"The Walking Dead" is over for now, but we're already thinking about where the hit AMC series could go in season two. We're not the only ones, either, as several cast and crew members have started weighing in with their own theories about the future of the zombie apocalypse series.


"I want the audience to feel uncertain when they tune in," series director and showrunner Frank Darabont told AMC about the show's future in a video interview. "My hope is that if we're lucky enough to be in the long run on a show like this, we'll be able to make the stakes as high as we can as we go along. I think that's just going to make the viewing experience more compelling for the audience." Read More...

Spider-Man: Turn off the DarkAerialist Christopher Tierney's accident during a recent preview performance of "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark" was the result of "human error," according to a statement from the Actor's Equity Association.

Spider-Man musicalIt's starting to feel like there isn't a day that goes by without another report of catastrophe on the set of "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark," the troubled Broadway musical with the record-breaking budget.

This time around, stunt actor Christopher Tierney was injured after falling from a ledge during last night's performance. Tierney is one of several actors who doubles for lead Reeve Carney during the show's aerial maneuvers, and reportedly became detached from his safety harness during a scene in which Spider-Man leaps off a ledge to save Mary Jane Watson. A Bellevue Hospital representative told CNN that Tierney was in serious condition.

TMZ has posted footage from the accident, which is said to have occurred during the last seven minutes of the show. Read More...
