Wonder Woman is shooting in the fall and with that time rapidly approaching information is starting to come out about the shooting schedule.  It has already been reported that the film will shoot primarily in London and that Bill Westenhofer has been tapped for the visual effects we can now add another location to the list. Playing to the rumors that a portion of the film will take place during World War I, the sitting of Basilicata, Italy will be used as a location as well.  As you can see in the above picture, the city is quite beautiful in a timeless fashion and could be used in multiple periods…

With Season One of the Flash Behind us and a long wait still ahead of us it’s time to go back and discuss what we’ve learned.  To do that I’m taking the questions from each week’s review in order (excluding the finale) and see if they’ve been answered and what those answers mean: The Pilot: 1)      Where is “Grodd” and just how changed is he? Answered: At this point in the season, Grodd was hiding out in the sewers as his intellect and telepathic powers expanded. 2)      How much future knowledge does Wells possess? Answered: Quite a bit in fact, since “Wells” was Eobard Thawne and from the future he…

Earlier this month, Jenna Dewan-Tatum (The Mindy Project, Step Up) was cast for a recurring role as Lucy Lane on Supergirl and today the producers have released their first photo of her in the role: The character has been described as: “Strong, smart and successful in her own right. She’s got a history with Jimmy Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) and she’s come to town to right a previous wrong.”  Along with the picture, Executive Producer Ali Adler has elaborated on Lucy’s character.  “We hope to explore the history that Lucy has with James Olsen — or, as Lucy knows him, Jimmy Olsen. I think we’re going to bring in her father. She…

One of the things that became apparent during the first season of Flash was the link between Barry Allen’s origin and the origin of another DC Hero, Firestorm.  At times it even seemed much of the first season was built more around the origin of Firestorm than the titular hero.  Season two of the Flash seems set on continuing that good relationship as Demore Barnes joins the cast as one of the Flamebrain’s top villains, Tokamak. A native of Toronto, Barnes first made his way to the screen in the late nineties in a TV movie called White Lies.  From there, he made some guest appearance on a few television…

As we inch closer to the Fall TV season, the news coming out is getting more substantial, as are the treats and peaks the public is offered.  As part of Entertainment Weekly’s #50Scoops50Days campaign, the producers of Gotham have offered us our first look as Michael Chiklis as “Nathanial Barnes.” Take a look: As you can see, Chiklis commands attention and respect in his role and Barnes.  Included in the EW article was a more detailed description of the character.  Barnes is a “law and order zealot who lands on the GCPD like a tornado, ripping out the dead wood of Gotham’s police force.”  Chiklis is listed as a series regular…

Let’s be honest; from the moment the CW started talking about the Flash joining the DC/CW-Universe, the Wally West question has been right up there in terms of popularity with “Will it connect with the movies?” With Keiynan Lonsdale set to join the cast we’re starting to get some answers for those questions.  As a fan of the show, Lonsdale is getting some of those answers himself and sharing them The Wrap. The Australian born actor is a relative newcomer and has recently wrapped up filming his role in Allegiant, the conclusion of the Divergent film series.  With Allegiant completed he’s free to join the cast as a series regular…

Supergirl casting news for your Monday evening.  This time it’s not a super-powered hero or villain but rather a boy who has the chance to befriend Kara.  So, who better to befriend Supergirl than Peter Pan? Meet twelve year old, Levi Miller. Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, Levi will make his feature film debut later this year as the title character in Joe Wright’s Pan, which was produced by Supergirl EP, Greg Berlanti.  (In addition to Berlanti, Pan is written by Wonder Woman screenwriter Jason Fuchs and stars Suicide Squad’s Cara Delevingne.)  Prior to Pan, Miller had roles in some short films and on the short-lived Fox series, Terra Nova. (imdb) He…

Some Supergirl casting news to close out your week and this is frankly one of the most appropriately named actors in a long, long time.  Justice Leak, best known for his role in the film The Great Debaters has been cast as Hellgrammite. Hailing from Montgomery, Alabama, Peak is the son of a police officer.  His father had decided on the name while serving in Vietnam and vowed to do so if he survived his tour of duty.  Peak hit the screen in 2004 with a role in the horror movie, Jack O’Lantern.  From there he had parts in film such as; Chosen, Death of Seasons and in 2007 he…

Gotham’s Second Season has the tagline of “The Rise of the Villains” so it’s safe to assume things will be… No, not gonna do it twice.  Things will be escalating in Gotham City, and doing his part to make the most dangerous place in the DC Universe just a little worse is veteran actor, Leo Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick’s first role was in the 1995 indie film Kids where he played “Telly.”  From there he spent the next ten years working primarily in films such as 7-Teen Sips, Personal Velocity and Bubble Boy.  In 2002, he took the role “Johnny Weeks” on HBO’s The Wire.  He later appeared on Carnivále, My Name…

One of the biggest questions that came from the announcement of CBS picking up Supergirl for their fall season has been: “Wait, it’s not going to be on CW?”  It’s a valid question, the series is produced by Flash and Arrow’s Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, and CW has found a lot of success with those series.  CW President Mark Pedowitz spoke to the Television Critics Association today about why they passed on Supergirl. Pedowitz said, “Last summer Flash had not been on the air yet.  We had Arrow and Flash and we were not planning to do another DC character. Supergirl was talked about by Warner Brothers to us.…
