07:55 - Flack - Bradley Whitford Joins Pop TV Dramedy Series
Bradley Whitford has been tapped for a key role opposite Anna Paquin in Flack, Pop TV’s new series about the world of high-stakes, celebrity-driven public relations.
Directed by the Oscar-nominated Peter Cattaneo, Flack is a one-hour dramedy starring Paquin as Robyn, an American PR executive living in London who’s an expert at her craft but a complete self-saboteur when it comes to her personal life.
Whitford will play Calvin Cooper, an American movie star living in England working in theatre. The show is a co-production between Pop TV and British multichannel broadcaster UKTV.
“We’re so excited to welcome such an enormous talent like Bradley into the Flack family, and without giving too much away, can’t wait to see how his fervent character causes a lot of complications for Anna to deal with in a highly restricted, regulated locale,” said Justin Rosenblatt, EVP Original Programming, Pop.
The cast of Flack includes Paquin, Sophie Okonedo, Genevieve Angelson, Lydia Wilson, Rebecca Benson, Arinzé Kene, Marc Warren and Rufus Jones.

EXCLUSIVE: Universal has stepped up to the plate to acquire Tommyknockers, a feature film package centered on Stephen King’s 1987 sci-fi horror novel. This is the project that has James Wan producing under his Atomic Monster banner with an eye to direct. Also producing is Roy Lee, Larry Sanitsky, the latter who executive produced the hit 1993 ABC miniseries based on King’s book, Michael Clear and Jon Berg.
The deal was struck in a bidding battle between Uni, Netflix and Sony, we hear, with Universal pulling ahead in the end. The package had been making the rounds and follows the current King IP resurgence that includes New Line/Warner Bros’ runaway hit It, which has spawned a sequel now in the works.
Tommyknockers centered on the residents of Maine town who come under the influence of a strange object discovered in the woods. It turns out to be part of an alien spacecraft, which emits a gas that infects those who are exposed to it, eventually leading to chaos that only one man may be able to stop. Jimmy Smits and Marge Helgenberger starred in the ABC mini.

Thanks to Jenn for the heads up.
Allison Mack, who played Chloe Sullivan on the Superman TV series Smallville, was arrested Friday in New York on charges of sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and forced labor conspiracy. She was indicted along with Keith Raniere, a leader of a self-help program and purported pyramid scheme being investigated for operating a shadow society of female “slaves.”
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York announced the indictment today; Mack is scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Cheryl L. Pollak. Raniere was previously arrested on a complaint and ordered detained, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. He will be arraigned at a later date.
“As alleged in the indictment, Allison Mack recruited women to join what was purported to be a female mentorship group that was, in fact, created and led by Keith Raniere,” United States Attorney Richard P. Donoghue said today. “The victims were then exploited, both sexually and for their labor, to the defendants’ benefit. This Office and our law enforcement partners are committed to prosecuting predators who victimize others through sex trafficking and forced labor.”

09:10 - 8 Fights – The Life of Muhammad Ali - Limited Event Series from Morgan Freeman in Development at CBS All Access
In a competitive situation, CBS All Access, CBS’ SVOD and live streaming service, has landed for development 8 Fights – The Life of Muhammad Ali, a limited event series about the boxing great. The project hails from Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary’s Revelations Entertainment and CBS TV Studios where it had been in development as part of the studio’s major ramp-up of premium cable/streaming content.
Written by Dan Kay based on Jonathan Eig’s recently published biography Ali: a Life, the series will chronicle eight distinct moments in the life of Ali, with each episode framed by one fight from his boxing career. The focus will be on the internal fight — the drama outside the ring – which will explore the struggle going on in the heart and mind of one of the most consequential and controversial figures of the 20th century.
The pitch for the project drew interest from multiple outlets, with sibling CBS All Access stepping up to land it. So far, the vast majority of CBS All Access’ pickups have been straight-to-series, largely based on a finished script. Because 8 Fights was a pitch, it has a script-to-series commitment, with a straight-to-series order contingent on the script.

Heading to Southern Georgia, “Mindhunter” season two will focus on the infamous Atlanta child murders of the late 1970s and early 80s, which featured the relatively uncommon case of an African-American serial killer —in real life, Wayne Williams, who was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment for killing two adult men, but never convicted of the deaths of twenty three murders of young children (though it’s unclear how close to the real events the show will hew). Stars Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany, and Anna Torv will all return.
Meanwhile, Fincher has found his directors for the follow-up season and sources tell us there are only three filmmakers scheduled this time; Fincher himself directing the premiere and finale episodes like he did in season one, Andrew Dominik (“The Assassination of Jesse James,” “Killing Me Softly”) will helm another two, and filmmaker Carl Franklin (“Devil In A Blue Dress,” “One False Move”), who’s become something of a journeyman director on TV in recent years (“House Of Cards,” ” The Leftovers,” “13 Reasons Why,” “Vinyl” and more), will direct the rest and bulk of the show.
Last I heard, there were only eight episodes this season; the inaugural one, which featured four filmmakers — Asif Kapadia, Tobias Lindholm, Andrew Douglas and Fincher — had ten.
