Rueben's Ramblings

Hey All,

Here are the news items for today:

TELEVISION

British actor and musician Max Beesley (Hotel Babylon) has landed a major recurring role on Suits, which will be back for its third season on the USA Network on July 16. Beesley will play Stephen Huntley, Edward Darby’s (recurring guest star Conleth Hill) charismatic right-hand man and Harvey’s (Gabriel Macht) British counterpart, who arrives in the New York office following the merger. The existence of two Harveys will complicate the already precarious personal dynamics at Pearson/Darby. (Nellie Andreeva at Deadline)

Actress Erika Alexander (Living Single) will have a recurring role in this summer’s new AMC drama Low Winter Sun that focuses on the aftermath of a cop murder by fellow Detroit detective Frank Agnew (Mark Strong). Alexander will play Louise “LC” Cullen, a strong and intimidating cop who is matter-of-fact and straightforward in everything she does. (Nellie Andreeva at Deadline)

BOX OFFICE NEWS

Actor Armie Hammer (who will be seen this summer in The Lone Ranger) will star alongside Tom Cruise in the remake of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. The original version of the classic 1960’s TV series starred Robert Vaughan and David McCallum, who played Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, two agents of the United Network Command for Law Enforcement. Hammer would play the Kuryakin role in the remake. (Mike Fleming, Jr. at Deadline)

Q&A SECTION (with Sandra Gonzalez at Entertainment Weekly)

Question: Anything for Grimm-sters? — Jordan

Sandra: Chew on this like a hungry Wesen: “It’s insane,” David Giuntoli says of the cliffhanger. “Let’s just say, one of the main characters might be dead.”

Question: I’m SO happy Supernatural is back this week. Can you give me any new info on the finale? — Anna

Sandra: Well, the description for the finale released today let it slip that the boys will indeed go into “one last play” against Crowley, who is “poised to undo allthe good they’ve ever done as hunters.” So how will it all play out? “I think you owe your fans and your audience a sense of resolution and while we know we’re coming back, we’re leaving certain things open,” reveals Jeremy Carver. “That’s sort of a generic way of saying s–t gets resolved and s–t gets cliffhanged.”

Question: NCIS was wild. Please more on Tony and Ziva. — Lisa

Sandra: Here’s what de Pablo told me about Tony and Ziva in the following episode. “Let’s say this is one of the sweetest moments we’ll see because then things get messy again — as things do between these two characters,” she says. “They get really nice and mushy and then they get really messed up.”

Question: Anything on Revolution? — Jim

Sandra: Executive producer Eric Kripke is the king of the tease, so I present his comment on the upcoming season finale, uninterrupted: “There’s a pretty huge — I don’t want to give anything away — but there’s a series of fairly massive, seismic events that happen that will change everything for season 2. So I think it’ll obviously have its same DNA and same characters but there will be new quests, new adventures, new problems and really an entirely new landscape that they have to deal with.”

That’s it. Enjoy!
