Here's a First Look at Johnny Depp in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales'

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
It’s been long-delayed, and it’s still more than two years from release, but moviegoers now have their first official photo from the set of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.”

The shot, shared by producer Jerry Bruckheimer on Twitter, features Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in some hot water. He’s tied to a ship’s mast, surrounded by other pirates, and has an “oh, crap” look on his face that suggests he has a lot of work to do to get out of whatever scrape he’s in this time.
There’s still no official plot for the film, and only a handful of cast members have been confirmed, though that shouldn’t stop audiences from flocking to the flick. The fifth entry in the “Pirates” franchise centers around the evil Captain Brand (Javier Bardem), and rumored return of original series star Orlando Bloom.

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” is currently shooting in Australia. It’s due in theaters on July 7, 2017.

Lori Loughlin Says Money Drama Is Delaying 'Fuller House' Cast Negotiations

Hallmark Channel & Hallmark Movie Channel's 2015 Winter TCA Party - Arrivals
When news of the upcoming “Full Housespinoff “Fuller House” was revealed, it appeared that most, if not all, of the original cast was on board for the project. But when John Stamos confirmed the project this week, several key cast members were still hammering out deals to return – and now one former costar has revealed why.

In an interview with Access Hollywood Live, Lori Loughlin, who played Aunt Becky on the show, revealed that she wants to return for the new series, but indicated that unequal contracts (a.k.a. wildly different salaries) were the main sticking point for the remaining actors, including Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Per Access Hollywood:

“I don’t know,” she said when asked if she’s coming back for the Netflix revival.

“They made deals with half the cast, but not the other half,” she told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover. “I don’t have a deal, Dave doesn’t have a deal, Bob, we’re all in negotiations.

"I think we would all like to come back, if the powers that be are fair to all of us,” she continued.


Loughlin also revealed that the entire cast was in discussions to reunite for a one-hour reunion show, but that all depends on whether the Olsen Twins will come back – and whether or not the remaining actors can work out their financial issues. Loughlin told Access Hollywood that the Olsens (who famously announced they were done with acting a couple years ago) aren’t concerned with the money aspect, and may end up not participating at all. But the actress said she hoped she would be there when the cameras start to roll.

“We want to be there, we want to come back. It’s up to them,” Loughlin told Access Hollywood of her former co-stars. “It’s not on us, it’s on them.”

“Fuller House” will focus on D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), her best friend Kimmy (Andrea Barber), and her younger sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) raising their respective families together, much like in the original ABC series. Stamos, who’s also producing the project, will also reprise his role as Uncle Jesse. The show is set for a 13-episode run on Netflix.

The New 'The Little Prince' Trailer Is Emotional & Gorgeous

The Little Prince
A new international trailer for “The Little Prince” takes viewers on a fantastical voyage, offering breathtaking visuals and evoking lots of heartstring tugging along the way.

The flick is the first feature-length, animated adaptation of the classic French novella, “Le Petit Prince,” by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, and boasts a stellar voice cast that includes Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, James Franco, Marion Cotillard, and Benicio Del Toro.

The full synopsis, per Variety:

The multilayered animated tale centers around a little girl (Mackenzie Foy) who lives with her mother (McAdams) and gets initiated by her eccentric yet kind-hearted neighbor, the Aviator (Bridges), into a magical world where anything is possible - a world that the Aviator himself was initiated into long ago by the Little Prince (played by newcomer Riley Osborne).


That “multilayered” descriptor also applies to the film’s animation itself, which is a mix of different media, including computer animation and intricate, papercut stop-motion. The painstaking level of detail on display in the trailer is jaw-dropping, every pixel packed with a visual punch. The clip also boasts a haunting, soaring score that will leave your heart full and your eyes a little misty.

Watch the beautiful trailer below. “The Little Prince” is set to debut at the Cannes Film Festival, and has a July 29 release date in France. A U.S. release date is forthcoming.

Ewan McGregor to Play Lumiere in 'Beauty and the Beast'

2nd Annual unite4:humanity Presented By ALCATEL ONETOUCH - Red Carpet
It looks like the upcoming live-action version of “Beauty and the Beast” has found its Lumiere: The Hollywood Reporter writes that Ewan McGregor is in final negotiations to take the part.

According to the trade, McGregor’s involvement is all but a done deal. He’s the last major actor to be cast, and will play Lumiere, the smooth-talking servant who’s turned into a candelabra, and memorably belts out the classic tune, “Be Our Guest.”

McGregor’s most memorable on-screen singing came in Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 musical “Moulin Rouge.” The actor joins a long list of impressive talent set to star in “Beauty,” including Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Emma Thompson, Ian McKellen, Josh Gad, Audra McDonald, and Kevin Kline.

“Beauty and the Beast,” based on the 1991 animated Disney classic, is directed by Bill Condon. It’s due in theaters on March 17, 2017.

'Inside Amy Schumer' Renewed for Season 4

Inside Amy Schumer
Good news, “Inside Amy Schumer” fans: The show just got picked up for a fourth season, ahead of its season three premiere.

Schumer made the announcement herself during an appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman” on Monday night, where she told the host she just got word about the pickup before heading out onstage. Letterman congratulated the comedienne, and the duo chatted about the highs and lows of working on series television, where Schumer quipped that the annual effort doesn’t get any easier, but “I find I’m getting easier.”

In a statement released Tuesday, Comedy Central praised the show and Schumer.

“We love being ‘Inside Amy Schumer’ and are thrilled our audience agrees,” said Kent Alterman, president of content development and original programming at the network.

“I’m so happy to keep the 'Inside Amy Schumer’ family together,” Schumer added in her own statement. “Excited and scared for everyone to see what we do next.”

There’s certainly a lot for Schumer to be excited about: She just snagged a prestigious Peabody Award for the series, landed a spot on Time’s annual 100 Most Influential People list, hosted the MTV Movie Awards to much fanfare, and is set to star in her first feature film, “Trainwreck,” which she wrote.

Season three of “Inside Amy Schumer” premieres tonight (Tuesday) on Comedy Central at 10:30 p.m. This season will feature plotlines about birth control, dating a rapper, and standing trial in front of an all-male jury. A heavy-hitting roster of big-name guest stars includes Jerry Seinfeld, Paul Giamatti, Dennis Quaid, Jeff Goldblum, Josh Charles, Method Man, Colin Quinn, Kumail Nanjiani, Rob Morrow, Kathy Najimy, America Ferrara, Natasha Lyonne, Abbi Jacobson, Ilana Glazer, Jemima Kirke, Justin Long, Amber Tamblyn, Wyatt Cenac, Jennifer Coolidge, Mike Birbiglia, Michael Ian Black, Rachel Dratch, Eugene Mirman, Bill Nye, and Jon Dore.
