Peacock released a new trailer and key art for A.P. Bio‘s third season during its panel at the virtual Ctam press tour Monday. The trailer comes ahead of the September 3 premiere of the comedy series from executive producer Lorne Michaels.
When asked about whether or not the current Covid-19 pandemic would materialize in the new season, comedian Patton Oswalt had sarcastic words on the matter.
“You’re going to be seeing a lot of pandemic pratfall and antics. No, we’re not going to, really. Obviously there’s a lot of uncertainty, but, no, we’re not going to work the pandemic into this season. I’m sorry,” said Oswalt.
Creator Mike O’Brien echoed Oswalt’s sentiments and even recounted a story where his writing staff brushed closely with producing an eerie flu-related episode.

"It gets easier... But it ain't ever gunna be easy." An official trailer has arrived online for an indie coming-of-age comedy titled Bully, the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Santino Campanelli. This premiered at the Dances With Films Festival last year, but hasn't played anywhere else yet - and it's pretty clear why as there's not much here. Bully is about a heavy-set high school kid named Jimmy who is constantly tormented by the resident school bully and his cronies. But after he meets a boxer, he starts training and learns how to fight back. Truly the best way to fight bullies is to literally fight them! Right?! Starring Tucker Albrizzi as Jimmy, along with Danny Trejo, Ron Canada, Vincent Pastore, Jack Difalco, Elanna White, and Jay Lee. Despite the good intentions, it looks pretty bad and impressively derivative. Check it out anyway. Here's the full-length trailer (+ official poster) for Santino Campanelli's Bully,...

It seems the Peacock Network really wants to impress the College Board. NBC has renewed its AP Bio TV show for a second season. The mid-season replacement comedy has really struggled in the ratings. Perhaps it can get some tutoring during summer vacation.

NBC has ordered a second season of its new midseason comedy series A.P.Bio, executive produced by Seth Meyers.
A.P. Bio was a big priority for NBC this midseason. The single-camera comedy got a major push with two special previews, including one after the Closing Ceremony of the PyeongChang Olympics. The series also got a digital promotional run ahead of its official premiere, which netted respectable sampling.
The high school comedy starring Glenn Howerton has not been a breakout. A.P. Bio is averaging a modest 1.2 rating in 18-49 and 3.7 million viewers overall in L+7 . But comedies are usually slow at the start and need time to grow. Plus, A.P. Bio has been relatively well received by critics, and it has been attracting highly educated audiences — the series indexes at a 149 among adults 18-49 with four or more years of college to rank #3 among primetime series on the Big 4 networks.

“A.P. Bio” — and two new shows — just made the grade at NBC.
The Glenn Howerton-led series has been picked up for a Season 2 by the Peacock, which is also granting series orders to a pair of comedy pilots from executive producers (and network faves) Michael Schur and Amy Poehler.
Hailing from “The Good Place” producers Schur and David Miner and led by star Natalie Morales, NBC describes “Abby’s” as a hilariously aspirational new comedy about the best bar in San Diego, home to good prices, great company and, of course, Abby. This unlicensed, makeshift bar nestled in her backyard as the opposite of everything annoying about today’s party scene. There are rules at Abby’s: no cell phones (not even to “look something up”), earning a seat at the bar takes time and losing a challenge means drinking a limey, sugary “not-beer” drink. As the oddball cast of regulars will tell you, hanging out at Abby’s is a coveted honor. But once you’re in, you’re family.
Also Read: Ratings: NBC's 'Running Wild With Bear Grylls' Premiere Races to First Place at 10Pm
Along with lead Morales, the cast includes Nelson Franklin, Kimia Behpoornia, Jessica Chaffin, Leonard Ouzts and Neil Flynn.
Schur and Miner are executive produce along with Josh Malmuth, who penned the script for the multi-cam (shot outside in front of a live audience). Pamela Fryman is directing and also executive producing the pilot. “Abby’s” comes from Universal Television, Fremulon and 3 Arts Entertainment.
The Poheler-produced project, “I Feel Bad,” centers around Emet (Sarayu Blue), the perfect mom, boss, wife, friend and daughter. Ok, according to the logline, she’s not perfect. In fact, she’s just figuring it out like the rest of us. Sure, she feels bad when she has a sexy dream about someone other than her husband, or when she pretends not to know her kids when they misbehave in public, or when she uses her staff to help solve personal problems. But that’s Ok, right? Nobody can have it all and do it perfectly. From executive producer Amy Poehler comes a modern comedy about being perfectly Ok with being imperfect.

Other cast members include Paul Adelstein, Aisling Bea, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton and James Buckley.
Aseem Batra will write and executive produce the comedy, with Julie Anne Robinson directing and executive producing the pilot. Poehler, Dave Becky and Josh Maurer also executive produce. The series hails from Universal Television, Paper Kite Productions, CannyLads Productions and 3 Arts Entertainment.
As for newly-renewed “A.P. Bio,” its first season averaged a 1.2 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and 3.7 million total viewers in live-plus-seven-days of delayed viewing data from Nielsen.

If even half the reports coming out about Monster Trucks are true, it’s safe to say that Paramount’s action movie endured a torrid time during development.
Initially on course to race into theaters late next month, a delay to production coupled with a “a programming impairment charge” led Paramount to scale back the movie’s box office projections, as it quietly braces for a reported $115 million loss. That’s fairly damning for a movie that’s still to hit theaters, and at least based on today’s all-new trailer, it looks like Monster Trucks will live or die depending on how well it resonates with kids.
Directed by Ice Age helmer Chris Wedge, the wildly over-the-top actioner stars Lucas Till as Tripp, a high school senior who soon comes into owning an actual monster truck. Also starring Jane Levy, Rob Lowe, Amy Ryan, Holt McCallany, Barry Pepper, Tucker Albrizzi,...

"Meet Creech." Paramount has debuted a brand new trailer (see the first trailer) for the crazy live-action Monster Trucks movie, directed by Chris Wedge, who worked on Ice Age and Robots before making this leap into live-action. You've probably heard about this one because Paramount is bracing to lose millions of dollars making this, even though it is still two months out from release. I honestly don't think it looks that bad, there's an edge to it that seems like it's going to be fun - perhaps even moreso than the Transformers movies. This stars Lucas Till, Jane Levy, Holt McCallany, Barry Pepper, Tucker Albrizzi, Danny Glover, Amy Ryan, Rob Lowe, Frank Whaley, and Thomas Lennon. Fire it up and meet a monster.

Paramount Pictures has released a new trailer for Nickelodeon's strange looking family adventure film Monster Trucks. This is a movie where the main idea is that a big alien-type creature can live inside and somehow power old trucks. It's an absolutely ridiculous concept, but it could prove to be a fun movie. Here's the synopsis:

With Paramount‘s accounting department already steeling themselves for the reported $115 million loss they’re going to take on “Monster Trucks,” it kinda makes you wonder why they’re going through the whole charade of cutting trailers and releasing the movie. But I guess there are some contractual obligations to be met. At any rate, a new trailer for the film is here, and yes, it still looks terrible.
Lucas Till, Jane Levy, Holt McCallany, Barry Pepper, Tucker Albrizzi, Danny Glover, Amy Ryan, Rob Lowe, Frank Whaley, and Thomas Lennon will all be eager to bury this on their CV, with the movie following a young man and the rubbery creature who becomes his friend, and gets him out of various spots of trouble.

"Aren't you curious about where it came from?" Paramount has unleashed the first fun trailer for the crazy live-action Monster Trucks movie, directed by Chris Wedge, who worked on Ice Age and Robots before making this leap into live-action. The concept is kind of a mash-up between Transformers and Cars, with "monster trucks" that come to life as monsters, which seem to look like sharks. The ensemble cast includes Lucas Till, Jane Levy, Holt McCallany, Barry Pepper, Tucker Albrizzi, Danny Glover, Amy Ryan, Rob Lowe, Frank Whaley, and Thomas Lennon. This looks surprisingly kind of awesome, I'm actually excited to check it out now. As wacky as it seems, there's an edge to it that makes it quite appealing.

Paramount Pictures has just unveiled the first trailer and photo for Monster Trucks, a family-friendly adventure about a kid (Lucas Till) who discovers that a weird, alien-like, subterranean creature can somehow power his cobbled-together truck. It feels a lot like someone watched the scenes of Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox interacting with Bumblebee in the first live-action Transformers movie and just said, "Hey, let's do that again." Paramount sure does love movies about kids and their cars.
This does not look like my particular cup of tea, but maybe some of you will react differently. Chris Wedge directs, and the film stars Lucas Till, Jane Levy, Holt McCallany, Barry Pepper, Tucker Albrizzi, Danny Glover, Amy Ryan, Rob Lowe, Frank Whaley, and Thomas Lennon.

Paramount Pictures have released a new photo and trailer for the family sci-fi adventure "Monster Trucks". The Chris Wedge-directed film is set to open on January 13th and stars Lucas Till, Jane Levy, Holt McCallany, Barry Pepper, Tucker Albrizzi, Danny Glover, Amy Ryan, Rob Lowe, Frank Whaley and Thomas Lennon.
Shot right about two years ago in British Columbia, the story follows an automotively-inclined teen named Tripp (till) as he makes a connection with a mysterious creature - one who has the ability to control trucks remotely. Much of the stunt team behind the "Fast and Furious" films are involved here.

Laika, the award-winning animation studio nestled in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, celebrates 10 years of bold and memorable filmmaking this month. For a company whose name means “little barker” in Russian, Portland, Oregon-based Laika has made quite a noise in the global film industry over a relatively short time.
With its world-class filmmaking team, Laika pushes the boundaries of family entertainment and animated movies, redefining what stories can and should be told through the art form.
“When Laika began we had a simple goal: to make movies that matter,” says Travis Knight, Laika’s President and CEO, who also is lead animator and a producer on its films. “Laika is devoted to telling new and original stories in new and original ways.”
“We aspire to make films that are bold, distinctive, and enduring,” Knight continues. “We are committed to telling stories that are thematically challenging, aesthetically beautiful, emotionally resonant,...

There was a time when I was in love with stop motion animation. It was the era of Gumby, Rudolph: the Red-Nosed Reindeer and The Year Without A Santa Claus. However, over the past two decades, CG has slowly nudged stop motion out of mainstream family entertainment.
When you think of the top animated movies of 2012, Brave or Wreck-it Ralph probably come to mind. Superb CG and the Disney distribution label made these films household names. Yet, in the trenches of cinema, where only the most audacious viewers dare to go, another feature was the unsung animated gem of the year. Laika’s ParaNorman coupled a delightful voice cast with a layered story that was chock full of spooky twists. This thrilling adventure is filled with wonderful, hand-made character models and smart comedy. Thanks to the team at Laika, the beating heart of stop motion lives on.
