Say What Sabrina The Teenage Witch is going dark?!

I was perusing the internet the other day and I heard about this and of course I just had to read this article as I used to watch "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" when I was younger and of course I wanted to know what the hell was going on with saying that this remake was going to be darker.

According to The Hollywood Reporter's website the CW channel over in America is looking to expand the Archie character comic book universe with plans for Roberto Aguirre-Sarcasa who also does the "Riverdale" show already on the CW channel looking to make a much darker "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" which will serve as a companion to the "Riverdale" series, and will see Sabrina having to deal with her half-human, half-witch nature while fighting evil forces that threaten her, her family and the world that humans live in which if given the go ahead will be written by Aguirre-Sarcasa along with Greg Berlanti who will executive produce this newly adapted show that according to this same article will be done in the vein of "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Exorcist".

According to this same article Sarah Schechter will also executive produce, and Jon Goldwater and Lee Toland Krieger will direct the pilot should this get the go ahead with Berlanti Productions producing in association with Warner Bros. TV.

Oooh...sounds like to me that the CW channel are prepared to spend the big bucks with Warner Bros. maybe getting involved in this production wise.

Not only this but according to this same article this new series that will be called "The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina" is not the only potential project that the CW channel are working on according to this same article on The Hollywood Reporter's website, the channel is already readying a spinoff show to "Supernatural" called "Wayward Sisters", this according to The Hollywood Reporter's website "...will air as a backdoor pilot sometime this season...".

This will if it gets the go ahead according to this article could potentially debut in the 2018-19 TV season. This also according to this same article could potentially be made into a dark hour long coming-of-age drama that will traffic in the occult and witchcraft.

MUST LISTEN TO MACKLEMORE!

You may or may not have heard but Macklemore have 2 New tracks out that somehow seem to have slipped through Radio 1's net...this coming from a station that claims to play "In New Music We Trust" artists.

Anyhew...I'm not going to start ranting about this again because I'll never be able to stop,-note previous posts about this-.

I was on YouTube.com's website yesterday and as well as listening to their other NEW! music "Glorious ft. Skylar Grey" which I played none stop on my holiday to St. Tropez, there was 2 tracks of theirs that were "Recommended For You" music video that you guys just have to listen to as well as the interview with Rollingstone Magazine that the vocalist Ben Haggarty has just done that I think you should read if your like me and a huge fan of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis where he talks about his NEW! Gemini tour and album without Ryan Lewis.

Be warned though that although when I first heard about this NEW! Gemini tour I was really excited because I've been lucky enough to see Macklemore ft. Ryan Lewis at the O2 area and they were amazing so I thought I'll definitely see if there was a venue that I could go see them near me but then I read that this is only across the US these tour dates are, here's the link to see these tour dates if anyone fancy's a trip to see Macklemore:

I have to be honest when I first heard about the NEW! Gemini tour I thought that it was the name of the new tour that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were going to do...well I guess you live and learn something new everyday.

Anyhew in case you haven't heard this song "Glorious ft. Skylar Grey" already here is the YouTube link below to have a little listen and see what you think about it:

And the other 2 "Recommended For You" music videos were "Marmalade ft. Young Yachty" I like this even though it does sound different but who wouldn't like it when one of the lyrics in the song is "Toy Story 3 that's a fucking good movie" and just because it's Macklemore...and their NEW! song featuring Kesha "Good Old Days". Here is the YouTube link below if you've not heard it yet and see what you think:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyBooxCkF3A

I've just seen on YouTube that there is now an official music video for this NEW! Macklemore ft. Kesha song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yYV9-KoSUM

And I'm betting because this features Kesha this will then get some airplay but to be honest that's why you get duets anyway because a lesser known artist wants to get heard and some airplay so they do a duet with a really big artist.

I do have to say though I like the artwork for each of these singles.

NEW! Evanescence Album Update!

Yes! Just managed to get the internet working on my lap top...I seriously don't know what is happening with this old thing today one minute it will let me open a tab to go on Google the next it says "Can't Reach This Page".

Well anyway...I'm here and ready to blog!

You may or may not already know but Evanescence are going to be releasing a newish album with an orchestra that according to Kerrang! Magazine online "...will be a collection of older material given fresh makeovers, mixing electronic elements with orchestral accompaniments...", and there will be a tour to go with this NEW! album "Synthesis" and this orchestra will also be performing alongside with the band on this tour with this same article saying that you can get tickets to see the band perform at:

30th March 2018 Royal Albert Hall
31st March 2018 Royal Albert Hall

And:

2nd April 2018 Manchester Apollo
3rd April 2018 Nottingham Arena
5th April 2018 Glasgow Armadillo
5th April 2018 Sheffield City Hall

According Amazon this album will be released on November 10th 2017.
This album if you've been reading this blog or even if you haven't will have a newish stripped back version of their massive No.1 hit "Bring Me To Life" and other tracks on this album will include according to this same Kerrang! Magazine online article:

1. Overture
2. Never Go Back
3. Hi-Lo
4. My Heart Is Brokenhaving
5. Lacrymosa
6. The End Of A Dream
7. Bring Me To Life
8. Unraveling
9. Imaginary
10. Secret Door
11. Lithium
12. Post In Paradise
13. Your Star
14. My Immortal
15. The In-Between
16. Imperfection

I was just thinking that it's a shame that along with having "My Immortal", "Bring Me To Life", "My Heart Is Broken" and "Lithium" from their back catalogue of fan favourite songs on this album that they haven't put on this album my other favourite of theirs "Call Me When Your Sober" I love the music video for this the whole idea of Little Red Riding Hood having dinner with the wolf, and now that I think about it it's a shame that "Do What You Want" isn't also on the album as this is I think an amazing song of theirs.

Also apart from being able to already hear what this NEW! version of "Bring Me To Life" sounds like, you can now have a listen to the first single from this album "Imperfection", here is the YouTube link below to have a little listen and see what you think if you haven't listened to it already:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6l4ghme4-M

This might be just me but the piano at the start of this cinematic sounding dramatic track sounds very much like the piano in Elliott Minor's "Parallel Worlds", and this also might be just me but all the electronics on the song makes it sounds to me very mechanical...but THANK GOD their back!

Drum Roll Please! "Baywatch" DVD release date!

Listen Up Everyone! I'd advise you to stop whatever your doing right now this is THE MOST IMPORTANT news you are going to hear all day today..."Baywatch" is going to be released on DVD on September 25th 2017. Sorry for the change in date but I was a little side tracked when I wrote this post so I didn't really keep checking the order details and if they had changed or not.

I was perusing my e-mail inbox yesterday and finally after what seems like aaaaaaaages to me of there being no e-mail update from Amazon on when this DVD will be released on DVD but it just saying on my order details on my Amazon account that I had pre-ordered this...well it's "Baywatch" why wouldn't you pre-order this if not for the hilarious insults that are hurled at Zac Efron by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

If you haven't seen this film yet, why the hell not? and I'd advise that you stop reading the rest of this post as what I'm about to write next may contain some if not all spoilers.

For those in the know this film is based on the TV series "Baywatch" which starred Pamela Anderson as CJ Parker and David Hasselhoff as Mitch who was in charge of all the lifeguards that looked after the beach and they wore all red swimsuits and particularly the girls always ran in slow motion and they always had very far fetched storylines so much so it was pure comedy...but this is where this film takes its lead, this still is pure comedy using characters from the original TV series as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays the character Mitch who is a dedicated lifeguard and takes it seriously as do all the people in his team until Zac Efron who plays a washed up ex American Olympic swimmer who's reputation for partying hard cost him his place on the team and also another gold medal so he has to do community service alongside Mitch and immediately gets the piss taken out of him as he rocks up in a leather biker jacket, bandana, blonde highlights on the back of a motorcycle and has his medals with him showing them off to everyone automatically assuming everyone knows who he is and that he doesn't have to do what everybody else does to become a lifeguard and go through timed trials...cue a competition with Dwayne Johnson to lift fridges, rollover tyres and even at one point Zac Efron saying that "This has nothing to do with saving lives".

And from here Mitch and his team including Zac Efron have to investigate when Mitch finds that a lot of small floka packages (drugs) keep floating onto the beach and they then find a council member dead and that it all leads back to Victoria Leeds who is played by Priyanka Chopra.

Ok you can now look if you've been trying not to read those two last paragraphs.

I urge you to not only buy a copy of this DVD when it's released or even download or stream this film just because you haven't seen it yet, but just for the insults thrown at Zac Efron to hearing the immortal words of "I'm Oceananic motherfucker" said by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as he uncovers this drug smuggling operation and puts an end to it. But also you've got to watch it just to see the cameos of Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff...but also I urge you to get this on DVD for the always reason of there never seems to be anything good to watch on TV these days.

Here's a Little Something To Make Your Day Go Just a Little Bit Better ....Fast And Furious 8 DVD Release Date

In between having my ear glued to listening to Radio 1 all day today because of Radio 1's Live Lounge with 30 Seconds To Mars,-one of my favourite bands by the way,- I received an update in my e-mail inbox from Amazon saying that "Fast and Furious 8" will be released on DVD on 16th October 2017....Sweeeet!

Well this has just made my day even better not only because 30 Seconds to Mars being on Radio 1 but because I am a huge fan of this franchise of films and after seeing this latest film in my local cinema I of course jumped on Amazon's website and pre-ordered this film.

In case you haven't seen this one,-why the hell did you not go to see this at the cinema when it came out is my first question, second is why haven't you already pre-ordered this on DVD and if you haven't seen this then you really should get this on DVD as not only are the original cast members in this one: Vin Diesel who plays the character Dominic Toretto, Michelle Rodriguez who plays Letty Ortiz,  Chris "Ludacris" Bridges who plays the character Tej Parker, Tyrese Gibson who plays the character Roman Pierce, there is also new cast members: Helen Mirren who plays Owen and Deckard Shaw's mother, Scott Eastwood who plays Little Nobody who is Kurt Russell's sidekick in training, Charlize Theron who plays villain Cipher, and there are cast members reprising roles from previous "Fast and Furious" films: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson who plays the character Hobbs, Elsa Pataky who plays the character "Elena" who you may or may not recognise from "Fast and Furious 5", Nathalie Emmanuelle who plays the character "Ramsey" who you may or may not recognise from "Fast and Furious 7", Jason Statham who plays the character Deckard Shaw, Luke Evans who plays the character Owen Shaw who you may or may not recognise from either "Fast and Furious 6" or from "Beauty and The Beast" where he played the character "Gaston" and Kurt Russell who you may or may not recognise from "Fast and Furious 7" who plays the character Mr. Nobody...and if this isn't enough to make you want to see this film then not to give too much away but there is even more insane stunts like in the other "Fast and Furious" films, even more cool locations and even more cool cars.

Also if you haven't got this on DVD then this would just be good for you to get as there is never anything good to watch on TV these days bar the actual good shows that don't come on to the TV until late at night....and there is a lot of action in this film that you might enjoy if your into that kind of thing.

Anyhew...now I write this I among from sounding like I'm trying to advertise this for those who haven' seen this film before to go and watch this on DVD I realise that this is more of an announcement about when this film is going to be released on DVD in the UK rather than needing a blog post about this and how this news has just taken my day from amazing listening to Radio 1's Live Lounge to another level of excitement.
