Plus a Spanish-language Breaking Bad and does Fox’s Gavin & Stacy remake work News
Fox unveiled its fall schedule which doesn’t include any of the big moves that people speculated would happen. Glee will air on Thursday (but will apparently take a hiatus) to make room for the Greg Kinnear series Rake. American Idol and The X-Factor aren’t cutting back. Tuesday nights continue to be comedy night. The one major change is a plan to move Bones and Raising Hope to Friday.
Fox also announced it is returning to the mini-series genre, reviving 24 as a 12-hour story and ordering Wayward Pines, a Twin Peaks-inspired thriller from The Playboy Club creator Chad Hodge. it’s also developing a mini-series about Billy the Kid.
Meanwhile, Fox also released trailers for its new shows. I have a feeling you’ll be most interested in Us & Them, the Americanization of Gavin & Stacey. »

Yesterday we posted some interesting TV spots for TNT‘s Falling Skies that were cool but didn’t have any real new information about Season 3. Today, however, is information day. You’ll get a little bit from the featurette below, but the clip has a lot more. (Wow, someone sure has grown up a lot in “seven months.” I hope he doesn’t suffer the same fate as Walt on Lost.)

Updated: It's true! Colin Firth will join Emma Stone to lead Woody Allen's "new, untitled comedy," according to a press release. The project will film in the south of France, making it Allen's second film in France, and his eighth in Europe.
----
Earlier: Woody Allen is an interesting fellow. While most filmmakers come up with a grand idea and then find stars to play the parts, Allen seems to often do the opposite: He finds people and places that inspire him and then crafts the film around their strengths. Last week, we heard that Emma Stone was in talks to work with the bespectacled director, and now a male lead seems poised to join her, according to Deadline.
Let's all welcome Colin Firth to the Woody Club, shall we?
Bet you didn't see that one coming.
Not that Firth isn't a perfectly excellent pick. After all, »

Get it? Ears bug out? Remember, the bug crawling out of Hal’s ear? No? Well these new and kinda edgy Falling Skies TV spots will remind you. They’re cool, creepy, odd, excellent, weird, or frustrating, depending on your perspective. Nothing new, really, except the style, but that style is certainly noteworthy. They are presented to you with the weirdest one first. The second is a shorter version of the third.

If you’ve never seen Falling Skies and are wondering what it’s about, here’s a trailer to pique your interest. The first 30 seconds or so is “before the invasion” footage, though little if any time has been spent on that in the actual series. It does, however, set the stage for what comes next.
The show isn’t always as somber as the music might suggest, but it also isn’t mostly explosions, as the video might suggest. It’s somewhere in between. The intensity and action were both stepped up in Season 2, which makes up the majority of the video included here. Oh, and for you veteran fans, watch closely and you’ll see new footage interspersed throughout, most notably near the end.

John Malkovich will play the world's most famous pirate: Blackbeard.
The two-time Oscar nominee will star as the notorious figure in NBC's action-adventure drama series "Crossbones," Entertainment Weekly reports. Malkovich will start as Blackbeard in the 10-episode series based on Colin Woodard's book "The Republic of Pirates."
In the show set in 1715, Malkovich's legendary pirate reigns over the rest of the thieves and outlaws in the Bahamian island of New Providence. Assassin Tom Lowe is sent to take down Blackbeard, but "the closer he gets, the more enthralled with the community he becomes," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Hugh Laurie had previously been offered the role of Blackbeard, but turned town the role of the infamous pirate that now belongs to Malkovich.

Giant weapon pointed into space! New aliens! Hal is (literally) bugged! Anne’s pregnancy may not be normal! TNT‘s Falling Skies sure left us with a lot of questions, and left the production with a lot to work with going into its third season. Don’t worry if it’s all a little fuzzy to you – the Season 2 finale was back in August, after all – because we have a new featurette to remind you.
Here you’ll see the big questions (in big graphics) and what the producers have to say about them. I may be forgetting some things, but it seems like they’re also pointing out a few nuances we, or at least I, may have missed. We also get a wee bit of our first look at Season 3 in the closing seconds:
