The CW DC universe has its Hawkman, which will be played by Falk Hentschel.

Hentschel, known for the Reckless TV series and Transcendence, will first be seen as Carter Hall in episodes of Arrow and The Flash prior to joining DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.

Described as charismatic and wise beyond his years, Hawkman is a natural-born leader with an abundance of charm and confidence—well, that’s because he’s 5,000 years old. Much like the comic book iteration, Carter retains his memories of his past lives each time he is reborn, though his lover (aka Hawkgirl) is born anew. In other words, Kendra Saunders will have no idea who he is at first.

Ian McShane Joins Game Of Thrones Season 6

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21588:]]

Ian McShane is joining the upcoming Game of Thrones Season 6.

The veteran actor, known for Deadwood, John Wick, American Horror Story, Pirates of the Caribbean and Hercules, will be a part of Westeros in what is said to be a mystery role.

EW.com reports the news that details on McShane’s involvment in Game of Thrones are slim.

“The show’s tight-lipped production will not reveal any details about McShane’s character, who’s coming on board for the most mysterious season yet,” The site reports. “Thrones is preparing to dive headlong into narrative territory not yet revealed in author George R.R. Martin’s novels (and despite that opening sentence, McShane’s character could theoretically appear in Westeros or Essos or somewhere in between).”

What is known about McShane’s role is that he has a small amount of screen-time during the season, yet it’s said his character is of key importance.

Game Of Thrones is currently in production for Season 6, and most recently HBO stated they expect the series to go for ten seasons, with it also mentioned a possibilty for a prequel series.

Check out a first look at Lucy Lawless in the Starz series starring Bruce Campbell Ash Vs. Evil Dead.

“It would be silly of us to rip the fans off by doing a watered-down version of the series,” Campbell said Friday at the Television Critics Association press tour, reports EW.com. “If this came out as a movie, it would be unrated. … The beauty of working with Starz is we have no content restriction whatsoever… I went blind the other day shooting a scene. That’s how much blood there is on the show. I’ve been gagged once and I went blind.”

Regarding Lawless’ character, who blames Ash for the Evil Dead outbreak and is described as a mysterious figure who is myopic in her quest to hunt down the source of the recent Evil, the actess offered: “She’s a bad bitch and she’s stalking Ash Williams. She’s got a big chip on her shoulder and a hot obsession.”

Comic Characters Join The Walking Dead Season 6


The Walking Dead Season 6 Comic-Con Trailer
 

The Walking Dead Season 6 will feature three new characters.

EW.com debuted the following images of Ethan Embry as Carter, Merritt Wever as Dr. Denise Cloyd, and Corey Hawkins as Heath.

Carter is described as: “Gimple says Carter serves as a composite of different people from the original comic. ‘Ethan plays a combo of a few characters that we actually haven’t hit yet or weren’t able to hit in other characters,’ says Gimple. ‘He is an Alexandrian, and has been there the whole time, just quite busy.’

Wever’s Dr. Cloyd is from the comics described as: “Denise’s role as a medic becomes critical in the community of Alexandria after the death of Pete, and in the comic her skills as a surgeon prove pivotal, especially after a ghastly injury incurred by one of the main characters—an injury which may or may not happen on the TV version.”

Corey Hawkins is from the comic as well and is described as: a supply-runner for the town (and one who becomes romantically linked to Denise in the original source material), but we’ve got an exclusive new photo for you above. Gimple had this to tell EW about Hawkins in the role: “He’s terrific and I’m so excited to see him bring Heath to life. It’s been fun and he dove in with both feet. He’s tough and skeptical when the cameras are rolling, and then when they’re off he’s just like a goofy fan. He’s really, really excited to be there.” 

The Walking Dead returns Sunday, October 11th at 9pm ET on AMC.

SyFy Announces Blood Drive Series

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21543:]]1971 Vanishing Point Challenger
 

Syfy and Universal Cable Productions today announced they have greenlit Blood Drive, a high-octane, over-the-top scripted series in the classic grindhouse movie tradition. Set in a near-apocalyptic future, the 13-episode series centers around LA’s last good cop who is forced to join a twisted, gory cross-country death race — with cars powered by blood and a dangerous femme fatale partner who sees people as fuel.

Blood Drive is from executive producers John Hlavin (Underworld: Awakening, The Shield) and David Straiton (Bates Motel, Hemlock Grove), who will also direct.

James Roland wrote the pilot under Hlavin’s supervision and will also serve as supervising producer. Fredrik Malmberg (Conan the Barbarian) and Mark Wheeler will serve as producers. Universal Cable Productions will be the studio.

Said Dave Howe, President, Syfy & Chiller:  “This highly stylized roller coaster ride is a throwback to 1970s grindhouse cinema. With its fast-paced thrills and indie feel, Blood Drive will make an exciting and edgy addition to Syfy’s growing slate of original scripted series.”

“The grindhouse cinema style remains largely untapped in television. The combination of gritty action and dark humor can push the envelope in some fun and unexpected ways,” said Jeff Wachtel, Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment and President, Universal Cable Productions. “Blood Drive has all these elements and more. We’re excited to partner with John Hlavin and David Straiton to bring this cool, action-packed series to life.”
