A&E's 'Longmire' grounds 'Battlestar Galactica's' Katee Sackhoff
14 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
One wouldn't think that the least populated county in the nation's least populated state would be fertile ground for a weekly crime drama. But "Longmire," A&E Network's engrossing new ode to frontier justice, uses its sparse setting to great effect while not skimping out on the whodunits.
Based on Craig Johnson's popular Walt Longmire mystery novels, "Longmire," premiering Sunday, June 3, finds the titular sheriff of Wyoming's Absaroka County in a truly dark place. He's still grieving the loss of his wife and has pretty much checked out emotionally, not really being present for his job and largely avoiding his grown daughter, Cady (Cassidy Freeman). He goes through the motions, despite the efforts of longtime friend Henry Standing Bear (Lou Diamond Phillips) to break him out of his funk. The situation is not helped when Walt learns one of his deputies -- the fabulously named Branch Connally (Bailey Chase »

Katee Sackhoff on 'Longmire' and getting rid of her 'Chronicles of Riddick' muscle for the new show
17 hours ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Katee Sackhoff, best known as hotshot pilot Kara “Starbuck” Thrace in Battlestar Galactica, has traded the final frontier for the plains and mountains of rural Wyoming. In A&E’s new TV series Longmire, Sackhoff delves into the Western genre as deputy Victoria “Vic” Moretti.
Adapted from a book series by Craig Johnson, Longmire centers on Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor), sheriff in the fictional Absaroka County. Vic is the new girl in town, adjusting to a transition from her detective job in Philadelphia.
We caught up with Sackhoff a couple days before Sunday’s premiere of Longmire (at 10 p.m. »

Review: Fallen Skies Season One
19 hours ago | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Everywhere you look, dystopia stories abound. Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games became the movie event of the spring while the most talking about new NBC series is J.J. Abrams’ Revolution. Little surprise then that basic cable’s ratings darling in 2011 was TNT’s Falling Skies. With the show’s second season debuting June 17, the first season has been released on DVD from Warner Home Entertainment. The premise is not necessarily an original one: aliens have arrived and have largely conquered Earth while small bands of resistance fighters struggle to free humanity. What the aliens want remains a mystery.
The series, which has been in development since 2009, was conceived by Bob Rodat, writer of Saving Private Ryan, and has been produced by Steven Spielberg, who enhanced many of Rodat’s notions. The showrunner for season one is my old pal Mark Verheiden (who handled a different dystopia on Battlestar Galactica), who »

TV Review: Strong Characters, Interesting Setting Elevate ‘Longmire’
22 hours ago | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Taking a modern day cowboy character from an Elmore Leonard novel and giving him his own show turned out to be a smart move for FX when they green-lit “Justified,” so one can hardly blame A&E for attempting a similar transition with Craig Johnson’s “Longmire” mystery novels, now a weekly series. Despite the obvious comparison with the Emmy-winning FX hit, that shouldn’t be taken as a criticism since this show completely stands on its own. It’s smart, fun, engaging, and remarkably well-written & performed.
TV Rating: 4.0/5.0
Australian actor Robert Taylor (“The Matrix”) stars as the title character, Walt Longmire, the kind of rough, gruff Western sheriff that one wants on their side and never wants to cross. He’s the law in Absaroka County, Wyoming, which may not sound like much until you realize that it’s a bizarre crossroads of the world, an area in which Native Americans, »

Longmire's Katee Sackhoff: New A&E Series Is "a Throwback to the Old Westerns"
1 June 2012 5:28 PM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Katee Sackhoff has traded in her viper flight suit for a badge and gun.
The Battlestar Galactica alum stars alongside Robert Taylor in A&E's new drama Longmire, a modern-day western that follows the life of the recently widowed Sheriff Walt Longmire and his deputy, Victoria Moretti, as they navigate the varying degree of crimes — from the most mundane (shooting sheep) to the most gruesome (sex trafficking) — in a small town in Wyoming.
Check out the TV shows we lost this year
Where Walt is quiet, yet dedicated and unflappable, Vic offers the fish-out-of-water comedic timing in this slower-paced, heavily character-driven drama, which also stars Bailey Chase as another deputy looking to unseat Walt as the Sheriff, Lou Diamond Phillips as Walt's liaison to the crimes that take place on the Indian reservation, and Smallville's Cassidy Freeman as Walt's daughter Cady.

The A&E drama series Longmire, based on the Walt Longmire mystery novels by best-selling author Craig Johnson, is a contemporary crime thriller set in Big Sky country.

During this exclusive interview with Collider, actress Katee Sackhoff talked about how this show came about and how it came down to either Longmire or the ABC fantasy series Once Upon A Time (she was up for Jennifer Morrison’s role), how she identifies with her character, and what she enjoys about working with this cast. »

The big events of the season 7 finale also include a wedding and the departure of Prentiss (Paget Brewster).
The bank robbers include Battlestar Galactica favourite Tricia Helfer as Izzy Rogers alongside Evan Jones (Brothers & Sisters, October Road) as Chris Stratton. The pair seem to be in charge of the bank robberies but is there someone else controlling and watching what they are doing? »

'Hulk' TV series still in play at ABC -- just not this year
15 May 2012 5:49 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
ABC and Marvel haven't produced any live-action series since Marvel became part of the Disney empire -- but that could change in the next year or so.
ABC Entertainment president Paul Lee says an Incredible Hulk series is still in development at the network, and Marvel will also "develop aggressively" for other networks as well. A series based on The Punisher was set up at Fox this season but didn't get to the pilot stage.
"Of course we're immensely proud to be in a company with 'The Avengers,'" Lee says. "... 'The Hulk' is in development. It wasn't going to be ready for this season, but we hope it will be ready for next season." David Eick ("Battlestar Galactica") and director Guillermo del Toro have been attached to the Hulk series.
Lee, who also runs ABC Studios, says ABC will take Marvel shows that are "appropriate to our brand," but »

Tricia Helfer on Balancing Sci-Fi and Serious Drama: 'It's Fun to Scream as You're Killing Someone' (Video)
15 May 2012 4:31 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
Since making her acting breakthrough as Cylon Number Six in the 2003 reboot of Battlestar Galactica, Tricia Helfer has become an icon of the science-fiction world. In her current project, Tron: Uprising, she’s not just a major character, she’s literally playing The Grid itself – the soothing voice of an oppressive world that exists within Flynn’s computer. But despite locking down a decidedly more tangible role on NBC drama series The Firm, Helfer is eager to embrace both genre fare and traditional dramatic material.

Denette Wilford: CBC Goes Big And Hits Home
15 May 2012 4:56 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
The demise of the CBC has always been a source of amusement. Hardy har har. This year, however, the Canadian broadcaster is in on the joke. Sure, it may have cancelled ratings hit Battle of the Blades -- along with Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!, but it clearly had no choice. Blades was too expensive to produce, while the rights to the game shows were equally costly.
During last week's upfront presentation, Kirstine Stewart, executive vice-president of English services, said the CBC was "moving forward" -- and she wasn't kidding. The broadcaster will continue to do what it's always done -- support 100 per cent Canadian content while entertaining its loyal fans; just in a less extravagant way (unlike this year's season preview, which was the biggest I've ever seen from the network).
Arctic Air star Pascale Hutton loved the spectacle. "It's this idea that we really need to promote our shows and promote our talent, »

Canadian Drama Arctic Air Gets a Second Season
11 May 2012 11:40 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Arctic Air is coming back for a second season.
The Canadian adventure-drama series Arctic Air has been renewed for a second season. The show, which airs on CBC, is centered on a Yellowknife-based maverick airline.
The first season of Arctic Air was watched by the largest audience for a new CBC drama series in 15 years. According to a press release, it premiered to more than 1.2 million viewers in January and then drew an average audience of 965,000 viewers each week.
Over the course of the first season almost 7.3 million viewers tuned in to some part of the program, according to the CBC. That is about 22% of the population or about 1 in 5 Canadians.
“With a star-studded cast, stunning aerial footage and the incredible natural beauty of the Northwest Territories, we were confident that Canadians would make Arctic Air fly high. This is a terrific achievement and we congratulate everyone involved with the production of this outstanding show, »
