'The Goodwin Games' Scott Foley: From 'Scandal' high drama to Fox comedy

20 May 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

On Fox's comedy "The Goodwin Games," premiering Monday, May 20, Scott Foley plays an overachieving, overextended surgeon, the eldest of three, who are called home after their dad's death.

Their dad, Beau Bridges, was a math professor who somehow managed to amass $23 million but will not bequeath it to his adult children until they learn to act like a family.

Foley plays Henry, a rather humorless sort, who "has a habit of keeping everything bottled up," he says. "He was the oldest son, as I am myself, of three siblings. He always felt he had to look after his siblings when his mother passed away and the family drifted apart, and they all come back together for his father's funeral."

After a few years of dramas, Foley was itching to do a comedy again. As well known as Foley has become on TV, he also spent lean years at a bunch of disparate jobs. »

IFC Midnight Scores a Knock-Out at Cannes with Raze

18 May 2013 6:33 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Fresh off its recent debut at Tribeca in NYC, Raze hit the French Riviera for Cannes and quickly landed North American distro with IFC Midnight. No release details are available yet, but we're sure to hear more once the dust settles.

Per Deadline, the deal for the film was negotiated by Jeff Deutchman, Director of Acquisitions & Productions for Sundance Selects/IFC Films, with Nate Bolotin of Xyz Films on behalf of the filmmakers. Celluloid Dreams is currently selling the film’s international rights at Cannes.

Jonathan Sehring, President of Sundance Selects/IFC Films, said: “Josh Waller has crafted the most intense and unique action film that we have seen in a long time. With the magnificent Zoe Bell leading a strong female cast, Raze delivers and then some. We can’t wait to unleash it upon audiences.”

Fox 2013-2014 Full Schedule Preview With Trailers And Images

14 May 2013 10:12 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

Fox has one of its better slates coming your way with the new season, especially if you take the midseason shows into account. Some of these shows may not jump out at you now as must-see, but some of them are going to take over, if I’m any judge anyway.

Clear showcase offerings Dads, Almost Human, and Us & Them are guaranteed to take off early. Almost Human has J.J. Abrams recognition to pull people in, though it looks to be a show that could flounder after a few episodes, even if I hope it doesn’t. The other two are going to become hits. Unfortunately, we have to wait until mid-season for the Gavin & Stacey remake.

Rake also looks like a winner, as long as the translation can be made to work as an Americanized product, and the show actually delivers what made the Australian original so brilliant.

13 May 2013 5:22 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

©2013 Fox Broadcasting Co. Cr: Fox

On Monday Fox unveiled their primetime slate for the 2013-2014 television season to the national advertising community during its annual Programming Presentation at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. The network announced 5 new comedies, 4 new dramas, a first event series, and an animated comedy from Seth MacFarlane.

Some of today’s most inventive directors working in film have smoothly segued from motion pictures to series TV and their new shows have found a home at Fox. What caught my attention were the sci-fi, fantasy shows bearing the names of Abrams, Shyamalan, Kurtzman and Orci.

Among the network’s lineup is M. Night Shyamalan’s new event series Wayward Pines. Set to premiere in 2014 and based on the best-selling novel, “Pines,” by Blake Crouch, Wayward Pines is an intense, mind-bending thriller in which nothing is what it seems. Also on the Fox schedule is the »

All Hail the Official Trailers for Sleepy Hollow and Almost Human

13 May 2013 5:20 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

Of course I was excited about these new Fox shows as soon as I learned about their Fringe provenance, but Wait Until You See These Trailers. It’s hard to get a real feel for a show just from the synopsis, but I’m including the new upgraded synopses for each so that you have all the information.

It appears that Sleepy Hollow will premiere early fall on Mondays at 9, following Bones at 8. After an initial run of Bones episodes, Almost Human will take the Mondays at 8 slot, in “late fall”.

But Oh The Trailers.

Mamie Gummer, the star of The CW's cancelled medical drama Emily Owens, MD, hasn't wasted any time finding new work.

Gummer has been cast in Backstrom, a new dramatic pilot for CBS. It's based on the book series by Leif G.W. Persson and revolves around Evert Backstrom; an overweight, offensive, irascible detective, as he tries and fails to change his self-destructive behavior.

The project stars Rainn Wilson (The Office) and veterans of other cancelled shows such as Dennis Haysbert (The Unit), Kristoffer Polaha (Ringer), Beatrice Rosen (Cuts), Page Kennedy (Blue Mountain State), Thomas Dekker (The Secret Circle), and Camryn Manheim (Ghost Whisperer).

What do you think? If Backstrom gets picked up, will you be tuning in to support Gummer?

Minka Kelly Will Play a Hot Cop in J.J. Abrams’ Human TV Show

11 March 2013 10:34 PM, PDT | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »

From hot cheerleader to hot cop. Works, I guess. Former “Friday Night Lights” star Minka Kelly has joined the cast of the J.J. Abrams-produced new sci-fi cop show “Human”. So what’s it about? Glad you asked: Human is an action-packed buddy cop show set in the near future when all Lapd officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids. Kelly joins the previously cast Michael Ealy (Common Law), Lili Taylor (Six Feet Under), Michael Irby (The Unit) and Mackenzie Crook (Pirates of the Caribbean). Kelly’s character is Valerie Stahl, a “police officer with a strong set of morals”. I guess that’s better than a cop with no morals. Or a weak set of morals. The show is definitely sci-fi, but didn’t TV try this premise like a dozen times already? Kelly last starred in ABC’s “Charlie’s Angels” reboot, but that show only lasted one season. »
