Cancelled shows of Tomorrow: The War on Chuck Lorre

[Sawyer]

P&R and Michael J. Fox are all they have left, comedy-wise. Everything else they picked up comedy-wise looks weak and unimpressive. **** them for getting rid of Go On.

Ha! Totally forgot Community was still on.

But, yes, that too.

SyFy cancelled Rewind after one episode which aired last week. The show was D.O.A. Never had a chance since it was never promoted right & the male lead was weak. The pilot was shot in the spring of 2012. They just held onto it til last week & made the cancelation official 2 days later.

 

[Sawyer]

I don't think that counts as a cancellation. It sounds more like they needed something to fill airtime, so why not use this thing they already spent money on?

 

[DrDoom]

Rewind?

 

[Sawyer]

A pilot that didn't get picked up at Syfy, so they aired it as a TV movie.

 

[DrDoom]

Jeff Fahey huh?

Even if it was picked up he woulda been killed the next episode

Sucks cause I like Fahey alot but he dies on everything he's in, I was happy when he showed up in Revolution then he died the same episode. Was happy he was cast in Under the Dome only to die two episodes in

ABC Family Preps Horror Drama; Jamie Lee Curtis Attached To Star, Steve Miner To Helm
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: ABC Family has closed a deal for a high-profile horror spec script by writer Jeff Dixon, which has Jamie Lee Curtis attached to star and Steve Miner to direct and executive produce if the project goes to pilot. That would mark a reunion and return to the horror genre for the Halloween 20 star Curtis and director Miner. While there is no green light yet for the project, I hear it is being put on a fast track. Titled The Final Girls, the drama revolves around a group of girls who have, in essence, survived their own personal horror stories, and are brought together by a mysterious older woman (Curtis) to channel the stress and scars of their experience for some greater good. Horror launched Curtis’ feature career with the Halloween franchise. Miner also helmed the second and third installment of another popular horror movie franchise, Friday The 13. In addition to Halloween 20, Miner also directed Curtis in Forever Young. He recently has been working mostly at ABC Family, directing the pilots and multiple episodes of the network’s Make It Or Break It and Switched At Birth. If The Final Girls gets the green light, it would mark Curtis’ first series regular role since the 1989 Anything But Love. She recently did an arc on NCIS and guest starred on New Girl. Curtis is with CAA, Miner and Dixon with Gersh.

Goddammit, ABC Family, you had to do something that would interest me, didn't you?

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Damn, that does seem pretty cool..why does it have to be on that channel though lol

Bryan Singer To Produce Modern Monster Drama Project For Syfy
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: Syfy has teamed up with X-Men director Bryan Singer and his Bad Hat Harry Prods. (House) for Creature At Bay, a drama series project, which will be developed as a 90-minute pilot script. It will be written by John Cabrera, co-creator of Warner Bros.’ award winning sci-fi digital series H+, also produced by Bryan Singer. Creature At Bay is set in the wake of the US military taking down a giant, rampant creature — a modern-day “Kaiju” monster – just off the Northern California coast. A middle-management Undersecretary from the California Emergency Management Agency is charged with leading the clean-up efforts as the small town becomes the focus of the entire world. Universal Cable Prods. is producing, with Singer and Bad Hat’s Jason Taylor executive producing and John Cabrera co-executive producing. WME-repped Bad Hat Harry Prods. also has ABC’s straight-to-series The Black Box, on which Singer is directing the opening episode, and a Twilight Zone reboot in development at CBS TV Studios. H+ is in pre-production on a second season.

 

[Hunter Rider]

^^^ Interesting concept, focusing on the aftermath of what would have taken place in the big budget movie.

Well, if you'd give Pretty Little Liars a shot, then you'd have two things.

‘Community’s Ken Jeong To Star In & Produce Medical Comedy Project For NBC
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: Besides being a comedy star, Community and Hangover standout Ken Jeong is a licensed physician. His life before going into comedy will be the subject of Dr. Ken, a multi-camera comedy, which has landed at NBC with a significant penalty. Feature comedy writer Jared Stern (The Internship) is writing the project, from Community producer Sony Pictures TV and John Davis and John Fox’s studio-based Davis Entertainment. Stern, Davis and Fox executive produce, with Jeong co-executive producing. Jeong is a regular on Community, whose upcoming fifth season is rumored to be the cult comedy’s last but that is never certain as Community has defied the odds before. But even if Community continues for another season and Dr. Ken goes to series things could be worked out as both shows are with NBC and Sony TV. Another Community cast member, Donald Glover, who is no longer a regular, recently sold a music-themed comedy to FX. Before pursuing a career in comedy, Jeong got an M.D. degree at the University of North Carolina and completed an internal medicine residency at Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans. He is a licensed physician in the state of California. This marks Davis Entertainment’s second sale this season, joining drama Wolfe, which also received a penalty from NBC. The company has two new series on the NBC fall schedule, The Blacklist and Ironside.

Multi-cam, NBC? Really?

You're not CBS, knock it off with this ****.

Ken Jeong to Star, say no more

Will NOT watch

I already like the show Twisted. This will go nicely as it's lead in or vice versa.

Robert De Niro Succeeds James Gandolfini In HBO Miniseries ‘Criminal Justice’
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: HBO is carrying on James Gandolfini’s legacy with Criminal Justice. Oscar winner Robert De Niro has stepped in to take over the role originally played by the beloved Sopranos star in the pilot. De Niro is attached to act in Criminal Justice, a seven-hour miniseries, with Gandolfini staying on as an executive producer posthumously. (HBO previously greenlighted Criminal Justice with Gandolfini as a seven-part limited series in May). Steven Zaillian, who has been shepherding the project for over four years, is set to direct the first hour. Richard Price wrote Criminal Justice based on the BBC series created by Peter Moffat. On the mini, produced by HBO in association with BBC Worldwide Prods., Film Rites and Tribeca Films, De Niro joins originally cast Riz Ahmed, Bill Camp, Payman Maadi and Poorna Jagannathan. Production is eyed to begin in March.

It was unclear in the immediate aftermath of Gandolfini’s untimely June death in Rome whether HBO would proceed with Criminal Justice. But because Gandolfini had been so committed and passionate about the project, which he was getting ready to start filming upon his return from Rome, the network and Zaillian began exploring ways to do Criminal Justice in his honor. The New York crime story centers on an ambulance-chasing New York City attorney, the role originally played by Gandolfini, who gets in over-his-head when he takes on the case of a Pakistani (Ahmed) accused of murdering a girl on the Upper West Side. While the lawyer part is central to the overall story, in the pilot the character only appears in the final scene. That led to discussions between HBO and Zaillian about recasting the part, not an easy task as I hear the network and Zaillian were looking for a great actor whom Gandolfini would have wanted for the role and who would honor Gandolfini’s memory with his performance. I hear their list consisted of one name only, Robert De Niro, who responded and came on board.

Criminal Justice is executive produced by Gandolfini, Zaillian, Price, Moffat, BBC Worldwide’s Jane Tranter and Tribeca’s Jane Rosenthal, with Film Rites’ Garrett Basch and Attaboy’s Mark Armstrong and Nancy Sanders serving as co-executive producers and Berry Welsh as co-producer.

Well, damn...

CBS To Adapt Anne Rice’s ‘Seraphim’ Novels As Drama Project With Timberman-Beverly, ‘Memphis Beat’ Creators & Joe Carnahan
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: CBS has put in development Angel Time, a drama series project based on the characters in Anne Rice’s The Songs of the Seraphim novels. Named after the first book in the series, Angel Times hails from CBS Studios and Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman’s studio-based Timberman-Beverly Prods. Joe Carnahan is set to direct the project, with Rice executive producing. Written by Memphis Beat creators Josh Harto and Liz Garcia, Angel Time is a New Orleans-set high-stakes, operatic drama about Toby O’Dare, a soulless assassin with a tragic past who finds himself on a road to redemption. Harto and Garcia are executive producing the project with Rice, Carnahan, Timberman and Beverly.

Narc director Carnahan, repped by CAA and Stuart Rosenthal, is on a hot streak in TV with the two pilots he directed, A&E’s Those Who Kill and NBC’s The Blacklist, both going to series, and Blacklist drawing big ratings on Monday. Garcia recently wrote and directed the Sundance movie The Lifeguard, which she produced with Harto, both repped by CAA and Madhouse. CAA-repped Timberman-Beverly has four series: Elementary and Unforgettable on CBS, Justified on FX and Masters Of Sex, which premieres on Showtime this weekend. The company’s development slate also includes CBS medical drama Dorothy, inspired by the characters and themes from The Wizard of Oz, and Blood, Sweat & Tears, an A&E serialized drama set in Texas and centered on the world of amateur Bull Riding. Rice is with CAA and Christine Cuddy.

Never read 'em.

 

[Hunter Rider]

When I saw the word Seraphim I immediately thought of that western with Pierce Brosnan. Sounds interesting though.

 

[Wolfwood]

Angel Time is kind of a silly name, hope they don't go with that. Sounds like a basic cable religious kids show. What time is it kids? Angel time!

 

[Hunter Rider]

So what shows are starting/returning tonight?
