AMC Is Ditching Almost All Of Its "Unscripted" And Reality Programming
Hopefully you’re not a fan of AMC’s Small Town Security or 4th And Loud. They’ll be disappearing along with the other unscripted series on the network’s schedule. The only two to survive the cut will be Talking Dead and Kevin Smith’s Comic Book Men. The move comes from a shift back towards scripted original programming for the network, making it a priority. From The Hollywood Reporter:
“Scripted originals are at the core of the AMC brand. Iconic shows like Mad Men, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead have driven AMC’s evolution into a must-have television network,” an AMC spokesman said in a statement. “We are proud of our efforts in unscripted programming and the unique worlds we have been able to introduce, but in an environment of exploding content options for viewers, we have decided to make scripted programming our priority.”
You’ve surely read a number of articles referring to AMC’s future woes in programming following the departure of Breaking Bad and Mad Men. With the failure and low impact of shows like Low Winter Sun, Halt And Catch Fire, and Turn, it’s really no shock that the network wants to refocus their efforts towards their scripted arm.
The part I am surprised by is the ejection of the entire slate of shows. I always thought they were beneficial to the scripted shows because they provided cheap programming that still earned advertising dollars. I guess that only works when those unscripted shows are actually successful. Who saw that coming?

Discovery Channel should follow this idea too..

New Details Emerge From the Palin Family Brawl
"Sarah Palin’s family threw down in a massive drunken brawl as violent as any wrestling cage match — with ripped shirts, bloodied faces, and her daughter Bristol getting dragged around a lawn by her legs."
http://www.tmz.com/2014/10/09/sarah-palin-bristol-todd-willow-family-brawl-fight-alaska-party-police-report/
The brawl went down last month near Anchorage, Alaska … when the Palin clan — Todd and his kids Willow, Track, and Bristol — went to a friend’s house party. According to the police report … obtained by TMZ … the violence erupted when Bristol went after a woman who had allegedly shoved her younger sister Willow.
Bristol told police the homeowner, Korey Klingenmeyer, shoved her to the ground, dragged her around, and started calling her a slut and a c**t. Korey and several other witnesses at the party saw it differently … telling cops Bristol punched him in the face — he says he let her hit him 5-6 times before grabbing her fist and pushing back … sending her reeling to the ground. That scrap then sparked the all-out brawl — witnesses say Track and 3-4 other people came running to defend Bristol … and all hell broke loose … with the Palins, including dad Todd, taking on all comers. Willow says several people at the party we’re chanting, “F**k the Palins!”
One witness says Todd got jumped by 4 people, and Track jumped in to help his father. He emerged from the scrum with a torn shirt and bloody mouth. Bristol says she was uninjured, though one cop described her as having “dirt on her knees.” Worth nothing … cops described almost everyone at the party as being “intoxicated” … including the Palins. As for Sarah … the report says she was sitting in a limo outside the party. (TRANSLATION: TOO DRUNK, PASSED OUT) She’s not mentioned at all in the fight — but it sounds like she tried to calm things down after the fact. The homeowner, Korey, did not want to press charges. In fact, prosecutors declined to file charges against any of the 20-plus involved in the melee. Not surprisingly, Korey told cops the Palins lost the fight. We’ve reached out to the Palins … so far no response.

Laverne Cox And bell hooks Talk How To Survive The Patriarchy
bell hooks is a scholar-in-residence at the New School in New York City this month and this week talked with none other than Laverne Cox in front of a packed crowd.
The conversation was a rare and honest discussion of race, gender, and pop culture. hooks explained that she was interested in talking to Cox because she wanted to see how her feminist theory is affecting people outside of academia.
"People read bell hooks and write their papers and have their discussions. When I heard through the grapevine that Laverne Cox was a big bell hooks reader, I thought, I this is somebody I need to talk with,""She has an awareness of the need to decolonize, but still working within a very colonizing system."
Cox explained how hooks changed her life: "You were writing about unessentialized ideas about what is a woman, you were moving away from these ideas of essentialized womanhood that held feminism back. I found myself there, as a gender-nonconforming college student. I was not quite able to accept my womanhood, but I was able to say, 'Maybe there's a space for me here.' I was able to draw links between the bullying I was experiencing in my own life and the violence I was experiencing as a gender-nonconforming person and how that was an attack on femininity. It made me realize as a college student that we cannot talk about ending homophobia without talking about ending patriarchy, we cannot talk about ending transphobia without talking about ending patriarchy. I love that you talked about pop culture, the space that I longed to be in—but not uncritically. When I read a script now, so much of your work has influenced the way I read scripts and the way I read images."
"I was painfully aware that it scares me to go on national television and use the phrase 'imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy.' I was like, 'I'm already black and trans, this is enough for people. I can't be too political.'" Cox went on to say that because Orange is the New Black is set in a prison, it's inherently political. That gave her a chance to start talking about politics in interviews. "I was like, 'Okay, I can talk about incarceration, I can talk about race.' It gave me permission to go there. I found the more I go there, the more I'm connecting with a lot of folks and a lot of folks are hearing truth in that," said Cox.
LoadingSo I can't believe this happened. I am still in shock and disbelief that I got to share this moment with my feminist idol #bellhooks. I still don't feel worthy but wow! Thanks @alialahloux for the photo "Love, community, James Baldwin, orange is the new black, beauty standards, high heels, money, academia, invisibility blues, love as risk-taking, imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, decolonizing our minds and practicin
g freedom. They hit it all, and were fierce and fabulous. Double star struck. #lavernecox #bellhooks #oitnb" via @PhotoRepost_app
“One of the issues I think that many people have with trans women is the sense of a traditional femininity being called out and reveled in—a femininity that many feminist women feel, ‘Oh, we’ve been trying to get away from that,’” said hooks.
Cox had a thoughtful response that ended with, "Am I feeding into the patriarchal gaze in my blond wigs?”
“Yes,” said hooks.
“It’s one of those things where I’m sort of like, here I am," responded Cox. "If I’m embracing a patriarchal gaze with this presentation, it’s the way that I’ve found something that feels empowering. And I think the really honest answer is that I’ve sort of constructed myself in a way so that I don’t want to disappear… I’ve never been interested in being invisible and erased. So a lot of how I’m negotiating these systems of oppression and trying not to be erased is perhaps by buying into and playing into some of the patriarchal gaze and white supremacy.”

FX The Americans in NYCC 2014
There were a few hints at The Americans season 3 and what fans may expect after a series of clips to catch up the novice fan and a little more than 30 minutes more from the panel.
Season three was confirmed to be set in 1983 with the Afghanistan War a key to the backdrop. “The war in Afghanistan will loom large this season,” Weisberg said.
Fields and Russell gave the biggest insight in the “parenting” theme on the show.
“For us the show is working best when Phillip, Elizabeth and the other characters are all struggling with things that everybody struggles with in their family and relationships,” Fields said. “But because of their situation, it’s on a much more heightened, life and death level.”
The Russian leadership has instructed training for Elizabeth and Phillip’s daughter Paige, played by Holly Taylor, but this be a challenge.
“I think there are so many layers for this moment as a mother for Elizabeth watching this daughter be of the age that she was when she began [working for the K.G.B.],” Russell said.
It’s given that Stan, played by Emmerich, will see his life continue to spiral downward. When a fan asked if Nina (Mahendru) could possibly be pregnant, there were no answers.
“[Weisberg and Fields] both just scribbled notes under the table,” Rhys joked.
The only thing Mahendru was “allowed” to tell the audience was that her character would be alive at the beginning of Season 3 – so, yes, it sounds likely that she is pregnant (or will be). (#SaveNina)
“We keep saying ‘Stan’s got to catch a break! He’s got to catch a break!’ and then he just doesn’t catch a break,” Weisberg said.
Rhys addressed a question about play acting as Phillip goes into a disguise. “I don’t have to be a great actor, I just have to convince the person in front of me.”
“I wish I could call it ‘research’ instead of ‘memory,’” Weisberg joked about researching the 1980’s tech after a fan question. “The fact that we have to use this old technology and our guys don’t have cell phones and can’t solve so many problems by calling each other makes a lot of our stories work and makes a lot of our stories more interesting.”
When prompted about the music on the show.
“Everything has hidden meanings on this show,” Fields laughed. “We come up with a lot in advance, but we don’t think about musical montages in advance. We think about story and character.”
Matthew Rhys, Noah Emmerich, Annet Mahendru and Keri Russel with The Americans showrunners
This show is perfect and everyone should watch it.

Zach Rance Reflects On His Intense Summer Bromance With Frankie Grande On Big Brother!!!!!!!!
The most recent season of Big Brother on CBS ended last month but the high-profile bromance between gay contestant Frankie Grande and straight contestant Zach Rance continues.
He knows people find it hard to believe their love for each other can be just a gay-straight bromance.
'I’m obviously straight, I’ve made that clear millions of times,' Rance tells Out.com.
'The fact that I was cuddling with a gay guy, giving him a massage, let’s be real - guys give other guys massages. It’s not a big deal. I don’t care that he was gay. If he tried to kiss me, I would have said, “no, it’s not like that,” and I would have continued to be friends with him.'
Rance thinks their affection for each other might inspire more such bromances.
'I feel like I was kind of a role model for people who might look at me and say, “Wow, Zach’s a really cool guy and he’s best friends with a gay guy.” We don’t know the impact it’s going to have on the world, but it’ll be a positive one.'

ONTD Original™: Favorite Stories in 15 Horror Anthologies
The horror anthology is a perfect format for those who want a little variety when they're looking for scares. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to wade through the bad to get to the good. Here are some favorites from fifteen anthologies.
 After Midnight (1989)Directed by Jim Wheat, Ken Wheat Plot: The professor of a course on fear holds an after hours gathering at his home. There, the students share scary stories: a couple seeks refuge inside a murder house; teenage girls are stalked by a pack of wild dogs; and an answering service operator is threatened by a madman. This Canadian sleeper from 1989 is perfect for a stormy night alone. It has the right balance of eighties scares and cheese. None of the stories are outright bad, but many viewers consider the one with Tracy Wells (the daughter from Mr. Belvedere) the weakest. |
|
 Amusement (2008)Directed by John Simpson Plot: Three childhood friends are stalked by someone from their shared past. Here is an unconventional anthology: the vignettes share continuity. The killer goes after each protagonist in separate, self-contained situations. It isn't until the end do you understand what's really going on. Although Amusement suffers from a weak script with some glaring problems, the production values are rather good for this indie slasher. |
|
 Black Sabbath (1963)Directed by Mario Bava Plot: A trio of atmospheric horror tales about: A woman terrorized in her apartment by phone calls from an escaped prisoner from her past; a Russian count in the early 1800s who stumbles upon a family in the countryside trying to destroy a particularly vicious line of vampires; and a 1900-era nurse who makes a fateful decision while preparing the corpse of one of her patients - an elderly medium who died during a seance. Some older Italian horror is an acquired taste. A common complaint is that they focus on style than substance. That's not entirely the case here as the scripts are quite coherent. Boris Karloff plays the host in this anthology from Mario Bava. |
|
 Body Bags (1993)Directed by John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper, Larry Sulkis Plot: A coroner shares the stories of three corpses: a student at a gas station is left alone with a serial killer; a balding man finds the strangest remedy to his hair loss; and a baseball player's eye transplant makes him homicidal. Horror legends John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper directed two of the offerings in this early '90s collection. Nothing groundbreaking here, but it's a solid compilation. |
|
 Campfire Tales (1997)Directed by Matt Cooper, Martin Kunert, David Semel Plot: After having a car accident, four teenagers share stories around a campfire: newlyweds are stalked by something sinister on their honeymoon; an Internet predator targets a young girl left home alone; and a traveling motorcyclist meets a mute woman caught in a ghostly time loop. ABC Family aired an edited version of the movie several years ago. So it's not exactly the scariest of the bunch. That being said, this is still a fun anthology as the cast is full of both familiar faces and stories. |
|
 Cat's Eye (1985)Directed by Lewis Teague Plot: A stray cat is the linking element of three tales of suspense and horror: a man resorts to extreme measures to quit smoking; a tennis pro is challenged to walk around the narrow ledge of a high rise penthouse; and finally, the cat finds a family where the daughter is being targeted by a troll. This was Drew Barrymore's second time as a lead in a Stephen King adaptation (the first being Firestarter). Unlike that movie, Cat's Eye is far more lighthearted. That might be an odd way to describe a horror movie, but just watch. |
|
 Creepshow (1982)Directed by George A. Romero Plot: Inspired by the E.C. comics of the 1950s, George A.Romero and Stephen King bring five tales of terror to the screen. This list wouldn't be complete without the two staples of horror anthology: Creepshow and Creepshow 2. You can tell this was a movie born out of love for the genre. While some of the vignettes pale in comparison to the stronger entries, the overall experience is a good one. |
|
 Creepshow 2 (1987)Directed by Michael Gornick Plot: The Creep shares three new scary stories: a Native American statue exacts revenge on its owners’ murderers; four people are attacked by a carnivorous blob in a lake; and a cheating wife faces the deadly consequences after committing a hit-and-run. Don't write Creepshow 2 off because it's a sequel. It's in the same vein as its predecessor, and all the stories are based on Stephen King shorts. One pro this movie has is that it's a lot tighter than the original. For one thing, there are only three segments so everything doesn't seem as rushed. |
|
 Dead of Night (1977)Directed by Dan Curtis Plot: This anthology tells three stories: a man buys a car that takes him back and forth through time; a tale of vampires; and a distraught mother asks for her drowned son to come back to life and gets more than she bargained for. This TV movie was directed by Dan Curtis, the guy behind Trilogy of Terror (and its sequel) and Dark Shadows. All three entries here are based on Richard Matheson (The Twilight Zone, I Am Legend, The Box, Stir of Echoes) shorts. |
|
 Nightmares (1983)Directed by Joseph Sargent Plot: Four frightening tales of terror and suspense: a woman goes out to buy cigarettes despite hearing news of a killer in the area; a teenager is sucked into the world inside of an arcade game; a disillusioned priest has his faith challenged when he encounters a mysterious black pickup truck; and finally, a family is tormented by a giant rat. The segments here were unaired episodes of the anthology TV series Darkroom. Along with some new footage, they were culled into Nightmares. |
|
 Terror Tract (2000)Directed by Lance W. Dreesen, Clint Hutchison Plot: As a real estate agent shows a couple several houses for sale, he recounts the macabre stories that accompany each home: an unfaithful housewife and her lover commit murder; a father battles a homicidal monkey; and a teenage boy experiences visions of a serial killer’s future victims. John Ritter appeared in many random movies and television shows before he died. In Terror Tract, he played the wraparound host in this assortment of scares. |
|
 Tales from the Darkside: The Movie (1990)Directed by John Harrison Plot: To avoid being a witch's dinner, a child tells her some scary stories. The teams behind the first two Creepshow movies never got around to completing the trilogy. Yes, there is a Creepshow 3, but it is abomination to film making. Considering the fact that Stephen King's "Cat from Hell" was meant to be in Creepshow 2, many fans regard the Darkside movie to be the real Creepshow 3. Every vignette (presented by a young Matthew Lawrence to Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry) here is enticing so it's hard to choose just one. |
|
 Tales from the Hood (1995)Directed by Rusty Cundieff Plot: An eccentric funeral director shares four stories to three criminals: the ghost of a man killed by crooked cops returns to take revenge; a teacher confronts the abusive father of one of his students; a racist politician running for office is attacked by dolls possessed by the spirits of tortured slaves; and finally, a violent gang member is subjected to an unusual punishment for his crimes. This is probably the heaviest anthology to date as each story touches upon some serious issues in society. That doesn't mean it's a complete chore to get through. There is a dark sense of humor to most of the narratives. |
|
 Trick 'r Treat (2007)Directed by Michael Dougherty Plot: Halloween serves as the backdrop to several spooky, interwoven stories: a woman suffers the consequences of taking her Halloween decorations down too early; a principal leads a secret life; some young women look for a few good men; a group of teenagers play a terrible prank; and an old man is visited by the spirit of All Hallow's Eve itself. If you know someone who hates this movie, remove them from your life immediately. This is perfect for the Halloween season, and it has rightfully become a modern day classic in the genre. |
|
 Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)Directed by Joe Dante, John Landis, George Miller, Steven Spielberg Plot: Three episodes of the original Twilight Zone series are remade and then accompanied by an original segment. It goes without saying that The Twilight Zone is one of the best, most creative shows in television history. How does the movie stand up? Not too bad. If you can get past the infamous tragedy that happened during the making of the movie, you'll probably find something here that suits your taste. |

This October, we’re unveiling a new section devoted to the Dark Arts, encompassing Horcruxes and other sinister wizarding artefacts, in our first permanent addition since opening.
The current Malfoy Manor fireplace will be expanded to showcase the full set which became the headquarters of Lord Voldemort’s followers, the Death Eaters, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1. A model of Voldemort’s snake Nagini will become the centrepiece of the original Malfoy Manor table.
Officially launching on Tuesday 14th October, the new section will also include a variety of never-before-seen artefacts and props from Borgin and Burkes, the Knockturn Alley shop.
A section of Dolores Umbridge’s Ministry of Magic office, including her garish kitten plates, perfectly putrid pink costumes and desk, will be on show as well.

Original Miss Saigon Cast Members Perform for the 25th Anniversary Gala Finale
To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Miss Saigon, a sell-out Gala performance took place at the Prince Edward Theatre, London. Featuring the cast of the new production, and the original company, including Jonathan Pryce, Lea Salonga and Simon Bowman. Since Miss Saigon's sensational record-breaking run at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane 25 years ago it has played in 300 cities in 15 different languages, winning awards around the world.
This epic musical love story tells the tragic tale of young bar girl Kim, orphaned by war, who falls in love with an American GI called Chris - but their lives are torn apart by the fall of Saigon.
Hopefully the full 25th Anniversary Gala will air on TV and/or be put on DVD at some point, much in the way the Les Miserables did with their own Anniversary Concert a few years back. In the meantime, if you want to hear the full production, BBC Radio 2 currently has the full three-hour event available to listen to on their site for the next six days. It's pretty fantastic, to say the least.

The full 3-hour even is up for streaming on BBC Radio 2.

IGN summarizes the clips shown at today's NYCC 'Daredevil' panel
Spoilers ahead!
The footage begins with Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) coming to her apartment on a rainy night. The door's ajar and all the lights are out. She enters gingerly, noticing blood stain on the floor. Understandably panicked, she reaches up into a vent to retrieve a cell phone stashed inside. As she turns to hightail it out of there, a man steps out from the shadows. It's Wesley (Toby Leonard Moore), who proceeds to throw her into the wall a couple of times, knocking her for a loop. He retrieves the phone she dropped in the struggle, whips out a switch blade and approaches her for the kill.
That's when we see Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) -- dressed in his black pro to-Daredevil suit straight out of Man Without Fear -- enter and immediately start brawling with Wesley. The fight is incredibly brutal and vicious, very much like the hand-to-hand combat scene in the Bourne films or the recent Bond movies. The sounds of punches, knife slashes, grunts, and damage act as the soundtrack. Matt and Wesley's brawl leads to them crashing out of the window together and down to the alley below. Matt tries to get up but he passes out face down on the road as the rain drenches him.

Hozier, ‘Saturday Night Live': 5 (3) Fast Facts You Need to Know
AKA "Why Hozier is relevant to ONTD's interests."
![]()
3. His Music Video Take Me To Church Kicked Off His Success
Rolling Stone reports on how Hozier’s popularity kicked off:
It all started in September of 2013, when he released the video for “Take Me to Church,” a dark, bluesy EP track that would also lead his album. The clip, which debuted during the furor over Russia’s anti-gay legislation last fall, depicts a gay couple who are pursued and eventually brutalized by an angry mob. After getting posted to Reddit, he watched as the video’s view count ticked up.
Have a look at the music video above. When talking about the message behind the video, Hozier told New York Magazine:
Coming from Ireland, obviously, there’s a bit of a cultural hangover from the influence of the church. You’ve got a lot of people walking around with a heavy weight in their hearts and a disappointment, and that shit carries from generation to generation … So the song is just about that — it’s an assertion of self, reclaiming humanity back for something that is the most natural and worthwhile … To me, it’s not even a gay issue or a civil rights issue, it’s a human rights isse, and it should offend us all. It’s just simple. Either somebody has equal rights, or they don’t. And certainly in the Irish constitution, marriage is genderless.
4. Hozier Posted His Cell Phone Number on Twitter
To celebrate his album, Hozier surprised fans a few days ago by posting his cell phone number on Twitter and telling them “give me a bell.” Many of them did just that and actually got to talk to the music artist. Hozier told Rolling Stone:
The idea came about because I was going to change my mobile number anyway. So I thought, for the last day before I do that, why don’t I just put my number out online and people can call me and tell me what they thought about the album or just to chat … It was the text messages that killed it. The phone was an old flip phone, and it just started seizing up. I turned it on [a few nights later] at 2 a.m. though, and people were still calling through.
5. The Best Singers Are Females, According to Hozier
Growing up, Hozier was a big fan of Nina Simone, telling The Guardian:
I think it all started with Nina Simone. When I was maybe 7 or 8 I used to listen to one of her albums every night before I went to sleep. For me her voice was everything … The best vocalists I can think of are female. There is no singer I can think of who can touch Ella Fitzgerald. And when Billie Holiday sings she’s merciless about it. Her voice has just this immaculate sadness – even in happy songs there was something that was so broken about it.

Also, he's really, really tall, and he looks like he looks.
Oh yeah, and his voice and album are fantastic.

— Hozier (@Hozier) October 7, 2014To celebrate his album, Hozier surprised fans a few days ago by posting his cell phone number on Twitter and telling them “give me a bell.” Many of them did just that and actually got to talk to the music artist. Hozier told Rolling Stone:
The idea came about because I was going to change my mobile number anyway. So I thought, for the last day before I do that, why don’t I just put my number out online and people can call me and tell me what they thought about the album or just to chat … It was the text messages that killed it. The phone was an old flip phone, and it just started seizing up. I turned it on [a few nights later] at 2 a.m. though, and people were still calling through.
5. The Best Singers Are Females, According to Hozier
Growing up, Hozier was a big fan of Nina Simone, telling The Guardian:
I think it all started with Nina Simone. When I was maybe 7 or 8 I used to listen to one of her albums every night before I went to sleep. For me her voice was everything … The best vocalists I can think of are female. There is no singer I can think of who can touch Ella Fitzgerald. And when Billie Holiday sings she’s merciless about it. Her voice has just this immaculate sadness – even in happy songs there was something that was so broken about it.

The characters on 'The Walking Dead' are tested and get to the depths of their soul
Melissa McBride's Carol becomes an ass-kicker, and Andrew Lincoln's Rick becomes more confident and dangerous.
BY Nicole Lyn Pesce
Melissa McBride's character, Carol Peletier, is getting tougher on "The Walking Dead."
“The Walking Dead” has a new badass.
The explosive season five premiere on Sunday at 9 p.m. hammers home the mantra that the hit AMC series has embraced since day one: Who do you have to become to survive the zombie apocalypse?
Look no further than Carol (played by Melissa McBride), one of only five survivors from the original Atlanta group, who’s risen from meek, abused wife to the ass-kicking heroine making impossible decisions.
“Who’s changed the most over the course of the show? Everyone would say Carol,” says showrunner Scott Gimple. “It’s remarkable that all of this tragedy has unlocked her inner strength.”
This new confidence comes at a cost. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) banished Carol from the group’s prison haven last season after she tried stemming a plague by killing two disease carriers in cold blood.
And she anchored one of the show’s most controversial scenes yet: shooting Lizzie, a troubled little girl, point blank after the child killed her own sister and threatened an innocent baby’s life.
“Carol is a very careful person, methodical, observant, and she knows what needs to be done,” says McBride. “So much of what she was preapocalypse has found its purpose. There is a usefulness in the adversity that she went through — looking constantly over her shoulder, knowing how to fix a dislocated shoulder.”
The darker “The Walking Dead” gets, the dirtier Carol’s hands get, as viewers will see in the season opener.
“Her role is whatever is demanded of her that day,” says McBride. “On the one hand, innately she is a very protective, nurturing person, but on the other hand, she’s learned to fight. There’s nothing to look forward to, really. We don’t know anything except what is right in front of us. And we definitely are more desperate now because resources are lower and lower, and threats are greater and greater.”
Yet viewers can’t get enough. “The Walking Dead” has been the most-watched show on cable for the past two years despite — or perhaps because of — its bleak subject matter.

DC Entertainment Announces 'Wonder Woman '77' Digital Comic
It’s been more than three decades since Lynda Carter hung up her satin tights and stopped fighting for our rights with the cancellation of the 1970s Wonder Woman series, but the battle continues in a new digital comic announced by DC Entertainment at ,New York Comic Con Sunday.
Wonder Woman ‘77 not only spins out of the television series that ran from 1975 to 1979, but also the current Batman ‘66 digital series that launched in 2013 to critical and fan acclaim. As with the latter series, Wonder Woman ‘77 will debut with weekly digital chapters that will later be collected in print (the digital series launches in December, with print versions “to be released early in 2015,” according to DC).
Written by Marc Andreyko, covers for the series will be provided by Nicola Scott. Artists for the stories themselves will be announced in the coming weeks.
Wonder Woman ‘77 was just one of three new digital series announced during DC’s Sunday “Download This!” panel, with the others being based on videogame properties. Mortal Kombat X, debuting in January 2015, will be based on the reboot for the popular game franchise that takes place 25 years after the previous installment, while Fables: The Wolf Among Us adapts the Telltale Games adaptation of Bill Willingham’s Fables comic book series from Vertigo. That title, like Wonder Woman ‘77, launches in December.
