HBO leaked a small little Newsroom trailer this weekend.  While shorter than the invitation to the set trailer released this month this video shows some of the actors and show-runners behind the scenes.  Here it is: Welp. Not much there, right? We hope to get some REAL trailers in soon as Game of Thrones winds down. Look for one possibly alongside Behind the Candelabra this Sunday night at 9 in place of...

Many are eagerly awaiting the return of Aaron Sorkin’s THE NEWSROOM. We have already been reminded of its return via a  Tease and if and when a full Trailer or two arise they will be appended to that particular post. But, here to whet your appetite for the stressful, fast-paced world that is the ACN newsroom and anchor desk here is Sorkin (creator/executive producer) & Alan Poul (executive producer/director) in a video from the set. To me the most interesting information is the opening line from the show’s creator. He says that Season 2 has a “different structure” than Season...

Politics is a dangerous game to play whether it’s a polite argument between friends, a shouting match between two strangers after one overhears the other’s conversation,  or when news anchors spew vitriol at each other on national television. Everyone loves to watch it, some people like to learn about, but everyone hates it when what could be a simple disagreement over second amendment rights has suddenly torpedoed an otherwise happy and enjoyable relationship. Will McAvoy has immersed his life in politics, but he doesn’t want to just play the game anymore. He’s tired...

Just before Game of Thrones aired tonight HBO showed a quick teaser trailer for the second season of The Newsroom. Now, when we say teaser that’s exactly what we mean in this case. No new footage at all this time. Just some images of the set this time so don’t shoot the messenger! Here it is: The premiere date was announced by HBO last week but it sure feels good to see it here. July 14th at...

Last year The Newsroom took many viewers by surprise.  The show shined a spotlight on how an American newsroom runs in this day and age and while some critics were thoroughly impressed others were left wanting more from a second season. Today HBO has confirmed that the second season will air July 14th at 10PM!  This is a bit of a departure from last year’s schedule where  The Newsroom ran alongside True Blood.  But with the latter having been reduced to ten episodes this season HBO is probably trying to align these shows in such a way as to give us some great programming all...

The 30th anniversary of the Paleyfest held by the Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles kicked off Friday, March 1st. Paleyfest is an annual event held for two weeks, and it brings a lot of the actors and producers of some of television’s biggest shows to a live audience. The audience usually get treated with new, yet to be seen episodes or clips, and a live interaction with their favorite stars. I had the honor of attending three of the shows at Paleyfest; Walking Dead, Arrow and The Newsroom. I have been to past Paleyfest events and have become very fond of this organization. I have...

The Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills, CA hosts big events from time to time and recently at such an event Aaron Sorkin sat in on a panel and talked about his HBO venture THE NEWSROOM. The creator and executive producer had a few insights into how Season 2 will be structured and only one plot point was disclosed. First, is that little tidbit about plot; the only one evidently offered during this panel. It was alluded that the characters of Don Keefer, who is the former News Night  producer, and Sloan Sabbith, the economist on staff, become an item in the second season. They are played...

With all of the faces running around HBO’s Newsroom you’re probably having trouble keeping all of their names straight at this point.  Well we’re here to make your job a little tougher this morning   Deadline is reporting that Cosntance Zimmer, probably best known to HBO fans as Ari Gold’s sometimes hookup Dana Gordon, will be joining Will McAvoy for Season 2 of The Newsroom. The sophomore season of Newsroom is said to cover the 2012 presidential election and Zimmer will play Taylor, a press spokesperson for the Mitt Romney campaign.  She also dives into...

Rosemarie Dewitt and Andrew Rannells are each unable to continue their roles in two different HBO series. Back in an 11.12 post  an HBOWatch reported that two new cast members were assigned to recurring roles on THE NEWSROOM. Patton Oswalt is still on-board but it has been reported that Rosemarie DeWitt has fell away from the series. HBO released in a statement that due to a shift in the production schedule DeWitt had conflicts with other projects that took precedent and will no longer be able to continue in her role. She was to play Rebecca Halliday, a litigator defending ACN in a suit...
