William Sadler, Happy Anderson, Adia Gill Join Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Full Circle’ HBO Max Limited Series

Following the breaking news that James Gunn and Peter Safran have been tapped to oversee the newly branded DC Studios, the good DC news keeps coming. Director/producer Matt Reeves’ corner of the DC Universe—“The Batman”—is still expanding and multiple HBO Max shows, such as Colin Farrell’s “Penguin,” are already in the works.

EXCLUSIVE: Christine Holder and Mark Holder are no longer executive producers of the new CBS drama series East New York, from Warner Bros Television.

While critics croon over “Kimi” and anticipate his upcoming series “Full Circle,” it’s easy to forget that Steve Soderbergh has another project coming out soon: “Magic Mike’s Last Dance.” But when word got out last month that “Last Dance” wouldn’t go straight to HBO Max but instead hit theaters on Valentine’s Day Weekend 2023, some of us couldn’t help but weep tears of joy.

Warner Bros. today unveiled a first-look photo for its third and final Magic Mike film, Magic Mike’s Last Dance, reuniting Channing Tatum with director Steven Soderbergh.

Sure, Warner Bros. Discovery is cleaning house and canceling a number of TV shows and streaming films coming to HBO Max.

For all the discussion on social media about how Warner Bros. Discovery is canceling films and series and cutting a lot of jobs, in an attempt to bring down costs and reduce debt, a new trailer for the upcoming content coming to HBO and HBO Max proves the studio still has a number of high-profile projects arriving on screens in the next year.  READ MORE: ‘Batgirl’: Star Leslie Grace Leaks Brief Clip Of Footage From The Scrapped Movie On TikTok Every once in a while, HBO decides to release a new trailer showcasing the big projects coming down the pipeline over the next year or so.

“Dune: Part Two” doesn’t hit theaters until November 3, 2023, but thanks to the box-office success of “Dune” last year, Legendary Pictures knows they have a hit on their hands. And that makes them confident enough to move ahead with their “Dune” series on the small screen with HBO Max.

Gregg Goldstein No one ever said filming in New York City was easy, especially during a pandemic. Just ask the showrunners behind Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” or the producer of Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming HBO Max limited series “Full Circle.” “We had an incident yesterday on our set in Queens: a crazy person grabbed a grip by the hair and was trying to take a swing at her. Thank God she got away and he ran off,” “Circle” producer Jonathan Filley said in late September. “And we just had a car rear-end another car, which ran into our electric truck. … There’s a lot of mental instability in the city these days.” This wouldn’t be a shock to “Maisel” creator Amy Sherman-Palladino or her fellow showrunner, Daniel Palladino. who had a hazardous Washington Square Park shoot in spring 2021. “There had been a lot of anti-police protests, and weirdos were encroaching on our set,” Palladino says. “There were no police, and we finally bolted. We had our own security, but there was a group of film students who were keeping an eye on us.” (“And our purses!” Sherman-Palladino chimes in.) “They were chasing some people off, and we realized our de facto security was a bunch of 18-year-olds at NYU.”

Connecticut's Democratic state attorney general announced plans Tuesday to appoint a new special counsel for reproductive rights, someone he said would be part of a "firewall" to protect the state's abortion rights laws. Attorney General William Tong said the special counsel, part of his office's new civil rights division, will represent the state's interests in "any court" by taking a leadership role in multi-state amicus briefs filed in abortion cases and be the first to legally challenge efforts to pass a national abortion ban.Tong said he expects there will eventually be more staff for the yet-to-be hired special counsel.

Crossword-Solver reviewed almost 3,000 movie scripts to find the actors that have dropped the most F-bombs in their careers, as well as the old favorites “sh–” and “hell.”Starting with the F-word, Newark-born Joe Pesci has dropped the explicative 272 times in all of his movies – more than any other actor.While the actor was infamous for his F-word rant in “Goodfellas” as gangster Tommy DeVito — “You said I’m funny. How the f – – k am I funny, what the f – – k is so funny about me?” — it’s actually not his most cuss-laden movie.

Television has dramatically evolved over the last ten-twenty years as it’s become the destination for adult stories, mid-budgeted dramas, and the filmmakers that have migrated across the threshold to tell those stories. With all that in mind, HBO is putting together two new series that star “Mare of Easttown” actress Kate Winslet with “The Palace” and “The Trust.” Certainly, this highlights HBO’s commitment to continue working with the Emmy-winning actress for the foreseeable future (also perhaps a sign that a “Mare Of Easttown” sequel isn’t coming anytime soon, but the two parties want to continue working together).

HBO has yet to officially announce a season five of Westworld, but Jonathan Nolan seemed to appear hopeful at New York Comic Con that he’ll get the series finale that he thinks the drama deserves.

Matthias Schoenaerts has been cast opposite Kate Winslet in HBO’s limited series The Palace, from Succession duo Will Tracy and Frank Rich and The Queen director Stephen Frears.
