Michelle Monaghan found herself pulling not just double duty playing twins Leni and Gina in Netflix’s twisty new mystery drama “Echoes,” but quadruple duty as she portrayed the women playing each other after they switched lives once a year.
The show, which is ready to become your next Netflix weekend binge, kicks off when Leni, who is living Gina’s life with Gina’s husband Charlie (Daniel Sunjata) in Los Angeles, gets a call from Leni’s true husband Jack (Matt Bomer), who tells her that Leni (who is actually Gina) is missing. And if all that sounds complicated, it was, but Monaghan worked to put in subtle details in her portrayals of the sisters.
“It was really, really important, obviously, to individuate these personas, these women,” Monaghan said. “They’re very, very different. I started really developing Leni from beginning to end, and then I developed Gina from beginning to end,...

The media's obsession with mysteries involving twins is showing no signs of slowing down, and Netflix's latest effort looks like a surefire hit.
Michelle Monaghan is pulling double duty on this one from co-showrunners Brian Yorkey (13 Reasons Why) and Quinton Peeples (Runaways).
Given the previous shows the creatives worked on, we're inclined to believe this will have twists and turns coming from all directions, and that's what we like best.
"Echoes is a mystery thriller about two identical twins, Leni and Gina, who share a dangerous secret," the spoilery synopsis reads.
"Since they were children, Leni and Gina have secretly swapped lives, culminating in a double life as adults: they share two homes, two husbands, and a child but everything in their perfectly choreographed world is thrown into disarray when one of the sisters goes missing."
It certainly sounds similar to The CW's Ringer.

The live-action Marvel series “Runaways” is ending with its upcoming season on Hulu, Variety has learned.
The show, which is based on the Marvel comics series of the same name, is set to debut its third season on Dec. 13. That season will now serve as the show’s finale. According to an individual close to the series, the creative team felt that the third season provided a natural ending point for the show.
It is worth nothing, however, that “Runaways” was one of the few remaining live-action shows under the Marvel Television umbrella as set up by Jeph Loeb. With the end of “Runaways,” the only remaining live-action shows under Loeb’s purview are “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D,” which will end with its upcoming seventh season on ABC, and “Helstrom,” another Hulu series that recently set its main cast.

The upcoming third season of Marvel’s Runaways will be its last. The 10-episode third season of the Hulu series premieres Dec. 13.
Marvel’s Runaways fans should not be alarmed that the drama would end abruptly with no closure — the story is said to come to a natural ending point at the end of Season 3.
In Season 3, the Runaways frantically search for their captured friends Chase, Gert, and Karolina. The kids go head-to-head with an unstoppable enemy who has targeted Leslie — or more accurately, the child she’s carrying. Nico draws them all into a dark realm where its ruler, Morgan le Fay, played by Elizabeth Hurley, is much more nefarious than anyone the kids have yet to face.

The kids go head-to-head with an unstoppable enemy who has targeted Leslie — or more accurately, the child she’s carrying. Nico draws them all into a dark realm where its ruler, Morgan le Fay, played by Elizabeth Hurley, is much more nefarious than anyone the kids have yet to face.
The series returns via Hulu on Friday, December 13 with all 10 episodes. Marvel’s Runaways stars Rhenzy Feliz, Lyrica Okano, Virginia Gardner, Ariela Barer, Gregg Sulkin, Allegra Acosta, Annie Wersching, Ryan Sands, Angel Parker, Ever Carradine, James Marsters, Kevin Wesiman, Brigid Brannagh, James Yaegashi, Brittany Ishibashi, and Elizabeth Hurley.

I’m pretty stoked for the upcoming third season of Marvel’s Runaways. This has been a fun show to watch and the next season is going to get a lot more interesting with the arrival of the character Morgan le Fay played by Elizabeth Hurley, as well as the crossover with Freeform’s Cloak & Dagger.
In the action-packed Season 3, “the Runaways frantically search for their captured friends Chase, Gert and Karolina. The kids go head to head with an unstoppable enemy who has targeted Leslie — or more accurately, the child she’s carrying.

Hulu has released a teaser trailer for Marvel’s third season of The Runaways, and they’ve announced that the series will premiere on December 13th!
I’ve really enjoyed what Marvel has done with this series. I’ve enjoyed the characters they’ve brought to life and the story that is being told with them. I have no idea how long this show will last, but I’m glad that it’s getting at least one more season. I can’t wait to see how this story will play out.
Season 3 will consist of ten new episodes and the teaser features a bloodied and beaten down Runaways team. This is the synopsis that was shared for Season 3:

The series was created by Jordan Weiss, who serves as an executive producer alongside showrunner Ira Ungerleider, Dennings, Margot Robbie, Brett Hedblom, Tom Ackerley, Bryan Unkeless, Scott Morgan, Nicole King and Stephanie Laing. Matt Spicer will executive produce and direct the first episode. “Dollface” is produced by ABC Signature Studios, part of Disney Television Studios.

The news has just been revealed that Hulu has renewed Marvel’s “Runaways” for a 10-episode third season. Given the cliff-hanger ending of season two, we are certainly thrilled to learn that we will be getting some more from this series. The battle between the teen Runaways and the Pride has come to a head, but some seriously terrifying new threats are lurking about in the shadows.
It has also been rumored that season three will focus more primarily on the teen cast rather than the adults who portray their parents, as they may only be featured in about 7 of the 10 new episodes.
“We are so excited to tell more Runaways stories and are so grateful to Marvel, Hulu, our amazing cast and crew and of course our passionate audience,” said co-showrunners and Executive Producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. “Season three will be a magical time on Runaways, as...

Hulu has renewed “Marvel’s Runaways” for a third season.
Set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Runaways” stars Rhenzy Feliz, Lyrica Okano, Virginia Gardner, Ariela Barer, Gregg Sulkin, and Allegra Acosta as the Runaways, six teenagers from different backgrounds who unite against their parents, the Pride, portrayed by Angel Parker, Ryan Sands, Annie Wersching, Kip Pardue, Ever Carradine, James Marsters, Brigid Brannagh, Kevin Weisman, Brittany Ishibashi, and James Yaegashi.
The new order is for 10 episodes, down three from Season 2, which hit Hulu in Dec. 2018.

James Marsters let the news slip this weekend — Hulu has renewed Marvel’s Runaways for a third season. Here is more information.
Season 3 of the series, from showrunners/writers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, Marvel TV and ABC Signature, will consist of 10 episodes, down from the 13-episode second season and on par with the episode count in Season 1. That has been a trend for streaming series across the board as 10 has proven optimal for binging.
Additionally, I hear that, staying true to its title, Runaways plans to focus on the kids, so the actors playing parents who were series regulars are being reduced from all shows produced to factual series regulars – 7 out of 10.
Marvel’s Runaways is executive produced by Schwartz and Savage of Fake Empire along with Marvel’s Head of Television, Jeph Loeb and Quinton Peeples. Fake Empire’s Lis Rowinski produces as well. Marvel’s Runaways is...

Disney characters have long served as Halloween costume inspiration for kids and adults alike. But one of Disney’s more recent movies, Moana, has sparked controversy among parents over whether dressing as the Polynesian princess or her pal Maui is culturally appropriate.
In 2016 — the year the animated film came out — Disney even pulled a Maui costume after customers deemed it racist. “The team behind Moana has taken great care to respect the cultures of the Pacific Islands that inspired the film, and we regret that the Maui costume has offended some,” Disney said in a statement obtained by People at the time.

Nearly 10 years ago, Billy Crystal and writer Quinton Peeples started work on a screenplay they’d eventually call Have A Nice Day. Not terribly long in Hollywood development years, but eons removed from our current political climate.
Performed and recorded (by Amazon’s Audible) as a staged Off Broadway reading last night and tonight by a starry ensemble – Crystal, Kevin Kline, Annette Bening and Dick Cavett, among others – Have a Nice Day, with its progressive, honest and do-good president, is just a fantasy too far, even given its Wonderful Life trappings.
Crystal, in full-on City Slickers likability, plays a bumbling, sweet-tempered angel of death who comes calling on David Murray (Kline), a middle-aged man with a stifled wife (Bening) and a teenage daughter threatening tattoo-level rebellion.
Since Murray happens to be President of the United States, the visit from this track-suited existential...

Completing Crystal’s cast will be Auli’i Cravalho, Irene Bedard, Chris Cafero, Robin Thede and Robert King. The comedy was written by Crystal and Quinton Peeples, with Kline starring as a U.S. president deciding whether to run for a second term. Crystal plays the Angel of Death, and Cavett is the narrator.

Our Us chums have seen Hulu's 11.22.63, now airing on Fox in the UK. Here are their spoiler-free thoughts on the Stephen King adaptation...
Spoiler Alert: President John F. Kennedy died on November 22, 1963 and nothing Stephen King can write will ever change that. Oh maybe he’ll change it for a little while, but it will change right back if you ever come out of the closet. That’s the basic premise of Hulu’s miniseries on the best-selling 2011 Stephen King novel 11/22/63.
“If you do something that really fucks with the past, the past fucks with you,” Warns diner owner Al Templeton, played by Chris Cooper, to his casual friend, the local high school English teacher Jake Epping, played by James Franco. Templeton has a tendency to age in spurts, not the regular acceleration of ageing that comes when the body ages, but in three-year-spurts that happen in about two minutes.

Story: It's April 28, the day before time catches up with the flash-forwards. As the FBI scrambles to prevent another blackout from occurring, triple agent Janis Hawk is tasked with killing Mark Benford. But Benford is acting on some hunches of his own, one of which involves Gabriel McDowd, the autistic man with a strange attachment to Olivia and a deep awareness of the future.
Meanwhile, Simon Campos comes into contact with the head of the conspiracy and is asked to make a choice — become a part of the inner circle, or suffer the consequences.
The Hawk Unleashed: Well, that was anti-climactic. After weeks of flip-flopping allegiances, Janis Hawk's status as a triple agent was revealed — all because Benford had a hunch and asked her point blank about it. Now, she's not going to have an opportunity to...

Story: Demetri Noh (John Cho) is days away from his supposed death date. He and Mark Benford (Joseph Fiennes) attempt to track down Benford's stolen service weapon, the same firearm that's supposed to gun down Demetri. While Benford is busy helping his partner, his wife Olivia (Sonya Walger) is hanging out in places she shouldn't — namely Lloyd Simcoe's (Jack Davenport) house.
Elsewhere, Stanford Wedeck (Courtney B. Vance) is tasked by the Vice President of the United States to investigate Jericho. His search leads directly to the doorstep of Aaron Stark (Brian F. O'Byrne), still in the process of tracking down his daughter's abductors. It just so happens that these two men can help each other out.

Good intentions and nice production values aside, "Frontline" is an awkwardly rendered war psycho-drama sabotaged by unfocused direction, a nonsensical script and uneven performances.
Screened at the Nortel Palm Springs International Film Festival, this "Thin Red Line"-esque take on World War I will unlikely make it to the theatrical front line, finding itself dispatched directly to the video battlefield.
Jason London ("Dazed and Confused") plays Robert, a soldier, deserter and coward who runs smack dab over enemy lines, unwittingly presenting himself as a gift to the Germans.
Robert nevertheless attempts a getaway when his captors come across a downed German biplane and its seriously wounded pilot, Ludwig Haig (Lenny Von Dohlen), who happens to be a revered flying ace.
While Robert's escape bid proves futile, he strikes an odd friendship with Haig, as well as with mysterious and beautiful Catherine (Rya Kihlstedt), which raises the ire of crazed Capt. Wolfgang Mueller (John Savage), himself smitten with the unreciprocating French woman.
When it appears she likes Robert better, the jealous captain flies into a rage, stabs the American and takes Catherine and a small band of disillusioned soldiers deep into a thicket, which symbolizes an increasingly surreal journey into the heart of darkness.
Robert survives and goes after Catherine and company, as various hallucinatory images pop up along the way.
With its obvious thematic nods to "Apocalypse Now", "Frontline" wants to be more than your average war picture, but the harder it tries to reach for meaning in a world where meaning has been turned on its ear, the more ludicrous it becomes.
Director Quinton Peeples has a talent for artful composition, but it's at the expense of effective storytelling and basic character interaction.
Speaking of characters, the film offers a generous selection of really bad German accents that at least distract from the shaky performances, led by Savage's clenched grimaces.
On the encouraging side, "Frontline" looks and sounds a lot bigger than its budget with some fine, vivid camera work from Keith Smith, resourceful period touches from production designer Wendy Samuels and a rich, multilayered score by Lawrence Shragge.
