JOE MANGANIELLO KNOWS WHAT WOMEN WANT

With brains to match all that brawn, Joe Manganiello is more than meets the eye. Though the True Blood star plays a brute on TV, Mickey Rapkin learns he's actually just a gentleman in wolf's clothing. Of course, he also happens to look great naked. 
ELLE: Do women ever underestimate your intelligence because of your looks?
JM: All the time, but it makes it easier to know what they’re about. And I can use that [assumption] to surprise the audience. These characters I play? The shirtless dude doing pull-ups in a park? It’s a chapter of my career. I did Ibsen and Chekhov for years. Obviously I didn’t get the kind of recognition I have now. Somebody once told me, “You ride the horse the direction it’s going.” Read the whole interview at Elle.

I still don't know, Alexander as Tarzan? 
Franchise-building is the name of the game in Hollywood and, for their part, Warner Bros. has multiple DC comic-based movies (Batman vs. Superman) and TV shows (Gotham, The Flash) cooking in the kitchen. However, the studio has also been planning to dust off one of the longest-running cinematic properties in film history, with a new Tarzan movie installment; that is, despite having delayed the project earlier this year, in order to (what else?) cut down the cost and avoid potential scheduling conflicts.David Yates – who directed the fifth through eighth installments in the Harry Potter series is onboard to helm the film, which stands to be the first studio-backed Tarzan live-action movie released in the 21st century (a telling qualifier, yes, but moving on…). True Blood‘s Alexander SkarsgĂ„rd is still lined up to headline as Edgar Rice Burroughs’ iconic “ape-man,” but previously-rumored cast members like Samuel L. Jackson and Jessica Chastain do not appear to be either tapped for and/or circling the project at this time.
Hmm, this sounds better, a brief synopsis of the plot of Tarzan- 
Years after he’s re-assimilated into society, [John Clayton III, a.k.a. Tarzan] is asked by Queen Victoria to investigate the goings-on in the Congo. Tarzan teams with an ex-mercenary named George Washington Williams to save the Congo from a fierce warlord who controls a massive diamond mine.
And this-
Variety is reporting that Oscar-magnet (when he’s in a Quentin Tarantino movie, anyway) Christoph Waltz has entered talks to play the villain role. More

The very talented Carrie Preston has directed a new web series and it needs funding to go further so here's the Kickstarter  link.
Leo Darwin Is A Life Coach Whose Life Is Falling Apart.WHAT IS DARWIN: THE SERIES?
This is an original webseries directed by Carrie Preston (TRUE BLOOD, THE GOOD WIFE) and created by Christopher Gerson, Karl Kenzler and Lynn Rosen. We are raising money to fund production to complete the first season. Now you could read a long description about the project, the creative team, our hopes and dreams... but we think the best way to learn about DARWIN is to just watch the show! We've finished the first two episodes of the series and they are available for viewing below. Enjoy!
