'Tim Rex in Space' to premiere Aug. 4 on Nickelodeon
The series, a co-production with Channel 5's Milkshake!, "follows a Tyrannosaurus Rex named Tim, his big brother Tommy, little sister Tia and triceratops bestie Kai, as they tackle kid-shaped adventures with dino-sized solutions in space," the official synopsis reads.
The voice cast for the series features Cassian Swan-Mckee, Ace Gill, Hope Delaney, Jamie Smart, Stephen Alan Yorke, Nim Miller, Sophia Nomvete, Jessica Robinson, Alex Carter and Lorraine Bruce.
"Tim and his family live in a unique world comprised of a cluster of asteroids that make up the town of Rumbleton -- a quintessential 21st century suburban town, with each asteroid hosting family homes, cafés, shops, parks and even a beach. All asteroids are connected by a network of slides, ziplines and trampolines, but can also easily be reached on a quick rocket ride," the network said.
Tim Rex in Space, created and produced by Mint Copenhagen will premiere Aug. 4 at 9:30 a.m. EDT on Nickelodeon, with an encore presentation at 6:30 p.m. on the Nick Jr. channel.

Pierce Brosnan: 'Thursday Murder Club' has 'lots of heart'
1 of 3 | Pierce Brosnan arrives on the red carpet at the New York premiere of "MobLand" in March. He also stars in "Thursday Murder Club." File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo Aug. 12 (UPI) -- Pierce Brosnan says his upcoming film Thursday Murder Club is "a hoot" with "lots of heart." The actor, 72, and co-star Helen Mirren, 80, stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday. The feature, which arrives on Netflix Aug. 28, follows retirees Elizabeth (Mirren), Ibrahim (Ben Kingsley), Ron (Brosnan) and Joyce (Celia Imrie) as they attempt to solve a murder related to their community. "It's delightful, it's a hoot. It's got lots of heart, and great cast. I mean, it's an ensemble piece really," Brosnan said of the film. "Hit the ground running on the very first day and we just sat around and had lovely, lovely cups of tea and then did a bit of acting." Mirren added that they all "kind of knew each other" prior to the movie. "It was like the coming together of a group of people who'd been to college together or something," she told Fallon. Chris Columbus, well known for his work on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, directs the movie, and Naomi Ackie, Daniel Mays, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Tom Ellis, Jonathan Pryce, David Tennant, Paul Freeman, Geoff Bell, Richard E. Grant and Ingrid Oliver also star.

'Alien: Earth' star Timothy Olyphant: Scary AI tech is on our doorstep
NEW YORK, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Justified and Deadwood icon Timothy Olyphant says playing the synthetic Kirsh on Alien: Earth made him realize just how fast artificial intelligence technology is advancing in the real world. "You can get [news] articles read by AI. It has gotten so good so quickly, those voices, where, in the beginning, you could tell there was an odd rhythm to them, and I remember thinking, 'Oh, so, this really is a thing where there could just be people around that aren't human and appear human in almost every way, that we probably don't have to dress it up much [for the show],'" Olyphant told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "But it never occurred to me, the idea of putting people's brains and memories into synthetic bodies was on our doorstep and it appears as though it might be on our doorstep," he laughed. "And that's really quite shocking." Premiering Tuesday on Hulu and FX in North America, and Disney+ internationally, the eight-episode series was created by Noah Hawley and takes place two years before the events of the 1979 sci-fi classic Alien, in a universe where corporations are more powerful than countries. Olyphant stars as Kirsh, a synthetic at Prodigy's futuristic Neverland Research Island facility, where a group of humanoid robots with human consciousness are charged with finding and neutralizing the terrifying monsters who escape a spaceship crash on Earth. The ensemble includes Sydney Chandler, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis and David Rysdahl. "Well, it feels like he appears to be some kind of mentor. Chief scientist, I think, is his official title," Olyphant said about Kirsh. "I'm also just not sure you can trust him." At the end of the first episode, Kirsh delivers a chilling speech in which he warns about humans' precarious places in the food chain. "It was just a great piece of writing," Olyphant said. "I always tell Noah he could gift wrap those pages before he sends them to me," he added. "It's fun to get that material in your inbox and it makes memorizing the lines just really enjoyable. Just rehearsing it is fun. By the time you show up on set, it's kind of playtime and just working off of Sydney and that was easy." Into the Badlands alum Ceesay plays Morrow, a cyborg security officer who was onboard the Weyland-Yutani ship that crashes and isn't initially forthcoming about what the vessel was transporting. "He's got trauma. He's got a vision in his head for what his life is going to mean and be," Ceesay said. "In terms of trying to get into that, as Tim said, it's just the writing is so incredible," he said. "You just turn up and play the scene and work with the other actor." The Witcher and Peaky Blinders actor Blenkin described his character Boy Kavalier as a "horrible, horrible man who is the CEO of Prodigy Corporation, which is one of the newest of the five companies that rule the Earth." "Governments? Don't need those. It's companies now. He sees himself as a rule breaker. Not just a competitor, but the person who is going to absolutely change the world," Blenkin said. "He is one of those people who, no matter how stupid the idea is, no matter how insane the choice is, he's convinced it's the best for humanity because he's the most intelligent person on the planet," he added. "It was really fun to play somebody with that kind of blind ego." Blenkin said Hawley's writing blends the character's mixed motivations of power and discovery. "There's a little bit of both of those things at play and, as the season goes on, I think what happens is that the deeper, darker emotional motivations of what drives those people starts to get revealed," he added. "It's a great arc for a character." Asked by UPI at a separate virtual press conference if the stars felt like filming together in Thailand, away from their loved ones, made them closer as a cast, Olyphant replied: "It was a special one, special place. Good time on set. Good time off the set. Really. The people in front of the camera, the people behind the camera. This was a good one." Lawther, who plays human soldier and medic Hermit, agreed. "It did bond us as a cast. I think for most of us, it was our first time in Thailand. We were there for longer than six months in the end," he said. "Although we were far away from home, we were really welcomed. It was a quite extraordinary host country to be working in." The country's heat and humidity also influenced the show's story-lines and actors' performances, Lawther added. "There's a lot of sweat in this show and that's, in part, thanks to the makeup department. But I'm sure a good 50 percent of that has to do with the 90 percent humidity of Thailand's climate. Then we had the quite extraordinary outdoor locations in Krabi and the jungle on the water, which lends itself to visually something quite dramatic." Blenkin also noted that the show depicts a version of Earth where humans are "fighting humidity at every moment." "So, you've got these fantastic figures who are kind of cleaning mold off the surface of the facility," Blenkin said. "There's this feeling that there's a rot at the center of this that's not really going to go away, which I feel like is a really interesting parallel to the themes of the series," Blenkin added. "And, obviously, the humidity in Thailand made that feel very real. There wasn't much acting required." Ceesay called Thailand one of his favorite places on Earth. "I had the privilege of having my family there, as well. But we did develop incredible bonds because you're far away from home," he said. "You're all together in one place. It's not often that you enjoy yourself so much on set and working, but that you also have such a phenomenal group of people outside of it." Solve the daily Crossword

Pusha T Reacts To Hunter Biden's Explanation Of Cocaine Vs Crack
One of the first things people come up with when discussing Pusha T is selling or rapping about cocaine. Thus, it came as no surprise that he was drawn to Hunter Biden's explanation on the difference between cocaine and crack. The former President's son appeared on Channel 5 this week and explained the distinction between the drugs. 'The only difference between crack cocaine and cocaine is sodium bicarbonate and water and heat,' he said, before admitting he didn't want to rile himself up after previously experiencing crack addiction. 'I feel really reluctant to kind of have some euphoric discussion. I know you're not asking me to do that… I'm saying, I don't want to have the experience of some euphoric recall. That's how powerful crack cocaine is.' He continued, explaining crack's effects and comparing it to liquor. 'Does crack cocaine make you act any differently? No. Is it safer than alcohol? Probably,' he added. 'People think of crack being dirty. It's the exact opposite. When you make crack, what you're doing is you're burning off all the impurities so that it combines with the sodium bicarbonate which makes it smokable. That's all.' Biden closed by calling his explanation a PSA. 'If you want to completely utterly f**k up your life,' he said. 'You know, I don't think that anything is necessarily, 'Oh, you do it once, you're addicted,' but there's…about the closest thing that statement could be true would [for] be with crack cocaine.' King Push caught wind of the explanation via X, quoted the tweet, and wrote 'Deep…' Of course, his entire career has been centered on luxury drug rap, so this type of in-depth explanation from someone else would draw him in. The Virginia rapper recently had words for those who felt like he and his brother Malice, who together form Clipse, only rap about drugs. 'Rap has always come from a real place,' he said during an interview on Joe & Jada. 'At this point, I liken it to somebody that likes mob movies. I don't watch horror, I watch A&E it's scarier, I believe it. You can't please everybody. Twenty-three years in this? I'm not tryna please nobody but myself. That's what I care about.'
