Fox is going Big with Kevin Biegel and Mike Royce. The duo who previously teamed on Fox's military comedy Enlisted are adapting Tom Hanks' 1988 movie Big for the network, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The comedy, which has received a script plus penalty commitment from Fox, is described as an event series based on the movie that explores what it means to be an adult and what it means to be a kid — and how in today's world, those two things are more confused than ever. Biegel and Royce will pen the script and executive produce the half-hour comedy, which is envisioned as an ongoing series with a cable model episode count. The comedy hails from 20th Century Fox Television, the studio behind Enlisted. The comedy comes after 20th shopped Enlisted, a semi-autobiographical comedy based on Biegel and his brothers, to Yahoo after Fox canceled the critical darling but ratings underperformer after a one-season run. Following prolonged negotiations, Yahoo ultimately

Open Windows Review By: Suepafly Open Windows is a wild crazy ride, with a convoluted plot that gets more ridiculous as the minutes tick by. It’s ambitious and innovative, but ultimately between the split screen narrative and the heavy handed manner of storytelling it’s hard to stay focused on any one thing. The overstimulation and multitasking are more headache than they’re worth. The flick opens with ”an exclusive preview” of Dark Sky as our main character Nick Chambers ( Elijah Woods ) takes screen shots of actress Jill Goddard ( Sasha Grey ). The movie plays out in multiple screens to mimic a computer screen. It’s a completely distracting gimmick that is completely over utilized. Nick wins a contest to meet Jill, and interview her. He runs her fansite, and may be more than a bit obsessed with her. He’s very excited, but soon learns that the contest was cancelled by Chord ( Neil Maskell ) aka the evil British puppet master. Chord first appears to be one of the goo

New clip from DEAR WHITE PEOPLE . DEAR WHITE PEOPLE will open in theaters October 17, 2014. Winner of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival’s Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent, Dear White People is a sly, provocative satire of race relations in the age of Obama. Writer/director Justin Simien follows a group of African American students as they navigate campus life and racial politics at a predominantly white college in a sharp and funny feature film debut that earned him a spot on Variety’s annual “10 Directors to Watch.” When Dear White People screened at MOMA’s prestigious New Directors/New Films, the New York Times’ A.O. Scott wrote, “Seeming to draw equal measures of inspiration from Whit Stillman and Spike Lee, but with his own tart, elegant sensibility very much in control, Mr. Simien evokes familiar campus stereotypes only to smash them and rearrange the pieces.” The unexpected election of activist Samantha White ( Tessa Thompson ) as head of a traditionally blac
