THR is reporting Zachary Levi is going to be Earth's mightiest mortal. The actor will star in the DC comic book adaptation Shazam !, which follows a boy named Billy Batson, who can transform into an adult superhero by uttering the magic word "Shazam!" The name is an acronym of the ancient world gods and historical figures Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury, from which the big Batson derives his heroic attributes when in adult form. David F. Sandberg is directing Shazam! for New Line. The studio is high on Sandberg and sees him as a homegrown talent after putting out his first feature Lights Out in 2016, and releasing the director's Annabelle: Creation, the latest installment of The Conjuring universe. The $15 million horror sequel has earned a big $303 million worldwide since opening in August. Sandberg is directing Shazam! from a screenplay by Henry Gayden and Darren Lemke. Annabelle: Creation producer Peter Safran is reuniting with Sandbe

A great, quirky representation of the show. Review by Matt Cummings Back in the day before geeks and nerds ruled Planet Earth - okay, just eight to be precise - NBC premiered the spy comedy Chuck , created by Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak. The series centered around Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi) as an ordinary computer geek, whose loser life is radically altered when he accidentally opens an email that contains The Intersect, a database of information about the CIA and NSA. Somehow, the entire database downloads into his brain, garnering the attention of NSA Major John Casey (Adam Baldwin) and CIA Agent Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski). With the original file destroyed and Chuck's secret known only to the two agencies, he and his new friends embark upon a series of adventures that reveal much more about Chuck than he ever imagined. The series was fastened by a strong soundtrack by Tim Jones, which has been compiled in anticipation of the series' release on Blu-

VARÈSE SARABANDE RECORDS PRESENTS CHUCK – ORIGINAL TELEVISION SOUNDTRACK . Featuring Original Music By Tim Jones With Exclusive Premiere Tracks from World-Renowned Duo JEFFSTER! Varèse Sarabande Records will release CHUCK – Original Television Soundtrack digitally and on CD April 7, 2015. The album features the film’s original score by Tim Jones (Human Target, Cult), with three performances by Jeffster, featuring Vik Sahay: “Take on Me”, “Fortunate Son,” and “Fat Bottom Girls.” The digital version of the soundtrack will contain additional score tracks and two bonus Jeffster songs, “Leaving on a Jet Plane” and the hilarious “Mr. Roboto.” “CHUCK was really a hybrid of many different genres,” said Jones. “My instructions were to bind them with a score that would bring together all the disparate elements. Nearly every episode saw the introduction of a new sound or feel to match the action. It was a great deal of fun.” Tim Jones is a composer for film and television. While best

Zachary Levi has signed on to star in NBC’s Heroes Reborn , EW has confirmed. A relaunch of the original superhero drama, which ran from 2006 to 2010, the 13-episode event series will feature a brand new story, though Jack Coleman is slated to reprise his role as Noah Bennett, a.k.a. HRG. “We’re still keeping Zac’s role under wraps because everything is shrouded in mystery for this miniseries, but we’re very excited he’s been cast,” NBC boss Bob Greenblatt told reporters at the Television Critics Associations winter TV previews, noting that more castings will be announced over the next few weeks. Added Levi: “One of my first, and fondest, memories of joining the NBC family in 2007 was having the pleasure of getting to know Tim Kring, and the cast of Heroes. I was a fan of their collective work and always thought it was such a fantastic and fun world they got to play in. With Heroes: Reborn, I’m honored to have the opportunity to bring more of that world to life, and excited to

Thor: The Dark World Review By: MattInRC A Thor -sized helping of Phase 2 is the best Marvel sequel so far. Back in the summer, we wrote a glowing review of Iron Man 3, but since then our opinion has noticeably dulled. Disappointed at the lack of 'Iron Man moments' and still seething over the treatment of The Mandarin, we recently demoted it out of our top 10 list of 2013. It therefore shouldn't come as a shock that we were worried whether Marvel Studios had lost a bit of their mojo post-Avengers. Luckily, Thor: The Dark World relieves any anxiety, delivering a deeper, tonally darker production that is also funny at times while setting its sights clearly on a larger-scale Phase 2. Set two years after Avengers, Thor ( Chris Hemsworth ) has been playing galactic police, quelling riots throughout The Nine Realms while his girlfriend Jane Foster ( Natalie Portman ) has moved to London to start a new life. Both are miserable, but events will soon bring them

As if he hasn’t gotten enough exposure already, now Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is back for yet another shot of his very own. It looks for all the world like he’s sneaking up on Thor, ready to do something terrible with that knife. Unless, that is, the post has just arrived and he wants to open his latest issue of Sneaky Fiends Monthly. Interestingly, since this is a poster aimed at the German market, the title is Thor: The Dark Kingdom, which works almost as well as The Dark World. We’d be intrigued to know why it’s "Kingdom" in Germany – a clash with some other property that features the title? Something to do with the translation? And the man in the robes himself, Mr. Tom Hiddleston spoke to The Huffington Post about the additional shooting for the sequel. “The thing about Kevin Feige is he's very, very open and collaborative. And he and Louis D'Esposito, who run the studio - I find it very admirable that they're open to ideas. Chris Hemsworth and myself have

The new issue of Empire hits newsstands next Thursday, and just to give you a taste of what to expect, here's a new batch of stills from Thor: The Dark World , offering a good look at Christopher Eccleston's Malekith and his armada, as well as the returning Asgardians. Yes, the new issue, along with much other goodness, holds these new stills and lots from the cast and crew of the film. "You know, we are killing Asgardians in this movie," says director Alan Taylor inside. "It turns out immortality isn't all that it was cracked up to be." Explains producer Craig Kyle, "Asgard at the beginning of the first film was at a time of peace. Now our guys have been fighting for over a year, constantly. It's a time of war. "When the Bifrost was broken at the end of the first film, Odin had to conjure a lot of dark energy and go through a lot of personal sacrifice to try and get his son back to Earth. And it was a one-shot deal. If Th
