Billy Crystal starring in 'The Comedians' pilot at FX, Larry Charles to direct
21 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
FX is adding Billy Crystal to their stable of comedy stars, greenlighting the pilot "The Comedians" Crystal has been developing with Larry Charles ("Curb Your Enthusiasm"), Matt Nix ("Burn Notice") and Ben Wexler ("Arrested Development").
Charles (whose credits also include "Borat" and "Seinfeld") will direct the pilot, which stars Crystal as a comedy veteran who meets his match in an edgy young comedian on a late-night comedy sketch show. That will presumably give Crystal the opportunity to showcase some of the sketch comedy skills he demonstrated in his season as a regular on "Saturday Night Live."
Crystal's TV resume also includes a series regular gig on the late '70s comedy "Soap" and winning six Emmy awards, including four for his frequent hosting of the Academy Awards.
"It truly is an honor to be in business with Billy Crystal and Larry Charles, two of the all-time greats in comedy," FX »

HBO Teases Clear History, Gives Larry David Hair And Beard
22 May 2013 8:03 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
HBO have released a teaser trailer for the upcoming Clear History, a film starring and co-written by Larry David and directed by Greg Mottola (Superbad). In it, the usually balding and clean-shaven creator of Curb Your Enthusiasm is given a full head of flowing locks and a giant beard, driving an open-topped sports car and singing along to some classic rock.
Entertainment Weekly revealed that the film will also star Jon Hamm, Bill Hader, Kate Hudson, Eva Mendes, Danny McBride, and Michael Keaton, and will stick to Larry David’s signature style of improvised dialogue over a structured story. Most excitingly of all, J.B. Smoove will also be joining the cast – his chemistry on Curb Your Enthusiasm was electric, and he can always be depended-upon to make a good scene great.
But what’s the story? Well, Larry David plays Nathan, a hipster marketing executive who sells his shares in »

Larry David Looks Unrecognizable In 'Clear History' Teaser
21 May 2013 11:04 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Larry David looks downright unrecognizable in a new teaser trailer for his upcoming HBO movie "Clear History." Cruising down the highway sporting shoulder-length hair and a long, scraggly beard, the "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator looks like he just walked off the set of "Sons Of Anarchy."
The comedy, which is directed by David and "Superbad" director Greg Motolla, also stars Jon Hamm, Eva Mendes, Amy Ryan, Danny McBride, Kate Hudson and Michael Keaton.
According to EW, "David stars as Nathan, a hipster marketing exec who sells all his shares at a start-up over a fight with his boss (Jon Hamm, left), only to miss out on billions when the company’s new product—an electric car—becomes a smashing success." Much like "Curb," the project relied heavily on comedic improvisation.
"Clear History" premieres in August on HBO.

Watch: Sing Along With a Nearly Unrecognizable Larry David in the Teaser for HBO's 'Clear History'
20 May 2013 1:31 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
While there's still no word on whether or when there will be more "Curb Your Enthusiasm" in the future (a decision that seems to be entirely in Larry David's hands), HBO made fans of the "Seinfeld" co-creator very happy by announcing last year that the network would be producing a movie he wrote and stars in. "Clear History" is directed by Greg Mottola ("Superbad," "Adventureland") and co-stars Bill Hader, Jon Hamm, Philip Baker Hall, Kate Hudson and Danny McBride in the story of an electric car start-up executive who walks away from his share of the company after a fight with its founder (Hamm), only to be humiliated when it ends up being worth billions. He heads to an island off the Massachusetts coast to live under a new identity, only to have a chance at revenge when his former boss ends up vacationing in the same place.

Amazon Not Moving Forward with Zombieland the Series; Is Fan Hate to Blame?
16 May 2013 11:09 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
"Zombieland" co-writer/executive producer Rhett Reese took to Twitter to vent a bit upon hearing the news that Amazon will not be moving forward with the series. While reviews were definitely mixed, he seemed to place the blame on fans of the film who refused to embrace the concept.
Here are Reese's comments:
Our Zombieland series will not be moving forward on Amazon. Sad for everyone involved.
I'll never understand the vehement hate the pilot received from die-hard Zombieland fans. You guys successfully hated it out of existence.
Anyway, we did our best, and we're very proud of our team.

Amazon Passes on Zombieland Series

Amazon.com released a Zombieland pilot episode over their instant video service last month, but it has been revealed that they will not move forward with an order of additional episodes. The pilot was released along with a number of original pilots in April, but reaction to the episode was less than positive from many of those who had seen it.
While this is likely the end for Zombieland: The Series, it is possible that another company could pick up the show. If we hear anything else about the project moving forward, we’ll be sure to let readers know. If you’d like a preview of the pilot, we’ve included the official trailer below.

From Joss Whedon's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D to Rebel Wilson's Super Fun Night, next season's trailers have landed – but which is the most promising?
Upfronts, the Christmas Eve of Us television, are upon us. This is a sort of annual television cattle market, where networks show advertisers their wares for the upcoming autumn season in the hope of getting them to buy ad time "up front". Handily for us TV fans who aren't in charge of a whopping great ad budget, the networks also stick trailers for the majority of their new output online. Here are six of the most promising.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – ABC
Key personnel: Joss Whedon (executive producer)
Joss Whedon's return to the small screen after the monster success of Avengers Assemble will be another dip into Marvel mythology. This time, the Buffy creator tackles agency S.H.I.E.L.D., who are responsible »

'The Millers' preview video: Will Arnett moves in with mom Margo Martindale in new CBS comedy
15 May 2013 7:31 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
CBS is making big moves in its comedy programming this fall, expanding its Thursday block to two hours. To do so, it's relying on a handful of big names. Not only did the network place the new Robin Williams vehicle "The Crazy Ones" in the 9 p.m., but it's hoping Will Arnett's latest can bring some fresh eyes to the night as well.
In "The Millers," from "Raising Hope" creator Greg Garcia, Arnett stars as Nathan Miller, a recently divorced local news reporter whose excitement over his new single life is derailed after his dad Tom (Beau Bridges) leaves his mom Carol (Margo Martindale, "The Americans"), prompting Carol to move in with Nathan.
The preview of the show reveals its very much in line with the multi-camera comedies that, for better or worse, we've come to expect from CBS. Fans of the networks lineup will probably eat this up. »

ABC Upfronts Bring Monster Enemies and Monster Laughs
15 May 2013 7:10 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
ABC’s upfront Tuesday afternoon was an upbeat affair - not all upfronts are - with shoutouts to breakout hit Scandal and its star, Kerry Washington; to late-night host Jimmy Kimmel; and to now destined-to-retire Barbara Walters. Kimmel, as is traditional, did a few minutes' worth of jokes at the expense of the other networks (he referred to CBS as "smug @#%&!!!!s") and his own: He suggested that Splash, the diving-celeb reality show, should be replaced by one with an empty pool. To be called Splat. The clips introducing new shows were, on balance, pretty promising. These are the ones »

Fall TV 2013: Rebel Wilson's 'Super Fun Night' needs work and more ABC comedy snap judgments
14 May 2013 5:58 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
ABC's comedy development has had a rough couple of seasons. The network hasn't had a real breakout since the one-two punch of family comedies "Modern Family" (an ongoing mega hit) and "The Middle" (a modest but stable hit) premiered back in 2009.
Only three comedies launched since then remain on the air: "Suburgatory," which faded enough in Season 2 to be held back for midseason next year; "Last Man Standing," which plays to a base and is otherwise ignored on Friday nights; and "The Neighbors," which will join "Last Man" in its Friday irrelevance in the fall. That means ABC needs to find a few more real players and the network has planned an aggressive launch of four new comedies in the fall and one more on the bench for midseason.
Most of them are broader, family-oriented, concepts modeled more on "Modern Family" than failures like "Happy Endings" or "Don't Trust the B----. »
