Glee-ful Casting News Well did I call it or did I call it? Really, I think we all saw this coming (or had our fingers crossed that it would). Pending approval from CBS, Neil Patrick Harris will be scheduled for a guest appearance on Glee in a role written specifically for him! This episode will also reunite NPH with Joss Whedon, who worked together on the internet sensation Dr. Horrible. Whedon will be taking over directorial duties on this episode.
In equally exciting guest star news, creator Ryan Murphy is in talks with Jennifer Lopez who would be taking on the role of lunch lady. Plus, a certain one-named pop super star may make a cameo in an the episode dedicated to her catalog. Click here for more details.
Mad for Liz: Jon Hamm will be reprising his role as Liz's ex Drew on 30 Rock's Valentine's Day episode. Michael Sheen will also be doing a guest stint on 30 Rock attempting to woo good ol' Liz. Between sleeping with James Franco and hooking up with Danny, the new cast member, Liz has been getting some serious action this season!
Chuck Scoop- Our favourite converse-clad spy will have his Dad back in the picture. Scott Bakula will be returning as part of a major story-line towards the end of the third season.
Back for More? At the TCA press tour president of the network John Landgraf mentioned a lunch he has scheduled with Joss Whedon. This doesn't mean that a Whedon-produced show is in the works, although FX seems to be courting Whedon to produce a show for the network in the next year or two. Given the track record Whedon has with FOX with his prematurely canceled Firefly and recently axed Dollhouse, do you think Whedon will go back to do more work with FX? Or will he be given a chance this time before shuttling him off to a Friday night slot.
Caprica Countdown - The two-hour television premiere of Battlestar Galactica's prequel, Caprica will air this Friday night. In preparation for the event, Caprica star Alessandra Torresani, a self professed sci-fi nerd, talks about her role in the new show and the importance of the support of BSG fans to the new show. "We're a completely different show and we're a different style of show" she says. It wont contain the same kind of action, but it's based in the same mythology of its predecessor.
Rebuilding Torchwood Stateside In a bid to produce more sci-fi programming that they can shift to Friday nights and cancel, FOX will be producing an American version of Torchwood. There are some hopeful points in this production. The creator of the original, Russel T. Davies will remain on board, and John Barrowman may be staying on in the role of Captain Jack Harkness. I doubt anyone could carry the role like he does, Captain Jack is all about his sexuality and Barrowman has chemistry will anything (man, woman, alien) he shares a scene with.
I'm doubtful that the U.S. incarnation will carry the adult subject matter and daring edge that defines Torchwood as a program. Do you think this re-make will make it?
