Michael J. Fox is plotting a full-time return to TV — and every network wants him!
The Family Ties icon and occasional Good Wife lawyer has teamed with writer Sam Laybourne (Cougar Town) and director Will Gluck (Easy A) on a single-camera comedy — in which he would star — and the four major networks (Fox, NBC, ABC and CBS) are eager to land the project.
Details surrounding the series — which is being developed by Sony Pictures Television for a 2013 launch — are scarce, but Vulture (which first reported the news) has confirmed that it will be inspired by Fox’s own life.

As soon as we thought we could predict the outcome of the Oscars, here comes another surprise! This one's brought to you by the Writers Guild of America. Picked for Best Original Screenplay was Christopher Nolan's "Inception." The director, famously dissed for not getting a Best Director Oscar nomination, may just win the Best Original Screenplay come Oscar night. Oscar front-runner, "The King's Speech" was not nominated because it didn't quality under union rules which prompted Nolan to say during his WGA acceptance award that he looked forward to a time when he could accept the award "without qualification."
That could be the beginning of a great script Mr. Nolan, go write it :happy
For adapted screenplay, I'm happy to report that Aaron Sorkin's fantastic script won! Based on "The Accidental Billionaires" by Ben Mezrich, "The Social Network" was the only film last year that I predicted to win this very category.

As Tambay mentioned in his Emmy post last week, it seems that webseries are the way forward when it comes to showcasing black talent. We’ve mentioned the web series Celeste Bright a few times here on the site, and finally the show is up and running. Created and written by a regular S&A reader Sonya Steele, it stars Ryan Michelle Bathe, and is co-directed by Joe Doughrity and Gregory Storm.
Hopefully the pace picks up considerably in subsequent episodes, but the mystery about our titular charcter certainly begins here in episode one, Person of Interst…...

We get through a fair few trailers on this website – for shorts, web series, TV series, independent features, studio fare… and in just about every category mentioned, there are good, bad and sometimes really very ugly… Seriously, after all the effort, time and money spent on dreaming up and executing a project, a one minute trailer can just about make or break the success of a film or series, or at least shape the pre-release/pre-broadcast reputation of the project, so one wonders why there are so many that just scream “fail!” from the first shot.
From time to time I get emails with links to trailers which just hurt my eyes, confuse rather than engage, or give me the abridged version of the story, often thereby rendering watching the entire film or episode of a series an unnecessarily time-consuming exercise. So it’s always nice to receive something that makes me pay attention.

Trailer for an upcoming web series created and written by Sonya Steele, co-directed by Joe Doughrity and Gregory Storm.
It’s titled Celeste Bright, and is described as a drama series that “follows investment banker Celeste (Ryan Michelle Bathe from Trauma), a woman who plays by her own rules, until an unsavory client (Brad Raider) makes her a target of FBI Special Agent Rick Taylor (Eddie Goines).”
I’m definitely intrigued by what I see in the below trailer, and I’ll be giving this a look when it debuts online in June, so stay tuned. In the meantime, check out the below trailer for Celeste Bright:
