Titanic & Inglourious Basterds Actors Join FX’s The Strain
10 hours ago | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
I love it when a plan comes together. One day after casting Mia Maestro as the lead for an intense little FX network pilot called The Strain, now the masters behind the vampire thriller, Guillermo del Toro and Carlton Cuse, select two more actors, choosing Titanic‘s Jonathan Hyde and Inglourious Basterds‘ Richard Sammel.
Who is who? Well, Hyde, who acted the part of Ismay in James Cameron’s massive and enduring blockbuster, Titanic, has been cast in the series regular role of Eldritch Palmer. Palmer is described as an elderly gentleman, the THR report calls “the third-richest man in the world” and “an invalid since childhood”. Where’s the kicker? Brace yourself, because here it comes. The goal our rich friend will stop at nothing to obtain is immortality.
Yikes! Right about now I’m remembering Cronos, Del Toro’s brilliant 1993 vampire film, which is perhaps one of the »

15 hours ago | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
One of the many projects Guillermo del Toro has moving forward is a TV version of The Strain, based on the trilogy of vampire novels he co-wrote with Chuck Hogan. FX has ordered a pilot episode and we have news of three more additions to the cast.
As previously reported, Corey Stoll (House of Cards) has been cast in the lead role, and Kevin Durand (Resident Evil: Retribution) will also be joining him. Stoll will be playing Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, the head of the Centers for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City, while Durand is taking on the part of “a second-generation Ukranian-American, a once-solitary rat exterminator who eagerly joins the war against vampires who have invaded New York.”
Joining them will be Jonathan Hyde (Titanic), Richard Sammel (Inglourious Basterds), and Mia Maestro (Alias). According to THR, Jonathan Hyde will play Eldritch Palmer, “an elderly tycoon who’s »

Two more names have signed on to appear in the upcoming FX adaptation of the Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan vampire opus The Strain. Read on for the details surrounding the latest additions, who happen to know a few things about changing the course of history.
THR reports that Titanic's Jonathan Hyde (pictured) and Inglourious Basterds' Richard Sammel have boarded the television project. Hyde will portray the series regular role of Eldritch Palmer, an elderly tycoon who's the third-richest man in the world who has been an invalid since childhood. Though his life-long fight against his frail body, he's developed a relentless drive to attain immortality by any means necessary.
Sammel, meanwhile, will play Thomas Eichorst, a mysterious figure from Professor Abraham Setrakian's past whose re-emergence in New York is not a coincidence. (The role of Setrakian has yet to be cast.) They join the previously announced Corey Stoll, »

FX’s ‘The Strain’ Adds More Cast Members
17 hours ago | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
One of the more intriguing projects on Pacific Rim director Guillermo Del Toro’s always-crowded slate is the FX-backed television adaptation of The Strain novel trilogy. Del Toro co-wrote the books – a unique spin on both the vampire and post-apocalyptic genres – with celebrated crime novelist Chuck Hogan (Prince of Thieves, adapted by Ben Affleck in The Town), and will oversee the TV series with Lost veteran Carlton Cuse.
Beyond the casting of House of Cards standout Corey Stoll in the lead role of Dr. Ephraim “Eph” Goodweather, news on this project has been light in the last few weeks, other than Del Toro’s confirmation that the series has gone straight into pilot production.
Now there’s a sudden wave of casting news, which is a definite signal that this is going forward. ...

21 May 2013 4:17 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
A&E got some excellent news today as "Bates Motel" ended its first season as the second-most-watched new cable drama of the year. And if you're a fan of the show, we have more good news in the form of some hints of what's ahead.
Let's get the numbers out of the way first. Per THR's The Live Feed, the Season 1 finale episode averaged 2.7 million viewers, with 1.5 million of them in the targeted adults 18-49 category. That's a slight dip from March's 3 million premiere but on par with the series average of 2.7 million total viewers (1.5 million adults 18-49 and adults 25-54) tuning in during the entire ten-episode run. Live+Seven Day returns have the show earning 4.4 million viewers with DVR additions.

Carlton Cuse Teases Season 2 Of “Bates Motel”
21 May 2013 2:05 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Last night we all saw A&E’s season one finale of Bates Motel. One day later, and Ep Carlton Cuse is giving us some information about what season 2 might entail. There’s a bevy of spoilers for the season finale in the following interview with THR.
The Hollywood Reporter: Norman killed Miss Watson!
Carlton Cuse: The ending is certainly a provocative moment that sets up a lot of story for next year.
THR: Where will season two pick up? Will there be a time jump?
Cuse: I don’t want to say exactly how we’re going to do that. Certainly the events at end of this season are very much in play when season two opens. One of the big questions looming is: What is Norman’s awareness of his own self, how much does Norma know? How much does she know about what Norman is really all about? »

Guillermo del Toro Chooses Breaking Dawn’s Mia Maestro For The Strain
21 May 2013 1:37 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim trailer is seriously sweet, but don’t call him a one trick pony. The man is a ground breaker in science fiction and horror, but have you heard about his upcoming vampire drama? Actress Mia Maestro knows all about it. He chose her for the lead role in The Strain.
Your first order of business is to forget about The Andromeda Strain, because this is something completely different. The Strain is an adaptation of del Toro’s vampire novel trilogy, which official has a pilot order. Del Toro has his fingers crossed that this will become a 13-episode series pickup.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn actress Mia Maestro will star in the pilot opposite former House of Cards actor Corey Stoll. The FX drama project is already quite high profile, explained the recent Deadline article.
The thriller tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, »

Bates Motel Ep 1.10 ‘Midnight’ ends the season on a low note
21 May 2013 1:12 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Bates Motel Season 1, Episode 10 ‘Midnight’
Directed by Tucker Gates
Written by Carlton Cuse & Kerry Ehrin
returns for season 2 in 2014
(Randy is taking over for Ricky this week. You can read more of Randy’s reviews for other episodes of Bates Motel over at Processed Media).
Campy, frustrating, intriguing, laughably ridiculous… all of these words describe the first season of Bates Motel in some form or another, whether you’re talking about plot, setting, performances, or characters. Unfortunately, the only word that comes to mind when it comes to the finale is “contrived.” At least the show finally put its cards down on the table – except it didn’t, and what cards it put down make little to no sense whatsoever. Top it off with a “shocking” “twist” that nobody could give a fuck less about, and ‘Midnight’ stands as a testament to all that Bates Motel is and isn’t… »

A&E’s ‘Bates Motel’ Rises In Finale
21 May 2013 12:18 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
The Season 1 finale of Bates Motel last night on A&E got 2.7 million viewers with 1.5 million among adults 18-49 and 1.4 million among adults 25-54. That’s up 15% in the 18-49 demo from last week’s show and up 8% in total viewers and among Adults 25-54. The finale was down from the show’s March 18 premiere that was the most-watched original drama in the demos in A&E’s history. The debut of the Psycho prequel garnered 3 million total viewers and 1.599 million viewers among adults 18-49 and 1.633 million viewers among adults 25-54. Those numbers made it a no-brainer that A&E announced on April 8 that it had renewed Bates Motel for a 10-episode second season to air in 2014. Overall, Bates Motel averaged 2.7 million viewers in its first season with 1.5 million in both the 18-49 and 25-54 demos. Those results are the best any A&E drama has performed in the demos. »

'Bates Motel' Season 2 preview: More of Norman and Norma's relatives on the way
21 May 2013 12:12 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
After a killer first season proved "Bates Motel" is far more than a schlocky attempt at a "Psycho" prequel, we're eager to see what the show has in store for us next.
The Season 1 finale left us with so many questions -- Did Norman actually kill Miss Watson? Or is her death connected to other dangerous elements of White Pine Bay? Who was Bradley's father having an affair with? What's Sheriff Romero really up to? And what exactly happened in Norma's past? -- and of course the powers that be won't give us answers, because that would spoil the fun.
Here's what executive producer Carlton Cuse and stars Vera Farmiga, Freddie Highmore, Max Thieriot and Nestor Carbonell were able to tease about Season 2 before the recent "Bates Motel" event at the Paley Center in Los Angeles.

Bates Motel Episode 110
“Midnight”
Written By: Carlton Cuse & Kerry Ehrin
Directed By: Tucker Gates
Original Airdate: 20 May 2013
In This Episode...
Norma goes straight to Romero to tell him about the threats Jake Abernathy made. He promises to “take care of it” but won’t elaborate on how. Norma can’t trust him on that and goes to Dylan, asking for a gun. He thinks that is a bad idea, but later takes pity on her and brings her a pistol. They go out to the woods and spend some quality mother-son bonding time as Dylan teaches her to shoot. He even, accidentally, calls her “Mom,” which pleases Norma and embarrasses Dylan.
Romero retrieves a sack of cash from a garage, then meets with Keith’s sister, Maggie. She was the bookkeeper for Keith and Shelby’s little business, and had been visited by Abernathy - using the name Joe Fioretti. »

'Bates Motel' season finale: [Spoiler] kills [Spoiler]

Spoiler alert! Don’t keep reading unless you’ve seen the season finale of Bates Motel.
So that’s what Norman’s first kill looks like. Not his first first kill, mind you. That happened before the pilot — as far as we know, Norman attacking his father was his first homicidal break. But this was different: This was Norman being comforted by an older woman and then coerced by his “mother” into slashing her throat. That’s right: Our budding psycho offed sweet, pre-pedophiliac Miss Watson in Monday’s finale, which also included a shooting and a high school dance. »
