NEWS - Al via "Mayans MC", spin-off di "Sons of Anarchy". E il protagonista, metà argentino e metà salvadoregno, accusa: "Obama ha privilegiato gli afroamericani e ha dimenticato i latini"

Articolo tratto da "La Stampa"
J. D. Pardo, classe 1980, americano, papà argentino e mamma di El Salvador, è il protagonista di Mayans M. C. , serie spin-off di Sons of Anarchy, in onda su Fox da stasera. Interpreta un motociclista, diviso tra il club - i Mayans del titolo - e la sua vecchia vita. «Ero emozionato quando mi hanno scelto - ha raccontato al Fox Circus, evento milanese che in tre giorni ha raccolto più di 50 mila persone —. Ma ero emozionato anche per tutta l'attesa che c'era attorno a questa serie». Sons of Anarchy, ha detto, l'ha recuperata subito prima di fare il provino: «Perché volevo conoscere il mondo e la realtà in cui queste storie sono ambientate». Per prepararsi, oltre ad imparare a guidare una Harley, ha deciso di seguire i consigli di Kurt Sutter, il creatore della serie. E cioè: evitare qualunque contatto con i club motociclistici. «Ez, il mio personaggio, è solo un aspirante, e in un certo senso rappresenta gli occhi del pubblico: deve scoprire ogni cosa di volta in volta, e le mie reazioni dovevano essere genuine». Ez è anche un ragazzo intelligente, figlio di immigrati, che è andato a Standford e che incarna il sogno americano. «Aveva una fidanzata conosciuta al liceo e sapeva quello che voleva fare nella sua vita - ha precisato Pardo -. Poi, però, a causa di un incidente, è finito in galera. Ed è su questo che volevo concentrarmi». E quindi sulla prigione e su come riesca a stravolgere le persone e il loro futuro. Una cosa che - ha insistito Pardo - non viene fatta spesso nei film e nelle serie tv. «Io, invece, volevo analizzare a fondo questo aspetto. Quando sei in galera, vivi secondo un codice. Non importa chi sei, il tuo aspetto, quello che indossi; importa solo la tua parola. È tutto quello che hai». Quello di Ez è un ruolo diverso dal solito: non è il tipico delinquente, e - come ha tenuto a dire anche Pardo - non è il tipo di lavoro che viene offerto ai latini ad Hollywood. Ed è per questo che ha sentito una certa responsabilità: «Da una parte c'è quella di non deludere le aspettative dopo Sons of Anarchy. E dall'altra c'è quella di attore. A Hollywood la comunità latina non ha molte visibilità. Ora sento il peso della posizione in cui mi trovo». Perché? «Quando Obama è diventato presidente, ha aperto molte porte per gli afro-americani. Per i latini, invece, ci sono sempre le stesse possibilità. Al cinema e in tv».

GOSSIP - La scoperta del secolo! Charlie Hunnam su "Glamour": "devo il mio successo al pubblico femminile!". Ma vahhhh????

Charlie Hunnam has something to say about his female fans! The 37-year-old King Arthur: Legend of the Sword actor was spotted grabbing a bite to eat with some buddies on Monday (May 22) in West Hollywood, Calif. Charlie recently returned from a trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil, to premiere the movie, where he wore a crown and revealed how filming “destroyed” his body! Regarding his female fan base, Charlie told Glamour, “Our key demographic on Sons Of Anarchy was predominantly female. And King Arthur is appealing in the test screenings much more to women than men – so I feel that even though I play hyper-masculine roles, I’ve always been well-received by the female audience.”

News tratta da "Uproxx"
Charlie Hunnam was the original choice to play human doorknob Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey, but he (wisely, considering the final product) exited the project due to scheduling issues. “It was the worst professional experience of my life,” the Sons of Anarchy star said. “It was the most emotionally destructive and difficult thing that I’ve ever had to deal with professionally. It was heartbreaking.” If Hunnam got that worked up over Grey, imagine how he feels about turning down a role in Game of Thrones. While promoting the nü-metal epic King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Hunnam told the Sun, “I would love to do a Game of Thrones cameo. They offered me a cameo on that show a little while ago, but I was shooting something else, so I wasn’t able to do it. But maybe in the future, who knows.” Between Thrones (where he’d be a natural fit for the Night’s Watch — he’s also not afraid to show his butt, which is helpful for this show) and a potential appearance on the Sons spinoff Mayans MC, Hunnam has a hypothetically busy future. He’s also reportedly in the running to replace Daniel Craig as the next 007. “I can say two things,” he said on Conan. “I’m English and I look devilishly handsome in a suit. I can say three things… and nobody has called me about playing James Bond, so I’m pretty sure that’s not going to happen.” There’s always the Undeclared reunion special. His accent’s gotten better.

Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment who regard indigenous populations as “savages,” the determined Fawcett – supported by his devoted wife (Miller), son (Holland) and aide-de-camp (Pattinson) – returns time and again to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case, culminating in his mysterious disappearance in 1925.

NEWS - Netflix, e voi che abbonati siete? Ingordi o sommelier? Analizzate le abitudini degli utenti streaming: i generi horror, action, thriller e scifi consumati prima di drama e sit-com

Articolo tratto da "Corriere Economia"
Si sa, lo streaming ha cambiato il modo in cui guardiamo le serie tv, svelando un pianeta di ghiottoni. II binge watching—la grande abbuffata— è stile di vita e malattia del nostro tempo. Liberi da spot pubblicitari e orari prefissati, ingurgitiamo un episodio dopo l'altro dei nostri programmi preferiti. Ma sarà proprio così? Secondo un nuovo studio di Netflix, che per sette mesi ha analizzato le abitudini degli utenti di oltre 190 Paesi su più di 100 serie, in corso o già concluse, se in generale gli spettatori finiscono una stagione entro una settimana, non tutte le serie sono consumate allo stesso modo. Alcune vengono divorate, altre «assaporate», cioè fruite un po' più lentamente. È la differenza tra chi fa streaming per più di due ore a volta e chi per meno: la cosiddetta «binge scale» di Netflix. «In passato ci limitavamo a sottolineare il fenomeno binge watching — spiega Cindy Holland, vice president contenuti originali dell'azienda guidata da Reed Hastings, che ad aprile contava nel mondo oltre 81 milioni di utenti —. Oggi lo svisceriamo». Scoprendo che gli spettatori consumano più velocemente serie d'azione, fantascienza, horror e thriller, mentre impiegano più tempo per drammi politici e commedie più sofisticate. Smodati, sì, insomma, ma non indistintamente. È questione di genere. C'è l'ingordo velocissimo, insaziabile. Che finisce una stagione in quattro giorni, guardandone due ore e mezza a volta. È l'utente di Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story e Sons of Anarchy. Serie, cioè, che vanno dritte alla pancia, che non devi rifletterci troppo. C'é poi il famelico abbastanza smanioso, che di giorni ce ne mette cinque, per circa due ore al di. E quello che ama le commedie drammatiche, i polizieschi psicologici e serie di supereroi. Fargo, The Blacklist, Orange Is the New Black, ma anche Bloodline, Grace e Frankie e Jessica Jones. E cë infine il vorace riflessivo, che impiega sei giorni a completare una stagione e fa streaming per un'ora e 45 minuti a volta. Preferisce le serie politiche, le commedie più irriverenti, il dramma storico. E quindi Mad Men, Arrested Development, House of Cards, così come The Americans, Homeland e The Good Wife. Netflix tiene a sottolineare come «assaporare» una serie non vuol dire che questa abbia meno successo. Piuttosto, che l'utente abbia bisogno di più tempo per digerire ogni episodio. È il caso di commedie alternative con battute a ripetizione come Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, di serie di commento sociale, narrative complesse come House of Cards e Narcos. Emozioni profonde, personaggi sfaccettati. E certo, non tutti credono alla validità del modello binge. I network tradizionali tirano acqua a casa propria sostenendo che sia la messa in onda di settimana in settimana a tener più viva la conversazione culturale, e quindi l'interesse, su una serie. Netflix rilancia, osservando che un utente consuma le successive stagioni di una serie ancora più velocemente della prima. Se invece volete sapere quale sia quella meno divorata in assoluto, è presto detto. L'animata BoJack Horseman, black comedy con le voci di Will Arnett, Alison Brie e Amy Sedaris. Perché se il binge watching è il «new normal», entrare nella testa di un cavallo depresso e alcolizzato, pur se a cartoni, è ancora impresa cui accostarsi poco a poco.

NEWS - Clamoroso al Cibali! Il Moige Usa condanna "AHS: Hotel": "è il contenuto più vile e scioccante di sempre!"

Articolo tratto da "Uproxx"

The moralistic finger-waggers over at the Parents Television Council are the prudish kings and queens of hyperbole. Last year, they complained that an episode of Sons of Anarchy “opened with the most sexually explicit content we’ve ever seen on basic cable.” American Horror Story: Hotel creator Ryan Murphy sees Kurt Sutter’s sex scenes, and raises him “the most vile and shocking content I’ve ever seen on TV.” Ever? “Ever.”

[PTC], led by president Tim Winter, singled out the season premiere of American Horror Story: Hotel for featuring what he called an “unbelievably explicit combination of sex and violence.”
“This is the most vile and shocking content I’ve ever seen on TV. Ever,” Winter wrote in an email to subscribers calling for an advertiser boycott the series. “Most Americans have no idea this is primetime fare on advertiser-supported basic cable. And everyone is paying for it as part of their program bundle.” (Via the Hollywood Reporter)

No, I’m guessing “most Americans” know exactly what to expect from a show called American Horror Story starring Lady Gaga (Murphy’s Scream Queens was also criticized for featuring “graphic decapitations and discussions of necrophilia in the family hour”). I’d be curious to read what the PTC thinks about The Americans, except even they don’t watch it.

NEWS  - Game of Emmys! Ecco come l'ultima edizione può aver cambiato/rimescolato le carte in tavola (la vittoria di un fantasy la dice lunga...)

Post di Brian Lowry su "Variety"
New voting system, infusion of new members, same old Emmys? In some respects, yes, but with a very significant – indeed, one might say dragon-sized – asterisk, in the outstanding drama award that went to the hugely popular but heretofore overlooked “Game of Thrones” representing a rare and welcome breakthrough for a genre series. Beyond capping a splendid and dominating night for HBO, the Television Academy finally recognized a fantasy epic that is, by any measure, no pretender to the throne — the series scooped a record-breaking 12 Emmy Awards this year.
Combine that with stellar and crowd-pleasing honors for Jon Hamm and Viola Davis in the lead drama categories, and Jeffrey Tambor on the comedy side, and Emmy organizers should wake up feeling pretty good (or at least relieved) by most of the choices, while leaving behind ample room for the inevitable griping about snubs.
The perception that the academy is old and fusty (just ask “Sons of Anarchy’s” Kurt Sutter, or “The Walking Dead” fans) hasn’t been helped in recent years by its consistent refusal to acknowledge programs in the sci-fi and fantasy realm, even with “Lost” winning a decade ago. And while there’s no way to know if procedural changes in the voting smoothed the way for “Thrones’” victory, the fact that the mega-hit finally made it over the wall – sweetened by its Sunday-night wins for directing, writing and Peter Dinklage – clearly seemed overdue.

For all that, much of the ceremony still felt in keeping with Emmy Awards past – that is, a few new faces thrown in with a plethora of familiar ones, including repeat winners and a few near category-wide sweeps.
The abundance of first-rate programs and performances gave voters a lot of ways to go without embarrassing themselves, although the parade of talent associated with HBO’s splendid miniseries “Olive Kitteridge” couldn’t help but come at the expense of some very worthy players, none more so than Mark Rylance (“Wolf Hall”) and Queen Latifah (“Bessie”).

As for variety series, “The Daily Show’s” sweep of program, directing and writing honors was an appropriate valedictory sendoff for Jon Stewart’s tenure, balanced by a newly introduced sketch award to Comedy Central’s “Inside Amy Schumer.” Like a lot of categories Sunday, the real shame was that David Letterman couldn’t share in the glory.
Certainly, the comedy voting exhibited some of the academy’s more hallowed tendencies, returning to repeat winner Tony Hale and perennial favorites Allison Janney and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who should have the steps to the Nokia Theater stage memorized. That’s not to say they didn’t deserve more hardware, only that repeat awards can’t help but feel a trifle deflating excitement-wise with so many admirable contenders. (Even switching from comedy to drama couldn’t stop “Orange Is the New Black’s” Uzo Aduba).
If “Modern Family’s” best-comedy run had to come to an end, “Veep” – which had what was likely its best season – felt like a much safer choice to swing the axe than “Transparent,” which would have represented an enormous coup for Amazon’s fledgling original-series efforts. As it was, the streaming service didn’t exactly settle, earning awards for series creator Jill Soloway and Tambor, perhaps the clearest-cut acting selection in a night filled with races that could have reasonably gone in different directions.

After all the buzz about greater diversity at this year’s awards, the academy also delivered on that score, with Davis’ overpowering work in “How to Get Away With Murder” marking a milestone for African-American actresses, joined by Aduba and Regina King, who made the most of a relatively small role in ABC’s “American Crime.”
In terms of the amended rules, the big change involved dispensing with Blue Ribbon panels, which as conducted shrank the voting pool but insured that those who choose, say, best TV movie actually watched all the candidates. Instead, the selections were opened up to the entire membership, making the process more democratic on its face. What nobody can know, of course, is how many of those members cast ballots based on reputation, in much the way people check off Superior Court judges and school board members on election day.
Still, even if the Emmys turned into one big popularity contest, “Thrones” – a landmark drama – can finally enjoy a feast where no one gets killed, and most of the right folks won. While there’s no such thing as an awards show now that’s going to satisfy everyone in our fragmented media landscape, when was the last time the Television Academy – or just about any large group that votes on stuff – could say that?

PICCOLO GRANDE SCHERMO - Da Re della Strada a Re Artù! Hunnam tira fuori lo spadone su "EW" 
Charlie Hunnam of Sons of Anarchy is smoldering in this first look at his character King Arthur on the cover of EW magazine’s latest issue! “He’s a little bit rough around the edges, but he’s basically a survivor. He’s a hustler,” the 35-year-old actor told the mag. “He’s a street kid. There’s definitely a harder edge to him than people would imagine. It’s sort of classic Guy Ritchie stuff”. “I think where the pitfall has often been is trying to make King Arthur bland and nice, and nice and bland,” director Guy Ritchie added. “The two qualities make rather compatible bed companions. Unfortunately, they’re not interesting to watch. Luke Skywalker was always the most uninteresting character in Star Wars because he’s the good guy. Good guys are boring.”
Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur will hit theaters on July 22, 2016. For more from King Arthur, visit EW.com.

ESCLUSIVA - Donal Logue intervistato da "Telefilm Cult" per la ripresa di "Gotham" su Premium Action stasera: "Io, da 'Sons of Anarchy' a Batman, duro per forza..."
In occasione della trasmissione degli episodi inediti di "Gotham", dal 11 maggio su Premium Action (ogni lunedì in prima serata), Telefilm Cult ha intervistato in esclusiva Donal Logue, interprete del detective Harvey Bullock. 

How does it feel to be part of the DC Universe?

For me, it’s massive. To get a thumbprint on a world that’s very important to a lot of people is huge. Prior to Gotham, my only experience of Harvey Bullock was in Batman: The Animated Series. My kids would watch that show as we drove up to our house in Oregon, so I was familiar with that version of the character – but I wanted to make it my own. It’s exciting to take your place on the shelf among all the other people who have had a play in this world. It’s really exciting.

What’s the atmosphere like on the set of Gotham?

It’s fantastic. Right now, we’re in the middle of production, so we’re finding the rhythms and strides of the show. Every episode has been a blast. So far, I feel like it’s a really, really strong series.

Has the show been strong since the very first episode?

It’s interesting because if you watch the pilot for a series – for example, The Sopranos – it takes a while to find a rhythm for a show. I think we found a rhythm pretty quickly. To be honest, we always thought the pilot was strong.

Most people know about Batman and Gotham City, but how difficult is it to describe the show without giving away any spoilers?

I’ve never been on a show before where you didn’t have to pitch the idea to the audience. When you work on something like [Donal’s previous television show] Terriers, where the title isn’t really implicit of what the show is about, you have to generate all of that information and you pitch it in interviews. You don’t have to pitch Gotham. It’s in the nomenclature.

What attracted you to the show?

For me, I was always drawn by it – but not because I’m necessarily into fantasy and the super hero aspect of the show; I’ve always liked it because it has a Raymond Chandler and James Ellroy quality to it. I always like the noir-ish part of American society, the American urban underbelly. It feels like Gotham can be used as a descriptive term for the seedier side of any big metropolitan centre. That’s what drew me to the show, and that’s what we’re playing up with the show. It feels a bit like the movie Chinatown. It feels like my character is Jake Gittes in that movie. Jim Gordon comes along and he’s really idealistic, but he’s partnered with Harvey Bullock, a guy who’s been through it all. Maybe he’s got one bit of goodness left in him, though. It takes a guy like Jim Gordon to bring that back out in Harvey Bullock.

You’ve played a lot of tough characters on a variety of shows including Vikings and Sons Of Anarchy. Are you looking forward to being the tough guy again in Gotham?

Yes, I am. Lee Toric in Sons Of Anarchy was probably a little tougher than Harvey Bullock in Gotham – but it’s great. It’s interesting because a television critic explained that our new show is really violent and not for young fans. I replied, “Violent? Compared to what? Vikings and Sons Of Anarchy? Come on!” To be honest, my kids watched The Lord Of The Rings when they were two years old and they loved it.

How would you describe Harvey Bullock?

Harvey is an old school detective who’s been around the block a lot. He’s a legend. I think he’s well liked among the police department because he’ll defend the blue line. I wouldn’t say that he’s unethical; I just say that he’s the willow and not the oak. He’s pragmatic. Just like with police work in general, sometimes you have to cut a scumbag a break to be a confidential informant to get bigger bad people. He’s actually crossed that line a bit. He actually has relationships with people in the criminal underworld, but he’s trying to survive – and maybe he’s trying to get to his pension. When a guy like Jim Gordon shows up and starts saying, “No, there’s a right and there’s a wrong.” Harvey thinks, ‘Good luck!’ However, Jim Gordon wakes something up inside of Harvey Bullock. I think it maybe makes Harvey want to be the cop that he once was.

Will the show delve into the back-story of Harvey Bullock?

Absolutely. In fact, I just found out some little tidbits about his back-story. We’re getting to that pretty soon in the show, which is exciting.

How much did you know about the back-story of Harvey when you signed up for the role?

I had a good long talk with [Gotham creator] Bruno Heller about the character when we first met. Bruno is brilliant. I can’t articulate the show the way that he can, but he made it so plain and clear to me. Sometimes you don’t have to try that hard to work out a character. When you have to work really hard to try and figure out a character, it’s not always necessarily the best thing. Harvey Bullock was a much easier cloak to put on than Donovan in Copper or King Horik in Vikings. It felt pretty easy and it felt like it made sense.

Vikings, Copper and Gotham are three very specific and different time periods. Are you suffering from whiplash from all these different characters and ideas?

No. As an actor, you get used to change. When you’re doing summer repertoire theatre and you have a Joe Orton comedy in rep but you’re also rehearsing a Sam Sheppard play during the day, you have to get used to it. It was much more intense when I was doing Copper and Sons Of Anarchy at the same time, which is where I was literally travelling between two cities for work. I’d spend one day on Copper, and the next day on Sons Of Anarchy. That was tough. During the shooting of the Gotham pilot, I was doing two massive episodes of Law & Order. That was a challenge, too. However, I think that if you need something done, give it to a busy man. You’re more on point when it’s challenging. I seem to thrive in that environment more than one where there isn’t much pressure at all.

What’s the strength of doing a prequel series as opposed to diving right into the middle of the mythology of Batman?

I’ll mention the work of Don DeLillo to answer this question. Don DeLillo’s fiction was always strongest when he took an event where we know what happened, but he invents possible scenarios that lead up to the event. Take the Kennedy assassination as an example. We all know what happened there. We know the events of that day, but Don DeLillo’s novel brings up new ideas. You already have tent pole moments to hang from, which is what we have on the show. We know that at some point Batman is Batman. The Penguin doesn’t fight the moniker of The Penguin. He learns to embrace it and become it. We know we’re going to get to that point in the show, but how do you build any suspense when you know the outcomes? You create moments where the audience thinks, ‘If only for that, we wouldn’t have had all of this. What if?’ If Hitler had been accepted to art school in Vienna, what if? That’s part of the fun of it.

What do you think of Oswald Cobblepot [aka The Penguin] in Gotham?

We have to start strong, and the critical piece of the puzzle was who was going to play Oswald Cobblepot. That’s the actor Robin Lord Taylor, who I’ve known for a long time, since he was very young. He’s perfect. If he wasn’t fantastic, I think maybe the whole show wouldn’t work, but we got the right man for the job. He’s amazing. It seems like we’re very Oswald Cobblepot heavy right now, which is a good thing.

There’s been a recent explosion of DC adaptations on television in 2014. Do you think that’s helpful to Gotham?

Absolutely. I think high tide floats all boats. I think comics in general have always been the most natural fit for television because they are constantly evolving storylines. They are literally storyboarded the way a Director Of Photography would storyboard them; they are all drawn out with bits of dialogue attached to them. It’s harder to adapt novels because there’s so much internal dialogue, but comics are really cinematic. I think there’s room for everybody.

NEWS -  Fuoco, cammina con Drea! La De Matteo dei "Soprano" e "SOA" si ritrova la casa in cenere


News tratta da "US Weekly"

Sopranos and Sons of Anarchy star Drea De Matteo was one of the many who lost an apartment in the NYC East Village explosion on Thursday, Mar. 26. The actress posted photos of her building up in flames from across the street at the time of the scary scene.
"NYC's finest trying to put out the flames to mine n many others apartments. Speechless…," the 43-year-old captioned one Instagram photo. "[Pray] for those that are hurt."

The large fire caused two buildings to collapse, leaving 19 injured (four of them critically) and one person missing. According to NBC, Good Samaritans scrambled to help people escape, and firefighters took just three minutes to arrive. The powerful blaze was reportedly caused by plumbing and gas work in the building.
Like so many others, De Matteo, a Queens native, appeared to be in disbelief. "A hole where my NYC home of the last 22 years once stood…" she captioned a second photo. "RIP 123 2nd Avenue."

Another actress, Sarah Hyland, also has a close connection with the area. "I grew up across the street. Thinking of my childhood neighborhood," the Modern Family star tweeted Thursday, including a headline and a link to a New York Daily News story about the fire. "Explosion shreds East Village, building collapses."

PICCOLO GRANDE SCHERMO - Plinsky, Je suis Charlie (Hunnam)! Il protagonista di "Sons of Anarchy" in lizza per il reboot di "1997: Fuga da New York"

News tratta da Deadline.com
EXCLUSIVE: Snake Plissken is back! Fox has emerged from competitive bidding and closed a deal to remake the 1981 John Carptenter-directed cult classic Escape From New York. Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman’s The Picture Company will produce. The original was released by Avco Embassy, and the rights were own by Studiocanal. Carpenter will be an executive producer and will exert creative influence over the project. Fox’s Mike Ireland brought it in and will steer. The hope is to reinvent the property with an eye toward launching a new franchise. In the original, Kurt Russell played Plissken, an eyepatch-sporting tough guy who is conscripted to rescue the president of the United States after Air Force One — en route to a summit that could head off WWIII — goes missing after it crashes in New York, which has been relegated to a maximum security prison. Plissken, a former special forces operative convicted of trying to rob the Federal Reserve, is given 22 hours to liberate the president and a tape he carries which holds the key to peace. If he fails, he’s wired to explode. The cynical original, hatched by Carpenter after the Watergate scandal, was set in a futuristic Gotham circa 1997. There have been remake overtures before, but not with Carpenter involved. New Line tried it with Neal Moritz. It’s the second producing project set up by The Picture Company, after they set Nottingham And Hood at Disney. TPC has a deal with Studiocanal. While there was a spate of rumors earlier this fall that the film was about to be cast with the likes of Sons Of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam, I’m told those rumors amounted to wishful thinking by fans, because there was no rights deal made until now, and there is no script. They are starting from scratch. That said, the notion of Hunnam playing the Snake, or Chris Hemsworth who was another one rumored, seems like pretty inspired ideas from here. I saw Russell at an AFM buyers event for Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, and he certainly looked robust though you can’t do a remake with the original guy.
All of that is fantasy league stuff and the reality comes down the road when they hire a scribe and a filmmaker and the studio gets a script it likes. Who else is worth considering for Plissken?

NEWS - Clamoroso al Cibali! "Sons of Anarchy" sotto accusa dal Parents Television Council (il Moige Usa): "l'ultima puntata è stata pornografia pura" (tutti i protagonisti impegnati in atti sessuali espliciti di varia natura)

News tratta da "Entertainment Weekly"
What, can’t a basic cable drama have nearly three-minute long graphic sex montage showing nearly every major member of its cast engaged in all sorts of lusty hardcore acts?

Apparently not without angering a certain parents group.
The Parents Television Council is unloading on FX’s Sons of Anarchy, which opened last Tuesday’s episode with a series of sex scenes. The sequence rather effectively illustrated the widely varying range emotional states and romantic relationships of the main characters—while also serving up a hearty eyeful of Charlie Hunnam’s bare butt.
The scene featured six couples indulging in various acts (and one character giving herself solo pleasure) and was dubbed “the f–ktage” by show insiders.

“It’s official: In order to watch cable news, ESPN, Disney or the History Channel, every family in America must now also pay for pornography on FX,” said PTC president Tim Winter. “Last week’s episode of Sons of Anarchy opened with the most sexually explicit content we’ve ever seen on basic cable, content normally found on premium subscription networks like HBO or Showtime … If FX wants to be like HBO and air this kind of explicit content, then they should become a premium network … Families should not be forced to underwrite pornography. Cable Choice is a solution whose time has come, and there could hardly be a better example of it than this.”
FX declined to comment and show creator Kurt Sutter had no immediate comment. It’s worth noting that the series airs at 10 p.m. and FX runs a TV-MA advisory warning before the show and after every commercial break.
The PTC has decried a wide range of TV subjects, from the decidedly silly (protesting Adult Swim for making cartoons for adults, and MTV for what Nicki Minaj might do at the VMAs) to the arguably valid (inaccurate content ratings; ABC segueing from a Charlie Brown special into a Scandal sex scene).
The organization previously targeted SOA last year, when the show had a sequence involving a school shooting. At the time, Sutter responded: “The PTC—I would imagine these are not evil people, but they’re just not very intelligent or intuitive people. … The fact that these people want to be monitoring what my children watch is terrifying … whenever that stuff crosses the line into censorship, it’s just scary, not just on a creative level but on a personal level.”

GOSSIP - Hunnam in sella su "Men's Health" rivela: "la mia vita dopo 'Sons of Anarchy'..."

Charlie Hunnam of "Sons of Anarchy" looks mighty fine as he takes the cover of the December 2014 issue of Men’s Health UK!
“My favorite days are at home,” the 34-year-old English actor told ET behind the scenes. “Spend some time in the garden, cook a couple of nice meals, watch a couple of movies. I’m pretty boring”. “There’s some small independent stuff, and then I have two films I’m developing as a producer,” Charlie continued on about life after Sons of Anarchy. “They’re kind of really exciting to be exploring a little bit behind the camera, to try to keep working and doing work that I’m proud of.”

NEWS - Achtung! Il telefilm più amato al mondo del momento è "The Big Bang Theory": indagine internet in 18 Paesi mette la sit-com al vertice dell'entusiasmo social (a ruota "Modern Family" e "Sons of Anarchy"). In Italia batte "GOT" e "TWD" 
Il telefilm più amato del mondo è “The Big Bang Theory”. La sit-com attualmente in onda su Italia 1 e Joi tutti i giorni in attesa dell’8° stagione inedita (su Joi dal 6 gennaio 2015) è risultata al vertice dei titoli seriali che generano entusiasmo sul web e tra i social di ben 18 Paesi, Italia compresa.

Uno studio effettuato da Outbrain, realtà internazionale che si occupa di distribuzione di contenuti digitali di grandi gruppi editoriali quali CNN, nel mese di settembre, ha analizzato 14 serie televisive in 18 paesi di tutto il mondo per scoprire qual è la serie che genera maggior interesse ed entusiasmo in rete e spinge alla scoperta di contenuti di approfondimento.

I titoli sotto esame sono stati: “True Detective”, “House of Cards”, “The Walking Dead”, “Game of Thrones”, “Scandal”, “Sons of Anarchy”, “Modern Family”, , “24”, “The Good Wife”, “Homeland”, “The Big Bang Theory”, “Ray Donovan”, “Orange is the New Black”, “Grey’s Anatomy”.

I Paesi sotto osservazione sono stati: Italia, UK, Germania, Francia, Spagna, Stati Uniti, Giappone, Israele, India, Singapore, Malesia, Indonesia, Filippine, Hong Kong, Tailandia, Australia, Nuova Zelanda. 

Outbrain ha analizzato il proprio network per scoprire i telefilm più popolari per i quali gli spettatori si rivolgono alla rete per consultare contenuti di approfondimento, informazioni e news misurando volumi e page view per articolo pubblicato per ogni serie presa in esame. L’autunno televisivo è iniziato e ha lanciato la nuova stagione delle serie televisive in tanti paesi del mondo, Italia inclusa. Vere e proprie manie, le serie tv oggi creano incalliti gruppi di sostenitori che diventano i massimi esperti del genere: quindi, per i veri fan è iniziata la caccia a news, articoli di approfondimento e storie. Gli appassionati non si accontentano più della visione dei singoli episodi in TV: sono curiosi di scoprire novità dei propri personaggi preferiti, di quello che succede in altre nazioni, della sceneggiatura, del regista e così via. La rete in questo, con siti web, blog dedicati e i social network, è di grande aiuto ed è regolarmente presa d’assalto all’inizio della trasmissione dei nuovi cicli, generando quello che, con un inglesismo, viene chiamato content consumption e che permette di individuare il grado di interesse verso uno specifico argomento attraverso il numero di pagine viste e consultate  (page view) in Internet.

“The Big Bang Theory” è la serie che ha suscitato maggior curiosità tra gli spettatori di tutto il mondo generando una media di 9559 pagine viste per ogni articolo pubblicato, seguito da “Modern Family” (4232) e “Sons of Anarchy” (4197). “True Detective“ si posiziona nella parte bassa della classifica con 440 page view per articolo, seguito da “24” (472) e “Homeland” (534).

In Italia, “The Big Bang Theory” genera il maggior numero di page view d’inizio stagione, a cui seguono le storie su “Game of Thrones” e “The Walking Dead”. 

“The Big Bang Theory” trionfa anche, in quanto a popolarità, in Germania e Stati Uniti, mentre in Francia, Giappone e Singapore gli utenti sono catturati dagli intrighi di “House of Cards”. Per gli spagnoli “Grey’s Anatomy” è al primo posto tra le serie che generano più interesse in rete; nel Regno Unito invece  si preferisce “Modern Family”; in India prevale “Game of Thrones”; in Australia “Orange is The New Black”.
