The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!
Hurray!
Tim Minear is allowing me to share the script to Moon Is A Harsh Mistress he wrote in 2005. "It was just gathering dust, anyway."
That's just... neat.
Unca Tim has a new series, 9-1-1, premiering on FOX, January 3, 2018 at 9pm ET/PT, after The X-Files season 11 debut.
From FoxFlash (the FOX press site):
Following THE X-FILES, provocative new drama 9-1-1 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) premieres. From creators Ryan Murphy ("American Horror Story" franchise), Brad Falchuk ("American Horror Story" franchise) and Tim Minear ("American Horror Story" franchise), 9-1-1 explores the high-pressure experiences of police, paramedics and firefighters who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping situations. These emergency responders must try to balance saving those who are at their most vulnerable with solving the problems in their own lives. The series stars Academy and Emmy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Angela Bassett ("American Horror Story," "What's Love Got to Do with It"), Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominee Peter Krause ("The Catch," "Six Feet Under") and Emmy Award nominee Connie Britton ("Nashville," "Friday Night Lights," "American Horror Story"). Oliver Stark ("Into The Badlands"), Aisha Hinds ("Shots Fired," "Underground"), Kenneth Choi ("The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story") and Rockmond Dunbar ("Prison Break," "The Path") also star. Brad Buecker directs the premiere episode and serves as an executive producer, along with Alexis Martin Woodall and series star Angela Bassett.
Despite the above, the FoxFlash synopsis only lists Murphy and Falchuk as creators, but says Tim is an EP and showrunner. I have no idea which is correct, so there you go.
The cast looks pretty good: Angela Bassett, Connie Britton, and Rockmond Dunbar. ijs.
I've seen adds for 9-1-1, and I'll probably be giving it a shot.
Oh, man, I was resisting that show despite the fine cast because it looks kinda heavy. Minear kinda adds weight to both sides of that.
My general philosophy is that if Angela Bassett is in it, I want to watch.
That is pretty persuasive.
Agreed.
I have a if Connie Britton is in it, I'll check it out (and covet her hair while I do) philosophy.
