Titus Welliver isn't the first actor I might have thought of to play Lapd homicide cop Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch, hero of 17 best-selling mystery novels and counting by Michael Connelly (plus multiple appearances in Connelly's "Lincoln Lawyer" series). But that's more because the book series started so long ago, and has allowed Harry to age in real time, so my mental image of him is much older than the "Deadwood" alum. In "Bosch," a new TV series whose first season can be streamed on Amazon Prime starting today, Welliver plays a younger and slightly mellower version of Harry. Connelly and producer Eric Overmyer ("The Wire," "Tremé") adapted the first season from pieces of three different Bosch novels ("The Concrete Blonde," "City of Bones" and "Echo Park"), and tweaks some biographical details. (Over the course of the early books, for instance, Bosch got married, divorced, and had a daughter who's on the...

The new series Gotham is still finding its feet and many of the cast members seem unsure of where to go with their roles. However, there is one definite bright spot in the series and that’s Robin Lord Taylor as the Penguin, who’s by far the best thing on the show.
The good news for Gotham fans is that the show has been expanded for additional episodes. One of the main reasons for that is Robin Lord Taylor’s scene-stealing role as Oswald Cobblepot, Aka the Penguin. These extra episodes will allow the series more time to find its footing because it’s still raw and needs to cook a bit more before it reaches its potential. In the meantime, however, Taylor’s scenes as the Penguin are always the highlight, and viewers can be carried along through the weaker points of the show by the anticipation of his scenes.

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to watch the pilot for Fox’s Batman prequel, Gotham. It was one of the best pilot episodes I’ve seen in recent memory. They really have created a rich, expansive world that begs to be explored further. Every member of the cast remained faithful and familiar to those beloved and infamous characters while, at the same time, bringing something new and exciting. Even though the many unknown actors were most entrancing (Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot is a revelation!), the more well-known actors also disappeared into their new roles.
The casting choices have been perfect so far, so I fully trust they’ll make good use of Dexter’s David Zayas, who has been cast as mafia boss Salvatore Maroni. The character was previously featured in The Dark Knight, and was played by Eric Roberts.

Anyone who became addicted to HBO’s horse racing drama Luck — which the net elected to cancel on Wednesday — should get some closure in the next two weeks. The ninth and final episode that is set to air on March 25 has the feel of finale, even though it wasn’t necessarily designed to be the series’ last, EW has learned.
And HBO will still release the entire first season on DVD. The only lingering question is whether the scenes that were shot during Luck’s final days will be added as extras: The drama from David Milch and Michael Mann...

"Donnie Brasco" was like no mob movie that came before it. Based on a true story, that of FBI undercover agent Joseph D. Pistone, who spent years infiltrating New York's Bonnano crime family, its mobsters were decidedly unglamorous petty criminals, guys who had to resort to breaking into parking meters to make their monthly nut. It was directed by an Englishman best known for a Hugh Grant romantic comedy. Its hero, who never fires a gun except on the FBI firing range, was played by Johnny Depp (then best known for quirky, vulnerable man-child roles) and his mentor was played by Al Pacino (as a tired, rumpled mafioso, about a million miles from his Michael Corleone or Tony Montana). That it worked at all was miraculous, especially considering how different it might have been with its initial star and director. The result was a modern classic that made a grown-up...

Exclusive: John Lee Hancock is returning to television. The Blind Side writer-director has teamed with Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Dan McDermott’s recently launched TV company for an untitled crime drama project that has been sold to ABC. Hancock is set to write, direct and executive produce the drama, which centers on an unorthodox protagonist described as Walter Mitty of the crime world. Hancock will executive produce with di Bonaventura and McDermott for ABC Studios where Di Bonaventura Pictures Television is under a 3-year deal. Hancock dabbled in TV in the late 1990s with brief stints on Falcone and L.A. Doctors, which he created, but has spent the last decade in movies, most recently writing and directing The Blind Side. After several years of struggling to get the movie made with Julia Roberts turning down the lead and 20th Century Fox dropping the project altogether, Hancock saw his film rake...

That didn’t take long. Variety have confirmed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is playing Alberto Falcone in The Dark Knight Rises, the son of mob boss Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins) – a major character from Jeph Loeb’s The Long Halloween.
The role most definitely positions Levitt as a villain and after the likely inclusion of Marion Cotillard as Talia, the daughter of Ra’s Al Ghul, it certainly feels like Bruce Wayne’s past is coming back to haunt him in the final part of this trilogy.
We have to say congrats to Comic Book Movie who had this rumour back in February and claimed that the new movie would find Falcone returning to Gotham to reclaim the city Batman helped take away from his father. Perhaps then he is the one who hires Bane (Tom Hardy) to do his bidding and interestingly – in the Catwoman: When in Rome storyline,...

Update: There’s word that Joseph Gordon-Levitt will Not play Alberto Falcone. Read more here.
Just one day ago we learned that Joseph Gordon-Levitt had officially joined the cast of The Dark Knight Rises. Now we know who the actor will portray in the third Batman film coming from Christopher Nolan. Variety reports Gordon-Levitt has signed on to play Albert Falcone, the son of Mafia head Carmine Falcone, the character that Tom Wilkinson played in Batman Begins.
Alberto Falcone is also known as “The Holiday Killer” and is based on Fredo Corleone of the Godfather series, but he also has certain traits similar also to Michael Corleone. The character is a very “realistic” one that fits the world Nolan has created for his version of Batman and Gotham City. He’s not like Mr. Freeze or Poison Ivy, like we saw from Joel Schumacher. Read more on the character Alberto Falcone after the jump.

After much speculation, Joseph Gordon-Levitt will officially reunite with his "Inception" director, Christopher Nolan, in the upcoming Batman sequel "The Dark Knight Rises," reports Variety. British actress ("Greenberg," "Kaboom") is in talks to join the cast. Although the role is being kept under wraps, Internet rumors have the "500 Days of Summer" actor playing everyone from the Riddler to masked assassin Deadshot to mafia heir Alberto Falcone (Tom Wilkinson played mob figurehead Carmine Falcone in 2005's "Batman Begins," whereas Eric Roberts appeared as a rival mob boss in 2008's "The Dark Knight"). Gordon-Levitt joins an all-star cast heavy on Nolan regulars....

Comic Book Movie have the worst track record of any film site on the internet for casting rumours, usually posting at least one false story per day (somebody once told me of the frightning policy they have of allowing anyone to publish a story with very little to no vetting going on) – however, I like what the rumour is suggesting, so I’m posting this as ‘something to think about as a possibility’. Or, something that would be cool rather than something that’s definitely happening.
So Cbm say they have heard from an anonymous source that Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s mysterious role in The Dark Knight Rises (which I hadn’t known was officially a done deal yet) is that of Alberto Falcone, the son of mob boss Carmine Falcone (played by Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins) – a major character from Jeph Loeb’s The Long Halloween.

Abrams sci-fi series signaling that it’s about to push into a new layer of mystery mythology to its increasingly alluring universe (Who are “The First People?” Are they connected to The Observer? Is Sam Weiss one of them? I want to know!), tonight’s new episode lays the groundwork for the midseason denoument by showcasing Phillip Broyles.

Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises is gearing up for an April 2011 start date, meaning casting and character speculation has soared to an all-time high, along with expectations for the series’ third and final installment.
The late Heath Ledger raised the bar on comic book movie villains and injected chaos into Gotham with his chilling, Oscar-winning performance as the Joker. But how does Nolan, or anyone for that matter, follow that?
The idea of introducing The Riddler, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, was a juicy rumor for a time, serving the dual purpose of another sinister adversary whose mind games keep Batman on his toes yet divergent enough to create fresh situations for Bruce Wayne. But, alas, Nolan struck down that hearsay, along with the (scary) possibility of Mr. Freeze.
The return of Two-Face also seems unlikely considering his grisly plummet and Aaron Eckhart’s insistence he won’t be asked back for the sequel.

Following the news that ABC will not be ordering additional episode of freshman drama Eastwick, costar Lindsay Price (pictured) has been named a suspected show killer. Though undeniably adorable, the actress has a long rap sheet of failed TV shows that also includes NBC's Lipstick Jungle, Pepper Dennis, and Coupling. Which other actors are on TV's Most Wanted (and Least Lucky) List? Our top offenders: • Jason Gedrick: Truly impressive versatility in terms of the number of networks he's failed on. Victims include: Fox's Class of '96; CBS' Sweet Justice, Ez Streets, and Falcone; ABC's Murder One and The Beast; and NBC's Boomtown and Windfall.

Actor James Russo has signed on to star in the upcoming horror film “Dark Woods” starring Tracy Coogan and John Muscarnero. Russo appeared opposite Johnny Depp in Roman Polanski’s “The Ninth Gate” (1999), and portrayed mobster Victor Mura in TV’s short-lived “Falcone” the following year.
