Chronicles (which also revealed some casting recently), or either of the two Frankenstein movies in production, this American telly version is a rather radical reimagining.
Fox’s Frankenstein will see Rand Ravich’s script borrow the basic elements of Mary Shelley’s iconic horror yarn and spin them in to something quite different. For starters, the protagonist is a ‘morally corrupt retired cop’ called Ray Pritchard, who is ‘given a second chance at life when he is brought back from the dead.’

The series, set to premiere April 26, stars Steve Coogan as Thom Payne, a 44-year old not quite ready for the new digital age his profession is suddenly thrown into. Kathryn Hahn plays his wife, Lee. The short teaser focuses largely on the counterproductive mix of Thom's erectial dysfunction pills and anti-depressants, it's hard (no pun intended) to not laugh at the banter between Thom and Lee here. "Happyish," created by "This American Life" contributor Shalom Auslander and directed by Ken Kwapis, is currently in production in New York. Check out the trailer below.

Freak Show's penultimate episode pays impressive visual homage to Tod Browning's classic horror movie, Freaks...
This review contains spoilers.
4.12 Show Stoppers
All season long, American Horror Story has been flirting with something. It took a dozen episodes, but it finally got around to actually putting out after a season-long tease. I'm not talking about a character death or something of that nature, I'm talking about Freaks. Tod Browning's classic, iconic horror movie is one of the most enduring films of its type in the film canon, and even though it's in black and white and the sound is odd, it's one of the most unsettling things ever displayed for the public thanks to one scene. The freaks, betrayed by someone they accepted, get revenge.
The freaks of Fraulein Elsa's Cabinet of Curiosities are also out for revenge. They, like director Loni Peristere and writer Jessica Sharzer, have the...

The final guild/industry group to declare nominees did so this afternoon as the Motion Picture Sound Editors (Mpse) spoke up with a roll call of players for the 62nd Golden Reel Awards. On the film side of things, "Birdman" and "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" had the best showing with three nominations each. I've been wondering if the latter could slide into Oscar play this year, but it's hard to gauge here, as "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" had a nice Mpse showing, too. In the effects/foley category, "Fury" is featured as well, also a strong possibility to pop up. All other expected players ("American Sniper," "Guardians of the Galaxy," "Unbroken," etc.) are featured. We'll see how the sound branch shakes it all out tomorrow but I'm a little more confused by where they'll end up going than usual, I must say. Check out...

Showtime is stepping up for their game for season 2 of Penny Dreadful. The show inspired by Dorian Grey, released their new trailer. The trailer shows a much darker and bloodier season ahead of us. It also paints the picture of how Vanessa will find herself being pulled down by those around her. This is not shocking per se as the writers made it clear that it would progress further. You can check out the trailer down below. The new season kicks off on April 26th.
The show should expect some not so happy feedback. The trailer has already caused some strong reactions and as we can expect more of these, it will likely only grow. Not everyone is a fan of gore and Showtime has made themselves also as too detailed on critical details that not everyone will love. They should have learned that by now with Weeds.

It's starting to look like the BAFTA line-up of visual effects nominees will be mirrored at the Oscars. While one would have thought "Godzilla" would be strong all year, it missed with the Brits and, today, was snubbed across an array of categories by the Visual Effects Society. Ouch, guys. Still, lots of great work this year. I was bummed that it was starting to look like "X-Men: Days of Future Past" would miss. But with BAFTA and three nods here today, it's looking good. It also did quite well at the bake-off last weekend. That Quicksilver/kitchen scene is doing the trick. "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," of course, led the way with five nominations total. While Weta's other big player, "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies," wasn't far behind with four. Check out the full list of nominees below. Winners will be announced on Feb.

There will be blood in the second season of Showtime's Penny Dreadful. Lots of it. In this latest trailer, one character uses blood to finger-paint on a floor while another bathes in a tub full of the bright red liquid, all while an extra-slow (and extra eerie) version of the folk song "An Unquiet Grave" plays in the background. Now's a good time to warn that the horror series, which features characters from real-life 19th century fiction including Dorian Gray and Frankenstein, isn't for the hemophobic.

Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie” was headed for a fiery ending — literally — at the conclusion of its seventh and final season, Executive Producer Clyde Phillips told reporters Monday at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in Pasadena.
“We were going to burn the hospital down,” Phillips revealed, after teasing that he and the writing staff completely changed their minds before the season began shooting.
“Nurse Jackie” is set in a New York City medical center.

Only one day after the Season 5 premiere and with no ratings to report, Showtime announced that "Shameless" has been renewed for a sixth season of 12 episodes. Production on "Shameless" Season 6 will begin later this year and, as usual, "Shameless" will return in early 2016. "The viewer loyalty and critical acclaim over the last five seasons has made 'Shameless' one of our signature series," blurbs Showtime Entertainment President David Nevins. "This incredible collection of writers and actors have created a show truly unique in the television landscape." "Shameless" is looking to build off the momentum of a fourth season that many feel was the show's best. In addition to making my Top 10 for the first time, "Shameless" swapped from Drama to Comedy Emmy fields and that switch has led to Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for William H. Macy, previously shut out for recognition. As you've perhaps read in other stories this afternoon,...

Showtime president David Nevins kicked off the cabler’s appearance at the Television Critics Association winter press tour announcing that the Steve Coogan-fronted comedy Happyish has been ordered to series.
Also, Shameless has been renewed for Season 6, on the heels of its Sunday premiere.
Happyish had been ordered to series a year ago, weeks before series lead Philip Seymour Hoffman’s passing. The show now stars Coogan as Thom Payne, a middle-aged man whose world is thrown into disarray when his 25-year-old “wunderkind” boss arrives full of “social” and “viral” ideas. Is Thom in need of a “rebranding” for the new generation?...

This hasn't been American Horror Story's strongest season. I'm a defender of the show; even when it's not making a lot of sense, or not the gripping spectacle it was in Asylum, I'm always on the side of its sense of fun and visual panache. Perhaps I'm just a sideshow rube, a mark taken in by the American Horror Story three-card Monte of weird sex, graphic gore, and hammy acting. I miss the flaws, or I ignore the flaws because I'm a sucker for a good con game, and Ryan Murphy is a consummate television con-man.

Netflix, HBO, AMC, and surprisingly CBS, are networks that are in the running for my most anticipated new television series debuts of 2015. Marvel welcomes a new masked hero and HBO is returning to the Wild West with one minor twist – Robots. In 2014 I named Penny Dreadful, Gotham, The Strain, Silicon Valley and Better Call Saul as my most anticipated new TV series of the year. The latter of which was of course delayed and subsequently placed once again on this list for 2015. While Gotham turned out to be my choice for worst TV show of 2014, I was pleasantly surprised with The Strain which landed on my top 10 TV shows overall for 2014. #5.

Ireland’s new tax breaks under “Section 481″ are aimed at luring Hollywood film and television productions overseas, Arts Minister Heather Humphreys announced on Thursday.
Under the new guidelines, which kicked in on Jan. 1, the definition of an “eligible individual” has been extended to include non-e.U. talent. Essentially, this inclusion is meant for those stars currently living in the Los Angeles area to find their way to the Emerald Isle.
“This will boost the attractiveness of Ireland as a destination for film investment, and brings us into line with the U.K., and other countries in Europe,” Humphreys said, according to The Irish Independent.
