TV Casting: Gabrielle Union and Alfre Woodard Book Roles
Here's the latest on two cool women coming soon to a small screen near you:
- Gabrielle Union is joining the cast of Flash Forward, playing a criminal defense attorney named Zoey. Zoey will be a recurring character, and she'll also have a romantic arc on the show, though there's no word on which other cast member that will involve. (But wouldn't she be cute with Joseph Fiennes?
Could Roseanne Return to TV? Plus, More Casting News
The matriarch of '90s television comedy wants to make another run at TV: Roseanne Barr is developing a sitcom concept about a family in which, yes, she'd play the mom.
Barr's idea isn't tied to any network right now, though it has been pitched to Fox. She's developing the project with a former Roseanne producer, and the two of them have teamed with an Arrested Development writer to put the script together.

Cadillac Records: Spot-On Performances Bring Legends to Life
There's plenty wrong with director Darnell Martin's biopic about Chicago's famous record label Chess Records, including the confusing title: Cadillac Records. What with the production quality that makes the film look like a sound stage, amateurish editing, and a script that bites off too many legends than it can chew, this movie's got issues.
But you know what?
Meet Dave: I Thought It Would Be Worse
So, full disclosure: I dragged myself to this movie with the lowest of expectations. Things like Norbit and The Adventures of Pluto Nash danced through my mind and I prayed to the comedy gods to spare me a numbingly unfunny experience. I mean, I've just barely recovered from The Love Guru.
Ugly Betty Rundown: Episode 14, "Twenty-Four Candles"
It may come last in my list of rundowns today, but Ugly Betty came first in my marathon of TV viewing list on Thursday. What better way to kick off the evening than with that eternally upbeat go-getter Betty Suárez? Hopefully you were able to refresh your Betty memory before last night.
Movie Preview: The Perfect Holiday
I have to say, I love Gabrielle Union, even if she doesn't always get the coolest film projects. So, while her upcoming holiday flick The Perfect Holiday looks slightly cheesy, I still hold out hope for it. If nothing else, the story about Christmastime romance does seem heartwarming and sweet.
Writers' Strike Enters Week Two
The Hollywood writers' strike entered its second week today, and so far, no new talks have been scheduled between the writers and producers. The industry buzz suggests we should get used to it: The strike could be even longer than the five-month strike in 1988. The walkout is hitting non-writing crew members, and the outcomes are starting to look bleak all around (except over at Fox, where executives believe the strike could be good for the network).
"Footballers' Wives" Remake Still in Play
I was pretty surprised back in May when ABC announced its fall schedule without "Football Wives," a remake of the British series "Footballers' Wives" (pictured above). Now, it appears the network is reconsidering its decision to pass on the show: ABC has extended the options on its stars, including Gabrielle Union, Lucy Lawless, Ving Rhames and James Van Der Beek, which is typically a sign that a project is still in the running.
Maybe, the Hollywood Reporter suggests, ABC's sudden interest in the show can be explained by the fact that other networks — Fox and NBC among them — seem to be ready to snag it for themselves if ABC passes for good.
Movie Preview: Daddy's Little Girls
It's bad enough that Daddy's Little Girls is opening on a Wednesday, and it being Valentine's Day doesn't help matters; if it's a good movie it shouldn't need a gimmicky release date. But now, there aren't even any press screenings for it here in San Francisco. According to Forbes, that's not a good sign.
