Interview with Jeff Eastin, the Man Behind WHITE COLLAR

We love reading interviews with creators/showrunners/writers about their series. Because, let’s face it, nobody knows what it’s all about better than they do. No, not even the stars. Except maybe Nathan Fillion because we absolutely buy into the idea that Nate Knows It All. But that’s for another post(s). Anyway:

Jeff Eastin Talks WHITE COLLAR Season 4, His New TV Series GRACELAND, and What Happened to His TRUE LIES Sequel Script
by Christina Radish

On the hit USA Network drama series White Collar, the unique partnership between slick con man Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) and FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) was upended in the highly buzzed about season three finale when Neal fled the country with Mozzie (Willie Garson).  The critically acclaimed series returns for a dramatic fourth season, exploring Burke’s fate with the FBI, the whereabouts of Caffrey, and whether or not their relationship will ever be the same again.  This will also be the season that Caffrey finally digs deeper into his family, in his search for answers about who he really is and where he comes from. read article

Harry Bosch, TV Detective?

Uh…who?

Michael Connelly Partners Up To Pitch His Harry Bosch Books As TV Series

EXCLUSIVE: Crime novelist Michael Connelly has partnered with Fuse Entertainment (The Killing, The Good Guys) and writer-producer Eric Overmyer (HBO’s Treme) in hopes of finally bringing his Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch character to series TV. Overmyer has come on to develop and serve as showrunner and lead writer on the prospective series, Connelly told Deadline today.

Until 2010, the brooding LAPD homicide detective and protagonist of 15 of Connelly’s 20-plus books was tied up in 15 years of development hell at the studio. read article
