We don't really delve into t.v. too much around these parts but a sitcom based around The Rolling Stones - really?

Developed by screenwriter Wesley Strick (Cape Fear, Doom) and based "loosely" on on the autobiographies of 1960's Rolling Stones producer-manager Andrew Loog Oldham, the sitcom is likely to be centered around a young Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Oldham - the guy who manages them!

Oldham's biographies are Stoned, and 2Stoned - so the former is likely to be the title of the show. 

Says Variety...
Project is described as a fictional account of a young man living the high life with artists and hipsters in London's vibrant Soho scene in the early 1960s. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's T.V. news but what the hell?

Though I'm going to tell you a little story first and why Bill Willingham's FABLES property is significant to me.



Earlier this year most of you won't know, I had plans to move away from my home, to give up my life in the dreary North East of England for the pursuit of a dream. You see, I've always wanted to be a movie producer, that's kind of why I ended up doing the gig I'm doing now.

Before Obsessed With Film took all my time away, I would read books, lots of books. I would love to hunt out really dog eared copies of forgotten novels, really obscure stuff, looking at their potential worth for film. Kind of like what Christopher Nolan did with the Christopher Priest novel THE PRESITGE. How he stumbled across a seemingly forgotten mid 90's novel which was loaded with so many exciting ideas and then springboarded that into a wonderfully deep movie which surpasses the novel in terms of scope and imagination.



There's so many stories out there just waiting to be found. I wanted to be the guy to find them. Well around this time last year, I got the ...]]></description>

Joss Whedon is said to have shut down production on Dollhouse for the time being, his first t.v. show since Firefly having decided that some of the scripts simply weren't up to scratch.


The show will star Eliza Dushku, who is due a decent role after a couple of years of under achieving, as Echo, one of a number of secret agents who's minds are wiped after each mission, and then re-programmed for the forthcoming job. Dushku's character will start to become self aware during the series and in a typically Whedon way, all hell is liable to break loose.

Production is due to start again in late September, once Whedon, who has been busy directing and developing feature films, is happy with the re-writes. With the show set for a mid-season release however, there appears to again be the time to do this, and Whedon's re-writes can hopefully only benefit the show.

Dollhouse is to be released in January on Fox, airing before 24, at 8pm on Mondays. It will also be part of Fox's "Remote-Free TV" initiative, which features less adverts and promos, leading to around six minutes extra show-time.

		<description><![CDATA[Ben Bruce here, the official t.v. correspondent for OWF...

Jack Bauer may well have been set to become an Exile in the upcoming TV movie, but now he's set for Redemption as producers have changed the name of his next outing.

The original name was 24: Exile, which seemed to suggest a moodier Bauer, mooching his way around Africa. Now it's been redubbed 24: Redemption, a name that points towards the events that we fully expect to occur during the show. (Jack angry at world, does something heoric, gets his perspective back.)


This change hasn't affected the release date, or the DVD release. The show get's its US airing on the 23rd of November, with the DVD out two days later. The DVD will be released in the UK on the 1st of December, after it's been aired on Sky One.

The current production of Series 7 is currently on hiatus again as the writers are investing more time in ensuring that they get the best possible show out there. Normally this might set the alarm bells ringing, but 8 of the episodes were completed before the writers strike back in 2007, so it would suggest that they do have the benefit of time ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spending the best part of the last 12 months trying to get his remake of Barbarella off the ground with his fiance Rose McGowan, director Robert Rodriguez may have found another project that the Planet Terror duo can work on.

It's a t.v. show titled WOMAN IN CHAINS and will be as exploitative and provocative as the title suggests...

McGowan will only be one of five females in chains, in the show which according to AICN contains "Sadistic Guards, Cafeteria Hosedowns, Mud Wrestling, and Violent Vendettas" and is once again set in the 1970' s and is a homage to a Grindhouse style of cinema.

The show was conceived by Joshua Miller and M.A. Fortin and is being shopped around various networks. HBO recently picked up a deal to do an American remake of the British prison drama Bad Girls... this should drum up the same kind of interest even if it's a little more out there.

Interesting and hell I'd see anything that has Rose McGowan in chains but when is Rodriguez going to return to being interesting again... and maybe follow-up his Sin City? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although the WGA strike is all but over, Lost is still going to suffer a series cull.

The Hollywood Reporter say that the current season of Lost will only run a MAXIMUM of 13 episodes, losing at least 8 episodes from it's original plan of 21.

Eight episodes were already scripted before the strike, with a further five now to be scribed and shot, though it's not expected that any of the major plotlines planned will be scrapped. They will simply "condense them" into the episodes and it's unlikely that the missed hours will be added to further seasons. So for those saying Lost moves to slow... I don't think that will be the case any longer!

It's also entirely possible that the 13 season run will air without any breaks now that the strike is over. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There's reports today around the web claiming that George Lucas is planning on bringing the new STAR WARS animated series to the big screen and although no official decision seems to have been made by LucasFilm at this time, something sure does seem to be brewing.

And after all it's not really that hard to believe is it? It's been nearly three years since his last money-making venture in the franchise and although INDY IV should keep him ticking over for a while, he just can't give up the ghost on that galaxy far, far away.

The first origin of today's story appears to be this U.K. action figure site which claims that the first three episodes of Lucas' upcoming CLONE WARS series will be distributed theatrically in the U.K. around September time, in what will be promoted as a 90 minute film. AICN picked up the story initially and then later in the day received an e-mail stating that the plan for the series is to actually release a film containing four episodes in the U.S. around the time of INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL'S release.

Which is ridiculously bizarre. Lucas would NEVER have two films of his ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, it's strictly not movie news but hey, everyone loves Lost right?

The fourth season of the best t.v. show this Millenium begins tonight in the U.S. (to be screened on Sunday in the U.K.) and if you're anything like me you have been counting down the days until the show returned to our screens.

For me it's this decade's STAR TREK. A show which plays with such deep mythology (sometimes it's own un-doing) and the most rich and fully rounded characters in any show I've ever seen.

Lots of unanswered questions remain from the last episode of Season 3. Who's funeral, who does Kate need to get back too? How the fuck did they get off the Island? I wouldn't expect anything to be resolved for some time because, well, that's the Lost way!

Let's re-live those last moments of Season 3, thanks to The Rec Show...

		<description><![CDATA[Just don't get me started on another CRASH/Paul Haggis rant.

CRASH, probably the most insulting and ridiculous film to ever win an Academy Award for Best Picture is to be translated into a t.v. series.

For the love of God, why?

Lionsgate will finance the show (mark of quality right there) which will run on the Starz Network for a 13-episode run, marking the channel's first ever original drama. It's said that none of the major characters from the film are likely to be present though Don Cheadle is said to be on board as director for a few episodes, something which Haggis himself will also do.

Haggis and Bobby Moresco, the joint screenwriters of the 2005 film will pen the pilot episode and it's a quick venture back onto the small screen after their crime drama series The Black Donnellys was officially cancelled after one season.

Kevin Beggs, the president of programming and production for Lionsgate told Variety their plan for the show...
“We’ll use the style of storytelling from the movie,” he said, “but there’ll be new characters and new stories to get into the subjects of race and class, and the bigotry that’s simmering under the skin of a city like Los Angeles.”

		<description><![CDATA[Xena and Hercules producers Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are setting up a new syndicated t.v. show titled Wizard's First Rule, based on the first of Terry Goodkind's best selling fantasy books "The Sword of Truth".

The first run series will screen 22 episodes, the first of which is to begin filming in May and is a joint venture between Disney ABC-Domestic Television and ABC Studio's. Presumably the scripts were turned in for this a while back so it can film during the WGA strike.

The series follows the transformation of Richard Cypher, a woodsman turned magical leader, in a world of mystical danger where he must save a woman from a bloodthirsty tyrant. Apparentaly the books are quite dark, with several murders and even rapes along the way... which will no doubt needed to be toned down for this kind of feature.

The novel on which the book is based on is probably most famous for the fact that author Terry Goodkind was 45 when he decided to give up his job and take up writing. Just one year later he was given an advance of up to $300,000, and it would became a massive international best-seller and one of the most ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love Joss Whedon's stuff.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of my favourite T.V. shows of all time. I love his run on Astonishing X-Men and the scripts he has contributed to down the years for things like Toy Story and Speed.

The only thing that has never quite clicked with me was Serenity/Firefly but ya know a lot of people dug those shows, so I'm just thinking maybe it wasn't made for me.

Variety had some really cool news yesterday that I didn't get chance to talk about. They say that Whedon is returning to write, direct and executive produce a new t.v. show after a couple of years absence after ditching the medium for television.

The show will be Dollhouse, with seven episodes commissioned initially commissioned by Fox.

The best bit of all is that his Faith from Buffy, the lovely Eliza Dushku will star...


Dollhouse follows a top-secret world of people programmed with different personalities, abilities and memories depending on their mission.

After each assignment -- which can be physical, romantic or even illegal -- the characters have their memories wiped clean, and are sent back to a lab (dubbed the "Dollhouse"). Show centers on Dushku's character, Echo, as she slowly begins to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So it's not movie news but this sounds pretty cool.

J.J. Abrams and his screenwriting duo on MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III and STAR TREK (yes those TRANSFORMERS guys again) are teaming with Warner Brothers and Fox to bring us FRINGE, a new supernatural T.V. show which he hopes will have the same kind of impact as LOST.

A $10 million+, 2-hour pilot will begin production once a suitable director and cast has been found.

From Variety...
"Fringe" mixes elements of "The X-Files" and Paddy Chayefsky's "Altered States" with what Abrams calls "a slight 'Twilight Zone' vibe." It will focus on brilliant but possibly crazy research scientist Walter Bishop, his estranged son and a female FBI agent who brings them together.

Episodes will explore self-contained mysteries of the paranormal, as well as the relationships between the three leads.
This sounds very much like THE X-FILES but ya know with Abrams, it will be something new and fresh. Here's some of quotes taken from the trade which gives us lots of info on this...
"It does the stuff my favorite TV shows and movies do, which is to combine genres that shouldn't fit together," Abrams said. "It's definitely meant to scare the hell out of you, but it's also meant ...]]></description>
