Lifetime Developing 'Silence of the Lambs' Series 'Clarice'
29 May 2012 7:01 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
It looks like "Hannibal" will have some company. Bryan Fuller, the creator of "Dead Like Me" and "Pushing Daisies," received a 13-episode order from NBC for his drama about the early days of Hannibal Lecter, one that will feature the not-yet-incarcerated psychiatrist/serial killer helping FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) solve crimes. Now, according to TV Guide, Lifetime is developing "Clarice," a drama that will follow a young Clarice Sterling fresh out of the FBI academy. As TV Guide notes, both "Hannibal" and "Clarice" are set in a pre-"The Silence of the Lambs" era before the characters have met: "As originally envisioned by [author Thomas] Harris, Clarice grew up in West Virginia until she was 10, when her father, a police officer, was shot and killed. She moves to her uncle's farm in Montana, but later runs away and winds up in an orphanage. After college, she applies to the FBI. »

Broadcast Networks Fall Sked: New and Old Genre Offerings
17 May 2012 12:20 PM, PDT | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »
With the broadcast networks done shoring up their fall schedule, let’s take a look at what genre fans (and the gays) have to look forward to:
While the global conspiracy themed series have fared poorly over the last few years, it’s not stopped the networks from trying them again and again. The problem for most of them is the ability to maintain the quality of the pilot. Expensive series like this sometimes suffer when the week-to-week production kicks in as well as the cost cutting. Still, NBC will give it try again, and hope everyone does not remember The Event from 2010.
From the fertile imaginations of J.J. Abrams comes Revolution. Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, »

'Last Resort': Scott Speedman and Andre Braugher go nuclear in ABC's new drama
15 May 2012 4:52 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Last Resort" doesn't exactly seem on-brand for ABC, but the trailer for the new series sure has us intrigued.
Andre Braugher ("Men of a Certain Age") stars as the captain of a nuclear submarine who receives possibly sketchy orders to launch a strike on Pakistan. When he refuses and another U.S. warship fires on the sub, he and his executive officer (Scott Speedman, "Felicity" and "Underworld") decide to go rogue and set up camp on a sparsely populated tropical island, which suddenly becomes the world's newest nuclear-armed nation.
The trailer is tense and features some good action, but ABC Entertainment president Paul Lee also touted its "big-tent" qualities to reporters on Tuesday (May 15), saying it tested well with women and men. As for us, we're curious to see how much of a gray area Braugher's character lives in. He comes off as very principled at the beginning of the teaser, »

Exclusive: Hugh Dancy Talks About NBC's Hannibal
10 May 2012 1:19 PM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Considering the popularity of Thomas Harris' novels about Dr. Hannibal Lecter and the movies that have come from out of them, there's already a keen interest in the planned Hannibal television series that NBC is producing with Bryan Fuller, whose writing on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Voyager led to creating his own shows Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies. (Fuller is also rebooting "The Munsters" for NBC.)
Unlike most television shows, NBC is skipping the "pilot" phase with Hannibal and has already committed to a full season of twelve episodes with plans to start shooting the first episode, directed by David Slade (30 Days of Night), in August, presumably for a mid-season launch.
At the moment, British actor Dancy is the only one who has been cast in the role of FBI agent Will Graham, previously played by William Peterson (in Manhunter) and Edward Norton (in Red Dragon »
Snuffed Out: TV Series That Were Gone Too Soon
3 May 2012 8:04 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
The fate of Gcb, one of our favorite new shows, will be decided in the next few weeks, and right now, there's a 50/50 chance it'll survive. If it does get canceled, at least it'll instantly become a member of what we'll call the Arrested Development/Freaks & Geeks/Firefly club. Shows that were canceled before their time, and have gained cult status since they left the airwaves.
All of those programs have rabid enthusiastic followers, and in the case of Firefly and Arrested Development, that fan enthusiasm has directly led to big screen resurrections.
We're hoping Gcb gets a renewal, but while we wait, let's take a look at a few other shows throughout the years that were unfairly snuffed out, and picture ... what might have been.

NBC’s Hannibal Won’t Initially Feature Lecter As The Villain?
20 April 2012 9:31 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
More details have emerged about just what we can expect from NBC’s new crime show Hannibal, the first new scripted series from the network that they were so keen on they agreed to bypass the need for a pilot.
Creator/showrunner Bryan Fuller has revealed to EW that the show will initially follow FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and genius psychoanalyst Hannibal Lecter (curiously, not yet cast) as a crime-fighting duo, teaming together to take down the worst criminals La has to offer.
“It’s before he was incarcerated, so he’s more of a peacock. There is a cheery disposition to our Hannibal. He’s not being telegraphed as a villain. If the audience didn’t know who he was, they wouldn’t see him coming. What we have is Alfred Hitchcock’s principle of suspense — show the audience the bomb under the table and let them »

Bryan Fuller Planning Seven Season Arc for ‘Hannibal’ Series
19 April 2012 3:27 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Although all three of Bryan Fuller’s previous TV creations (Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies) earned more than their fair share of critical accolades, that didn’t translate into a long shelf life – as only two of that trio even managed to secure a second season. Clearly, Fuller is banking on that not being the case with his next television production: a series based around the infamous Dr. Hannibal Lecter (simply called Hannibal).
Fuller is planning to tell the tale of how Dr. Lecter went from being a respected psychiatrist with a penchant for understanding the psychotic mind – to being exposed as an insane, cannibalistic killer – over the course of some seven seasons, beginning with Lecter’s time spent solving crimes with his eventual captor, FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy).
Here is how Fuller ...

What Do 'Dead Like Me,' 'Game Of Thrones' Have In Common?
17 April 2012 4:55 PM, PDT | AirlockAlpha.com | See recent Airlock Alpha news »
If you're a fan of HBO's hit series "Game of Thrones," then you're likely a fan of hard-knock cases for television series. You know, ones that had far shorter lives than they should have. Which is strange, because with nearly 4 million viewers each week, "Game of Thrones" likely isn't going anywhere for a while. But still, Ranker.com -- with 4 million unique visitors of its own and some 300,000 ranked lists from those visitors -- found that fans of "Game of Thrones" also liked other cult-favorite shows. Programs like Fox's "Arrested Development," or The CW's "Reaper," Showtime's fun and smart "Dead Like Me," or even another HBO show, "Carnivale." The problem with them? None of them lasted more than three seasons. According to Ranker, fans of "Game of Thrones" are the kind that go against »
First Look at the Munsters House in Mockingbird Lane
12 April 2012 11:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's our first look at the house of 1313 Mockingbird Lane in the upcoming new “imaginative reinvention” of The Munsters which will be called Mockingbirg Lane, and have a small resemblance to the classic ’60s show.
The series is being developed by Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller and filmmaker Bryan Singer. The look of the new series is going to be a bit edgier with a slightly darker take exploring origins of Herman and Lily Munster, and how they arrived at the famed 1313 Mockingbird Lane address.
Here's a few things Fuller had to say about the series in a recent interview with EW that you might be interested in reading,
We want this show to be an American Harry Potter. To have that sense of a magical world that you get to go to with your family and find stories told in a fantastical way that are instantly relatable. It’s »

Some of the Many Things That Have Happened Since One Tree Hill Premiered
4 April 2012 1:40 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
One Tree Hill finishes its ninth and final season tonight with an even 186 episodes. It's astonishing how long this show has been on. When One Tree Hill premiered, American armed forces had been in Iraq for six months. MySpace was one month old. The DaVinci Code was still only in hardback. Elliott Smith, Ronald Reagan, George Harrison, Johnny Carson, Julia Child, Hunter S. Thompson, Rosa Parks, and Betty Friedan were alive. Britney Spears had never been married. Kanye West had not released an album, Pluto was still a planet, and Friends was still on. Miranda and Steve weren't married yet on Sex and the City.These shows have come and gone during Oth's run: Nip/Tuck, Arrested Development, Joan of Arcadia, Deadwood, Dead Like Me, Pimp My Ride, Best Week Ever, Rescue Me, Heroes Lost, Ugly Betty, and Battlestar Galactica.

Bob: The Complete Series
1 April 2012 10:15 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Bob Newhart had a number of different shows in his career as one of television’s most popular comedians, and perhaps the oddest concept of them all was the one that cast him as a comic book writer doing his best to compete in a cutthroat publishing industry amidst a collection of executives, social outcasts, and his family. The show, simply titled Bob, scores a high number of laughs per episode by capitalizing on the abilities of its great cast which includes Bob, Cynthia Stevenson (Dead Like Me), Andrew Bilgore, and John Cygan. The show still relies on basic sitcom fare with very simple plots, but the comedy takes clever approaches to most of its jokes that reveal many current sitcoms, by comparison, as the overly broad trainwrecks that they are.

David Slade To Direct Pilot for Bryan Fuller’s ‘Hannibal’ Series
31 March 2012 6:58 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me creator Bryan Fuller is actively developing two new TV series for NBC, based on well-established properties: Mockingbird Lane, a rebooted take on 1960s classic The Munsters, and Hannibal, a TV show that catches up with Thomas Harris’ iconic serial killer character, pre-Red Dragon (but post-Hannibal Rising).
NBC has prioritized Hannibal for a premiere this fall, pushing the release of Mockingbird Lane back to 2013. The pilot episode for the former has officially secured a helmer in David Slade, to work alongside Fuller and co-executive producer Martha DeLaurentiis (who owns the screen rights to the Hannibal Lecter character).
Hugh Dancy (The Big C) will co-star in Hannibal as FBI agent Will Graham – previously featured in Red Dragon and Manhunter – during his early days at the agency, when he forms ...

'Criminal Minds' A.J. Cook glad to have come full circle

A.J. Cook is glad to be back where many fans feel she belongs.
After being let go from her role as FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit sleuth Jennifer "Jj" Jareau, the actress was brought back to CBS' long-running Wednesday crime drama "Criminal Minds" for its current season. With the show's seventh round nearing its end, and repeats shown regularly on both A&E Network and Ion, Cook feels as if she never left ... almost.
"Because of all that has happened in the past year, there's a huge sense of pride and accomplishment there," she reflects. "I'm happy to see the long way that Jj has come. I always think back to the first episode, and I don't even know who that character is anymore.
"She's grown so much, and we've watched her grow up on-screen in a way," Cook adds. "I feel like I've done a lot of growing up in »

Back in November of 2009, we brought you the news when Sam Worthington had reportedly agreed to star in the big-screen adaptation of the Radical Publishing comic book mini-series, The Last Days of American Crime. The series, written by Rick Remender with art by Greg Tocchini is being adapted for a feature film by Karl Gajdusek (Dead Like Me, Last Resort).
Now, Deadline reports that Anthony Mandler will make his big-screen directorial debut by helming the adaptation, which takes place in the not-too-distant future as a final response to terrorism and crime, the U.S. government plans in secret to broadcast a signal making it impossible for anyone to knowingly commit unlawful acts. To keep this from the public, the government creates a distraction, installing a new currency system using digital charge cards.

Music Video Director Anthony Mandler in Talks to Adapt Comic The Last Days Of American Crime
12 March 2012 6:56 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Anthony Mandler is in demand as a commercial/music video director, and hopes to parlay that status into a chance at the movies. Mandler has been linked to the Dracula reimagining Vlad and the Zac Efron vehicle Die in a Gunfight, but both are still in development. Instead, the graphic novel adaptation The Last Days of American Crime could jump the queue to become Mandler's feature debut. The script by Karl Gajdusek (Dead Like Me) is set in the future, when America develops the technology to eliminate the criminal impulse in response to a major terrorist attack: "The protagonist leads a heist team that plans to pull off a final job five days before the signal rubs out the criminal instinct." Sam Worthington signed on for a supporting role in 2009, and Deadline says Noomi Rapace was attached to star at one point. It is unclear if either actor is still involved with the project, »

'Felicity's' Scott Speedman sails to 'The Last Resort' at ABC
17 February 2012 3:28 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Former "Felicity" star Scott Speedman is set for his first TV role since The WB series ended in 2002. He'll star opposite Andre Braugher in ABC's drama pilot "The Last Resort."
The show, created by Karl Gajdusek ("Dead Like Me") and Shawn Ryan ("The Shield," "The Chicago Code"), follows the crew of a nuclear sub that goes rogue after disregarding a suspicious-sounding order. The crew docks on a small island, takes over a Nato outpost and declares itself an independent nation (with nuclear capabilities).
Speedman will play the sub's executive officer, Deadline reports. The show has also cast Camille de Pazzis as a scientist at the Nato station (Braugher is playing the captain of the sub). Speedman has concentrated on movies since "Felicity" ended, appearing in the first two "Underworld" movies and "The Strangers"; he currently co-stars in "The Vow."
