Jonathan Lethem and Christopher Sorrentino discuss their new film books: 'They Live' and 'Death Wish'

Tags: , , Movies, Music

They-Live-and-Death-WishIf you like film books full of hagiographic hat-tipping then you should probably leave unread a new series of tomes called Deep Focus, in which contemporary writers are let loose on a movie of their choosing. Certainly the first two books, Jonathan Lethem’s They Live and his fellow novelist and friend Christopher Sorrentino’s Death Wish, are not overly fulsome in their respective appreciation of John Carpenter’s sci-fi fable and Michael Winner’s revenge saga. Lethem, for example, notes in his monograph that They Live “is probably the stupidest film ever to take ideology as its explicit subject.” Sorrentino, meanwhile, at one point dismisses Winner’s Charles Bronson-starring thriller as “often slack and shoddy.” Carpenter and Winner might well wonder, with friendly monographers like these who needs enemies?

cosmosImage Credit: Mehau Kulyk/SPL/Getty ImagesSometimes as an entertainment journalist, you’ll get a great interview assignment, whether it’s Matt Damon or Michael Caine, but rarely are you offered a one-on-one with a figure so prestigious, so well-known, and with such staying power as I was recently. In order to promote His upcoming memoir from Simon & Schuster, as well as His recently launched Twitter page, the big cheese Himself, God, deigned to speak from the heavens directly into the ear of this humble servant of Time, Inc. (All right, he may have had some help from former executive producer of The Daily Show David Javerbaum.) Like many in my field, I’ve interviewed aliens before, but this is a totally different deal. Read our entire sacrilicious exchange below.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why a memoir, and why now?
GOD: Lo, I grew weary of being misinterpreted, and blasphemed, and relegated to sneeze detail; and I longed to telleth all; and it was a matter of urgency, for on April 23, 2013, I shall bring about on Earth an event of such cataclysmic… well, ye will have to read the book. READ FULL STORY »

Tags: , , , , News, TV

Author Sara Shepard will add four new books to her Pretty Little Liars series, starting with a July 2011 release, EW has learned exclusively. The new books — from Alloy Entertainment and HarperCollins — will bring the total in the series to 12. Though the number was originally capped at eight, the ABC Family show based on the young-adult mystery series — which follows the aftermath of a popular girl’s disappearance — has been a ratings success and renewed interest in the books. The first new installment, Twisted, will be on sale July 5; Shepard’s The Lying Game was just released.

'True Blood' Exclusive: First Look at more graphic novel covers! Plus, tons of details!

by
Tags: , , , , News

True-Blood-comicsLast week, EW exclusively revealed the cover of the forthcoming True Blood graphic novel, True Blood, Vol. 1: All Together Now, and now we’ve got the reveal of the pair of covers—there are options for we ravenous consumers!—that will grace the second volume of the series, which has yet to be officially titled. The plot of the second edition (which is a compilation of six forthcoming issues of the True Blood comics series) will revolve around, of course, main character Sookie Stackhouse, whose world is turned upside down when contaminated bottles of Tru Blood cause the Southern Vampire population to go berserk. That, as you might guess, just amps up the always simmering human-vampire tension in Bon Temps.

In addition to Sookie, Bill, and Eric, new characters who weren’t in the first series will be introduced in this latest edition: Jessica Hamby, Hoyt Fortenberry, Terry Bellefleur, Arlene Fowler, Jesus Velasquez, and Steve Newlin all make appearances. In fact, speaking of Mr. Newlin, the actor who plays Fellowship of the Sun leader Steve—that’d be Michael McMillian, who’s pictured below—is also a co-author (alongside Marc Andreyko) of the second series of comics. Here, McMaillian gives us some scoop on the forthcoming graphic novel.

'True Blood' Exclusive: Here's your First Look at the graphic novel cover!

Tags: , , , , News, TV

true-blood-comic-bookHere it is, True Blood fans! EW is proud to exclusively reveal the cover to the new graphic novel True Blood, Vol. 1: All Together Now, which is the hardcover compilation of all six issues from the first comic book series set around HBO’s buzzy hit. It seems to be about what you’d expect from such a thing, right? You can’t really go wrong with Sookie, Bill, and Eric—even if they are in graphic form.

In terms of All Together Now, beside the new cover, bonus content in the compilation is set to include sketches and a cover gallery of all the issues’ separate covers. The book hits stands Feb. 8, 2011. It’s a ways off, of course, because there are still two issues of the comic book series to be released between now and then.

But, readers, what do you think of this cover? Does Sookie look like the Sookie we know? What of Bill? And Eric? Lemme know in the comments below.

Temple Grandin writing a new book: EW exclusive

Tags: , , News

Temple-GrandinImage Credit: Vera Anderson/WireImage.comEW has learned that Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has acquired a new book by animal scientist and best-selling author Temple Grandin, probably the best-known person with autism (portrayed so vividly by Claire Danes in the Emmy-winning HBO biopic). According to the publisher, The Autistic Brain: Thinking Across the Spectrum,  written with Richard Panek, will be  a “cutting-edge account of the latest science of autism and Grandin’s groundbreaking new theory of how the autistic brain works.” HMH editor-in-chief Andrea Schulz, who signed the book, told EW, “Like her books on animals, which are landmark contributions to the understanding of behavior, this new project–the book she was born to write–will do nothing less than revolutionize our thinking about autism at a time when it affects more people than ever. And she’ll do it in her inimitably down-to-earth voice, the one so many millions of people have fallen in love with.” HMH plans to publish in Fall 2012.

The stars of 'Ghost Hunters' tell kids how to show that ghost who's boss in an exclusive video

Ray Parker Jr. may not have been afraid of no ghost, but I certainly was as a kid, particularly after reading something from the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Ruin Your Chances for an Unscarred Childhood series. Luckily there’s a new book from the stars of the Syfy show Ghost Hunters to help the nightlight-inclined be more proactive. Ghost Hunt: Chilling Tales of the Unknown, by real-life and TV-life spook-chasers Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, puts kids on the offensive by giving them the necessary know-how to wander around a darkened room with a night-vision camera investigate paranormal activity via a series of stories based on actual cases. And for the adult unbelievers among you, the pair will be hosting a special live episode of their show this Halloween. Check out the exclusive video below of the two specter-detectors talking about their new book:
