A new report provides character descriptions for the new faces we’ll be seeing in season 3 of Stranger Things. The smash hit Netflix series may not be returning until 2019, but the production team is already gearing up to begin filming this spring. Fans that were a bit overwhelmed by all the new characters that joined the fray in season 2 will be relieved to learn that the series is only looking to add three recurring guest star roles — for now, anyway.

Despite all the new additions, the focus of the series remains on the headlining group of pals (Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Will) and their families, as well as Chief Jim Hopper, of course. The kids remain the clear strength of the series, and while they may have gained a member last season in young Max, their effortless chemistry shined just as bright in season 2, which was arguably better than the show’s inaugural outing. The fresh faces in Hawkins, Indiana only added to the show’s awesomeness, with Paul Reiser’s Dr. Owens and Sean Astin’s Bob Newby emerging as standout newcomers.

It looks like Hawkins is set to get a bit more crowded in season 3, as That Hashtag Show is reporting that a trio of new characters will soon be added to the cast. The site also managed to snag detailed descriptions of those characters from their source, which you can check out for yourself below. (Note: the character names may be temporary placeholders.)

“Mayor Larry Kline.” Described as a classic, 80’s style slick politician, “Kline” is described as pathetic and driven only by his own interests. The studio is looking for a male, 40s-60s, to fill the role.

“Bruce.” A morally compromised news reporter in his 50s, “Bruce” was described as outwardly sexist, overweight and bedraggled.

“Patricia Brown.” “Patricia” seems to be filing the role of the sweet, neighborhood elder. The studio is looking for a woman in her 70s for the role which will see her spending a lot of time tending to her garden and offering her advice to the neighborhood kids. Given the Duffer brothers affinity for subverting expectations, we find ourselves wondering if this sweet old lady might have some connection to the Upside Down; then again, that might be just the type of thing they want us to think we know and she just ends up a sweet old lady

Given how much season 2’s cast additions ended up impacting the storyline, we wouldn’t be surprised to learn that there’s a bit more to these characters than their descriptions would imply. Any one of them could easily slide into an antagonistic role on the series — hell, all of them could. The smart money there is obviously on Mayor Kline and Bruce, but we certainly agree with That Hashtag Show that a “oh man, Patricia Brown is evil?!” twist would be pretty fantastic.

5# Reylo began in The Force Awakens

According to screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, the connection through the Force between Rey and Kylo Ren that Rian Johnson depicts in The Last Jedi began in The Force Awakens. During their interrogation scene when Kylo probed Rey’s mind, the doors to each other’s minds and memories opened up for both, forging their connection. The Story Group noted that such connections through the Force between characters who are otherwise opposed to each other have been seen before in canon, citing the connection between Ezra Bridger and Darth Maul in Star Wars: Rebels.

The moment at the end of The Last Jedi when Kylo Ren is kneeling in the Rebel base on Crait sees Rey through the Force, who then shuts the Millennium Falcon door is referred to as “The Godfather shot”. This references the final shot of Francis Ford Coppola’s film when Michael Corleone’s associates shut the door on his wife Kay, cutting her off from his life as the Godfather.

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS from The Walking Dead comics.

As AMC’s The Walking Dead shuffles to the end of All Out War in season 8, showrunner Scott Gimple promises that his version of the story will be drastically different from the comics in a finale that is almost “too big” for viewers to handle.

The TV world of The Walking Dead has always prided itself on shocking fans by playing fast and loose with the source material, using Robert Kirkman’s comics as only a guideline of how the zombie apocalypse should pan out on-screen. From the early graves of major characters – namely Laurie Holden’s Andrea and, more recently, Chandler Riggs’ Carl – the show has also given Melissa McBride’s Carol and extended shelf-life and created a whole new character in Norman Reedus’ Daryl. Now, as the ongoing war with Negan and his Saviors unfolds and reaches a precipice, Gimple is encouraging fans to throw out the rule book and prepare for an action-packed send-off.

In an interview with EW, Gimple told fans what they can (and, perhaps, can’t) expect when season 8 wraps up its remaining run of episodes.

“It’s very big. Probably currently a little too big. It was pretty amazing the scope of some of the things that we got to do. And yet the emotional intensity was insane. And it very much sets up the start of the next story.”

The comic book version of All Out War eventually comes to some sort of resolution as Rick spares Negan to make him his prisoner. As the issues go on and move into the next story arc, Negan becomes something of an awkward ally and even helps the Safe Zone defeat the threat of the Whisperers. However, there is a big question hanging over whether Andrew Lincoln’s screen version of Rick will be willing to spare Negan’s life? According to the showrunner, no one is safe as he offers some even bigger changes for his “big” finale:

“I think emotionally we’re aspiring to evoke the same feeling that [creator Robert Kirkman] achieved in the book. But from the butterfly effect and different characters around that weren’t and vice versa, and even just the thrust of the story, how things play out are quite different in a lot of ways. There are some big changes that change the very outcome of certain aspects of the story — still trying to be true to the emotions of the story, but changing some big parts of it. It plays out very differently.”

With Negan particularly eyeing the likes of Rick, Ezekiel, and Maggie, who knows who’s next on Lucille’s hit list? While a contract extension of Jeffrey Dean Morgan into season 9 would offer some tantalizing details, and maybe offer Rick and Negan a chance to bury the hatchet, the shocking extent of the Saviors’ violence has played out much more vividly on screens than in the comics. Ultimately, it will be up to new Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang to decide what to do with Gimple’s leftover plot threads when she takes over for season 9.

Either way, audiences won’t find out until April 15, when The Walking Dead‘s season 8 finale airs, but Gimple’s comments are sure to rattle a few cages. Alongside Carl’s surprising walker bite in the midseason finale, who knows what else Gimple has up his sleeve to keep viewers talking all the way to season 9. Even if Negan is left breathing after this season finale, it will likely be a decision that will split The Walking Dead fans down the middle, but hey, that’s why the show is different.

Keep up with The Walking Dead Sundays, 9pm ET on AMC.

4# The Meaning of “D.J”

Benecio Del Toro’s deceitful codebreaker named D.J. was intended to be a ‘politically agnostic character’ looking out only for himself and not interested in risking his neck for either side of the First Order vs. Resistance conflict. (Note that at early in the development process, Rian Johnson considered using Lando Calrissian before creating the D.J. character.) As part of D.J.’s backstory, it’s revealed “D.J.” is actually short for “Don’t Join!”, which was inspired by a classic Elvis Costello poster (see below). D.J.’s hat even has “Don’t Join” inscribed on the metal plating.

3# Hyperspace Ramming

Probably the most breathtaking moment in The Last Jedi is what the Lucasfilm Group refers to internally as The Holdo Hero Moment, when Vice Admiral Holdo sacrifices herself by jumping to hyperspace and ramming the Resistance flagship into Snoke’s Mega Star Destroyer, the Supremacy. Pablo Hidalgo notes that it’s the mass of the Raddus that allows Holdo’s gambit to succeed. An X-Wing or a small fighter jumping to lightspeed could never do significant damage to a ship the size of the Supremacy, but the great mass of the comparably-sized Raddus made it a devastating battering ram that sliced right though the Mega Star Destroyer.

The sound design, specifically in the case of this moment, the decision to cut the sound so the moment plays in the proper silence of deep space, another vital component that makes the scene so effective and memorable.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the gift that keeps on giving. Rian Johnson’s film is layered with all kinds of fun easter eggs and secrets which fans have enjoyed uncovering.

Members of the Lucasfilm Story Group, Pablo Hidalgo, Leeland Chee, Matt Martin, and Rayne Roberts, recently sat down with Andi Gutierrez of The Star Wars Show to discuss the secrets of The Last Jedi. Together, the group revealed tons of secrets about the film and how myriad tiny details within connect to previous films and the greater Star Wars canon. These are details many fans can miss even after repeat viewings, but knowing them adds a deeper level of understanding of the craft and care that went into making The Last Jedi.

Above this post are ten cool secrets Lucasfilm revealed about The Last Jedi:

Good things come in small packages. At least that seems to be what Gotham is hinting at with its three-week storyline teasing the resurrected Jerome Valeska’s continued evolution into what appears to be the Joker. After already taking a few weeks off during the holidays, the Batman prequel series returned for a short stint, so that Jerome could terrorize the citizenry of the gloomy metropolis and maybe have a little one-on-one time with Bruce Wayne. It’s an odd move for the series to make, as the on again, off again nature of the show’s scheduling runs counter to how most audiences watch TV these days, but it does have the positive effect of making these Jerome-centric hours feel self-contained and a little more noteworthy.

So far, this three-week interlude has taken the speculation that Jerome is indeed this series’ version of the Clown Prince of Crime and gone about as far as it can go without simply calling him that. After being surprisingly struck down early on in season 2, Jerome has been out of the picture since then, but after Gotham revealed death is by no means the end for anyone thanks to Dr. Hugo Strange, it was only a matter of time before the laughing maniac was back on the streets, causing trouble for Jim Gordon and the rest of the G.C.P.D.

And it’s a good thing, too, as Jerome brings a necessary kinetic energy to the show that is sorely missed when he’s not running around, chasing after they guy who absconded with his face or otherwise. Now that it’s been established that the Proto-Joker is back, Gotham is gearing up for a big showdown between the newly scarred villain and those who’ve sworn to protect the city. This time, though, the show knows what a draw it has in Jerome, and makes him the star in a new extended midseason finale trailer.

Watch Trailer On Post⬆⬆

The trailer acts as a bit of a refresher for the recent life of Jerome Valeska. For those who’ve been keeping tabs on Gotham, some of what’s in the “White Band” promo will be like a recap, but for everyone else, this three-minute-long ad may be enough to pique their interest. If nothing else it serves as an impressive reel of Cameron Monaghan’s character work, as he seemingly blends bits of past Joker performances into his own Proto-Joker routine. Just watching the clip it’s apparent Monaghan was inspired by Heath Ledger’s take on the character.

Perhaps with ‘The Gentle Art of Making Enemies’ Gotham will finally get around to confirming Jerome as the Joker. After all, it’s not like this new trailer is shy about tossing the word around. Still, Gotham has gone this far without giving the character that particular moniker, so maybe the series plans to make viewers wait a little longer.

Gotham continues Monday with ‘The Gentle Art of Making Enemies’ @8pm on FOX.

Fullmetal Alchemist Live Action Movie Trailer 2017

With the rise in box office dominance from the Asian markets, it comes as no surprise that manga adaptations are a hot commodity. Despite outcries over claims of whitewashing surrounding Ghost in the Shell and its casting, that film is still expected to have a big impact on the overseas markets. The recent announcement of Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki coming out of retirement (again) for one last film also stirred up much excitement from fans of manga and anime. With the release of the first teaser for the live action Fullmetal Alchemist back in November, this adaptation is picking up steam as it moves closer to its winter release date. Fullmetal Alchemist began as a Japanese manga from writer and illustrator Hiromu Arakawa. Initially published by Square Enix (video game developer, publisher, and distribution company) in a monthly magazine format, the series eventually got its own 27 volume collection. Square Enix is probably better known outside of Japan for the Final Fantasy franchise and its absorption of Eidos, the developer originally responsible for Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, and the Hitman series’. Fullmenal Alchemist has seen several adaptations from the original manga including two anime series, novels, audio novels, and even RPG video games ahead of the latest live action feature film. The Anime News Network (h/t to CBR) pointed out the film’s official Twitter account released new stills from the film. One of the images looks like it was lifted from the trailer as it shows Edward fighting an iron beast in the streets. The other image shows the two brothers standing in a train station, likely before they set off to find a way to put Alphonse’s soul back into a body. The short teaser trailer for Fullmetal Alchemist introduced Edward and Alphonse Elric; the two brothers on whom the story is based. With Edward now dismembered and Alphonse body-less, the two must work to find a way to restore themselves after their illegal transmutation attempt to save their mother went horribly wrong. Despite the many volumes of original content, the film’s director, Fumihiko Sori, aims to tell of the brothers travels in one film. The ambitious story telling sets off in the world of Amestris, where several antagonists and untold alchemical reactions await the brothers on their journey. The film stars Japanese pop star Ryōsuke Yamada as Edward, with Dean Fujioka as Roy Mustang (a friend to the Elrics), and Tsubasa Honda as Winry Rockbell (another friend and potential love interest to Edward). The manga has sold more than 65 million copies since its initial collection into volumes in 2005; making it one of the most popular mangas of all time in Japan. The anime adaptation even won five American Anime Awards in 2007; but will its previous success translate to a box office hit? Fullmetal Alchemist is set for a December 2017 release in Japan, but has no US release date yet.

9# Rian Johnson and Freinds Cameos

“Rian Johnson has a lot of friends,” Hidalgo says, and he isn’t joking. The director invited many of his filmmaker peers to cameo in The Last Jedi. Edgar Wright appears with the Resistance in Crait (see photo above), as does Attack the Block director Joe Cornish. Noah Segan, who has been in every Rian Johnson film, portrayed X-Wing pilot Stomeroni Starck (the Lucasfilm Story Group is not sure if he survived to the end of the movie).

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who has also appeared in every Rian Johnson film, was the voice of Slowen-Lo, the “concerned neighbor” who complained to Canto Bight authorities about Rose and Finn parking their shuttle on the beach. (The shuttle received multiple parking tickets as an Easter egg.) Rian himself is believed to have voiced the alien toasting on the yacht as it floated over the waterfall on Canto Bight.

Classic Star Wars cameos include Mark Hamill providing the motion capture and voice over as Dobbu Scay, the alien gambler feeding coins into BB-8 on Canto Bight. and Hamill’s three children pop up in a cameo as well. Star Wars veteran Warwick Davis and his daughter also played two of the three aliens called The Lucky Three gambling in the casino.

8# The Rogue One connection

The sacrifices of the Rogue One team in that film end up as an Easter egg of major significance in The Last Jedi. Late in Rogue One, when Jyn Erso is scanning all of the Empire’s projects in development, eagle-eyed fans can spot that hyperspace tracking was one of the projects. As the Resistance found out to its detriment in The Last Jedi, hyperspace tracking is a technology the First Order now has decades later. The Story Group notes this was not in the original script but was added later in by post-production team as a way to bridge films and show continuity.

Rogue One‘s director, Gareth Edwards himself, has a cameo in The Last Jedi. He’s prominent on Crait as a Resistance soldier standing in the foxhole next to man who tasted the salt. In further homage to his film, “R.1” is written in Aurebesh on Edwards’ tunic. Edwards’ cameo is payback for Rian Johnson’s cameo in Rogue One. Johnson plays one of the Imperial officers standing next to the Death Star laser as it fires from its cannon.

7# Leia's hologram was from the Archives

Rian Johnson’s production team went back and found the Lucasfilm archival footage of Carrie Fisher from 1977 and used that footage to recreate the hologram of her famous “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi…” plea that R2-D2 uses as “a dirty trick” to try to rouse Luke back to the fight. Hidalgo notes that Johnson’s team added more distortion to show that the hologram had aged and the image has degraded. That hologram has been inside of Artoo since A New Hope.

2#Hans Solo Dice

Han Solo’s dice is one of the most significant objects in the film. Originally, J.J. Abrams shot a scene in The Force Awakens where Han placed the dice back in the Millennium Falcon cockpit. Rian Johnson saw this and decided to make the dice more prominent in The Last Jedi – taken by Luke from the cockpit and given to Leia via the Force on Crait – only for Johnson to find out later that J.J. cut that scene. The dice are still in the cockpit of the Falcon in Episode VII (and the scene is in the novelization), but the movie doesn’t call any attention to them.

Instead of a callback to a scene in The Force Awakens that no longer exists, the dice ends up becoming more of a legacy nod to A New Hope. The true significance is Han Solo’s spirit, which now carries over into The Last Jedi. The Story Group members also imply that fans may see the dice again, most likely in the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story.
