Coming our way from Blumhouse Television and set up at Amazon’s Prime Video, The Bondsman is set to star Kevin Bacon as Hub Halloran, a backwoods bounty hunter who comes back from the dead with an unexpected second chance at life, and love, and a nearly-forgotten musical career — only to find that his old job now has a demonic new twist. We’ve previously heard that Bacon is being joined in the cast by Jennifer Nettles of The Righteous Gemstones as Maryanne, Hub’s ex-wife, and now Variety reports that four more have been cast in the show. They are Damon Herriman (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Beth Grant (Speed), Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space), and Jolene Purdy (Unseen).
Herriman will be playing Lucky, “the owner of a successful country music club, who is in a relationship with Maryanne (Nettles), Hub’s ex-wife.” Grant’s character is Kitty,...

Exclusive: Bernard Kira, the manager and producer behind the nine-year-old shingle Bmk-ent, has rebranded the company as Apparent Motion Media, also announcing his signing of International Emmy winner Fernando Rovzar (Hotel Cocaine).
Kira’s move to rebrand comes as he preps Higher Ground, his third film as a producer, and second for an in-house client. Heading into production in March, the film is based on a script discovered by Apparent Motion client Charlie Weber (How to Get Away with Murder), which was developed internally, before being packaged and sold with Weber headlining. Previously, Kira set up client Erlingur Thoroddsen’s film The Piper, a horror pic poised to hit theaters on March 8.
In a statement on the re-launch of his company, Kira made the observation that “artists are becoming more proactive in generating their own opportunities and controlling the trajectory of their careers.” He added that he “started Bmk-ent with...

Plot: A nearsighted woman being pursued through the woods by her homicidal ex has to have a stranger on a video call try to guide her to safety.
Review: Two of the best thrillers to be released in the last few years were John Hyam’s Alone and Randall Okita’s See for Me – and if you were to drop those two movies into a Mixmaster, the resulting concoction would probably be something very much like Yoko Okumura’s feature directorial debut Unseen. Like Alone, Unseen is about a woman escaping from the clutches of a killer who has taken her to a cabin in the woods, running off through the forest in hopes of finding help and civilization. The women in both movies even end up taking a plunge into a river. And as in See for Me, the endangered woman in this movie has vision issues, so she...

The opening of Blumhouse’s latest film, Unseen introduces us to a pair of women. There’s Sam who we see catching a buzz before she starts her shift at a gas station convenience store. And with a boss like Isaac that’s probably the only way to get through a shift without throat-punching him.
Elsewhere, Emily is waking up bound and without her glasses. She’s been kidnapped by her psychotic ex Charlie who has decided the only way he can move on is to kill her.
The two of them have nothing in common, but that’s about to change as a desperate Emily accidentally dials Sam’s number as she tries to escape. Using the phone’s video Sam becomes her eyes, trying to...

The trailer has been unveiled, check it out below. This looks like it could be a lot of fun, combining the wrong number set up with the blind victim being helped remotely/virtually set up, escalating quicker than a gas station hot dog through your intestines.

"I can't do it alone, I need you!" Paramount Movies + MGM have debuted an official trailer for an indie dark comedy / survival thriller titled Unseen, not to be confused with Steven Soderbergh's psychological thriller Unsane. This is launching directly on VOD for streaming at home in March. Here's the extra wild pitch for this movie: two women form an unlikely connection when Sam, a gas station clerk, receives a misdialed call from Emily, who is running from her murderous ex-boyfriend in the woods. Having lost her glasses in her escape, Emily must rely on Sam’s eyes using the video call and camera in order to survive and make it home. Unseen stars Midori Francis, Jolene Purdy, Missi Pyle, and Michael Patrick Lane, along with a few others. This is an interesting concept that seems especially fake as a movie. I prefer the radical poster (also seen below) more than the trailer,...

The latest Blumhouse film, "Unseen," has a new trailer that just dropped, and it looks like a totally unique offering from the popular horror studio. While Blumhouse is best known for its scary good track record, which includes "Insidious," "The Invisible Man," and "Paranormal Activity," the production company's latest (which also comes via MGM+ and Paramount) is actually a thriller-comedy with a wild high-concept premise.
"Unseen" stars "WandaVision" and "Orange is the New Black" actress Jolene Purdy as Sam, a gas station clerk at a dead-end job at a place called Gator Galore, where her boss seems to be a bullying redneck and she's clearly not having a great time. Enter: Emily ("Dash & Lily" star Midori Francis), a woman who ends up needing Sam's help in a major — and majorly unexpected — way. Emily phones Sam from the woods, where she's being chased by a murderous ex-boyfriend. She's broken her...

At first glance, Cherita Chen might seem like the kind of character you put into a movie just for laughs. Played by Jolene Purdy, Cherita is the less-than-popular outcast that goes to the same high school as Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) in the 2001 film, "Donnie Darko." Fans will most likely remember her for constantly telling anyone who bothers or makes fun of her to "Chut up!". However, her role in "Donnie Darko" extends far beyond comedic relief.
Search the internet for fan theories on Cherita's purpose and you will find everything from speculation that she was sent here by aliens to spy on Donnie to more meta ideas that she is actually the one writing the very movie we are watching. Her presence in the film is so minimal that it's easy to come up with seemingly limitless possibilities for her significance, though probably the most logical is that her character...

The end is nigh for Kate and Tully.
Netflix on Wednesday unveiled the trailer for the second and final season of Firefly Lane.
If first impressions are everything, the two best friends at the core of the series have a lot to work through.
"What could possibly have ended the tight-knit thirty year friendship of Tully and Kate, our Firefly Lane Girls Forever?" the official logline teases.
"We'll learn the answer this season -- but first -- Kate grapples with the painful aftermath of Johnny's ill-fated trip to Iraq, while Tully faces a lawsuit after walking away from her talk show, and must start her career over from the bottom."
"This leads her to search for answers about who she is and where she comes from -- including a quest to find the father she never met, against the wishes of her secretive hippie mother, Cloud," it adds.

Kate and Tully’s personal lives are a bit of a mess in the new trailer for Firefly Lane‘s final season — but at least they’ve got each other, and as many pints of ice cream as Tully can comfortably carry.
In the preview embedded above, Sarah Chalke and Katherine Heigl’s BFFs navigate everything from new professional endeavors (Tully’s making a documentary!) to complicated romances (Kate and Johnny aren’t really over, right?). And it seems their long friendship with one another might hit a few snags, too, if the 1:40-ish mark of the trailer is any indication.

It's official: season two of "Firefly Lane" is coming soon. The series follows two best friends named Tully (Katherine Heigl) and Kate (Sarah Chalke) and the ups and downs they've faced through the years. It's basically everything you love about soapy dramas like "Sweet Magnolias" and "Virgin River," with a twist of "This Is Us."
Unfortunately, the second season will be the series' last, Netflix revealed on Oct. 3. The final season will consist of a total of 16 episodes split into two parts.
Since the last episode of the first season ends on a major cliffhanger, we're already curious to know what will happen next. And given that it's based on Kristin Hannah's book series of the same name, there's plenty of inspiration to draw from. While there's no telling how closely the second season will follow the second book, "Fly Away," there are still plenty of storylines to explore in future episodes.
Unfortunately, the second season will be the series' last, Netflix revealed on Oct. 3. The final season will consist of a total of 16 episodes split into two parts.

“The White Lotus” gave us the sinister tropical vacation we never knew we needed — and delivered some of the best performances of 2021.
“Is ‘The White Lotus’ a murder-mystery? Yes. Is it also a comedy? Absolutely,” IndieWire’s TV critic Ben Travers wrote in his review of the HBO limited series. “Does it confront the harsh truths of America’s wealth gap by studying a contained batch of subjects on either end of the ever-widening spectrum? It would be weird if I said, ‘No,’ so yup, that’s there, too.”
Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Alexandra Daddario, Fred Hechinger, Jake Lacy, Brittany O’Grady, Natasha Rothwell, Sydney Sweeney, and Steve Zahn led the ensemble series, with breakout star Jennifer Coolidge reminding us why she’s an icon for her performance as a grieving (and tone-deaf) elite.
Molly Shannon, Jon Gries, Jolene Purdy, Kekoa Kekumano, and Lukas Gage also guest-starred on the series. So,...

If we do see any hotel guests at The White Lotus return for Season 2, TVLine readers have a clear favorite.
We posted a poll earlier this week asking you to choose up to three characters from HBO’s dark comedy to come back for another stay. (The White Lotus has already been renewed for another season set in a new locale with a new cast, but series creator Mike White has hinted that a few characters may make an encore appearance.) And we shouldn’t be surprised that Jennifer Coolidge’s kooky Tanya topped the list, with 20.7 percent of the total vote.

“The White Lotus” is HBO newest series and, if the reviews are to be believed, it is unlike anything on television, not just the popular streamer. The genre-bending program is said to take some unexpected turns so we’ll be breaking it down episode-by-episode, starting with Sunday’s premiere.
Written and directed by Mike White (“Enlightened”), the show is set over the course of one fateful week at a luxe Hawaiian resort as the lives of the newest wave of guests intertwine in insidious ways. It stars Jake Lacy, Alexandra Daddario, Sydney Sweeney, Jennifer Coolidge, Connie Britton, Steve Zahn, Natasha Rothwell and Murray Bartlett.
Let’s dive into the (seemingly) crystal blue waters of Episode 1, “Arrivals.”
The series opens with Shane, played by Jake Lacy, sitting in an airport terminal and donning a thousand-yard stare. We learn from other prying travelers that there’s been a murder at The White Lotus,...

The White Lotus lobs its first darkly comedic curveball right out of the gate.
In Sunday’s opening scene of Enlightened auteur Mike White’s six-episode HBO’s limited series, an intensely gloomy and classically handsome dude by the name of Shane Patton (played by Office alum Jake Lacy) is sitting alone in a Hawaiian airport when an inquisitive couple begins grilling him about his travel plans. He reluctantly divulges that a murder took place at The White Lotus resort he had been honeymooning at with his new bride, and the corpse is being transported on the plane he is waiting to board.

“Wave like you mean it, Lanny!”
So instructs resort manager Armond, played by Murray Bartlett, early on in Mike White’s intoxicating HBO limited series “The White Lotus.” Armond, the feeble-gesturing Lanny (Jolene Purdy), and a few more members of The White Lotus staff are standing at the edge of the island, ocean spray crashing into their smiling faces, in an obligatory greeting for VIP guests arriving by boat. Though casually tossed in among a flurry of advice for his new employee, Armond’s urging for the appearance of sincerity says so much about what comes to define the next week, for the local workers and vacationing lodgers, as well as the delicate egos of the latter group and how they manipulate the former into doing whatever they damn well please.

One of the many things “Superstore” gave us is proof that frontline workers make endlessly compelling, yet woefully disregarded, characters to explore on screen — particularly during a pandemic. So, it’s nice to see another show try to pick up the baton left behind by the dearly departed NBC sitcom and highlight the lives of hospitality workers at a beautiful Hawaiian resort where the rich and unbothered go to escape real-world problems and those, much like the resort staff, who are most impacted by them.
But creator Mike White’s satirical drama, “The White Lotus,” widens that narrative to include stories of said privileged people, guests at the self-titled resort, to presumably provide a more panoramic look at one week in paradise for some characters and one week on the grind for others. It’s a lost opportunity, because by making the series less pointed, every character — even the obligatory...

As seen in the trailer above, the titular resort’s staff includes fastidious manager Armond (Looking‘s Murray Bartlett), who after a sudden trauma begins a dramatic downward spiral, and down-to-earth spa manager Belinda (Insecure‘s Natasha Rothwell), who gets taken on an emotional roller coaster ride by Tanya McQuoid (2 Broke Girls‘ Jennifer Coolidge), a needy, wealthy and unstable woman who is recovering from the death of her mother.
