Summer Glau moves to ‘The Cape’

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Summer Glau is back.

Glau, who has probably starred in more cult sci-fi series than any other actress, with stints on Fox’s “Firefly,” “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” and “Dollhouse,” has joined NBC’s superhero-themed drama pilot “The Cape” in a leading role.

In the pilot, directed by Simon West, a former cop (David Lyons) is set up as a criminal and becomes a masked hero, the Cape, to clear his name.

Glau will play Orwell, a cute and intrepid investigative blogger who fearlessly goes after corrupt cops and costumed bad guys.

And yes, she gets physical and is quite capable of kicking ass.

Glau will next be seen in the Lifetime Movie Network film “Deadly Honeymoon.”

Shirley Manson to Make Big Screen Debut in Douglas Gordon Horror Film?

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

The Herald Scotland reports that Shirley Manson is set to star in a horror film directed by visual artist Douglas Gordon. Gordon’s most recent film, Zidane, un portrait du 21e siècle, is a documentary about French football player Zinedine Zidane. The Herald says:

Now she [Manson] is set to make her big screen debut in a horror film, after agreeing to work with Turner Prize-winning Scottish artist Douglas Gordon on his feature film.

Manson’s only acting role to date has been in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, playing a morphing killer robot, but now Mr Gordon has specially written a role for the 43-year-old.

Yesterday Manson said: “I would love to be in it. I’d be great in horror – you know it. I’m scary. I’m in. I’m sold.”

Read the full story at The Herald.

Manson and Gordon will be appearing on BBC Two (Scotland only) Tuesday, March 9 at 10 pm local time. From the BBC:

Rock goddess Shirley Manson and Turner Prize-winning artist Douglas Gordon hang out in the taxidermy department of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum to discuss images, ideas, influences and inspiration.

Program information is available at the BBC website.

HBO greenlights ‘Game of Thrones’ to series

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Winter is, indeed, coming.

HBO has greenlighted highly anticipated fantasy series “Game of Thrones.”

The premium network has picked up the project for a first season debut next spring (below is the first released photo from the series). Nine episodes plus the pilot have been ordered. Production will begin in Belfast this June.

From the moment the project was first announced in development, the series based on the George R.R. Martin novels has generated enormous, perhaps unprecedented, online interest for a series at such an early stage.

The sprawling tale set in the mythical land of Westeros tells the story of the noble Stark family who become caught up in high court intrigue when patriarch Eddard (played by Sean Bean) becomes the king’s new right-hand man. The four-and-counting books in the series would each be used as one season of the series.

Unlike many fantasy novels, the “Thrones” series largely avoids relying on magical elements and instead goes for brutal realism — think “Sopranos” with swords. Martin, a former TV writer (“Beauty and the Beast”), writes each chapter as a cliffhanger, which should lend itself well to series translation.
