Hey All

I know I don't post much here a lot lately, but I cam across this article over at EW.com about a regime change that could not only save DOLLHOUSE, but actually make FOX a good channel.

Here's the article.

For those who don't want to read the whole thing (although if you have any concern about the future of indie cinema this is a must read), here's the paragraph of concern.

"In a different world, before it became conventional wisdom that television, in the age of The Simpsons, The Sopranos, Lost, and Mad Men, might be rivaling (or even surpassing) movies as a creative medium, this sort of transition might have looked like a sellout. Here's what it looks like now: Rice, who is close to Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch, will have the opportunity to expand the adventurousness of the Fox network, and perhaps do things in television that have never been tried before. Surely, an executive of his moxie must be thinking of something beyond Juno: The Sitcom. And if he makes good? This is sheer speculation, but I predict that the job ultimately waiting for Rice could be that of the head of 20th Century Fox (the movie division), where he'd have the opportunity to showcase his vision of quality equals popularity (what a concept!) on a far grander scale."

Trust me, this is a guy we can use on our side. If this guy (Peter Rice) can turn SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE from a potential direct to video film into a Best Picture winner and international success, then this is a guy that could get DOLLHOUSE a second season and beyond.

It does sound hopeful.

I saw Slumdog Millionaire last night and there's no way conventional Hollywood would have made the movie; flashbacks and flash forwards, a cast with NO STARS, and a soundtrack from a Bollywood composer that featured traditional Indian music, techno, hip hop and a smattering of rap and was very violent. Yet, I absolutely loved the movie.
