Located within Universal Plaza, a convergence of original Fast & Furious prop cars will be on display for guests and fans of the film series, including Dom's 1970 Dodger Charger R/T.  The black, V8-powered car first appeared in The Fast and the Furious and has been a mainstay in every action-packed film since. The grey 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner that Dom first drove in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift will also be on display, along with the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda that belonged to Letty in Fast & Furious 6.  The car display will be available throughout the summer.

NETFLIX: "PEANUT BUTTER AND JEALOUS," SO IT MAKES ITS OWN EMPIRE.

The Get Down, a new Netflix Original Series, from visionary director Baz Luhrmann, will premiere exclusively on Netflix in all territories in 2016.

The series marks Luhrmann's first music-driven drama since the global hit Moulin Rouge!
The one-hour, 13-episode drama from Sony Pictures Television will focus on 1970s New York City – broken down and beaten up, violent, cash strapped -- dying. Consigned to rubble, a rag-tag crew of South Bronx teenagers are nothings and nobodies with no one to shelter them – except each other, armed only with verbal games, improvised dance steps, some magic markers and spray cans. From Bronx tenements, to the SoHo art scene; from CBGBs to Studio 54 and even the glass towers of the just-built World Trade Center, The Get Down is a mythic saga of how New York at the brink of bankruptcy gave birth to hip-hop, punk and disco -- told through the lives and music of the South Bronx kids who changed the city, and the world...forever.

Luhrmann, director of Moulin Rouge!, Romeo + Juliet, and The Great Gatsby, will direct the first two episodes and the season finale and serve as executive producer. Academy-Award winner Catherine Martin (The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge!), will serve as Costume and Production Designer and executive producer. Paul Watters (Australia); Thomas Kelly (Copper); Stephen Adley Guirgis (Motherf***er With The Hat); Shawn Ryan (The Shield, Terriers); and Marney Hochman (Terriers), will also serve as executive producers.

"From his very first and magnificently original steps on the world stage with Strictly Ballroom to his most recent with The Great Gatsby, Baz conjures worlds we may not recognize initially, but once there, realize they are infused with the same dreams of every person - to belong, to matter, to live life to its fullest.  We are thrilled to support Baz, Catherine and Paul and their team in their quest to illuminate those same dreams through the artists who came of age in the cauldron of the Bronx in the late 1970s," said Cindy Holland, vice president of original content for Netflix.

"In this golden era of TV, the Netflix culture puts no constraint on creative possibilities. So it is a natural home for The Get Down, a project I have been contemplating and working on now for over 10 years. Throughout, I've been obsessed with the idea of how a city in its lowest moment, forgotten and half destroyed could give birth to such creativity and originality in music, art and culture. I'm thrilled to be working with my partners at Sony and collaborating with a team of extraordinary writers and musicians, many of whom grew up with and lived the story we've set out to tell," said Baz Luhrmann.
"Baz is an artist in the truest sense, whose talent and vision resonate across mediums.  There is no better filmmaker and storyteller to draw us into this world of the forgotten and oppressed residents of the Bronx who rose up and fought back to create and define culture and music for decades to come," said Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht, presidents of programming and production for Sony Pictures Television.

THE INTERVIEW WILL NOW AIR ON ,SONY OWNED CRACKLE.

Crackle announced today that the streaming service is the first advertising video on demand (AVOD) player that has signed on to stream The Interview, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco.

"At Crackle, we always try to push the envelope when it comes to our own original programming and we're happy to say the same for our licensed content," said Eric Berger, EVP Digital Networks, Sony Pictures Television and GM, Crackle. "We are proud to be the first to distribute the film directly to consumers in the ad-supported window."

In the action-comedy The Interview, Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogen) run the popular celebrity tabloid TV show 'Skylark Tonight.' When they discover that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is a fan of the show, they land an interview with him in an attempt to legitimize themselves as journalists. As Dave and Aaron prepare to travel to Pyongyang, their plans change when the CIA recruits them, perhaps the most unlikely candidates, to 'take out' Kim Jong-un.

SHREVEPORT, La., Jan. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucy Lawless, Stuart Townsend, Joe Doyle and Oliver Bell have joined the cast of WGN America's hit supernatural thriller "Salem," which begins production on its second season today in Shreveport, LA. 

The new season of the series called "perversely entertaining" by The New York Times and "a sexy good time" by The Hollywood Reporter, centers on Salem's most powerful and ruthless witch Mary Sibley (Janet Montgomery, "Made In Jersey," "Human Target") as she faces off against new and old adversaries vying for control of the embattled 17th-century village.  Created and written by award-winning Brannon Braga ("Cosmos," "24") and Adam Simon ("The Haunting in Connecticut"), the gripping one-hour drama, produced by Fox 21, will return to WGN America in April 2015.

Special recurring guest star, Lawless ("Xena: Warrior Princess," "Spartacus"), plays "Countess Marburg," one of the last remaining survivors of the legendary line of ancient German witches.
Townsend ("Betrayal," "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"), in a recurring guest role, portrays English aristocrat "Samuel Wainwright" – a doctor looking to uncover the secrets of "Salem" and keep his own from those who would seek to discover them.
Doyle ("Raw") joins the cast as a series regular in the role of "Baron Sebastian Marburg," the charming and cultured son of the Countess.

Also added as a series regular is Bell, who reprises his role as the long-lost son of Mary – long believed to be dead, but who was revealed to have been secretly kept alive by Mary's witches at the end of season one.

Returning as leading cast members are Janet Montgomery, Shane West ("Nikita," "ER") as Captain John Alden, Seth Gabel ("Fringe") as Cotton Mather, Ashley Madekwe ("Revenge") as Tituba, Tamzin Merchant ("Jane Eyre") as Anne Hale, Elise Eberle ("The Astronaut Farmer") as Mercy Lewis and Iddo Goldberg ("Mob City") as Isaac Walton.
The expansive "Salem" set, which covers 30 acres in Shreveport, LA, where the historic village has been recreated with astonishing detail, has been further expanded in season two to include a new port and intricate buildings in an area known as "Knocker's Hole."

Joining Braga, Simon and Prospect Park's Josh Barry and Jeff Kwatinetz as executive producers are Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson, who previously served as showrunners on "Smallville" and co-showrunners on "Beauty and the Beast."  Also new to the creative team for "Salem" season two is Nick Copus ("Arrow," "Nikita"), who directs and serves as co-executive producer.

Blakeson's production team includes Enrique Chediak as the Director of Photography, Jon Billington as the Production Designer, Paul Rubell as the Editor, and Sharen Davis as the Costume Designer. 
The 5th Wave is a phenomenon in young adult literature, with 21 weeks on The New York Times Best Sellers list, nearly 300,000 hardcover units sold, and 80,000 e-books sold. The novel, which has also had tremendous crossover appeal with adults, was honored with the 2014 Red House Children's Book Award in the UK.  The second book in Yancey's planned trilogy, The Infinite Sea, was published last month.
Hannah Minghella and Andrea Giannetti will oversee the project for the studio.

CELEBRITY Q AND A: DENZEL WASHINGTON! (EXCLUSIVE!)

I was at a local, L.A. movie palace,watching The Equalizer starring America's Brother- Denzel Washington. I'm such a fan, I stayed through the entire end credits,enjoying Eminem's latest single,Guts Over Fear.

Anyway,the film ended with the Sony tag-line,"Be Moved" and the lights go up. I heard a curious,Southern voice state,"So, how was the film?" I really didn't hear him,as I was gathering my items from the mall. 

He repeated his question,continuing a tad confused "You've spent two hours watching me,and you don't know who I am? " I then hear a lady shout from the back, "Fuck, that's Denzel!"

I look over and see the two time Oscar winner,dressed not unlike- as he was in the film:  A blue dress shirt, grey dress pants,with a small bag of items of his own,under his arm. 

The lady then begs Lincoln Rhyme for an autograph.He quickly looks at his watch,and simply states "I can't. Sorry,my family." As the lady audible sighs over this development, The Man on Fire turned back to me, and for the third time and restated "So, how was the film?" 

 "WHO'S THE BOSS, WHO'S THE BOSS, WHO'S THE BOSS!!!"-Denzel from Man on Fire: 2004.


I leaped to my feet, startling the both of us for a moment. I then demanded, "IT WAS GREAT!" The Mighty Quinn looks fairly pleased with response,nods happily. He then cocked his head & answered "Great,huh?" I then get kind of nervous,like I had sold out and revise my answer,"It was VERY good."

Washington smirked and then stated- like a game show host, "Well, I have to take your first answer-Great." He then turned around,laughed triumphantly and quickly made his way to the exit.
