    TELLTALE, NIGHT SCHOOL STUDIO, UCP & NBCUNIVERSAL BRAND DEVELOPMENT, DEBUT NEW GAME BASED ON USA NETWORK’S GOLDEN GLOBE®-WINNING SERIES “MR. ROBOT”

    Launch Video / Developer Interview: https://youtu.be/6UOni7pBKJI Join the revolution and take down E Corp through the immersive, story-driven, extended narrative of Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltratiOn – Now Available on iOS and Android

    SAN RAFAEL and LOS ANGELES, Calif. – August 17, 2016 – Leading and award-winning developer and publisher of digital entertainment Telltale Games, in association with NBCUniversal Brand Development, today released Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltratiOn for iOS and Android-based mobile devices. The game was developed by the acclaimed independent team at Night School Studio in collaboration with the creative team behind Universal Cable Productions (UCP) and USA Network’s Emmy®-nominated series MR. ROBOT.

    Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltratiOn extends the narrative experience of the award-winning TV series, allowing players to become personally intertwined with the characters of the underground hacker group, fsociety. Players will be using the mysterious new E Corp Messaging App over the course of a week, playing in real time, and carefully communicating with its members as they race to recover data that is critical to their goals of hacking the multinational company Evil Corp.

    “We’re some of the biggest fans in the world of what Sam Esmail and the teams at Universal Cable Productions and USA have created with this series,” said Sean Krankel, co-founder of Night School Studio. “Working hand in hand with Sam, series writer Kor Adana and UCP, we’ve created an opportunity for players to meaningfully interact with characters like Elliot (Rami Malek), Darlene (Carly Chaikin) and Cisco (Michael Drayer), truly feeling like they’re joining the hack at a critical moment in the TV series. As fans, it’s nothing short of a dream come true for us.”

    “Ever since MR. ROBOT burst onto the scene, fans have been looking for new ways to immerse themselves more deeply into its story and overall experience,” said Richard Rothstein, Executive Vice President, Current Programming, Universal Cable Productions. “This game does just that, giving players a chance to interact with the series characters on a journey only possible in the world of MR. ROBOT.”

    “Night School Studio is one of the most promising small developers in the industry, and seeing Telltale alumnus and writer Adam Hines writing alongside the team at UCP and USA on an interactive story with our partners at NBCUniversal makes us proud to present this to MR. ROBOT and Telltale fans everywhere,” said Steve Allison, SVP, Publishing at Telltale Games. “There’s a distinct Telltale style to all of the character interactions that our fans will find familiar, and fans of the show will be engrossed all through the night as they race to help fsociety pull off the unthinkable.”

    MR. ROBOT follows Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek), a cyber-security engineer who becomes involved in the underground hacker group fsociety, after being recruited by their mysterious leader (Christian Slater). Following the events of fsociety’s five/nine hack on multi-national company Evil Corp, the second season explores the consequences of that attack as well as the illusion of control.

    Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltratiOn is available now for $2.99 USD or equivalent on the iOS App Store and the Google Play store for compatible Android-based devices. Fans can follow @ECorpMessaging on twitter for updates on the game, or visit telltale.com/publishing/mr-robot for more information.

  • 20:20 - Participant Media's Pivot TV Network - Going Off The Air
    Thanks to johnhelvete for the heads up.

    There's about to be another vacancy on the dial.

    Pivot, the three-year-old TV network from Participant Media, is shutting down. The network, which tried to court a millennial audience with shows from the likes of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Meghan McCain, has only been on the air since 2013.

    Participant's decision to pull the plug on the show comes after the media company tapped a new CEO (David Linde) in late 2015. The network was initially quite ambitious with original programming, under president Evan Shapiro, but the 2014 executive shuffle that saw Kent Rees named general manager was followed by an increased reliance on acquisitions.

    The channel will go dark sometime before the end of 2016.

    Pivot initially took over the cable real estate occupied by the Documentary Channel and Halogen TV. The decision to shutter without a buyer in place is not uncommon in the increasingly dire cable landscape. The top of 2016 saw upstart Al Jazeera America, which took the place of Pivot's millennial-focused predecessor CurrentTV, go dark without anything lined up to replace it.

    Cable may not have worked for Participant, but the company has thrived in other television arenas with original series. Its film slate also includes the upcoming Mark Wahlberg feature Deep Water Horizon.

  • 03:45 - Pokemon - Live-Action Movie in Negotiations to be Written by Nicole Perlman and Alex Hirsch
    Nicole Perlman and Alex Hirsch are in negotiations to write the live-action “Pokemon” pic for Legendary based on the upcoming game “Detective Pikachu.”

    The news comes following the announcement that the company landed the rights to the “Pokemon” franchise after they were shopped around in early July. That deal came two weeks after the Pokemon Go app was released and became a worldwide phenomenon, so much so that it led to a 25% jump in the stock of part-owner Nintendo. The augmented reality game allows players to capture, battle and train the Pokemon virtual creatures.

    The hugely popular Pokemon Go app recently saw the pocket monsters surge back into the pop culture consciousnesses. Pokemon was introduced in Japan in 1996 and has sold 279 million video games worldwide with 21.5 billion cards shipped to 74 countries, and an animated series spanning 19 seasons.

    Universal Pictures will handle distribution of the live-action film outside of Japan as it has done with Legendary’s other films for years.

    Perlman cut her teeth in Marvel’s writers’ room, penning such comic-book hits such as “Thor” and “Guardians of the Galaxy.” Marvel has now tasked her with penning the “Captain Marvel” film with “Inside Out” scribe Meg LeFauve, as well as helping to develop the third “Sherlock Holmes” movie with Team Downey.

    Keira Knightley will star as the Sugar Plum Fairy in Disney’s retelling of “The Nutcracker.”

    Mackenzie Foy is on board to play Clara, with Misty Copeland and Morgan Freeman also attached to the movie.

    Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov turned Alexandre Dumas’ adaptation of the classic story into the “The Nutcracker” ballet in 1892.

    Lasse Hallström will direct the upcoming film from Ashleigh Powell’s script. Mark Gordon is producing, while Lindy Goldstein is executive producing. Sam Dickerman and Allison Erlikhman are overseeing the project for Disney. Sara Smith is working on behalf of the Mark Gordon Company.

  • 19:20 - MOVIES: The Little Mermaid - Disney’s Live Action Adaptation adds Lin-Manuel Miranda & Alan Menken to Write Music
    EXCLUSIVE: Disney is pairing Hamilton‘s Lin-Manuel Miranda with iconic songwriter Alan Menken for a live action feature adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson’s The Little Mermaid. Miranda and Menken will write the music together. Marc Platt will produce the film along with Miranda, in a configuration just set by Sean Bailey, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production. Deadline revealed in May that Disney was figuring out a way to add the classic title to a slate of films based on the studio’s animated films. This one is being orchestrated as a mix of pre-existing songs from the 1989 Disney animated classic movie, for which Menken won two Oscars, sharing Best Song with Howard Ashman, and winning Best Score on his own. Menken has eight Oscars in his storied career.

    While Miranda has become all the rage since his record breaking Broadway show Hamilton became the hottest ticket and won 11 Tony Awards, he has a soft spot for The Little Mermaid, even naming his newborn son Sebastian, after the crab in the musical. They are still working out a lot of details, including the level of Miranda’s involvement. At this point, he isn’t writing the script, but he will supervise the story and the studio will hire a writer shortly. This extends Miranda’s relationship with Disney, where he is starring with Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep and Ben Whishaw in a live action adaptation of Mary Poppins to be directed by Rob Marshall. That film is being produced by Platt, who is also readying the long awaited adaptation of the hit musical Wicked at Universal. Miranda also worked on the upcoming Disney animated feature Moana, which bows November 23.

  • 22:00 - Arrow - Season 5 - Chad L. Coleman Discusses His Character
    Thanks to Iamgreenarrow for the heads up.
    The obvious question: What can you tell us about Tobias Church, your new recurring character on Arrow?

    Coleman: Tobias Church is a badass who likes to throw his intelligence and sarcasm around. Depending on your IQ and ability to negotiate on that playground will decide your fate, which involves brass knuckles! (laughs)

    This seems to be an original creation for the TV series, so what types of characters (comic-based or otherwise) are you looking to for inspiration?

    Coleman: He wants to be King of the Underworld and take out Arrow. He's on a mission. I told producers he's like Jay Z, Dr. Dre, and Suge Knight all rolled into one!

    Your character has been described as an imposing gangster looking to consolidate power, so how do you think he'll fit into the dynamic on Arrow?

    Coleman: He’s a great addition to the show because he brings that street edge that we all know and love.

    Sony has titled Bad Boys 3 as Bad Boys For Life, EW confirmed. The name change comes with the project moving closer to reality with a Jan. 12, 2018 release in mind, a source tells EW.

    The new title is a fitting throwback to 2003’s Bad Boys II where star Will Smith tells his cop partner Martin Lawrence, “We ride together, we die together. Bad boys for life.” (See the clip, below.) The two will reprise the roles they debuted in 1995’s Bad Boys — Michael Bay directed that movie and the sequel. The Grey’s Joe Carnahan is in the director’s chair for Bad Boys For Life, not Bay.

  • 03:45 - Mr. Robot - Rumor - Something In Development With Telltale Games
    While I’ve yet to catch up with Season 2 yet, Mr. Robot is a great show, and if you’ve not jumped in yet, there is a reason it’s being talked about everywhere.

    Something strange is happening regarding the series though. Telltale Games have started to share this teaser across Twitter and Facebook. It’s for an app set in the show’s universe revolving around fictional company ECorp, that will be available August 17th.



    Now, the question is, why are Telltale sharing all this? One possible explination is that they are the creators of the app (although that would be a pretty new direction for the developer). The other posibillity is that we could be getting a Telltale Mr. Robot game and this is Telltale’s first steps with the show. The latter option is quite exciting.

  • 23:40 - MOVIES: World War Z Sequel - David Fincher in Talks to Direct Movie
    The sequel to zombie apocalypse thriller World War Z may yet come back to life.

    The project recently lost director J.A. Bayona and for all intents and purposes looked like it was going to die on the vine.

    But producer Brad Pitt is looking to his Seven and Fight Club director David Fincher to potentially come in and rescue it.

    Pitt, Paramount and Skydance have had meetings with Fincher to direct the sequel, according to several sources.

    It is unclear if a deal with take but Fincher is surprisingly open to the idea. The picky auteur tends to eschew the tentpole and sequel game, preferring to focus on original material or adaptation of elevated material, mostly of the gritty and grounded variety.

    But Fincher also has plenty of room on his schedule. The filmmaker has been spending time in TV land (he was a key player in House of Cards) but he had two HBO series fall apart: Living on Video, about the early 1980s music video scene, and Utopia, which was to have starred Rooney Mara.

  • 04:30 - MOVIES: Friday the 13th - Breck Eisner In Talks To Direct Reboot
    Breck Eisner is in talks to direct the feature reboot of the beloved horror franchise Friday the 13th which is being brought back to life at Paramount Pictures, a studio that has had some great success re-imagining franchises such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As with Turtles, Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes will be producing the project. The film is expected to be released sometime next year.

    What’s interesting about this is that Eisner’s father Michael ran Paramount during the days when the Friday the 13th rights were acquired. Since then, it has become probably one of the most well-known horror franchises in film history and very lucrative. The rights were originally acquired for producer Frank Mancuso, Jr. who also launched a television series back in the 1980s.

    Over the past 36 years, the Friday the 13th IP would go on to spawn a number of films and television programs. Writer/director David Bruckner had been previously attached to helm the film at Paramount. The last writer was Nick Antosca (Hannibal [writer on the TV series], Channel Zero). That incarnation, however, fell apart after Adam Goodman exited his executive post at the studio.

    Eisner’s other credits include The Crazies, Sahara and The Last Witch Hunter. The new Friday the 13th project is being produced by Platinum Dunes’ Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form.
