CROSS SPECIES MEDICINE
Fox's light medical series, coming from BONES producers, based on the best selling book by Dr. Barbara Natterson Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers, will follow the unlikely pairing of Dr. Kara Martins (Marsha Thomason), a successful, driven cardiologist as she risks career suicide by teaming with Dr. Lucas Cort (Peter Facinelli), a brilliant, socially challenged veterinarian who relates better to animals than people. They try to put aside their competitive natures to cure the incurable using a unique blend of cross species medicine that’s never been tried before.

Kim Raver will play Dr. Julia Fowler, the chief of medicine at Chicago Hospital, the part originally male in the book. Ben Rappaport will play Dr. Henry Lowe, a cardiology resident. Ambitious and always concerned with doing the right thing for his career, he surprisingly bends hospital rules.

'ME & MEAN MARGARET'
GAVIN STENHOUSE TO LEAD STOCKARD CHANNING SITCOM
In other television news, NBC has finally found a young man who will star opposite legendary Stockard Channing in the pilot for their new multi camera sitcom ME AND MEAN MARGARET! Handsome ALLEGIANCE star Gavin Stenhouse will lead an unlikely buddy comedy that follows Margaret (Channing), a fiercely candid and often offensive legendary actress, and Ben (Stenhouse), the ambitious 27 year-old lawyer forced to babysit her. Naturally conciliatory but not a doormat (entirely), Ben is a nice, responsible lawyer who accepts his latest assignment as the legal conservator/ babysitter for the notoriously mean and mischievous former actress Margaret Manley (Channing), but quickly realizes it’s more than he bargained for. He’s forced to go way outside his comfort zone and think on his feet — and in the process, learns a thing or two from her about standing up for himself.
I like Stockard Channing so I'm glad to hear she's got a new sitcom in the works!
ReplyDeletecan't wait, such a lovely casting!
Deletenever heard of the book
ReplyDeleteNow you have
DeleteThe Chronicles of Pyrdan sounds pretty good. What pig keeper doesn't dream of being a hero. And I'm guessing the piggies might talk in the movie.
ReplyDeleteif they don't roast them first :) I had piggies as a kid, you know :)
DeleteZoobiquity does have an interesting premise and a good-looking cast.
ReplyDeleteshould be a thrill to watch
DeleteThe adaptation of CHRONICLES OF PRYDAIN sounds like something to look forward to!
ReplyDelete-Kati
we do love them epic like that
DeleteDr. Kim... I'm not feeling so great.
ReplyDeleteremove your clothes and lay on the bed, doctor Raver will see you now
DeleteAnd then I'd wake up.
Deletethe whole of you or just parts of you?
DeletePart of me, of course. Hello!
Deletehello, it's me?
DeleteWe are watching Nurse Jackie right now on Netflix, and we think Peter Facinelli is great in that series. He's one of those actors that I have seen in numerous things, but I guess I never remember him. I went and Googled his other films after this post and was kind of shocked that he's been in so many things I've seen.
ReplyDeleteI remember that he had some old detective show in some tropical place... that is back in the days he was really truly gorgeous. He has a famous wife too :)
DeleteI always liked Jennie Garth in 90210. I can't say I've seen her in much these last few years, though.
Deleteprobably for the better :)
DeleteI liked Black Cauldron despite it's obvious issues. Hopefully this adaptation plan of Disney's fares much better. Good luck Cross Species Medicine, good God.
ReplyDeleteIt was the first Disney's animated flick to have computer generated imagery and it took ten years to be released on the video market due to its failure in the cinemas
