Wie sie hier alle wieder rumeiern, nur weil man ne HBO Serie bzw deren Trailer kritisiert ..

[Donnie]

Ich freue mich auch mehr auf Veep als auf Girls und bin noch am Rätseln, ob mir letzteres gefallen wird, aber ich finde es macht einen relativ sympathischen Eindruck. Eine reine Frauenserie ist das für mich auch nicht, da es allen Anschein nach um Twentysomethings geht, die Probleme damit haben, erwachsen zu werden und sich eine erfolgreiche Karriere bzw. erfolgreiche Beziehungen aufzubauen, was schon ein recht universelles Thema ist. Vergleiche mit Sex and the City eignen sich da in meinen Augen nicht, Girls kommt schon im Trailer weitaus bodenständiger her. Allerdings finde ich, dass die Serie für HBO erschreckend nach Low Budget aussieht, aber vllt. liegt es nur daran wie der Trailer mit der billigen Musik zusammengeschnitten ist.

PRIMETIME PILOT PANIC: The Early Buzz
By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Friday April 6, 2012 @ 6:10pm PDT

Back by popular demand: Deadline’s Pilot Buzz lists. We’re earlier than normal this year while pilots have generally been late, with only a handful of them having cuts by now and the vast majority still in various stages of production. Therefore, everything on this list has to be taken with a gigantic grain of salt as a lot could change between a table read and a final cut. Take NBC’s comedy pilot SAVE ME for example. After some mixed and even negative chatter early on, mostly related to the tone of the show, originally developed for Showtime, the tide changed completely over the last two days when people saw the completed pilot, which is getting high marks. The list also doesn’t cover every pilot as some of them have not gotten into production yet or feedback has been insufficient:

NBC
The network already has one new scripted series on tap for next season, HANNIBAL, which I hear may go for midseason. With the network in such bad shape after years of neglect and bad decisions by previous regimes, NBC seems to have cast a very wide net this season, developing a vast range of projects that are all over the map, making it harder to handicap. On the drama side, mystery MIDNIGHT SUN and the Jekyll & Hyde-esque DO NO HARM are getting some solid early buzz. The Jason Katims/Jason Ritter medical drama COUNTY, which just wrapped, also has been getting positive feedback. Western-esque THE FRONTIER, which is shooting in Australia, is getting notices for its rich look. Comedy-wise, ANIMAL KINGDOM is hot, as is White House family comedy 1600 PENN, despite a last-minute recasting, as well as the Matthew Perry starrer GO ON and Greg Daniels’ FRIDAY NIGHT DINNER. The network also is high on a couple of multi-camera comedies, LADYFRIENDS and the untitled JIMMY FALLON, with TABLE FOR THREE also looking encouraging so far. The Ryan Murphy/Ali Adler blended family comedy THE NEW NORMAL is still shooting but, with the auspices involved, it is considered a strong contender. NBC brass seem to like the SARAH SILVERMAN pilot, which had an early order, but Silverman is considered acquired taste, so a lot will depend on testing.

FOX
The KEVIN WILLIAMSON project was very strong at the script stage, got even stronger with the casting of Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy, and seems to be sailing through production. Meanwhile the untitled KARYN USHER teen-spy drama, which also was an early standout during the script phase, then hit a speed bump in casting the lead, which took a very long time, now appears to be in great shape, with newcomer Saxon Sharbino getting strong reviews. The Williamson and Karyn projects seem to be the top drama contenders at the moment, with Fox’s other female CIA agent pilot, THE ASSET, right behind them and GUILTY and BERMAN/WRIGHT further down at the moment. Off-cycle pilot LITTLE BROTHER, whose plug almost got pulled after difficulties casting one of the leads, is making early waves on the comedy side. I hear Fox brass are impressed by John Stamos and his chemistry with TJ Miller. Also getting solid early buzz is the comedy EL JEFE, about a privileged young man moving in with his Latina nanny, and the MINDY KALING medical office comedy, mostly because of its star/creator Kaling. I’ve been hearing some mixed early buzz on half-hour pilots LIKE FATHER and LIVING LOADED, but with A-list auspices Bill Lawrence and Rob McElhenney behind them, judgement has to be held until they are completed.

CBS
High-profile drama pilots RALPH LAMB and ELEMENTARY look very good early on. In addition to strong buzz, period drama Ralph Lamb boasts a cast that includes Dennis Quaid, Michael Chiklis, Jason O’Mara, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Elementary already has fans buzzing about the tweaks the network is making to the classic Sherlock Holmes franchise with this contemporary update. Despite the difficulties casting the lead (Rachelle Lefevre eventually got the role in second position to A Gifted Man), I hear mom-turned-PI drama pilot APPLEBAUM has strong support at the network, with another female procedural, the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced TROOPER, about a mom-turned-state trooper, also getting early buzz. On the comedy side, after a casting tweak after the table read, PARTNERS looks good, while reaction to DORF/FALCONE has been mixed. Most of CBS’ comedy pilot are very late, so not much intel here.

ABC
Like NBC, ABC may already have a series for next season. Soap MISTRESSES, which was ordered straight-to-series for summer 2013, is filming a pilot episode with the regular ABC pilots, and I hear it will get consideration for launch next season, which is what ABC did with midseason entry Missing, originally ordered for summer. When Mistresses will premiere may depend on how ABC’s five soapy pilots, SCRUPLES, AMERICANA, NASHVILLE, DEVIOUS MAIDS and GILDED LILYS turn out. So far, I hear strong buzz on Gilded Lilys, though all five boast top auspices and/or big-name actors. ABC’s fantasy/supernatural pilots 666 PARK AVE, GOTHAM and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST look in good shape early on, especially 666 Park Ave, which is hot. The question is whether the network will pick up only one of them as a companion for Once Upon A Time. In the testosterone minority of ABC’s drama slate, the Shawn Ryan/Karl Gajdusek’s LAST RESORT is showing promise, while buzz on the Roland Emmerich/Harold Kloser project has been mixed. On the comedy side, PRAIRIE DOGS, the raunchy AWESOMETOWN and Claudia Lonow’s family comedy HOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE are getting strong early buzz. Also, Reba McEntire is a big audience draw, making her sitcom MALIBU COUNTRY an automatic contender.

CW
If there is such thing as sure thing so early, the CW’s ARROW and THE CARRIE DIARIES would be it. They have pre-sold titles and are already making a lot of noise. Both were solid pre-production, received mostly favorable reaction to the fist images of the title characters released last month, and the strong buzz continues. Another pilot with a instantly recognizable title, BEAUTY & THE BEAST, also has been garnering buzz, while medical drama FIRST CUT has had people raving about Meryl Streep’s daughter Mamie Gummer who plays the lead. And then there is a pilot, whose chances improved over the last two weeks for reasons completely unrelated to the actual pilot — THE SELECTION. In picking it up, the network took a page from its own playbook several years ago, when, on the heels of the success of the first Twilight movie, the network ordered to pilot the similarly-themed Vampire Diaries. This year, the CW did the same with the Hunger Games-esque THE SELECTION in anticipation that the movie would be big. The film indeed has been an instant smash, boosting the chances of The Selection

Hmm.. ist vl alles noch etwas verfrüht .. aber trotzdem durchaus interessant

[Bobby]

Finds total ärgerlich, dass CWs Cult garnicht erwähnt wird. Ich hoffe so sehr, dass die Serie bestellt wird!!

Und ist es nicht irgendwie komisch, dass immer noch kein Hannibal gecastet wurde? Man zeigt doch den Werbekunden i.d.R. schon Trailer und da wird das wohl der interessanteste Teil sein. Die Upfronts sind ja in fast einem Monat. :?

[Theologe]

Und ist es nicht irgendwie komisch, dass immer noch kein Hannibal gecastet wurde?

Komisch finde ich das gar nicht. Das ist eben nicht so einfach und bei Hannibal wissen die Werbekunden ja zumindest grob worauf sie sich einlassen werden.

Der Hannibal-Schauspieler ist halt der Punkt mit dem die Serie stehen und fallen wird. Da lässt man sich so viel Zeit wie es eben braucht und die Serie wird ja ohnehin höchstwahrscheinlich erst zur Midseason starten.

Das Munsters Remake ist ebenfalls noch längst nicht mit dem Casting durch und zu Touch gab es letztes Jahr auch keinen Piloten. Ist also nicht so ungewöhnlich.

Ungewöhnlicher ist da schon eher, dass die im letzten Juni direkt als Serie bestellte Noir-Adaption von Starz immer noch niemanden gecastet hat. Da gab es zwar einen Showrunnerwechsel, aber das ist auch schon gut 6 Monate her.

Fox has renewed three more series for next season: freshman comedy New Girl, musical dramedy Glee and family comedy Raising Hope. It will be a second season for New Girl, fourth for Glee and a third for Raising Hope. “Over the past season, New Girl has become the hottest new appointment series for young adults; Raising Hope has established itself as one of the smartest and most unique offbeat comedies on television; and Glee has continued its success as a genre-defying, global cultural phenomenon,” said Reilly. “All three of these comedies add a fresh and distinctive flavor to our Tuesday nights, and I’m really happy to bring them back to our air next season.” The move comes after Raising Hope delivered solid numbers when moved to the anchor 8 PM position in the two-hour comedy block Fox tried out while Glee is on hiatus. Fox’s Tuesday lineup returns to normal tomorrow with new episodes of the just renewed Glee, followed by New Girl and Raising Hope. The three comedies join recently renewed Fox series Bones.

Nur bei Hope wars nicht 100% sicher, aber in allen Fällen gut zu hören. Falls Hope nächstes Jahr nicht total einbricht, dürfte damit auch die 4-te Staffel in greifbarer Nähe liegen.

Gerüchteweise verlautet, dass CSI:Miami eine weitere Staffel bekommt, wenn Horatio eine Gehaltseinbuße hin nimmt.

http://www.deadline.com/2012/04/true-de ... harrelson/


A hot event cop drama project is hitting the cable marketplace. Written by Nic Pizzolatto, the 8-part series has Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson attached to star and Cary Fukunaga (Jane Eyre) to direct all the episodes. Titled True Detective, it is described as an elevated serial narrative with multiple perspectives and time frames. It centers on two detectives, Rust Cohle (McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Harrelson), whose lives collide and entwine during a seventeen-year hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. The investigation of a bizarre murder in 1995 is framed and interlaced with testimony from the detectives in 2012, when the case has been reopened. The concept is for the 8-episode first season to resolve the mystery at hand, with subsequent seasons using same structure but new characters and story. I hear that, in addition to the assembled team of a writer, director and stars, the pitch for True Detective includes two written episodes and a bible. Anonymous Content, which manages both Pizzolatto and Fukunaga, developed the project in-house and is producing. Anonymous’ Richard Brown, Steve Golin and Bard Dorros are executive producing with Pizzolatto and Fukunaga.

This is the first TV collaboration for best friends McConaughey and Harrelson who have done two features together, Edtv and Surfer, Dude. For McConaughey, this marks the first regular TV series gig, for Harrelson, it marks a return to the medium where he became a household name as one of the stars of Cheers. Both McConaughey and Harrelson appeared on HBO programs recently — McConaughey guest starred on comedy Eastbound & Down, Harrelson starred in the movie Game Change. RWSG Agency-repped Pizzolatto, an award-winning novelist and short-story writer, recently worked on AMC’s The Killing. McConaughey and Harrelson are with CAA, Fukunaga with WME.

Im Moment wäre Starz wohl die beste Adresse. Die bestellen ja gerne direkt als Serie und verlängern zudem noch bevor die enttäuschenden Quoten rauskommen. :lol: Ob es dann HBO, Showtime, FX, AMX oder Netflix wird, ist egal. Hauptsache es findet sich überhaupt ein Sender, der es unverwässert auf Sendung schickt.

[Theologe]

Ich würde FX für eine gute Adresse halten, zum einen mangelt es denen an Dramas und sie haben mit American Horror Story schon eine Serie mit jährlichem Neustart im Programm.

[Stefan]

Wow .. da müssen sie sich mit dem Drehen ja ran halten, denn der nächste Hunger Games wird ja schon im Herbst gedreht :shock:

[Shepherd]

Ob es dann HBO, Showtime, FX, AMX oder Netflix wird, ist egal.

Ich bin eindeutig für AMX.

[str1keteam]

Ich würde FX für eine gute Adresse halten, zum einen mangelt es denen an Dramas und sie haben mit American Horror Story schon eine Serie mit jährlichem Neustart im Programm.

Ein großer Vorteil wäre sicherlich, dass sie so eine kurze Staffel schhnell produzieren könnten, um nächstes Jahr nicht wieder mit einem monatelangen Loch (ohne Eigenproduktionen) dazustehen. Bei Powers gibt es ja immer noch keine Entscheidung, ob nachgedreht, neu gedreht oder komplett eingestampft wird. Einzig das Projekt um die russischen Sleeper ist schon weit genug für einen Start im zweiten Quartal 2013 vorangeschritten.

Wow .. da müssen sie sich mit dem Drehen ja ran halten, denn der nächste Hunger Games wird ja schon im Herbst gedreht

Wahrscheinlich drehen sie es erst danach. Da erst 2 Drehbücher fertig sind, wird es ja selbst noch eine Weile dauern, wenn sich sofort ein Sender findet.

Ich bin eindeutig für AMX.

Zu recht. Die sind fast so gut wie HFO. :lol:

[Theologe]

Wow .. da müssen sie sich mit dem Drehen ja ran halten, denn der nächste Hunger Games wird ja schon im Herbst gedreht :shock:

Hat Woody Harrelson da eine so tragende Rolle?

AMC is reteaming with The Walking Dead creator/executive producer to develop his newest comic, Thief of Thieves, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.

Thief of Thieves, which Kirkman based on his experience in the writer’s room of The Walking Dead, centers on master thief Conrad Paulson who, while attempting to reconcile with his estranged wife and son, vows to walk the straight and narrow, only to discover he’s completely addicted to the thrill of stealing. Now he must feed his addiction by stealing only what has been stolen, as the “Thief of Thieves.”

Kirkman and Walking Dead producer David Alpert of Circle of Confusion will reunite with Chic Eglee -- with whom they worked on the freshman season of the hit zombie drama -- on the project. Eglee, whose credits include the Showtime double-life drama Dexter, will serve as showrunner should Thief of Thieves move to series.

"Much like The Walking Dead brought horror to television in a unique and groundbreaking way, I feel Thief of Thieves can do the same thing for heist stories, showing the humanity of all the characters, including the criminals," Kirkman says.

Released in February, the first two issues Thief of Thieves each sold out on their respective release dates; issue No. 3 is in stores Wednesday.

Kirkman, who created Image/Skybound's Walking Dead in 2003 and continues to pen each monthly issue, developed the collaborative title Thief of Thieves based on his experience in the writers' room of the zombie drama. Nick Spencer penned the first arc of Thief of Thieves, with Kirkman on board as head writer to oversee the series.

"AMC recognizes the limitless ideas generated by the comic industry," Kirkman says. "Their dedication to bringing The Walking Dead to life as a TV show has been key to its success and I'm excited about the potential of Thief of Thieves to reach similar levels of success."

Walking Dead has proven to be a valuable property for the network, with its second season finale in March shattering cable ratings marks with 9 million total viewers and records in the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49, 25-54 and 18-34 demographics. The March figures marked the third time the AMC series broke the demo records, besting its own record highs for the second time.

"Working with AMC has been a tremendously positive experience and I'm looking forward to continuing and strengthening our relationships there and I can't neglect to mention I've been dying to work with Chic again since we wrapped on The Walking Dead Season 1," Kirkman says.

In addition to Thief of Thieves, Eglee (The Shield) is also developing another comic property, Brian Michael Bendis' Image-turned-Marvel/Icon title Powers, which is in the works at FX.

"It's incredibly exciting to put the band back together with Robert, Chic and AMC; it just feels great," Alpert says.

Klingt wie ne Mischung aus Thief (die FX-Serie mit A. Braugher)/Smith (die kurzlebige Liotta-Serie) und Hustle/Leverage (ohne den leichten Humor und in gut). Zumindest in der Kurzbeschreibung nicht sehr comichaft, aber es würde besser als Walking Dead Lead-Out passen als alle anderen AMC-Serien außer Breaking Bad.

[Bobby]

Naja, klingt wie ein moderner Robin Hood. Kommt auf die Umsetzung darauf an.

Robin Hood auch nur zum Teil, denn die Hauptfigur klaut ja nicht aus Selbstlosigkeit für die Armen.
Ich denke und hoffe auch mal, dass unter den Gangstern einige skrupellose Exemplare sind. Im besten Fall kann es bei AMC sowas wie ein actionreicheres Breaking Bad (mit dem Antihelden zwischen 2 Welten) werden. Weniger als Smith-Niveau kann ich mir nicht vorstellen und das wäre für mich schon mehr als genug.

http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/04/12/calif ... n-spinoff/

Showtime is developing a potential spinoff of its acclaimed comedy series Californication.

Californication writer-executive producer Tom Kapinos has created a new professional groupie character who will be prominently featured next season, with an eye toward possibly giving her a stand-alone show.

The sixth season will introduce “Faith.” She’s in her mid-to-late 20s, and described as “what happens when an innocent young Catholic school girl is exposed to the evils of rock and roll and falls heads over heels in love with the music and the men who make it.” Faith has been on the road with various bands for years and is considered a muse by some elite artists. Though she has a fondness for sex, drugs and rock and role, she remains quite religious.

Faith has a nine-episode arc next season, which will premiere in 2013. At this early stage, the spinoff is by no means assured. First the producers will have to cast the right actress, then the role must connect with viewers.

Injecting new characters into an existing show is one of the preferred methods lately to attempt a spinoff, such as NCIS and Bones introducing characters for NCIS: LA and The Finder, respectively. The Californication plan is more unique since Faith is expected to play a significant role next season rather than just appearing in a one-off “backdoor pilot.” Californication remains a popular draw on Showtime, the recent fifth season averaged 2.8 million viewers, including DVR and encore airings, up 12 percent from season four.

Wird wahrscheinlich wie so viele Spin-Off Ideen in Luft auflösen, aber wie im Artikel erwähnt, bleibt abzuwarten, wen sie casten und wie der Charakter ankommt. Für Californication könnte das die Chancen für eine 7-te Staffel noch erhöhen. Einmal ist es nach Staffel 6 ohnehin nur noch 16 Episoden von der 88-er Marke entfernt und Spin Offs werden ja gerne noch ein Jahr mit dem Original zusammenprogrammiert.

Fox has put its planned reboot of The Flintstones on hold.

The animated project from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane will be delayed, with no word on when production will resume, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

With new Mid-Wilshire offices for Fox's animation unit, where the production is in the midst of staffing up and hiring writers and producers, the project has been put on hold to accommodate multhyphenate MacFarlane's busy schedule.

In addition to the Flintstones reboot, which the network picked up straight to series in May, MacFarlane's multibillion-dollar empire includes work on Family Guy, American Dad! and Family Guy spinoff The Cleveland Show.

The showrunner -- and newly minted two-time Grammy-nominated musician -- also is hard at work on Fox's Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey, a 13-part docuseries designed to be a successor to Carl Sagan's 1980s PBS series. Fox picked up the project straight to series in August.

Flintstones has been a passion project for MacFarlane, who noted that Fred Flintstone was one of the first things he drew at age 2. The project will be jointly produced by 20th Television and Warner Bros. Television, which owns the rights to the original Hanna-Barbera cartoon. Dan Palladino (Gilmore Girls) and Kara Vallo (Family Guy) will exec produce along with MacFarlane.

MacFarlane told The Hollywood Reporter in October that there isn't a tremendous amount of material in The Flintstones that needs refurbishing, outside of such things as the characters' devices, which he suggests were prehistoric versions of 1960s technology in the original version. (Expect iPads in the MacFarlane version.)

"Fred skipping out on the opera to go to the lodge is something that probably would need to be a little fresher in 2011," he said at the time.

In addition to his numerous TV projects, MacFarlane is in post on his feature directorial film Ted, due July 13. MacFarlane wrote, produced and voices a character in the live-action/CG film.

Das wiederrum dürfte sich als positiv für American Dad oder Cleveland Show erweisen, denn mindestens eine davon würde höchstwahrscheinlich abgesetzt bzw. eingestellt, wenn die Flintstones auf Sendung gehen. Trotzdem überraschend, dass er nicht an anderer Stelle seine Arbeitszeit zurückgefahren hat, denn für den FOX-Sonntag kann eine neue Hitcomedy nicht früh genug kommen.

[AlphaOrange]

OMG, nein!
Seit langer Zeit das einzige Serienprojekt am Horizont, dem ich riesiges Hitpotential bescheinige. Dafür müsste man MacFarlane sofort von sämtlichen anderen Projekten abziehen.

[McKing]

Freu mich zwar auch auf die Flintstones, aber Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey ist mir ehrlich gesagt wichtiger. Ich hoffe auf das beste.

[Bobby]

Ich hoffe, dass sie Fringe verlängern. Das ist einfach eine richtig gut Mysterie Serie und gerade entwickelt sich so einiges ... ich hoffe es wird zu Ende geführt.
