Christian Post Report – Maks Chmerkovskiy posted this picture of him and Meryl Davis on Instagram on Feb. 21, 2015.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Meryl Davis are reuniting on the dance floor. The pair, who won the Mirror Ball Trophy on “Dancing With the Stars” season 18 will be featured on the upcoming dance extravaganza “SWAY: A Dance Trilogy,” on June 5 and 6 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.

“I can’t stay away,” says Chmerkovskiy of his “DWTS” partner. “We love working together. Any opportunity I get to dance with her is welcome.”

The Olympic gold-winning ice dancer took part in her first SWAY production back in December but was only able to dance for one night because of her busy schedule. This time, she will be on two shows and the matinee on June 6, according to People.

Chmerkovskiy says that Davis loves to be a part of the show.

“We love having her,” said the 35-year old dance pro. “She’s just a pleasure.”

Though rumors that the two are secretly dating still swirl on the internet two season after they’ve won the grand prize at the hit ABC dance competition show, Chmerkovskiy insists that they are only friends and that she has become a part of his inner circle.

“We became close, dear friends,” he says. “There were romance rumors all over the place, but there always are. It’s the nature of the show. When you have single people on there, there are assumptions, assumptions, and assumptions.”

Now, Chmerkovskiy is rumored to have gotten back together with Peta Murgatroyd. The pair has not confirmed the rumors as of the moment, and it appears that all three of them get along just fine as Murgatroyd, Chmerkovskiy, and Davis were photographed heading out to lunch at Gracias Madre in Anaheim on Thursday, April 2 by Just Jared.

The pro dancer says that they didn’t let any of the positive or negative publicity “undermine what they think of one another.”

“She is part of the family,” he said of Davis.

Tickets can be purchased online at SwayShow.com.

Call of Duty 2015 News, Update: Activision Releases the First Teaser, Is It Black Ops 3?

Call of Duty YOUTUBESCREENSHOT/ Call of Duty

Christian Post Report – Activision’s next Call of Duty from Treyarch will be Black Ops III as suggested by a teaser.

Game studio Treyarch will be taking over the task of bringing the next Call of Duty first-person shooter game installment project this year.

Treyarch brought the 2008 hit “World at War” and the previous “Black Ops” editions. Up to this day, it still wasn’t been duly confirmed as to what title the studio will take on next. However, strong speculations pointed out that 2015’s CoD edition will most probably be “Black Ops 3.”

Activision’s newly released teaser gives some clues. Although the video is devoid of any in-action game footage to give gamers a concrete idea of what the gameplay will be like, the end of the preview shows the Roman numerals “III,” which strongly indicates a sequel of the 2012 game.

The good news is that fans won’t have to wait too long to know more details about the upcoming game. It was indicated in the video that the world reveal of the first-person shooter will be on Sunday, April 26.

“We have Treyarch developing the game. We’ll have a larger installed base of next-gen hardware to sell into, and we believe our Q4 new release can be one of our best games yet. So we think the future is bright,” Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said previously.

Earlier reports also indicated that the game will likely be released this fall.

‘Iron Man 4’ Cast News, Update: Gwyneth Paltrow’s Miss Pepper Potts to Meet Her Demise?

Christian Post Report – Actress Gwyneth Paltrow arrives at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles

Recent casting news for the upcoming fourth installment of Marvel’s “Iron Man” indicates that franchise mainstay Gwyneth Paltrow will return once again to take on the role of Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) right hand woman and lover. However, the fourth film could be the character’s last appearance in the big screen feature.

Venture Capital Post said that Miss Potts is likely to die in “Iron Man 4.” VCP pointed out the numerous near-death incidents that the character faced, but this time her luck will run out.

“With a new and old villain rumored to be returning for the fourth franchise of the Iron Man movie, Pepper Potts lifeline might actually reached its end,” they speculated.

The last sequel, “Iron Man 3,” saw the Stark Industries CEO contracting Extremis powers after she was made a test subject by a villainous group.

Rumors pointing out to the film’s development also said that RDJ, who has been in the MCU movie franchise ever since its inception, might be ditching the “billionaire/playboy” role.

However, these speculations were proved to be untrue based on what the franchise co-star Shane Black told the press.

“There has been a lot of discussion about it: ‘Is this the last Iron Man for Robert [Downey, Jr.]?’ Something tells me that it will not be the case, and [he] will be seen in a fourth, or fifth,” he told Variety.

“Iron Man 4” film is expected to hit the theatres sometime on 2018.

‘Fear the Walking Dead’ Premiere Date, Plot Details: Executive Producer Gale Anne Hurd Shares New Details About Spinoff

Christian Post Report – The Walking Dead

The trials of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group will continue in the next season of AMC’s hit post-apocalyptic TV series “Christian Post Report – The Walking Dead.” However, the show’s upcoming spinoff series titled “Fear Christian Post Report – The Walking Dead” is already on its way to fill in the void.

Avid followers of the zombie fiction are likely to be offered some glimpses from the past prior to the “TWD” incidents.

A source told The Hollywood Reporter said that initial scripts for the “companion/prequel” series will feature a key character from the first season of the parent show.

However, it remains to be seen whether the said character will take on one of the main roles or will it merely be guest starring.

Casting news further indicates that the series, which is reported to debut this summer, will see Cliff Curtis and Kim Dickens as Sean Cabrera and Nancy Tomkins, respectively.

Sean is a teacher who has a son with his ex-wife Andrea. The father is also said to share a working and romantic relationship with Nancy at a school in Los Angeles.

The show’s executive producer Gale Anne Hurd talked about the setting.

“As a fourth-generation Angeleno, I certainly like to see it depicted how my friends, family, and colleagues would survive. Now we get an opportunity to see with a very different type of group than the type we encountered in Atlanta on Christian Post Report – The Walking Dead,” the showrunner told Enstarz.

This is in line with what series director Greg Nicotero said.

“Having the show set in Los Angeles [and] at a completely different time as walkers are beginning to take over the world … The idea, much like our show, it’s really about the relationships and about the families and how they handle it and deal with it, so it’s fascinating,” he told IB Times.

‘Castle’ Season 7 News: Last Three Episodes to Focus on Castle’s Disappearance

“Castle” Season 7 FACEBOOK/ Castle

Christian Post Report – ABC’s “Castle” Season 7

After taking quite a long break from TV, “Castle” is returning with its latest episode – Episode 20 – on April 20. Their previous episode was aired on March 30.

The crime procedural drama starring Nathan Fillion as writer Rick Castle and Stana Katic as Detective Kate Beckett is airing the last three episodes of the season and recent reports have been speculating on what the episodes will focus on.

TVLine says that the last three episodes will focus on the mysterious disappearance of Castle. At one point during the season, Castle disappeared on his wedding day, leaving Beckett and the rest of characters wondering what happened or where he went. When he returned, even he himself could not remember what happened to him.

According to the report, Beckett will seek the help of a well-known and highly intelligent psychiatrist who will help Castle bring out his “repressed memories.” It was also reported that Michael Dorn of “Star Trek” will be a guest star in finale episodes, who may likely play the role of the psychiatrist.

Another report in International Business Times mentions that Castle’s memories may lead to “deadly consequences” and it is unknown how he and Beckett will deal with these.

Other characters who are set to make an appearance in the finale episodes are the fake Jenkins, played by Matt Lescher and Phillip Bartlett, who will be played by Mackenzie Astin.

Showrunner David Amann described to TV Guide the nature of the finale episodes. He said that “a cliffhanger was shaping up.”

Aside from the season finale however, fans are also said to be anticipating a decision on the final fate of the show. Speculation is also rife about whether the series will be renewed for another season or if this will be the final season.

According to another report in International Business Times, actress Stana Katic was reported to have been sharing behind-the-scenes photos and thanking the staff and everyone involved in the series lately, leading some to think that this may in fact be the last season.

The report also mentions that lead actors Fillion and Katic do not have contracts yet. Katic in November 2014, had this to say about her character: “If the character is complete, if there is nowhere to go creatively, then I think it’s better to stop when you’re on top.”

Jordan Spieth has had a record setting three days at The Masters 2015, but on the third day he did have a few anxious moments, especially towards the final few holes. But despite a little wobble, Spieth enters Day 4 with a four shot lead over his nearest rival, and with just 18 holes remaining, he is a big favorite to take the green jacket.

Spieth’s 2 under par round of 70 on Saturday ensured that he broke the 54-hole Masters scoring record; his 16 under par of 500 besting Tiger Wood’s 15 under par set years ago.

Rose has made the final day interesting, shooting a 5 under par 67 on Day 3 to draw him just back into contention and ensuring that there will still be a degree of pressure on Spieth going into the final round.

Phil Mickelson also put on a good show in Day 3, ensuring that he enters the final round with 11 under par, and arguably is also still in the running. Mickelson will be in the next to last grouping with Charley Hoffman for Day 4.

‘Arrested Development’ Season 5 Release Date News: New Season Definitely On, Says Showrunner Brian Grazer

Christian Post Report – The TV sitcom series “Arrested Development” is getting another season, as announced by one of its Executive Producers Brian Grazer. In an interview during the SXSW, Grazer revealed that they are working on another set of episodes for another season, 17 to be exact. The interview was recently revealed via podcast.

The Variety report said that Grazer indicated the number of episodes they were working on during the interview.

“I love ‘Arrested Development,’ but it was never a huge thing. But people are loyal to it,” he said.

The Cast of Arrested Development

The show was originally shown on Fox TV for three seasons, from 2003 to 2006. The network cancelled the show because of its low ratings, but the show garnered critical acclaim for its single camera, reality TV style. In 2011, Netflix agreed to support another season of the show through its streaming service, which were aired in 2013.

After Grazer’s revelation, neither Netflix nor 20th Century Fox has confirmed the news. A 20th Century Fox representative acknowledged that “although everyone is interested in doing more episodes, we have nothing firm to announce at this time.”

In another report in The Guardian, Netflix head Ted Sarandos made a remark last year about the possible fate of series. When asked about new episodes, he remarked, “It’s just a matter of when.”

One of the show’s stars, Will Arnett had also said, “It’s going to happen, we don’t know when but it is going to happen.”

The show’s creator, Mitchell Hurwitz, who is also one of its executive producers, had recently inked a multiyear deal with Netflix to “produce, develop and create new projects” for the streaming service.

“Arrested Development” is known for launching the careers of Jason Bateman, Michael Cera and David Cera. It has received awards from the Primetime Emmys and the Golden Globes, and has been cited as one of TV’s “funniest shows of all time.”

‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Release Date, Plot Spoilers: Won’t Get a Post-Credits Scene, Says Joss Whedon

Christian Post Report – Josh Whedon has revealed to audiences that “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” won’t be featuring a post-credit scene unlike the previous films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” which is due to open at North American theaters May 1, is going a different direction than its predecessors by taking out the usual post-credits scene audiences have come to expect from a Marvel superhero movie.

Marvel head, Kevin Feige and the film’s director, Whedon were trying to come up with ways to top the epic shawarma scene that postscripted “The Avengers,” but decided to take another path based on what they felt to be true and right.

While the upcoming Marvel superhero action adventure will be dispensing with a post-credits scene, Feige told EW.com they were putting in a tag – a short epilogue-like sequence that will be appearing just after the credits begin to roll.

“And that’s not a fake-out,” Whedon clarified to EW.com. “We want people to know so they don’t sit there for 10 minutes and then go, ‘Son of a b—-! I’ll kill them!'”

Feige also discredited rumors Captain Marvel would be making an appearance in “Age of Ultron,” but did hint of a secret female character that fans may already be familiar with.

The secrets and hints have continued to roll out, including the reveal of who and what Vision really is. Marvel recently released a poster showing a full body render of Vision, one of the most important characters to have a big impact on the plot of the film. In earlier promotions of the film, Vision had only been shown in a brief millisecond during one of the trailers for the movie.

With “Avengers: Age of Ultron” just three weeks away, audiences may have to brace themselves for more surprising reveals as Marvel preps them to receive the 11th blockbuster installment from Marvel’s Cinematic Universe.

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Reviews, Plot Spoilers: First 4 Episodes Feature New Faces and Even More Exciting Scenes

Christian Post Report – HBO’s highly-anticipated fifth season of their hit fantasy series “Game of Thrones” still have days left before it premieres to the small screen. But for those who don’t seem to have the patience of a saint could learn some insights from the people who are privileged to view the first four episodes of the show.

HBO’s “Game of Thrones”

As to what these reviews suggested, it seems like fans won’t be disappointed when the TV adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” novel series airs this weekend.

Brian Lowry from Variety said in his report that the coming season will see some of the major characters coming face to face with each other.

“With apologies to a sci-fi classic, the fifth season of ‘Game of Thrones’ could easily be subtitled ‘When Worlds Collide.’ Having spent four magnificent campaigns establishing various constituencies with claims to the Iron Throne, four previewed episodes connect several of them in fascinating ways, while continuing to add new faces to an already sprawling cast,” Variety wrote.

Mike Hale from The New York Times meanwhile dished out that the show will be taking a breather from all the “slaughter and grisly murders” it featured last season.

“Deaths are at a minimum. Several central characters are on the run, but none appears likely to have his or her head imminently removed,” he reported.

For those who took to their heart the news that “GoT” Season 5 will be veering away from the book canon, Vanity Fair said that they shouldn’t worry that much as it didn’t necessarily damaged the whole story.

“Season five does, so far, feel in some ways the most well-rounded season since the first, more confident to ditch side plots that, while cherished by book fans, only serve to weigh down and distract the series,” the site said. “The slimmer, streamlined series is wholly captivating: smart and suspenseful, clever and sad.”

“Game of Thrones” Season 5 premieres this Sunday, April 12, on HBO.
