Rueben's Ramblings

Hey All,

Here are the news items for today:

TELEVISION

Actor Sam Elliott and Garret Dillahunt (Raising Hope) will have recurring roles in the sixth and final season of Justified, which will be back on FX in January 2015. Elliott will play Markham, a legendary Kentucky gangster who returns from exile with a private army and bags of cash, hell-bent on winning back his empire and the lost love of his life, Katherine Hale (Mary Steenburgen). Meanwhile, Dillahunt will play Walker, a spec ops veteran who’s spent much of the last decade deployed in combat zones, first as a soldier and most recently as a private contractor. He now handles security for a quasi-legal businessman, a job to which he brings all of the skills (as well as the demons) he acquired during his military career. (The Futon Critic)

Actor Daren Kagasoff (The Secret Life of an American Teenager) will have a recurring role on FOX’s new drama Red Band Society, playing Hunter, the sarcastic, intellectual bad boy who is in the hospital with a life threatening illness. (The Deadline Team)

DEVELOPMENT NEWS

CBS has given a series commitment to Supergirl from executive producers Greg Berlanti (the man behind Arrow and The Flash) and Ali Adler (an executive producer on Chuck). The story, of course, is based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El who escaped Krypton amid its destruction. In this version, she has been keeping her powers a secret since arriving on Earth, but now at age 24 she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.

Q&A SECTION (with Natalie Abrams at Entertainment Weekly)

Question: Do you have any information on who Elizabeth Mitchell is playing on Once Upon a Time? — Toni

Natalie: She is definitely playing the villain of the first half of the season. “For the first time, we’re showing a villainous side to Elizabeth Mitchell,” says executive producer Adam Horowitz says. “There’s a dark side that Elizabeth is accessing and she’s doing so in chilling fashion.”

Question: Any Castle scoop? — Sandra

Natalie: The hunt for Castle will drudge up all the suspects we’ve been guessing over the summer, including Braken and 3XK, but you’ll be surprised by where the evidence leads in regards to who actually took the author—which will be hotly debated in the precinct. The apparent truth, however, is something so shocking, it may make you question your Caskett devotion.

Question: I can’t wait for Sleepy Hollow to return. Anything you can tease? — Pablo

Natalie: Fear not, it won’t be long before Abbie and Crane are reunited, but there’s a shocking twist in the premiere that will definitely leave you scratching your head. Here are my two best cryptic teases: A familiar face will assist Abbie in her plight, and Crane’s memories of the past could be the key to unlocking a way to save one of their own.

That’s it. Enjoy!

Have a great weekend!!
