Midseason drama Red Widow premieres this Sunday, and I recently sat down with the cast on set in Vancouver to talk about the new show. Stars Radha Mitchell, Goran Visnjic, and Luke Goss talked about their characters on the crime series, while series creator Melissa Rosenberg (better known as the screenwriter of the Twilight films) shared why she wanted to develop the show. Watch now and don't forget to tune in to the show Sunday on ABC.
British actor Luke Goss may have made his name playing tough guys, but when he visited our LA studios recently, he told us he gravitates toward roles that offer a little something more than just action. Luke will next appear in ABC's soon-to-premiere series Red Widow as a bodyguard for the show's title character. We talked to Luke about working with Twilight and Dexter writer Melissa Rosenberg on the series. He also gave us a preview of his next film, Interview With a Hitman, which hits DVD and Blu-ray March 5. Check out our chat and catch the special two-hour premiere of Red Widow on Sunday at 9/8 Central on ABC.
We caught up with Erin Moriarty at the Sundance Film Festival, where her new movie Toy's House premiered. She spoke about playing the love interest in the coming-of-age film, as well as her particularly crucial scene involving a snake. Moriarty can also be seen in Red Widow, which premieres on ABC on March 3.
Even if you don't know who Melissa Rosenberg is, you've probably seen her work; she's the screenwriter behind all the Twilight movies and was a head writer on Dexter for the first four seasons. Now she's running her own show, Red Widow, as creator and executive producer, and she came to the TCA with the stars of the midseason series, including Radha Mitchell and Goran Visnjic. Mitchell plays the lead character, a mother who is pulled into a crime web after the death of her husband, while Visnjic plays a drug lord pulling the strings. The two talked about their characters and what drew them to the show, while Rosenberg gave other tidbits about the series.
