CBS Renews 'Under the Dome' and 'Extant'

Well, this is a good day for Steven Spielberg! Under the Dome and Extant, both shows executive-produced by Spielberg, have been renewed by CBS - Dome for a third season, and Extant for a second season.

Under the Dome has been a collaborative effort between author Stephen King (the series is loosely based on his novel of the same name) and Spielberg, with both acting as executive producers. Extant star Halle Berry shares co-executive producing credit with Spielberg on that series.

During its second season, Under the Dome averaged 11 million viewers in the 18-49 demographic, while Extant averaged 8.64 million. Ratings were up for the Extant season finale, so that probably helped its chances for renewal.

CBS Entertainment Chairman Nina Tassler had this to say about the decision:

“We’re committed to delivering our viewers and advertisers year-round programming with a wide variety of storytelling. We continue to see summer as a great place for unique concepts, innovative business models, and passionate television audiences.”

Both shows will return next summer.

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA. This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise.
