Want New Episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT? You Got It! Find Out Where and When

At long last…it’s actually happening.

Are you ready for this?

New episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT are coming our way in 2013. Yes, I said new episodes.

According to Variety, Netflix has worked out a deal with 20th Century Fox and Imagine Television to bring the Bluth’s back. The studio just confirmed a deal with the streaming service that will launch new episodes of the Emmy-winning comedy as early as 2013.

Last month, at The New York Television Festival ,the producers announced that the much discussed ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie was indeed happening, but the news of new episodes took a lot of fans by surprise.

Star Jason Batemen confirmed the news via Twitter saying, “It’s true. We will do 10 episodes and the movie. Probably shoot them all together next summer for a release in early ’13. VERY excited!”

We hear you Jason, and we are VERY excited, too.

Where are all by Bluth-heads? Are you all excited for the return of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT? Talk to me.

GLEE’s Darren Criss Makes Big Screen Debut Opposite Kristen Wiig in “Imogene” – First Look

GLEE star Darren Criss will make his big screen debut in 2012 opposite Kristen Wiig, Annette Bening and Matt Dillon in the film ‘Imogene’.

In the movie, a playwright (Wiig) stages a suicide in an attempt to win back her ex, only to wind up in the custody of her gambling-addict mother (Bening).

Criss stars as Lee, a younger love interest to Wiig’s Imogene. According to sources, Lee moonlights as a boy bander. And based on these pics – one who isn’t afraid of a little guy-liner.

Do you think Darren Criss is ready for the big screen?

We certainly do (ok, probably not a shocker there).

Let’s face it, this guy is certainly not afraid of tacking different forms of mediums.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at the next episode of GLEE.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the full GLEE performance of ‘Rumor Has It’/’Someone Like You’ – it’s a fantastic musical moment.

StarKid SPACE Tour Interview Part II & Exclusive Ticket Giveaway

 

Just as we promised, we are back with part II of our recent chat with members StarKid. During part I of GIVE ME MY REMOTE’s exclusive StarKid interview we talked all about The SPACE Tour and what fans could expect when the tour hit their part of the country.

In the final installment of our interview, I asked Team StarKid some of YOUR fan questions.

Is the Starship story really over?

Are things ‘status quo’ on the Potter threequel front?

What fandoms are the StarKids excited about?

You’ll also find out which legendary character Joey Richter would like to play on the big screen; what Lauren Lopez and GLEE’s Quinn Fabray have in common (besides classmates); which StarKid Meredith Stepien would like to co-star with in a movie and much more.

The SPACE Tour Ticket Giveaway

Tickets are hard to come by, but StarKid wants YOU to be there. They’ve hooked me up with tickets to each of the remaining shows…and one special GMMR reader will score a pair of tickets to one of the final StarKid performances at Irving Plaza in NYC with special guest star, Darren Criss.

UPDATE: Sorry, the ticket giveaway is close and all the winners have been chosen and notified.  But I hope you’ll continue to share your favorite StarKid memories with us. I’ll be seeing Team StarKid next week when they come to Boston and I’m going to be sure to tell them to read all the wonderful memories and kind words you have shared. No doubt they will be touched.

Naya Rivera and Amber Riley Shine in GLEE’s 300th Musical Performance

I might not like the idea of McKinley High’s second glee club, but if The Troubletones continues to give us fantastic performances like this, I’m all for having Shelby and her girls stick around.

Next week’s episode will feature GLEE’s 300th musical performance. In a mash-up of Adele’s “Rumor Has It” and “Someone Like You”, Naya Rivera (Santana) and Amber Riley (Mercedes) prove yet again that together they are GLEE’s most powerful vocal twosome.

Check out this great GLEE musical moment.

(And snaps to all of you SYTYCD fans that noticed alums Comfort Fedoke and Jamie Goodwin strutting their stuff in the number.)

How amazing was that?

Jim Cantiello’s Hilarious New GLEE’-Cap – ‘Soft Focus Sexin’

The only thing better than last night’s episode of GLEE is Jim Cantiello’s MTV ‘GLEE’-cap. I’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for this video all day!

If you’re a fan of GLEE and don’t know about Jim’s legendary post-ep assessments, then do yourself a favor and go searching for them on MTV or YouTube. Each week he has me rolling…and he certainly didn’t disappoint this week.

StarKid Says Bye to YouTube with The SPACE Tour – Give Me My Remote.com Exclusive

In the 6+ years since starting Give Me My Remote.com, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing some of my very favorite television stars. One thing that never changes is how surreal it is to talk with someone, face-to-face, whom you’ve only ever seen on your TV.

So imagine how very odd it is to sit across from actors who you know only from YouTube.

Such was my experience recently when I had the immense pleasure of hanging with members of Team StarKid while they rehearsed for their recently launched SPACE Tour.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with StarKid, they are a theater group based in Chicago but born from the University of Michigan theater program. StarKid rose to cult fame when A Very Potter Musical –  a musical parody based on the ‘Harry Potter’ series – became an instant internet sensation. Originally posted on YouTube so it could be viewed by friends and family who couldn’t be in attendance for the original performance, A Very Potter Musical quickly and organically found its way into the hearts of the uber-passionate Potter fandom and from there a new fandom was born – the StarKid fandom.
