Darren Criss, Grant Gustin How evil, or stupid, is Sebastian anyway? Up to now, everyone knows the self-assured Dalton Academy Warbler - also called Glee's christened Season 3 villain -- has sex and Blaine round the brain and hardly anything else. And based on his looks to date, his personal advertisements ad probably reads something such as this: "Likes -Body-evening stands, Blaine 'sex around the stick' Anderson, Lima, Ohio's finest gay dive bar, Ripoffs, and periodic getting a go of Courvoisier." Oh, which he used to exist in Paris, plays Lacrosse and contains fought against combat Kurt.

Universal Orlando will get new points of interest

New Spider-Guy ride opens in MarchUniversal revealed plans Wednesday to include new points of interest to the Orlando amusement park this season included in the company's celebration of their 100th anniversary. The primary attraction is "Universal's Motion picture Spectacular," a night time light and pyrotechnics show, read by Morgan Freeman, which will project images from U movies onto three screens produced by waterfalls in the center of Universal Galleries Florida's lagoon. The 20-minute show will bow this spring. "This really is greatly a large finish-of-day spectacular," stated Jim Timon, Universal Orlando's senior Vice president of entertainment. "This is actually the large show we send our visitors served by, using the Universal logo and message and emotion and impact." Concept is comparable to those of Disneyland's "Realm of Color," that has demonstrated a large draw at California Adventure, particularly with families -- and U is searching to draw in more families to the own parks. Playing into that theme, Universal will even introduce early in the year a regular "Celebrity Parade" featuring floats with figures from "Wretched Me," "Hop," "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Dora the Explorer." Each float is made to act as its very own show with effects and musical score that may be featured round the park if not within the parade. Universal parks only from time to time offered character parades, mainly throughout the holiday season they're commonplace at Disney's locations. The nightly show and daily parade are the most known additions since U opened up the "Wizarding Realm of Harry Potter" attraction this year. But Universal is at the time of opening more rides and points of interest within the Orlando resort's history, and they're going to be featured inside a new "Year to become Here" campaign. An up-to-date "Amazing Adventures of Spider-Guy" ride, at Islands of chance, opens in March with new 4K-high-definition three dimensional technology, character designs, new ride effects and cameo from comicbook icon Stan Lee. "It's actually a mind-dazzling presentation, whenever you consider the imagery," stated Mark Woodbury, prexy of Universal Creative for that company's amusement parks. "When Spider-Guy jumps to the vehicle, you will see every thread of his costume, and also the particulars behind him are wealthy and deep and full and extremely spectacular." After already announcing intends to develop a three dimensional ride according to "Wretched Me," U introduced that "Wretched Me Minion Mayhem" will open this summer time and replace "Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast." Ride will feature the voices of stars Steve Carell, Miranda Cosgrove and Elsie Fisher his or her figures. Orlando's CityWalk complex also will get a Hollywood Drive-In nineteen fifties B-movie-designed 36-hole miniature course, set to spread out in Feb. And also the Blue Guy Group returns in Feb with a brand new show and props. Contact Marc Graser at marc.graser@variety.com

Life After Heroes: Tim Kring on Why His New Show Touch Is Unapologetically Sentimental

Touch For his next act, Heroes creator Tim Kring wanted to nix the epic mythologies and instead make the TV show that he'd been kicking around in his head for years. His new drama, Touch, stars Kiefer Sutherland as a man desperate to communicate with his mute son Jake, an 11-year-old who he discovers can spot patterns in the world that predict the future and -- more importantly to Kring -- demonstrate humanity's interconnectedness. So while Jake sounds suspiciously like one of Heroes' superpower-wielding characters, solving the mystery of his gift is not a priority for Kring. Rather than focusing on what's behind Jake's uncanny abilities, Touch is designed as an unapologetically feel-good anthology of life stories (i.e. lovers reunited, tragedies prevented, closure achieved.) Kring said after watching his last high-concept show burn bright and flare out in the span of four quick seasons, he had something more procedural in mind; each week in Touch, Martin (Sutherland), as guided by his son, will work to cause or prevent events from taking place. Kiefer Sutherland returns to TV in Touch: Say goodbye to Jack Bauer "I believe the emerging story of our time is that we are more connected than we thought we were," Kring says. (The Heroes refrain? "Save the cheerleader, save the world.") "I believe with that idea, in cooperation with pulling together, we are going to make the world a better place for our kids. The stories in Touch comes more from that place than a Hollywood storytelling kind of place, to be honest. This is about putting out a positive message in the world." TVGuide.com spoke to Kring about laying off complicated mythology, separating Kiefer from Jack Bauer and the lessons he learned from Heroes: Why is doing a show with a positive message important to you right now? Tim Kring: I'm not very interested in feel-bad stories. The older I get, the less interested I am in that [laughs]. That doesn't mean we won't have some bittersweet endings or darker notes, but overall the message of interconnectivity is a feel-good message. This is not a cynical show. I don't think it has a cynical bone in its body. Counting down to Kiefer Sutherland's Touch: The 6 ways it could remind you of 24! The pilot definitely has a Pay It Forward feel, and the chain of events spans the globe. Will the show have that same scope on a weekly basis? Kring: Yes. What I wanted to do was tell small stories on a global scale, so there's a story about a man trying to find his phone because there's a special photograph in it, a story about a boy who needs to find an oven for his family. Even Martin's story very small and intimate. It takes places around the world, but the show is actually a series of very small human stories. There will probably be a number of viewers interested primarily in what's behind Jake's ability to connect these cosmic dots - but you don't want to make that the series focus. Why not? Kring: Because it's really hard to do. It's really, really hard to do that and hard because you can get overwhelmed by that. The show can get wrapped around mythology really easily, and then get dragged down by it. Touch was not set out to be a serialized story. Each week we create new characters in an almost short story-kind of way; you watch how their lives are connected, you feel like you get to know them, and then they're not on the show anymore. That being said, there is a mythology that will hang over the top of it. We do posit the idea that something is going on with this boy and that there's mystery surrounding it. Have you already mapped out the answers? Kring: We have ideas for the first season and we've talked about what we would do in the second. I don't know that we'll move that far in the first season. That's not where it's going. Check out photos from Touch When Kiefer's name came up as a possible star for the show, what were your initial thoughts? Kring: "I'll believe it when I see it." It just seemed like an insanely optimistic idea that he would want to be in the show. Sure enough, when [Fox President of Entertainment] Kevin Reilly approached him and he had interest, I was kind of amazed. Are you anxious at all that people so closely associate him with 24's Jack Bauer? Kring: It was clear to both Kiefer and I that it was a very different character. Martin's very much of an everyman, as opposed to someone who can really take matters into his own hands... In the pilot, Martin gets punched in the stomach and he does basically what any of us would do -- he crumbles in pain. Yes, there will obviously be a segment of the audience that will be disappointed that he's not killing people and, you know, being an action hero. But Kiefer is an enormously talented actor with a broad range, and it's good for him to stretch and let his audience know he can do other things. And he does get to say "dammit!" in the pilot. Kring: Honestly, it's also really the only word that you can say with standards and practices. I don't know how much Jack Bauer it is and how much standards and practices it is. Heroes ended on a rough note in terms of the media coverage. You once even apologized to fans for the show's creative decline. How soon did you know you wanted to come back and work in television? Kring: Heroes...that was the show that was on NBC, right? [Laughs] I'm still not ready to come back to TV! It's a very hard thing to do, to make television shows. I just had an idea for a script, I didn't know where it was going to end up. It could have been a movie. I was not actively looking to come back to TV. But as it turned out I did and it took me a while to get used to it again, but now we're having a lot of fun making these episodes. What lessons do you think you learned from the Heroes experience? Kring: You know, making Heroes was a blast... The good news is when you make a show you don't get to experience it in a way the rest of the world does. You're often a couple months ahead of it, ahead of the audience. There's always sort of a weird disconnect you have between what you think and the public's perception of it. You're living in kind of a bubble working such long hours, and you're a bit inured to whatever their issues are. Audiences will have their reaction, and you have to be true to what it is that you want to say. So, I guess my answer is to just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Check out the trailer for Touch, which premieres Wednesday, Jan. 25 at 9/8c on Fox.

CBS on twin track to Lawrence laffer

LawrenceCBS is doubling down in its effort to develop a sitcom vehicle for Martin Lawrence, setting scribes Tom Hertz and Larry Wilmore on separate paths to create a property for the comedian. The decision to engage two high-level comedy scribes is a sign of CBS' interest in having a Lawrence-fronted laffer on its air next season. The comic signed a development pact with the Eye last fall (Daily Variety, Sept. 15)."Rules of Engagement" creator-exec producer Hertz is penning a Sony Pictures TV/CBS TV Studios project revolving around a family man who tries to raise down-to-earth kids despite the influence of his wealthy in-laws.

White-colored House concerned by anti-piracy bills

The White-colored House on Saturday introduced that may not support a substantial little bit of anti-piracy legislation that "reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet."The us government still favors passage of some form of legislation, however concerns come as rivals have flooded congress with e-mails and letters. The legislation --- backed by Hollywood art galleries, guilds and record labels --- once made an appearance as though it could easily pass with hefty bipartisan support until it went in to a rally of opposition online firms an online-based activists late a year ago.The White-colored House has every fascination with approaching getting an agreement. Leader Obama came heavily on support from Hollywood and Plastic Valley in 2008, and can do so again this cycle. But politically, the legislation poses a potential problem for him whether or not this reaches his desk yet remains polarizing, particularly for the tech community as well as the so-referred to as "netroots" that shown so potent within the last campaign."Ultimately believe that online piracy by foreign websites can be a serious problem that requires a substantial legislative response, we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet," the administration mentioned in the blog publish signed by three government bodies: Victoria Espinel, intellectual property enforcement coordinator Aneesh Chopra, U.S. chief technology officer and Howard Schmidt, special assistant for the leader and cybersecurity coordinator for your national maintenance staff. The financial obligations are specific at curbing piracy via foreign rogue websites, via numerous measures. The Stop Online Piracy Act is pending just before the home Judiciary Committee, as well as the sister bill, the Safeguard IP Act, is scheduled for just about any cloture election on Jan. 24 to start debate round the Senate floor.The Three White-colored House government bodies did not say particularly whether they would support or oppose current versions in the legislation.Nonetheless they reported provisions through which domain names of web sites trafficking in infringing content could, by court ruling, be blocked. They mentioned that such measures "pose an authentic risk to cybersecurity but leave contraband items or services accessible online."House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Cruz (R-Texas), who introduced SOPA, introduced on Friday he'd get rid of the provision. In the statement on Saturday, he mentioned lucrative thinks the legislation "meets White-colored House needs." Despite the fact that provision remains inside the Senate version in the bill, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) mentioned he'd claim that it's examined further before implementation.The White-colored House also reported concerns online businesses that a provision enabling copyright holders to locate court orders to stem the flow of money to sites from payment processors and ad systems would bog lower startup companies in "unjustified suit."Markham Erickson, the executive director in the NetCoalition, a business Internet companies including Google, Facebook that have been towards the legislation, mentioned the administration's statement was "welcome news." He added that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has mentioned the legislation wouldn't go close to the ground of the house "without consensus."Thinking about the White-colored House criticisms, the entertainment industry's problem is it'll have a bill that has little teeth. Mitch Glazier, senior professional V . p . in the Recording Industry Assn. of America, mentioned they'd still utilize congress, but mentioned, "You are prepared to walk the walk --- legislation is of no benefit, nor will probably be support it, whether or not this allows the important thing Internet companies to direct law abiding clients to illegal and dangerous sites."Michael O'Leary, senior professional VOP for global policy and exterior matters within the MPAA, mentioned that "it is now time to avoid the obstruction and proceed round the legislation.""Ultimately accept the White-colored House that protection against online piracy is important, that protection ought to be significant to guard individuals who are actually and it's still harmed if legislation is not passed," he added.Thinking about the White-colored House criticisms, the entertainment industry's problem is it'll have a bill that has little teeth.

Robert Downey Jr., Tim Burton Teaming for 'Pinocchio'?

Because things worked out so well the last time Tim Burton adapted a famous fairly tale with 'Alice in Wonderland,' Warner Bros. wants the director to turn the trick again with 'Pinocchio.' Only this time, instead of Johnny Depp, the studio is eager for fellow A-lister Robert Downey Jr. to join the fun. No deals are signed, obviously, but Burton is reportedly "keen" to make this a future project, and he wants Downey to star as Geppetto. In this iteration of the classic story, Geppetto will "embark on a quest to reunite with his missing marionette." (Asking why it isn't called 'Geppetto' is certainly a valid query.) The last time Burton made a fairytale, the aforementioned 'Alice in Wonderland,' the box-office grosses were astounding. The 2010 release earned a ridiculous $334 million in the U.S. and another $690 million overseas. Pairing another Burton fairytale adaptation together with Downey -- who has starred in the 'Sherlock Holmes' movies for Warner Bros. to great success -- seems like a license to print money. Of course, whether deals can be reached with Burton and Downey remains to be seen. Though, if Downey -- the star of the upcoming 'Avengers,' plus 'Iron Man 3' -- can't star as Geppetto, here's guessing Depp would be more than happy to step into his place.

Why 'Drive,' '50/50' and 'Warrior' Have a go at Oscar

As honours season will get serious, voters get more and more serious-minded, putting aside movies they may have simply loved to be able to elevate films which have something "important" to express.Certain, you will find exceptions. This season, "The Artist" has situated itself because the lighthearted option to all individuals movies about war and racism and also the very concept of existence. But lest the film come off as too lightweight, its champions also provide contended it's not only fluff: "'The Artist' is really a movie from the moment," Richard Brody authored for that "NYer," "since it is about unemployment, particularly a good worker who manages to lose his job because of technological change that he's unequipped." Uh, OK.But what of individuals movies which were launched earlier around as commercial entertainments, with no great claims for his or her honours worthiness? Take "Drive," "50/50" and "Warrior," which all bowed in September -- this is not on carefully calculated Oscar-bait platforms but as wide releases.Overall, they ended up getting lots of thumbs-ups in the experts. At Rotten Tomato plants, "50/50," Will Reiser's loosely autobiographical script in regards to a youthful guy with cancer, directed by Jonathan Levine and starring Frederick Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen, obtained a 93 with testers and audiences alike. Drive would be a hit with experts (also generating a 93) but disappointed some movie-goers (who ranked it 79).They might have been expecting more vehicle chases in Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn's existential tale of the laconic loner, performed by Ryan Gosling, seeking redemption inside a town filled with vengeful crooks. "Warrior," about two siblings who confront one another within the mma ring, got a far more mixed reception from testers (82) but ended up with another positive 93 from audiences.No three movies converted into resounding commercial hits, though. Lionsgate's "Warrior" bottomed out just $13.7 million locally -- its excessively generic-searching trailer unsuccessful to market the movie's realistic undertake the economically depressed heartland. Summit's "50/50" powered its method to $35 million domestic, which will be a significant amount whether it had not tried to be greater than a niche film release. "Drive," probably the most effective from the three, handled to attain $34.8 million locally, $67.8 million worldwide.That left the 3 films inside a no-man's-land: September releases which were vanishing from theaters just like the year-finish honours hopefuls were coming.Yet each also collected lovers. "Drive's" Refn was announced best director at Cannes for that film, which Gosling employed him to supervise. The Broadcast Film Experts Association lavished eight nominations around the movie. Other groups happen to be less passionate, arranging their praise for Albert Brooks' supporting turn like a vengeful gangster."Drive" might be just as much concerning the movies out of the box "The Artist." Refn told "THR" he made the decision to evolve James Sallis' novel because "it's greatly about film mythology. And So I leaned on that style." But smartly made genre fare like, say, Michael Mann's 1995 "Warmth," does not frequently enter Academy territory.In "50/50," Levine strikes a much more delicate balance, striking truly comic notes while staying away from mawkish sentimentality. For his efforts, the film acquired three Spirit noms, including best feature, and 2 Golden Globe mentions, one for Gordon-Levitt. "It required to feel real," states Levine, who required his cues from filmmakers like Hal Ashby and Cameron Crowe. "Our guideline never was to strain for any joke, and that we really did not want the crowd to feel altered by any means.InchBut that may prevent the film if this involves the Academy, which frequently welcomes a traditional-fashioned cry. Because the movie's protagonist states to his concerned mother, performed movingly by Anjelica Huston, when the time comes to show his diagnosis: "Maybe you have seen 'Terms of Endearment'?"For "Warrior," Nick Nolte has acquired supporting-actor noms in the BFCA and SAG for his portryal of the alcoholic father, however the movie itself has unsuccessful to locate a just right the betting line. Fight pictures, from 1976's upbeat "Rocky" to 1980's downbeat Raging Bull, have frequently been welcomed into Oscar contention. This past year, "The Fighter" required home two trophies.But Gavin O'Connor's "Warrior," starring Tom Sturdy and Joel Edgerton, came and went so rapidly, it never established its full qualifications -- a minimum of, not until such experts as "THR's" Todd McCarthy along with a.To. Scott of "The NY Times'" put together their finest-of-the-year lists."With arresting honesty and huge empathy -- but without creating a large topical deal from it "Warrior" examines a united states working class spinning in the one-two punch of war and recession," Scott authored. That type of endorsement would normally signal an authentic honours player -- if perhaps the film had introduced its very own importance. The Hollywood Reporter
