Daisy Ridley Shares Surprising Opinion About Rey (Spoilers...Maybe)

$

Daisy Ridley shared a pretty surprising opinion about Rey that, if true, will definitely affect the direction of the franchise. Ridley tells MTV News that she doesn't believe Rey is a Jedi. The actress shared the thought when asked about how her training with Luke will go forward in Episode VIII...

“I don’t know if I am a Jedi… I don’t think I am.”

Before everyone goes bonkers and thinks that Rey is not the main hero in Star Wars after all, her next statement may clarify things a bit...

“We’ve had this debate as to whether Leia is because she uses her Force powers...Just because she’s not like, oh I’m going on an adventure like Luke doesn’t make her any less Forceful.”

So she's Force sensitive, but that should be obvious. If she's using a lightsaber I feel like she's walking, talking, and acting like a duck so....maybe her opinion isn't so valid. What do you think? Is Ridley onto something, or do you think it's hogwash?

Falcon Is the Focus in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Featurette; New IMAX Poster Is Almost as Big as Their Screens

So, Sam Wilson/Falcon and Steve Rogers/Captain America have quite the "bromance" going, but let’s be real, Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier is Cap’s OTP. I am very curious to see how this dynamic plays out in Captain America: Civil War. Obviously Falcon is on Team Cap, but is he going to be all in for Winter Soldier, too? Are they going to fight for Steve’s love? Or are they going to be frenemies and pull Mean Girl type stuff the whole movie? We get a tiny glimpse of an answer in this new featurette that puts Falcon in the spotlight. There is a tiny snippet of B-roll footage in which Winter Soldier swings at Falcon and Falcon shoves the bionic assassin. Interesting…

The featurette also includes an Anthony Mackie talking head covering Falcon’s ethics and his companionship with Cap. Falcon will soar into battle with the rest of Team Cap on May 6, and I for one can't wait to see them kick Team Iron Man's ass.

Also, check out the newest IMAX poster, which sort of extends Cap's shield and puts the other heroes in the outer rings. I don't know. It is sort of busy and sort of boilerplate. I don't like it, but you can decide for yourself below the video.

Geek Art Spotlight: Nan Lawson

I first came across Nan Lawson’s work on Instagram while she was gearing up for her solo show, Meet Cute, at Gallery 1988. Every piece in that show was a double portrait of a TV or movie couple, and I found them delightful. I loved the way they were both whimsical and depressive. Since then I have been an avid fan and check out her new stuff periodically. Her sense of color is wonderful, and the way she uses negative space is very interesting. Here are few of my favorites, but you can check out more of her artwork on her website. Her shop appears to be empty at the moment, but Gallery 1988 still has a few of her prints available here, including one titled "I'm Burning Up A Sun, Just To Say Goodbye."

Spencer Wilding Will Be Playing Darth Vader in ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY

spencer-wilding-will-be-playing-darth-vader-in-star-wars-rogue-one

Here’s an interesting tidbit of information regarding Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. As you know, the movie is set before the events of A New Hope and revolves around a group of Rebels on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star. We know that Darth Vader will play a role in this story, and we know James Earl Jones will be back to provide the voice. Now, thanks to Flickering Myth, we know who will actually be wearing the iconic costume. 

His name is Spencer Wilding, and he’s a character actor who has had small parts in various films since 2005. He’s played a variety of creatures in the Doctor Who series and also portrayed a White Walker in Game of Thrones. But he’s probably best known for his role in Guardians of the Galaxy as the prison guard who steals Peter Quill’s Walkman.

Wilding has the one major thing that the physical role of Darth Vader requires… he’s a tall dude who stands at 6’7", which is two inches taller than David Prowse, who originally played the character. The report also says that the actor been running lines on set, which is also what Prowse did, but Wilding actually understands that his voice will be dubbed — it won’t be a surprise to him like it was to Prowse.

Wolverine Reportedly Confirmed to Appear in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE?

The possible inclusion of Wolverine in X-Men: Apocalypse is something we’ve talked about on the site a few times in the past. His involvement is something that I think most of us fans were expecting because he’s shown up in every other freakin’ ensemble X-Men movie. The most recent big clue that Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine would show up in the film came about a week ago when Bryan Singer said that he didn’t fit in the story “as a central character.” It’s that moment that I believed Wolverine would show up in the film, but it would be more of a cameo.  

Now ElMayimbe has confirmed it in a recent scoop on Heroic Insider. He says that 20th Century Fox will be premiering a new trailer for the film at CinemaCon this Thursday, and that trailer will reportedly feature Wolverine. The report goes on to say that Wolverine wasn’t originally in the film, but was added during reshoots.

We don’t know exactly what Wolverine's part in the film will be, but Singer previously teased where the character could pop up. He explained:

"The quartet have been kidnapped by army twonk William Stryker following a cataclysmic event at the X-Mansion, and wake up in a holding cell. On a balcony above them, Stryker taunts his prisoners, demanding to know the whereabouts of Magneto."

The facility that Stryker takes the mutants to is Weapon X, which is where Wolverine got his famous adamantium skeleton and claws. I imagine he’s hanging around in there somewhere.

It’ll be interesting to see how Wolverine will briefly play into the story. X-Men: Apocalypse drops in theaters on May 27th, 2016.

It Doesn’t Look Like Marvel’s BLACK PANTHER Film Will Tell an Origin Story

Everyone seems to be talking about how spectacular Spider-Man is in Captain America: Civil War, but Black Panther is seriously just as awesome, and he also has a much bigger part in the story that is being told.

After watching the movie, I wondered if the Black Panther solo film would go back and give us an origin story for the character, but it doesn’t sound like that’s what Marvel is going to do. It looks like Black Panther is just going to pick up from where Civil War ended with the character. During an interview with /Film, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige explained:

“We can [move forward from here]. We can deal with the aftereffects of Captain America: Civil War and going back to Wakanda, and he’s dealing with a geopolitical landscape that’s completely different now. That’ll certainly set him off in his own movie.”

I’m really happy that they are doing that. I thought the introduction of Black Panther in Civil War was perfectly executed. Maybe we’ll get some flashbacks in the solo film, but it sounds like the main story won’t involve his origin. 

Black Panther has a very heavy and personal role in Civil War, and what he experiences is sure to drive what happens next to him. Feige talked a bit more about the character and laying the groundwork for his place in the MCU:

“When you’re dealing with that level of leadership, you’re constantly faced with these serious choices. Laying the groundwork for that morality over the course of this movie was important.”

When you see the film, that will make more sense to you, but I don’t want to spoil it for you here. There is a very intense pivotal moment in Civil War with Black Panther that shows us what kind of man he really is. Talking about director Ryan Coogler and his last film Creed, Feige said:

“Best movie of last year. Great. I think he’ll bring all of that [to the film]. He’s already been involved for a number of months now. We’ve been working with him on the story. He watched early cuts of this film, and he gave very good feedback about Black Panther. I just think he’s one of the best filmmakers today. Creed, I think, was my favorite movie last year.”

Not only is Coogler directing the film, but according to Collider, he’s co-writing it as well. When asked if there was a completed script for the film, Feige said:

“Very soon. We have a number of writers on it including Ryan Coogler, who is also directing, he’s working on the draft right now. Between now and the end of the summer there will be more casting announcements. We start filming at the very beginning of next year.”

Black Panther opens in theaters February 16th, 2018.

Paramount Pictures' CinemaCon Presentation - RINGS, TMNT 2, BEN HUR, JACK REACHER 2, BAYWATCH, and More

CinemaCon 2016 kicked off last night at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas and Paramount Pictures took the stage to show off their upcoming slate of films. Those films included Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, Ben-Hur, Star Trek: Beyond, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, Rings, Story of Your Life, XXX 3, and Baywatch.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows:

Will Arnett and Megan Fox came out on stage to introduce some footage from the upcoming Ninja Turtles sequel. What they showed was basically the most recent trailer for the film, which you can watch here. However, they did include an extended scene at the end with the turtles crash landing a giant plane. It was extremely over-the-top, and if you were a fan of the first film, chances are you're going to love this movie. If you didn't like the first film, I'm not sure if this sequel will win you over or not. I guess we're just going to have to wait and see!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows hits theaters on June 3rd. 2016.

Ben Hur:

Actor Jack Huston came out to introduce the footage for Ben Hur. The first part of the footage was the trailer that was released a few weeks ago. In case you missed it, you can watch it here. They tacked some new footage at the end of the trailer though that offered us an extended look at the chariot battle race in the Colosseum. I've gotta admit, that chariot race looks like it's going to be insanely intense. There is just so much chaos in that scene with men being killed, horses running up into the packed Colosseum, chariot destruction, and more. Of course, at the end it all comes down to Ben Hur and his brother. The footage we saw ended with the exact same footage the trailer ended with.

The film comes out on August 12th, 2016.

Mission: Impossible 6 and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back:

Tom Cruise recorded a video for the presentation to introduce the first footage screened for Jack Reacher: Never Go Back and talk a little bit about Mission: Impossible 6Christopher McQuarrie is back to direct M:I6, and Cruise promised that there will be "more incredible set pieces, stunts…and what I think is a very entertaining and compelling story.” I'm a big fan of the of the M:I franchise so I can't wait to see what they give us next time around.

As for Never Go Back, the film reunites Cruise with director Ed Zwick (The Last Samurai), and the actor explained that the film is about an “analog character in a digital world,” and went on to say that it would feature “real classic movie, movie stuff.” I thought the first film had that same classic movie vibe to it, so if they bring that back for the sequel... awesome! We then got to see the footage.

In that footage we see a group of men who had been brutally beaten on the street outside of a diner. The police show up and ask if a car came and ran these men over. A bystander tells the officer that they were taken out by one man, and that that one man was still in the diner where he sat drinking his coffee. The cop confronts Jack Reacher and him he’s looking at 10 to 20 years for aggravated assault. Jack proceeds to confidently tells them that two things will happen. The phone will ring, and then the officer will be the one wearing the cuffs on his way to prison. As the cop laughs at the remark, the phone rings. It then cuts to an action shot of Jack masterfully killing two men through a car window. We also get to see Cobie Smulders in action as she is on the run from the authorities joins. Smulders' character had the same job in the military that Jack had. Jack goes on to blow some stuff up, and as Smulders is driving him around, she questions Jack about his actions and tells him that she believes that he is enjoying all of it. The look on his face tells her that of course he is!  

I'm so excited for this movie, it looks supremely badass! It comes out in theaters on October 21st, 2016.

Rings:

They showed off the first footage from their upcoming horror film Rings, which is a continuation of The Ring franchise. They hope to bring us one Rings movie every October until people get tired of it. I am a huge fan of the first movies in the franchise, but this new one looks way too forced. 

We see a male character talking to a female character on an airplane that is going through some heavy turbulence. He tells the girls that he watched a tape and that directly after he received a phone call saying that he would die in seven days. The time on the plane will go into the seventh day. As he is telling her this his nose starts to bleed and then the turbulence intensifies and he goes flying down the aisle near the cockpit. The cockpit door bursts open, and we seen a monitor on the dashboard that starts to flicker, then distort. As the guy is looking at the screen, the creepy Samara girl starts to crawl out of it, and then the guy dies. 

Story of Your Life:

Jeremy Renner and Amy Adams came out to introduce footage from their upcoming sci-fi film Story of Your Life. Renner said, “It’s Amy’s story, and there’s not enough cinema in Hollywood where we have a strong, badass, intelligent female lead. I think that’s important.” The two actors play members of a team brought in to help figure out the intentions of an alien race that has invaded Earth.

The footage they showed was very dark and moody. It starts out with Amy's character talking about the day "they" arrived. As she is teaching an almost empty college class, one of the student's phones start going off, and when Amy asks if she has any news to share we cut to a news report showing alien objects that have landed all around Earth. Forrest Whitaker also stars in the film, and it's at this moment that he shows up in her office and asks her if she would help translate a recording of aliens. Apparently, deciphering languages is her specialty. The recording features someone asking the alien why they are here, and the response is very creepy and strange sounding. We then cut to Amy's character in a helicopter with Renner, and they are headed to one of the spacecrafts, which stands upright and is extremely tall and kind of shaped like an elongated egg. It's levitating about 50 to 100 feet over the ground in a giant field. They throw on some hazmat suits and head on into the ship where they are met with a very bright light, and then we get a glimpse of the aliens, which kind of look like floating squids, but we really don't get a good look at them. Of course, Adams wants to communicate with them, so she puts her hand on a glass separating them, then a big tentacle slams into the other side. There's a news report that claims the aliens may be trying to pit humans against each other, which is definitely an interesting premise. There's some discussion regarding the aliens, and Amy insists that if the aliens stay, the humans have to stay. The footage then cuts to a series of chaotic shots and action with explosions, and we see a craft fall from the sky.

The movie comes out sometime in 2016.

XXX: The Return of Xander Cage:

A pre-recorded video was shown featuring Vin Diesel on the set of the film in Toronto. He introduces his co-stars Nina Dobrev and Donnie Yen, and he just gushed about how happy he is to be making this movie and how awesome it's going to be. He also talks about how amazing the cast is and really was trying hard to get people hyped up for the movie. He thanked everyone in the room for their help with his success and that was pretty much it. No footage was shown.

The movie will be released in 2017.

Allied:

This is Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard's World War II drama, which is being directed by Robert Zemeckis. Pitt and Cotillard play two assassins who fall in love during a mission to kill a German official. They end up marrying, but their romance is cut short when Pitt learns a devastating secret about his wife that prompts him to turn on her. Paramount is really hoping that this movie will end up being an Oscar contender. They ended up showing off some footage from the movie, and it really looks like a great and intense film. Explaining that footage really isn't that interesting, though.

Allied comes out on November 23rd, 2017.

Baywatch:

The presentation concluded by showing off some hilarious and fun footage from Dwayne Johnson's Baywatch movie. They started it off with a video of Johnson from the set of the film introducing the actors who will be playing the main characters in the story. Zac Efron as Matt, Alexandra Daddario as Summer, Kelly Rohrbach as CJ, Priyanka Chopra as Victoria, and then there's the comic relief, Jon Bass as Ronnie who says he's not in the movie for his body but also "sex stuff." The Rock promises that the whole team will at CinemaCon next year and concludes with, "This is our beach, bitch!"

The footage shown was definitely red-band stuff, because Johnson and Efron were dropping f-bombs all over the place. It starts out with Johnson diving into some water because that's what lifeguards do. There's another scene in which Efron runs up to Johnson and his lifeguard team with some donuts, and he's late for training. Johnson criticizes him, telling him that Little Johnny died while he was in line waiting to buy donuts. We get some crazy beach party shots and they end on Efron checking out Daddario's boobs, and she calls him out on it. They have a fun little exchange in which he does end up staring at them, and he tells her he wasn't staring at them until she mentioned it. There's then a conversion between Summer and CJ in which Summer asks, "Why does this suit ride so far up our asses?" To which CJ replies, “I designed it that way, it makes us swim faster." We later see a scene of Johnson and Efron having an exercise contest, flipping tires. Then we get another montage of shots with more parties, something going on with drugs, and some action. I probably butchered that footage, but that's what I remember. It's a helluva a lot funnier than I made it out to be, but I can't remember the dialogue, dammit! 

One other thing that took place during the presentation was Simon Pegg presented J.J. Abrams with the CinemaCon Showman of the Year Award.

I was really hoping for a surprise announcement for Jackass 4!


CREED's Tessa Thompson Joins Marvel's THOR: RAGNAROK, Natalie Portman Leaves

$

Natalie Portman hasn't had much to do in the two Thor films so far, and she wasn't thrilled about Patty Jenkins being replaced by Alan Taylor as the director of Thor: The Dark World, so I suppose it isn't much of a shock to hear that she won't be coming back to reprise the role in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok. But it looks like her loss is fans' gain, because Creed star Tessa Thompson (Dear White People, Selma) is stepping in to the new movie as Thor's love interest.

Thompson isn't going to be playing Jane Foster — Deadline says she'll be "kind of a superhero" and she'll show up in other Marvel movies as well. Let the speculation begin! Will she play The Enchantress, or maybe her sister, Lorelei? Have Kevin Feige and company cast her as Thor Girl? I'm sure some scooper will get to the bottom of this soon.

The actress is set to star in Alex Garland's sci-fi film Annihilation (opposite...wait for it...Natalie Portman!), and then she'll jump into filming this sequel for director Taika Waititi. Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters on November 3, 2017. Who do you think Thompson will be playing in the film?

Marvel Studios' INHUMANS Movie Likely Delayed Once Again

$
0
0

Marvel Studios' Inhumans film was originally slated to hit theaters in 2018, smack dab in the middle of the two Avengers: Infinity War movies. Delays pushed it to 2019, and now company president and mega-producer Kevin Feige is preparing fans for the movie to be kicked even further down the release pipeline.

In an interview with Collider, Feige explained why it's very, very likely that we won't see Inhumans in 2019:

Since we made our initial phase three announcement, we added Spider-Man, which was a big joyous coup for us. We added Ant-Man and the Wasp, which was a big fun continuation of that story for us. Walt Disney Company has announced an Indiana Jones film for right around that same time. So I think it will shuffle off the current date that it’s on right now. How far down it shuffles, I’m not sure yet.

So it sounds like Indy is partly to blame for the new delay. But what about the rumors that popped up a little while back that the Inhumans movie was being taken off the release calendar for good? The theory behind that was that Marvel Studios, now free from having to report to Ike Perlmutter, might cancel the movie out of spite, since Perlmutter's TV branch has been laying the groundwork for Inhumans in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while now. Feige responded to that as well, when Collider asked, "But it’s not a matter of “they’re already doing that on TV, we’re not doing it?”

No, it’s a question of when.

So according to Feige, fans will see an Inhumans movie one day, but he's just not sure exactly when he'll fit it into his busy schedule. It could be as soon as one year after the current date — the studio does have three dates already carved out for 2020, and no specific films attached to those dates at this point. Vin Diesel has been campaigning to star in the movie as Black Bolt, and Adam McKay may end up directing it if the timing works out. To read more about the movie, click here.

This is really cool. The Art of Film has cut together a comprehensive video that looks at pretty much every aspect of the Millennium Falcon's escape from Jakku in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It's one of the movie's most iconic scenes, and this video incorporates final footage from the movie along with concept art, rehearsal footage of actors Daisy Ridley and John Boyega (or, in one shot, maybe their stunt doubles) dodging explosions, and some quick breakdowns of the visual effects in certain areas of the chase, including some angles I haven't seen from this film before.

It's super cool to see the difference between the two, and how some of them are shot for shot the same scene! See it below!

Steven Spielberg Reuniting with Mark Rylance For THE KIDNAPPING OF EDGARDO MORTARA

$

Steven Spielberg has found his next film project. Deadline reports that the director will reunite with his Bridge of Spies and The BFG star Mark Rylance for a film called The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara, which is based on the 1997 book by David Kertzer. Here's the synopsis:

Bologna: nightfall, June 1858. A knock sounds at the door of the Jewish merchant Momolo Mortara. Two officers of the Inquisition bust inside and seize Mortara's six-year-old son, Edgardo. As the boy is wrenched from his father's arms, his mother collapses. The reason for his abduction: the boy had been secretly "baptized" by a family servant. According to papal law, the child is therefore a Catholic who can be taken from his family and delivered to a special monastery where his conversion will be completed. 
With this terrifying scene, prize-winning historian David I. Kertzer begins the true story of how one boy's kidnapping became a pivotal event in the collapse of the Vatican as a secular power. The book evokes the anguish of a modest merchant's family, the rhythms of daily life in a Jewish ghetto, and also explores, through the revolutionary campaigns of Mazzini and Garibaldi and such personages as Napoleon III, the emergence of Italy as a modern national state. Moving and informative, The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara reads as both a historical thriller and an authoritative analysis of how a single human tragedy changed the course of history.

This sounds like exactly the kind of project Spielberg loves: historical nonfiction with world consequences, but seen through the grounded perspective of average people. Tony Kushner, who wrote both Munich and Lincoln for the director, has adapted the book into a screenplay.

It's cool to see that Rylance is becoming something of a go-to guy for Spielberg. The actor was apparently an extremely well-respected stage actor for years before having his breakout, Oscar-winning role in Bridge of Spies, which is a testament to the Hollywood dream: if you put in hard work for years, it will eventually pay off. That's not the case for everyone, but it's certainly working out well for Rylance so far.

Production on this one starts in early 2017 for release at the end of that year, so this will be sandwiched between Ready Player One and Indiana Jones 5 for Spielberg.

The AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Films Will Feel "Very Different From One Another"

$

0

Captain America: Civil War is poised for a big reception from fans (it's already impressed critics so far), and though there are a couple of standalone films after that, the next really big Marvel Studios event is going to be the two-part Avengers: Infinity Wario9 caught up with directors Anthony and Joe Russo, producer Kevin Feige, and writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely to ask about what we can expect:

“The movies are very very different from one another,” said Anthony Russo. “It’s not a part one and part two scenario, necessarily. They’re just two different expressions. I think it creates a misconception that we’re shooting them at the same time.”

(Just to be clear: they are shooting the two movies back to back, but I think Anthony is trying to say that because of the shooting schedule, some people might think that it's just one big story that gets cut in half. It sounds like that's not the case.)

But what can we expect in terms of the story picking up from what we've seen before?

“For us there’s a through line from Winter Soldier, through Civil War, right to Infinity War,” said Anthony Russo. “In our mind, the storytelling arc moves that way.”
“There’s an overarching story that’s going to be told through all four films,” added Joe Russo. “And I think having the amount of characters we have in [Civil War] certainly prepares us to deal with probably triple the amount of characters in Infinity War.”

That sounds like an insane number of characters, which is something I've expressed trepidation about before. Maybe when I see Civil War, those concerns will be put to rest — and I really hope they are. Thankfully, Feige says that a lot of the set-up has already taken place:

“Much of the groundwork has already been laid,” he said. “That’s the truth. Doctor Strange will lay some more. Thor: Ragnarok will lay some more—but I think the majority of it is already there.”

That's good news. Everyone was tight-lipped when it came to story specifics, but the writers did mention that they're in the middle of working out the script right now:

“We sent in literally 60 pages of unrelated ideas,” Markus added. “Just like ‘Here’s some stuff that could happen in this insane movie.’ Then we came back from Atlanta and everyone had a copy of that [document] and they’d circle this, ‘This is cool, this is insane, this is cool, we’re not allowed to do that,’ and from there we’ve pieced it together very slowly. We’re in the middle of it now.”

Avengers: Infinity War — Part 1 hits on May 4, 2018, and Part 2 arrives on May 3, 2019.

6 Details in THE LORD OF THE RINGS Movies You Might Have Missed

When I saw this video pop up over at Dorkly, I was 95% sure it was a parody video. After all, it's been over a decade since the last The Lord of the Rings film came out, they were all released in the internet age, and it's a property with an immense and dedicated fanbase. The combination of those things should mean that pretty much every detail about the film should be common knowledge to geeks by 2016, but I was shocked to discover that A) this video is actually serious, and B) there were indeed a few things in it that I never noticed before (like Aragorn rocking Boromir's bracers).

The only thing in here I take issue with is that I think Peter Jackson had to have seen Ralph Bakshi's animated LOTR before he started filming this trilogy. But that's a small nitpick in an otherwise solid video. Check it out:

3 New Clips Released From GAME OF THRONES Season 6

HBO just released a stellar trailer for its epic fantasy series Game of Thrones, and the network isn't stopping with that. Three new clips from season 6 have hit the internet courtesy of EW, and the marketing department has managed to toe a fine line between giving fans content before the season premiere and also making sure that content doesn't give too much away about what the season has in store for us. Meet me below for a few quick thoughts.

These clips perfectly embody the marketing campaign as a whole. The first centers on Jaime and Cersei talking about Myrcella's death, which is something we all knew had to happen, so it's not really a spoiler in any way. The second shows Theon and Sansa on the run from Ramsay Bolton, but it doesn't actually show them doing anything of consequence or reveal how they get out of the situation. And the third shows Dany walking up to Vaes Dothrak, which we've already seen in the first trailer. So again, no big info revealed, but fans feel like they've been thrown a bone. It's a tough balance, but HBO's been walking the tightrope so far and they don't have much longer to go until the premiere on April 24th.
