TNT‘s upcoming Mob City (Dec. 4) has released new key art, and basically the show is laying its cards on the table… do with that what you will. It’s a show that builds in as much audience as it might hope for just by putting Frank Darabont on display, and it even throws in some actors from The Walking Dead for good measure.
Of course, it also has the mob, Ed Burns, and takes place in the ’40s (period is popular).
But, just in case that isn’t enough… well, it has this poster.

Fans of quality television are getting their fix from cable networks these days, and TNT has another effort that it hopes is going to soar, Mob City. From Frank Darabont, and missing no opportunities to promote the connection to The Walking Dead, Mob City is based on the book L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City.
I suppose there are only so many stories, but even with enough mob shows coming down the pike in recent years, there’s something about a period drama that sells.

TNT has set a premiere date for "Mob City," an upcoming drama created by Frank Darabont ("The Walking Dead"). This event series will premiere on Dec. 4, 2013.
The show focuses on an epic battle that arises between a Los Angeles police chief and a mobster in 1947. Detective Joe Teague (Jon Bernthal) is an ex-marine who has just been assigned to a mob task force headed by Detective Hal Morrison (Jeffrey DeMunn). They're part of a larger effort by Police Chief William Parker (Neal McDonough) that is supposed to remove mob-related criminals from La. The cops will, however, have trouble getting rid of mobsters like Ben "Bugsy" Siegel (Ed Burns) and Mickey Cohen (Jeremy Luke). Chief Parker has to be ruthless with the criminals -- and also with anyone on the police force who might be corrupt.
Other actors involved in the project include Gregory Itzin, Robert Knepper, Milo Ventimiglia and Alexa Davalos.

Darabont leaving The Walking Dead may have been loathed by many at the time, but when we see how epic his new TV show looks they might be singing a different tune. Based on John Buntin's book, L.A. Noir: The Struggle For The Soul Of America’s Most Seductive City. Originally titled L.A. Noir, the show has now had to change its name due to the Rockstar Video Game titled L.A. Noire.
Now titled Lost Angels, the show will cover some of the same history covered by Gangster Squad. In addition to the name change, it looks like Simon Pegg will appear in a small role. Darabont recently spoke to io9 about the name change and Pegg's role in the show.
It was going to be called L.A. Noir, based on the book by John Buntin.

There were still plenty of excellent jazz albums to choose from. Jazz isn't dead, it just has to live on a fixed income.

Saxophonist David S. (Spencer) Ware was a towering presence on the New York free jazz scene, an artist of compelling gravity and musical intensity. Even after health problems that culminated in a 2009 kidney transplant, he came back strong, his post-operation return coming in a completely solo concert that was a strong statement. This year, the kidney problems returned, and he passed away last night after being hospitalized.
As I once wrote here, Ware united two strands of free jazz: the powerfully full-toned tenor sax blower, and the intellectual craftsman. Although Ware was classified as a free jazz player, he was mentored by Sonny Rollins (who among other things taught him circular breathing), and Ware's music looked back to some earlier jazz styles, though almost always in a fully assimilated way that had no revivalism about it.
Ware started playing around age 11. Oddly, while he played alto and baritone saxes plus bass in school,...

Frank Darabont has received the green light from TNT on his new TV series, which is based on the novel "L.A. Noir." The network has agreed to pick up the six-episode first season of the show.
Though Daranont's new series has been going by the name "L.A. Noir," TNT said the project is untitled in their press release announcing the series pick-up. "L.A. Noir" is the name of the John Buntin book that this series is based on, not to be confused with the popular video game, "L.A. Noire," which came out last year.
Darabont has brought two of his "Walking Dead" alums with him to this new series. Jon Bernthal and Jeffrey DeMunn, both of whom were killed off on AMC's hit zombie apocalypse show after Darabont was fired last year, will headline this project. "Heroes" star Milo Ventimiglia, "The Happening's" Jeremy Strong and "Desperate Housewives...

It was back in May when we last heard about Frank Darabont's brewing "L.A. Noir," and its status was uncertain. The pilot episode had wrapped, but a decision was still pending from TNT as to whether or not they would be pushing forward with it. Now, fourth months later, not only do we have our first moody image, it comes with the news that the network has ordered up a six-episode first season of the show. A nice rebound for Darabont after an acrimonious exit from "The Walking Dead." Based on the book by John Buntin, and featuring ex-'Dead' Jon Bernthal alongside Neal McDonough, Milo Ventimiglia and Thomas Jane, a guest appearance by Simon Pegg and more, the show will center on an ex-Marine turned L.A.P.D. cop (Bernthal) who finds himself in the middle of the war between Captain William Parker (McDonough) and infamous gangster Mickey Cohen.

"The Shawshank Redemption" director Frank Darabont is headed back to the small screen with a new project after being booted off "The Walking Dead," the massively successful zombie series he created and initially ran for AMC and that kicked off its third season this past Sunday. Darabont's been working on a Los Angeles-based period drama called "L.A. Noir" for TNT. Based on the nonfiction book by John Buntin, the show tracks the true story of the conflict between the Lapd, under the leadership of Police Chief William Parker (played by Neal McDonough), and a criminal network headed up by boxer-turned-gangster Mickey Cohen during the 1940s and ’50s. According to Variety, TNT's going ahead with the high-profile series, having ordered six episodes, while potentially ditching the title. Former "Walking Dead" star Jon Bernthal has the lead role as Joe Teague, a former Marine working as a cop who deals with corruption in.

Frank Darabont's new period crime drama, previously titled "L.A. Noir," has been picked up by TNT. This is no surprise, as Darabont created AMC's successful "The Walking Dead," from which he was booted (greed and ego were involved). Set in 1940s and '50s Los Angeles, the new series is based on John Buntin's novel about the battles between Lapd chief William Parker and crime lord Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn plays him in the upcoming "Gangster Squad," across from Nick Nolte's Parker). Darabont has snagged two "Walking Dead" stars, Jon Bernthal and Jeffrey DeMunn (now that they've been killed off). Bernthal will play the central ex-Marine cop who must deal with corruption among the force. Joining him are Neal McDonough, Milo Ventimigila and Jeremy Strong. In the pilot, Thomas Jane and Simon Pegg also star. Six episodes are on order at TNT, with producers Darabont, Michael De Luca and Elliott Webb.

Good news today for Frank Darabont, who has mixed fortunes on the goggle box recently. While he launched The Walking Dead to great acclaim, he was forced to step down from that show at the start of the second season. He moved on to make a pilot for La Noir and now Us channel TNT has ordered a six-episode season of the show. The first official picture from the series is above.La Noir adapts John Buntin’s book and finds a roster of cops battling mobsters in the same era as Gangster Squad, even to the point that the primary menace is again Mickey Cohen.The focus here, though, is Joe Teague (Jon Bernthal), a former Marine now working as part of the Lapd at a time when police corruption is rampant. Mayor Fletcher Bowron (Ron Rifkin) is determined to root out the bad element and also take down Cohen’s mob.

The Cookers: Believe (Motema)
I love this group for featuring Billy Harper, one of the most underrated tenor saxophonists and jazz composers on the scene. That said, it is pretty much an all-star band; the arguable exception, trumpeter David Weiss -- the youngest member -- is the arranger of all the non-Harper tracks on the band's third album, and thus puts as much of a stamp on the project as anyone. The other players are trumpeter Eddie Henderson, long a member of Harper's superb quintet; alto saxophonist Craig Handy, the second-youngest member, who used to have another band with Weiss (pop-culture aside: they also collaborated on the music for The Cosby Mysteries); and the ace rhythm section of pianist George Cables, bassist Cecil McBee, and drummer Billy Hart, all three of whom contribute compositions here.

While Thomas Jane is best known for -- and usually relegated to -- roles that play on his physique and his overt whiff of testosterone, he's somewhat underrated. As anyone who watched HBO's excellent, funny and sadly cancelled "Hung" knows, Jane's man-meat persona was put to good use playing a gigolo in economically-ravaged Detroit, trying to make ends meet for his ex-wife and kids. He was great in the role, showing both the raw sexuality he can project and a tender, softer side as well. All this to say the dude has more range than you might expect, but then again, if you just want him to knock some heads, he can do that too.
And we presume that's what Frank Darabont is looking for, as he's lining up the actor to play famed gangster Bugsy Siegel in his brewing "L.A. Noir." After his somewhat controversial exit from "The Walking Dead" last summer,...

The final trends covered in this brief overview of this year’s pilot season are the new bout of network sitcoms and also the new cable shows that are fighting their way onto your screens.
Sitcoms appear to be following the trend of success stories like Modern Family and New Girl and becoming more single-camera based than traditional multi-camera. Multi-camera sitcoms being the shows recorded in front of audiences on sets a la Friends and Seinfeld, whilst single camera sitcoms are the ones that are shot more like films with plenty of different locations a la Parks and Recreation and Community. This trend doesn’t seem to apply, however, if you’re CBS, the network appears to be enjoying a renaissance of multi-camera sitcoms with the successes of How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory which were both picked up for multiple seasons earlier this year.

Now that he’s left The Walking Dead far behind him, Frank Darabont can focus on his new TNT pilot, L.A. Noir, and thank goodness for that. As cool as The Walking Dead is, L.A. Noir is building itself quite an impressive cast and has just added another big name to the list. Despite a blossoming film career, which began with the romantic zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead, Simon Pegg has found the time to lend his considerable talents to the highly anticipated pilot.
According to TVLine, Pegg’s role is a tightly kept secret, easily causing me endless amounts of stress because I Want To Know! Darabont is a wonderful creator and did a marvelous job whenever he was allowed to do whatever he wants. The best episodes of The Walking Dead were written and directed by Darabont. Whatever part he has cooked up for Pegg will likely be beyond praise worthy.

Funnyman Simon Pegg will have to trade in his Starfleet uniform and phaser for a fedora and a gun as he's now set to join the pilot of Frank Darabont's gestating adaptation of John Buntin's epic saga "L.A. Noir: The Struggle For The Soul Of America's Most Seductive City" for the cable network TNT.
No word on what role Pegg will play but he is noted to be a "guest star," which seemingly implies it's not a role that will carry on if/when the series is picked up. This is likely due to the fact that Pegg resides in London and has other film commitments; he's currently shooting with J.J. Abrams and company on the highly anticipated "Star Trek" sequel and might be re-teaming with cohorts Edgar Wright and Nick Frost for "The World's End" sometime this year as well.
