Terra Nova Co-Star Stephen Lang Calls Foxs Decision To Cancel Series Myopic

EXCLUSIVE: While Terra Nova star Jason O’Mara required to Twitter moments after Fox cancelled Terra Nova and it has been rallying fan support since, his co-lead on the program Stephen Lang hadn't said around the problem so far. Here's Lang’s response to the cancellation in the own words. Meanwhile Terra Nova producer twentieth century Fox TV, which in fact had been near employing a brand new showrunner for Season 2 when Fox drawn the plug, is within talks with Netflix about possibly obtaining the pre-historic drama. “Terra Nova is similar towards the Hubble Space Telescope. Within days of the much promoted and ballyhooed launch in 1990, the Hubble was discovered to possess a serious flaw. Yet despite an incorrectly ground mirror the Hubble shipped remarkable images. Once the flaw was remedied the Hubble shipped images of transcendent beauty and cost for several years. Also Terra Nova. Even just in it’s problematic first season each episode was filled with wonderful moments and delightful images. With correction, and because of the chance, Terra Nova will deliver seasons of transcendent images and story-telling. Neglecting to renew Terra Nova is shortsighted, as myopic because it ended up being scrap the Hubble. Terra Nova may be the Hubble Telescope of television.” – Stephen Lang

Friends With Kids the Best Bridesmaids Reunion That Never Was

Stephanie Zacharek's review pretty much confirmed this, but! For the record, Dear Consumer: "The advertisements emphasize the Bridesmaids pseudo-reunion, making it look like it's a rollicking comedic romp with Kristen Wiig, Jon Hamm, Maya Rudolph, and Chris O'Dowd all just giggling and making silly faces. [...] Those four, the Bridesmaids folk, they really don't have much to do other than pop in every 20 minutes or so to comment on the action, a sort of Greek chorus surrounding our two heroes. It's also worth noting that none of them is actually funny, by design. You know that scene you've seen the commercial where Wiig and Hamm sneak out of the restaurant bathroom, post coitus? That's in the first five minutes of the movie, right before a 'Four Years Later' insert. Wiig spends the rest of the film crying into various glasses of wine while Hamm yells at her. It's a real laugh riot." [Deadspin]

With its new development slate, Logo is making a concerted effort to reach gay audiences who engage in activities outside their core social group.

'Happy Endings' Guest James Wolk Is Open to Pilots

Nearly a year and a half after the warm critical reception and prompt demise of "Lone Star," buzzy lead James Wolk returns to television with two recurring roles.The 26-year-old actor recently started a stint on Showtime's "Shameless," and with the Feb. 8 episode of ABC's "Happy Endings," he kicks off a three-episode arc as Max's (Adam Pally) new/old boyfriend.Wolk spoke with "The Hollywood Reporter" about the new gig, segueing into sitcoms, pilot season and what he learned from the brief tenure on his first series."The 'Lone Star' experience was tough at the time," he says, "but it really allowed me to look at things from a 3,000-foot high view. You can think something is the greatest thing in the world, but, as we know, anything can happen. It really taught me that I always want to make choices that I believe in artistically. No one can take that away from you."His recent choices include "For a Good Time, Call...," an independent comedy that premiered (and sold quickly) at Sundance, and a turn in the Los Angeles production of "Next Fall" at the Geffen Playhouse. The latter ended right in time for an opportunity to appear on "Happy Endings.""It kind of popped up," says Wolk. "I actually watch the show and think it's fantastic. I was finishing up a play in L.A., and they kind of jumped out of nowhere and it was kind of a mutual affection."It also presented a chance for Wolk to take his first stab and television comedy. "I started in theater," he says. "I would liken sitcom work more to theater work than I would, perhaps, to dramatic television. It's so quick. It kind of feels like the pace of a play. It's just been refreshing."On "Happy Endings," Wolk plays Grant, Max's ex-boyfriend who stages an unexpected return on Valentine's Day as a client for his gypsy limo service. Wolk describes his character as the kind of guy who "wears a great vest and tie combo.""The group never really takes to anybody, particularly Max," says Wolk. "I think Max and Grant really have an affection for each other because they're complete opposites. Where Max is very laid back, unkempt at times, Grant is very put together."Wolk speaks warmly of the part, but he seems even more fond of the opportunity it afforded him."Doing this arc on 'Happy Endings' has spurred in me this excitement for comedy," he tells "THR." "It's like taking a bite of great food, and you want more. I'm excited for people to see me in that light and thankful for the experience -- because now I want to get back to that."And with his face popping up on two popular series as the current crop of pilots start casting leads, it's natural to wonder if Wolk is hoping to parlay his guest gigs into another stab at full-time series work."I am open," he admits. "I think you always want to be open to things... it's just the matter of finding something I believe in, finding a character I believe in, and I think that's the way it should always be. I'm looking for things that excite me."That includes "Happy Endings." Wolk, only booked for this limited run, says the show is something he'd gladly to return to -- particularity for the onscreen sparring with Pally."You've got to be on your toes. You've got to bring your A-game, because this guy, he throws it all at you," Wolk says. "Anytime you get to join a group of people you admire and respect, you want to keep those doors open."

Saura, Querejeta re-team on '33 dias'

MADRID -- Spain's Carlos Saura is attached to direct "33 dias," about Pablo Picasso's emotional turmoil as he painted masterpiece "Guernica." Title refers to the time Picasso spent on the mural, which captured his reaction to the destruction of Basque town of Guernica in 1937 by the Nazi Luftwaffe during the Spanish Civil War. Project re-teams Saura with Elias Querejeta, producer of many of Saura's modern classics: "The Hunt," "Raise Ravens" and "Deprisa, deprisa."

Production company Cinevedas, with offices in France, Canada and India, will co-produce. Triple Academy Award-winning cinematographer Vittorio Storaro ("Apocalypse Now," "Reds," "The Last Emperor") is in advanced negotiations to join the project, producer Alberto Rojo told Variety. "33 dias" would mark Saura and Storaro's seventh collaboration. The French- and Spanish-language shoot rolls next summer in Paris and Guernica, where producers will reproduce Picasso's Paris studio. Producers are talking to an international cast that could include French thesp Jose Garcia as Picasso. Some of the new project's story line, drama and key images will draw on Saura's prior fiction pics with Storaro, such as "Goya in Bordeaux," "Tango" and "Io, Don Giovanni," Rojo added.

"Dias" "focuses on Picasso's relationship with (his lover) Dora Maar, a fascinating character," Saura told Spanish newspaper El Pais. Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com
