NEW MULTICAMERA SITCOMS
FRESHLY ORDERED BY CBS
Iliza Shlesinger will lead HalfWay There |
They also bought a Gail Berman multicam THE FOLKS which tells what
happens when a momma’s boy marries a daddy’s girl, and their respective
parents can’t let go. SIBLINGS multicam is also in development from
Ranch and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia producers, which centres on
two very different siblings who decide to live together and raise their
kids
after one of them gets divorced. Meanwhile, The Middle star
Patricia Heaton will both topline and produce CBS new multicam sitcom
CAROL'S SECOND ACT playing a woman who after raising her two children
and retiring from teaching, embarks on a unique second act: she’s going
to become a doctor. They're also doing a sitcom LIFE LESSONS from Eric
Christian Olsen about a guy who is a professional failure at life and
finds advice and friendship in the most unlikely of places… a class of
first graders. Meanwhile, Superior Donuts star Jermaine Fowler will do
another comedy for them: QUINTA & JERMAINE in which he and
Quinta Brunson will star as childhood best friends who find themselves
expecting a child while navigating adulthood.

'BECOMING ASTRID' TRAILER
ON PIPPI LONGSTOCKING AUTHOR
We've seen movies on Winnie the Pooh creator, the Tolkien one is coming soon too, but from Finland comes a movie on the creator of famous children
character Pippi Longstocking! BECOMING ASTRID already played in their domestic cinemas last September as well as in Scandinavia, but will hit rest of Europe and USA in limited release this month and November. Alba August is playing the lead role in the biopic of Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren, the author of numerous children's books and creator of Pippi Longstocking who found inspiration in being a very young mother herself. The movie was directed by Pernille Fischer Christensen who also wrote the film together with her husband who is also a children's book author.
Becoming Astrid arrives this Autumn |
CBS ordered sitcoms...I wish I could write one; they probably pay well.
ReplyDeleteLucky girl Iliza Shlesinger. Not only is she a leading comedian, she can also write comedies.
She and her husband are jewish; her hubby's name is Noah Galuten (gluten,perhaps ??).
The trailer of "Becoming Astrid"- very strong, especially the part with the pregnancy and baby-child.
They often have writing rooms in which the writers gather and write scripts for sitcoms together, imagine the fun they have!
DeleteI was never a fan of the rather annoying Pippi Longstockings, but "Becoming Astrid" might be an okay movie.
ReplyDeletefully agreed, although I must admit the lead actress did not impress me at all in this trailer.
DeleteHopefully some of the sitcoms stick. Seems many get the axe before they even have time to gain a following these days.
ReplyDeletenot this year, Neighbourhood has got more episode ordered, Conners one more episode (hopefully the last one) only Rel and that Happy Together could get axed. Cool Kids are doing more than fine as LMS follow up programme so they are getting full season too. Murphy Brown and Will and Grace are, though, hitting deep lows.
DeleteI'm glad to hear Murphy Brown is doing poorly. Ever since having that witch Hillary guest star, they deserve to go into the toilet.
Deleteit is such a massive flop of a flop! Especially since, unlike LMS it airs during the week so it can't really use Friday Night Graveyard as an excuse.
DeleteI used to have a crush on Pippi Longstockings.
ReplyDeletethat does not say much about you indeed
DeleteUm...
