‘Bones’ creator Hart Hanson dishes on Jared and November Sweeps
Bones creator, executive producer and fellow Canadian Hart Hanson tells TVGuide.ca about upcoming storylines, the return of Zack and hiring a nice Canadian boy to play Booth’s (David Boreanaz) younger brother Jared.
A brief excerpt:
Jumping ahead to the Dec. 3 episode, I just had to ask you, is ‘Double Trouble in the Panhandle’ where Booth and Brennan go undercover as a knife thrower and his assistant, as ridiculous as it sounds? It sounds like a fantastically hysterical episode … Is it funnier than the normal episodes?

HH: It is funnier than the average episode and then oddly, because it’s funnier, more touching for them. Andy Richter is in that as the ringmaster and he’s an incredibly good actor. It does sound like a whackadoodle episode and it is one of our odder ones, but I hope the audience goes with us as to why they would go undercover in a circus. It is one of my favourite episodes.

QUANTUM OF SOLACE is the most action-packed Bond movie yet, and one of the reasons the scenes looked so realistic is that Daniel Craig did his own stunts. Don't believe him? He's got the broken bones to prove it!

Ashley Greene in "Twilight"
Tuesday, 18 November 2008
By Christina Radish
Ashley Greene initially had plans for becoming a model. But, after being told that she was not tall enough to walk the runways, the 5'5" Florida native decided to take a commercial class, and quickly fell in love with acting. After a move to Los Angeles, she began working in film and television and, when Twilight was brought to her attention by her manager, the 21-year-old knew that she had to play Alice Cullen.
Greene recently took time out from her hectic schedule to talk to MediaBlvd Magazine about the highly anticipated film adaption of the hugely successful Young Adult vampire novel by literary icon Stephenie Meyer, hitting theaters on November 21st.

A brief excerpt:
MediaBlvd> Was it always Alice that you had auditioned for?
Ashley> I went in for Bella, originally. I went in for her two times and met with Catherine Hardwicke, but I wasn’t right for that. And then, they brought me back in for Alice. I was super-excited. I had read all three books by then because I liked the series so much. And then, I didn’t really hear anything. It went really well, and then I went home for Christmas, thinking I hadn’t gotten the part. I was upset about it. I cried about it. It was just one of those parts where I was like, “This is my part!” I wanted it, even from when the first time I went in. And then, I ended up getting a call and they were like, “Hey, by the way, you got the part!” I was super-excited. I called my mom and dad, and they cried. They were so excited. It was cute. It was one of those monumental things in your life. There are some parts where you’re just like, “This is my part, and nobody can do a better job,” and that was this. One of the greatest things I had on my side was that I fit the character description, minus the height. That worked in my favor. I hadn’t really done a lot of big stuff before, and that was part of the hesitation in them hiring me, but it worked out. I worked really hard. Everybody really stepped their game up.

Q&A: Fringe's Wacky Noble
12:00 AM, 18-NOVEMBER-08
They call Fox's Fringe a mystery thriller, but it's actually a crime show: John Noble steals every scene he's in.
No, seriously. Noble plays kooky scientist Walter Bishop, who seems to have some past connection to the weird phenomena that pop up week to week, but he's more likely to ramble on about gum or fruit cocktails. The Australian-born Noble is also known as King Denethor in the Lord of the Rings films, and he was kinda wacky in that, too.
Fox hosted a conference call with Noble on Nov. 13 to discuss upcoming episodes of the hit series, which airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Noble got excited about each question, addressed each reporter by name and relished his answers like a relative at a family reunion. The following Q&A features edited excerpts of that conference.
What great Walter moments are coming up on Fringe?

What great Walter moments are coming up on Fringe?
Noble: I guess there are always two things. There are the sort of bleak and dark moments that you see sometimes, and there are also the comedic moments. We've just finished up the final episode that will be going on in December, and there are a lot of Walter moments in there, just him being inappropriate, really. The next episode [airing Nov. 18], we see Walter from a different angle, very vulnerable. He goes back into the asylum again, and we see the very, very fearful man return for a while. Although he does have some wonderful moments early in the episode, when he goes back inside he turns back into this incredibly fearful, stuttering fellow that we saw when we first met him. It's a very interesting journey that we see Walter go through. He also solves these extraordinary things, either because he had done them in the past or because he simply has the intellect to think now. We're getting more episodes where Walter hasn't done that experiment sometimes, but he has the mind to be able to see a way through it...

The virtual world of 'Sanctuary'
04:00 PM PT, Nov 17 2008
On Sci Fi, the network renowned for "Battlestar Galactica" and the now-canceled "Stargate Atlantis," the new show "Sanctuary" has been chugging along successfully since its premiere a little over a month ago.
The show has been renewed for a second season after getting a fair amount of press attention (like on David Strick's Hollywood Backlot), but not a lot of it has been regarding the premise ("Even things that go bump in the night need protection...") or even the cast (Amanda Tapping, Robin Dunne, etc.). The main attention had been on the production approach: The series is pushing the envelope by shooting extensively on green screen with virtual sets.
The general perception is that effects cost money, which would make this an expensive show. But that perception may be off. Hero Complex contributor Jevon Phillips had a quick phone chat with Lee Wilson, the show's visual effects supervisor and co-producer, director of photography David Geddes ("Halloween: Resurrection" and "Dark Angel") that revealed the true colors of the green screen venture.
On the cost of the show
Geddes: I don't think everybody else can do this. It's just you and me!
Geddes: And by the way, we don't have any money to do it!

On the cost of the show
Wilson: The show, in comparison to some of the other science-fiction shows on, has way more effects than they have and considerably less 'to-do.' That has a lot to do with our plan for global domination ... we've been asked if this is the way of the future, is everybody going to do ...
Geddes: I don't think everybody else can do this. It's just you and me!
Wilson: That's right! ... Everybody is so keen on the show, we're just looking to push it that much further. The magic is just lots of hard work and enthusiasm. Certainly it's less expensive for us to create some of these impossibly large locations as a visual effect than it would be to go on location.
Geddes: And by the way, we don't have any money to do it!
