For the first time ever, the 2017 Primetime Emmys will hand out an award for Outstanding Music Supervision, acknowledging the creative contributions made by the music supervisors on TV series. It’s an award that’s long overdue; music supervision is an often misunderstood art form thought to be as simple as pulling songs off an iPod. “There’s so much work that goes into it that you don’t see on the screen,” says Amanda Krieg Thomas,...

In a single season, NBC’s hit drama managed to deliver a wide range of heart-wrenching, gut-punching emotions. We laughed, we cried, we obsessively searched for fan theories. And the show’s music played an integral role in warming our hearts (and exhausting our Kleenex reserves).

Hold onto those necklaces, folks. We’re entering unchartered territory here.
The season 1 finale of This Is Us did not reveal the manner of Jack’s death — though it did rule out death by drunk-driving to Rebecca’s gig. But “Moonshadow” gave audiences something that they perhaps hoped they’d truly never see, unspooling the toughest, darkest depiction of a marriage in crisis that they’ve seen on the series to date. Even Milo Ventimiglia admitted to People at a finale screening on Tuesday that right after reading the finale script,...

It’s been 35 years since a certain werewolf terrorized London, and to celebrate that anniversary, we gathered director John Landis, special effects guru Rick Baker, and actor David Naughton to discuss the production of An American Werewolf In London with Maniac Cop’s William Lustig moderating.
Screening the film for old fans and newbies gave the panel a rush of energy, and the three men laughed heartily at the remembrances. Landis recalled that he had been working on a film called Kelly’S Heroes when he saw some gypsies burying a man covered in rosaries and garlic and incense — and they were burying him feet first! — all to keep the corpse from coming back from the dead. He found it fascinating, and wondered how these superstitions could be so strong two months after we’d gone to the moon.
So he wrote the script for over a decade before the film finally went into production.

The new Cat Stevens musical is scheduled to premiere in Melbourne, it has been reported. The musician, who is now known as Yusuf Islam, reportedly wants to have an all-Australian cast for his international stage show Moonshadow because he believes the country is full of talent. Islam's Melbourne-based nephew Steven Georgiou told the Herald Sun: "The aim is to keep it all Australian because of the talent here. He went to see a few musicals when he was here on his concert tour and he was very impressed. "Australia's been an important place for him in his career. He's very well received (more)...
