Season One Guest Amy Acker Joins “Dollhouse” Cast

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 00:03:40 +0000

Recently, we’ve discovered that Amy Acker, friend to evil-fighting vampires and erstwhile guest star on Supernatural (episode 1.03 Dead in the Water), is going to take part in Joss Whedon’s new show Dollhouse. Joss Whedon confirmed that Ms. Acker will portray Dr. Claire Saunders. Amy Acker was brilliant in her seventy episodes on Angel. I am very excited to see her as a regular on the small screen again, especially working with Joss Whedon. They are both amazing. I’m a huge fan on both counts.

24 fans will recognize another name on the cast list, Harry Lennix from that show’s sixth season.

Okay. This last casting tidbit, that Joss Whedon leaks so proudly on Whedonesque, has entrenched itself alongside all the other nonsense that pervades Jonathan’s soul. “November (who will be recurring but does not appear in the pilot) will be played by the luminous Miracle Laurie.”, riffs Whedon. A short stroll into the world of Miracle Laurie reveals but one screen credit, but further investigation yields the real treasure that hits close to home. Miracle Laurie is vocalist and uke player in the ukelele cover band –that’s right ukelele cover band- Uke Box Hero. This made my year. Part of me thinks that she came into a reading, and wowed the pants off of everyone. The rest of me, though, hopes to discover that Whedon was out of town, sitting in some crazy, near-the-airport bar. Amidst fog, lasers, mirrors, loads of hairspray, eyeliner, and platform shoes, young Miracle Laurie takes the stage, wailing away on a sweet cocktail of Ozzie Osbourne, AC/DC, Elton John, and Neil Diamond covers.

Thank you Joss Whedon! I love you!

Look for more in depth info on this show at my friend Cynthia’s Science Fiction/Fantasy site, SF Universe.

Okay, Supernatural fans! Are you going to watch Dollhouse, this Autumn? Come on. Leave a comment, and let’s hear how you feel about Joss Whedon’s new installment.

CW Synopsis: 3.13 Ghostfacers

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 23:10:32 +0000

Last week, The CW posted the official synopsis for the next new Supernatural episode, Ghostfacers.

Sam and Dean take a break from their usual gig to star in a gritty reality show called “Ghostfacers” which chronicles the pursuit of the paranormal. Ed Zeddmore (guest star A. J. Buckley) and Harry Spengler (guest star Travis Wester) have created a radically different and sometimes violent show full of profanity that takes them to the Morton Mansion, an abandoned estate which becomes one of the most haunted places in America one night each year. However, as their team begins to get picked off in grisly manners not fit for television, they realize they are in over their heads. Source: The CW

Ausiello Poll: Which “bubble” show deserves another season the most?

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 05:08:52 +0000

This year, we’ve seen some good, and some great new shows. The writers’ strike may have helped some of them, in a way, by giving the networks too little time to axe them, and percolate any new ideas for next season. As things go, though, some may rise, some may fall, and some may stay around plenty long to jump the shark in a season or two. And we’ve already seen a couple of shows dropped already.

So, with the TV programmers’ chopping block in mind, our man at TV Guide, Michael Ausiello, has posted a poll, asking which “bubble” show deserves another season?

Supernatural, not a new show, but always on the list of potential dropees, I suppose, is on that list. So, go vote for Supernatural as the show that most deserves to stay around for another season!

Vote at Ausiello’s pages on TV Guide.com. Look in the margin for the poll.

NOTE: I think Supernatural is less likely to be on the block, this year, for a variety of reasons. What do you think? Is it time to send rabbits’ feet and rock salt to the CW execs?

Directors, Producers Strike Deal: Writers Next?

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 04:44:29 +0000

Just 27 seconds ago –more or less- the Directors Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers tentatively agreed to a three year contract. The agreement, covering the same sorts of issues that have caused the Writers Guild of America strike, including royalties for internet revenues, is groundbreaking. Also, as contracts go in Hollywood, this should herald a similar agreement between the AMPTP and the WGA.

La-La Land generally practices “pattern bargaining”, meaning that, once one class of creative types signs a contract with moguls, it sets a precedent to aid in negotiations between other creative guilds. This leads to similar rate patterns for subsequent agreements.

That said, let’s hope this will be over soon. Movie and TV lovers, we, may have suffered a bit mentally. Imagine the issues faced by those whose tables were a bit harder to fill, as studios went dark. This includes various lesser known writers all the way to all manner of crew personnel.
