NEWS - Clamoroso al Cibalesbo! Arriva la serie su "Batwoman" con la protagonista eroina dei diritti LGBTQ (firmano il papà dell'Arrowverse e la lesbica dichiarata Caroline Dries, già dietro le quinte di "TVD")

News tratta da Deadline

Batwoman is already scheduled to visit the Arrowverse for the annual crossover event in December; she may now become a permanent member of it, expanding the universe and breaking some TV ground in the process. The CW has put in development a Batwoman series for 2019 consideration. It hails from former The Vampire Diaries executive producer Caroline Dries and the architect of the CW Arrowverse, Greg Berlanti. In Batwoman, written by Dries based on the DC characters, armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope. Batwoman already has been a trailblazer for LGBTQ+ representation in comics. After a long hiatus, she was reintroduced to the DC comic universe in 2006 when she was established as a Jewish lesbian, becoming the first-ever lesbian superhero title DC character. Now Batwoman would become the first gay lead character — male or female — of a live-action superhero series. (DC, Berlanti and Warner Bros. Animation previously collaborated on the first animated show with a gay lead, Freedom Fighters: The Ray on CW Seed). Batwoman would join Arrowverse, which features a number of LGBT characters, including Arrow‘s Curtis Holt, The Flash‘s Captain Singh, Legends‘ Sara Lance and Supergirl‘s  Alex Danvers. Batwoman comes from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television where the company recently extended its overall deal. Dries, who is lesbian, executive produces alongside Berlanti Prods.’ Berlanti and Sarah Schechter as well as former DC Entertainment president Geoff Johns (The Flash) via his new Mad Ghost Productions banner. Johns also has been producing the long-gestating Batgirl DC feature at Warner Bros., which switched writers this past spring. Casting is about to begin for an actress — likely lesbian — to play Batwoman in the DC crossover event in December. If Batwoman goes to pilot, the same actress will play the central character in it. Dries does not work on a CW DC series but is expected to be involved in some consulting capacity when the character of Batwoman is crafted for the crossover, which spans Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl. (It is unclear yet which of the series would introduce her.) It was Arrow star Stephen Amell, along with the CW president Mark Pedowitz, who announced at the CW presentation in May that this year’s crossover event will feature Batwoman. “This is the first time ever that Batwoman will make a live-action appearance on any screen,” Pedowitz said, adding that, along with Batwoman, the City of Gotham also will be added to the ever-expanding Arrowverse. With Batwoman, the CW is following the strategy it used for The Flash, whose central character was introduced in a two-episode arc on Arrow in December 2013. While originally the network had planned a third Arrow episode later that season to serve as The Flash backdoor pilot, it ultimately opted for a standalone Flash pilot, which launched the series the following fall. Dries has superhero credentials — she started her writing career on the CW/WBTV Smallville before a seven-season run on The Vampire Diaries, on which she rose to executive producer and showrunner. The character Batwoman began appearing in DC Comics stories beginning with Detective Comics #233 in 1956, in which she was introduced as a love interest for Batman. On TV, Batwoman first appeared in animated series Batman: The Brave and the Bold, which premiered on Cartoon Network in 2008. On film, Batwoman appeared in Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, voiced by Kyra Sedgwick, a 2002 direct-to-video animated film based on animated series The New Batman Adventures. Batwoman also made a cameo in direct-to-video superhero film Batman vs. Robin and appeared in 2016’s Batman: Bad Blood, voiced by Yvonne Strahovski.

NEWS - We can be all SuperHeroes, just for one cover! 

Articolo e cover tratti da "Entertainment Weekly"
On an early October afternoon, the casts of The CW’s “Arrowverse” serials gathered in an airport hangar on the outskirts of Vancouver B.C. for a historic event. From Arrow, there was Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen, aka the show’s emerald archer), David Ramsey (Diggle/Spartan), Willa Holland (Thea Queen/Speedy) and Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity Smoak). From The Flash, there was Grant Gustin (Barry Allen, aka the show’s scarlet speedster), Candice Patton (Iris West), Tom Cavanagh (H.R. Wells), Danielle Panabaker (Dr. Caitlin Snow) and Carlos Valdes (Cisco/Vibe). From Legends of Tomorrow, there was Brandon Routh (Ray Palmer/The Atom), Caity Lotz (Sara Lance/White Canary), Dominic Purcell (Mick Rory/Heat Wave), Franz Drameh (Jax, one half of Firestorm), Victor Garber (Dr. Martin Stein, the other half of Firestorm). And from Supergirl, there was the maiden of might herself, Melissa Benoist, the only actor dressed in their caped crusader colors. (Must be dry cleaning day at the Hall of Justice).

Calling this unprecedented all-star squadron of comic book stars to order, director Dermott Downs instructed them to perform a very important heroic duty: Surprising Benoist with a “Happy Birthday” serenade. “That was overwhelming,” says the actress, who turned 28 on the day in question. “I think that will be the first and only time I will be sung to by a group of superheroes.” Of course, Benoist and all of her Super-Friends had to actually work on her birthday; not even the girl of steel gets a day off for turning another year older. The occasion of this massive team-up: filming a four-show crossover event, which begins in the final scene of the Nov. 28 episode of Supergirl and unfolds over the next three nights in episodes of The Flash, Arrow and Legends. Entertainment Weekly visited the set of the massive undertaking and brings you a report in our new issue, on sale this week. We got to see Supergirl fly, The Flash and Cisco tear a hole in the fabric of space-time (or pretend to), and even saw someone get shot. No, we can’t tell you who, but we can tell you the threat that set the sprawling plot in motion: The Dominators, mind-controlling extraterrestrials threatened by Earth’s surging population of metahumans. If you’re wondering if “mind-control” = “we’re totally going to see these superheroes fight each other,” then you’re absolutely [REDACTED].

The “Arrowverse” has an alternate moniker, the “Berlantiverse,” named after the super-producer who presides over it, and he has some feelings about the term. “I object to it, to be honest. There are just so many people that are also part of this,” says Greg Berlanti, 44, whose prodigious, eclectic output began with Everwood in 2002 and currently includes Blindspot on NBC. “Plus, you never want anything named after you that people could be upset or angry about.” Produced in collaboration with Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg, Berlanti’s small screen treatment of Warner Bros.’ DC Comics properties offers an alternative – some might argue correction – the studio’s big screen superhero pop, including the apocalyptic heavy metal of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel flicks and the bubblegum nihilism of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. The Arrowverse actually likes superheroes, believes in superheroes, and knows how to have fun with them – and critique them – without deconstructing them to smithereens. They possess the levity of Marvel’s cinematic universe (still the genre’s gold standard), and the progressiveness of Marvel’s best TV offerings (Jessica Jones, Luke Cage), but with a more carefree embrace of melodrama and whimsy.

“These shows have to work on multiple levels,” says Berlanti. “You want them to be fun and enjoyable. But if they’re not about something, why are you showing up to work every day and asking everybody to pour their heart and soul into a story if it’s only about the Flash fighting a villain of the week?”

NEWS - Calamity Cassidy! L'attrice sarà in tutti i serial super-eroici CW (10 foto per capirne il motivo)

News tratta da "TvLine" 
Katie Cassidy is the latest Berlantiverse actor to ink one of those cool new deals, by which she is now a series regular across multiple CW superhero shows — namely The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and her original stomping grounds, Arrow (on which she will appear in the Season 5 premiere). Wentworth Miller, who transitioned from The Flash to Legends (for a one-season stint), was the first actor to sign such a grounbreaking pact; Arrow vet John Barrowman followed, earlier last month. Both Miller and Barrowman, it has since been announced, will play key roles in Season 2 of Legends, as Captain Cold, Malcolm Merlyn, along with Reverse-Flash (played by The Flash‘s Matt Letscher) and Damien Darhk (Arrow‘s Neal McDonough), form the Legion of Doom. Shortly after Cassidy’s Laurel Lance was killed off of Arrow this past spring, Cassidy popped up on sister series The Flash, as Miss Lance’s Earth-Two doppelganger, the minxy metahuman Black Siren.

GOSSIP - Stephanie Corneliussen, la top model più desiderata dalla tv Usa, da "Mr. Robot" a "Legends of Tomorrow"

Segnatevi questo nome (e soprattutto il cognome, che essendo di orgini nordiche, ispira già alla pronuncia bellezza da tutti i pori): Stephanie Corneliussen. E’ attualmente l’attrice con passato (e presente) da modella più inseguita dal piccolo schermo a “stelle e strisce”. E’ di pochi giorni fa la notizia che l’attrice-modella danese – è di Copenhagen – è stata promossa a presenza fissa nella 2° stagione di “Mr. Robot” (la 1° inedita in anteprima su Premium Stories ogni giovedì o su Premium Play ad libitum), dopo essere apparsa in 7 puntate su 10 nella prima stagione. E non è tutto: gli americani la fermano per strada anche per la sua interpretazione di Valentina Vostok in “Legends of Tomorrow” (in arrivo su Premium Action in anteprima assoluta), anche conosciuta col nome da super-eroina di Negative Woman, un ex tenente russa che acquisisce super-poteri “per caso”.Corneliussen ha ottenuto una laurea in grafica e design – oltre che essersi diplomata in balletto in patria – prima del suo trasferimento a Los Angeles avvenuto nel 2011. Dopo aver posato per “GQ”, “Vogue” e pure “Playboy”, dopo essere stata testimonial di campagne per Armani, Lexus

e Nikon, la nostrasi è fatta notare in alcuni momenti di “American Horror Story” e nel film tv della HBO “Hello Ladies”, nominato agli Emmy Awards. Quelli in “Mr. Robot” e “Legends of Tomorrow” sono i suoi primi ruoli da protagonista ricorrente. Ma la domanda sorge spontanea anche per una super(modella)eroina come lei: riuscirà a gestire l’impegno di due set contemporanei?

NEWS - F*CK the difference! Se "Mr. Robot" (e "Bosch") riducono il gap tra Premium e Sky... 

(ANSA) - L'attualita' del cyberterrorismo e un giallo di lusso debuttano su Mediaset Premium: sono state presentate oggi a Milano due delle serie americane piu' attese dell'anno, il thriller 'Bosch' ideato dallo scrittore Michael Connelly (dal 24 febbraio ogni mercoledi' sera su Premium Crime) e la pluripremiata 'Mr. Robot' (dal 3 marzo ogni giovedi' su Premium Stories). Soprattutto su quest'ultima l'attesa e' grande: creata da un nome nuovo di Hollywood come Sam Esmail, 'Mr. Robot' non soltanto riproduce con realismo le dinamiche della cybersecurity, ma soprattutto tocca temi di attualita' pungente. Il protagonista, interpretato da Rami Malek, e' un esperto di sicurezza informatica afflitto da disfunzionalita' psicologiche che lo rendono alienato: eppure, come un supereroe del nuovo millennio, si lancia in crociate personali a colpi di hacking, che vivranno un'escalation dopo l'incontro con la figura paterna di Christian Slater (premiato quest'anno con un Golden Globe per questa interpretazione). Da qui partira' la guerriglia digitale con lo pseudonimo di Mr. Robot, che sullo sfondo richiama vicende come quelle di Anonymous e Occupy Wall Street, la lotta dei nuovi ribelli digitali contro l'1%, e sul finale svelera' un risvolto psicologico profondo. Fra i premi assegnati alla serie come miglior drama del 2015 si contano un Golden Globe e un Critics' Choice, un consenso unanime immediato che ha convinto il network Usa a confermare la serie per una seconda stagione. "Siamo contenti dell'attenzione che la nostra programmazione sta ricevendo - ha commentato a margine Giovanni Modina, direttore contenuti dei canali Premium - Sui film avevamo gia' fortuna, grazie a un'offerta maggiore, piu' fresca di 10 anni e con la meta' del tasso di repeat rispetto a Sky, ma sulla serie tv si sta riducendo il gap percettivo: pubblico e media si stanno accorgendo delle nostre novita'". Premium vanta infatti 1000 ore di prime TV fra le 5mila ore complessive di serie che andranno in onda nel 2016, e fra queste non solo le serie presentate oggi, ma novita' molto attese come 'Legends of Tomorrow' su Premium Action, spin-off di 'Flash' e 'Arrow', o 'Shades of Blue' prodotta e interpretata da Jennifer Lopez su Premium Crime. E per quanto riguarda le piattaforme on-demand Infinity e Play, Modina ha annunciato che sia 'Mr. Robot' che 'Bosch' saranno a disposizione alcune settimane dopo la messa in onda.
