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.

John Le Carré's A Delicate Truth novel could be adapted by talented William Monahan. The Ink Factory is apparently in advanced talks with the writer of The Departed, Kingdom of Heaven, Edge of Darkness and the upcoming Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. The story follows a man trying to uncover a conspiracy concerning a counter-terror operation and sources say that this is being developed with BBC Films. The book actually finds releases release today, April 25th. Deadline's managed to find a trailer which teases the book. Thanks for that. There's no doubt that Monahan fits this project perfectly. Now off to casting, who will fit into what? »

Andrew talks us through ten things he hopes to see in Syfy's in-development reboot of Terry Nation's Blake's 7...
The immediate problem any remake of Terry Nation’s dystopian space opera faces is that of the Battlestar Galactica in the room, disguised as an elephant (but does it know it’s an elephant?).
Blake’s 7 managed to broadcast its lead character being framed as a paedophile, the execution of a large gang of political dissenters by the police, and the swift despatch of an investigating legal official (and his partner) by state-endorsed assassination. All this in its first episode, broadcast on a Monday evening on BBC One at 7.45pm. Bang Goes the Theory is on at that time now.
Then we have, arguably, its best characters: lip-purser and anti-hero legend Ker Avon. Bring him back now and you’ve got to convince at »

With the recent disappointing confirmation that Sam Mendes will not return to helm Bond 24 following Skyfall, eyes now turn to just who will be able to match, or even top, the highest grossing feature in UK box office history, which is also widely considered to be the greatest Bond film ever. We’ve gathered together seven prime candidates who may be able to do the character justice, after an epic exploration into the fragile psyche and past of our bed-hopping Bond.
In no particular order, we begin with…
Nobody is hotter than Ben Affleck right now following his Oscar win with fact-based political thriller, Argo. His gritty crime flick, The Town, showed us he can handle some impressively thunderous action set-pieces in a grounded real world setting, much like his award-winning favourite which has just hit DVD/Blu-ray. Let us also not forget the emotional impact his »
