Channing Tatum and Rosario Dawson lead a hot-to-trot cast down Memory Lane in this high school reunion dramedy. They play the ex-sweethearts swept up on a wave of nostalgia along with Lynn Collins as the prom queen whose crown has lost its shine, Brian Geraghty as a businessman who gets back his breakdancing mojo, and Oscar Isaac as a singing star who re-finds that loving feeling for old girlfriend Kate Mara. As for class lothario Anthony Mackie and total jock Chris Pratt »

An new pilot in development over at A&E may just echo the presence of Fox “Spooky” Mulder on the small screen. The pilot is called Occult and NCIS alumnus Sarah Jane Morris will spirit up a performance.
We’ve seen shows promise to offer some of that magic the X-Files delivered in its prime before, but the pilot for Occult has a leg up on such hopefuls. It was written by X-Files scribe James Wong.
That tidbit was the first item to get my attention. Ready for the second? The pilot will star Josh Lucas. Can I get a woot, woot? I’m a Lucas fan. How can you not like those soulful blue eyes. The actor was the best thing about the short lived series modeled after The Firm.
For Occult, Lucas is FBI Agent Dolan who nearly lost his mind when his wife Rebekah disappeared. Sarah Jane Morris »

It’s always great news when a show idea we’ve been following actually starts casting; it gets us thinking that the thing might actually get made. We first told you about Occult, a pilot picked up by A&E, last fall. It’s a Michael Bay (Transformers) -produced series about an FBI occult crimes task force, centering on FBI Agent Dolan, who joins the new unit upon his return from administrative leave, so ordered after going off the deep end while investigating his wife’s disappearance.
(L-r) Morris, Lucas, Collins
Word now comes from TVLine that things are moving along in the casting department, with the most recent hire being Sarah Jane Morris (NCIS) as that missing wife. So presumably we’ll be seeing her in flashbacks, or… hmm!
She’ll be joining star Josh Lucas (Space Warriors) as Agent Dolan; Lynn Collins (John Carter) as his new partner »

Or will it…? [Cue spooky X-Files theme]

Agnes Bruckner had the honor of portraying Anna Nicole Smith in Lifetime’s biopic of the former Playboy model and must have impressed someone because she has already been snatched up for another of A+E Networks’ projects. Her latest role will put her in a world much more gritty and scary than the world of a Playboy model – not that that life is easy, especially given Smith’s sad story. But the Smith biopic rests in fact and truth, while Bruckner’s part in A&E’s Occult will her bring into supernatural realms that will certainly test her abilities as actress, especially given the specifics of her character.
Bruckner joins co-stars Josh Lucas and Lynn Collins in Occult, a drama pilot produced by Michael Bay and written by veteran genre writer James Wong. Think of this pilot as being in the same vein as The X Files and »

Filmmaker duo David Siegel and Scott McGehee have been making movies since 1993 and their black-and-white thriller Suture, starring Dennis Haysbert as a car bomb survivor who fights to regain his memory and rebuild his damaged face while figuring out the person responsible for the blast. Their filmography is unique, a diverse collection of dramas including The Deep End, a mother/son thriller starring Tilda Swinton; Bee Season, about a father (Richard Gere) obsessed with his 11-year-old daughter’s training to win the national spelling bee and the twisty romance Uncertainty, two distinct parallel stories featuring the same characters played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins. For their highest profile movie to date, the family-in-crisis drama What Maisie Knew, Siegel and McGehee tackle the 1897 Henry James novel, their first adaptation of a literary classic. »

A&E is jumping head first into the burgeoning horror TV industry with next week’s Bates Motel, and it apparently likes what it’s seen so far. Next up? Michael Bay’s Occult, which has nabbed its two leads: The Firm and Hulk’s Josh Lucas and John Carter’s Lynn Collins.
Here’s how THR describes the show and their characters:
Occult revolves around an FBI agent who has returned from administrative leave after going off the deep end while investigating his wife’s disappearance. Eager to be back on the job, he is paired with an agent with her own complicated backstory who specializes in the occult. Together, they will solve cases for the newly formed occult crimes task force.
Lucas will star as Dolan, the intense, hotshot FBI agent returning to the force six months after the devastating disappearance of his wife. He’s a stand-up »

It may not be intentional, but A&E has cooked up a drama pilot that sounds remarkably like X-Files or Fringe. Part of the similarities might be due to former X-Files writer James Wong having penned the script, but I think no matter who wrote Occult we’d be able to look at this and say we have a pilot that might not be all that original. But what really counts as original these days? Everything’s a copy of a copy so there’s no need to tear down someone’s work just because it doesn’t stand out as unique. That is unless it’s so blatantly a rip off as to be insulting.
Thankfully, Occult at least has two leads lined up that will hopefully carry the potential series above any misconceptions about originality. Josh Lucas and Lynn Collins were reported by TVLine to be the co-stars of this series. »

A&E is beefing up their scripted department - and they are beefing it up with scary stuff. Bates Motel is a mere week away from its premiere, and a new pilot has just gone into production, called, simply, Occult.
From Hollywood Reporter: "Occult revolves around Dolan, an FBI agent who has returned from administrative leave after going off the deep end while investigating his wife’s disappearance.
