SECOND SEASON ORDER OF THE ORIGINAL SERIES

“BLACK SAILS”

Production Slated to Resume in November 2013

on the Ten-Episode Second Season of the Pirate Adventure Tale

Executive Produced by Michael Bay

Beverly Hills, Calif., July 26, 2013 – Starz Chief Executive Officer Chris Albrecht announced that the network has picked up a second season of the original series, “Black Sails” from executive producer Michael Bay in advance of its first season premiere.  The announcement comes on the heels of the exclusive fan screening at San Diego Comic-Con several months in advance of its on-air premiere in January, 2014.  The eight-episode first season of the authentic pirate adventure centers on the tales of Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) and his men, and takes place twenty years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic “Treasure Island.”

“Black Sails” is executive produced by Michael Bay (Transformers, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) and his Platinum Dunes partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, producers on The Purge and currently in production on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  The series was created by showrunner and executive producer Jonathan Steinberg (creator “Jericho,” “Human Target”) and Season Two executive producer Robert Levine (“Touch”).

The production is set to begin on the 10-episode second season at Cape Town Studios in Cape Town, South Africa in November.

“Michael Bay, Jon Steinberg and their teams delivered a spectacular first season of ‘Black Sails,’ and we are incredibly proud of everyone’s work,” said Chris Albrecht, CEO of STARZ.  “Based on the strong fan response to the preview screening at last week’s Comicon, we felt an early order for a second season would allow the writers, cast and crew enough time and space to continue crafting such unique and epic storytelling.”

Creator and Executive Producer Jon Steinberg said "We are thrilled to be receiving such an exciting vote of confidence from everyone at Starz and for the opportunity to carry the ‘Black Sails’ adventure into Season Two without missing a beat.  We couldn't ask for better partners in bringing our pirate world to life."

"We've had a fantastic experience working with Chris Albrecht and Jon Steinberg," said executive producer Michael Bay. "Brad, Andrew and I look forward to continuing our partnership with Starz on future episodes for this extraordinary show."

Flint, the most brilliant and most feared pirate captain of his day, takes on a fast-talking young addition to his crew who goes by the name John Silver (Luke Arnold).  Threatened with extinction on all sides, they fight for the survival of New Providence Island, the most notorious criminal haven of its day – a debauched paradise teeming with pirates, prostitutes, thieves and fortune seekers, a place defined by both its enlightened ideals and its stunning brutality. 

Toby Stephens (Die Another Day) and Luke Arnold (Broken Hill, “McLeod’s Daughters”) are joined by Zach McGowan (“Shameless”) as rival Captain Charles Vane; Toby Schmitz (“The Pacific”) as Jack Rackham, Vane’s right hand; Hannah New (Maleficent) as Eleanor Guthrie, a determined young woman who runs the smuggling operation on New Providence; Hakeem Kae-Kazim (“Strike Back,” Hotel Rwanda) as Mr. Scott, Eleanor’s retainer and right hand, Jessica Parker Kennedy (“The Secret Circle,” 50/50, In Time) as Max, a tortured young prostitute who sees the dark side of New Providence; Mark Ryan (Transformers, The Prestige, Charlie’s Angels, “Robin of Sherwood”) as Gates, Captain Flint’s Quartermaster and most senior member of his crew, Clara Paget (The Fast and The Furious 6) as the beautiful but cold-blooded Anne Bonny and Tom Hopper (“Merlin”) as Billy Bones, boatswain of Flint’s ship.

The cast of Psych once again invaded San Diego Comic Con, and I was lucky enough to get into the press room with them as they talked about the most anticipated episode, none other than Psych: The Musical. Although I'll have to wait to see this epic episode along with everyone else, there were plenty of inside questions about it. Check back to this page as we add in more videos all week!

First up the lovely Kirsten Nelson and Corbin Bernsen!

 Next is Maggie Lawson and Tim Omundson! And Tim talks about the amazing tango we'll see during the musical episode.


The Producers and Creator of Psych, Kelly Kulchak, Steve Franks and Chris Henze were also in the Press Room During San Diego Comic Con, where they spoke about the much anticipated Musical episode, and also the future of the show.

The lucky group I was in got the amazing Cary Elwes all to ourselves. So while everyone else had him with James and Dule, we were lucky enough to bombard him with a few questions outside of Psych, about some of his most memorable works, and probably my favorite ones! No matter what role he's in he'll always be Westley in my heart!


And finally, there is the video with James Roday and Dule Hill. James too talks about that amazing tango between him and Tim Omundson, and much more in our final Psych Press Room Video! Hope you guys enjoyed them.


It was another fantastic comic con with the cast of Psych. Here's hoping that they're at Comic Con 2014!

We popped into the press room for the new Syfy show Defiance in time to chat with a few of the stars. Defiance has had a very successful first season, and Syfy is the perfect home for the series which features a group of humans and aliens struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic Earth.

We sat down with Julie Benz first, who talked about Amanda’s relationship with her Scotch, and where we find her character at the start of season 2 and the future of the town of Defiance. She talks about being the Mayor of Comic Con, and coming back to her old stomping grounds with a fantastic Science Fiction show. There’s also talk about Amanda and Kenya’s relationship, and possibly getting some friendly guest stars.

Stephanie Leonidas and Jesse Rath sat down next, and Stephanie has got to be the cutest thing ever. They both talked about the extensive makeup process, the anonymity that it provides and the difficulty of working with their contact lenses in. They also talk about their characters parental relationships that will continue to evolve during the second season.
We prodded Grant Bowler for spoilers, but he refused to play. He did tells us about filming pilot and the very different experience than what he was expecting. Originally the show was about seven years later than where they finally decided that the show would actually start, where Nolan and Irisa are just arriving in the town of Defiance. He talks about his character’s motivation, and even his soulmate and where he’s headed for season 2.

NEW YORK – July 17, 2013 – Which city will be attacked by flying sharks next? New York City! Following the spectacular worldwide social media frenzy around the July 11 premiere of Sharknado, Syfy today announced it will produce – Sharknado 2!

Sharknado 2 (working title), which will again be produced by The Asylum, is scheduled to premiere on Syfy in 2014.

Syfy also announced a special Twitter contest to help name the movie with an appropriate subtitle. Fans will be able to tweet their subtitle to @SyfyMovies using #Sharknado. Syfy will select the best submission as the subtitle for Sharknado 2. 

In making the announcement, Thomas Vitale, Executive Vice President, Programming and Original Movies, Syfy, said: “Every once in a while, there is a perfect storm – on television. The fans are clamoring for a sequel. Or perhaps it will be a prequel. What we can guarantee is that Sharknado 2 will be lots of fun. We’ll be announcing more details very soon. But we didn’t want our fans to worry they wouldn’t get their fill of more shark fin, I mean, fun next year.”

In Sharknado, regulars of a beachside bar including owner Fin (Ian Ziering/Beverly Hills 90210), bartender Nova (Cassie Scerbo/Make It Or Break It) and local drunk George (John Heard/Home Alone) team up with Fin’s ex-wife April (Tara Reid/Scrubs) to investigate the ecological nightmare that has sharks swimming through the streets of Los Angeles and falling from the skies.

Syfy is a media destination for imagination-based entertainment. With year round acclaimed original series, events, blockbuster movies, classic science fiction and fantasy programming, a dynamic Web site, and a portfolio of adjacent business (Syfy Ventures), Syfy is a passport to limitless possibilities. Originally launched in 1992 as SCI FI Channel, and currently in more than 98 million homes, Syfy is a network of NBCUniversal, one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies.  NBCUniversal is owned by Comcast Corporation.(Syfy. Imagine greater.)

It’s that time again, that sad, sad time, the Comic Con wrap up. It’s been an exhaustive few days, but the con has come to a closed, but not without one last surprise. Saturday is normally movie day, when all the big movies do their panels and signing, but one movie still had even more up its sleeve besides its big villainous “Say My Name” attraction.

That’s right, Thor had its big signing on Sunday. Sunday morning was the normal hustle and bustle, but there was a signing not on the schedule, one that was scheduled to take place the day before. Sunday was the last chance to grab the elusive Monster High Doll I was after, and yet somehow I was led to the Marvel booth, literally shuffled into a small line that was drawing cards on the stage. I drew a Thor card, and the guy took it and handed me a slip of paper, telling me congratulations, and to come back later.

Still, what I had in my hand did not dawn on me. For one, it was labeled Saturday, and for two, when I finally tracked down a schedule for that signing the only person on it was Thor: The Dark World director, Alan Taylor. I’m a fan of Mr. Taylor’s and all, but it certainly did not sound like as exciting as some of the other signings that we had attended, but I was still game.

The last day is the perfect time to check out the toys on display, and they displays in general. It’s the time to grab those last few t-shirts you’ve been eyeing, and apparently to finally meet the God of Mischief.

When Tom Hiddleston was announced with Alan Taylor there was a great roar from the crowd. Marvel does their signings up on a stage, with a screen streaming up close shots of the participants. They want the fans to be able to see everything, and enjoy it.  But Mr. Hiddleston has a way of making the crowd go wild. So every cheeky smile, every little moment he paused to dance made them lose their collective minds. Hiddles loves his fans, and he showed off a lot of the artwork that was brought to him.

One girl that wasn’t lucky enough to get a signing ticket first offered money, and when that was refused asked if I could get him to write “Bad Wolf” on a piece of paper for her to be tattooed later. While I’m familiar with the Doctor Who term, I wasn’t sure what relation it had to Hiddleston, as I didn’t recall him ever being on the show. She proceeded to go into the Doctor Who part, and said she was planning to have it tattooed anyways, so it would be neat to have it in Hiddleston’s hand writing. Fair enough.

Hiddleston is very sweet and charming, which I was expecting. I was not expecting him to be so stunning close up. And when he looked at me with those big blue green eyes and said “Wow, you’re very pretty.” I nearly fell off the stage. I stammered a thank you and asked him if he could write out Bad Wolf for me. He quirked an eyebrow, and I told him it wasn’t for me, and gave him a quick explanation about the girl in the crowd. He wrote it, first very sloppily, before writing it again. He held it up, and I could hear the girl screaming loudly, very loudly. So Hiddles flung it into the crowd towards her. It didn’t go to her, and he apologized, saying “I don’t think I should have done that.” I agreed, and so did security, since they took me off the stage away from the crowd.

With the Thor signing done, and the con really done for me, there was one last thing to do, say goodbye to Nerd HQ. Normally I’m at Nerd HQ several times during the convention. This year I hadn’t had a chance to make it over even once.  Sunday as Comic con is wrapping up is not the best time to check out Nerd HQ, but its all I had. Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion were hanging around taking pictures, so it was nice to see them. But it was closing time. The solar system was heading out, the convention was done. Bags were packed and planes needed to be caught, so off I went, but not before I was almost run over by Chris Hardwick on a razor scooter. We took a quick picture and I bid San Diego adieu. It’s been a great convention, until next year.
