What if Juliet had lived? What if she had not given her 14-year-old life for a wild boy she barely knew? What if she had not let brash youthful narcissism deformed by the patriarchy and male violence overtake her better judgment and lived a full, happy, maybe even quiet life well into whatever passed for adulthood in 14th Century Verona.
Directed by Luke Sheppard and choreographed by Jennifer Weber, & Juliet, the new jukebox musical of songs written by super-producer Max Martin, with a book by Schitt’s Creek writer David West Read, posits an answer to all those questions, though “quiet” never quite enters the equation. No, had Juliet lived, this musical, opening tonight on Broadway at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, suggests she and her pals would spend a great deal of their time belting ballads of empowerment and lecturing all within earshot about pride,...

The embargo has finally lifted, ladies and gentlemen! We can at long last discuss The Post, the new Steven Spielberg film, starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. Yes, this super fast tracked project is not only complete, but has been screening pretty consistently for critics, guild members, and the Academy itself.

Joel and Ethan Coen drop most of the sarcasm for their deeply felt character study. Everything's a big problem for Llewyn: a girl (Carey Mulligan), various agents, fellow performers, and a cat. I find Oscar Isaac's Llewyn to be wholly sympathetic, and that cat business is deeper than it looks. The terrific extras include a complete concert docu.

As HitFix Harpy has covered before, “Minority Report” takes the future very seriously. From accurately reflecting racial demographics based on scientific predictions to extrapolating the future of technology with the help of MIT, the show is trying to ground themselves in the science side of science-fiction. Tonight’s episode takes things a step further…into pre-natal pre-health. From the episode synopsis: Blake withholds information from the Defense Intelligence Agency when he learns they are on the precogs’ trail, and Arthur takes matters into his own hands to save them. Meanwhile, Dash gets a vision of a political assassination that intrudes into Vega’s personal life in the all-new “Memento Mori” episode of Minority Report airing Monday, Nov. 23 (9:01-10:00 Pm Et/Pt) on Fox. In the exclusive clip above, Vega (Meagan Good) and Dash (Stark Sands) try to figure out exactly who would want to assassinate Senator Meizhou-Shi (Angel Desai...

A couple weeks ago, Fox decided to cut the episode order for the first season of Minority Report from 13 to 10 episodes. So, has the show been cancelled?
Set in Washington D.C. 2065, Minority Report follows Lara Vega (Meagan Good), a homicide detective who becomes connected with Dash (Stark Sands). He's a psychic "precog" who's haunted by images of future crimes and is on a mission to stop them from happening. The rest of the cast includes Nick Zano, Laura Regan, Wilmer Valderrama, Daniel London, Li Jun Li, Zhane Hall, and Tina Lifford.
The series debuted on September 21st to a 1.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.1 million viewers. That was a very disappointing debut, especially for a high profile series that was given a lot of promotion from the network. The ratings dropped nearly 20% in week two and then fell...

Yesterday HitFix Harpy took a trip to the year 2065 to visit the set of “Minority Report.” While most of what I learned there is under wraps for a few more weeks, I did stumble across something amazing. Stark Sands — who plays precog Dash — has been a busy man. If Broadway comes calling for a dystopian musical about the ethics of enslaving humans to stop murders, the Sands has the opening number ready to go! The delightful @starkweather serenaded us today on the set of #MinorityReport A video posted by Donna Dickens (@mildlyamused83) on Oct 21, 2015 at 6:53pm Pdt According to Sands and fellow cast mates Laura Regan (Agatha) and Nick Zano (Arthur), the musical interlude came about during their hours and hours submerged on the milk bath set.

The Hawkeye program will go live in Monday’s episode of Fox’s “Minority Report.” In an exclusive clip obtained by TheWrap, we learn that the initiative is meant to be the new Pre-Crime, using biometric data gathered from citizens all over Washington D.C. to predict when someone will commit a violation. Det. Vega (Meagan Good) tries to convince Dash (Stark Sands) that he should sign up to join the program as an analyst. Dash is hesitant, however, as the last time he was inside police headquarters was as a pre-cog in the Pre-Crime program. Also Read: How Spielberg...

If you think some of the biggest shows premiering this fall seem a bit familiar, you aren't wrong.
In addition to the standard influx of brand-new pilots, the fall TV scheduled is jam-packed with spinoffs and reboots of films and TV shows that we already know and love. And while they might not have to explain as much about their characters and major plot points, there are still plenty of questions that need answering.
Questions like: How similar is this to the original? Do I need to watch it before I tune in? And how many of these new shows...

Minority Report hardly hits the ground running, in a pilot episode featuring weapon-ised pigeons…
Ah, Minority Report. As a TV follow-up to one of Steven Spielberg’s finest sci-fi outings, we had nothing but high hopes for you here at Geek Towers. It’s a shame to report, then, that the pilot episode leaves a lot to be desired.
The worries began with the barrage of unimaginative dialogue that spilled out of every character going for the first twenty minutes. “You think you can fix the past by meddling with the future?” asks former Precog Agatha. “Can you believe we used to stop these things before they happened?” laments Detective Lara Vega. “No-one hacks my database!” proclaims the unnamed sci-fi tech woman (she’s called Akeela, but we had to look that up).
It’s just all very by the numbers. This feels like a first draft for a generic...

I published my review of "Minority Report" last week. Now it's your turn. For those of you who watched Fox's latest attempt at a sci-fi police procedural, what did you think? Did it feel like a worthy sequel to the Spielberg/Cruise movie, or a cynical undermining of it? Did Meagan Good and/or Stark Sands interest you as leads? Or did the whole thing make you wonder why Fox bothered canceling "Almost Human," given how similar the two shows are? Have at it.
