'Teen Wolf' 4.07 Sneak Peeks: Deadly Diseases Strikes the School
Danger seems to be following Scott and the gang everywhere. This time, it's not a supernatural being that threatens their lives, but a harmful disease. In a clip for the next episode of "Teen Wolf", Lydia's mom, the new science teacher at Beacon Hills High, is the first to find out about the mysterious diseases that strikes the school.
She finds scary rash on the back of lacrosse coach, Coach Feinstock, who has slumped motionlessly on the table. She tells the students to stay in the room and locks the door so that no one outside can enter the building. She calls CDC for help, leading Scott to get suspicious of what is really going on.
Meanwhile, a preview for the same outing reveals that the authorities will take the necessary measures to handle the issue. It appears that Scott, Stiles and Malia are infected by the disease, but Lydia is safe outside the building. She, however, tells Sheriff Stilinski that someone will die from this outbreak. Another scene sees someone pointing a gun to Stiles' head.
"Weaponized" will air Monday, August 8 at 10 P.M. on MTV. It's unclear if the disease is a weapon used by The Benefactor to kill those on the dead pool.
"Teen Wolf" was recently renewed for a 20-episode season 5, eight more episodes than the current season 4 order.

Channing Tatum Will Take Hiatus From Acting to Focus on Directorial Debut
Channing Tatum has become one of Hollywood's most tireless actors throughout this year by starring in at least five successful films, including "The Vow", "21 Jump Street" and "Magic Mike". Though he still has a number of movies waiting to be released in 2013, Tatum admits that he's planning to take a break from acting next year to focus on his attempt to make his directorial debut.
The husband of Jenna Dewan shares to Entertainment Weekly that he and his production partner, Reid Carolin, are planning to put their focus on finding a suitable project for his first directorial effort in 2013. "[Reid and I] have about three to four ideas that we love that are all in the hopper," so says the "10 Years" star.
Of his plan to take a pause from acting, the 32-year-old actor says, "By the end of the year, we're going to shut down and write the first thing that we're going to direct. We're going to be like, alright, no more acting parts for a minute, let's take a few and really get caring about that section of our career." The actor has been eyeing a "Magic Mike" sequel and an Evel Knievel biopic with Carolin.
"I love the steps that I've taken acting-wise," the Alabama-born actor, who has recently been named the 2012 Sexiest Man Alive by PEOPLE, goes on sharing. "But I don't want to just keep putting [directing] off for these fun and incredible opportunities."
Tatum might not have a film education background, but he believes he could helm a film by learning from acclaimed filmmakers, including his "Magic Mike" director Steven Soderbergh. "I don't think Reid and I would have the balls to try to make a movie without learning what we did from Soderbergh and [assistant director] Greg Jacobs," he says.
"It was like a crazy crash course Cliff Notes on directing and how to make movies, literally get them done," he adds. "We had a Matrix-style download, like a plug in the back of the head and bloop! I know Kung Fu now."
For next year, Tatum still has some of his movies lining up to be released. They include the delayed "G.I. Joe: Retaliation", the Presidential-themed actioner "White House Down" and the true story drama "Foxcatcher". Also, he'll be reuniting with Soderbergh in medical thriller "Side Effects".

Chris and Liam Hemsworth to Star Together in Steve McQueen Biopic
One of Hollywood's hottest siblings, Chris Hemsworth and Liam Hemsworth,
might end up sharing screens together in one movie. According to The
Film Stage, Chris is eyed to star in a Steve McQueen biopic called "Triumph AKA 40 Summers Ago", in which his little brother is attached to star.
It's unclear what role the Australian brother duo will tackle in the
biopic about the late "Sand Pebbles" actor. The project still hasn't
found its helmer, but Brandon and Philip Murphy are set to pen the
script, which revolves around Steve McQueen's relationship with his
stunt double Bud Elkins.
A rival McQueen biopic is also developed with Chris' "The Avengers" co-star, Jeremy Renner, taking the lead role. The untitled Steve McQueen Biopic has Ivan Zacharias serving as the director and James Gray penning the script.
"Triumph AKA 40 Summers Ago" won't likely be the only new upcoming project for Chris Hemworth. The "Thor" star, who's recently turned down the offer to star in "American Assassin", has been tapped to join Stephen Gaghan's high-end crime thriller project "Candy Store".
The project has attracted the interests of a number of A-listers, including Brad Pitt and Christoph Waltz. The likes of Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Bradley Cooper are reportedly also circling the thriller.
"Candy Store" follows an elite, deep-cover operative who loses
everything, ultimately disappearing into Brooklyn, where he must start
again. He winds up as a beat up cop, only to discover the global
organization he was dedicated to fighting is operating in his new
backyard. No start date has been set for the project.

'Lincoln' Releases New Clips on Election Day
"Lincoln" unleashes some new clips just in time for the U.S. presidential election on Tuesday, November 6. One of the sneak peeks sees Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Robert Todd Lincoln arguing with his father Abe (Daniel Day-Lewis)
about some political issues, but the iconic president doesn't seem to
really pay attention to his son as he's more concerned about polishing
his shoes. There's also a clip that sees Sally Field's Mary Todd Lincoln during her first meeting with Radical Republican Congressional leader Thaddeus Stevens (Tommy Lee Jones) at a formal party. The other snippet, meanwhile, focuses on Abe as he shares some of his ideas about equality to two young men at his office.
"Lincoln" focuses on Abe's tumultuous final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds of change, he pursues a course of action designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish slavery. The movie is slated for a November 9 release in limited U.S. theaters.
Though some people suggest Steven Spielberg decided to release the film on November 9 to hype up today's politics, the veteran filmmaker insisted that his movie had nothing to do with Barack Obama and Mitt Romney's race to the White House. "People say, 'Oh, you made it because what's happening in politics today!' It has nothing to do with the current politics," he claimed.
"It has nothing to do with holding a mirror up to the way we conduct our business on Capitol Hill today." He elaborated further, "This was meant to be a Lincoln portrait, if you will. I think anytime is the right time for a really compelling story."

Kristen Stewart on Finishing 'Twilight Saga': It's Fleetingly Sad
After bringing Bella Swan to life in all five "Twilight Saga" movies, Kristen Stewart
finds it overwhelming to finally have to say goodbye to the film
franchise that has helped boost her career. Admitting to having mixed
feelings over it, Kristen says that finishing up the famous vampire
series is both liberating and sad for her. "Both. Fleetingly sad and maybe then once or twice after," the Los Angeles native tells Total Film when discussing "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part II". She adds, "Like when you suddenly smell something that reminds you of being on set. But it's not sad in between those moments, because I feel like no stone was left unturned."
The "On the Road" actress further claims that she's ready to bid farewell to the series and she's fine with it. "Everyone thinks it's hard to say goodbye, but it's harder to say goodbye to crews and casts that I've only spent five weeks with. This was four years," she says before adding, "I'm ready to say goodbye. I'm perfectly fine."
"Once the story has been told, you feel like you've done all you can do," the brunette beauty goes on sharing. "It's pretty easy to walk away. It's not like it's going anywhere. This one's mine, forever."
Kristen will reprise the role of Bella for the last time in "Breaking Dawn II", which will open Stateside on November 16. It will take place after the birth of Bella and Edward's daughter Renesmee. The couple must now face a perilous chain of events that pits the Cullens and their allies against the Volturi, which is the fearsome council of vampire leaders.

'Taken 3' Will Be Coming, Scribe Says
"Taken" could spawn another new installment following the success of "Taken 2".
Robert Mark Kamen, who provided the scripts for the first and second
film, has just revealed that they plan to make "Taken 3". "We didn't start talking about ['Taken 3'] until we saw the numbers," says Kamen, referring to cume that the recently-released sequel has grossed. "But then we said, 'Oh, okay. I think we should do a third one.' And Fox wants us to do a third one."
While the first film sees Bryan Mills' (Liam Neeson) daughter being kidnapped and the second film follows Bryan and his wife who are taken hostage, Kamen hints that "Taken" 3 will present something different. "We've taken everyone we can take - it's going to go in another direction," he gushes, before claiming, "Should be interesting."
The first "Taken" film, which was released in 2009, took in $145 million domestically and $81.8 million overseas. The sequel, meanwhile, debuted at No. 1 on box office in its first week with an opening gross of $49.5 million.
In addition to a third "Taken" film, Mark Kamen has a remake to 1988's "Bloodsport" on his plate. Though Jean-Claude Van Damme who starred in the original film has expressed interest to join the reboot, the screenwriter insists, "There's a whole bunch of depth to it, and it has nothing to do with the original Bloodsport except for the title."
"You have Philip Noyce directing. It's a politically-driven character piece with a bunch of fighting in Brazil," he continues sharing. "There's the issue of the rainforest being destroyed. And then there's the larger issue of this country misconducting itself through two wars. And there's all of that dealt with. It's big action movie entertainment that is very politically based."
Kamen further hints that the "Bloodsport" remake won't necessarily feature a hunky actor in the lead role. "[They're not looking for] someone with muscles, strangely. It's a different story. Not driven by fighting," he insists.

Chris Hemsworth Talks Realistic 'Thor 2' and Rivalry With Brother Liam
In between his busy schedule of filming "Thor: The Dark World", Chris Hemsworth took some time to discuss what to expect from the second God of Thunder movie. Speaking to Hong Kong's Prestige, the Australian hunk dished on how new director Alan Taylor affected the tone of the sequel.Chris admitted that he couldn't be happier to work with the "Game of Thrones" helmer for "Thor 2". He gushed, "I love the way he adds an incredibly organic element to the fantastical world of Thrones, and I think that's what Thor could benefit from."
Thanks to Alan, Chris said that the "Thor" sequel would be more realistic than the first film. "It's grounded in reality, no matter how mythical or science-fiction-like it becomes," he explained. "There's a truth to it all. Certainly, working with him now, you can see he doesn't want Thor or the Asgardians to seem like some distant race or god-like. He still wants them to be relatable."
During the chat, the husband of Elsa Pataky weighed in on his rivalry with brother Liam Hemsworth, who apparently also auditioned for the part of Thor. "It was never at the same time and, to be honest, we've auditioned for a lot of different things and a lot of the same parts over the years," he recalled.
"That [time] was strange because it came right down to the wire. I was no longer involved in the audition process - I was set aside. It was Liam or a couple of other guys who were going to get it, so I was helping him run through the stuff. Then I got a call, and suddenly I was back in it and Liam was helping me! So it was a bit of a team effort."
Chris admitted that he and Liam as well as brother Luke Hemsworth never had any tough competition as fellow actors. "No, we have a healthily competitive relationship in everything - as brothers do," he claimed.
"Whereas with [acting], all three of us are so aware of the instability of it all and how much is up to chance," he continued. "It's far more of a supportive relationship [we have in acting] than backyard football, or surfing, or whatever else we do in our free time."
Chris will reprise his role as Thor in the sequel which is projected to arrive in the U.S. cinemas on November 8, 2013. He will be joined by Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Kat Dennings, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, Stellan Skarsgard, Zachary Levi, Ray Stevenson, Jaimie Alexander and Christopher Eccleston.

The highly-anticipated sci-fi movie also stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg and John Cho. It is set for a May 17, 2013 release Stateside.
