19:50 - Read Bottom Up - Comedy from the Creators of Gossip Girl Receives Put Pilot at ABC
Thanks to Crazy About TV for the heads up.
ABC is developing Read Bottom Up, a comedy project from ABC Studios-based producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage of Fake Empire and Ben Karlin. I hear the network took the project — based on the novel by Neel Shah and Sloane Crosley about love in the digital age — off the table with a put pilot commitment.
Read Bottom Up — referring to the way one follows an email or text chain — follows young New Yorkers Madeline and Elliot, who meet then embark on a relationship, much of it playing out online and under the scrutiny and well-intentioned interference of their respective best friends and confidants Emily and David. Shah and essayist Sloane Crosley, who used her longtime pen name Skye Chatham for the book, will write the TV adaptation and will executive produce with Schwartz & Savage and Karlin. Fake Empire executive Lis Rowinski will co-executive produce and oversee the project for the company.

12:00 - Blindspot - Postmortem Articles.
Thanks to Ivan for the heads up.

TVGuide.com: How were you pitched the character of Guerrero?
Phillips: It was just a straight offer. I got the call, are you interested in Blindspot? I was actually very interested in the show prior to being asked to go on it ... so, that was an easy answer. Especially considering that it was going to be this rather erudite and arrogant bad guy. Those are always fun to play, and especially since I've got such inspirational and humane characters in Longmire and The 33, this was a nice little change of pace for me.
What were you told about the character?
Phillips: Before I got the script it was like, "Oh, they want you go to New York to shoot Blindspot. You're playing No. 2 on the FBI's Most Wanted List." So, immediately my mind goes to, great! I'm going to be wearing wonderful suits and working in penthouses and being driven around in limousines. No, I'm back in the freakin' woods wearing hiking boots and a canvas jacket. I literally walked into the first wardrobe fitting and they had all these plaid shirts, and I said, "You know, I wear a lot of plaid on Longmire. Can't we do something else?"
Did you model the character off any other villains?
Phillips: I didn't model him after anybody, but I was certainly put in the mind of my old friend James Spader. The basic thrust of the show is similar to The Blacklist, and one of the things that I love about James every single week is the character's incredibly articulate and incredibly verbose. They give him these beautiful words to say, and he says them with such ease. He's very cavalier in his delivery. And James does that better than anybody. So, when I first read this script, I went, oh, okay, this is a little Reddington. It's fun to play a character who's unflappable, because I don't think I would be nearly as self-possessed in moments like that.
Did the producers tell you anything else about the Operation Daylight mystery?
Phillips: They told me absolutely nothing. They totally kept me in the dark, and I'm still in the dark. ... Obviously because I was aware that there were other things going on and that there is a rather insidious storyline that involves Guerrero, I was able to at least play a certain amount of mystery. But as far as knowing where anything is going, I do not.
Is Guerrero really dead?
Phillips: Who knows? I'm still not convinced. It's one of those shows that not everything meets the eye, and it is about overarching conspiracies and secrets and different connections. ... I also have to say that [Blindspotcreator] Martin Gero is the guy that killed me three times on Stargate. But that was science fiction. That's a little easier to do than in something like this, but once again, it's not something that is out of the realm of possibility in my mind.
