Now, this is quite unusual: three stars from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and one of the producers will rejoin in a new Fall show on NBC.
17TH PRECINCT will be a supernatural police procedural, with
James Callis playing a homicide detective and
Jamie Bamber playing a crime scene expert.
Tricia Helfer
will play a coroner who has expertise in black magic, spell casting, and potions. The police in the series will relay more so on magic than they will on detective work and technology. The cast will also include amazing
Stockard Channing and young
Matt Long.
SHORT HEADLINES *Legendary actress
Anjelica Huston has joined
Debra Messing,
Katherine McPhee and
Jack Davenport in NBC's new musical show
SMASH in which she will play a Broadway producer who is both classy and shrewd. *You won't discover
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER for two more years, since the popular sitcom has just been renewed for two more seasons. *According to new rumors
JAMES BOND 23 might get legendary actor
Anthony Hopkins as the main villain.
*ABC's upcoming new show
POE has just got itself two breathtaking actors:
Tabrett Bethell (Cara from LEGEND OF THE SEEKER, probably the most beautiful woman on Earth) and
Christopher Egan will take the lead roles in the show set in 1840s Boston in which the famous writer will also solve crimes. Egan will be Poe and Tabrett will be his main muse.
Today you can check out a super sensational new poster for one of the most anticipated sf films this year, futuristic epic
PRIEST with the stunning cast including
Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Cam Gigandet, Stephem Moyer, Madchen Amick and
Christopher Plummer. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior
Priest (
Paul Bettany) from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece (
Lily Collins) is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires,
Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on an obsessive quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend (
Cam Gigandet), a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior
Priestess (
Maggie Q) who possesses otherworldly fighting skills. The film is out May 13th.
Interesting about the Battlestar, stars.

OMG! I was just tweeting that if Jamie Bamber joined '17th Precinct' it'll be an automatic MUST-SEE SHOW for me but I didn't think it'd be for real!! Yay!!! Man, I can't wait for that show to air now. Woot! Woot!
ReplyDeleteOh, I quite like Christopher Egan, he has a likable presence in KINGS and Letters for Juliet.
That's interesting info about the Battlestar actors and producer. At least if we have to have another police procedural out there this one has a supernatural twist.
ReplyDelete@NR
ReplyDeleteit is quite interesting and unusual :)
@Flixy
it could be interesting, even though it's not my genre, but who could possibly not watch Bamber :))
And I'd watch POE much more for Tabby Bethell than for Egan :) She's the most beautiful TV actress ever.
@Holly
yep, the supernatural twist is what will make it kinda cool and not so boring :)
You're absolutely right. That poster for Priest is terrific! One poster comment begets another, lol!
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to "Priest." That's a pretty awesome poster.
ReplyDeleteRead about 17th Precinct on Blastr. And would it be wrong if I said you just gave me two reasons for watching Poe? Yeah, that's probably wrong.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in all of these. Egan as Poe, interesting. 17th Precinct better be good ;-D
ReplyDeletePaul Bettany is always interesting to watch, such a chameleon that guy~
Jamie Bamber is must see tv for me. I love him. Poe looks awesome, it's great to see Tabrett back. And Priest, what can I say? It's Karl and Paul. Rowr!
ReplyDeleteI love Bamber. I loved him in Battlestar and in Law and Order UK. Is he dropping L&O UK for this show?
ReplyDeletePriest sounds awesome. And I'm looking forward to hearing more about Hopkins in a Bond film.
ReplyDelete@Matty
ReplyDeletethe poster is uber cool, isn't it? :)
@Nicole
it is, isn't it? :)
@Alex
those are two big reasons
@Ella
it's quite interesting that they chose Egan as Poe, it could be very cool, since the cast is quite young and gorgeous.
@Melissa
ReplyDeleteyou are pretty much reading my mind with everything you said in the comment :))
@Clarissa
I'm not sure, Clarissa, they will first do a pilot for the new show, so if it doesn't work out he might return to LAW AND ORDER UK? I don't know.
@Matthew
Priest should be really cool for all the sf fans.
Can’t wait to see Tabrett Bethell back on screens… :)
ReplyDeletelooking forward to Priest, but not so sure about the concept of District 17. That girl from seeker is pretty hot.
ReplyDelete@Jaccsy
ReplyDeleteooh, I hear you, I'm overly excited about Tabby coming back to us! :)
@Budd
PRIEST will rock! And Tabby is super hot!
17th Precinct and Priest both look full of win! And that picture of Jamie Bamber? Smokin!
ReplyDeletehe he, Steph, I knew my ladies would like that picture of Bamber :) Stay tuned, in an hour I'm posting Wednesday post with some hunkylicious pics :) too
ReplyDeleteDezzy, not sure if you've ever seen this but I immediately thought of you: http://rondmoore.com/Site/Blog/Entries/2007/11/30_Towel_for_you.html :)
ReplyDeletenya, who needs towels, we need what's hiding under them :) Right? :)
ReplyDeletePriest sounds so good - can't wait! I really like Paul Bettany, so that's a bonus. :)
ReplyDeleteit will be a super exciting sf film, Suzy ;)
ReplyDeleteNo Jamie, please . . . Don't. Drop. The towel! Sorry, couldn't resist. I like your pictures.
ReplyDeletewait, Angie, you got me confused, you want or do not want Jamie to drop the towel? :)))
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the pics, a new portion of hot pics served every day at HOLLYWOOD SPY ;)
