Based on Wondery’s hit podcast, DR. DEATH is inspired by the terrifying true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch (Joshua Jackson), a rising star in the Dallas medical community. Young, charismatic and ostensibly brilliant, Dr. Duntsch was building a flourishing neurosurgery practice when everything suddenly changed. Patients entered his operating room for complex but routine spinal surgeries and left permanently maimed or dead. As victims piled up, two fellow physicians, neurosurgeon Robert Henderson (Alec Baldwin) and vascular surgeon Randall Kirby (Christian Slater), as well as Dallas prosecutor Michelle Shughart (AnnaSophia Robb), set out to stop him. DR. DEATH explores the twisted mind of Dr. Duntsch and the failures of the system designed to protect the most defenseless among us

Ok so the friends reunion is not an extra episode. Guess that is good because it would likely be terrible, especially with the amount of ‘stars’ involved.

Its notable how great the female cast look and just how wrecked the male members look these days!

Shane Meadows to make first BBC series with period drama ‘The Gallows Pole’
https://www.screendaily.com/news/shane-meadows-to-make-first-bbc-series-with-period-drama-the-gallows-pole-exclusive/5159734.article

Quote

UK filmmaker Shane Meadows is to make his first-ever BBC television drama with The Gallows Pole, produced with UK-Irish producers Element Pictures.

The series, based on the 2017 novel of the same name by Benjamin Myers, fictionalises the true story of 18th-century ironworker David Hartley and the Cragg Vale Coiners.

Set against the backdrop of the coming industrial revolution in 18th-century Yorkshire, the drama follows Hartley as he assembles a gang of weavers and land-workers for a criminal enterprise that will capsize the economy and become the biggest fraud in British history.

The Gallows Pole is an incredible true story, little known outside of Yorkshire, about a group of very naughty men and women who started clipping and counterfeiting coins out in the Moors, as a way to keep themselves and their community alive,” said Meadows. “I’ve never made a period drama before so I’m absolutely buzzing, and to be doing it with Piers at the BBC, his incredible team, and Element Pictures is nothing short of an honour.”

Myers’ novel on which the series is based won the 2018 Walter Scott Prize for historical fiction, which is one of the largest literary prizes in the UK. It has previously been won by novels which have subsequently been adapted for the screen, including Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall, Andrea Levy’s The Long Song and Robert Harris’ An Officer And A Spy.

 

Brandon Cronenberg To Direct TV Series Based On JG Ballard Novel ‘Super-Cannes’

Quote

Brandon Cronenberg (Possessor) has been set to adapt and direct a limited series based on JG Ballard’s novel Super-Cannes.

Super-Cannes, first published in 2000, is set in an ultra-modern high tech business park in the hills above Cannes, where a global elite has gathered to form a closed, uber-capitalist, and high-tech community. A place of luxury homes, private doctors, and private security, this enclave hides an underworld of crime, sexual perversion, madness and manipulation that is rapidly spiraling out of control.

Ballard, one of Britain’s most acclaimed recent writers, is known for novels including The Drowned World, Crash, High-Rise and Empire Of The Sun. Jeremy Thomas and David Cronenberg famously teamed up on a feature version of Crash, while Steven Spielberg adapted Empire Of The Sun in 1987, garnering six Oscar nominations. The author passed away in 2009.

 

Jon Bernthal, Jamie Hector, Josh Charles to Star in HBO Series ‘We Own This City’ From ‘The Wire’ Team

Jon Bernthal, Josh Charles, and Jamie Hector are set for three of the lead roles in the HBO limited series “We Own This City” from the team behind “The Wire.”

In addition to the castings, Reinaldo Marcus Green has joined the series as director and executive producer. Variety reported that the series was set up at the premium cabler back in March.

Based on the book of the same name by Baltimore Sun reporter Justin Fenton, “We Own This City” is a six-hour limited series chronicling the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force — and the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work.

Bernthal will star as Sgt. Wayne Jenkins of the Baltimore Police Department, perhaps the central figure in the sprawling federal corruption case that centered on the agency’s Gun Trace Task Force. The plainclothes unit went completely rogue and began hunting and robbing citizens and drug dealers alike as decades of a relentless drug war and mass incarceration in Baltimore spun wildly out of control.

Hector will play Sean M. Suiter, a Baltimore City Homicide detective who was caught up in the GTTF case and called to testify before a federal grand jury. Tragically, Suiter finds he can’t outrun his past.

Charles will play Daniel Hersl, a cocky, swaggering cop known amongst Baltimore residents for his casual brutality who was the subject of multiple citizen complaints. Hersl was effectively banned from the Eastern District before his move to the GTTF.

Simon and Pelecanos are writers and executive producers on “We Own This City” along with Ed Burns. All three worked together on “The Wire,” which was created by Simon.

This could be good.

Mike Myers’ new Netflix comedy series has officially been titled “The Pentaverate,” with the show adding six new cast members.

Ken Jeong (“Crazy Rich Asians,” “Community”), Keegan-Michael Key (“Schmigadoon,” “The Prom,” “Lion King”), Debi Mazar (“Goodfellas,” “Younger”), Richard McCabe (“The Audience,” “Eye in the Sky”), Jennifer Saunders (“Absolutely Fabulous,” “Death on the Nile”), and Lydia West (“Years and Years,” “It’s a Sin”) will all appear alongside Myers in the series, with Myers set to play seven new characters himself. Production is currently underway on the six-episode show.

In the half-hour series, five men have been working to influence world events for the greater good since the Black Plague of 1347. As the show begins, one unlikely Canadian journalist finds himself embroiled in a mission to uncover the truth and just possibly save the world himself.

Fans of Myers will recall that he referenced The Pentaverate in the 1993 film “So I Married an Axe Murderer,” in which he played both the film’s lead, Charlie Mackenzie, as well as his outspoken Scottish father, Stuart. In the film, Stuart claims The Pentaverate is comprised of “The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, and Colonel Sanders before he went tits up.”

I'm going to predict it culminates in another Black Plague in 2025 or so.

I've never seen these before, but they are hilarious. And yet... I am uncertain how you could possibly make it work as a cartoon series, but Dan Harmon may have a good idea. It could end up very cringey, Coneheads-style... or it could be a fun way to hold up a mirror to all the strangeness and silliness of human existence.

Yeah, they suddenly appeared on my newsfeed on facebook a few years ago, and it was always great.  I hope it isn't too similar to other animated shows, i think there is more than one with aliens attempting to live a stereotypical Western suburban human family life.
