Watch: Teasers For New Seasons Of HBO's 'The Newsroom' & 'Boardwalk Empire'
4 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Though the phenomenon of big name stars finding a home on cable television has lost the shock value it once held, it’s still an event that makes me pause and nod my head thoughtfully. Cable television no longer represents an elephant graveyard where celebrities go so that may disappear into obscurity. Instead it’s this new frontier filled with unlimited possibilities and a chance to break out and try new things. Take, for example, the newest celebrity to find a home on cable television, Billy Crystal. The legendary comedian is teaming up with Matt Nix (creator of “Burn Notice”) and Larry Charles who directed “Borat” and episodes of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” to bring to life a new comedy series. The show, called “The Comedians,” has received a pilot order from FX and Larry Charles is expected to direct it. The show will center on Billy Crystal who will play »

Teaser Poster Hits For Kellan Lutz & Renny Harlin’s ‘Hercules 3D’
7 hours ago | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The days when director Renny Harlin was the go-to-guy for big-screen action and thrills are sadly long gone. The man who gave us enjoyable madness of Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger and The Long Kiss Goodnight has saw his stock plummet following the expensive disaster Cutthroat Island, which in all honesty wasn’t all that bad despite notoriously bankrupting Carolco Pictures. Lately, Harlin’s stepped into the world of TV. Directing episodes of Burn Notice, White Collar and the upcoming Graceland but he’ll be hoping to kick-start his cinematic career with one of two Hercules projects on the horizon.
Hoping to beat Brett Ratner and Dwayne Johnston’s Hercules: The Thracian Wars to the punch, Harlin’s Hercules 3D will star Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz as the mythic and heroic Greek god. The film is currently shooting with a supporting cast that includes Scott Adkins, Johnathon Schaech, Liam McIntyre, Rade Serbedzija, »

Billy Crystal is headed to FX.
The network has announced that this legendary comedian will star in a single-camera comedy aptly-titled The Comedians. It will center on an older comic who gets paired with a younger/edgier star for a late-night sketch show.
Sounds a bit like Nashville, just set in the world of comedy.

Billy Crystal starring in 'The Comedians' pilot at FX, Larry Charles to direct
22 May 2013 12:35 PM, PDT | 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.

Daniel Sunjata and Vanessa Ferlito Preview Graceland
21 May 2013 5:59 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
It's nearly summer, which means it's nearly the season of USA.
With such established hits as Suits and Burn Notice making their returns in just a few weeks, the network will also be offering up a new series titled Graceland.
Based on a true story, it sticks six federal agents - from the FBI, DEA and Customs - in a home previously owned by an Elvis-loving drug dealer. What kind of tone should viewers expect from the drama, which premieres June 6?
We asked that question of Daniel Sunjata on the red carpet of last week's USA Upfront:
Daniel Sunjata Interview
We also caught up with Vanessa Ferlito, who explained why Graceland is unlike anything seen on television before:

The series premiere June 6 at 10/9c and you can watch the first Graceland trailer now! »

It’s almost summer and that means that cable has new seasons of Burn Notice, True Blood, and other summer fare on tap while the broadcast networks go into semi-hibernation because they figure that viewers are busy. The CW is no different, but this summer they’re hoping that there are enough improv comedy fans to help propel their Whose Line is it Anyway reboot toward success, and now we’ve got our first look at the show with this clip that is heavy on both 90210 fueled corporate synergy and funny.
As you can see from the video (above), little has changed from the version of Whose Line that ran from 1998-2006 on ABC with Drew Carey as moderator and the original version of the show that ran in the UK from 1988-1998. Even the show’s stars – Ryan ...
