FX Spoilers, Speculation & Gossip


Rose Byrne & the OC’s Tate Donovan signs onto Glenn Close FX pilot

Sunday, December 31st, 2006 on SpoilerBuzz.com

Tate Donovan has signed on to join Glenn Close in her recently announced F/X pilot. The pilot, which is still untitled, has a few names familiar to the theatre as well… Rose Byrne (Marie Antoinette) and Zeljko Ivanek (Oz; 24).

Bryne will play the central character Ellen Parsons, “a beautiful, self-possessed attorney fresh out of law school who lands her dream job working for Patty Hughes (Close), America’s foremost high-stakes litigator,” the trade mag describes.

Set in New York, the drama will also feature Donovan as “Hughes’ senior legal associate and most trusted adviser,” and Ivanek as “a Southern legal war horse, Hughes’ opposing attorney in a major case that would play out during the show’s first season.”

It is nice to finally see some new details emerge about this new pilot. And I have always enjoyed Tate Donovan back from his Friends days, so this should be one to watch. No word yet as to when this might be premiered, but production on the series is set to begin in February.

Glenn Close signs on for FX drama pilot

Thursday, November 30th, 2006 on SpoilerBuzz.com

Glenn Close has signed on with FX to star in a new pilot, which will start production in February. Close will play Patty Hughes, America’s foremost high-stakes litigator. The character was written specifically for Close, which explains why she is about to enter her first foray into television.

Allen Coulter is set to direct the pilot, which is slated to begin production in February, and is as of yet untitled.

Close already has a close relationship with FX, if you are wondering why she chose FX instead of one of the big three networks. She scored an Emmy nomination for her series debut as a regular on FX’s gritty cop drama “The Shield,” during her season-long run on the series.
