DVD, Mario Van Peebles directed a couple episodes of "Damages" last year, and he also popped up on screen at the end of its season. The part, at least, will continue in the coming season. Van Peebles will continue his role as an FBI agent in the coming season of the FX series, which began filming a couple weeks ago. Two other shows "Heroes" and "Ugly have also added reBetty" curring characters, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Van Peebles is scheduled to appear in six episodes of "Damages," which will begin its second season on FX early next year. His continued presence suggests that the feds' case against Patty Hewes ( Glenn Close) will be a significant part of the show's second season. On "Heroes," Ntare Mwine has been cast as an artist who is "close to many of the original heroes," whatever that may mean. He's signed for nine episodes, and his powers will be slowly revealed over the course of his time on the show. ABCs "Ugly Betty," meanwhile, has added Val Emmich as yet another potential love interest for the title character (America Ferrera). That makes three, if you're keeping score: As last season ended, Betty was making a choice between Henry (Christopher Gorham) and Gio (Freddy Rodriguez). Din-klag- e, $25.99.

(Criterion) 'Deadwood' is well and truly dead This shouldn't come as too big a surprise, given that it's been nearly two years since "Deadwood" finished on HBO and its creator and a number of its actors have gone on to other things. But the two movies that supposedly would wrap up the series aren't going to happen. That was the word this afternoon from Richard Plepler, of HBO, and Michael Lombardo, president of the cable channel's programming group. "I think it's safe to report that the likelihood of a 'Deadwood' movie happening is slim to none." Since then, status updates on the show have been a regular part of the HBO press tour sessions. Milch himself said in early 2007 that he was optimistic that the movies would get made and that he was working with "Generation Kill" author Evan Wright on the first of two scripts. Zap2It.com |
