Constantine Officially Cancelled; Being Shopped Around To Other Networks

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20467:]]

NBC has officially cancelled Constantine, but the future of the series may not be done just yet.

Today NBC decided not to move forward with Constantine Season 2, which follows the network’s decision not to order a full series for Season 1 earlier in the year. NBC executives previously blamed the live ratings for the decision. 

Don’t give up hope just yet as now showrunner Daniel Cerone is shopping Constantine to other networks, with the CW the current favorite.

The CW is already home of The Flash, Arrow, iZombie and the upcoming DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow spinoff, so Constantine could find a home there. In addition, The CW’s ratings requirements aren’t as high as NBC, and The CW is owned in part by Warner Bros. Constantine actually has higher ratings than both Arrow and iZombie, which The CW recently renewed.

Cerone took to his Twitter to note a ratings low at NBC would be a hit at many of the other networks.

#SaveConstantine

Update: Arrow star Stephen Amell offers support for Constantine and to guest star.

Agents Of SHIELD Spinoff Not Moving Forward

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20453:]]

Following the news that ABC has renewed Agents Of SHIELD as well as Agent Carter, it’s now being said the planned SHIELD spinoff is not moving forward.

Deadline reports Marvel put the brakes on the project, which was set to star Adriane Palicki as Barbara Morse and Nick Blood as Lance Hunter.

While it’s stated Marvel wouldn’t comment, a reason given for halting the project is that there may have been some backlash to the idea of taking some of the strongest characters away from the main SHIELD series.

The article also notes the spinoff received a luke-warm reception amongst fans.

It’s noted the planned ABC and Marvel John Ridley series is still said to be in development.

Watch: Comparing The Voices Of Grodd

With Grodd recently appearing on The Flash, check out a compilation of Grodd voices from the various animated series and games.

I’ve always favored the Super Friends version performed by Stanley Ralph Ross.

David Sobolov voiced Grodd for The Flash series (“Fallout,” “Grodd Lives”) and is voicing Drax for the Guardians of the Galaxy animated series as well.

In a neat Easter Egg,  if you watched the “Grodd Lives” episode, Clancy Brown voiced Grodd for Robot Chicken.

Supergirl TV Series Is A Definite Go For CBS

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20428:]]

The Supergirl TV series is definitely happening as CBS has ordered it to series.

THR reports following a potential iffy greenlight, which may have seen the Supergirl series land at the CW, Supergirl was only approved for CBS following CBS Entertainment chairman Nina Tassler’s approval after viewing the final cut of the series.

Apparently CBS was on the fence regarding Supergirl, but Tassler is reported to have been looking for dramas with strong female leads, and it’s said when Tassler saw the Supergirl final cut that she loved it and approved it.

It’s currently unknown when CBS will air Supergirl, but the article speculates possibly Sunday nights at 8pm or maybe even airing it in the Summer paired with Under the Dome, Extant or Zoo.

Supergirl is from writer/exec producers Ali Adler and Greg Berlanti starring Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El and Supergirl, Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen, Laura Benanti as Alura Zor-El, Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant, Chyler Leigh as Alexandra “Alex” Danvers, Jeremy Jordan as Winslow “Winn” Schott, David Harewood as HankHenshaw, and Dean Cain and Helen Slater in mystery roles.

Synopsis:

Based on the characters from DC Comics, Supergirl will follow Kara Zor-El. Born on the planet Krypton, Kara escaped amid its destruction years ago. And since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.

Machinima Announces Justice League: Gods and Monsters, DC’s Hero Project & More

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20379:]]

HEROES TAKE CENTER STAGE AT MACHINIMA’S DIGITAL CONTENT NEWFRONT PRESENTATION

Programming Slate Includes Blue Ribbon Content and DC Entertainment’s Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles Season 2, #4Hero, and DC’s Hero Project along with RoboCop, Clive Barker’s Creepy Pasta, Happy Wheels, High School 51 from Robert Orci, and Collaborations With Some of the Most Renowned Social Video Stars In The World

 

LOS ANGELES, CA, May 4, 2015 – Machinima’s debut at the Digital Content Newfronts was nothing short of “heroic.” The first global many2many programming service focused on fandom and gamer culture, Machinima unveiled a programming slate designed to elevate and celebrate a global community of gamer, comic and hero fans through the most innovative content on the Internet. Partnerships with Blue Ribbon Content and DC Entertainment, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Clive Barker, Roberto Orci and Bunim/Murray Productions, along with some of Machinima’s leading creator talent, showcase Machinima’s commitment to developing content across all genres, formats and platforms.

“Fandom and gaming engenders so much passion and engagement; it’s a cultural shift uniquely connecting with the most valuable millennials,” said Chad Gutstein, Machinima’s CEO.  “It’s this deep connection to our audience that has made Machinima the ninth largest video entertainment platform in the United States, and the second most watched programmer on YouTube.  With our new slate, we are reminding our fans and our clients of one very important fact: Machinima is back!”

 

Machinima’s programming slate includes:

 

Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles Season 2

From visionary producer and animator Bruce Timm (Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series), Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles turns the DC Universe upside-down. In this dark, alternate world, telling the good guys from the bad guys is never easy: Superman is not the son of Jor-El, he’s the son of General Zod; Wonder Woman is not from peaceful Themyscira, but rather the warring nation of Ares; and Batman is more vampire-bat than man…and he’s not Bruce Wayne. It is unclear if our greatest heroes are here to protect us…or to rule us. With Season 1 set to launch in June, Machinima, Blue Ribbon Content and DC Entertainment have already begun development on Season 2, a 10-episode follow-up to the initial limited series.

 

DC’s Hero Project

Machinima, Blue Ribbon Content, and DC Entertainment are setting out to discover the next great creator for the world of DC Comics.  Eight contestants compete in elimination challenges to develop a live-action short video based on their own interpretations of characters from DC Comics’ Starman comic book series. Well-known guest judges and celebrity special guests will join bestselling writer and DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns and a panel of esteemed judges to oversee the entire competition.

 

#4Hero

A modern adaptation of DC Comics’ cult-favorite classic “Dial H For Hero”, #4Hero is a live-action, VFX-heavy action-comedy about a young woman named Nellie Tribble who is quietly desperate to make her mark on the world, but wholly unprepared to do so. Nellie stumbles upon a life-altering smartphone app that allows her to instantly become a Super Hero for a short amount of time. The problem is her super powers are dictated by whatever is trending on social media at that moment, and they are always only semi-useful.

 

Clive Barker’s Creepy Pasta

For the first time, horror legend Clive Barker is stepping away from the creatures of his own imagination and entering into the world of Internet horror fan fiction, affectionately known as Creepy Pasta.  Starting with viral urban legends (e.g. Jeff the Killer, Slender Man and Ben Drowned), Clive Barker’s Creepy Pasta is an original series of live-action, blood-curdling short films.  These new tales will be curated and adapted by Barker from submissions obtained through the creepypasta community, and produced by Machinima to scare you to your core.

 

RoboCop

“Dead or alive, you’re coming with me.” OCP’s Security Concepts Division’s RoboCop program is back in an all-new, short-form limited web series, based on Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s 1987 classic action film. RoboCop returns to Delta City where viewers ride along with the now standard-issue RoboCop officers as they respond to calls from dispatch. Tapping into current themes of the surveillance state, the series is shot from the first person point of view of the RoboCop officers’ heads up display, along with security cameras, dash-cams, and drones.

 

Happy Wheels

“Choose your inadequately prepared racer, and ignore severe consequences in your desperate search for victory!”

                                                                        – Happy Wheels

 

Machinima will bring audiences an all-new original animated series based on Jim Bonacci’s hit online game Happy Wheels and produced by BMP Digital, the digital division of Bunim/Murray Productions (‘The Real World’, ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’). This must-see 10-episode short form series, which will feature fan-favorites such as Wheelchair Guy, Irresponsible Dad and Lawnmower Man, will expand upon the game that has more than 8 million players a month and showcase its notorious dark humor and penchant for blood and gore. Additionally, with over 3.1 billion video views amassed, BMP Digital is looking to leverage the voiceover talents of YouTube influencers such as Toby Turner (15.2M YouTube Subscribers, Cartoon Network’s The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange) and others who have made this game so iconic.

 

Jerome ASF’s The Baka Chronicles

Adding to the gaming fervor, Machinima’s iconic Minecrafter Jerome ASF (3.6M YouTube Subscribers), will be teaming with N00b Adventure creator Jim Schwerfeger for an all-new series – The Baka Chronicles. Featuring Jerome ASF’s most beloved character, Baka, the series follows two unlikely server admins who problem-solve the hilarious antics of griefers, trolls, and kids who wreak havoc across their favorite multiplayer Minecraft server. Little do our heroes realize this job is a massive headache.

 

High School 51

Created and produced by Roberto Orci (Transformers, Amazing Spider-Man 2, Star Trek, Sleepy Hollow, Lost, Fringe) and Legion of Creatives, and starring Orlando Jones (Sleepy Hollow, Tainted Love, Drumline, MADtv),High School 51 is as out of this world as the name implies.

Hidden away in the heart of Area 51, Dream Lake High School is filled with mind-blowing technology, top-secret government programs and a student body that is cool, quirky, attractive, and…well, alien.  No one from the outside has ever been allowed into the school and no human has ever attended…until now.

For 16-year old Alex Valencia, the first and only human ever to attend Dream Lake, high school is going to be tough. Fitting in will be one thing but his biggest challenge just might be saving the human race!

 

Returning Series

Additionally, Machinima is announcing the return of some of its most popular shows including AFK, Chasing The Cup, Realm, Battlefield Friends, Sanity Not Included, Deck Wars, and ETC.

Watch: Walking Dead’s Chad Coleman Goes Ballistic On NYC Subway

Well, we don’t see this everyday, but check out video that features The Walking Dead‘s Chad Coleman throwing a hairy conniption on a NYC subway.

Coleman gets video taped as he goes ballistic ranting, raving, and stomping up and down the subway car toward the passengers.

We can hear Coleman reciting his various celebrity role as he screams: “Yes! I’m Chad L. Coleman! I’m on The Wire. I’m on The Walking Dead. I’m not trying to play no f—ing games with you! Where is your humanitarian?! Where brother?! So don’t tell me I’m making this up. A humanitarian. If you care, f—– care. And that’s the g– damn truth. So if you need to read about it, if you need to record it, get your phone out…”

“At the end of the day, there is a humanitarian in you,” Coleman can be heard yelling.

The video of Coleman goes on for almost four minutes and actually did debut at TMZ, who reached out to Coleman’s reps that stated Coleman was sober at the time, and this was Coleman’s response to the Baltimore riots.
