NBC Buys Western Created By Sean Hayes

EXCLUSIVE: Westerns continue being a hot genre in the TV systems. NBC, the very first broadcast internet to leap around the trend inside a large way this past year using the pilot order to Renovation, has bought an untitled Western project from Sean Hayes’ Hazy Mills production company. Friday Evening Lights alumna Kerry Ehrin is writing the project, that is occur the 1880s and focuses on Jacob Morris, a youthful, eccentric New England physician of mental disorders who moves to some primitive Western town in the feet from the Colorado Rockies. There he immediately sticks out because he doesn’t fight having a gun but instead uses new ideas which are being practiced within the East. A dark tone from the show mixes drama and comedy, similar to the series Ehrin has most lately done, NBC’s Being a parent. Ehrin, Hayes and the Hazy Mills creating partner Todd Milliner will executive produce for Universal TV. Milliner stated he and Hayes have been speaking about doing Western for some time but didn’t think a broadcast network would go for this. They were given urged through the recent curiosity about the genre but mostly by NBC’s decision to get their drama project Grimm to series. Grimm, a cop procedural with fairy-tale elements, was initially produced by Hazy Mills 5 years ago if this was setup at CBS. Milliner and Hayes had almost lost hope when NBC acquired Grimm to pilot after which to series captured. “Grimm was the oddest idea we've had,” Milliner accepted. “(The pickup) shows that you ought to carry on even when it’s not the best time or even the right network. Eventually it will likely be.” Hayes and Milliner lately pitched the concept for that Western to NBC, which loved it. The network recommended Ehrin like a author, and also the project joined together rapidly. This is just one of three projects Hazy Mills has within the works at NBC, where it's under a unique deal. Others r a comedy starring Hayes because the 1 / 2 of a gay couple having a teen daughter, that is being compiled by Peter Tolan, and game show pilot Celebrity Game Evening, featuring celebs crashes people’s weekly game nights.

'Terra Nova' Reviews: Must-See TV Or Potential Extinct?

Monday night's two-hour debut of "Terra Nova" sits unwatched throughout my Dvr, a victim from the puppy who needs a significant amount of attention after which it my wife's insistence whenever we would watch any TV it'd have absolutely nothing associated with dinosaurs and everything associated with finally creating ground on Leslie Knope's political ambitions in Pawnee. The following day of, the internet is abuzz over "Terra Nova," though not necessarily for reasons which will make me think my partner and my dog saved me from just as one early adopter from the show I am likely to be itching to check out each week. I plan to watch tonight, but I'll approach the Dvr with caution. Anybody of the perception that Fox has offered up a "Lost"-like time-travel mystery will be fully aware the show is trying to draw not just brainiacs nevertheless the four-quadrant census crucial in Hollywood (and mega-budget TV series). "A rollicking, old-fashioned action-adventure sci-fantasy family saga, 'Terra Nova' strove mightily to supply something for everyone," written Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly. "You could have the stress 'Terra Nova' was under to produce this show attract as much demos as you can.In . The show, it seems, can be as much "Swiss Family Robinson" since it is "Stargate": a family group around 2149 flees their dying earth and travels 80 million years in time to the planet inside the amount of the dinosaurs. You will discover action set-pieces, but furthermore plenty of time allotted to Jim (Jason OMara) and also the wife Elisabeth's (Shelley Conn) strained marriage as well as the difficulties of taking their three kids around the journey of epic proportions. Personally, the key factor for "Terra Nova" will probably be the actual way it handles its central mythology. "[I]n a enjoyable 'Mad Max'-ant twist, you will discover some renegade forces made available, trying to consider lower Terra Nova," describes Tim Goodman in the Hollywood Reporter. "Individuals would be the Sixers so referred to as since they showed up the sixth Pilgrimage. That is another welcome element to Terra Nova. Who sent the Sixers later on? How come they wish to kill Taylor [Stephen Lang] and stop Terra Nova?" Any talk from the mythological component in the Tv program leaves us just a little intrigued and quite a few wary (and weary): for every "Lost" you will discover half-dozen time sucks like "Jericho" (dribbling a basketball a basketball out its unveils too progressively), "4400" (uncorking its large reveal after which it finding it had nothing left to convey) and "The Large EventInch (just, honestly, a freaking mess completely through). The recapper at Vulture nicely summarizes every one of these ideas simply because they interact with Fox's new show. "[The] pilot was at its most enticing if the taunted us with particulars in the Sixers," Chadwick Matlin written. "The man versus dino-character stuff is ok, however when the show will grab us, it will likely be because we don't know whose side to think about. No principals in 'Terra Nova' are compelling enough to earn our allegiance instantly. With the finish in the episode, I used to be already rooting for just about any Sixers coup, if possibly so existence in Terra Nova would get a little more interesting. If theres anything I trust the authors to flesh out, it's the Sixers-Nova conflict: nothing makes better TV than two warring tribes. Just request 'Lost.'"

The Complete Nikita Season 2 Report: "Mikita" on the Run, Solo Alex and Powerful Amanda

Maggie Q Nikita moves to Friday nights on The CW this fall, but that's not the only change in store for Season 2. Although 'shippers will find that "Mikita" is the new reality going into the second season, romance is the last thing on Alex's mind. Over at Division, everything is settling into a new order after last season's upheaval: the always stylish Amanda is in charge, Percy is a little lonely, and Birkhoff has relocated. Fall Preview: Get scoop on your favorite returning shows "I saw the second season as a paradigm shift," showrunner Craig Silverstein told reporters Monday. "Every character has shifted almost musical chairs-style to a different position of power or lack thereof. It's a little spy Game of Thrones-type thing. ... There are a lot more characters now, so there are a lot more people to kill." Maggie Q, who plays Nikita, added, "One of the themes this season is, 'Can your loved ones be your weakest link? Will they at the end of the day be the thing that doesn't allow you to reach your goals and it actually hurts you?' ... These characters [are] looking for their home, trying to find their home again, or a semblance of a home. Some of them have had one and want to get back to it, some of them never had, like Nikita." Check out what else the cast and crew revealed about the new season, which premieres on Friday, Sept. 23 at 8/7c. [WARNING: Minor spoilers from the premiere will be revealed below] Fall TV: Get the day-by-day schedule Nikita (Maggie Q), From rogue to romanticLast season: Nikita was a woman on a mission: take down Division with the help of her protege and mole, Alex. "There are things she's adamant about and a cause that she was willing to die for basically," Q said.This season: "Now we've introduced this other dynamic of this person that she loves and that has now happened for her," explained Q. "You'll see a bit of a role reversal with them where Michael is now hell-bent on their mission and she's a little bit like, 'Well what about being a couple and being normal and living on an island' ... We're going to see her a little bit more as a woman, wanting things that normal people want. I don't know if that's going to be possible for her, but she wants a life with this man."More back story planned: "In the episode we're shooting now, there's ... Michael and Nikita before they realized what they felt. I think she hated him, I think she hated everyone, and she certainly hated the person who was trying to justify her existence inside an agency." Silverstein added. "You're going to get a look back at recruit Nikita training under Michael. ... It's a lot of like The Nikita Files. There are moments that we know happened [like when] Nikita escaped from Division. She faked her death and escaped from Division. We're going to see the mission she did it on. We're going to see the consequence that left behind for another agent." Michael (Shane West), From agent to action guyLast season: The dedicated Division agent took a while to crack a smile but had a dark past to explain his dogged attitude. In the end, he found a bit of peace after exacting vengeance and hooked up with Nikita. "Last year was Michael being a part of Division. He [held] his emotions back, that's what he does best," said West. 'I really did love working in Divison. It was a lot of fun. It felt like in a sense that that was Michael's home."This season: Michael has a (slightly) new look, attitude and goal. "I grew the hair out for fun and then we kind of went with it," said West. "This year, being on the run, it's far different, but the scenes that I get to do with Maggie are more intimate and just a little bit more fun in trying to figure out how their relationship even works. One's very conservative and one's very liberal."More action!: "Believe it or not you're going to see a lot more action than last year," he said. "They're glossing up Michael's fight scenes more. He's a little deadlier this year, whereas he was more of a bruiser last year.""Mikita": "There will be wrenches. I think smooth sailing is pretty boring," Silverstein warned. "It's about how does something come up between them that's not annoying? I think we found that. That will take a while to develop. The big trouble doesn't start until [Episode] 5." West added, "But there will always be issues because it's them trying to figure themselves out as well. They're actually living together now and being together, which is something they never really had even when they dated or had what they had in Division. It's taking an ordinary situation and putting it in extraordinary circumstances, and that would be incredibly difficult for anyone." Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca), From innocent to independentLast season: As Nikita's mole, she became Division's second-most promising recruit until her true identity was revealed. "The creators and fans came to the conclusion that there's only so much you can do as a recruit. I was kind of stuck there and it needed to change," said Fonseca.This season: Alex is on her own personal mission, working with Division, but not for them. Silverstein said, "What she's looking for is the man who ordered her family's death, the man who controls her father's empire, Zetrov ... a huge, multibillion-dollar empire, which she is the heir to." Fonseca added, "Alex is really on her own for the first time. There's no hiding behind Nikita's shadow. There's no mother figure there or mentor of any kind, so she's really on her own. The first season we really did a lot of her vulnerability. We really handled all the trauma in her life. I feel like this season we're getting into her strength."Reconciliation with Nikita?: "It's a little more complicated than they're going to be fighting each other all season. It's going to expand and contract. ... It's a sine wave, the whole Alex-Nikita story. Alex is not with Nikita's agenda but she's reluctant to kill Nikita. That reluctance isn't gone now, but it's severely chipped away [after events in the premiere]. " Amanda (Melinda Clarke), From questioner to queenLast season: Second only to Percy, Amanda was called in when "special" results were needed from recruits or prisoners.This season: Percy who? Oversight has turned over the Division reins to Amanda. "She is running Division now," confirmed Silverstein. "Amanda is trying to turn Division into a more principled place, getting it back to basics. No more missions on the side. She is trying to be Oversight's good girl. I think Amanda's scarier than Percy so, I think eventually her true colors will come through."Working with Alex: "Alex is kind of like a private contractor. She's in charge of herself but she needs Division's help for a few things," said Fonseca. "Because of that, she has to interact with Amanda. They have an interesting, complicated relationship to say the least. It's like, 'You're your own person, here's what I can do for you, here's what you can do for me.' I think Alex just doesn't know if she can trust Amanda yet. She's kind of testing her out."Her ongoing Percy interaction: Silverstein said, "He screws over Amanda, and Amanda screws him over like almost on an episode-by-episode basis. They really fight, it's like a little Cold War there." From Division to Dharma: TV's shadowy organizations Percy (Xander Berkeley), From person in charge to prisonerLast season: The Division leader proved to be a devious mastermind, but Michael knocked him out in the end.This season: Instead of a three-piece suit, he's wearing a jumpsuit. "Percy may not be moving around a lot. He's confined to an area in Division and it's probably one of the coolest sets we've seen on the show," said Silverstein who convinced Berkeley by comparing Percy's new role to several film inmates: "It's a little bit of Hannibal Lecter, it's a bit of Magneto in X2 stuck in that plastic prison. You're going to be in a prison. No, it's cool. It's like Gene Hackman in Crimson Tide."Still scheming: "I think it's great, stripping the character down, taking away all of his suits, his office, his power and watching him try to rise again," said Silverstein. "You'll see as he starts to barter that he gets little things back: he gets his suit back, he gets little pieces of his office back in there. It sort of looks like it's all for his ego, but actually he is putting together a little thing to get out of there."Why not just kill him already?: Silverstein explained, "Division doesn't have a black box anymore. The guardians have theirs, Nikita and Michael have Percy's master drive. Percy has an eidetic memory so everything on the black box ... It's all in his brain, so they need him to tease that stuff out. If Michael and Nikita start trouble over here and it's a mission that was supposed to be deleted, so Amanda doesn't have the files on it, she's got to send Alex down to Percy to get him to tell them exactly what he did that he left out of the official file. He makes himself useful that way." Check out Q talking about "Mikita" and the difficulties this season: Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford), From computer geek to computer sheikLast season: Division's tech monkey looked out for No. 1, but in the end, he found it in his hard drive of a heart to help out Michael. "Last season he was captive," observed Stanford. "So many people that worked at Division were working there against their will. It wasn't something he wanted to be doing. I think he was sort of treading water and trying to stay alive."This season: He makes his own decisions, even if that means helping out former enemies. "He's no longer with Division," said Stanford. "He's not going to be stuck in the subterranean chambers. He's out and about in the world. This year he's off the leash and he has been gifted again with free will. You will see a little bit of action, which I'm having a lot of fun with." Silverstein added, "It's a bizarro Three's Company. There's a little family dynamic now between Michael, Nikita and Birkhoff. At first, Birkhoff kind of sees himself as a lone wolf and it takes a little bit for him to get more team-oriented. His position allows him to do a lot of great stuff. Now he thinks that he is in charge. He has the money and resources to back it up."Geek love: "[Birkhoff's love interest] is related to a mission and she happens to breeze into his life and then immediately rip him apart like a tornado," said Stanford. Silverstein said, "He meets a very nice girl ... Sonya, who is the person who has replaced Birkhoff [at Division]. And I think if he knew that someone that hot was sitting in his chair now I think some healthy competition on the horizon could turn into something else." His impenetrable lair: "It's in like upstate NY," said Silverstein. "There's not a lot around it. There's a lot of forest around it. [Division is] hot to find that place. He has some good security but nothing is safe." Still bringing attitude: "I don't want there to be too much sympathy for Birkhoff," admitted Stanford. "I like the fact that he's an incredibly self-involved, selfish character. It's a lot of fun to play a character like that. I don't want anybody feeling too bad for him." Owen (Devon Sawa), From crazy to comradeLast season: The cleaner and black box guardian had lost his civilian love and was a bit crazed from going through Division-induced drug withdrawal.This season: "He comes back quickly in Episode 2, " said Q. "What I like about that episode is Owen is going to now weave himself into the fabric which is Nikita and Michael and their world. I'm not going to tell you how obviously, but it's a nice thing to kind of solidify Owen's presence in the Nikita world."No reason for jealousy, Michael. Really.: "There are all these nice moments between him and Nikita," said Q. "They really do have a genuine friendship and do understand each other's lives. I like the dynamic she gets to do with him. He'll come back .there will be a gap with Owen, but ... the next time we see him I think Nikita wil be looking for him." Sean (Dillon Casey), New guy on the Oversight blockHow he enters the picture: "There's going to be a new character named Sean, who comes in from Oversight," said Silverstein. "They send him in. He's kind of like the Colin Farrell character in Minority Report ... you know, looking for flaws in the system ... If in the first few [episodes] you're like, 'Where's this guy coming from?' just bear with it for a little bit and it will be defined."Chemistry with Alex: "He might be a potential love interest for Alex. It's going to be someone from her world [this time]," said Silverstein. Fonseca added, "Romance is definitely not the first thing on her mind right now. She's a woman on a mission. ... There is a man that comes in, and she doesn't really care for at the moment, but I think eventually they'll like each other." Check out the trailer for Nikita, which premieres its second season on Friday, Sept. 23 at 8/7c on The CW.

Marion Cotillard is Most likely Laying About Her 'Dark Dark night Rises' Character

Who's Marion Cotillard playing in 'The Dark Dark night Increases?' The state answer -- and also the one she gave to MTV in the premiere of her new movie 'Contagion' -- is the fact that her character is definitely an original development of director Christopher Nolan. But! Since everyone knows (or at best strongly suspect) that Nolan likes to mislead us about his movies, we must affiliate with the MTV News reporter who requested her pointblank if she's laying. Cotillard will apparently be playing Miranda Tate, a board member at Wayne Businesses, but forthcoming nexus s high that she'll really play Talia Al Ghul -- the daughter of Liam Neeson's 'Batman Begins' villain Ra's Al Ghul. Word that Neeson is going to be shooting some moments for that follow up have considering the fact that theory more credence. Tate could just be a protective cover for Ghul's true identity, which boosts the question: why reveal anything about Cotillard's character whatsoever? Would not it be simpler for Nolan, his leading lady and everybody involved to simply keep mother? Have More: Movie Trailers, Movies Blog [via MTV News, Zap2It] image courtesy AP Photo/Evan Agostini
