The UK Writer in US TV

I’ve been urged to share my experience of writing for the American TV system as I’ve experienced it these past few months. Here’s how it went: 1. On the back of the Eleventh Hour remake I get an invite to meet the Bruckheimer gang, aka JBTV, to talk about developing something new, and at the…

Green Lantern

YouTube carries more than one fan mashup trailer for a nonexistent live-action Green Lantern film using reprocessed clips from existing blockbusters. This one craftily blends in shots of Nathan Fillion in the Hal Jordan role. Great casting idea. The Fillion Green Lantern is a movie that I’d happily pay money to see. For the moment…

Planet Hood

CBS online have dropped Eleventh Hour from the shows listed on their site and closed the fan forum, but the fanac has relocated to Planet Hood, a dedicated site with a new forum that pretty much picks up where the old threads left off. From the way they’ve laid out the stall, it looks as…

Eleventh Hour – We’re Cancelled

Well, I just got the news and the news ain’t good. CBS have made their decision and Eleventh Hour isn’t getting a second season. We had the numbers, we had great fans, we had a cracking set of new stories ready to go, but the show isn’t being picked up. This is a message for…

Old FX Men Never Die

I just read this on the website for Keswick’s newly-opened attraction, The Bond Museum. It’s a sister museum to The Cars of the Stars, Peter Nelson’s collection of movie action vehicles. “The jetpack in our museum was assembled for the major Paris Bond exhibition and using some of the original bits from the late Bert…

Rosemary and Laura Go Gothic

When Nick Elliot stepped down as Controller of ITV Drama, Director of Television Simon Shaps and new Drama Controller Laura Mackie announced the cancellation of a number of the channel’s successful shows in a kind of ‘image makeover’ favouring youth and ‘edginess’. Foyle’s War was one of the casualties, and Rosemary and Thyme was another…

The Writers’ Guild at 50

Here’s a thing I didn’t know: if you’re a member of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain and you sell a script in the US, the hefty WGA registration fee is waived. And WGA membership is a requirement over there, not an option. This just received from Tom Green: The Writers’ Guild of Great Britain…

On the set of Crusoe

The Crusoe Region 1 boxed set is now officially out, with the first torrented rips preceding it online like pageboys scattering rose petals ahead of the bride. But really, save your bandwidth and your blank discs; at $19.99 from Amazon piracy really isn’t worth the trouble, even when you add international postage. It’s also available…

Eleventh Hour US

We – I say we, because the Bruckheimer gang have gone out of their way to make me feel a part of the team – are going through a weird-feeling time at the moment, waiting to see if CBS are going to opt for a second season. The show has its champions, and also its…
