AMC Networks has renewed the Emmy-nominated short-form series “Cooper’s Bar” for a second season, while Acorn TV — AMC Networks’ streamer devoted to British and international fare — has given a Season 2 renewal to “Harry Wild,” starring and executive produced by Jane Seymour.
Both pickups were announced Wednesday during AMC Networks’ portion of the Television Critics Assn. press tour.
“Cooper’s Bar” is nominated this year at the Emmys for outstanding actress in a short form comedy or drama series, for Rhea Seehorn (who stars and also directed Season 1). According to AMC, the short-form digital series has already generated nearly four million views on a variety of platforms including AMC+, AMC.com, video on demand and the company’s Facebook, Instagram and YouTube feeds, since its spring launch.

(Warning: This post contains major spoilers for the finale of “Dispatches From Elsewhere.”)
As the spooky, surprise-filled ride that was Jason Segel’s “Dispatches From Elsewhere” came to an end for viewers last month with a finale that actually incorporated some of those viewers. The final moments of the AMC series closed with a compilation of more than 100 self-recorded videos featuring people saying a crucial line from the show: “I am [insert name here], and I am you.”
Now the way Segel and the “Dispatches” team got these clips — made by people who did not originally know that they were going to be used in the show — was in true “Dispatches” fashion: through an alternate reality game (Arg).
“From when the show was greenlit, Jason already had this in his head that he wanted to sort of share the experience that he had when he came up with the show when he first encountered this game,...

I’m pretty much going to watch any film called “Knights of Badassdom”. I just am, and probably if you are reading this, you would too. I’m absolutely astounded at how the social stereotypes are melding together little by little, and this film is definitely a testament to that. Remember being the weird kid and only having a handful of equally weird, but loyal friends. That definitely was me, and I couldn’t see it then, but I pretty much had it made.

Larping (or Live Action Role Playing) is subcultural phenomenon that is continuing to gain notoriety. For some it is a way of life, while for others they are not sure what language the word Larping originates from. Larping has had some cinematic spotlight in the past including the documentary Darkon and probably most infamously in the Paul Rudd & Seann William Scott comedy Role Models. However, director Joe Lynch takes his film Knights of Badassdom in an entirely different direction.
Knights of Badassdom asks the question of what happens when you take real life pretend fantasy and add true demonic forces. Based on the premise and cast the potential is rich with uniqueness. This could easily be in the same vein as films like Evil Dead, Cabin in the Woods,...

It takes a lot of skill, creativity, and good humor to combine geek culture, broad humor, low-budget action scenes, and a big splash of horror mayhem -- and have your movie turn out to be a success. Doubly so when your movie has been sitting on a shelf for a year after suffering through some ugly and well-documented post-production trauma. But given the tone, the trouble, and the multi-genre-style weirdness behind the clunky but energetic Knights of Badassdom, it's pretty amazing that the final product is actually halfway entertaining.
Much of the praise goes to an eclectic ensemble that seems to know how to strike the right tone between poking fun at the "Live Action Role Playing" community and just being mean-spirited. Ryan Kwanten is an affable wannabe rock star who (against his will) joins his pals Eric (Steve Zahn) and Hung (Peter Dinklage) for a long weekend of huge...

The marketing team working on Entertainment One’s upcoming fantasy comedy Knights of Badassdom have a truly unenviable job to do. Barring the atrocious amount of delays that the film has faced, which have put it more than two years away from its first trailers, Knights of Badassdom‘s nerd-bait story heavily features LARPing (live-action role-playing), which might sound like an appealing concept for a feature-length comedy to a grand total of five people.
And so, the first official poster for the film, which you can check out below, focuses more on the film’s star-studded cast than its unconventional storyline. Unfortunately, it also features eye-gouging misuse of Photoshop, cheap-looking fire effects and a completely cringe-worthy tagline. If you feel like lamenting the declining quality of movie posters, take a look below:

Just before Christmas last year, a new teaser debuted promising the release of the fantasy comedy Knights of Badassdom. The long delay of the film will likely only be a benefit since Peter Dinklage has a much high profile now thanks to "Game of Thrones." But what's not helping is this disaster of a poster trying to hype people up for the film hitting limited theaters on January 21st and VOD next month. It's symmetrical, which is fine, but the rest of the shoddy Photoshop job with characters cropped and pasted onto fire is lazy, fitting right in with that video about the deteriorating quality of movie posters we just tossed up. Look now! Here's the first poster for Joe Lynch's Knights of Badassdom from IGN: Knights of Badassdom directed by up-and-coming American indie filmmaker Joe Lynch (@TheJoeLynch on Twitter), who previously has only directed Wrong Turn 2: Dead End.

The first trailer for LARPing horror/comedy Knights of Badassdom has finally premiered after much anticipation from the fanboy community.
I can see why people are excited about this film. It's got a strong cast in Steve Zahn, True Blood's Ryan Kwanten and Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage. It also fills its sexy-geek-girl quota nicely with the inclusion of Summer Glau. But a movie about live-action role players who wind-up dealing with the fantasy in reality just doesn't feel original enough to get excited about for me. It just feels obvious and it's certainly been done before. I'm also getting flashbacks to Your Highness -- hardly a watershed of comic fantasy.
Word from the film's Comic Con panel is that the film is much more violent and foul-mouthed than perhaps this trailer lets on. That in itself does not equal a good film, so it's really going to...

The horror comedy Knights of Badassdom has a new trailer, which was recently released at the San Diego Comic Con. The film stars Steve Zahn, Peter Dinklage, and Summer Glau, in a film set in the Larp universe. Of course, Larp stands for Live Action Role Playing and the film looks like a page out of medieval times.
In the clip, a Larp showdown turns dangerous when Eric (Zahn) releases a succubus during his make believe spellcasting. Then friends die and Eric must make right that which is truly evil and wrong. Have a look at the clip inside, with Knights of Badassdom likely to release later in 2011.

"You have the ordinary guy thrown into an absolutely extraordinary situation and then an even more extraordinary situation comes into play when monsters have to be dealt with. The fake heroes are forced to become real heroes," says director Joe Lynch, sitting at a table littered with harmless, soft medieval weaponry and a nefarious, meticulously crafted, prop spell book. These are all items from his latest film Knights of Badassdom and he has met Shock, along with some other journalists, in Hollywood to offer us a preview of what's to come. The film, written by Matt Wall and Kevin Dreyfuss, concerns a recently dumped 30-something named Joe ( True Blood 's Ryan Kwanten) who tags along with his pal for a weekend of LARPing (Live Action Role Playing) to get his mind off...

Way back at Frightfest 2009 news broke that Joe Lynch was going to be working on a new film, incredibly entitled Knights of Badassdom.
It was John Landis who ‘announced’ it on stage and explained how the script had originally been brought to him but deciding it wasn’t right for him, he recommended Lynch.
Lynch actually described the tone of Knights of Badassdom as “very much, An American Werewolf in London”.
A year has passed since then and this summer Lynch shot the film in Spokane and is currently immersed in editing it.
Although there have been no posters or trailers yet (the kind of things that normally get people excited) anticipation is beginning to build around this film and potentially rightly so as this really could be great and here are five reasons why.

Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2) is hard at work on his follow up called Knights of Badassdom. We've posted a few treats and images here and there but today we have a good one for you that I call a "Head shot" no pun intended courtesy of Lynch's daily blog.
Kob stars Summer Glau, Peter Dinklage, Ryan Kwanten, Steve Zahn, and Danny Pudi with a script by Kevin Dreyfuss. This is going to be a fun film!
Synopsis:
"After being dumped by his sexy girlfriend Beth, Joe (Kwanten) reluctantly decides to join Eric (Zahn) and his LARPing (Live Action Role Players) friends in the woods rather than stay behind and feel sorry for his newly single status. There he meets hot, ass-kicking, intimidating LARPer Gwen (Glau), and finds himself plunged into a surreal adventure wilder than he ever imagined when a make-believe wizard casts an all-too-real spell from an ancient book.

While in town promoting his hit comedy "Community", actor Danny Pudi offered a little bit of insight in terms of what to expect from Joe Lynch's upcoming The Knights of Badassdom.
"It starts off really fun and comedic, but things get very serious. It has a Lord of the Rings-ish, epic feel. [My character named Lando is] "a bit of a weasel. Everyone else will be fighting, confronting people, but Lando will be hiding." Pudi went on to talk about Spectral Motion's physical creature F/X. "It's very real, very gross, very scary. It's so cool looking."
In addition to Pudi The Knights of Badassdom stars Summer Glau, Peter Dinklage, Ryan Kwanten, and Steve Zahn. The flick follows the exploits of a group of LARPers (Live Action Role Players) who accidentally release a big badass demon.

I'm reeeeeally looking forward to the Joe Lynch film "The Knights Of Badassdom," written by Matt Wall and Kevin Dreyfuss. I bring it up because there's a similarity to the basic concept of that film and the next film that Dustin Hucks is reviewing for us from the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. See if you agree. The Joe Lynch film deals with a group of role-players who are on a weekend excursion when one of them accidentally calls up a real demon, forcing them to have to live the roles that they've all been playing, and either kill or be killed. ...
