Writing Deals and More Than Just Writing Deals – Whoa!

More writers to get to know…or be very, very nice to if you already know ’em:

  • Bill Lawrence, co-creator of COUGAR TOWN is adapting the book by Justin Halpern (of $#*! MY DAD SAYS fame), I Suck at Girls as a sitcom for Fox.
  • Jason Micallef, the relatively “unknown” writer of the feature film BUTTER, starring Hugh Jackman and Olivia Wilde, is writing the pilot of BASTARDS, another sitcom for Fox.
  • The far from unknown J.J.Abrams has extended his deal with Warner Brothers Television through 2015.
  • SONS OF ANARCHY creator Kurt Sutter has a deal at FX to write DIVA. CLOWN. KILLER,” a comedy to star his wife, Katey Sagal.
  • James Wong, an old TV hand from 21 JUMP STREET, THE X-FILES, and more, is set to write and produce OCCULT, a cop show that sounds a lot like X-FILES (but with Michael Bay producing so you know it won’t feel like X-FILES at all).
  • NUMB3RS co-creators Cheryl Heuton and Nicolas Falacci are writing and producing a pilot based on Elmore Leonard’s short story When the WOmen Come Out to Dance for USA.
  • Shaun Cassidy of INVASION and BLUE BLOODS is writing an unnamed spy pilot for Fox and will produce the show alongside HOMELAND’s Howard Gordon.

Sons of Anarchy‘s Kurt Sutter: There Is No Show Without Jax – by Natalie Abrams

Now that Jax has taken over as president of SAMCRO, the SONS OF ANARCHY antihero has finally fulfilled his destiny by following in his father’s — and stepfather’s — footsteps. Will Jax go the route of John Teller, who died in servitude of the club, or Clay, who lost his way and ultimately became the enemy of the club? Either path Jax takes, one thing is for certain: “There is no show without Jax.”

That’s what creator Kurt Sutter expressed to reporters at FX’s Television Critics Association fall TV previews Saturday. Going into the fifth season, Sutter said he’s already planning for the end. The show has been renewed for a sixth season, but Sutter plans on finishing the series with a seventh and final season should FX allow it. “I think we have a sense of it playing out in seven,” he said. “I don’t think [we’d continue on past seven, but] I don’t rule that out.” read article
