Bryan Cranstonhad a long and successful history with Sony. That deal, going back to at least the beginning of theBreaking Baddays, was extended after the award-winning show’s run, with Cranston signing on to a first-look deal with Sony Pictures Television back in 2013.

Over the weekend, at the Los Angeles Convention Center in downtown L.A., I got to attendStan Lee’s Comic-Con(called Comikaze). Unlike Comic-Con in San Diego, Stan Lee’s convention is geared towards indie dealers and less towards corporations. Now before you start to think I’m knocking SDCC, I’m not! I love Comic-Con. I love the way it mixes in artists, big corporations, TV networks and movie studios, along with indie dealers. It’s the only show in the country that has such an eclectic mix of dealers on the floor....

But Jennifer Check wasn’t the first of her kind on the scene....

Fellow sci-fi scribe,Arthur C. Clarke, once saidofFrank Herbert’sDune, “I know of nothing comparable to it exceptLord of the Rings.”J.R.R. Tolkienmay have recoiledat this remark if he ever heard it, but the two works have certainly had comparable impacts on their respective genres (even ifLord of the Ringspenetrated further into the wider culture). They are similarly epic in scope, both authors died before completing the final expansion of their worlds, and both had sons who took up the mantle....

Woo boy, 2019 is going to be a Drogon-sized year for the folks over at the Home Box Office, as clearly demonstrated by a new preview released by the premium network that offers glimpses of everything coming down the pipeline. There are numerous highlights, for sure, but the most noteworthy as always is some new footage fromGame of Thrones' eighth and final season.

If you find yourself asking why Russell’s role was so weird because you haven’t seen the film yet, turn back now....

One of the biggest developments inThe FlashSeason 4 was the introduction of Ralph Dibny, otherwise known as the Elongated Man. A fan favorite from theFlashcomics, his presence in the Arrowverse ended up being slightly more controversial. Although the character was generally entertaining thanks to actorHartley Sawyer’s deft physical comedy, he was often difficult to root for, or even like. Frequently rude, dismissive, and selfish, Ralph treated everyone on Team Flash terribly, particularly its women....
