For its final season, Lost is bringing back a number of key characters.
But it's also introducing a handful of new ones. Who will William Atherton portray on the series, for example? We have no idea. But the actor will be featured on a number of episodes.
The same can now be said for Sheila Kelley, as Michael Ausiello confirms she's nabbed a recurring role on Lost.
The actress - who has appeared on episodes of ER and The Sopranos, but is best known for her three-year arc as Gwen Taylor on L.A. Law - will take on the character of Kendall.
Previous casting notices described her as an "intellectual beauty with a sharp edge to her wit who is caught committing corporate espionage and has to lie her way out."
Any thoughts on how she might play into the larger Lost picture? When we hear "corporate espionage," it's hard »

Matthew Weiner (creator of AMC's "Mad Men") has made no secret of his desire to jump from television to feature films. Back when he was still working on "The Sopranos" for HBO, he wrote a script for a romantic comedy entitled You Are Here. Weiner quickly found independent financing and a more than decent start to a cast with Jennifer Aniston, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis all attached. But it looks like he'll have to wait a few years as Variety reports issues with the timetable for production on "Mad Men's" fourth season has forced a postponement of the project, with a hope of starting it back up sometime in 2011. Just to clear things up, You Are Here is separate from a blind feature commitment that Lionsgate made to Weiner as part of his two-season renewal of "Mad Men" in January. Weiner said he's "just starting to kick around »

When you’ve created one of the most critically acclaimed and most-watched TV shows on the air today, you have some freedom to write your own ticket. Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner will use that freedom to make his feature debut with the romantic comedy You Are Here starring Jennifer Aniston, Bradley Cooper, and Zach Galifianakis. According to Variety, Weiner first wrote the film during his days as a writer on The Sopranos and was planning to spend of his Mad Men hiatus to direct the film. However, scheduling issues regarding the next season of Mad Men have pushed You Are Here into 2011 but apparently Aniston, Cooper, and Galifianakis will juggle their schedules once the film has a firm start date.

Jennifer Aniston, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis have boarded the romantic comedy You Are Here, which will mark the directorial debut of Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner who wrote the script during his The Sopranos days.
According to Variety, scheduling issues with the timetable for production on Mad Men's fourth season has forced a postponement of the project, though the principals are understood to be committed to juggling their skeds to make it work in 2011. Mad Men exec producer Scott Hornbacher and Keith Addis are also on board the project as producers.
You Are Here is separate from the blind feature commitment that Lionsgate made to Weiner as part of his two-season renewal deal for Mad Men in January. Weiner said he's just starting to kick around ideas with Lionsgate execs for that project, which he will write and direct.
No production date has been set.

Curb Your Enthusiasm reruns are coming to basic cable. First they will be shown on the TV Guide Channel next year (doesn't everybody get that channel? I thought it was just a guide to what's on television. They have shows?) and then TV Land in 2013. Any event that brings Larry David's sense of humor to the masses can only be a good thing (Who had the idea for the humor in awkward situations first, Larry or Ricky Gervais?).
Mind you, the show's language is somewhat racy for basic cable. There will be some bleeping here and there. At least there's no prevalent nudity in any episode that I recall. There is some adult subject matter, but nothing basic cable hasn't seen before. Hey, if The Sopranos can make it to basic cable then Larry David should have no problem.
Given Susie Essman's vocabulary on the series, she may have every third word bleeped. »

Jamie-Lynn Sigler's character has cast a dark shadow on Ugly Betty, literally. With all the black makeup she has on and those wigs, she has definitely become quite a presence on the show. On an interview with TV Guide, the actress discussed her role as Natalie on the ABC series, from joining Mode as Daniel's (Eric Mabius) assistant to what's in store for the future.
First off, one can hardly tell that it's that star from The Sopranos under that recent makeover in Betty's world. However, she won't always be like that throughout her five-episode arc. "The look, as we go on, is going to change," Sigler told the publication.

White Collar hasn't lost its steam to keep us engaged and wanting more. This week in, "Book of Hours" our guys are hanging around some interesting mob types.
The "Book of Hours" is actually a very old and priceless Bible that the head mob guy had stolen from him. This guy does an alright job of playing a mob guy, but a mob boss? C'mon! We were expecting to see a James Gandolfini look-a-like from The Sopranos. I guess those days have come and gone and they aren't the same as they use to be. He did have that sweet endearing quality to him that makes us fall in love with The Godfather types.
Neal is still as hot as ever - especially how he is the only one on the whole FBI squad that wears a fedora - and boy does he wear that fedora well! Not only is »

The Sopranos star James Gandolfini has been caught on camera allegedly threatening a paparazzo.
The actor is said to have taken exception to a videographer taping him as he shopped with his son Michael in New York City on Halloween.
In footage posted on the Huffington Post website, Gandolfini can be seen lunging for the photographer, who tells the star to "Relax, man!"
The hardman then pushes away the camera before shouting, "I'm gonna break your f**king face!"
As WENN went to press it was unknown if the snapper had filed charges against Gandolfini. »

Did the USA Network decide not to buy the Simon Baker series The Mentalist for syndication because it would conflict with their own psychic detective show Psych?
You have to wonder, because The Mentalist has been snatched up by TNT in a lush syndication deal. How lush? About $2 million per episode, a broadcast series record. (The overall record is HBO's The Sopranos going to A&E for $2.5 per episode.)

'The Sopranos' may be over, but James Gandolfini is still acting like a mobster. On Halloween he assaulted a photographer who was trying to videotape him shopping in NYC's West Village for New York website Guest of a Guest. Near the end of the clip the photog's mom can be heard yelling, "Get away from my son!" Last year Gandolfini punched an autograph-seeking fan at JFK Airport.

In a press release, Overture Films announced the start of principal photography of Matt Reeves' Let Me In, the American adaptation of last year's acclaimed Swedish vampire film Let the Right One In. While we're not usually big on the announcements of the first day of production, this press release also revealed a new promotional poster (check it out after the jump) as well as adding Elias Koteas (Shutter Island), Cara Buono (of HBO's "The Sopranos") and Sasha Barrese (The Hangover) to a cast that already includes Richard Jenkins (The Visitor), Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) and Chloe Moretz (500 Days of Summer). If you're unfamiliar with the Swedish film on which Let Me In is based, it may help to know that both films are based on a novel by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist. The story follows an alienated 12-year-old boy (Smit-McPhee) who befriends a mysterious young newcomer (Moretz »

Let Me In, the American remake of the Swedish vampire flick Let the Right One In, starts production today, transporting the coming-of-age tale from the cold and blustery Stockholm, Sweden to the dry and hot Albuquerque, New Mexico. Director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) is returning to the source material for Let the Right One In, the Swedish novel of the same name by author John Ajvide Lindqvist, to help inspire the story about a young boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee from The Road) who befriends a mysterious new girl in town (Chloe Moretz from the upcoming Kick-Ass), who happens to be a vampire.
With Richard Jenkins already cast as Moretz's caretaker, the new cast additions announced are Elias Koteas as the policeman, Cara Buono (The Sopranos) as Smit McPhee's mother, and Sasha Barrese (The Hangover) as Virginia, the character who survives a vampire attack in the Swedish original.

Three new cast members have joined the cast of Let Me In, the remake/adaptation of the Swedish film Let The Right One In.
Elias Koteas will play a policeman, Cara Buono is set to play as Owen's mother and Sasha Barrese is Virginia. The three new members join Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloe Moretz.
An official press release points out, "The filmmakers note that while the new film will pay respect to the original Swedish version, they intend to forge a unique identity for Let Me In, placing it firmly in an American context."
Although there are many people who are pessimistically opposed to the remake/adaptation, President and CEO of Hammer films had this to say, "This project is very personal to Matt as it is to the many passionate fans of the original story... The brilliance of that story deserves to be seen by audiences on a wide »

Filming on Matt Reeves' Us remake of Let the Right One In - retitled Let Me In - is now underway and more cast details have just emerged. Joining Kodi Smit-McPhee as Owen (Oskar), Chloe Moretz as Abby (Eli) and Richard Jenkins as Abby's familiar (Hakan in the original), are Elias Koteas, Carla Buono and Sasha Barrese.Buono (who's had recurring TV roles on The Sopranos and The Dead Zone) plays Owen's mother. Barrese (Justin Bartha's wife in The Hangover) plays the latterly cat-averse Virginia, seemingly one of the few characters to keep their name from the original film. And the always reliably world-weary Koteas is "the policeman", which we're guessing is the Lacke role, Virginia's husband.Advance reaction to Let Me In has generally fallen into the "why is it necessary / leave the original alone" camp, given the quality and international success of its Swedish counterpart. It's not an unreasonable response either, »

Principal Photography began today on Matt Reeves’ “Let Me In”, the remake of Tomas Alfredson’s acclaimed film, “Let the Right One In” which was an adaptation of the John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel of the same name. It’s difficult to find a fan of Alfredson’s film who is excited for this remake since the Swedish landscape is such an integral part of the film’s tone and overarching themes. Couple that with the tendency of American films to avoid ambiguity and relationships which may make audiences uncomfortable and you can see why the reception of its production is (appropriately) chilly.
But actors Elias Koteas (”Zodiac”), Cara Buono (”The Sopranos”), and Sasha Barrese (”The Hangover”) are giving the film a chance and joining stars Kodi-Smit McPhee (”The Road”), Chloe Moretz (”Kick-Ass”) and Richard Jenkins (”The Visitor”). Hit the jump for more details.
Here’s the logline of “Let Me In »
