In “Archive,” an isolated scientist methodically pursues an artificial-intelligence ideal, developing a sequence of human-android beings and recycling their various parts until the ultimate prototype is achieved. In his handsome debut feature, writer-director Gavin Rothery follows a similarly nifty process of assembly and reassembly, repurposing elements from assorted sci-fi successes — a bit of “Ex
It looks like English songwriter and pop star Natasha Bedingfield, who released her fourth, 18-track Linda Perry produced studio album (“Roll With Me”) last year, is rolling out of L.A.’s Hollywood Hills, putting an almost $2.25 million price tag on a canyon- and city-view Mediterranean villa on a high ridge above L.A.’s Beachwood Canyon and

Most pop producers pine for a proverbial “big break,” and for Yonatan Goldstein, who goes by Johnny Goldstein, they don’t get much larger than co-production credit on 12 out of 15 tracks from the Black Eyed Peas’ buzzing “Translation” album including breakout hit “Mamacita” featuring Ozuna and J. Rey Soul. The Epic Records release boasts
Lucy Liu has been cast in the lead role of Shana Goldberg-Meehan’s multi-camera workplace comedy pilot at ABC formerly known as “Bossy” and “Kids Matter Now.” Liu will play Devin, described as the fierce and powerful head of Shelter, a large and successful modern furniture company.

The new version is said to re-examine the
SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Crisis Theory,” the finale of “Westworld” Season 3. Dolores may have been killed off — or erased — on “Westworld,” but that doesn’t mean the actor who portrayed her, Evan Rachel Wood, is necessarily done with the show. “I want to come back,” Wood, who
Sara Gilbert admits she misses “The Talk,” the show she created in 2010 and co-hosted for nine years before leaving in August.

The coronavirus pandemic has scuttled production of TV shows, live sports programs and in-studio audiences for late-night hosts. Now it’s threatening a new measure that might have aided a TV business worried about losing its audiences to streaming video.

It seems like every few years, the Television Academy reinvents the variety specials Emmy competition — and now, with an explosion in stand-up comedy on streaming platforms, it may have to rethink things once again. This year’s field of contenders in the variety special (pre-recorded) category is a hodgepodge of music showcases like Amazon Prime
Those who make television often have little time to actually watch the medium, but that changed greatly in spring when a global pandemic hit and those who usually spend almost 20 hours a day creating suddenly found themselves with many of those hours free to consume media.

After a fierce bidding war, Sony Pictures and SK Global have acquired the film rights to bestselling author Kevin Kwan’s new novel “Sex and Vanity,” which became an instant New York Times bestseller after its release on June 30.

Rob McElhenney is certainly no stranger to workplace comedies, having co-created “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” which launched in 2005 and whose 15th season will make it the longest-running live-action sitcom in small-screen history. But with “Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet,” which bowed on Apple TV Plus earlier this year, he moved from the world of
During its six-season-and-a-movie Comedy Central run, “Reno 911” was always always known for off-the-cuff comedic riffs, and its new season on Quibi is no exception. But, bringing the law enforcement comedy back more than a decade after originally signing off, and on a digital platform, has allowed the show to take its humor to new,
Simone Missick, the star of CBS legal drama “All Rise,” received a meat mallet in the mail during quarantine.

Elizabeth Debicki can keep a secret. Maybe it comes from her stint in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where she made a memorable appearance as a gold-painted alien in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” Or from dabbling in the world of espionage in AMC’s adaptation of John le Carré’s spy thriller “The Night Manager.” Maybe
