Legendary television writer Norman Lear recently renewed the overall deal he has with Sony. The deal is set to take Lear into his 100th year on this planet of ours.

Variety published a feature about the 97-year-old Lear, but it was just a small part of that feature that set the ol’ internet on fire today. In it there is a quote from Sony Pictures Entertainment chairman and CEO Tony Vinciquerra, who says that some “very famous people” have approached Sony with hopes of remaking the 1987 fairy tale classic The Princess Bride, which was executive produced by Lear. You can see what he had to say below.

Universal Pictures has released an official trailer for Black Christmas, a remake of the 1974 holiday horror of the same name which stars Imogen Poots and is directed by Sophia Takal.

You can find much more info on Black Christmas and check out the trailer and a poster below.

When it comes to the teaser trailers for Stranger Things, you can expect to see… nothing. But that is purely by design. The teaser trailers do reveal something, though: episode titles. And these titles will leave us speculating on what we will see and how they serve as a device to move the show forward. Now, Netflix is giving us our first look at those titles for Season 3, a lot of which has to do with what we have seen and heard in the past, which includes more references to the ’80s. Check out the titles and the trailer here below.

Netflix has announced the casting of a pair of new faces for Stranger Things season three.

The streaming service has announced that Cary Elwes, best known for his roles in films like The Princess Bride, Glory, Saw, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and Jake Busey, who starred in Starship Troopers, The Frighteners, Identity, and the upcoming Predator movie being directed by Shane Black, have joined the cast of the hit series. The two actors have been cast in “guest performer” roles.

Continue below to see which characters they’ll be playing in Stranger Things season three.

The iconic photo of President Richard Nixon shaking hands with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Elvis Presley is often described as strange and bizarre. But if it wasn’t for that historic meeting, Liza Johnson’s new comedy, Elvis & Nixon, starring Michael Shannon and Kevin Spacey, as the respective icons, would not be happening.

Johnson’s new film documents the two real-life figures meeting for the first time at the White House’s Oval Office, but there is more to this event than a photo-op. The story behind this meeting is that Elvis really wanted a badge from the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, and would go as far as offering his services to the President to be an agent to get one.

Now we have our first look from the film, hit the jump to check it out.

As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From the Making of the Princess Bride
Hardcover | Kindle Edition | Audiobook
Written by Cary Elwes with Joe Layden
Forward by Rob Reiner
Simon & Schuster/Touchstone Books
Release Date: October 14, 2014

This is a fan book — a book from a fan to the fans. Actor Cary Elwes is the ultimate Princess Bride fan. His book, As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From the Making of the Princess Bride, written with some help from Joe Layden, and including a forward from director Rob Reiner, tells the tale of this fairytale, as a fairytale. This is not a negative criticism. It comes from a magical place. Elwes, who starred in the film, gushes about that experience from the first page to the last, and the rest of the cast, Reiner, Andy Scheinmen, Norman Lear, and William Goldsmith, author of the book and screenplay, contribute many first-person accounts of their experiences, echoing Cary’s sentiments. The Princess Bride was the first major acting job of Elwes’s career, and the one that he will be remembered for, for the rest of his life and beyond.

One of the last panels of New York Comic-Con on Sunday night, Cary Elwes, Farmboy/Dread Pirate Roberts/Westley of The Princess Bride, spoke to a packed house about his new book, As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride, on sale October 14th.

Cary Elwes’ first order of business was to thrill the panel with his signature line, “As you wish” (see clip below).

Talk about a way to make your debut behind the camera.

With his directorial debut, Elvis & Nixon, moving forward, the cast is being set for Cary Elwes‘ film, and according to THR, it’s gotten quite interesting.  Danny Huston is in talks to play the president who’s last name plays the latter part of that title, and for the former, who better than Eric Bana? Bana has signed on to play Elvis Presley in the film, which will focus on the icon’s visit to the White House on December 21, 1970.

Just recently Entertainment Weekly gathered up the casts of some popular movies for their 2011 Cast Reunions issue, which included the cast of director Rob Reiner‘s 1987 timeless fantasy classic, The Princess Bride.

And being that it happens to be my own personal favorite movie of all time, I eat this stuff up. So when I saw that Good Morning America also jumped on the cast reunion for their Totally Awesome ’80s Week, giddiness levels elevated. Stars Cary Elwes (Westley/The Man in Black), Robin Wright (Princess Buttercup), Chris Sarandon (Prince Humperdinck), Wallace Shawn (Vizzini), Billy Crystal (Miracle Max), and Carol Kane (Valerie) were present to discuss the movie and tell stories from behind the scenes, including a very funny one involving the late Andre the Giant, who played Fezzik.

You can see a video of the cast of The Princess Bride reunited on the set of Good Morning America by heading below now.
