…So catchy, in fact, that co-writer-director Gregori Viens and co-writer-star Henry Phillips of the Slamdance Audience-Award winning feature film of the same name, are turning it into a Showtime series, with Chuck Martin of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT joining the writing mix.
If the series bears any resemblance to the film as described on IMDB, viewers like us – you know, the True Believers in Showbiz – are going to have something solid to watch:
…So that’s perfect network-think, hands down.
We, however, have to admit that we’re rooting for this one to work. It’s called THE HOUSEWIVES and is about three housewives in 1954, when our blessed mum was, in fact exactly one year old. (What does that have to do with anything? Just trying to show that we have some link to the time period, that’s all.)
THE GOOD WIFE isn’t our favorite show, but the Kings are two of our favorite writers, so let’s raise a glass for the sale of their new project, GIRLS WITH GUNS, to Showtime. According to various interweb sources, GIRLS WITH GUNS is a drama about two L.A. sisters whose family moves to “the one place in the world where women are drafted into the military – Israel.” We’re assuming that our two lissome heroines are:
…because otherwise there wouldn’t be any show. Congrats to the royal couple. (Um, their name is King, get it?) Happy creating, writing, producing, and money-making, Robert and Michelle!
Yep, the Warlock wins after all.
Congrats, Charlie. (Now tell us, where’s the party?)
We aren’t certain if this was the intention, but to us Fox Entertainment’s Fox 21 division represents the company’s most creatively ambitious work, producing as it does such series as SONS OF ANARCHY, BREAKOUT KINGS, and HOMELAND.
Yesterday, Fox 21 continued in this high-faluting vein by signing Emmy-nominated writer and producer Craig Wright to an overall deal deal to create and supervise cable projects, according to The Hollywood Reporter. We think it’s a fine idea, not because we’re best buds with Craig (nobody here at TVWriter™ knows him, unfortunately for our own aspirations), but because of Craig’s fine work in the past on SIX FEET UNDER, LOST, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, and one of our all-time failed-in-the-ratings faves, DIRTY SEXY MONEY.
Looking forward to more Dirty, Sexy, uh, stuff now from Fox 21.
