Zach Braff fans, get ready to cheer. Zach Braff haters, get ready to hate.
The first trailer for "Wish I Was Here" has hit, and if Braff wanted us to see his new film as a true follow-up to "Garden State," then this is the perfect trailer for it. It has all the elements: Wide, static shots composed with the occasional immobile human body, cryptic lines about being a unique individual.

Fire up your engines: Universal Studios is making a "Fast & Furious" ride!
The Hollywood location of the Universal Studios theme park has just announced a new addition, based on the popular movie franchise. And, of course, it's timed out with the release of the new movie.
The thrill ride, which is named "Fast & Furious: Supercharged," won't be putting fans in the driver's seat of any fancy sports cars, though.

This just in from the We Saw It Coming newsdesk: "Game of Thrones" has been renewed!
In fact, HBO was so happy with the season four premiere of the show that it renewed the fantasy epic for two more season, setting it up to run through season six and into the year 2016, for now.
Given the popularity of the show, there was no doubt that HBO would be giving "Thrones" a renewal; but with the ratings from Sunday in, the network had to be especially happy.

Hollywood has lost a true legend, as character actor Mickey Rooney passed away Sunday.
Rooney is one of the most prolific actors in Hollywood history, with a grand total of 340 acting credits listed on his IMDB page. Even then, that doesn't begin to chronicle his entire career, which started with his family's vaudeville act and consequently also included a number of stage and radio roles.
