新剧开发消息

Peter Macon和J Lee加盟Seth MacFarlane为Fox开发的13集科幻喜剧《Orville》（直接剧集预订）。Seth MacFarlane在这个项目中自编、自演、自己制片，故事设定在300年之后的未来，一艘名叫Orville的探索飞船跟随地球的星际舰队展开一系列 冒险……尽管这艘飞船的状态并不是最好的。太空中危机四伏，无论飞船内还是飞船外都充满挑战，但是一群成分复杂、「五花八门」的探索者还是展现了非凡的勇 气……以及冒失的、恶搞的、充满「前所未有的喜感」的行为。Seth MacFarlane称拍摄这部剧集是他孩提时代的梦想——尽管他在此之前还从未创作或演出过真人剧集（他的主要工作是开发动画剧并为之配音）。Seth MacFarlane扮演Orville飞船的船长Ed，Adrianne Palicki扮演他的前妻Kelly Grayson，最近刚刚被任命为Orville飞船的大副。一直追随Seth MacFarlane的配音演员Scott Grimes扮演Ed最好的朋友、Orville飞船的飞行员Gordon。Peter Macon和J Lee均扮演Orville飞船上的船员。

Diana Hopper加盟亚亚马逊网10集新剧《巨人》（Goliath，原名《Trial》）。该剧由David E. Kelley和制片搭档、前律师Jonathan Shapiro联合撰写，主人公Billy McBride（Billy Bob Thornton）曾是个声名显赫的大律师，如今却一蹶不振，整日借酒消愁，衣衫不整。Billy之所以弄到今天这步田地，全都是因为他输掉了一场重要的官司——他看着一个无辜的孩子被谋杀，却无力为他讨回公道。强烈的负罪感让他沾染了酒瘾，妻子离他而去，老友兼搭档Cooper也翻脸不认人，将他赶出了两人联手创办的律师事务所。前妻偶尔会扔给他一两宗无关痛痒的小案件，算是给他留一条活路。Billy仍然保留了当年的冷幽默，或许这能让他重拾一点信心，与昔日的搭档再决雌雄。现在有一宗针对Cooper的案件摆在他面前——一个年轻女人被他以前创立的事务所开除了，于是这个年轻女人带着一宗「非正常死亡案」找到他，希望他与那家事务所对簿公堂——他心中忘却已久的野心开始复苏。Olivia Thirlby扮演渴望成功、精力充沛的律师Lucy Kittridge。她知道自己想要得到什么——那就是金钱、性爱与尊重。但是在假小子的强硬外表之下，她实际上是个充满「二十一世纪理想主义」的人。换句话说，她渴望维护正义，但她坚信只有钱才能做到这一点。Maria Bello扮演Billy的前妻Julie McBride，一个事业有成的律师，与他人合伙创办了一家律师事务所。她失去了一生挚爱Billy，这让她感到痛苦。她从未公开承认失去Billy对自己的伤害有多深，她将一切责任都推到Billy身上——因为是他自己让自己的生活分崩离析。Julie的律师事务所突然开除了Julie的徒弟Lucy，Lucy竟然去找Julie的前夫打这场「非正常死亡案」官司，这让Julie感觉自己遭到了背叛。Tania Raymonde扮演聪明可爱、悟性过人的Brittany Gold，是Billy的老朋友。多年前他曾为她辩护，作为回报，她答应当他的法务秘书。但是……她很快走上了另一条道路。Billy打算第一次自己完成书面工作，这让Brittany感到又惊又怕。Brittany欢迎Lucy过来帮助她解决麻烦。Sarah Wynter扮演寡妇Gina，她决心重启丈夫不正常死亡案的调查。她始终坚信丈夫是被人谋杀的。Molly Parker扮演为人低调但是意志坚强的法官Keller，负责主持Billy与「Cooper & McBride」事务所的「非正常死亡案」的初步庭审。Keller当众羞辱了Billy，但是Billy很巧妙地将法律的矛头指向Keller，Keller立刻被套入Billy与「Cooper & McBride」事务所的法律战争。Britain Dalton扮演一名死者的儿子，年仅12岁。虽然警方排除了死者被谋杀的嫌疑，但他的儿子拒绝相信父亲会自杀。他说服主人公Billy McBride帮助他打一场「非正常死亡案」官司。Nina Arianda扮演语速超快、精明强干的律师Patty Solis-Papagian。Tania Raymonde扮演法务秘书Brittany Gold，是Billy的老朋友。但是谁也不知道，这位漂亮的职业女性晚上会摇身变成一个妓女。Dwight Yoakam扮演大型航空航天公司「Borns Tech」的负责人Wendell Corey，他们是「Cooper & McBride」事务所最重要的客户。Billy McBride在第一季中不仅要对付「Cooper & McBride」事务所，还要对付「Borns Tech」公司——对他来说，他们都是「巨人」。Harold Perrineau扮演Roston Keller法官。Diana Hopper扮演Billy McBride和前妻的女儿 Denise McBride。

NBC宣布开发Aaron Paul、John Sonntag和Thomas Sonntag三人联合提交的新剧《Blackmail》，Sonntag兄弟负责撰写剧本。故事描述一对新婚夫妇在遭受一场改变人生命运的事故之后发誓要报复造成这场事故的人。他们一开始只是想告诉他的未婚妻他在偷情，但事情很快超出了他们的想象，一场阴险而黑暗的猫鼠游戏将所有人拖向未知领域，但这对夫妇也学会了如何在患难之中做「强大的一对」。

自由体频道宣布开发高越概念喜剧《Santa Monica Shores》，Patrick Sean Smith、Adam McKay、Will Ferrell和Kevin Messick担任制片人。故事细节暂时保密。

来自《塞勒姆》（Salem）的Janet Montgomery将在《我们在一起》（This Is Us）中扮演多集角色Erin，是喜剧演员Kevin（Justin Hartley）的新爱情对象。Erin是个颇有天赋但尖酸刻薄的剧院演员，她对「诚实」的强烈坚持将可怜的Kevin「吸入了她的黑暗」。

昨天就有人把《权力的游戏》（Game Of Thrones）第七季的演员招募表放出来了（真实性未知），我没精力去完整翻译，原文如下：

General, in the age range 40 – 55. He’s a senior military officer, and they’re looking for a white actor who uses the British RP accent. The actor is needed for the week of September 6th.

Priest, in his 60’s. He’s a venerable priest with moral authority and gravitas. The show is seeking a white actor, using an RP accent, with characterful face for this part. He’s scheduled to shoot one week, from September 22nd.

Warrior, in the 35 – 45 age range. The character is a tough-looking bruiser with the attack skills of a pit bull, and the actor needs to be great at fighting. He has a “considerable” amount of dialogue as well. It’s described as an “excellent part for a top-end actor.” It’s not a Dothraki character as the actor for the role is required to be white, and they’re asking for a neutral and non-posh English accent. This role is currently scheduled to shoot across October.

Gate Guard, in his 20’s. The character is described as a “confident, characterful, straight-talking Northern lad with a great face to play across a very excellent series of scenes.” They’re looking someone with wit, timing, and charisma. He’s currently scheduled to film between mid-October and mid-November.

City Guard, in his 30’s. The show is casting for a city guard who intercepts a suspicious-looking person on his nightly patrol. They require an RP accent for this one. He’s set to shoot for a week in mid-October.

Merchant, in his 40’s. The merchant appears at an inn during a busy evening. They’re seeking a character actor, for a non-combatant role. His appearance is more open, including ethnicity/race. That suggests a character appearing somewhere in Essos- or a place we’ve never been before, since Daenerys is now on the move. This part is scheduled to shoot the first week of November.

Lovely Lady. The show is casting for an attractive young courtesan who is sure of her own mind. It’s described as a “good speaking part” and casting notes that full nudity is required for the role. Similar to the merchant, the lovely lady’s physical appearance is open, indicating this role is for somewhere on Essos, or at a new location. She’s scheduled to shoot for one week in early October.

Young Lord in his late 20’s. He’s a tall, handsome young lord, and the show is looking for a white actor who uses the RP accent. He’s scheduled to shoot in the week commencing September 20th.

Lieutenant, in his 20’s. The character is described as an athletic, physically fit, and disciplined warrior. Appearance-wise, they’re looking for someone not white, with Middle Eastern descent mentioned. This bears the hallmarks of a Dothraki character description. He’s set to shoot several days across three weeks, between mid-September and mid-November.
