Xbox One Reveal Includes Announcement Of Live Action HALO TV Series From Steven Spielberg

Posted: 21 May 2013 10:49 AM PDT

There has been a lot of talk of a Halo movie over the years, but it's a project which has never really been able to get off the ground for various reasons. However, during their reveal of the new Xbox One console, Microsoft confirmed that it will now be heading to the small screen. The live action television series will be shown exclusively on the system as their LA studio continues plans for "pioneering the future of TV." The project is being developed by 343 Industries and Steven Spielberg, although his exact role in the series is unknown at this point. This will presumably be the first of many original Xbox TV programming.

Southland: The Complete Fifth and Final Season DVD Debuts August 16th

Southland: The Complete Fifth and Final Season debuts on DVD August 16

An insider's look into LA's notorious police department, the Peabody Award-winning Southland follows the complex lives of the dedicated patrol officers and detectives as they struggle to protect the innocent and remain righteous amid the iniquities of the criminals around them. Marshaling felons, victims and a city seething with corruption and danger, Southland presents a glimpse into the professional and private lives of the LAPD unlike any other. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (WBHE) will release Southland: The Complete Fifth & Final Season on DVD August 13, 2013. This 2-disc DVD release contains all 10 explosive episodes from Season 5 and behind-the-scenes bonus content. The DVD is available to own for $39.98 SRP.

In the fifth and final season of this critically acclaimed series, Officers Cooper, Sherman and Bryant, as well as Detective Adams, face some of their toughest personal and professional challenges yet. A dominatrix in overdrive. A case of infanticide. A Robin Hood bank robber. Victims cooked by their killer. Rival gangs at a drug dealer's funeral. A tourist flattened by a Hollywood tour bus. On their darkest, most dangerous days, this is what L.A.'s beat cops and detectives confront on the sun-baked streets of the Southland. And the fallout seeps into their personal lives - collateral damage from a 24/7 job that demands an arsenal of razor-sharp instincts and quicksilver reflexes.

Here's what Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, TV and Special Interest Marketing, had to say about the show in a statement.

"Southland has been one of the most emotionally engaging and authentic police dramas on air in the last five years. While we're sad to see the show come to an end, we are excited to make Southland: The Complete Fifth & Final Season available on DVD, so the show's devoted fans can re-watch their favorite episodes and complete their collection."

Created by Ann Biderman (NYPD Blue, Public Enemies) and executive produced by Emmy winners Christopher Chulack (ER, Third Watch) and John Wells (ER, The West Wing, Shameless), Jonathan Lisco (K-Ville, NYPD Blue) and Andrew Stearn (Shameless, The West Wing), the Peabody Award-winning Southland stars Michael Cudlitz (Band of Brothers, A River Runs Through It), Shawn Hatosy (Dexter, Public Enemies), C. Thomas Howell (Spider-Man, The Outsiders), Regina King (Ray, Jerry Maguire) and Ben McKenzie (The O.C.).

In its fifth season, Southland attracted 2.3 million viewers each week. *

JURASSIC PARK 4 May Be A "Big Reboot" According To Original Star Sam Neill

Posted: 21 May 2013 10:15 AM PDT

A couple weeks ago, Universal postponed Jurassic Park 4 indefinitely. Originally slated for a June 13th, 2014 release, the latest draft for the fourth installment in the long-running dinosaur franchise was apparently "too epic and ambitious" to have out by that date. Filming was originally set to begin next month, but without a ready script and a locked cast, it would be impossible to have it out next summer without being rushed. While we wait for the next official announcement, actor Sam Neill - best known for playing Doctor Alan Grant in 1993's Jurassic Park and 2001's Jurassic Park III - told Stuff.co.nz that he will unlikely reprise the role for Jurassic Park 4. He doesn't detail why, but hints at the reason in a brief comment. "I'm told it's a big reboot, a total re-jig." Producer Frank Marshall said last year that the film will not be a reboot, but

EXCLUSIVE: Alia Shawkat Talks Arrested Development Season 4

Posted: 21 May 2013 01:07 AM PDT

Alia Shawkat talks the return of Maeby Funke in Arrested Development Season 4, debuting Sunday, May 26 on Netflix

At just 14 years of age, Alia Shawkat found herself starring alongside comedic all-stars such as Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and David Cross in the Fox comedy series Arrested Development as Maeby Funke. 10 years and numerous film and TV credits later, the actress and the rest of this talented Arrested Development cast is back with 15 brand new Season 4 episodes, debuting simultaneously Sunday, May 26 on Netflix. After attending the press conference a few weeks back, I was fortunate enough to sit down with Alia Shawkat one-on-one to discuss this comedy's return. Here's what she had to say.

Since each episode this season centers on a particular character, I was curious how many episodes you show up in, aside from your Maeby-centric episode?

Alia Shawkat: I was shooting a lot of scenes for the first two months, and my episode wasn't even written yet, so I'm doing things, but I wasn't knowing why or what I was doing, so (series creator) Mitch (Hurwitz) would have to answer those questions for us. Within one day, I'd be shooting scenes from five different episodes, so it's definitely confusing, but, as Jason (Bateman) said earlier, thank God I didn't have to keep that all in my head. They would bring me new scripts sometimes twice a day, to the point where I didn't want them to send them to me anymore, to save paper. I'll just show up on set and read the new pages. I don't need to read every script. But, yeah, Mitch has this crazy Arrested Development world circus in his head. You ask him any question, and he has the answer.

There are a lot of fan favorites who are coming back, like Carl Weathers and Henry Winkler. Who actually shows up in your Maeby-centric episode?

Alia Shawkat: I think some of it is a surprise. There are some new characters in my episode, and I think Henry Winkler is in mine, and Steve Holt (Justin Grant Wade), perhaps. I have a couple new characters that are strong, and Mort (Jeff Garlin) is back.

At the press conference, Michael (Cera) talked a bit about coming on the show at such a young age. During those first few seasons, was there anything you learned from all these guys that you will always take with you, about the craft?

Alia Shawkat: Yeah, definitely. I did the pilot when I was 14, and now I'm 24, so it's been a decade, part of that being on this show. It definitely formed, whether we liked it or not, our sensibility, our sense of humor, our timing, and the way we read scripts. Working on scripts like that, at such a young age, definitely made it harder for any other scripts to live up to that, especially the kind of character I played, the easily-rounded character. Since then, I've read God knows how many scripts that are just like a horrible interpretation of that, but, Maeby being such a well-done version of it, I was able to tell that difference. Yeah, I feel very lucky. You're able to work on something good, and it sharpens your palate.

I read you grew up in Riverside, which isn't exactly O.C., but were there aspects of your childhood and your upbringing that did mirror Maeby's path, in a way?

Alia Shawkat: To a degree, yeah. I have a slightly dysfunctional family, but still pretty functional, compared to this one. I grew up in Palm Springs, so there was this rich kid kind of vibe, old fathers, young mothers, people losing their money. The whole idea of false wealth was very prevalent where I grew up. I remember talking to Mitch about what it's kind of based off of, experiences he's had in his family, his in-laws and stuff, and it definitely relates. There's something about suburban wealth in California that is unlike anywhere else, and it's a funny, funny story to tell. Yeah, there are pieces I can definitely relate to.

Obviously you can't spill a whole lot, but is there a part of this Maeby-George Michael relationship that you're excited for fans to see in these new episodes?

Alia Shawkat: Honestly, I'm excited to see it too, because we shot a lot of stuff and I'm not necessarily sure what was chosen. It's obviously talked about and it's relevant, and it's in our episodes, but I think it's less on the nose than people might think. It's not exactly answered straight-forward. It's kind of like the way were were raised. Our reactions to our future relationships are affected by the way we were as kids together.

After all these years, is there a fan interaction that always sticks out for you?

Alia Shawkat: Everyone is pretty great, the fans. They know the show, so it's not like a fame-hungry attention-seeking thing. They're real fans, so they're very respectful. I did meet a girl on a subway once, and she just hugged me and she was kind of crying and asked me if I could come home with her. I chose not to, but yeah, there's definitely a strong kinship people feel. That's the strange idea of fame anyway. People feel like they know you, but my favorites are when people walk by and go, 'Hey, you're really funny.' And I go, 'Thank you.'

Is there any amount of creative freedom that you've noticed by doing this on Netflix now, as opposed to the first three seasons on Fox. Are there boundaries you get to push that you couldn't have otherwise?

Alia Shawkat: I think Mitch would probably recognize those differences more than I did as an actor, because it didn't affect me directly. Even when we were on Fox, it was challenging because of the ratings. Again, that never affected me directly, but Mitch was still able, even if it was more of a battle, he was pushing the creative envelope and getting things out, even when he's making fun of the network we were on, towards the end. He was never slighted, he was never dumbed down. He would just snap back in their face with something even funnier, before they realized they were being mocked. It is refreshing to have (Netflix chief content officer) Ted Sarandos on the set, laughing at every joke and is completely of the same spirit of Mitch and the show, which is let's just make the funniest thing ever. It really sets the vibe on set.

I was on the set of The to Do List a few years ago, but I don't think you were on the set that day. Do you play one of Aubrey (Plaza)'s friends?

Alia Shawkat: Yeah, I play Fiona, one of her best friends. It's a great, great cast, and I think it's going to be a very funny movie. A very fun summer flick.

I'm also very intrigued by Night Moves with director Kelly Reichardt. What was it like working with her?

Alia Shawkat: It was wonderful. It's funny, actually, because when we were shooting this, I had to leave for 10 days to shoot that, and it's a very different tone. It's very realistic and slow, but she's a wonderful director. Jesse Eisenberg was really wonderful to work with. It was very cool, but it was funny going on that tone, but then coming back to this, where it's really fast-paced and the words are quick. With Kelly, we would improv and takes would go on for 12 minutes and we would just find it. I felt very lucky to have these two very opposite styles of acting. I play a girl named Surprise, one of the interns.

If Netflix picks up even more episodes, is there something you've always been dying to do with Maeby that you would want to explore, if given the chance?

Alia Shawkat: I could never come up with as many good ideas as they do, but I remember Mitch once emailed me, and asked if I could do a Liza Minnelli impression. I was looking up YouTube videos and trying, but it never made it into the script. I wouldn't mind trying that.

Do you think the way this season was shot may revolutionize television in any way? I know it's very hard to do something like this without a model like Netflix, but do you see others maybe taking off from this format?

Alia Shawkat: It's been interesting, the last seven years, to see how the original show affected so many shows, the way shows are shot, and the dysfunctional family aspect. I guess mimicking is a form of flattery. I think that this format is a very challenging one, and Mitch is maybe the only genius who can pull it off. This format is really special, especially for the fans, because he's giving them so much more content, all in this one big web, instead of piecemeal. It's very impressive, and if anyone else can pull it off, I'd like to see them try. I think any good art inspires more art.

You said the ratings when you were on Fox didn't really affect you, but is it still a relief to not have to worry about that at all on Netflix?

Alia Shawkat: Definitely. Again, I wouldn't focus on it as much, but every week, we'd come back, and I'd hear Jason (Bateman) and people talking about how we didn't do so well, and we were in competition with something else, or how we got bumped again, and American Idol was taking our spot. We never have a problem with ratings. We don't need advertising. They used to say they never knew how to advertise the show. Just put up a f---ing billboard, I don't know. So, I think there is some bitterness that formed because of it, just because it was such a good show, and we wanted people to see it. But, as Jason said, three seasons in America, that's a great amount of episodes to tell a story. It's great to come back, because it's a unique way of telling it, but I think we had our due diligence. The only thing that I thought was frustrating was if Mitch ever felt like it wasn't good enough. Now he knows more than ever that it was too good. That was the problem.

They talked about how this is going to be the first act of three acts.

Alia Shawkat: Yes, I had just heard that since I've been here. That's very intimidating.

Has Mitch shared anything with you about how the second act might play out?

Alia Shawkat: Sometimes, when we're talking about a story line we're shooting, I'll ask a question, he would say, 'Oh, and she does this, and this and this.' I'm like, 'Wait, what?' And he says, 'Oh, that's not for awhile.' I think part of the reason why Mitch is such a genius is he's so present, not only as a person, but creatively. When one thought leaves, a really strong fresh one comes out. That's rare to see in any person, and I think that's what makes him so smart. He's very focused on one step at a time. Even though there is the thought of a movie and 2,500 new episodes, who knows what will happen. He's still editing, and I just want to work one step at a time, like he does.

Great. That's my time. Thank you so much.

Alia Shawkat: Yeah, thank you very much.

You can watch Alia Shawkat as Maeby Funke in Season 4 of Arrested Development, debuting in its entirety Sunday, May 26 on Netflix.

Pics! Tiger and Lindsey Take Kids to School… Together

Posted: 21 May 2013 09:48 AM PDT

On Monday, Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn took Tiger Woods' kids to school solo, but on Tuesday, lovebirds Lindsey and Tiger took them as a team.

The couple was spotted taking Woods' two kids with ex-wife Elin Nordegren -- Sam, 5, and Charlie, 4 -- to school in North Palm Beach, Fla.

Examiner.com reports that according to the divorce agreement between Woods and Nordegren, Tiger is not to expose their children to any of his female companions unless approved by Elin herself. It seems that Vonn must have received that stamp of approval.

Vonn and Woods announced their relationship via Facebook in March, and have been public about their romance ever since.
