Netflix In Talks To Revive 'Jericho'?
18 May 2012 8:26 AM, PDT | AirlockAlpha.com | See recent Airlock Alpha news »
One of the very few television series to be saved by the fans (even if it was for a brief second season) could be revived yet again. And Netflix won't need a single peanut to help it make a decision. Karim Zreik, a co-executive producer of "Jericho" who is now working on the series "Common Law" said that not only would he love to see the one-time CBS series brought back, but it could actually be more than wishful thinking. "We'd be ecstatic if that happened," Zreik recently told The Hollywood Reporter. "From what I hear, sides are talking. I wish I knew more. As you know, the fanbase of that show were incredible, and they've all started reaching out since this report came out. It's exciting and I know the cast is excited too." "Jericho" starred Skeet Ulrich as Jake Green, a sort »
The John Bensalhia Column: Scream of the crop

So here is a slight change of pace – I'll be branching out into other areas apart from Doctor Who, including film franchises, TV shows and comedies. How's about kicking off with a scary movie series then? Newbies be warned – there are so many spoilers in this article, that Doctor Who's River Song would explode with smug rage.
By the middle of the 1990s, the horror film had seemingly died for good. Just like Dracula slowly rotting away to a skeleton, the horror genre had slowly ebbed away for the past decade or so. Hammer Horror classics from the 1960s and 1970s had given way to popular horror franchises in the 1980s such as Friday The 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street, but even by the mid-1990s, these had seemingly vanished into the ether. However, acclaimed director Wes Craven along with Kevin Williamson were to breathe new life into the rotting genre. »
Cancelled CBS Drama ‘Jericho’ May Rise Again On Netflix
2 May 2012 11:40 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Fresh off atoning for their Qwikster shenanigans by ordering new episodes of “Arrested Development,” Netflix is looking again to please fans of another cancelled show, albeit a show that may provoke a reaction of, “Oh yeah, that did exist, didn’t it?” TV Guide reports developments began when Netflix approached CBS Television Studios about creating and streaming new episodes of their Skeet Ulrich drama “Jericho,” which premiered in 2006 and was cancelled in 2008 due to low ratings. The show followed the residents of a small Kansas town in the wake of a nuclear attack, and gained notoriety mainly for its fan base, who protested the first season cancellation by way of mass peanut shipment to the studio, with reckless disregard for CBS employee allergies. The peanut campaign worked however, as the show came back for a second season, but celebrations were short-lived since ratings dipped again, and it was cancelled after the finale. »

Netflix Looking to Resurrect Jericho?
2 May 2012 11:10 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Last month Netflix announced that they had posted a loss for the first quarter of 2012, but that they had gained 1.7 million subscribers in the U.S. With numbers nearly back to where they were in the middle of last year, it appears that they may have finally recovered from their price increase and the whole Qwikster fiasco. However, with a lot of major content deals continuing to expire, it's becoming clear that the future Netflix probably lies in original programming. The relaunch of Arrested Development next year is going to be a huge boost for them, and now it looks like they're hoping to bring back another short-lived fan favourite: the CBS sci-fi drama Jericho. For those unfamiliar with the show, Jericho centered on the inhabitants of a fictional town in Kansas who struggle to maintain order after 23 major cities in the United States suffer nuclear attacks of unknown origin. »

The Films Of Richard Linklater: A Retrospective
2 May 2012 9:37 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Given that he's one of the more diverse and prolific filmmakers out there, it's been a disappointingly long four years without a new movie from Richard Linklater ("Me and Orson Welles" premiered at Tiff in 2008). Fortunately, the Austin, Texas-based filmmaker is back with "Bernie," a dark comedy which reunites him with two of his most memorable leads, Jack Black and Matthew McConaughey, that has picked up strong reviews and, opening in limited release last Friday, has been performing surprisingly well at the box office.
With "Bernie" expanding wider this weekend (read our review), it seemed like the perfect time to look over Linklater's diverse and eclectic career. He'd already made his mark by founding the Austin Film Society in 1985 (which has gone on to be the center of the industy in the Texas city), but since his debut with an ultra-low-budget student film in 1988, Linklater's tackled everything from romance to »

Jericho fans, have you revived from fainting after seeing that headline? Well, take a lot of deep breaths, slowly, because “slowly” is how it will happen, if there’s even a chance. Keep Terra Nova fans in mind when you feel like hyperventilating; they, too, were told there was a possibility that their beloved show might be revived by by Netflix, and Netflix eventually had to dash their hopes.
TV Guide broke the news about Jericho, confirming that Netflix has approached CBS about reviving the cult favorite, and the network, through its CBS TV Studios production arm, is considering it. The drama, which followed the residents of a small Kansas town in the wake of a nuclear attack, starred Skeet Ulrich, Lennie James, and Ashley Scott, and last aired a new episode in 2008.
Don’t let the length of time that’s elapsed since the last season aired be too discouraging; Netflix has, »

Netflix is currently working on new episodes of "Arrested Development," and has now approached CBS about reviving "Jericho," another cult favorite TV series. According to TV Guide, CBS is seriously considering the deal. "Jericho," starred Skeet Ulrich and followed the residents of a small Kansas town in the wake of a nuclear attack. The series first aired in 2006 and lasted only two seasons, but it remains popular on Netflix's streaming service. Talks are still in preliminary stages, with many hurdles to overcome before a deal is struck. The biggest issue is finding a way to make the show financially viable for both Netflix and CBS. Meanwhile, it will also be a challenge rounding up the stars and executive producers, many of whom are working on other projects. »
Netflix Wants To Revive ‘Jericho’

The fight for the post- apocalyptic drama Jericho may not be over just yet, as Netflix has approached CBS about resurrecting the cult fave with all new episodes.
The series starred Skeet Ulrich and Ashley and revolved around the residents of a small, rural town in Kansas called Jericho; in the aftermath of a devastating nuclear assault on 23 major Us. cities, the Jericho survivors mount staggering efforts to restore life to some sort of normalcy. CBS cancelled Jericho after its first season due to less than stellar rating, but die-hard fans assembled to launch a successful campaign to save the series, involving sending over 20 tons of nuts to CBS headquarters.
Despite the passionate fan efforts, Jericho was cancelled again for the final time after the second season. Following its television demise there was Click to continue reading Netflix Wants To Revive ‘Jericho’

'Jericho' reborn? Netflix reportedly talking about a revival
1 May 2012 12:58 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Get your peanuts ready: There are rumblings that the cult drama "Jericho" could be the subject of an "Arrested Development"-style resurrection, once again courtesy of Netflix.
Netflix and CBS Studios, which produced the series, have had (very) preliminary talks about a reboot, TV Guide reports. Some fairly significant financial discussions still have to happen, and the cast -- which included Skeet Ulrich, Lennie James and Ashley Scott -- and creative team would have to be reassembled as well. The show has also been down this road before: Comcast flirted with the idea of a third season a couple years ago, and a feature film project never went anywhere.
If a deal does come together, it will give Netflix another passionate fan base to tap. "Jericho" was canceled after its first season in 2006-07, when it averaged about 9.2 million viewers (marginal for CBS at the time), but a fan campaign »

Girls on Film: Women of Color, Move to the Right

Vanity Fair isn’t known for getting its annual Hollywood Issue right. Each year we are graced with a thick, Tinseltown-studded release of widely recognized talent and new faces the magazine swears will hit it big. But many consider recognition from Vanity Fair a curse. A good number of these fresh actors never make it beyond the work that got them cover recognition in the first place – actors like Skeet Ulrich, Fairuza Balk, Gretchen Mol, Rufus Sewell, and two-time cover girl Selma Blair. But these cover-starring choices aren’t just about hot names with potentially successful careers; it’s also a matter of hotness and whiteness. This year’s cover features the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Rooney Mara, Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Adepero Oduye...
