Netflix is sticking with House of Cards . A few weeks ahead of the Emmy-winning drama's sophomore debut on the streaming service, it has been given the official green light for a third season. A Netflix rep confirms to The Hollywood Reporter that House of Cards has received an early renewal, and production is set to begin soon. House of Cards was originally packaged as a two-season pickup, though all parties have spoken optimistically about the show running longer. House of Cards marked Netlfix's entry into original series just one year ago. Critically acclaimed, it was followed by Hemlock Grove, Orange Is the New Black and the revival of Arrested Development. Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos has said that he wanted more from the show. "I think if you look at the original House of Cards, there was a natural third season, and we could go well beyond that," he said at a November panel. Adapted for the U.S. by Beau Willimon, who serves as showrunner, an

If you like your politicians Machiavellian and your plots labyrinthine, boy do we have a treat for you. The trailer for season two of Netflix House Of Cards is online, and it promises yet more sinister machinations by Kevin Spacey's Frank Underwood and his almost equally tough wife Claire ( Robin Wright ). Have a look below - but if you haven't seen season one, beware spoilers! Series one, for those who haven't seen it but are less spoiler-phobic, sees House Majority whip Underwood manoeuver himself into the Vice Presidency of the USA after being overlooked for the Secretary Of State role. He's assisted by an ambitious young reporter, Zoe Barnes ( Kate Mara ), whose ruthlessness initially seems a good fit for his own. Later, maybe not so much.

February 14 is when thoughts traditionally turn to love, bemoaning the lack thereof or complaining about the skyrocketing cost of flowers and chocolate. But for those who enjoyed the first series of Netflix’s updated House Of Cards , it’ll be their chance to watch Kevin Spacey’s Francis Underwood get back to the scheming and double-dealing at which he is so usually adept. There’s even a teaser online to celebrate the occasion. Picking up where the first series left off, Francis and wife Claire ( Robin Wright ) Underwood continue their ruthless rise to power as threats mount on all fronts. Zoe Barnes ( Kate Mara ) the up-and-coming reporter and Francis’s former paramour, is inching closer to the truth about his crimes. President Walker’s ( Michel Gill ), billionaire confidante Raymond Tusk ( Gerald McRaney ) demands that Francis reciprocate political favours or face retribution. And Claire must confront the increasing glare of the spotlight as it eats away at her and Francis’s once

Here are some new images from RAMPART starring Woody Harrelson, Robin Wright, Sigourney Weaver, Ice Cube, Ben Foster, Ned Beatty, Steve Buscemi, Cynthia Nixon and Anne Heche . Los Angeles, 1999. Officer Dave Brown (two-time Academy Award nominee Woody Harrelson ) is a Vietnam vet and a Rampart Precinct cop, dedicated to doing "the people's dirty work" and asserting his own code of justice, often blurring the lines between right and wrong to maintain his action-hero state of mind. When he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself in a personal and emotional downward spiral as the consequences of his past sins and his refusal to change his ways in light of a department-wide corruption scandal seal his fate. Brown internalizes his fear, anguish and paranoia as his world, complete with two ex-wives who are sisters, two daughters, an aging mentor dispensing bad advice, investigators galore, and a series of seemingly random women, starts making less and le

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO Movie Review By: RAMA So what did RAMA think of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO ? Make sure to follow him on Facebook and on Twitter . I’ve never read Stieg Larsson’s millennium novels, so I can’t say how faithful this film is to the original material, but I am a big fan of the Swedish adaptation by Danish filmmaker Niels Arden Oplev. Now, I know the fact that Hollywood is obsessed with remakes annoys the hell out of us, but I think there can always be room for different interpretation, different vision and approach and that’s what David Fincher’s version excels in. It’s more detailed, more curious, and more unafraid. It’s a superb and chilling thriller with an astounding performance by Rooney Mara . Whether or not this version is better can be argued but it certainly is a solid film… Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently at the wrong end of a libel case, hired to get to the bottom of Harriet’s disappearance . . . and about Lisbeth

In the wake of the $20 million opening weekend for the film based on his Moneyball , author Michael Lewis is taking a much more active role in the what could be the next film based on one of his books. Lewis has been tapped by Warner Bros. to write a script based on Liar's Poker , his classic 1989 account of working as a bond trader at Salomon Brothers in the go-go '80s. “I’m going to spend the next two months doing that,” Lewis tells The Hollywood Reporter. Moneyball Review - In addition, John Requa and Glenn Ficarra (Crazy, Stupid, Love) have come aboard to direct the film. Bill Gerber is producing and Courtenay Valenti is overseeing the film for Warners. Lewis, the author of several nonfiction bestsellers, is a hot commodity in Hollywood following the success of The Blind Side and Moneyball. Liar's Poker, Lewis' first book, has been in development at Warners since the early 1990s. The property picked up momentum recently as Lewis’ star has risen and the eco

Moneyball Movie Review By: Rama Let's see if Rama thought Moneyball hit it out of the park or not. Enjoy his review and make sure to follow him on Facebook and Twitter . I don’t know if I’d call MONEYBALL a baseball movie because it’s more about the business or the dealings behind it and in that sense, the concept could apply to other sports. Which is great because you don’t have to grow up liking baseball to enjoy MONEYBALL, which by the way is one of the best films of 2011 in my book. Columbia Pictures, the force behind last year’s smart dialogue film, The Social Network, has done it again, obviously because Sorkin reworked the script. But the film’s comparison to The Social Network may also be a factor, on top of public’s opinion on Pitt ’s recent comment about Jen Aniston, that could hurt MONEYBALL’s chances at the box office. That said, this film is funny, it’s engaging, it’s got similar excitement and intensity that you’d usually expect to happen on wall street flo
