Not having seen our favorite super spy grace cinemas since late 2015, moviegoers such as myself couldn’t help but become excited upon hearing last week’s news stating that the next entry in the enduring James Bond franchise has been slated for November of 2019. With that, it’s only expected that plot details emerge in due time.
Naturally, it didn’t go unnoticed when reports surfaced yesterday stating that said film is set to be based on Raymond Benson’s novel Never Dream of Dying, and that the studio supposedly thought it would serve as a fine followup to Spectre. And seeing as how Benson has built quite the reputation for himself in the spy genre having written not only Bond novels, but also ones pertaining to Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell (the latter was done under the pen name of “David Michaels,” one shared by several authors who...

The producers of Midnight Rider will fight federal charges that they committed workplace safety violations in the February 20 accident that killed 27-year-old camera assistant Sarah Jones. Production company Film Allman, set up by director Randall Miller and producer Jody Savin for the Gregg Allman biopic, was slapped with an Osha fine of $74,900 last month for “one willful and one serious safety violation” in the tragedy. They had until today to pay or dispute the charges. Today the filmmakers issued a notice of contest for both violations and the fine, a Department of Labor rep tells Deadline.
This is just the latest legal tangle for Miller and Savin. Along with producer Jay Sedrish, the filmmakers were each charged with involuntary manslaughter and criminal trespassing by prosecutors in Wayne County, Ga. All three pleaded not guilty. They’re also named among a litany of co-defendants in a wrongful death civil suit filed...

The Daytime Emmys are about to enter a brave new world. "All My Children" and "One Life to Live," cancelled by ABC before being revived by Prospect Park on the internet in 2013, will be the first web shows to compete in drama series categories. However, after being embroiled in false-starts, legal conflicts, and re-cancellation, how will these online off-shoots be received anew by Daytime Emmy voters? They might do very well, according to David Michaels, senior executive director of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, who told Michael Logan of TV Guide Magazine, "Our entry deadline was last Friday, Jan. 17, and we've had a lot of great submissions from 'AMC' and 'Oltl' — in fact, we've set an extreme record for the number of entries this year … From the look of Prospect Park's submissions, I think they'll give the four network soaps a real run for their money when it comes t.

'In May, we have an awards committee meeting. We're going to start discussing that now,' Michaels reveals. 'There are a bunch of different ways to go. They are obviously going to be eligible for the contest; we're just trying to decide how they should be eligible.'"

Now that "One Life to Live" and "All My Children" are off TV and heading to webcast, we know where they stand in the current Daytime Emmy competition. "One Life to Live" is in the running because it aired sufficient episodes on TV in the eligibility period, but not "All My Children." -Insertgroups:12- But what about next year when both shows will exist exclusively on line? Will they be permitted to compete alongside their sister soaps in the same categories? "No determination as of yet," David Michaels, chief of Daytime at the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, tells Gold Derby. "This will be a discussion at the next award committee meeting." If this question pertained to the Primetime Emmys (which are administered by that other TV academy, the one based in Los Angeles), there would be no mystery. Program delivery system doesn't matter. Broadcast television competes against webcasts.

New York -- David Hasselhoff still feels a connection with the younger generation, even though his popular TV series "Baywatch" has been off the air for more than a decade.
"When Justin Bieber comes up and goes, `Hoff!' and then Selena Gomez says, `It's so weird he loves you,' it's great. It just means that you're hip and it's cool," the 60-year-old actor said in a recent interview.
"Baywatch" aired from 1989 to 2000. Hasselhoff also starred in the TV series "Knight Rider," which aired from 1982 to 1986.
To stay part of the conversation, Hasselhoff keeps busy and is always working. He stars in a Lifetime movie "The Christmas Consultant," opposite Caroline Rhea, that airs Saturday (8 p.m. Est). He will tweet backstage for MTV at Sunday's European Music Awards and play Captain Hook in a Peter Pan pantomime in December in Manchester, England.

Warner Bros has claimed a "significant victory" in the long-running Superman rights legal battle. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that Marc Toberoff, the lawyer representing the estates of Superman co-creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, must turn over documents that were stolen from his office in 2008. The papers were taken by disgruntled former associate David Michaels from Toberoff's office and delivered anonymously to Warner Bros, the owner of Superman publisher DC Comics. The majority of the papers were judge privileged and Warner Bros was ordered to return them within 24 hours, although one document not included became the basis of a suit launched against Toberoff in 2010. > 'Superman' rights cheque fetches $$160,000 (more)...

Warner Bros. has prevailed at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in a challenge made by one of its legal adversaries, Marc Toberoff, who represents the estates of Superman co-creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, over the use of stolen documents. In the midst of working on the case to terminate the studio's rights to Superman, many of Toberoff's documents were taken by one of his former associates, David Michaels, who, reportedly frustrated by his own unsuccessful attempt to solicit business from the Superman heirs, sent the sensitive documents to Warners' offices. The documents pertained to the months where Toberoff had approached the
