Alexander Skarsgard and Brit Marling will star in a thriller-drama titled The East. It centres on a young woman who infiltrates an eco-terrorist group, led by Skarsgard's character. (The Playlist).
Jim Sturgess joins the cast of Cloud Atlas; doesn't tell us anything that we didn't already know, ie. that all of the actors (Tom Hanks, Hugo Weaving, Ben Whishaw, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, Jim Broadbent and Bae Doona) will play several characters. (Slashfilm)
Ron Moore (Battlestar Galactica) has sold a pitch for a procedural set in turn-of-the-century Wild West to ABC. Hangtown is: "set in the early 1900s in a frontier town that’s begun rapidly expanding with the coming of the railroad. It centers on three characters: the Marshal, a Matt Dillon/Clint Eastwood type who prefers to solve crimes by his instinct; a young doctor from the East Coast who is interested in using the new field of forensics to solve crimes; and a young woman writer who is trying to sell dime novels to the publishing houses in New York about crime in the Wild West. Every week the instincts of the Marshal, the science of the doctor, and the young woman’s drive to tell a rousing good yarn to her editors combine to solve crimes in a wide-open, lawless town."
Pictures and spoilers for series 2 of Downton Abbey.
