Exclusive: In a competitive situation with multiple bidders, A+E Studios has landed exclusive rights to No. 1 New York Times-bestselling author Sue Grafton’s alphabet book series featuring private investigator protagonist Kinsey Millhone. Under the pact, the studio can develop and produce the entire library of Grafton’s wildly popular alphabet mysteries for television.
This marks the first time the screen rights to the book series has been made available, with Steve Humphrey, Grafton’s husband for more than 40 years, serving as executive producer on the adaptations.
A+E Studios, led by president Barry Jossen and EVP Tana Jamieson, is fast-tracking the project. “We are actively speaking with interested platforms and seeking a showrunner for the series, as well as the perfect actress to embody the coveted lead role of Kinsey Millhone,” Jossen said. “Sue Grafton is the ultimate storyteller who spent decades entertaining readers through her rich characters and spellbinding mysteries.

No woman in her right mind can resist William Shatner's invitation for a drink in the club car. No One!
Today's "Now That's ShActing" clip comes to us from a 1979 made-for-tv disaster pic called Disaster on the Coastliner. Co-Starring Lloyd Bridges, Raymond Burr and my favorite Latin grammar actor E.G. Marshall, DotC was directed by Richard Sarafian, whose other work includes a TV remake of Splendor in the Grass with Melissa Gilbert and something called Lolly-Madonna XXX.
Check out the moment when Shat looks directly in the camera lens! What a bold choice.
This clip is part of the continuint Shatnerpalooza!
What is Shatnerpalooza, you ask? It is a time where we step back and honor the sweetest thing to drip down from Canada since maple syrup.
The good people at Epix are counting down to their debut of The Captains, a documentary about the different men and women...

I have a bone to pick with many of today's films critics. Every time a director shows up at a film festival with a slow paced, meandering film critics of all stripes immediately compare that filmmaker to the legendary Terrence Malick, a filmmaker who is perhaps the most misunderstood of the last 50 years.
Sometimes the comparisons are obvious and actually make sense. Andrew Dominik's The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford did seem to be the bastard child of Badlands and Days of Heaven, but most of the time, as with recent efforts by New York filmmaker Kelly Reichardt and this year's Sundance film Little Birds, the Malick reference seems tangential at best. It seems to simply be shorthand for a movie that is meandering in narrative and lugubriously paced.
This makes me wonder which Terrence Malick these critics are referencing. It certainly can't be the...
