Tom Hanks' "Electric City" Animated Web Series to Launch on July 17, 2012



Yahoo! has announced that Playtone and Reliance Entertainment's Electric City animated series will be premiering on July 17, 2012, with the first ten 5-7 minute episodes going live on that date. The series was created by Tom Hanks, who stars along with Jeanne Tripplehorn, Holland Taylor, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Antoon, Chris Parnell, Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael and Georg Stanford Brown. The series focuses on the seams and cracks in the facade of the urban utopia of Electric City, which stands for peace and order in a dystopian future world.

Sony Drops First Trailer for Angels and Demons

It's not even Friday yet, but already the good folks at Sony Pictures are rewarding us for a long work week. Sony released the teaser trailer this morning for Angels and Demons, the followup to Dan Brown's highly successful book/movie The Da Vinci Code.

At first glance, the biggest improvement over the original movie is the subtraction of star Tom Hanks' mullet which was a major distraction in The Da Vinci Code. Also in this trailer is the first glance of Ewan McGregor as Carlo Ventresca, the Camerlengo of the Vatican Church.

You can view a high quality version on the movie's official site or simply watch the YouTube version.

Angels and Demons will debut in theaters on May 15, 2009.
