JOSH DUHAMEL JOINS
'BATTLE CREEK' TV SERIES
In Television updates today, Josh Duhamel has scored one of the two
lead roles in CBS new show BATTLE CREEK. He will play an FBI agent who
teams up with a totally different police detective, played by Dean Winters, to clean up
the unsafe streets of Battle Creek, Michigan! The show comes from the
creators of HOUSE and BREAKING BAD. This will see Duhamel's return to TV
after NBC's LAS VEGAS.
'GATEWAY' SF NOVEL TO BE TURNED INTO SHOW
Deadline reports that cult sf novel GATEWAY from Frederik Pohl will be turned into a TV series by Entertainment One (HELL ON WHEELS) and De Laurentis Co. (DUNE). It is set in a space station constructed by a long-vanished alien race, now inhabited by humans. It centres on Rob Broadhead, who, haunted by a dark love story, has traveled on a one-way ticket from Earth for the extremely dangerous mission of piloting one of thousands of abandoned alien spacecrafts on Gateway. The technology of these alien ships is not fully understood, with most trips resulting in death. The reward for a rare successful return, however, can be untold riches, so crews continue to sign up despite the desperate odds.

The Normal Heart looks very powerful. Love Mark Ruffalo. :))
ReplyDeleteand me loves Matt Bomer :) and Taylor Kitsch too.... But that ebil witch in it will stop me from watching it :(
DeleteI was upset when I saw she'd been cast.
Deleteme too, dear, let us hope she doesn't get any Emmys for her lack of effort
DeleteIs Roberts the ebil witch?
Deletesure is
DeleteOhhhhh ...
DeleteYou know me, Dezzy, I love my comedies and those two guys, Helms and Sudekis are some of the best.
ReplyDeleteI do have a special place in my heart for Sudeikis... Olivia Wilde is such a lucky lass :) I've never seen Ed in anything though.... but I like his posh style of clothing in private life.
DeleteI will watch The Normal Heart as the story is important to me. Now why did they have to cast dog face in the film. It's a serious subject and her character requires depth. She has about as much depth as a thimble half full of water.
ReplyDeleteshe ruins every film she is in, it hurts me beyond words, dear!
DeleteI think Jason Sudeikis and Ed Helms are two of the funniest actors we have today. I didn't really like Ed Helms on The Office, but I have loved him in all the movies he has been in!
ReplyDeleteand they're cute too :)
DeleteWhat is it with all the remakes? Granted, I loved Fetch, so I'll probably see this. Also, Gateway sounds interesting!
ReplyDelete'tis the sign of utter lack of creativity in Hollywood! Thanks for visiting, Meradeth!
DeleteWhy mess with Fletch? Though I do like Jason Sudeikis. But Fletch the original is such a classic!
ReplyDeleteWill good to see Josh on TV again.
The Normal Heart looks good. My uncle died of AIDS in the early 90's, and it was so new and misunderstood then.
sorry to hear about your uncle, Kelly. Sadly, it is still misunderstood in many parts of the world
DeleteThe Normal Heart looks emotional. I hope those two comedies are awesome since I love comedy, yet so many comedic movies fall flat.
ReplyDeleteit's true, most of them aren't serious comedies but just a rudejokesfest
