Exclusive: Domestic rights for the George Gallo directed Robert De Niro comedy The Comeback Trail have been scooped up by Cloudburst Entertainment for a Nov. 13 wide release. Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones star.
The second teaming between De Niro and Gallo since the 1988 action comedy Midnight Run, which the latter wrote, follows Max Barber (De Niro) and his partner Walter (Zach Braff) who play down-and-out B-Movie producers who find themselves in trouble with mob boss Reggie Fontaine (Morgan Freeman). To save himself and Walter, Barber has to sell the only great script he’s ever had to his former intern and, now, A-Movie producer, James Moore (Emile Hirsch). On the first day of shooting Moore’s lead actor dies in a stunt accident and lets him cash in on a huge insurance policy. That gives Barber an idea to do the same. They take a horrible...

In an extremely unfiltered profile by the Washington Post, Roseanne Barr talked at length about the cancellation of the revival of “Roseanne” — and in part blamed her former co-star and TV daughter Sara Gilbert.
“She destroyed the show and my life with that tweet,” Barr told the Post. “She will never get enough until she consumes my liver with a fine Chianti.”
Barr was referring to remarks Gilbert made on May 29 in response to a series of early-morning tweets in which Barr insulted Valerie Jarrett and repeated slurs about Democratic donor George Soros. Roseanne ultimately deleted the tweets and apologized for them.
Gilbert later said on Twitter that the remarks were “abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show.”

It has been a banner year of publicity for Singapore, the runaway success of “Crazy Rich Asians” and the global news focus of the Kim-Trump Summit shining a spotlight on the small city state. With recent announcements of a raft of premium TV productions, the island is also fast establishing itself as a major regional center for creative production, financing and broadcast deal-making.
Authorities in Singapore have long courted brands like Discovery, Fox and Disney with favorable tax and employment environments. These efforts are now paying dividends on the deal-making front, with international players opening regional offices in Singapore to take advantage of the critical mass and infrastructure.
“The talent pool is great here. We moved our creative services team from Hong Kong to Singapore about two or three years ago,” said James Moore, corporate communications director at Turner Asia Pacific. “A lot of our big clients are down this way,...
