NBC will air tonight “Mockingbird Lane,” a Halloween special that was at one time meant to be a TV series reboot of the ’60s sitcom “The Munsters” from executive producers Bryan Singer (X-Men) and Bryan Fuller (”Pushing Daisies).

The two Bryans didn’t see eye-to-eye on the visual style of the series pilot, which was written by Fuller and directed by Singer. Fuller and NBC executives also had some creative differences they couldn’t get over and most likely wouldn’t have due to Fuller’s commitment to NBC’s “Hannibal” series.

“Mockingbird Lane” follows the Munsters as they purchase the Victorian mansion at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Jerry O’Connell plays Herman, Portia de Rossi is his wife Lily (pictured above), Eddie Izzard is Grandpa, Mason Cook is Eddie and Charity Wakefield is “homely” cousin Marilyn.

Peep some BTS:

Actress Ming-Na Wen is the first female lead to be cast in Joss Whedon and Marvel Entertainment’s eagerly anticipated ABC series “S.H.I.E.L.D.” The show is based on the secret military agency run by Nick Fury in the Marvel Comics Universe.

Whedon will direct the pilot from a script written by Whedon, his brother Jed Whedon and Jed’s wife Maurissa Tancharoen. Wen will play Agent Melinda May, an emotionally unstable pilot and weapons expert.

Wen, of course, is best known for starring on one of NBC’s biggest and most influential programs: “The Single Guy.” She played Trudy Sloan, wife to Jonathan Silverman’s best friend on the show… OK, I’m semi-kidding. Ming-Na is best known for playing Dr. Jing-Mei Chen on “ER.”

Genre fans will also recognize the still hot at 48 starlet from her recurring roles on the Syfy series “Eureka” and “Stargate Universe,” and parts on Screen Gems Prom Night remake and Summit Entertainment’s sci-fi thriller Push.

Sony Pictures has released a gory red-band trailer for Ghost House Pictures upcoming reboot of Sam Raimi’s beloved 1981 classic The Evil Dead. Jane Levy (“Suburgatory”) plays one of five friends who awaken an evil force after reading from the Book of the Dead while stranded at a cabin in  the woods.

Fede Alverez, the aspiring Uruguayan filmmaker who caught Raimi’s attention with an ambitious four-minute-plus short titled Panic Attack, is directing the remake from his own script, punched up by Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body).

They had me at tree-rape. Peep it:

Empires of the Deep is an underwater sci-fi epic produced by a Chinese real estate mogul and aspiring screenwriter for $130 million in the hopes that it would make his penis taste bigger to white women. The end result is a stoner classic to be appreciated for years to come.

Directed by some guy named Michael French, Empires of the Deep stars Quantum of Solace Bond girl Olga Kurylenko. The 32-year-old French stunner can currently be seen in CBS Films’ Seven Psychopaths, and will star opposite Tom Cruise in Universal Pictures’ sci-fi thriller Oblivion.

Puff and peep the Empires of the Deep:

The first trailer for Marvel Studios Iron Man 3 is now available online. Directed and written by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), the new entry in the blockbuster franchise finds Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) plagued by nightmares and made homeless by a Chinese villain known as the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley).

Needless to say, he ain’t cracking wise like he used to.

Peep it:

Shailene Woodley (“Secret Life of the American Teenager”) has been cast as Mary Jane Watson in Columbia Pictures and Marvel Entertainment’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. She joins returning players Andrew Garfield (Spider-Man) and Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) in the Marc Webb-rebooted franchise.

According to THR, the Mary Jane role is small, but sets up a bigger part of the story for the trilogy’s conclusion, which is based on Marvel Comics infamous two-issue story by Gerry Conway titled “The Night Gwen Stacy Died.”

Woodley is best known for playing lead Amy Juergens on ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” and starring as George Clooney’s daughter in the Academy Award-winning dramedy The Descendants (Best Adapted Screenplay).

While she may have the acting chomps to play Mary Jane, Woodley still lacks the unique talents Kirsten Dunst brought to the role of Mary Jane in Sam Raimi’s Spiderman trilogy. Can she really fill Dunst’s shirt shoes?

If you’re not familiar with starlet Aoi’s work, you’ve got a month to catch up on her critically acclaimed classics Wife Violated in Front of Her Husband, Sora Will Relieve You Greatly, Big Dick PakoPako, Bodily Fluids Mingling, and the painful-sounding Staggering Facial Ejaculation.

Open Road has dropped a trailer for the Marlon Wayan’s penned horror spoof A Haunted House, a send-up of found-footage flicks such as Paranormal Activity and The Devil Inside. Wayans stars with Essence Atkins (“Are We There Yet?”), Nick Swardson (“Reno 911”) and Cedric the Entertainer.

The film’s synopsis reads:

A Haunted House features young couple Malcolm (Wayans) and Kisha (Atkins) who have just moved into their dream house. As they settle in, they quickly find they’re not alone.

Malcolm hires everyone from a priest to modern day ghostbusters to rid her of this unwelcome intruder, determined not to let the evil spirit ruin his relationship… or, more importantly, his sex life.

But it’s not the house that’s haunted, it’s Malcolm’s girlfriend who is possessed by a demon.
