‘Revolution’ Casts a President

TV Line

[Leslie] Hope, recently seen as a regular on ABC’s short-lived thriller The River, will play President Foster, the tough, seasoned leader of the powerful Georgia Federation who may just be the key to the revolution taking hold.

LIttle bitty little scoop, but still fun none the less for those of us who are loving Revolution. I definitely want to know more about the Georgia Federation. I also want to see Miles more invested in the revolution of the rebels. Time will tell what we see.

Revolution resumes it’s first season on March 25.

Depending on whom you ask, most members of the Fringe team have a lot to say — or at least hint at — when it comes to summing up the series finale airing Friday night. But if you ask Joshua Jackson, he boils it down to one word.

But more on that in a bit.

A fun read for Fringe fans such as myself. It’s about a 3 minute read, and there’s a slideshow of photos from the series finale at the end of the article.

Jeremy Irons Takes Swipe at ‘Downton Abbey’

It’s quiet out there as everyone in Hollywood is en route to the Sundance Film Festival, so here’s something that should perk up your eyeballs a little bit. The always awesome Jeremy Irons has weighed in on “Downton Abbey,” and if you think the show is the height of writing and drama, Irons has some news for you.

Chatting at the Television Critics Assosciation panel for PBS’s “Shakespeare Uncovered,” Irons used the opportunity to take a swipe at the network’s hit show. “What I’m really excited about with ‘Shakespeare Uncovered’ is we’ll see some of the best British actors playing…

Just Spotted: ‘Fringe - Enemy of Fate’ Trailer

Just Spotted: ‘Fringe - Enemy of Fate’ Trailer

I just saw this via Fringe’s Facebook page. It looks like it was just posted to YouTube today. So despite having shared a Fringe trailer earlier, I must share another one with you now.

It looks to be epic, but I suppose we would expect nothing less from Fringe‘s last hurrah.

‘Fringe’ Finale Promo and Poster

‘Fringe’ Finale Promo and Poster

The last two hours of Fringe is upon us all too soon. But it’s here whether we want it to be or not. I have so many mixed emotions about this. I haven’t been into a TV show this much since Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis.

This series has had it’s ups and downs, it’s good moments and it’s bad moments. It’s made me laugh, it’s made me cry, it’s frustrated me, it’s made me happy. But mostly, it’s just been good sci-fi drama with compelling stories and characters. And now, it’s about to wrap up.

And Fox has some stuff for us to get us phsyched up for the final two hours this Friday.…

‘Hemlock Grove’ Netflix Original Series

‘Hemlock Grove’ Netflix Original Series

Yet again, it looks like this isn’t particularly my kind of TV Show.

I really wish Netflix and Hulu would get original shows that I care about. Maybe I’m just dreaming, but it’s a fun dream. On-demand original content that’s good. That is the “holy grail” so to speak.

Oh, and also, whether Netflix’s doing or someone else, this trailer is available in an embeddable format from YouTube, which is nice.

Be warned this trailer does have some disturbing images in it. Nothing as bad as, say, the red band Hansel and Gretel trailer I posted a couple weeks ago, but it has the tenor of an R…

‘Star Wars’ Live Action TV Series

Surely, the first thing that came to people’s minds when they heard Disney bought out Lucasfilm was the possibility of more “Star Wars” films. That one was a given. Well, it turns out that Disney has much more in mind than just another “Star Wars” trilogy, how about a live action TV series as well?

 

ABC entertainment president Paul Lee recently told Entertainment Weekly that he was indeed interested in collaborating with Lucasfilm on a TV series the company had shelved a couple of years ago. “We’d love to do something with Lucasfilm, we’re not sure what yet,” Lee told the magazine.…

ABC President Talks ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’

“He’s already working on the scripts for the series,” said Lee. “We will have to work. We shot it in Los Angeles to make sure that he is free to work across his feature life and his television life, but I love to see Joss who of course has made many great television shows in his day, enjoying television as much as movies. That’s flattering for us. We love that.”

We can assume the budget for a S.H.I.E.L.D. show will be high, but Lee is thinking long term economics. “On the one hand, we have to make shows that can sustain for many, many years and we’d love to see ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ go not just…
