SPOILER ALERT! This story reveals plot point from the March 26 series premiere of Ride on Hallmark . It takes place on a bucolic but cash-strapped ranch that’s operated by a widowed parent who loses a beloved family member in the premiere episode — all while everyone looks straight-up sexy in their Wranglers and cowboy boots. But that’s where the similarities to Yellowstone end for Hallmark’s Ride , insists Sherri Cooper-Landsman ( Brothers and Sisters , Everwood ), who showruns the new drama about a rodeo dynasty with Rebecca Boss and Chris Masi ( Our Kind of People ). “For me, it was just this beautiful ranch setting with a family going through stuff that a family goes through,” Cooper-Landsman tells Deadline of Ride . “And to be honest, I hadn’t even watched Yellowstone, so I did not even think about that. It just was this beautiful setting and a worlds that Becky [Rebecca] really knew so well.” Ride , which is co-produced by Endeavor-backed … [Read more...] about ‘Ride’: Showrunner Sherri Cooper-Landsman On Hallmark Drama’s Similarities To ‘Yellowstone’ And Her Future With The Rodeo Series

Tango, the producer of the Sundance pic Shortcomings , is continuing to set up its future slate as it has come on to adapt the subversive rom com novel Book Lovers , into a feature film based on the #1 New York Times Bestseller from Emily Henry , the hit author behind three other New York Times Bestsellers over the last three years. Sarah Heyward is attached to write the script, which will be produced by Tango. Book Lovers tells the story of Nora, a cutthroat literary agent who, convinced by her sister to spend one August holiday in Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, keeps running into Charlie, a bookish, brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again — in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow — what they discover might just unravel the … [Read more...] about Tango To Adapt Emily Henry’s Novel ‘Book Lovers’ Into Movie

5 th UPDATE – FINAL: (See McHale and Obama videos here and here ) If last year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner with headliner Conan O’Brien was white bread bland, tonight’s event was just painful. In way way over his head, Joel McHale stumbled and sputtered through a routine that got more moans and groans from the packed Washington Hilton ballroom than laughs. With failed one-liners about runaway production, Robert De Niro ’s career choices, Jessica Simpson ’s historical knowledge, the Kardashians’ sex lives, George Clooney ’s political affiliations, Bill Clinton’s qualifications as a grandfather and a slew of other poorly conceived and badly executed jokes, the Community star left the stage after 30-minutes to weak applause from the 2,600 guests. At least he made President Obama ’s speech and his now standard swipes at cable news look good in comparison. Obama’s sharpest line of the night came courtesy of Netflix when Obama sympathized with … [Read more...] about Obama Rips Cable News & Joel McHale Bombs At White House Correspondents’ Dinner
