Plus Fox orders nine pilots, the BBC is remaking Everybody Loves Raymond and Gillian Anderson is Hannibal‘s therapist. News
If the May upfront presentations are like Christmas for me, this week is the one when kids watch every package to come out of the car trunk, looking for clues to what thrills will be discovered under the tree. A few hints came from NBC today as they officially cancelled Deception. (Somebody find Victor Garber a good show, please!). It also passed on seven pilots, including ones starring Tbl-faves Dave Annable, Chris Zylka, Jesse Lee Soffer and Stephen Guarino.
Meanwhile, Variety says that NBC will announce a decision on bubble shows like The New Normal, Go On and Community today. According to Variety, NBC is inclined to clean house with its comedies but there’s a chance some shows will get a 13-episode order to use as midseason replacements.

It looks like there won't be a second season for NBC's Deception. Deadline is reporting that the NBC TV series has been cancelled and is one of the first of the peacock's shows to get the bad news.

Justin Timberlake As Daddy Warbucks in “Annie” Remake?
19 March 2013 9:10 AM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
The New York Post is reporting that Hollywood sources believe actor/musician Justin Timberlake (The Social Network) is being considered for the role of Daddy Warbucks in the upcoming remake of “Annie”.
“Annie” is the story of a young orphan during the Great Depression, based upon a comic strip called Little Orphan Annie from 1924. The story was made into a Broadway musical in 1977 with great success and it eventually spawned two film adaptations (in 1982 and 1999).
The New York Post also writes that a rep from Sony said the claim is “Not true.”
So why not drop it there? A big reason film is that the film is being produced by Will Smith and Jay-z. The latter worked with Justin Timberlake on the current hit song “Suit and Tie” and the two are said to be going on tour together soon. This is why the claim sounds plausible, despite what the Sony rep said. »

With Revolution taking a break, NBC decided to try a new Monday night drama, Deception. Has it been a ratings success for the network or will it end up being cancelled like so many of their other Monday night dramas?
On Deception, a wealthy party girl has been mysteriously murdered. Her childhood friend, now a San Francisco narcotics detective, is convinced by her former partner to go undercover into the wealthy world she thought she'd left behind.

Iran to "sue" Hollywood over Argo
13 March 2013 12:15 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
It seems as though some people didn’t take to kindly to Ben Affleck’s award winning Argo…
Several Iranian media outlets are saying that the Iranian Authorities are planning on suing Hollywood because of Argo’s “unrealistic portrayal” of their country, according to The Associated Press.
Outlets including pro-reform Shargh Daily said that French lawyer Isabelle Countant-Peyre is currently in Iran for talks about how to take this lawsuit further. This is not the first controversial choice made by Countant-Peyre who was the lawyer for Venezuelan-born terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez – best known as Carlos the Jackal.
Iranian officials claim that Argo is “pro-cia” and “anti-Iranian propaganda” after a group saw the film in a closed audience screening in Tehran yesterday. Local movie critics were also in attendance.
The movie, which sees American hostages escape from the besieged U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979, was critically acclaimed upon its release and earned the Best Picture, »

DVD Review - Argo (2012)
6 March 2013 12:03 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Argo, 2012.
Directed by Ben Affleck.
Starring Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, Taylor Schilling, Kyle Chandler, John Goodman, Alan Arkin, Zeljko Ivanek, Clea DuVall, Tate Donovan and Victor Garber.
Synopsis:
Based on a true story, Argo retells the events surrounding the extraction of 6 Americans after the storming of the Us Embassy in Iran.
Regardless of how you feel about its Best Picture win at the 2013 Oscars, it cannot be disputed that Argo is a very good film. Ben Affleck is proving - or has proved I should say - that he is a very accomplished director who can tell a fascinating story ripe expertly crafted. That being said I think it could have been improved if we had felt a little something more for the characters, the situation, and knowledge of it is what caused the majority of the tension, as I had no real investment in the characters themselves, only situation they were in. »

Spoiler alert: The real-life Bowers brace us for the season’s final three episodes!
Vivian Bowers’ killer will finally be revealed on the March 18 season finale of Deception, but the show’s stars assure HollywoodLife.com that there are plenty of other surprises fans can anticipate in the coming weeks. Victor Garber, Katherine Lanasa and Ella Rae Peck recently met with the press to spill secrets about the upcoming episodes — and trust me, they didn’t give ‘em up easily.
Vivian’s Killer Will Be Revealed
Despite what many fans assume, the cast hasn’t known the identity of Vivian’s killer since day one. In fact, the stars were only recently clued in, and even they aren’t sure if they have the whole story.
“We found out when we read the last script, but it went through some changes; so even for us, it’s a little open-ended »

The arts aren’t merely for entertainment; they can also be a powerful healing tool. Just ask the organization Creative Alternatives of New York (Cany), which for 30 years has been helping children and adults deal with difficult situations through drama therapy. In order to continue their services, Cany will hold their annual gala at the Edison Hotel Ballroom on Monday, April 29. This year’s Cany honorees are Tony Award winners Katie Finneran and Kathleen Marshall, and in memoriam the organization’s founding chairperson Janet L. Levy. Aside from the usual cocktails, dinner, and live auction, the evening will also include a performance by Kristin Chenoweth and a video presentation by Victor Garber. In addition, presenters include Judith Light and Matthew Broderick. Individual admission is $300, which supports Cany in providing roughly 1,400 therapeutic theater groups in residential centers for children and youth, special schools, veterans’ mental health centers, and domestic violence safe shelters. »
‘Deception’ Preview Video: Joanna & Will Fight About Julian — Watch
27 February 2013 12:01 PM, PST | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
Joanna meets with Will to talk business, but their little chat quickly turns personal — and ugly!
Joanna (Meagan Good) and Will (Laz Alonso) may be working together to expose the Bowers, but in HollywoodLife.com‘s exclusive clip from the March 4 episode of Deception, they seem more like bitter enemies! Not only does Will tell Joanna to stay close to Robert (Victor Garber), even though she’s afraid the Bowers patriarch will kill her at any minute, but he also implies she’s letting her feelings for Julian (Wes Brown) cloud her judgment. Actually, it’s less of an implication and more of a straight-up accusation.
Needless to say, this sudden turn in the conversation doesn’t sit well with Joanna. After attempting — and failing — to argue back, she resorts to Plan B: telling Will to screw himself, then storming off.
Nice, Joanna. Real nice.

'Deception': High society style on a cop show budget
25 February 2013 12:00 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Usually TV characters have better wardrobes than their real-life counterparts ...Ok, those waitress uniforms on "2 Broke Girls" are an exception.
But on "Deception," NBC's Monday night soap, the characters are so wealthy that it would be unlikely a freshman show could buy high-end enough wardrobes that would hang in these one percenters' walk-in closets.
"I don't have a fancy budget," Amy Roth, the show's costume designer, tells Zap2it. "With these first-season shows, you want to show you can make this TV series great. You don't want to spend a lot of money until it's a hit. I am doing this on the budget of a cop show."
"It is super wealthy, and I do spend a lot of time in Bergdorf's, and I love it, and I put my money where it matters," Roth says. "I spend my money pretty much on the waist up. It is a facet of my job. »

Blu-ray Review: Argo
25 February 2013 2:41 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Review by Dan Clark
Stars: Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Alan Arkin, Victor Garber, Tate Donovan, Clea Duvall, Scoot McNairy, Rory Cochrane | Written by Chris Terrio | Directed by Ben Affleck
Sentimentality and purpose are major facets in the tale of Argo. Ben Affleck’s third directorial effort is full of nuance, inspiration, and more importantly a profound respect for the story it is telling. It covers the strange but true tale of how the CIA attempted to bring home six stranded Americans during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. That reverence is a big reason why Argo is such an achievement. Care and effort went into every aspect in order to place you into their chaotic world and provide a small understanding of the tribulations they faced on a daily basis. Having that desire combined with the talent involved lead to produce one of the best films of the year thus far. »

And Best Picture Goes To ...
24 February 2013 8:57 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Argo" is the Best Picture winner in 2013.
The film, directed by Ben Affleck, won the Oscars' top prize at the 85th annual Academy Awards. Jack Nicholson led up to the announcement made by Michelle Obama, who surprised audiences with her appearance, led up to the announcement.
"Argo" was expected to win the Best Picture award after steamrolling through awards season. Affleck's film won prizes from the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, Directors Guild of America, Producers Guild of America, Writers Guild of America and BAFTA. The "Argo" win is historic, as it becomes only the fourth film in the 85-year history of the Academy Awards to win Best Picture without a nomination in the Best Director category. Affleck, who was also a co-producer on the film with George Clooney and Grant Heslov, was famously left off of the Best Director ballot.
