Julie Benz in Supernatural

Laut Ausiello wird Julie in einer Folge von *Supernatural* zu sehen sein

Frage:Genauso, wie ich VM und Lost liebe, möchte ich auch wissen, ob es irgendwas neues an der *Supernatural* Front gibt.

Ausiello: Es wird ein paar coole Gaststars geben. William B. Davis - aus X-Files - wird wohl einen bösen Professor spielen am 10.01. Und in der darauffolgenden Woche können wir Angels Julie Benz als Layla bewundern. Sie spielt eine junge Frau mit einem Gehirntumor, die die zweifelhafte Hilfe des Bösen sucht, um das nicht Heilbare, zu heilen.

Ex-'SVU' Star, 'Angel's' Gunn Join 'Conviction'

Stephanie March, who starred on "Law & Order: SVU" for three seasons, is going back to work for producer Dick Wolf.

March will reprise her character of prosecutor Alexandra Cabot in NBC's midseason drama "Conviction," about a group of young assistant DAs in New York. Former "Angel" star J. August Richards and Jordan Bridges ("Mona Lisa Smile"), son of Beau Bridges, have also joined the cast.

The show began filming this week in New York, using some of the same sets from Wolf's "Law & Order: Trial by Jury." In something of a departure from the "L&O" series, "Conviction" will delve into the characters' lives in addition to following the cases they try.

Wolf even has coined a term for the show: "Since 'Conviction' will be a 'charactercedural,' we will be dealing extensively with characters' back stories and personal lives," he says. "I am delighted with the extraordinary cast we have assembled, which will give the show depth and emotional intensity."

March played Cabot on "SVU" from 2000-03, when her character was presumed killed while pursuing a case against a drug cartel. She returned to guest-star in an episode last season, when it was revealed her death had been faked and she'd been in the witness protection program.

In "Conviction," Cabot will be the bureau chief for the group of young ADAs. The cast also includes Anson Mount ("Line of Fire"), Julianne Nicholson ("Ally McBeal"), Eric Balfour ("Sex, Lies & Secrets") and Milena Govich ("Rescue Me").

Sarah wird im zweiten Teil von The Grudge ihre Rolle als Karen erneut aufnehmen

Der Dreh für The Grudge 2 beginnt am 20. Januar 2006. Wieder unter der Feder von Takashi Shimizu.

Susco verriet, das Sarah Michelle Gellar, tatsächlich für den zweiten Teil des Horror Streifens zurück sein wird. "SMG ist zurück". Wir haben uns alle auf einen starken zweiten Teil eingestellt, der Sinn macht. Einen zweiten Teil zu einer entstehenden Geschichte. Und nicht nur mit dem Hintergrund, einen zweiten Teil zu machen, weil der erste besonders gut lief," sagt Susco, der sehr optimistisch ist, was G2's betrifft. "Ich denke wir sind unserem Ziel bisher recht nahe gekommen. Ich persönlich möchte, das der zweite Teil die Fans des ersten Teils begeistert und hoffentlich auch neue hinzugewinnt."
Dies ist Sarahs zweiter Trip in die Sequel Welt. Mit Scream 2 (Scoobie Doo nicht mitgerechnet) und eben The Grudge. Soweit man ihre zukünftigen Projekte bisher beurteilen kann, hat sie ein recht geschäftliches Jahr hinter und vor sich. Wir werden sie in Richard Kelly's *Southland Tales* sehen und in dem supernatural Thriller *The Return*.

Susco sprach sich weiter darüber aus, das er gerne Christopher Young (Composer) zurückhaben möchte für den zweiten Teil. Ghost House Projects plant The Grudge 2 am 20. Oktober 2006 veröffentlichen zu können. Mehr Hintergründe zum Cast folgen.

Die frostigen Favoriten von TV Guide

When you've had about all you can take of shopping, there is nothing like sitting down in front of the TV and watching some of your favorite holiday TV specials and episodes. So we recommend that you either rent or check listings for these favorites, perfect for curling up on the couch with your family and a cup of cocoa.

The Simpsons (Season 1, "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire")

Sure, the animation on this premiere Simpsons episode lacks the luster and color of the current seasons, but this holiday tale brought the offbeat family into our homes and hearts. Christmas is nearly ruined when Bart gets a tattoo that is supposed to say Mother (but ends up saying Moth), and all the gift-buying money is used to get it removed. D'oh! To make ends meet, Homer gets a job playing Santa (he does have the big belly) but loses the extra cash at the track. Double d'oh! In the end the only present that arrives on Christmas is the poor losing greyhound — Santa's Little Helper. But the kids are thrilled with the pup and he's welcomed to the family for years to come.


The O.C. (Season 1, "The Best Chrismukkah Ever")

Leave it to The O.C. to bring a new holiday into the lexicon. Seth Cohen, who is the offspring of a Jewish dad and a Christian mom, combines both Hanukkah and Christmas to get the best of both worlds — and the most presents. Despite the obstacles in front of him — his dad working through the holiday, his own dilemma of staying just friends with both Anna and Summer, Marissa getting busted for stealing a watch — Seth is determined to give Ryan the best first impression of the holiday. And while it's a long and rocky road, everyone surviving intact is one of the biggest Chrismukkah miracles of all time.

A Rugrats Chanukah

Seinfeld (Season 9, "The Strike")

Unique and completely different from most Christmas-themed episodes of a series, but what else would you expect from Seinfeld? Interspersed among Kramer's strike on a bagel store, Elaine's obsession with bad subs, Jerry's sometimes-unattractive girlfriend and George's creation of the Human Fund to get out of gift-giving, is the mention of the fledgling holiday created by George's father. Annoyed by the commercialization of Christmas, he invented Festivus, a holiday for the rest of us. On December 23 everyone gathers round the tinsel-free Festivus aluminum poll instead of one of those typical Christmas trees to enjoy a nice holiday dinner and air their grievances by telling loved ones how they've disappointed in the past year. Then the head of the family competes in tests of strength as others try to wrestle him to the ground. Sounds like good times.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Season 3, "Amends")

Not your typical holiday fare, but this touching episode highlights the tormented relationship of Buffy and Angel while bringing in the haunting ghostly themes from stories like A Christmas Carol. As the holidays approach and Buffy and her pals plan their celebrations, Angel is being plagued by nightmares and visions of Jenny Calendar (or a possessed version of her), whom he killed the previous year. Convinced that he will never be able to escape his demon side and that he'll always be a danger to those he cares about, the vampire with a soul heads to a mountain to commit suicide (of sorts) by sunlight. Buffy vainly tries to convince him that he is worthy of staying alive, but he refuses to budge as daybreak nears. But miraculously, it begins to snow for the first time ever in Sunnydale, providing a sun-free Christmas and extending Angel's existence on earth.

Joss Whedon als Gast-Kolumnnist bei TV-Guide über die Zukunft des Fernsehens:

Many people have asked me, "Joss, what is the future of television? What will we watch? And how will we watch it? Surely you must know, for you are wise, and slender." I usually smile and say nothing, because I wasn't actually listening to the question. But it's a good one, and I think it's time I let you in on a few highlights of Television-to-Be.

The networks will all be creating exciting, innovative new spin-offs of today's shows. Approximately 67 percent of all television will be CSI-based, including CSI: Des Moines, CSI: New York but a Different Part than Gary Sinise Is In and NCSI: SVU WKRP, which covers every possible gruesome crime with a groovin' '70s beat. (Jerry Bruckheimer will also have conquered Broadway with the CSI musical "FOLLICLE!" starring Nathan Lane as a frenetic but lovable blood spatter and Matthew Broderick as lint.)

Lost has that one-of-a-kind alchemy that really can't be copied. Therefore, look for the original series Misplaced, as well as Unfound, Not So Much with the Whereabouts and Just Pull Over and Ask!

In a stunningly cost-effective move, CBS will air How I Met Your Biological Mother, That Bitch, which is just old episodes of How I Met Your Mother with snarkier narration. HBO's Westminster will continue the trend pioneered by Deadwood and Rome by making 19th-century England really dirty and weird, like Jane Austen with Tourette's. (Actually, I can't wait for that one.) Also, the constant slew of cable mergers will result in the creation of CinePax, a channel that's just very confused about its morals.

Every year another film actress gets "too old" for film leads and finds a (sometimes much better) home on TV. This trend will continue a few years hence when the aging but feisty Dakota Fanning headlines CSI: Vancouver Made to Look Like Chicago.

Obviously, we'll see advances in technology. TiVo, iPods, streaming video — the way we watch TV is changing dramatically. It's on our phones, in our cars — even projected on specialized eyeglasses. But don't listen to the talk about having shows beamed directly into your brain. That's science-fiction nonsense. Shows will be stored in the pancreas and will enter the brain through the bloodstream after being downloaded into your iHole.

And what of me? My short-lived series Firefly was the basis for the epic action film Serenity (now available on DVD! I have little or no shame), and the future will see even more incarnations of this visionary work, as it returns to TV as Serenity: The Firefly Years, then back to film as Firefly: Serenity's Sequel, back to TV as SereniFly, and finally end as the direct-to-eyeglasses series Choose a Damn Name Already. I promise it'll be as heartwarming and exciting as the original Serenity, now available on DVD. (Explain again this thing you call shame....)

That's all I can tell you, except for one last thing: Veronica Mars will still be on. Veronica Mars will still be on. We clear about that?

Bye-ee!

(irgendwie brauchen wir einen Thread "Der Meister spricht..." für sowas :laugh: )
