Justin Hartley is enjoying the rewards of his hard work — literally.

PEOPLE has the exclusive trailer for season 2 of CBS'sTracker, which stars Hartley, 47, as Colter Shaw, a rewardist who traverses the country working as part private eye, part survivalist in order to help law enforcement find people in exchange for money.

The trailer teases audiences by showing Colter back on the job as a montage of scenes from the upcoming season flash by, including him sharing a steamy kiss with a possible new love interest. But will this new flame become a distraction to his work?

"I'm making sure you haven't done anything stupid," asks Colter's business handler Velma Bruin (Abby McEnany).

Seemingly being asked again about what he's been up to, Colter says he doesn't "want to talk about it," resulting in tech expert Bobby Exley (Eric Graise) noting how that "sounds sus."

Other scenes in the montage include everything from a car ride with older brother Russell (Jensen Ackles) to a surprise moment featuring the return of fellow bounty hunter Billie Matalon, played by Hartley's wife, Sofia Pernas.

Ackles' return as Colter's brother was confirmed by Hartley himself, who also serves as an executive producer on Tracker, during the Summer Television Critics Association 2024 Press Tour in California in July.

“We got him, he’s coming back,” Hartley said. “We’re having fun with that. It’s a great story.”

Other returning characters include lawyer Reenie Green, played by Fiona Rene.

Though Hartley previously told PEOPLE that he likes “the fact that Colter doesn't have a girlfriend," a possible enemies-to-lovers romance with Billie might be in his character's future based on the trailer.

"Aren't you mister popular," Billie says in the clip while she walks up to a bar where Colter is seated.

The two can then be seen dancing briefly before Rene says in a voice-over, "Notice I didn't ask about you and Billie," to which Colter answers, "Can we just focus on the work?"

Last season, Pernas, 34, guest starred on the show’s sixth episode, titled “Lexington," introducing viewers to her character and the will-they-won't-they dynamic between Billie and Colter.

Colter even asked Billie out to dinner — an idea she, herself, had pitched earlier in the episode — but Billie shockingly declined.

“I think��she is terrified of being vulnerable, and I think if she had dinner with him, she would have to address the pink elephant in the room inside of herself and be like, ‘Oh crap, I actually like this guy,’” Pernas previously told PEOPLE of her character’s decision. “I think she is someone who probably doesn't like to address her feelings as readily as she addresses other things.”

Season 2 of Tracker premieres on Oct. 13 on CBS at 8 p.m. EST.

28 September 2019 - Listening to the dulcet tones of Shiyoon Kim...

So getting back into the art mindset, I’m listening to art based YouTube videos again as I work. Below is a list of the types of videos I find motivating to listen to whilst drawing or painting as the mind can wonder and I don’t need to concentrate 100% on the task at hand...

1. Artist interviews; usually animation or visual development artists (Bobby Chiu’s YouTube channel is just a treasure trove of these type of interviews! It’s just a gold mine! He’s interviewed so many of the experienced animators / visual development artists working in the industry with big name production companies) 2. Artist advice; the long hour long video variety though....(I like videos by Adam Duff LUCIDPIXUL, Marco Bucci and Proko) 3. Artist vlogs; videos on the daily bustling of artists and the managing of their business (For these type of videos Katnipp Illustration, Frannerd, Leigh Ellexson, trickywagon, Holly Exley and Minnie Small are really good!!!)

So what I wanted to say is whilst listening to this interview “Artist Interview with Shiyoon Kim” by Bobby Chiu, you get a little insight into the journey Shiyoon Kim (who has worked on productions such as Tangled, Frozen, Big Hero 6 and Zootopia) has been through in his animation career. Whilst I was listening I started to feel overwhelmed hearing about the sheer amount of experience in the industry he already had before he got to his career working at Disney; his meeting with Hayao Miyazaki, working with the Futurama production, etc... The question is do you ever feel like that??? On the journey to achieving this dream career...this vocation...that the shear amount of work needed is a little overwhelming and you start thinking...”wow! It’s a lot I’m gonna need to do to get there...”

But at the same time, it does give some motivation in the sense of right...well that’s the level of excellence needed. Time to get down to business and start getting involved then... That’s the mindset I’m having at the moment...I’ve been wasting time so right now I just have to plough ahead, I have to put myself into this race...into the running instead of sitting on the sidelines...

#doughnut #Don'tDroptheDoughnut #donut #DonutDroptheDoughnut #art talk #art motivations #art mindsets #listening to artist interviews whilst working #hoping some of that wisdom soaks in via audio osmosis #that I will learn some nuggets of wisdom #motivation highs and lows #but gotta keep going no matter what #I will sound pretentious but #for me art is more than a hobby #it's all I want to do #I think this is why I haven't given up on it even all these years after graduation #looking back though I do wish I had this level of want in art at university #better late than never though #always keep in mind the story of Yuko Shimizu #she changed careers mid way through #but she killing it now with her art career #also listened to another Bobby Chiu interview with #Ami Thompson #How these people have all this art experience #they must be productivity beasts

The X-Files, Fight Club, and More – The Weekend Chill

New Post has been published on http://secondcovers.com/the-x-files-fight-club-and-more-ndash-the-weekend-chill/

The X-Files, Fight Club, and More – The Weekend Chill

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Last Friday, Syfy gave us a new image and premiere date for Krypton, the Superman prequel series set on his native planet about 200 years before his birth. It’ll arrive March 21.

Over the weekend, John Williams revealed in an interview that he’d be composing a theme for Solo: A Star Wars Story. The rest of the score is still being handled by John Powell. The standalone Han Solo film releases May 25.

The 32 Most Anticipated Movies of 2018

On Tuesday, Netflix released a brief teaser for A Series of Unfortunate Events season 2, starring Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf. The show returns March 30, and adapts books five to nine.

Later that day, Paramount announced that the next Cloverfield movie – which may or may not be called God Particle – has been moved back to April 20 from February. The film stars Daniel Brühl, Elizabeth Debicki, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw among others.

On Wednesday, Netflix said that a Bright sequel is in the works, with stars Will Smith and Joel Edgerton along with director David Ayer all attached. This confirms the Bloomberg report from two weeks ago.

That’s all the entertainment news for this week. Welcome back to The Weekend Chill, your one-stop destination for what to watch, play, or listen to this weekend. Here are the best picks:

TV: The X-Files Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny reprise their roles as FBI special agents for an eleventh year in the second year of the show’s revival era, whose rating success (despite negative critical reception) convinced Fox to greenlit a 10-episode new season. The premiere and finale will focus on the long-arc storyline, with the other episodes being standalone.

Recurring and guest stars include Annabeth Gish, Robbie Amell, Lauren Ambrose, Karin Konoval, Barbara Hershey, and Haley Joel Osment. Scully (Anderson) and Mulder (Duchovny) attempt to locate their son at the beginning of the series, while battling a mysterious organisation led by Erika Price (Hershey).

The X-Files season 1 has gotten average to good reviews from critics, with Vox’s Todd VanDerWerff surprised “how rejuvenated it feels”, and terming it “a damn sight better than the 2016 one”. Uproxx’s Alan Sepinwall concurred with VanDerWerff that it’s not anywhere near its season-three peak, but “it’s much better than it has any business being, particularly given what we got two years ago”.

Grown-ish In the penultimate episode of the third season of ABC’s popular African-American family sitcom Black-ish, the eldest daughter Zoey Johnson (Yar Shahidi) went off to college. Usually, audiences would just see less of her from the next season – as has become the case with the ongoing season 4 – but here, she’s gotten her own spin-off.

Stylised like the original, Grown-ish follows Zoey as she begins her freshman year at Southern California University. Joining her is Charlie Telphy (Deon Cole) – now part of Black-ish’s main cast – f and Aaron (Trevor Jackson), who has a recurring role on Black-ish. New cast members include Francia Raisa, Chris Parnell, Emily Arlook, and Jordan Buhat.

Reviews for the show’s first season – critics have seen a few episode – are mostly positive, with EW’s Dana Schwartz praising Shahidi’s chemistry with her Latina Republican roommate Ana (Raisa) and the snappy dialogue, while Variety’s Maureen Ryan called it “a smart, breezy expansion of the Black-ish family”.

Rotten Do you like true crime shows and are concerned about food production? This Netflix original documentary series is tailored especially for you then. Rotten focuses on the growing global food industry, exposing the corruption, waste and dangers of your everyday eating habits. “The food industry is under full-scale assault,” the trailer narrates. “The crisis is global.”

Episodes will look at the honey industry – a scam known as Honeygate that involved smuggling in inferior honey from China via Australia to the US – alongside the rise of severe food allergies, chicken farms, organic and unpasteurized milk, and regulation of the fishing industry. The show comes from the same production company that regularly collaborates with Anthony Bourdain.

“In a world where huge global supply-chains are increasingly intertwined and consolidated, this series starts on your dinner plate… and follows the money to the shocking consequences – intended or not – of regulation, innovation and greed,” Netflix’s official description for Rotten reads.

Movies: Fight Club We’re going to talk about Fight Club (sorry). The film that gave the world’s youth endlessly-quotable lines, that gave the generation some good values and some screwed-up ones, and that inspired foolish individuals to start their own fight clubs, completely missing the point the film – directed by David Fincher, and based on Chuck Palahniuk’s novel – was trying to make.

For the unaware, Fight Club stars Edward Norton as the unnamed protagonist and narrator, who’s disgruntled with his white-collar job. He visits support groups for terminal disease patients just to have someone to talk to. He meets Brad Pitt’s soap salesman on a flight one day, and starts a “fight club” with him, where they organise bare-knuckle boxing matches for people like them.

Fight Club was one of the most controversial films of the year in 1999, and though it received polarising reception from critics, it has gone on to become one of the greatest films of its time. Pitt’s acting, Fincher’s work, and the anti-consumerism message make it a must-watch.

L.A. Confidential Two decades on, it’s still a surprise that L.A. Confidential – a brilliantly written, powerfully acted, and gritty depiction of 1953 Los Angeles mixing police corruption and Hollywood – lost most Oscar categories it was nominated in to Titanic. (If you love Titanic, please go away.) But it did pick up two very well-deserved awards, Best Screenplay and Kim Basinger for Best Supporting Actress.

Basinger plays a call girl who looks a lot like a popular film star, and she becomes central to an investigation into a multiple murder at a coffee shop after two detectives – Bud White (Russell Crowe) and Ed Exley (Guy Pearce) – discover ties to the call girl service operator. The film also stars Kevin Spacey as a “Hollywood” detective, so whether that influences your decision to watch it given the recent revelations, is up to you.

L.A. Confidential is one of the best films of its era, with a 99 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 90 score on Metacritic. It’s dark, cynical, pessimistic and twisted, and it manages to craft compelling characters and wade into their psychology, while still being a taut crime thriller.

Fantastic Mr. Fox Wes Anderson has a new stop-motion animated feature on the way, and his previous venture – a comedy based on Roald Dahl’s children’s book about a fox who steals food from three mean and wealthy farmers – is a fantastic (pardon us) family adventure all-around. It’s also got a terrific voice cast: George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, and Owen Wilson among others.

Clooney and Streep voice Mr. and Mrs. Fox, who’ve built a peaceful life for themselves after time as thieves. But after 12 years, Mr. Fox’s animal instincts pull him back into his old life as a chicken thief, which puts not just his family but the whole animal community at risk. The farmers are determined to catch him at any cost, which forces the Foxes underground.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is a whole-hearted funny romp for people of all ages, full of personality, charm, wit and emotional undercurrents, and brought to life beautifully by set designers and animation directors, alongside a wonderful score by Alexandre Desplat.

Other mentions: For those who’ve seen every movie listed above, and want something more recent, there are a few choices on Blu-ray: the Tom Cruise-starrer American Made, based on the true story of a pilot who became a drug smuggler for the Medellín Cartel in the 80s; Emma Stone and Steve Carrell in Battle of the Sexes, which is loosely based on the 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs; and Ben Stiller in Brad’s Status, where he re-examines his life while on a college tour with his son.

If you’re on the lookout for more new TV, Showtime has a coming-of-age drama from Lena Waithe – Emmy-winner with Aziz Ansari for Master of None season 2’s “Thanksgiving” episode – called The Chi, with rapper Common as an executive producer. It’s set in the South Side of Chicago with Jason Mitchell (Straight Outta Compton) in the lead, who dreams of opening a restaurant. It starts Sunday in the US, and might be available on Hotstar in India, given the latter’s deal with CBS.

There’s also BBC One mini-series McMafia, inspired by journalist Misha Glenny’s book of the same name, which focuses on the British-raised son of a Russian mafia boss who’s trying to get away from the family business. You can watch it via BBC iPlayer.

Star Trek: Discovery, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, One Day at a Time, and More on Netflix in January

Beyond that, given it’s the start of the month (and year), all streaming services have added tons of new content. On Netflix, you can find the third season of Jane the Virgin; the first and only season of One Punch Man, the anime about a superhero who can kill anyone with one blow and how that depresses him, and both versions of Fullmetal Alchemist, the 2003 one that was made before the manga was complete, and the 2009 edition Brotherhood that’s more faithful to the source material.

Meanwhile, Hotstar now has every single episode of The X-Files, starting from the first episode in 1993 to the latest one that came out this week (as mentioned earlier). It has also brought back The Wire – one of the greatest series of all-time – in addition to all nine seasons of 24, and all 12 seasons of Bones.

Was Justin Hartley nervous about the launch of his new drama series, Tracker, which had the honor of premiering in this year’s coveted post–Super Bowl timeslot? According to the actor formerly known as Kevin Pearson on NBC‘s This Is Us, not until the intense 49ers–Chiefs game went into overtime. “I was like, ‘Oh, so we’re asking people to tune in [to our show] at 11:15 pm?’” he says.

Thanks to what Hartley calls “the power of the Super Bowl, the power of Taylor Swift, the power of the NFL and a really great game,” those worries were short-lived, as 18.4 million live viewers stayed up for Tracker’s premiere (with multiplatform numbers, that audience has climbed to more than 33 million). Beyond that solid debut, episodes in the drama’s regular timeslot averaged a strong 7.2 million live viewers.

“All of that is a testament to how good of a show we’re putting out, and it’s just getting better,” the actor, who is also an executive producer, proudly tells TV Guide Magazine while shooting in Vancouver. “Sometimes the entertainment factor of what we do gets lost when you pay attention to numbers. The ratings for me at this point show we are entertaining a large group of people, which I love, and that’s why we’re doing it.”

On the surface, Tracker—which is based on Jeffery Deaver’s bestselling novel The Never Game—resembles many of CBS’s successful procedurals, with the format of noble heroes solving mysteries and saving lives. In this case, it’s a singular savior: stoic professional tracker Colter Shaw (Hartley), who travels across the U.S. collecting cash rewards while helping citizens locate missing persons. But the familiar case-of-the-week element is where the similarities to shows like NCIS or FBI end.

“I remember the initial pitch to the studio,” says executive producer-director Ken Olin, who worked with Hartley on This Is Us and brought him Deaver’s book as their next project. “Colter’s not encumbered by the same restrictions that all these procedurals have, where there’s a base they live out of and they have to adhere to the law.” Instead, the independent contractor is his own boss, traveling to cities like St. Louis and Chicago in an Airstream trailer.

“There’s a throwback element, like The Rockford Files, with this guy going into a new world” weekly, says executive producer Elwood Reid. (Olin cites Then Came Bronsonand The Fugitive as series in the same vein of Tracker.) “This was more of a character redress of a procedural because so much of it comes from this character, what he does and the cases he takes.” Reid adds that Colter “is not a cop doing a job. He’s this guy doing this thing for his own personal reasons.”

While Hartley says Colter is “all heart” when on the job, he keeps an emotional distance. That’s in part due to his painful family drama, which viewers got a taste of in the pilot episode: Colter’s tracker-teaching father, Ashton (Lee Tergesen), ended up dead from a cliff fall—with Colter’s older brother, Russell (Matthew Nelson-Mahood), seemingly responsible. The mystery surrounding that event begins to accelerate with the May 5 episode and continues through the May 19 season finale, shaking up the recluse.

Michael Courtney / CBS

“Colter finds out some stuff that does rattle him,” teases Hartley, careful not to reveal too much. “If it happened to me, I wouldn’t be able to sleep thinking that certain people in my life lied to me or misled me intentionally. It changes his family dynamic quite a bit.”

As his past disrupts his present, there’s opportunity for the lone wolf to lean on the team who remotely help him on cases, like brainy Chicago-based techie Bobby Exley (Eric Graise) and caring married couple Teddi (Robin Weigert) and Velma (Abby McEnany), who field Colter’s assignments and provide vital intel from Denver. Then there’s brash traveling lawyer Reenie Greene (Fiona Rene), who shares a slowly simmering spark with Colter. In the April 28 episode, Reenie has a personal connection to his missing-children case in Oregon and comes in to help. “They spend a lot of that episode together, not romantically, but you see there is a relationship,” says Reid, adding, “It’s the biggest story we’ve ever done.”

WithTracker already renewed for Season 2, Hartley is “excited about the endless possibilities and the characters that we can bring in.” Could that include another appearance from wife Sofia Pernas, who played fellow reward seeker and rival Billie Matalon in Episode 6? Leave it to TV’s newest detective: “I know a guy, if we can get her!”
