GALLERY: 'Friday Night Lights' Stars Ready For Their Close-Ups
If you're like us, you love the holiday season, but kinda wish you could spend it in Dillon, Texas, with the Taylor family.
Actually, this year, you almost can. Coach himself, Kyle Chandler, stars in "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty," while Mrs. Coach Connie Britton graces the big screen in "The Fitzgerald Family Christmas." As for the young-uns, you've probably already caught Tyra Collette (Adrianne Palicki) in theaters in "Red Dawn" and might want to make a date to see Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford) in "In Our Nature" this month.
In fact, why wait to get a good look at them? We figured it was time to pay homage to the (incredibly attractive) cast of "Friday Night Lights" as they're about to see their names in lights for real. And, thus, we were inspired to create this gallery of the "Friday Night Lights" gang in movies, past, present and future. We urge you to click through with clear eyes and full hearts.

For five seasons, Kyle Chandler gained rave reviews on "Friday Night Lights." The only problem was nobody actually watched it. Now, though, Chandler is turning that buzz into a big time movie career — and, according to Deadline, he's just landed his biggest role yet as a crusading FBI agent in the upcoming Martin Scorsese drama "The Wolf of Wall Street."
Looks like Chandler must have clear eyes and a full heart, because these days he just can't lose. Get More »

Kyle Chandler has received and accepted his orders from Kathryn Bigelow.
The "Super 8" and "Friday Night Lights" star joins Joel Edgerton, Edgar Ramirez, Chris Pratt, Mark Strong, Jason Clarke and Jessica Chastain in the film that has been off-and-on referred to as "Kill Bin Laden," according to Deadline.
Chandler will be playing a CIA agent, which certainly falls in line with what co-star Strong had to say about the movie last month, describing it as "a very procedural film about the CIA and their attempts to find him" to the Press Association. Get More »

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Big Screen? The Future of 'Friday Night Lights'
NBC
Don't hit the showers yet, football fans. Just because "Friday Night Lights" was a movie before it was a TV show (and a book before that!) doesn't mean it won't be headed back to the big screen.
Once again, a little birdie named Twitter is the source for our excitement. According to a Tweet from Grantland's EiC Bill Simmons, writer/director Peter Berg already has plans for a movie. TV Line's Michael Ausiello checked out the story and says it holds water. Get More »

Before They Were Famous: Kyle Chandler In 'Pure Country'
YouTube/Warner Bros.
Handsome, affable, and intense, Kyle Chandler has earned critical and popular acclaim thanks to his role as pressure-cooked Coach Taylor on TV's "Friday Night Lights." With the release of "Super 8," we suspect Chandler -- who co-stars in the film as deputy sheriff Jackson Lamb -- will be hailed as an "overnight sensation" by critics and audiences. If only they knew how long he's been up-and-coming!
Major stardom may have eluded him, but the Buffalo, NY native has been working steadily for nearly 20 years, landing meaty roles in blockbusters like "King Kong," "The Kingdom" and "The Day the Earth Stood Still." But before he dodged apes, angry football fans and Keanu Reeves, he was making moves on George Strait's tour bus in 1992's "Pure Country." Get More »

Have a Close Encounter of the J.J. Abrams Kind With 3 'Super 8' Clips
Paramount
Ever since J.J. Abrams began the campaign for "Super 8" last year with his trademark cryptic teasers, we've been on pins and needles for him to let the monster out of the box... literally.
Now that we're just moments away from witnessing what new devilry the "Lost"/"Star Trek" impresario and his cohort, producer Steven Spielberg, have in store for us, we've got three new clips from the sci-fi coming-of-age movie.
Equal parts "Stand By Me" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," "Super 8" revolves around a group of young amateur filmmakers who accidentally capture footage of a... something... with their movie camera. All hell breaks loose, and you can bet we'll be there on June 10 to watch it all go down. Get More »
