Disney Promises There Will Be No Escaping Prince of Persia

A little-known law of studio physics dictates that money earmarked for a Jerry Bruckheimer film cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one state to another. Look no further than Disney for the latest proof of this empiricism, in which the production budget of Bruckheimer’s latest Pirates of the Caribbean film will endure a cut while the marketing budget of Prince of Persia — opening May 28 — will result in a campaign that will haunt your effing dreams .

Justified, Round Two

Even though Justified has lost approximately half of its viewers since its premiere — which was the most-watched in network history — FX is betting big on its Tim Olyphant drama by giving it another full-season order. That means that Graham Yost’s critically acclaimed project has 6 more episodes this season plus another 13 next year to pick up momentum before Sony has to begin cost-sharing conversations with DirecTV , Damages -style. Come on people, pay attention to quality.

Katee Sackhoff on 24 and the Unlikely Thrill of Being Waterboarded

Katee Sackhoff is a self-admitted thrill junkie — that’s why she was a perfect fit for the daredevil pilot Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica , and it’s what made her casting on the final season of 24 sound like a no-brainer. Still, her character Dana Walsh hasn’t always had an easy time of it; during the first half of the season, she was often stuck in a subplot involving a no-good ex-boyfriend, and it’s only recently that Sackhoff’s gotten to show off her action-packed bona fides as Dana was revealed to be this season’s obligatory, villainous mole. In advance of tonight’s episode, Movieline spoke to the always-candid actress to get her own feelings about her character’s arc and to hear about the torturous stunt she couldn’t wait to do herself.

The Verge: Steven Strait

Along with Banksy’s self-distributed Exit to the Gift Shop , City Island ‘s ongoing box office run is one of the more inspirational indie success stories of the year to date. The excellent ensemble comedy about a dysfunctional, secretive family living on the titular island just off the Bronx expanded over the weekend, crossing the $2 million threshold that few (if any) observers expected it might reach. Among the beneficiaries: Steven Strait, who stars as Tony, a convict in whom prison guard Vince (Andy Garcia) takes an unusual interest on the cusp of his parole.
