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.

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.

JAMIE DORNAN TO LEAD

'ANTHROPOID' WW2 THRILLER

It seems that Mr. Grey will see us even when the horrid fifty shades of grey start to fade: according to 'Screen Daily' one of our favourite Irish hunks Jamie Dornan will take the lead role in ANTHROPOID WW2 drama together with another fave Irishman of ours Cillian Murphy! The Sean Ellis directed movie will be about the attempted assassination of prominent Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich. ANTHROPOID refers to the code-name for the Allied operation to assassinate Heydrich, the head of the SS who was one of the main architects of the Holocaust and was widely considered number three in the Nazi ranks behind Hitler and Himmler. Operation ANTHROPOID was led by two soldiers from Czechoslovakia’s army-in-exile who were parachuted into their homeland to carry out the mission against the Nazi nicknamed “The Butcher of Prague”.
