Two members of 1970s rock band Orleans have sued Warner Music Group and its subsidiary label Warner Records over a dispute regarding royalty deductions the companies instituted that the members claim weren’t disclosed to them.
Still active today, Orleans saw its mainstream success in the mid-1970s with hits including “Dance with Me” and Still the One.” Longtime Orleans members John Hall and Lance Hoppen filed their class action lawsuit last week, alleging that Warner has been deducting royalties from them through International “intercompany charges,” where Warner’s foreign...

Have Amy Schumer and Ben Hanisch called it quits?
A source tells People the couple has broken up after nearly a year and a half together, though Schumer’s rep has not responded to a request for comment.
The two were last photographed together in January and have appeared less frequently on each other’s social media.
Schumer, 35, last posted a photo with Hanisch, 30, on March 12 ahead of the Golden Globes, which they attended together.
And the Chicago-based furniture designer did not accompany the star at the premiere of her latest film Snatched earlier this month.

A Complete Guide to Every Song Written By Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello During Their Partnership
Though his music can be heard in all corners of the globe, Paul McCartney’s songwriting process is impressively homegrown. When he teamed with Elvis Costello for sessions that would ultimately yield his 1989 album Flowers in the Dirt, the pair met at McCartney’s personal studio: a converted corn mill dubbed Hog Hill Mill, a short drive from his farm in rural southern England. Armed with nothing more high-tech than a pencil, paper and acoustic guitar, two of the world’s most influential composers climbed the steps to a small office tucked above the studio and pulled tunes out of thin air.

SXSW Interview — ‘68 Kill’ Is Not Your Dad’s Trailer Trash Porn“All money’s got blood on it, one way or another.”Poster art by Evan Yarbrough“You shovel shit for a living. I suck dick. I’m tired of it. What do you want out of life?” — Liza in ‘68 Kill’
68 Kill is a straight whiskey flick with a whiskey chaser. Trent Haaga (writer, director) is not playing about when it comes to his characters. They’re wild, authentic, and painfully mean. For all intents, he’s made a female exploitation film but gender-swapped nearly all the characters. It’s a story about two victims of abuse trying to find their way in life. Well, trying to find their way to $68,000 and then, maybe, life. There’s a lot more than surface level violence for fun’s sake going on here. But, from the get-go, you need to understand that you’re in for some grindhouse nastiness...

Oh, Amy Schumer!
It's officially been one year since the 35-year-old comedian met her boyfriend, Ben Hanisch, and in celebration of their special day, she took to Instagram to gush over the Chicago-based furniture designer in the most Amy Schumer-like way.

With two seasons of True Detective under his belt, Nic Pizzolatto is trying his damnedest to break into the feature film side of Hollywood. While he co-wrote this fall’s The Magnificent Seven remake, his longest-developing project is his own adaptation of his 2010 novel Galveston. Once set to be in the hands of Armadillo helmer Janus Metz with Matthias Schoenarts leading, a new creative team has now come on board.
Mélanie Laurent, coming off her excellent, overlooked drama Breathe, will now make her English-language debut directing Ben Foster and Elle Fanning in the drama. Foster leads the “visceral crime thriller set in a boiling cauldron of violence and desperation” as a terminally ill man who is also being hunted down by his loan-shark boss. When one thinks of Pizzolatto, Laurent’s tender, intimate style of filmmaking isn’t quite the first thing that pops in our head, but her involvement...

It's billed as a sequel to Cloverfield, but is 10 Cloverfield Lane all it seems? We take a look at the subject of unrelated sequels...
In an era where it's just about impossible to make a high-profile movie without at least something leaking onto the web, producer Jj Abrams seems to have pulled off the ultimate coup in recent months: he and his company Bad Robot have secretly created a follow-up, of sorts, to the 2008 hit monster movie, Cloverfield.
On the 15th January, a trailer landed for 10 Cloverfield Lane, a claustrophobic horror thriller that Abrams described in a statement to Collider as a "blood relative" of that earlier film directed by Matt Reeves.
The premise is this: Mary Elizabeth Winstead's character, Michelle, is injured in a car accident and wakes up in a bunker with 40-something survivalist, Howard (John Goodman).

With the latest X-Men spin-off, Gambit, eyeing an October shooting date, it’s been all go on the casting front, with a shortlist of actresses, including Lea Seydoux (Spectre), Abby Lee (Mad Max: Fury Road), and Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation), being looked at to play female lead Belladonna Bourdeaux alongside Channing Tatum’s titular smooth talking, playing card throwing mutant thief. That shortlist is now down to one name, with Deadline reporting that Ferguson dropping out of contention to star in thriller The Girl on the Train has seen Fox offer Seydoux the role (fun little detail: Seydoux is also member of the Mission: Impossible family, having played a ruthless assassin in Ghost Protocol) X-Men fans will know what an important role Belladonna plays in Gambit’s backstory, with the pair once married in a ceremony to unite the Assassin’s and Thieves Guilds of New Orleans.

Over the weekend, a Mardi Gras-er caught Harbin and detective Decynda Barnes doing "the Wobble" (which is apparently a dance craze that we somehow missed? We know the Dougie, we know the Cupid Shuffle, why don't we know the Wobble?). This isn't his first time either—(he did it for Mardi Gras in 2013 too). Adorable fact: He learned the Wobble for his daughter's wedding. "I'm subject to the Wobble at any moment," he told The Times-Picayune. "I was walking down the street...and the song was on. I...

The third track on one of my favorite rock records of the last decade, Okkervil River’s The Stage Names, is called “A Hand to Take Hold of the Scene.” Without context, its lyric is a bit of a tough nut to crack. Will Sheff sings about events unfolding on a TV screen in the first verse, recaps a dream in the second, and seems to outline the narrator’s innermost wishes in the third. What’s not immediately apparent is that the first verse outlines scenes from two completely different TV shows – scenes that happened to be scored by Okkervil River songs. The first half of the verse refers to “It Ends With a Fall” (from Down the River of Golden Dreams) and its use on the reality series Breaking Bonaduce. (I don’t have that clip handy.) The second half, and probably the more illustrative of the two in any case,...

It's Friday guys! Party.
Yesterday on The Talk, Aisha Tyler said the only time she's drank alcohol while working was when she was going to be kissing another woman on screen and the other woman was nervous and suggested they have some screwdrivers. The only movie I know that Aisha kissed another woman in was .45, and she got a little steamy with Milla Jovovich. By process of elimination, I think it's her! Now you all know that Milla likes screwdrivers.
Syd tha Kid discussed Odd Future's being dropped from the bill at an Australian music fest, Big Day Out, because of their homophobic and misogynistic lyrics. She doesn't seem to agree with the promoters.
It’s ignorance at its finest. If they really knew what Odd Future was they wouldn’t have been able to pull us from the bill for being homophobic. They’re calling us homophobic, okay, for using homophobic slurs?...

Reel Movie News had a chance to catch up with the very talented Tom Sturridge. Sturridge appears in the indie-film Waiting For Forever as Will, alongside Rachel Bilson.
He plays Bilson's childhood friend who doesn't seem to be able to grow up. Will has been in love with Emma (Bilson) since childhood and is willing to wait forever for the love of his life.
The British actor talked to us about perfecting his American accent and what he looks for when choosing roles.
Waiting For Forever hits theaters in limited release on Friday February 4, 2011.
What encouraged you to take on the role in Waiting For Forever?
I think it was partly getting to work with the people involved. I’d just seen The Visitor, so working with Richard Jenkins was incredibly exciting. Scott Mechlowicz did a movie called Mean Creek which was one of my favorite films when I was younger.

Luke Wilson is set to return to the criminal ways that made him a star. We first got to know Wilson, as well as his brother Owen, as wannabe criminals in Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket and now Luke's about to team up against the law again. He'll star in Meeting Evil alongside Samuel L. Jackson and Leslie Bibb, which sounds kind of like Falling Down meets Breaking Bad. Directed by Chris Fisher (S. Darko) based on a 1992 novel by Thomas Berger, Wilson plays a recently fired real estate agent who teams up with a stranger (Jackson) on a crime spree that reveals his dark side. Bibb plays Wilson's wife. Read more about it after the break. Meeting Evil is scheduled to start filming January 8 in New Orleans and is being produced by the Motion Picture Corporation of America, according to The Wrap.

Analysis: The first film in a decade from arthouse darling Whit Stillman, a filmmaker's filmmaker whose three Manhattan-based, yuppie-themed mannerist comedies - "Metropolitan," "Barcelona" and "The Last Days of Disco" - were a big influence on the likes of auteurs such as Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach. Stillman says this film varies somewhat from his previous trilogy of sorts, telling First Things that "This film is different, Completely different.

Tyler Perry is no stranger to tackling serious subject matter and neither does he shy away from it. In his latest film for Lionsgate, he has brought together quite a gathering of talented female actors for the movie For Colored Girls. With the combined strength of their star power alone, this movie could bring quite a draw.
For Colored Girls is an adaptation of Ntozake Shange’s award nominated play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf. Originally a choreopoem, the movie has a cast of eight women of color and follows along the original work’s lyrical structure. The focus of the film is how such weighty topics such as the betrayal of infidelity, abandonment, rape, abortion and love affect women, but especially those of color.

The Chase is almost on. On September 20, NBC debuts the new fugitive-hunting drama (check out my review of the pilot episode here). In anticipation of premiere day, we chatted with series stars Kelli Giddish and Cole Hauser, as well as creator and executive producer Jennifer Johnson, about the show, the influences of their past work, and bringing on another crime show in this day and age.
Jennifer, coming off of Cold Case, you’d know better than anyone that we have a ton of crime dramas on the air today. What made you want to return to that genre to create Chase, and how do you differentiate it from all the other series on the air?
Jennifer Johnson: I would call this one visceral. Basically when I was approached by Bruckheimer TV to do this the way I latched on to the idea was that I had a family...

Yes, Virginia, it’s another Jerry Bruckheimer show.
I can’t even begin to list all the TV series that Bruckheimer has been involved with since CSI. I can tell you that some were good (Cold Case, Without A Trace when it wasn’t digressing into who was sleeping with whom) and some weren’t (The Forgotten was quickly just that). His latest entry is Chase (September 20), which drops squarely into the oversaturated landscape of TV crime shows as the third show to feature U.S. Marshals (following In Plain Sight and Justified). These U.S. Marshals are tasked with fugitive recovery, going from their Dallas home base to anywhere in the country in order to bring down the worst offenders, since doing a show about chasing down bail-jumpers or deadbeat parents would be beyond the scope of dramatic television.
