Curb Your Enthusiasm is coming back for season 9 on HBO on Sunday, October 1st.

As you can clearly see in the season 9 trailer, Larry David hasn’t lost in step in being a grouch. If anything, he may have actually upped his game a bit in being curmudgeon.

Bryan Cranston’s TV Adaptation of “The Dangerous Book for Boys” Ordered to Series at Amazon

As the book is a special kind of “how-to” book, there’d have to be an episode about who knocks, right?

Richard Linklater Is Making Sequel to Hal Ashby’s The Last Detail with Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne, and Steve Carell

Amazon Studios will be footing the bill here and, in doing so, is continuing their push to be a prestige studio.

The Last Detail was a dramedic adaptation of Daryl Ponicsan’s novel of the same name by Hal Ashby back in 1973. Ponicsan wrote a follow-up in 2005 called The Last Flag, which is being adapted now by the very capable hands of Richard Linklater with Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne, and Steve Carell in talks to play the roles originally played by Jack Nicholson, Otis Young, and Randy Quaid.

Those sequel fatigue might be more and more palpable for the big screen, Last Flag Flying might be one sequel worth getting on board for.

IFC’s is really branching out this year. 

With anything ranging from Portlandia to Maron to Comedy Bang! Bang! to Documentary Now!, IFC is really trying to make its mark with programming that fall under their banner of ‘Always On Slightly Off.” 

The slate of series that they’re developing really takes that moniker to new territory. 

For 2016, IFC’s slate has: 

-Todd Barth Can Help You-a new series from Bryan Cranston, along with Clay Graham and Steven Weber, follows an insurance adjuster who decides to, all of sudden, make a go at being a new age self-help guru.
-Canterbury Tales-Set around Hollywood’s first punk rock club in the 70s, this Allison Anders (Mi Vida Loca, Grace Of My Heart) and Terry Graham (drummer for seminal punk band The Bags, Gun Club, and author of Punk Like Me) series follows a brand new spankin’ band trying to make it.
–Detective Lady-BoJack Horseman’s Kelly Galuska has made a noir-ish comedy focused on a play-by-her-own rules detective.
-How to Rig an Election-Adapted from Allen Raymond’s book How to Rig An Election, Tom Ruprecht (Late Night with David Letterman, The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore) is set to explore the dark side of political campaigning that people are becoming more and more aware of everyday.
–Grand Lake-From WGA award-winning Gretchen Enders (Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street), this dark comedy circles two friends who wish the worst for each other.
-Laughs in Translation-The Above Average web series hosted by Brooks Wheelan where he tries to discover what makes for comedy around the world might be getting an upgrade to linear TV.
-Living With Yourself-Emmy and Peabody award-winning Tim Greenberg (Daily Show) has made a layered, philosophical comedy that trails a frustrated copywriter desperate to become a better person who goes through a unique treatment to do so. 
-This Land Is Ours-This series from Vicki Pepperdine and Joanna Scanlan (Creators of Getting On and Puppy Love) shows squatters in Harlem squaring off with billionaires to keep the building they love. 
-Jon Benjamin’s 100 Erotic Nights-Jon Benjamin delves into confessions of passion and betrayal all while still being Jon Benjamin.
–A late night talk show Hosted by Jim Norton-A newer version of Norton’s talk show that he briefly had on Vice.

It would seem that it takes very little time for Wes Anderson to assemble a stellar cast.

Bryan Cranston is being brought into the Wes Anderson fold along with Jeff Goldblum, Bob Balaban, and Edward Norton for Anderson’s latest movie involving dogs and stop motion animation.

Let your imagination run wild with the possibilities of them voicing ultra clever dialogue as dogs. Personally, we’re fixated on imagining them at a poke table like in one of C.M. Coolidge’s famous paintings.

Watch Trailer For Bryan Cranston’s Stop Motion Animation Superhero Comedy “SuperMansion”

Looks like The Awesomes have a cross-online streaming service rival.

Bryan Cranston has a lot of irons on the fire post-Breaking Bad and finally one of them has been taken out and hammered it into what seems to be a fun sort of spin-off from Robot Chicken (Stoopid Buddy Studios, the folks behind Robot Chicken, produce this show) for Crackle, SuperMansion.

It follows old superheroes trying to stay relevant and feel meaningful in the world of today, though much more edgy and adult than The Incredibles seemingly a little more than Hulu’s similar series, The Awesomes.

It also boasts a star studded voice cast with Seth Green, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, Jillian Bell, Chris Pine, Ron Perlman, Famke Janssen, Donald Faison, Breckin Meyer, Anton Yelchin, and Nick Kroll.

Watch the trailer, which just made its premiere at Comic-Con, here, then look for its premiere this Fall on Crackle.

Bryan Cranston Animated Superhero Comedy “SuperMansion” Coming to Crackle Later This Year

Get ready for Cranston to be done up Robot Chicken style.

In announcing their entire upcoming slate, Crackle has unveiled an animated series starring Bryan Cranston that’s set for release in the fall. Collaborating with Robot Chicken’s Matthew Senreich and Zeb Wells, Cranston will star as an older superhero attempting to lead other older superheroes in SuperMansion. Seth Green, Keegan Michael-Key, and Jillian Bell will also be featured voices in the cast.

Now we’re wondering if Seth Meyers’ The Awesomes on Hulu and SuperMansion’s superhero team “The League of Freedom” would ever have a cross streaming service showdown.

(via Deadline)

A couple of months ago, Bryan Cranston announced that he was officially developing a series based on The Dangerous Book For Boys by Conn and Hal Iggulden. 

That project has officially made the next step as it was just bought up by NBC. Greg Mottola, who has directed episodes of The Comeback and Arrested Development as well as Superbad, is set to write and direct the adaptation.

Along with other projects such as the one based on Joe Wengert’s life, NBC’s development slate gets more and more intriguing.

Bryan Cranston Adapting ‘Dangerous Book for Boys’ as a Comedy Series for TV

In addition to producing a web series at Crackle, Bryan Cranston is furthering his role behind-the-scenes with adapting Conn and Hal Iggulden’s The Dangerous Book for Boys as a comedy series, hopefully for TV. Based off the book, the series would follow three boys trying to raise themselves imaginatively without a father. 

So, this might be somewhere, tangentially, in the realm The Kings of Summer or Moonrise Kingdom with Cranston at the helm. So, we’re on board.

Crackle Orders Comedy Web Series ‘Tightrope’ From Bryan Cranston

Get ready for Bryan Cranston coming back to comedy in a new web series at Crackle where there, apparently, will a modern day person input into a classic detective series.

Whatever this series called Tightrope ends up being, it sure sounds pretty great now and thus you should watch out for it.

So, There Might Be a Series by Robot Chicken’s Matt Senreich Voiced by Bryan Cranston

It’s only natural that so many comedy folks were on Breaking Bad that Bryan Cranston follow up his starring role as Walter White with a turn to an old over-the-hill superhero, right?

We’re assuming that there’ll be a more official announcement of where we can see this (though it’d be hard to imagine it not being at Adult Swim) soon.
