It’s The Leftovers For The Mentalist Actor Michael Gaston

4 hours ago | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

Get ready to feast upon the latest update on HBO’s The Leftovers. Don’t worry, we won’t make you eat your peas. There is something so insensitive about that title, but, hey, it fits the topic of the drama pilot that deals with the people left behind after the Rapture. If you think you’ve got this potential series pegged, don’t forget that it promises that things don’t exactly go down the way they are “supposed” to. In the news today, actor Michael Gaston joins the cast.

Gaston has a long resume of TV work. He acted in a handful of Terriers episodes, recurs in The Mentalist as Director of Cbi Gale Bertram, played agent Quinn for Prison Break, and worked on Jericho, Fringe, Rubicon, 24 and more.

Deadline announced that Gaston has joined the cast of Damon Lindelof’s HBO drama pilot The Leftovers. The pilot is directed by Peter Berg, »

Elf and (Another) Doctor Join the Growing Cast for Damon Lindelof’s The Leftovers

22 hours ago | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

It’s CastingPalooza over at Damon Lindelof‘s drama pilot The Leftovers for HBO. We told you earlier today about casting for another pilot, that one to be run by Lindelof’s former Lost co-showrunner Carlton Cuse, but still, we’re always hesitant to talk too much about pilots. We’ve had our hearts broken too many times in the past by pilots that are never turned into series *cough* Locke & Key *cough* Mockingbird Lane *cough*.

Still, things are looking good for Cuse’s pilot, and with all the casting news lately, they’re looking similarly good for Lindelof. Joining the throng of actors who’ve signed up to be a Leftover are former elf Liv Tyler (the Lord of the Rings trilogy) and the Ninth Doctor, Christopher Eccleston. Yes, a Doctor for the Lindelof pilot, just as another Doctor has signed up for the Cuse pilot. Weird, right?

As a quick reminder, »

Based on Tom Perrotta’s book, the project is set after the Rapture and tells the story of those folks who didn’t quite make the cut.

Patricia Clarkson To Test “The Maze Runner”

18 June 2013 11:38 AM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »

The venerable Patricia Clarkson (who’s esteemed resume includes The Untouchables, Jumanji, The East, Easy A, The Green Mile, Frasier, Six Feet Under and The Station Agent) has been added to The Maze Runner, the adaptation of the bestselling Ya sci-fi novel from James Dasher (who sounds fit to run the maze himself).

Clarkson will play “Chancellor Ava Paige, the highest ranking member of the organization trying to test children to find the strongest, most intelligent warriors.” The Maze Runner is like Lost, Lord Of The Flies and Hunger Games combined as kids with no recollection of how they got there, struggle to reach the end of a puzzling labyrinth.

The film is set to be directed by first timer Wes Ball and features a youthful cast that also includes Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Ki Hong Lee, Aml Ameen, Will Poulter and Blake Cooper. »

The End Is Near for Showtime’s ‘Dexter’

17 June 2013 10:07 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

After eight seasons, Showtime’s dearly demented drama “Dexter” is ending. The cast and crew gathered June 16 at Hollywood’s Milk Studios to say goodbye and view the final season’s first two episodes.

Since the studio had been converted into a blood-splattered screening room covered with props and memorabilia from the series, Julie Benz, who once played Dexter’s wife, wondered aloud, “Do they have the wedding ring, because I’m going to steal it.”

Benz, as well as former cast members Jaime Murray and John Lithgow (who snuck in at the last minute), joined returning thesps Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, C.S. Lee, James Remar, Desmond Harrington, Yvonne Strahovski and David Zayas and newcomers Charlotte Rampling and Sean Patrick Flanery.

The show uses the popular “Big Bad” TV trope each season, meaning, despite the abundance of death and gore, there’s usually one all-around villain story through the year. »

Greatest TV Pilots: Six Feet Under

15 June 2013 6:30 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Six Feet Under

Written by Alan Ball

Directed by Alan Ball

Aired 3 June 2001 on HBO

There’s a moment in the pilot episode of Six Feet Under which perfectly captures the tone of the show. On his way to pick up his son from the airport, Nathaniel Fisher ends a phone call to his wife Ruth by promising he’ll give up smoking. He stubs out his cigarette. Then he smiles a little private smile to himself and flips another smoke into his mouth. It’s only when he bends to light it, that the bus bearing down on him at the intersection is revealed.

Death is everywhere: the loose stairtread, the drunk driver heading the other way as we drive home, the coughing fit which pops that weak artery, the poorly ventilated space heater. As Nathaniel’s demise demonstrates, if one thing (smoking) doesn’t get you, another thing (the bus) will and, »

'Harry Potter' director David Yates replacing Ang Lee for FX pilot 'Tyrant'

12 June 2013 5:27 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

"Harry Potter" veteran David Yates is stepping in to replace Ang Lee as the director of FX's high-profile drama pilot "Tyrant."

It's another big get for the project from executive producer Howard Gordon ("Homeland") which is expected to receive a series order and will film a pilot in Morocco this summer.

Gideon Raff wrote the pilot's script about an unassuming American family drawn into the workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation. Gordon developed the series with Craig Wright ("Six Feet Under"), who will serve as showrunner.

FX made a splash by announcing two-time Oscar winner Lee would direct his first TV pilot, but the filmmaker had to bow out last month due to an overwhelming schedule. By landing Yates as his replacement, they now have a filmmaker with four blockbuster "Potter" films to his credit as well as long line of quality TV credits in his native UK including »

'Downton Abbey' producers compare body count to 'Game of Thrones' and 'Six Feet Under'

11 June 2013 11:01 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

As Emmy balloting opens, the cast and producers of "Downton Abbey," participated in a panel discussion Monday (June 10) at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in Los Angeles. While creator Julian Fellowes was careful to keep a tight lid on Season 4 details, one topic that received a lot of attention is the death count of Season 3  

The show's executive producer Gareth Neame offers a comparison to HBO's shocking "Red Wedding" in Season 3, episode 9. "We didn't execute Robert Grantham at the end of the season," Neame says. "So other shows have the edge on us." 

Fellowes points out that it is standard in England for actors to sign on to a series for no more than three years at a time, and some actors simply choose not to extend. Referring to the departures of Jessica Brown Findlay (Lady Sybil), Dan Stevens (Matthew Crawley) and now Siobhan Finneran (O'Brien), Fellowes explains, "When »

Will James Cromwell finally win first Emmy for 'American Horror Story: Asylum'?

7 June 2013 5:55 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

If Gold Derby's editors, experts and users are correct, veteran actor James Cromwell will finally win an Emmy award thanks to his sadistic role on "American Horror Story: Asylum." Cromwell is already a three-time Emmy also-ran, having failed to secure wins for "Rko 281" (Movie/Mini Supporting Actor in 2000), "ER" (Drama Guest Actor in 2001) and "Six Feet Under" (Drama Guest Actor in 2003). Thanks to the movie "Babe," Cromwell also has a Supporting Actor Oscar nomination under his belt; he lost that 1995 race to Kevin Spacey ("The Usual Suspects").  Hey voters, isn't it time for James Cromwell to actually win something? According to Gold Derby's exclusive polling, that time is now. Cromwell currently comes in first place in the race for Movie/Mini Supporting Actor. That puts him above category competitors Jeffrey Tambor ("Phil Spector"), Peter Mullan ("To »
