CSI Canceled but CSI:Cyber Gets a Second Chance

CBS is cancelling CSI after 15 seasons. There will be a TV movie in September to end the series, which will bring the return of original CSI stars William Petersen and Marg Helgenberge. However, Ted Danson is not out of a job. He'll be moving over to the new spin-off CSI Cyber.

Danson will be replacing Peter MacNicol who played FBI Assistant Director Stavros Sifter and supervisor of Special Agent Avery Ryan (Patricia Arquette.) D.B. Russell (Danson) and Special Agent Avery Ryan, already have a history together as CSI: Cyber was introduced in an episode of CSI last season.

I've already spoken about how I was disappointed in CSY Cyber. I love Patricia Arquette and I actually like Ted Danson in CSI, so my hope is that the addition of him plus the other changes (tweaks) that are expected will help improve the show.

Backstrom

I have to say there are a few cancellations that I'm disappointed about. One is Forever. I was liking that show. Constantine, I saw the writing on the wall and haven't caught up on episodes yet. I may not bother catching up now. Backstrom I was also enjoying and am disappointed that it won't be given a chance.

Assassin's Creed Movie Starts Filming in September

I really hope this movie is good. I've been playing Assassin's Creed for awhile, starting with Liberation, and have really enjoyed the few games I've played. The odds of games turned into movies turning out good are slim.

However I did enjoy the short film that was made Assassins Creed: Lineage (watch below) which takes place between games 1 and 2 and shows the
exploits of Ezio's father.

The feature film is set to begin filming in September with a release date of December 2016. It stars Michael Fassbender in the lead role with Justin Kurzel directing.
