He may be invincible, but he sure isn’t speedy. Almost two years after its March 2021 premiere, the Amazon Prime Video animated series “Invincible” announced that it will premiere its second season…during a vague “late 2023” window.
The news was accompanied by an announcement teaser, featuring main protagonist Mark (voiced by Steven Yeun) and Allen the Alien (Seth Rogen) dining at a burger joint, where Allen lampoons the long wait between seasons.
“What have you been up to? It’s been a while,” Rogen quips as Allen. “I think everyone agrees it’s been, like, a little ridiculous how long it’s been.”
“I’ve been busy writing, designing, storyboarding, voice acting, key posing, in-betweening, cleaning up, color slapping, comping the whole thing, and all that for, you know, roughly thousands of shots,” Yeun replies. “So, it’s kind of a lot.”

After two years without an update, “Invincible” is back … almost. The series is set to return for its second season on Amazon Prime Video in late 2023, as was revealed in a teaser featuring Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) and Allen the Alien (Seth Rogen) discussing the upcoming episodes.
“What have you been up to? It’s been awhile,” Allen says to Mark as they dine at Burger Mart. “I think everyone agrees it’s been, like, a little ridiculous how long it’s been.”
“I’ve been busy writing, designing, storyboarding, voice acting, key posing, in-betweening, cleaning up, color slapping, comping the whole thing, and all that for, you know, roughly thousands of shots,” Mark replies. “So, it’s kind of a lot.”

Austin Stoker, the actor from Trinidad who starred as the heroic cop battling a band of marauding gang members inside a decommissioned police station in the John Carpenter thriller Assault on Precinct 13, has died. He was 92.
Stoker died Friday of renal failure on his birthday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, his wife, Robin, told The Hollywood Reporter. “His transition was beautiful,” she said.
Stoker also portrayed Macdonald, the human assistant of Roddy McDowall’s Caesar, in Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973), the fifth and final chapter in the original movie series, and he was Brick Williams, the love interest of Pam Grier’s private investigator, in Sheba, Baby (1975).
On the landmark 1977 ABC miniseries Roots, he played Virgil Harvey, father of Olivia Cole‘s Mathilda.

Updated with latest: Just days after being pummeled by Hurricane Ian, Universal Orlando Resort has announced that tomorrow, October 1, the resort will be open to all guests. A “phased reopen” began today for guests of the resort’s hotels who rode out the storm there. The resort’s popular Halloween Horror Nights will also be open to all guests starting tomorrow.
It’s still unclear exactly how much of the park is open, given the extensive flooding and — in the case of the giant building that houses Jurassic Park River Adventure — structural damage. More on that below.
According to the park’s announcement, its Volcano Bay reopened today.

British playwright Tom Stoppard has developed a sort of brilliant and brainy drawing-room comedy-drama that is his unmistakable signature. From the enigmatic "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" in 1967 to his latest, "The Invention of Love" (playing at London's National Theatre), Stoppard has managed to blend an inordinate amount of research, dazzling language and fascinating ideas. Along the way, he's managed to win a couple Tonys and New York Drama Critics Awards.
All this is vital preamble to Stoppard's "The Real Thing" (written in 1982). At best, it's solid stuff -- still a far cry from a Stoppard production at its best. Somehow, director Sheldon Epps has let the production flatten out and become much too academic and preachy.
Stoppard is never meant to be preachy. He's clever, biting, witty, passionate, ironic, enigmatic and full of incredible language and questions about the nature of writing (Stoppard is one of theater's great wordsmiths in the tradition of Shakespeare) and tenuous and ever-changing human relationships. With Stoppard, you really have to lean in, listen and ultimately work.
When the show was first staged more than a decade ago, it was done swiftly with a series of shifting panels, which blended past and present into a continuum -- part of Stoppard's conceit. With the revolving set of scenic designer James Leonard Joy and the lighting of Michael Gilliam, "The Real Thing" seems slower and set in an onstage world of reality instead of Stoppard's world of poetic leaps and bounds, where anything goes.
"The Real Thing" centers on playwright Henry (the apt Jeff Allin) and his search for the core of relationships, especially with his former actress-wife Charlotte (the solid Colette Kilroy), his current actress-wife Annie (the lovely Christina Haag) and teenage daughter Debbie (Annie Meisels, who is quite good). Scott Ferrara, David Purdham and David Mann add able support.
Against this backdrop of backstage relationships is the onstage business of Henry's plays, in which actors appear to act out their backstage relationship. As such, we get to see it both ways, once as theater and once as life, hence "the real thing." Soon the fact and the fiction blend, and we are left with the task of sorting things out for ourselves. It's not a simple task but well worth the effort.
