The summer movie season is in need of a hero. Can the director of "A Quiet Place" and the star of "Deadpool" come together to be those heroes? That's the question we're faced with the release of Paramount Pictures' "If," a new, original, family-friendly picture that promises a magical blend of CGI and live-action involving lots of imaginary friends. So, can Krasinski pivot from mid-budget horror to big-budget family films while maintaining the same level of success?
"If" is currently eyeing an opening in the $40 million range when it opens on May 17, per The Hollywood Reporter. Early tracking had the movie falling between $38 and $42 million, though some believe it can go as high as $50 million. That would be an unqualified win for an original movie of any kind right now. That is assuming that the film does, indeed, fall in line with those early expectations. For what it's worth, Box...

In spite of almost two decades having passed since the release of the first episode, The Office’s legacy still lives on in the hearts of its fans, who still discuss the sitcom’s hilarious characters and the hidden details giving much insight on them.
Among them there’s obviously the series’ most mysterious onscreen employee, whose charismatic nature makes the fandom love him a lot despite his relatively small screen time. You can already guess that we’re talking about Creed Bratton, the fictionalized version of the actor of the same name and Scranton’s most experienced worker.
Creed’s background is partially revealed by one-off liners delivered by him, but one scene brings more understanding of his past that can both amaze and horrify you.

Even though The Office ended its legendary run on NBC 11 years ago, the show remains one of the most renowned and hilarious TV Series. The sitcom show was based on the UK show of the same name, and it was solid enough to become a fan-favorite series when it first aired back in 2005. During the 9 seasons of the show, it created a massive fan following by featuring hilarious situations and how it can repeatedly be watched without the viewer ever getting bored.
The cast of The Office
Indeed, The Office occupies a special place in the sitcom genre. However, fans of the show would be stunned to know that a new series inspired by the 2005 show has been picked up by Peacock and it will not feature the original show’s stars, Steve Carell and John Krasinski.

If you had told me back in 2009 or so that one day the guy who played Jim on "The Office" was going to helm one of the most successful horror movie franchises of the 21st century, I would have first been very impressed to learn that time travel was real, then immediately questioned what sort of future you came from where this was a possibility. And yet, in 2018, John Krasinski did exactly that, joining forces with the creative duo of Bryan Woods and Scott Beck to deliver, "A Quiet Place."
Set in a world where mysterious creatures hunt by sound, forcing what's left of humanity to go silent, "A Quiet Place" is centered on a family fighting for survival. The film was a massive success at the box office, inspiring the sequel film "A Quiet Place Part II," which saw the family moving on without their father after he was killed in the previous film,...

Originally envisioned as a British mockumentary spin-off starring Ricky Gervais and co-created by Steven Knight, The Office soon became one of the most popular sitcoms in history. Television fans today know that The Office is one of the most popular sitcoms in history, and while both the British and American iterations are over, the franchise is far from being dead. We have recently reported that a spin-off series was in the works with Greg Daniels returning, but while information about the spin-off had been scarce at the time, we finally have some important updates about the plot of the spin-off, which is going to be set in the same universe.

A new version of The Office is coming to Peacock soon, and it's going straight into the heart of a dying medium: print journalism. We can feel the good vibes already!
Greg Daniels, who was behind the U.S. adaptation of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's UK original, is teaming up with Nathan for You co-creator Michael Koman on the new comedy, which is set in the same universe as NBC's The Office. Despite the implication, the show, which will stream on Peacock, won't be set in Pennsylvania once more. Apparently, by "same universe," what Daniels and Koman mean is the work lives of the documentary crew who spent a decade filming a bunch of workers in a regional office of a midsize paper company (and crushing on at least one of them). ...

Comedy is an industry largely dominated by men. And while many of those men are genuinely hilarious, several women are just as funny but far less lauded. Some have earned their rightful praise and lots of money, too.

American TV showrunners often take the ideas which originated across the ocean and make their own shows, adapting the scripts for the country’s audience. While some of such attempts turn out to be disappointing, there are a number of series which clearly surpassed the quality of the original British ones, with 5 of them being enlisted here.
1. The Office (2005-2013)
Presumably, this show comes first when we speak about these remakes. Originally created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the series’ concept eventually worked out with Steve Carell’s starring version.
There is no doubt that it became cultish for the audience all around the world, making its characters and catchphrases the most recognizable ones when we’re talking about sitcoms of such a kind.
2. Shameless (2011 - 2021)
The dramedy series, following the Gallaghers' unstable household ruled by a troublesome single father, was an adaptation of the British show of the same name too.

Just like Friends and The Office, Parks and Recreation is a show that we keep going back to. One rewatch is never enough now, is it? While the first season received mixed reviews from critics and was often compared to The Office, the series had a brilliant comeback starting from the second season. The show stars Adam Scott, Chris Pratt, Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, and more.
A still from Parks and Recreation (2009 – 2015)
The show ended in 2015 but the cast reunited for a special reunion episode in 2020 before closing the chapter for good. But that doesn’t mean fans cannot keep holding on to that thread of hope of seeing their favorite characters return, right? In a recent interview, Adam Scott gets candid about the possibility of gathering the cast for an actual Parks and Recreation reboot.

A former rock star turned junkie, who eventually became an activist for women’s safety in abusive relationships, Melanie Mackintosh in Apple TV’s Sugar is one of its most significant characters. As a fan of The Office, seeing the adorable Holly (Amy Ryan) play a layered and solid role is always delightful. Melanie is the ex-wife of Bernie Siegel and the last person who saw Olivia before she disappeared from the face of the earth.
Melanie is a woman who knew success from a young age and then fell off the tracks as she grew older. One can imagine that marrying Bernie Siegel definitely put some of her prime years to waste. Now Melanie finds herself an alcoholic who starts drooling when she sees Sugar for the first time. After a night of constant drinking, Melanie invites Sugar back to her house.

People in the entertainment industry seem to get into awkward and embarrassing situations all the time, especially after getting drunk at some major events and afterparties. And while we do know that the first name to have popped into your mind after reading this must have been Jennifer Lawrence’s, this one’s about someone else entirely: Robert Pattinson.

As it turns out, Pattinson once got drunk enough to get into a fight after midnight with none other than the iconic diva who made her way to becoming one of the top artists in the music industry from scratch, Adele. And, unsurprisingly enough, things didn’t really turn out all too well for the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire star, as he later admitted just how much he regretted that encounter.

The 2010s ushered in the golden age of television: the production of TV series became more expensive, scripts were on par with high quality feature films, and Hollywood actors forgot the cliché that "acting in TV is the end of a career."
At some point, there were even too many TV shows, and while some of them won the audience's love and achieved hit status, such as Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad, others went almost unnoticed.
It is generally accepted that the heyday of sitcoms remained somewhere in the 1990s and 2000s. But such successful shows as Schitt's Creek or, for example, Abbott Elementary prove the opposite. Unfortunately, not every good sitcom has found an audience due to the abundance of projects.
Such a fate befell Catastrophe, which was released in 2015 and received unconditional love from a narrow circle of fans. The sitcom currently has a 98% rating from critics...

Showrunners are the creative visionaries of a series.
They might not be the original creators, but they cover all aspects of the creative elements, evolve the show's vision, and decide where the story and character arcs will go.
They run the writing rooms, head the development, hire writers, and ensure actors are kept happy and that the budget is not exceeded.
Series are usually a collective effort, with writers giving their thoughts, but showrunners have the final say and are essential.
Where would the industry be without people like Shonda Rhimes, Matt and Ross Duffer (Stranger Things), and Ryan Murphy?
It would be mundane and repetitive.
Intelligent and prolific showrunners are the difference between a hit and a flop.
They set an unwavering tone for their ideas, and consistency is vital.

The post-event TV lead-out is a delicate thing. Whenever major television telecasts – like, say, the Super Bowl, the Olympics, or the premiere or finale of a super-high-rated reality show – end, something has to come on afterward, and most shows chosen for the coveted slot take the responsibility very seriously. Lead-out programming usually catches hundreds of thousands if not millions of extra eyes since watch parties all over the country get caught up chatting or celebrating and fail to change the channel. Or, better yet, they get hooked on the first few minutes of whatever show's in front of them.

Netflix’s new show Fiasco by Igor Gotesman is an absolute riot! It’s all about this filmmaker, Raphael Valande, trying to make a movie called “Woman of Resistance,” which is inspired by his grandma, Huguette Valande. And, oh boy, does it have more twists and turns than you could ever imagine? Picture The Office or Parks and Recreation, but in the chaotic world of filmmaking. So, Raphael, bless his heart, has about as much authority as a fluffy bunny. He’s super passionate but totally clueless about how to take charge on set as a director. But then, in a desperate attempt to be the boss, he goes overboard, and everything starts to spiral out of control faster than you can say “cut!” And then, bam! Someone sneaks out a video of Raphael completely losing it on set. I’m talking about everything from making cringeworthy, sexist comments to...

The 2005’s mockumentary sitcom show The Office is surely one of the best examples of chemistry formed among an absolutely random group of people whose personalities almost never match in anything.
Yet the strategy worked out in its best way bringing the television history’s best jokes to the screen — though not all of them actually made it to the series from the script pages.
Angela Kinsey, who portrayed Angela Martin throughout the whole show, has recently revealed that she didn’t feel like some of the jokes that she had to say were appropriate enough, so the actress was brave enough to intervene.
It’s fair to say that many of her character’s most explicit features were actually borrowed from Kinsey herself, but got pretty much exaggerated — like, for example, her religiousness or her unconditional love for cats.

For the second straight summer, the NBCUniversal service will increase its subscription prices.
Since its launch on July 15, 2020, NBCUniversal’s Peacock has slowly, but steadily built itself into a solid streaming service, in part, by keeping its prices low. Over the course of its nearly four years, it has only increased its subscription price once, when it raised its monthly rates $1 and $2 respectively in honor of its third anniversary last July. Now, it appears that NBCU is making something of an annual tradition of the practice as on Monday, the company announced that it would again be raising prices in July.
Key Details: For the second straight July, Peacock is set to increase its prices on both subscription tiers. Over the course of one year, the price for the service’s ad-supported tier will increase from $4.99 to $7.99 and its ad-free option from $9.99 to $13.99. The platform will also stream every single event from the 2024 Paris Olympics,...

Starring “3o Coins’” Miguel Angel Silvestre and “The Palace’s” Katia Fellin, “Weiss & Morales” has gone into production in the Canary Islands, boasting the credentials of a textbook procedural appealing to current market appetites.
As co-production ramps up between free-to-air players in Europe, led very often by its state-backed networks, “Weiss & Morales” links two of the continents’ most powerful public broadcasters, Germany’s Zdf and Spain’s Rtve, which produce with Zdf Studios. The latter is also handling worldwide sales outside Spanish-speaking territories.
Also producing are Galicia-based Portocabo, which in the space of 10 years has pioneered co-productions between Spain’s Galicia and Portugal (“Dry Water”) and Spain and France (“Hierro), and Nadcon whose head, Peter Nadermann co-produced iconic Nordic Noir titles “The Killing” and “The Bridge” when at Zdf.

The Office is notorious for using cringe for the good, which results in extremely hilarious conversations. However, this mockumentary sitcom sometimes doesn’t know the limits where it can be cringe enough not to be funny, but rather excruciating even for the most loyal fans.
In particular, there is one infamous episode, which takes humiliation humor to a whole other level, and that’s why it’s hated by a certain part of the fandom and even called the most disturbing moment of the series, impossible to rewatch.
It starts by stating that long ago Steve Carell’s Michael Scott promised several students to pay their full college tuition, thinking he’d be a millionaire by that time. However, it turned out to be an empty promise, so he goes to the school to confess he won’t do it.
There he faces grateful students who thank their generous sponsor,...

Angela Kinsey felt certain jokes about her Christian faith in The Office were wrong, and she spoke up about them, she said on a recent podcast.
Kinsey, who played Angela Martin on the show, talked about her Christian faith with former co-star Rainn Wilson on the April 23 episode of his podcast, Soul Boom.
Wilson, who played Dwight on the show, asked Kinsey about playing an “uptight Christian” when she was raised having a “very warm, meaningful relationship” with her faith and the church.
“Did that ever bump up against you in any way?” he asked.
Kinsey said there were jokes written for her character that she felt pigeonholed Christians and didn’t really reflect their views.
She cited one episode in the third season, in which her character was given a line she felt was “super judge-y” against Oscar, a gay character on the show.

Over the course of nine seasons of The Office, Dwight Schrute, who at first seems like the most stable character, goes through one of the show's most interesting character development arcs. From a cynical and frankly unpleasant corporate worker, and a clearly over-the-top character, he becomes a very peculiar, yet humane and not at all negative hero.
And his romance with Angela – originally used as a comedic parallel to Jim and Pam's "serious" arc – eventually became as important to the show as the love story between the two main characters. In fact, this romantic storyline was so popular with fans that the show's creators decided to use it to wrap up The Office.
But no matter how much the audience loved Angela and Dwight's duet, one inconsistency in their story haunted many.

In spite of almost two decades having passed since the release of the first episode, The Office’s legacy still lives on in fans’ hearts. Millions of them constantly recall the favorite sitcom’s cultish moments and catchphrases, doing parodies and allusions.
Pranks have always been one of the most remarkable aspects of the show, with many of them being repeated around the world. These obviously include Jim Halpert’s pranks on Dwight Schrute, the office’s main fighter for justice and pain in the neck.
It resulted in Dwight's actor, Rainn Wilson, often getting pranked in real life too, during the public events and reunions he visits. However, some of Jim's antics follow him even when he doesn’t expect it, and he has recently seen another joke made on him.
During a trip to Florence, Italy, the actor ordered room service and was surprised to find his cutlery encased in red Jell-o.
