Hey All

Here is the news for today, albeit a few short list

TELEVISION

Actress Wendy Crewson (24 and Saving Hope) will appear in a guest starring role on Revenge when the ABC soap returns for its second season. She will play Helen, a powerful business executive who has dealings with Conrad Grayson (Henry Czerny). Revenge will be back starting on Sunday (its new night) September 30 at 9 PM (its new air time). (Natalie Abrams at TV Guide)

BOX OFFICE NEWS

Actresses Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory), Teri Polo (Meet the Parents) and Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica) and actors Dylan Walsh (Unforgettable) and Chris Klein (American Pie franchise) [among others] are set to star in the independent comedy flick called Scribble that will be about a group of working people who want to be writers.

Actress Elizabeth Banks and actor Morgan Freeman will provide their voices to the Warner Bros. new animated 3D film called Lego, which is about an ordinary Lego mini-figure, mistakenly thought to be the extraordinary MasterBuilder, who is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil Lego tyrant from gluing the universe together. Specifics on their characters are being kept under wraps, but they will join Chris Pratt and Will Arnett as part of the cast. (Mike Fleming at Deadline)

DEVELOPMENT NEWS

Thinking that it will work again, Fame just might be coming back to the small screen if Nigel Lythgoe (the guy behind American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance) has anything to say about it. It worked as a 1980 box office film and a 1982 TV series that ran for six seasons, but failed as a 1997 TV remake and a box office reboot in 2009 so who knows. This version would be a re-imagining of the original film and series, striving to embody their spirit. It would be set against the backdrop of today’s unprecedented access to the world of celebrity, exposing the gritty struggle, heartache and pain endured in the search for stardom.

That’s it. Enjoy!
