Abeckaser is set to direct I Love Us. The romantic crime-drama is being produced by Abeckaser along with Wild7Films’ Kyle Stefanski and Mike Hermosa, and Above The Clouds’ Jeff Hoffman. Pic will star Abeckaser, Katie Cassidy, Robert Davi, David James Elliot, Jackie Cruz, Harlow Jane, Jasper Polish and Greg Finley. Script comes from Kosta Kondilopoulos. The film will follow a seasoned thief who trades in his criminal ways for a “normal” married life. But when tragedy strikes, he’s forced to take “one last job” in order to pay off old debts and keep his new family together, creating conflict all around him. Danny A. Abeckaser launches new crime film ‘I Love Us’ by Frankie Stein Feb. 24, 2021https://filmdaily.co/indie-film/danny-a-abeckaser-i-love-us/ Quote Filmmaker Danny A. Abeckaser has announced that his next release will be the family crime drama I Love Us. The film will delve into the relationship between a seasoned thief named Sammy Silver who vows to give up his criminal ways when he finds true love. Once tragedy strikes, however, the thief is forced to accept one last job to keep his new family together. * * * The upcoming film boasts a stellar ensemble cast made up of Katie Cassidy, Robert Davi, David James Elliot, Jackie Cruz, Greg Finley, Jasper Polish, and Harlow Jane. Additional supporting roles will be filled by James Madio, Courtney Lopez, Elya Baskin, Eliad Nachum, Duke George, George Andreakis, Rodney Rinks, Frank Florio, Diana Madison and Dana Davis. Katie Cassidy will play Sammy’s wife Laura, and is best known for her role in The CW’s Arrow. She’s also the daughter of 70s singer David Cassidy. Harlow Jane and Jasper Polish will play Sammy’s daughters, and both actresses have famous real-life parents as well. Jane is the real-life daughter of actors Patricia Arquette & Thomas Jane, and Jasper Polish is the real-life daughter of Michael Polish and step-daughter of Kate Bosworth. * * * Danny A. Abeckaser will play Sammy Silver himself, which is a no-brainer given his impressive string of screen credits. He appeared in Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-nominated film The Irishman (2019), alongside Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, and he is slated to appear in the upcoming mob epic Lansky opposite Sam Worthington and Harvey Keitel. He’s able to bring tremendous depth to gangsters on screen, and the fact that he has worked with some of the greatest actors of all time only compounds his screen presence. I Love Us is written by Kosta Kondilopoulos and produced by Kyle Stefanski, Mike Hermosa, Jeff Hoffman, and Abeckaser. The film will also be executive produced by Ron Rofe, Isaac Gindi, Eddie Gindi, Gustavo Nascimento, and Katie Cassidy. Harlow Jane Boards Danny A.

I Love Us, written by Kosta Kondilopoulos, sees Silver struggle to trade his criminal ways for married life after he falls in love with a single mother. The ensemble cast includes James Madio, Greg Finley, Courtney Lopez and David James Elliot. * * * The indie is produced by Abeckaser, Kyle Stefanski, Mike Hermosa and Jeff Hoffman.

The Flash Showrunner Eric Wallace Wants Episodes for Kid Flash, Mr. Terrific By RUSS BURLINGAME - March 1, 2021https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/eric-wallace-the-flash-season-7-interview/ Quote The first, not a Flash-related character, is Mr. Terrific. The character, who was a regular on Arrow, is notable because [Flash EP Eric] Wallace wrote a well-reviewed run on the Mr. Terrfiic comic book series during DC's The New 52 publishing initiative. "We're working on it," Wallace said of an appearance by Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), noting that he had actually reached out to Marc Guggenheim about he possibility shortly after Arrow ended. "I'd like to see him, not just as the character, but I'd like to see some T-sphere action taken to the next level. You get a little bit crazier and comic bookier. I don't know how soon we can do it; COVID has shrunk our season, so unfortunately a lot of those plans have kind of gone out the window. So I don't know if we'll get to it this year, but yes, that is on my to-do list." Edited March 4, 2021 by tv echo 1 Link to comment

Johnson (Nighthawks). Mike Langer and Tyler W. Konney wrote the screenplay, which is set in the murky world of CIA renditions. The plot follows Harris (Mulroney), a CIA officer involved in missions to detain and relocate foreign nationals for interrogation. When a political shift in Washington turns his allies into enemies, Harris finds himself the scapegoat for a detainee’s murder and must run from a team of operatives sent to bring him in (McNamara and Coiro), led by a ruthless double agent (Ilonzeh). Gibson has a small role as an intelligence official running the unsanctioned covert operation to hunt down the disgraced spy. * * *McNamara, best known for starring in the YA series Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments and Arrow, has a recurring role in CBS’ The Stand, a series adaptation of the Stephen King novel.

David Ramsey, who starred as John Diggle on eight seasons of Arrow, is set to helm Superman & Lois Episode 7 as part of his deal to direct across the Arrowverse this year. He’s also expected to guest star on multiple series at this time; we don’t know if this would also be his guest shot as well. It will be interesting to see how John Diggle factors in to the story considering how Superman & Lois has been very detached from the larger world of DC TV on The CW so far. A title for the seventh episode of Superman & Lois has not yet been revealed. And, no, we don’t know if he will be bringing a green ring with him… Edited March 6, 2021 by tv echo 1 Link to comment

Law will play NCIS REACT Special Agent Jessica Knight, a formidable REACT Team agent who specializes in hostage negotiations and handles daily high-risk operations with skill and precision. Sharp, athletic and tough, she was raised by a single mother and had to fight for everything in life and is damn good at it. Fiercely tenacious and with a wry sense of humor, Jessica is married to a stay-at-home dad who is raising their infant son. Law’s story arc will cross over the last two episodes of the current 18th season. She is recurring, with an option for series regular next season if the series is renewed. * * * Law was most recently seen as Quinn Lue in Hawaii Five-O.

First up, we have our first look at Mary McCormack's (The Kids Are Alright) Willie- the business partner of Jack Spade (Amell) and logistical brains behind the local wrestling organization who came up in the glory days as former-wrestler-turned scout Wild Bill's (Chris Bauer) valet but grew tired of babysitting and left him just as his career took off. His return to the local circuit complicates her life, as does the reflection of her younger self that she sees in Crystal (Kelli Berglund), a current, 20-year-old wrestler's valet. To say she's no-nonsense would be an understatement- and as you're about to see in the following preview image when Willie tells you to do something? You listen- and you do it.

Arrow alum Joseph David-Jones and newcomer Khailah Johnson have joined the project, which has a straight-to-series order and has shortened its title to 4400. (The CW also abbreviated the title to its Powerpuff Girls reboot to Powerpuff.) In the new version, 4400 overlooked, undervalued, or otherwise marginalized people — two of them played by David-Jones and Johnson — who vanished without a trace over the last hundred years are all returned in an instant, having not aged a day and with no memory of what happened to them. As the government races to analyze the potential threat and contain the story, the 4400 themselves must grapple with the fact that they’ve been returned with a few…upgrades, and the increasing likelihood that they were all brought back now for a specific reason. * * *David-Jones will play Rev Johnson who was raised in a powerful and affluent church family and disappeared in the 1990s. While he is a man of true faith and compassion, he is accustomed to the power and clout afforded by his position. He will emerge as a natural leader among the 4400. * * *4400 hails from Riverdale co-executive producer Ariana Jackson and Anna Fricke, who successfully rebooted Walker, Texas Ranger for the CW.

The cute pup was quickly adopted and then returned – five times. Things were looking pretty grim for the border collie/Australian shepherd mix. Hours away from being euthanized, officer Daniel O’Neil (Grant Gustin) was smitten with the 8 month-old puppy. He thought she had potential and decided to pursue his dream of being a canine officer.

Amidst a journey of self-discovery, Pierre finds the courage to inspire animals from all backgrounds to change their ways and open their minds to a new way of thinking. It will take a hybrid bird to unite a hybrid world. Edited April 7, 2021 by tv echo Link to comment
tv echo April 9, 2021 Share April 9, 2021 (edited) Quote BREATHE, a new musical from #1 New York Times bestselling novelist Jodi Picoult (in her theatrical debut) and playwright Timothy Allen McDonald, will have its world premiere exclusively on OVERTURE+ on Friday, May 14th at 8 PM ET, it was announced today. Written as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, Breathe chronicles the virus's impact on five very different relationships. Told in five interlocking suites - each with a different songwriting team and director - Breathe features an all-star cast that includes Tony Award-winners Kelli O'Hara and Brian Stokes Mitchell, Patti Murin, Colin Donnell, Denée Benton, Rubén J. Carbajal, Matt Doyle, Max Clayton, Daniel Yearwood, T. Oliver Reid and Josh Davis. Tickets are now available at BreatheMusical.com. The Original Cast Recording of Breathe will be released by Broadway Records on May 14 and available everywhere digital music is sold, and Music Theatre International will be licensing the show worldwide this summer. * * * Under the supervising direction of Tony Award nominee Jeff Calhoun, Breathe was filmed in March 2021 at the 92 Street Y's Kaufmann Concert Hall in New York City without an audience, in compliance with all New York State safety regulations. For most of the cast and crew, this marked their return to the stage and in-person performance since Broadway shut down on March 12, 2020. Ranging from lighthearted to heartbreaking, unbelievable and all-too-real, Breathe traverses the COVID realities of parenting in quarantine, generational divides on Black Lives Matter, grief rituals via Zoom, and the vulnerabilities of intimacy and independence.

tv echo April 17, 2021 Share April 17, 2021 (edited) Update on SA's new series, Heels.... Quote TVLine can now report that O’Malley — whose previous producing credits include Survivor’s Remorse (which he created) and who is familiar from roles on Snowpiercer, The Good Place and Glee — will play Heels‘ Charlie Gully, the owner and impresario of the Florida Wrestling Dystopia (FWD), a new wrestling promotion that is more interested in violent spectacle than telling a compelling story. Having made his fortunes up north in the world of fishing and outdoor sporting equipment, Gully is now dead set on ushering in a new territory war, and as such quickly clashes with Jack Spade and the DWL (Duffy Wrestling League). Check out a first look at Gully above, in a scene with Ludwig’s Ace Spade. * * *Having recently wrapped filming, Heels is on track for a summer premiere.

CM Punk On If He Watches His Old Wrestling Matches By Jason Ounpraseuth |April 17, 2021https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2021/04/cm-punk-talks-getting-casted-in-the-starz-series-heels/ Quote Former WWE Champion CM Punk was on a recent episode of My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox. .... * * * Punk is set to play a role in the upcoming Starz pro wrestling series Heels starring Stephen Amell. The series is created by Michael Waldron who is also a writer on Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Punk talked about how he got his role on Heels. “I couldn’t pass it up,” Punk admitted. “I was in LA in, it feels like forever ago, 2016 – 2017, and I auditioned for the lead in Heels. I hung out with Waldron all week. He’s a great dude. Got along great with him and he wrote a lot of this television based off of me and the Pipe Bomb. I auditioned for these Starz executives. “Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, this is amazing. You killed it. Everything’s great. The bad news it we’re pulling the plug on the whole show,’ and I was like, ‘Oh wow, I was that good that I just tanked this entire show. That’s good for my self-esteem.’ But they brought it back to life, and I remember Waldron reached out. ‘Hey, I want you to hear it from me. They’re bringing it back. It’s kind of not my baby.’ But he’s still attached, and he was like, ‘Stephen Amell’s got the lead.’ And I was like, ‘That’s great! That guy loves wrestling, so at least it’s in good hands.’ I was super excited to see the project get green-lit, and Stephen Amell, like I said, giant wrestling fan, so I was stoked. And then it comes back around that a role opened up, and Waldron suggested me. “They hired me site on scene. I was happy to be a part of the project. I was brought in for one shot, and I must have done something right because they immediately started rewriting episode and they brought me back. .... Edited April 19, 2021 by tv echo Link to comment

Jason Isaacs, Barkhad Abdi & Adan Canto Board Indie Spy Thriller ‘Agent Game’ By Amanda N'Duka April 23, 2021https://deadline.com/2021/04/jason-isaacs-barkhad-abdi-adan-canto-indie-spy-thriller-agent-game-1234742498/ Quote EXCLUSIVE: Jason Isaacs, Barkhad Abdi, and Adan Canto have signed on for Agent Game, an indie spy thriller which is being directed by Grant S. Johnson. The new additions are joining previously announced cast Dermot Mulroney, Katie Cassidy, Rhys Coiro, Annie Ilonzeh, and Mel Gibson. In the film, CIA officer Harris (Mulroney) is involved in missions to detain and relocate foreign nationals for interrogation. When Harris’ superior (Isaacs) is murdered, he finds himself the scapegoat for the killing of a detainee (Abdi) and must run from a team of operatives sent to bring him in (Canto, Cassidy, Coiro), led by a ruthless double agent (Ilonzeh). Gibson plays a rogue intelligence official running the off-book operation to hunt down and kill Harris. Edited April 24, 2021 by tv echo Link to comment
tv echo April 24, 2021 Share April 24, 2021 (edited) Superman & Lois: John Diggle To Appear “Halfway Through The Season” Craig Byrne April 21, 2021http://www.kryptonsite.com/superman-lois-john-diggle-to-appear-halfway-through-the-season/ Quote Before the new season began it was announced that Arrow’s “John Diggle,” David Ramsey, would be directing several shows across the Arrowverse in addition to making guest appearances on them. Now, thanks to an interview in issue #337 of SFX Magazine (now hitting newsstands), we may have an idea of when he will be showing up, thanks to Executive Producer/Showrunner Todd Helbing himself. “Diggle comes into our show halfway through the season,” Helbing told interviewer Bryan Cairns. “Where you last saw him, there are many different things that could have happened to him, but we will explain exactly what did.” It the Arrow series finale, it looked to us like there was a Green Lantern ring that John had found… was that how his story ended, or might Superman & Lois reveal that’s not the case? We’ll see when David Ramsey shows up on Superman & Lois sometime after the show’s return on May 18. (It can also be noted that David Ramsey directed the series’ seventh episode which, by all calculations, should air May 25.) Edited April 24, 2021 by tv echo Link to comment
tv echo April 28, 2021 Share April 28, 2021 (edited) The Cast of Justice Society: World War II Blends Heroism and History By Joshua Lapin-Bertone Tuesday, April 27th, 2021https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2021/04/27/the-cast-of-justice-society-world-war-ii-blends-heroism-and-history Quote The scene finds Black Canary questioning the true cost of heroism, and it was a powerful moment for her voice actress Elysia Rotaru. “Why do heroes do what they do?” she wonders. “Do they want accolades? Do they want fame? She realizes it’s for a greater cause—for humanity. It also shows how young she is. She’s lived the life, but she’s still a little babe and has a lot to learn.” Of course, the real joy for Rotaru was being able to do her own Canary cry. “That one was really friggin’ fun,” she says. “We powered through the script and we get to that cry. It was just really fun to vocally go there and see where my voice could go.” Edited April 28, 2021 by tv echo Link to comment
