Buffy - Angel - Neuigkeiten | Aktuell: Alte und neue Rollen

[Peter von Frosta]

Aaarg, eine 40. Disc mit Bonusmaterial das es noch nicht gibt. Und dazu ist die Box auch noch super günstig (ca. 20€ pro Staffel).

Wobei mir das Design nicht sonderlich zusagt, und ich ja schon alle 7 RC1 Boxen habe.

Boreanaz Bites into 'Bones'

After playing the same tortured vampire with a soul for three seasons of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and five seasons of "Angel" on The WB Network, David Boreanaz is eager to carve a new niche.

Of course, that doesn't mean he's escaped being surrounded by the dead.

In "Bones," premiering Tuesday, Sept. 13, on Fox, Boreanaz plays FBI Agent Seeley Booth, a no-nonsense investigator reluctantly paired with forensic anthropologist and mystery-book author Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel), whose skill at analyzing skeletal remains yields clues to crime. Brennan takes her name from the fictional alter ego of the real scientist/novelist who inspired her, Kathy Reichs.
Rounding out the cast are Eric Millegan, T.J. Thyne, Michaela Conlin and Jonathan Adams.

While he respects Brennan's skills in the laboratory, Booth derides scientists as "squints" and believes they have no place poking around crime scenes. Brennan would rather be out in the field, making sure her bones are collected properly and seeing firsthand where the victims were found.

Together, Booth and Brennan are an effective if inharmonious team fond of needling each other about their different approaches. There's even a little sexual tension and comedy, which is an unusual mix in a crime procedural.

"That's the challenge," series creator Hart Hanson says. "We will either do terrifically well at it, or we will fail horribly. But we would like a little bit of the 'Moonlighting' thing. We would like a little bit of the 'Thin Man' thing."

Hart and producing partner Barry Josephson had a hard time finding Deschanel.

"We always said we needed three things from our lead actress on this show," Hanson says. "We needed her to be smart; we needed her to be sexy; we needed her to be funny. Those three legs of the stool are very rare."

Even a greater challenge was convincing Boreanaz that the role was for him. After a shaky first meeting, Hanson had to get on the phone and explain to the actor just why he was the perfect Booth.

"I told him that he had the presence of those old-time male movie stars," Hanson says. "I get in trouble saying it but today, there are so many waifs and boys. I didn't care about that for this. Booth's a sniper; he's an FBI agent. He's lived the life. I want a man with some heft, and David has that."

"And David's not pretty. David's handsome. If you're going somewhere dangerous, you want David."

And as a bonus, both in life and on the screen, Boreanaz can be very funny.

"Very dry humor," Hanson says. "He can do things with a flick of his eyeballs. I think of him as one of those old-time movie stars, Gary Cooper, Steve McQueen. He's got shoulders a yard wide. He's a force in the room."

"Booth's very black and white," Boreanaz says. "He believes that all men are created equal. He's a public-school guy, doesn't believe in private school. He doesn't think people should be catered to. He goes with his gut. His instincts are 100 percent correct, or so he may think."

All of this is fine with Boreanaz. "I love classic cars," he says. "I love old watches. Things today are fast, there's maybe too much at our fingertips, and it's just getting worse. Sometimes, if it ain't broken, don't fix it."

FOX holt mit «Bones» und «House» den Tagessieg

Mit der neuen Dramaserie «Bones» und der Premiere der zweiten Staffel von «House» konnte FOX am Dienstagabend die Tagescharts dominieren.

Das Debüt von «Bones» hat mit 10,48 Mio. Zuschauern das beste Ergebnis einer Drama-Premiere auf dem 20 Uhr Sendeplatz an einem Dienstagabend seit dem Start von «24» im Jahr 2001 eingefahren.

Noch größer dürfte die Freude über den Start der zweiten Staffel der Arztserie «House» ausgefallen sein. Nach einem eher enttäuschenden Start im vergangenen Herbst (7 Mio. Zuschauer) verfolgten dieses Jahr 15,7 Mio. Zuseher den Auftakt in die neue Season.

Mit dem vorgezogenen Start des 2005-2006 Line-ups hat FOX deutlich bewiesen, was für ein Potenzial in dem neuen Programm steckt. Nach jahrelangen Flops und einzelnen Highlights («American Idol») könnte dem Network wieder einmal eine große und erfolgreiche Season bevorstehen.

Charismas Auftritt bei Veronica Mars - 2x01 Normal is the Watchword: Slayerverse.de

Die erste Staffel der Serie läuft noch dieses Jahr im ZDF an. In der 6. Folge der Staffel gibt übrigens der Meister selbst, Joss Whedon, einen kurzen Auftritt zum Besten.

Joss Whedon, the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" creator who gushed online about UPN's "Veronica Mars" this summer, has been rewarded with a guest spot on the show. The network says he'll play a rental-car manager who has a scene with Veronica (Kristen Bell) in this season's sixth episode.

The cameo came about after Whedon effusively praised "Veronica Mars" on the Buffyverse-centric web site Whedonesque.com. Posting to the site's (which is independently run) boards last month, Whedon wrote:
"My peeps and I just finished a crazed Veronica Marsathon, and I can no longer restrain myself. Best. Show. Ever. Seriously, I've never gotten more wrapped up in a show I wasn't making, and maybe even more than those. Crazy crisp dialogue. Incredibly tight plotting. Big emotion, I mean BIG, and charismatic actors and I was just DYING from the mystery and the relationships and PAIN" (caps all his). "... These guys know what they're doing on a level that intimidates me. It's the Harry Potter of shows."

"Veronica Mars" creator Rob Thomas, whose show has often been compared to "Buffy," returned the praise on his own site, and also dropped the news that Whedon would make a guest appearance, which UPN has confirmed. The "Serenity" writer-director has popped up before on his shows "Angel" and "Firefly," but he's never appeared on someone else's.

Whedon is the second cult auteur booked for a guest spot on "Mars" this season. "Clerks" and "Chasing Amy" director Kevin Smith, a friend of "Mars" producer Dan Etheridge, will play a convenience-store clerk in the show's second episode.
