Comic Con: Fox Web Series Celebrates 2nd Season!

The following has been taken from Fox Web Series' Official Blog:

San Diego Comic Con celebrated the second season of Fox over the weekend. Although it wasn't so much of an announcement, it was the first time anyone from the show acknowledged rumors and theories regarding the future of everyone's favorite bad girl. Monroe Hayden, show-runner, producer and actress, talked during a panel about what to expect and how it was to create the series form scratch.

Here's what the talk included:

Season One

- It takes 4 hours to edit 2 minutes (sometimes even more).

- The show was inspired by fairytales, Disney movies, (and yes)American Horror Story, Marvel's Daredevil and Game Of Thrones. 

- The "one shot" fight scene was actually 5 shots put together and took over 50 man hours. It was inspired by Marvel's Daredevil.

- Michael Lozano was not replaced by Hunter Tabiendo. His schedule changed unexpectedly and was not available to shoot but was committed to do what he could to fulfill his contract and the show, so he provided Xander's voice. Hunter, who is also Monroe Hayden's cousin, saved the show by standing in. Due to scheduling, Xander will not be returning as a regular but he may return as a guest.

- Brandon Teague, executive producer, passed away in December but years before, he was the one who Fox her real name: Tristan Turner. She was named after the hero from Tristan & Isolde and artist, Michael Turner.

Season Two

- Entire season will be released at once so viewers can binge watch.

- Daisy will join the cast along with Priscilla, Bethany and even Rebecca.

- With Xander no longer being in the show, a new villain will step in and he has a past with Fox's parents.

- Allyson Moyer will return as Mina Abrams and that her character will be a bad ass.

- Daisy and Fox's relationship will not be as it was written in the books but it will be in the spirit of it.

- The season will include horror elements as it did last season and follow in the same footsteps with the psychological theme.

COMIC CON: Game of Thrones Highlights

HBO's Game of Thrones following two seasons will the series last and not only that, it will be delayed due to wintry conditions. 

The following has been taken from Deadline.com

The panel kicked off with a comedy video featuring McElhenney and fellow It’s Always Sunny cast member Charlie Day riffing on the Thrones‘ signature warning “Winter is coming” and complaining about the fact that winter never seems to arrive. After that, the panel began — and if you’ve read anything about the show or interviews with its cast or crew in the past few months, you already know everything that was discussed. The biggest highlight, at least for me, was Nairn becoming visibly moved when he talked about the fan reaction to his character and the emotional outpouring following Hodor’s death.
Among the other highlights:
Early on in the panel discussion, Benioff and Weiss — by way of apologizing for inarticulate answers to fan questions — claimed that Turner forced everyone to take a shot of vodka just before they went onstage. If that was true, it would explain why everyone on the panel appeared, let’s say, “tired.” Maybe it was vodka, or maybe they all treated their glaucoma, but the discussion was absolutely loose and lackadaisical.
All the cast members gave wildly different answers as to who they want to see sitting on the Iron Throne, but the best response came from Rheon, who said he would prefer that it be melted down and the monarchy replaced with a democracy.

6 Random Actors Who Are Actually Pretty Smart

Sometimes it’s hard to remember that actor’s have backgrounds beyond the screen. Although some may play dumb on film every now and then, some actually aren’t. Here are 6 random actors, and by random I mean: just people I've looked up recently after watching their shows, who are more than pretty faces.

 James Franco

The Pineapple Express actor played a not- so smart, drug dealer in the buddy film that may have just gave him immortality but did you know that in the middle of his career he actually went back to school? He attended UCLA and took a few extension courses in literature and creative writing, loved it so much that he decided to keep going and even persuaded his advisors to give him the maximum course load (62 units) while still making movies! In two year, he earned his degree in English with a 3.5 GPA- but wait, he didn’t stop there! The man wrote a novel for his thesis. Would you believe me if I said he still stop there? No? Well, jokes on you because he kept going! After UCLA he enrolled in six other university’s: NYU, Columbia, Brooklyn College, Warren Wilson, Rhode Island School for Design and Yale. Feeling bad about yourself? Yeah. Thought so. He ended up earning his Ph. D in English.

David Duchovny 

Before becoming an actor, The X- Files star attended Princeton where he earned his Bachelor’s in Literature then went on to attend Yale where he earned his Masters in English. He then attempted to earn his Ph. D but has yet to complete his requirements. He has, however wrote two novels, Holy Cow: A Modern- Day Dairy Tale and Bucky F*cking Dent. Fox Mulder has got some brains, speaking of foxes…

Monroe Hayden

Although the Fox star is just starting out, you’d be impressed with the work she put in for the show included in her IMDb resume, so we did some research. Before becoming a filmmaker, the actress earned her degree in Law and Society with minors in Anthropology, History and Art. She now owns her own production company, SkySoft Entertainment.

Bradley Cooper

The former “Sexiest Man Alive” winner earned his degree in English from Georgetown before earning his MFA in acting from Actor’s Studio Drama School at The New School. He also studied abroad in France. No wonder he became the sexiest man alive.

Anna Popplewell

You may recognize her for playing Susan Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia when she was 15 but she’s not so little anymore. She went on to attend Oxford University to study English. To keep herself busy, she joined Oxford University Dramatic Society where she played in various theater productions including Lady Macbeth.

Reminder We All Forget About Henry VIII

Henry VIII was actually described to be quite attractive in his youth. Because he was originally the “spare heir” he had a bit more freedom than his elder brother Arthur, Prince of Wales. Henry enjoyed jousting and fencing, both of which are very physical. He was taller than Arthur and his father. His shoulders were broad and his physique was athletic. Because he was an athlete, he naturally had a big appetite which was kept under control through his daily exercises. When he unexpectedly became heir to the throne due to the untimely death of Arthur, he was sheltered from harsh physical activities that could have doomed consequences. When he became king he practiced jousting in public tournaments. This went on for a while, Catherine, his wife had Mary already. But then he was in a jousting accident where his physicians actually thought he was dead. I think he was really unconscious but due to the armor and leather, they couldn’t tell if Henry was alive. He woke up with an injured leg that ended up causing him much pain throughout the rest of his life due to it never fully able to heal. Henry could not joust again. Since he naturally had a big appetite, he was used to eating a lot. It was also recorded that Henry started to binge eat due to stress; he was obsessed with going to war with France, looking for any opportunity to invade. Big appetite + Binge eating = Obesity. His weight was a huge factor to his unhealthy state.

Main Thing to Know While Watching 'Troy'

Helen of Troy was not a real person recorded in history. She is a Greek mythological character. Although Troy has been proven to have been a real place in what is now Turkey, the woman, Helen: who’s face was described to have “launched a thousand ships” has not been proven to have existed. The only information we have of her is the Judgment of Paris when Aphrodite promises to give Paris the most beautiful mortal woman in the world if he chose her as the most fairest goddess and gave her the Golden Apple over Hera and Athena.

He was foolish and did so but the consequences had cost him the his country and the lives of his father and elder brother, Hector. This was due to Helen being married to the King of Sparta when she was given to Paris. The King of Sparta, Menelaus, was the brother of King Agamemnon who had the power to command the Greek armed forces against Troy. Athens is a part of Greece. Athena is the goddess that the city is named after and worships. And Hera was the protector of married women. Both Athena and Hera fought with the Greeks. Athena is the goddess of strategic war and Hera is the source to the term, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Troy didn’t stand a chance.
