EDITOR'S NOTE: WE'RE BACK IN THE SWING....I THINK.
HERE'S A TV HODGEPODGE.
Sci-Fi Sets Sights on Darwin's Radio & Children
SCI FI Channel has partnered with Michael De Luca on his first-ever television endeavor. Two best-selling Del Rey novels by Greg Bear, Darwin’s Radio and its sequel Darwin's Children, will be developed as an 8 hour, original miniseries that portrays what happens when the next step of human evolution threatens our perception of who we are and possibly our own existence.
EDITOR’S NOTE: THESE ARE EXCELLENT BOOKS. (UNIMPORTANT SIDE-BAR….I JUST STARTED ANOTHER GREG BEAR BOOK AS MY FIRST POST-HP6 TOME. BEAR IS QUITE GOOD).
Darwin's Children is the latest miniseries event to go into active development at SCI FI. The Channel also recently announced development deals with Ridley Scott, Frank Darabont, Bryan Singer and Dean Devlin, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Gale Anne Hurd.
In the 21st century, caught between fear and greed, humanity is about to give birth to a new kind of child. An ancient retrovirus suddenly becomes infectious, causing women to give birth to horribly mutated stillborns. The true mystery begins when these women discover they remain pregnant, carrying a new type of being. In this sweeping drama, evolution has brought about a new generation of children, born with unique abilities. They learn faster, grow quicker and are able to communicate and influence behavior in strange and ominous ways. Society becomes divided into two opposing groups – the fearful "old generation" and the "virus babies." Fear ultimately drives the government to quarantine the new generation as families are torn apart and a new world order emerges.
Prequel to 'Dove' Takes Flight at CBS
Reflects Shift in Strategy
CBS is negotiating to mount a long-in-development miniseries prequel to the 1989 CBS mini "Lonesome Dove" as part of the network's modified strategy for its Sunday night movie block.
In response to competition from ABC's Sunday powerhouse "Desperate Housewives," CBS is tweaking its strategy of running traditional women-in-jeopardy, female-driven made-for-TV movies. Instead, CBS is turning to younger-skewing action-oriented and event programming.
CBS plans to bill the project, based on Larry McMurtry's 1997 novel "Comanche Moon," as a big event sometime during the 2005-06 season, sources said. CBS declined to comment on "Moon."
"Moon" would be the fifth televised adaptation from Mr. McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove" series, which profiles the gritty and often tragic lives of two former Texas Rangers turned cattlemen. The first installment was the eight-hour "Dove," based on the 1985 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. It starred Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones and won seven Emmys, two Golden Globes, a WGA award and a Peabody Award as well as stellar ratings and critical acclaim. Three more "Dove" miniseries followed, as did the Rysher Entertainment syndicated drama series "Lonesome Dove: The Series," which lasted two seasons, from 1994 to 1996, and produced 44 one-hour episodes. (After the first season, the series was tweaked and the name changed to "Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years.")
At CBS's executive session during last week's Television Critics Association summer press tour, Nina Tassler, president of CBS Entertainment, talked about how the network is changing its programming tactics on Sundays."Outside of opening the season with [the miniseries 'Martha Behind Bars,'], the initial slate will be heavy with action-adventure and suspense thrillers," she said. "We see these movies as a good alternative to the 'Desperate Housewives' audience on ABC and very compatible for promotion in our Sunday NFL broadcasts."
The airline disaster movie "Mayday" is scheduled to air Oct. 2, while "The Hunt for the BTK Strangler" is set for Oct. 9. The terrorist-plot-in-a-football-stadium thriller "Time Bomb" is scheduled for Oct. 16, with the Halloween-themed "Vampire Bats" running Oct. 30 and the four-hour "Category 7: The End of the World" airing in two parts Nov. 6 and 13.
"Martha Behind Bars," which profiles the trial and conviction of lifestyle mogul Martha Stewart, premieres Sept. 25.
At the press tour Ms. Tassler said that with the network aging down and the strong ratings performance in the 2004-05 season of TV movies such as "Category 6: Day of Destruction" in November, "Spring Break Shark Attack" in March and "Locusts" in April, it made sense to further shake up CBS's miniseries slate for the upcoming season and bring younger viewers to the network.
"We really took advantage of the opportunity to do different genre films," she said, noting that CBS had to come up with a "balanced schedule" when it comes to its TV movies. "It's about being able to offer suspense thrillers, high-octane action-adventures. The popcorn movies turned out to be a lot of fun for us."
Ms. Tassler called CBS's planned two-part miniseries on the life of Pope John Paul II a "papal page-turner," which caused one critic to question how sensitively CBS would handle the story of the late pontiff."It really tracks in a very personal and emotional way how he got his calling," Ms. Tassler said of the pope. "It's a very compelling and relevant story. And I call it a papal page-turner because the backdrop in which this story takes place is very dangerous and suspenseful. EDITOR’S NOTE: A ‘PAPAL PAGE-TURNER’ EH? MARKETING PEOPLE HAVE NO SENSE OF THE RIDICULOUS, DO THEY? (OR RATHER, THEY DO, BUT THEY DON’T REALIZE THE RIDICULOUS IS THEM).
Friends to reunite for Thanksgiving?
Cue the Rembrandts, Fill-up the Fountain, For Christ Sake get Schwimmer dancing lessons!....a "Friends" reunion may be on the cards.
"I can see us coming back together to do something like a reunion show. Not a reunion, but, 'what are the Friends doing this Thanksgiving? as if they're always together", Courteney Cox tells the New York Daily News.
Here's Mrs Arquette's idea. "Monica and Chandler would come in from the country with their two kids, who are a couple of years old now. I think their story is continuing, even if we're not watching."
First up for Cox though, she says, is a new Nick Cassavetes-penned "drama ("Rehab," about a recovering alcoholic) for HBO, and," she says, "if that goes, it will be my next series."EDITOR’S NOTE: ISN’T IT A LITTLE TOO SOON FOR A ‘FRIENDS’ REUNION? I MEAN, THEY HAVEN’T REALLY BEEN GONE LONG ENOUGH TO BE MISSED, HAVE THEY?
Spike vs. Superman?
Blondie Boy's returning to the Box - again, at the Frog. Former "Buffy" and "Angel" star James Marsters has signed on the straight line to play the evil Brainiac in a multi-episode stint on TV's "Smallville". EDITOR’S NOTE: I’M NOT EVEN A WHEDON-HEAD, AND I AM GROOVING TO THIS CASTING!
Marsters will wear the trousers of college professor Milton Fine, alter ego of the classic Superman foe Brainiac. Possessed of a vast, superior knowledge limited only by his hubris and emotions, Brainiac comes to earth armed with a secret about Clark's biological family and the truth about Krypton's demise. Brainiac's presence in Smallville will have a devastating effect on Clark and Lex's already deteriorating friendship.
Marsters makes his first appearance on the show in the episode airing October 13.
Also, veteran actor Tom Wopat will reunite with "Dukes of Hazzard" co-star John Schneider, who plays Jonathan Kent on the show, for one episode. Wopat will play a state senator who was a boyhood friend of Kent.
Henstridge Joins COMMANDER Cast
SPECIES and THE WHOLE TEN YARDS' star Natasha Henstridge has joined the cast of ABC's upcoming series COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. The political drama stars Geena Davis as the first female U.S. president.
Henstridge will play the assistant to the speaker of the House, played by Donald Sutherland
Numbers right for 'Windfall' drama on NBC
NBC has ordered hourlong drama series "Windfall" from Regency Television.
"Windfall" was originally developed at Fox, which ultimately passed on the pilot. NBC decided to take a second look at the drama, which chronicles what happens when a group of 19 friends pool their ticket money and win a record $386 million lottery.
Laurie McCarthy ("CSI: Miami") is executive producer. "With its dueling themes of dreams coming true and 'be careful what you wish for,' 'Windfall' is both fun and provocative," NBC president of entertainment Kevin Reilly said. "We feel like we found a diamond-in-the-rough when this pilot became available." EDITOR’S NOTE: HOW SAD IT MUST BE AT NBC WHEN THEY ARE PICKING UP FOX’S SLOPPY SECONDS. (SMIRK)
