After the success of Taken and Gran Torino, Hollywood has been on a vigilante kick. And right now, Bryan Singer (along with studio execs all over town) has been seriously considering getting his revenge on with The Prisoners, a much-sought-after thriller script to which Mark Wahlberg is attached to star as a Boston dad who takes the law into his own hands when his young daughter is kidnapped. The screenplay, which has been compared to The Silence of the Lambs and Seven, has been buzzed about as a calling card for its unknown writer, Aaron Guzikowski, and as a rare project targeted at adult audiences but with real commercial potential. When asked whether The Prisoners will be his next movie, Singer told EW: 'I don't know yet. But I'm definitely intrigued. It's a great script. And I'd love to work with Mark.' source: EW

Fox unveils 2010-11 schedule

May 17, 2010 | Posted by Staff in Read, TV News| 0 comments
Fox unveiled its fall and midseason schedule Monday morning that included pairing top drama “House” with new Texas oil soap “Lonestar” this fall and stocking Friday night with recently renewed bubble show “Human Target.” In midseason, musical hit “Glee” will receive the coveted post-Super Bowl slot.

The network will launch a comedy block on Tuesdays as expected, fueled by “Glee.” Wednesdays will pair “Lie to Me” with the network’s second highest-rated reality show “Hell’s Kitchen.” Fox will also continue its strategy of stocking Thursdays with scripted dramas “Bones” and “Fringe.” On Fridays, Fox plans to air “Human Target” leading into its upcoming summer drama “The Good Guys.”

Steven Spielberg’s dino-drama “Terra Nova” isn’t on the schedule, but Fox confirmed the show will join the network for midseason along with comedies “Bob’s Burgers” and “Mixed Signals.” The network promised a high-end production with “Terra Nova,” which is described as an “action-adventure series follows an ordinary family on an extraordinary journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a part of a massive expedition to save the human race.”

Also in midseason, Fox plans to shrink “American Idol,” shortening the Tuesday performance show to 90 minutes and Wednesday’s results show to 30 minutes.

“We looked at some of the feedback and viewers want us to tighten up the show,” said Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly. “And we need spots for our new half-hour comedies, which are a big part of our development this year.
