1988’s Dirty Rotten Scoundrels isn’t often cited as the best that 1980s comedy had to offer, but it did have one thing going for it – Steve Martin at his absolute best.
With Michael Caine infusing his successful conman with pomposity and pretentiousness, Martin took the role of Freddy Benson and made it as memorable as any other he performed during his decade at the pinnacle of Hollywood comedy.
Which is why it’s baffling that Chris Addison’s 2019 remake fails to update the script, rather, the movie asks Rebel Wilson to achieve the impossible feat of repeating Martin’s antics and elevating a decent, if somewhat lightweight story to comedy glory.
Wilson plays Penny, a small-time con artist who ‘catfishes’ young men by convincing them they’re going to meet the woman of their dreams. When they meet her instead, should they show the requisite level of disappointment, she...

“The Hustle” is rated PG-13. Like many movies before it, however, the Anne Hathaway/Rebel Wilson comedy initially received an R from the MPAA and had to petition to have that reduced. Speaking to Yahoo!, Wilson claimed that sexism contributed to the harsh rating — not least because “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” of which “The Hustle” is a female-fronted remake, was classified as PG.
“I thought it was extremely unfair that a reboot of that was given an R-rating just because us two sexy ladies were in it,” the actress said. Steve Martin and Michael Caine starred in “Scoundrels,” which was released in 1988 — four years after the PG-13 rating was implemented.
“I thought it was quite sexist that male-driven comedies were much more likely to get PG ratings…when, on a scientific analysis, female-driven comedies had less swear words, less nudity and less violence,” Wilson added.

What should've been a clever reworking of a funny setup leaves Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson with little to play with in The Hustle.
In the opening to The Hustle, Anne Hathaway introduces us to a fun world in the south of France. All you see are layers of deception, dressed up in glitz and glam. That’s the movie I signed up for. Unfortunately, this gender-swapped remake of a remake hews too close to its predecessors, afraid to bring something new and different to the table. It’s a shame, because most of what’s new and different is funny, and even a bit subversive, like the quack doctor plot or Rebel Wilson’s fake boob scam. It is what people will likely be coming to see—there’s just not enough of it.

Those who attended Solo: A Star Wars Story during its theatrical run were treated to an entertaining adventure story, leavened with the patented humor derived from the original trilogy. It was well cast, well produced, and enjoyable. All the behind the scenes contretemps in no way spoiled the final product, which is out tomorrow from Disney Home Entertainment on a variety of discs and packages.
Yes, the version that was shot under directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller would have been dramatically different, perhaps too different for the Lucasfilm executives. We have no way of knowing since no footage has been released. The casting didn’t change and incoming Ron Howard was a good choice, able to get things up and running smoothly and delivering a satisfying movie.

Timbaland will write and produce music for Empire, the hip-hop music drama from Lee Daniels and Danny Strong.
There seems to be plenty of strong reactions to last night‘s How I Met Your Mother, fueling a certain fan theory about how the series ends. I’m still rooting for the show ending in divorce, that’s the only way I can justify the way they’ve made Ted such a jerk this season.
Virginia Madsen has joined the cast of NBC’s revised Babylon Fields pilot. Madsen’s career choices have been oddly hit-and-miss (anyone remember Scoundrels?) I’m hoping this is one of her better shows.

Alicia Silverstone will be returning to TV as the lead in Lifetime's "Hr," Deadline reports.
The actress, who most recently visited her "Clueless" co-star Jeremy Sisto for a stint on "Suburgatory," will play "the uptight Director of Human Resources for a global company who, after a head injury alters her outlook on life, throws standard corporate practices out the window and inspires the business to strive for new ambitions and profits."
Deadline reports that although the pilot was initially ordered last year, the pickup was contingent upon casting a recognizable lead, so the network spent time making sure that they'd found the right actress for the job.

Lifetime explored one version of Egyptian queen Cleopatra in their Elizabeth Taylor biopic, "Liz & Dick," starring Lindsay Lohan, in 2012. Now, though, they're taking on another version of the legendary pharaoh.
Deadline reports that Lifetime is developing a four-hour miniseries written by Robert Port of "Numbers" and produced by Michael Goldstein and Mike Larkin ("Scoundrels").
Cleopatra, the final pharaoh in ancient Egypt, was known for her extraordinary beauty and her tumultuous affairs with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony of Rome.
According to historians, Cleopatra ultimately committed suicide, though her method remains unclear. Some say she died by encouraging a cobra to bite her, others that she drank poison or applied a toxic ointment.

Leven Rambin will trade the luxuries of District 1 for the hallowed halls of Mount Olympus as she joins the cast of "Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters," according to Variety.
Rambin, who can currently be seen in theaters as Glimmer in "The Hunger Games," will play the role of Clarisse, the daughter of Ares, the God of War. Besides being something of a perfectionist, Clarisse has also picked up a skill or two from dear old dad when it comes to fighting.
The "Hunger Games" loser (well, her and 21 others, to be fair) joins an ensemble that includes returning cast members Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, Jake Abel and Booker T. Washington, as well as new cast members Nathan Fillion (Hermes) and Anthony Head (Chiron). The sequel deals with Percy's quest to brave the Sea of Monsters in search of the mythical Golden Fleece.

Dina Meyer is on her way back to Beverly Hills.
The actress - who played California University professor Lucinda Nicholson on the original 90210 and who may have been one of the first women ever crushed on by a certain TV Fanatic Editor-in-Chief - has landed a key role on the new CW version of this drama.
But not, alas, as the same character.
Michael Ausiello confirms that Meyer will portray a modeling agent who works with Liam later on this season. She will appear in at least one episode next month.
The actress has also enjoyed stints on Scoundrels, CSI and NCIS.
90210 is on hiatus for a week and then returns on November 1 with a Halloween-themed episode previewed Here.

Take a gander at the various Emmy nomination ballots and you'll quickly discover something: Almost everyone puts their name in for a nomination.
It doesn't matter if the show died a quick and painless death, if it was critically derided for much of its short run, it's so obscure no one has ever heard of it, or it's an established -- and sometimes quite good -- show whose chances of being nominated are about the same as our seeing dinosaurs roaming the planet in our lifetimes.
This isn't an ego thing, surprisingly enough; the academy encourages casts and crews from all shows to submit themselves for a nomination, likely under the axiom that you've got to be in it to win it (did you hear that, Charlie Sheen?). What this all-inclusive attitude can lead to, though, is some pretty funny discoveries.
So, let's pretend that we're in the Bizarro world...

According to reports, NBC TV affiliate Ksl-tv in Utah will not carry the new 1960's-era dramatic series "The Playboy Club".
"The 'Playboy' brand is known internationally," said Ksl President and CEO Mark Willes. "Everyone is clear what it stands for. We want to be sure everyone is clear what the Ksl brand stands for, which is completely inconsistent with the Playboy brand."
"...It's the early 1960's, and the legendary 'Playboy Club' in Chicago is the door to all of your fantasies -- with the 'key', the most sought-after status symbol of its kind. Inside the seductive world of the 'Bunny', an epitome of beauty and service, clientele rub shoulders with the decade's biggest mobsters, politicos and entertainers.

TNT and TBS, which staged their Upfront presentation today in New York, are making bold moves to bolster their remarkably strong foundations in original programming. The networks are developing extensive new lineups of scripted and unscripted series and making a new push into half-hour comedy in partnership with some of the top talents in the industry, from award-winning actors to acclaimed producers, writers and best-selling authors.
This year marks the beginning of production of the final season of the blockbuster hit, The Closer, starring Emmy® winner Kyra Sedgwick. TNT confirmed today that it has ordered a 10-episode season of Major Crimes, a series set in the Los Angeles Police Department that promises to become television’s next great crime drama.

It looks like Andy Richter will be stepping from behind the podium on Conan to another podium (I am guessing) for a new game show on TBS entitled Pyramid. The show is reportedly a modern-day take on the iconic game show that began asThe $10,000 Pyramid.

Here are clips from NBC's 2011-2012 drama lineup. The shows include Prime Suspect, The Playboy Club, Smash, Grimm, Awake, and The Firm. Earlier we shared the comedy clips and the schedule. I have been interested in The Playboy Club since when it was first announced. Smash looks pretty cool as well. Check out the clips below and share your thoughts!
Prime Suspect:
‘Prime Suspect’ -- Based on the critically acclaimed British television series of the same name, "Prime Suspect" has been redeveloped for American audiences by writer Alexandra Cunningham ("Desperate Housewives," "NYPD Blue"), director Peter Berg (NBC's "Friday Night Lights") -- and stars Maria Bello ("A History of Violence") as tough-as-nails Detective Jane Timoney. Timoney finds that being a homicide detective in New York City is tough enough and having to contend with a male-dominated police department to get respect makes it that much tougher.

It's that time again, and NBC has revealed it's 2011-2012 schedule. A couple of things have been kicked to the curb, and a host of new shows are coming to fill things in. I have a preview of the new fall shows, and the full schedule for you. There are a few surprises on the cut and not cut side of things, and the new shows have a bit of something for everyone. As usual, some of the ones that look the best to me are reserved for mid-season. And, NBC has apparently given up on Saturday altogether.
It's a whole lot of info, so let's just jump in.
NBC has introduced its 2011-12 primetime schedule, showcasing six new dramas and six new comedies from a roster of renowned hit-makers that includes Steven Spielberg, Lorne Michaels, Brian Grazer, Tom Werner, John Grisham and Peter Berg, among many others.

NBC will aggressively try to right a ratings-challenged ship by programming 12 new programs over the year — 6 new dramas and 6 new comedies. Many of them won’t premiere until mid-season and “30 Rock” won’t return until then either, running uninteruppted from that point (not unlike “Parks and Recreation” did this year). In other major news, the final, 13-episode season of “Chuck” will air on Friday nights.
The returning shows for the network include “Parenthood,” “Harry’s Law,” “Chuck,” “Community,” “Parks and Recreation,” “The Office,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “The Voice,” “The Sing-Off,” “The Celebrity Apprentice,” “The Biggest Loser,” “30 Rock,” and “Dateline NBC.”

One Tree Hill covered the idea of having children this week, along with the relationships these children then have with their parents. It wasn't as good as some recent episodes, but not nearly as bad as some earlier in the season.
Let's start with Brooke and Julian, who were attempting to adopt a baby from a 19-year old pregnant woman played by Leven Rambin. Rambin seems to be in everything these days. After I first disliked her character in The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I proceeded to dislike her characters in Grey's Anatomy, the two episodes of Scoundrels I watched, and ,most recently, as a red head in Wizards of Waverly Place (yes, you read that correctly).

Fresh off his January 7 appearance on CSI: NY, beloved Jag alum David James Elliott has already booked a return visit, TVLine has learned.
Earlier this month, Dje guested on CBS’s hit Friday-night procedural as Russ Josephson, the FBI agent ex-husband of Sela Ward’s Detective Jo Danville. The first time around, the former marrieds compared notes on a cross-jurisdictional case, and we definitely saw sparks hinting at lingering feelings ‘tween the two.
For his encore, which is slated to air in April, Russ returns to support Jo through a difficult family situation — as well as aid Mac with an ongoing murder investigation.
