'The Hobbit' shortest film in the franchise; but it's still long; 'Copper' & 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' notes


Director Peter Jackson confirms the running time for the theatrical version of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is around 160 minutes (that's 2 hours and 40 minutes for some folks). And while there will be an extended edition, now that the once two picture film has become three, will those editions be as long as the ones for his The Lord of the Rings films? 

BBC America has announced their first original series, Copper, has been picked up for a second season. Meanwhile, their second original series, a clone style mystery series Orphan Black is currently filming in Toronto and is expected to air some time in 2013.

Actress Ming-Na Wen has joined the cast of ABC's The Avengers spin-off series S.H.I.E.L.D. as Agent Melinda May, a kick-ass pilot and weapons expert.
