1999, Y2K was pending, some folks were freaking out about it while most teens couldn’t be bothered. Things that stressed our parents didn’t worry us one bit and things we stressed about they found silly. Escape was found, as before and as still is, in horror movies. That year saw a few big releases, some great fun ones like eXistenZ, Deep Blue Sea, and Lake Placid, some that were meant to be great like Virus, The Haunting and The Astronaut’s Wife, and a whole lot of middle of the road titles like The Bone Collector, Resurrection, and From Dusk Till Dawn 2. The world was covered in the ooey, gooey goodness of horror and its special effects.

While Anton himself is an amiable guy, his hand proves to be an appendage of death, killing his two best buddies, Pnub and Mick, who return to life as wisecracking zombies. In addition to murdering those closest to him, Anton’s evil hand significantly hinders his chances with lovely neighbor Molly.

Last year’s Producers Guild Awards told us which movie — “The Shape of Water” — would win the Oscar for Best Picture weeks before the Academy Awards. In fact 20 of the previous winners of this important prize have then gone on to Best Picture victories.
For the 30th annual PGA ceremony slated for Saturday evening, January 19, at the Beverly Hilton, we already know that the top choice will be at the very least a major front-runner for this year’s Oscar. Could it be a blockbuster like “A Star Is Born,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” or “Black Panther”? Or maybe a critical favorite such as “Roma,” “Green Book” or “The Favourite”?

The Producers Guild of America hands out its awards on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019. That is three days before the academy announces the nominations for the Oscars. While the PGA ceremony is not televised, it is an important stop on the road to the Oscars.
The PGA Awards has an enviable track record at presaging the eventual Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards. The guild and the academy have agreed on 20 of the most recent 29 Best Picture champs, including last year’s double winner. “The Shape of Water.”
Since both groups expanded the Best Picture category, the PGA has predicted 70 of the 81 of the Best Picture nominees over the past nine years. Last year the guild went seven for nine in previewing the Oscars line-up: “Call Me by Your Name,” “Dunkirk,” “Get Out,” “Lady Bird,” “The Post,” “The Shape of Water” and “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.” The other four guild nominees were “The Big Sick,...

Now we know what the most popular movies are vying for Oscars this year: The Producers Guild of America’s motion picture and television nominations went mainstream. Winners will be revealed at the 30th Annual Producers Guild Awards, to be held January 19 at the Beverly Hilton.
Many of these films will wind up on the the final list of Oscar nominations to be revealed on January 22; the eventual winners are here as well. That does not mean that “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “A Quiet Place,” or “Crazy Rich Asians” will land Best Picture nominations, but it is a sign of strength and popularity. Oscar voters tend to take degree of difficulty in production into consideration, and may lean into big box office hits this year.
(Left off the PGA list are long-shot Best Picture contenders “If Beale Street Could Talk,” “Mary Poppins Returns,” and “First Man.”)

As we’ve been reporting, Syfy had its Upfront presentation to potential advertisers Wednesday night, and they spent yesterday issuing press releases. It’s a good thing they held the event at a pier, as there is a boatload of information included in the summary press release below. We made sure to get it posted before the weekend, since it will take you the entire weekend to absorb it all.
Some of it is information we’ve already posted, like the Ringworld and Childhood’s End development and the High Moon pilot production, some of it we posted about fairly recently, like Ronald D. Moore‘s Helix, some of it we haven’t heard about in quite some time, like Orion, Proof, and Dominion, and some, like the nonscripted shows, the anthology, and some of the projects announced, are news to us.

The quirky cop drama had been optioned to the premiere cable network in 2011 in association with one of the companies behind AMC’s hit zombie drama The Walking Dead. Chew, the Eisner Award-winning American comic book series written by John Layman with art by Rob Guillory, tells of a future where poultry is illegal and Tony Chu, an Agent of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, uses the psychic impressions he gets by eating things (including people) to track down criminals. In March 2011, a Chew script written by Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer was purchased by Showtime to occupy a 30-minute slot. It was later changed upped to one hour. Production company Circle of Confusion, one of the companies involved with bringing the acclaimed graphic novel series The Walking Dead to AMC, were...

Alphas Review, Season 2, Episode 11, “If Memory Serves”
Written by Terri Hughes Burton & Ron Milbauer
Directed by Allen Kroeker
Airs Mondays at 8pm (Et) on SyFy
Ever since its premiere, Alphas has hinted at a darker side of Rosen that isn’t just concerned with helping Alphas. A serious anger lurks beneath his calm demeanor that’s been moving closer to the surface with each move by Stanton Parish. To fight such a dangerous foe, Rosen has set aside his ethical qualms and crossed into very murky territory. Parish’s murder of his daughter Dani was just the last straw that has brought out the worst in Rosen. Something snapped inside that makes him a scary individual. He promises trouble without raising his voice and is ready to strike against anyone who challenges him. A lesser show would soften the edges and make sure it’s clear that Rosen is bluffing.

It’s clear that a show is working if even the lesser episodes are compelling. After last week’s stunning look at Nina’s tormented past, there was almost certainly going to be drop-off for Alphas this time. Thankfully, it’s just a small misstep and retains the emotional strength that drove that story. Nina is back on the team, but she’s an outsider who’s only working with Rosen. It’s amazing that he’s willing to put her right back in the field this quickly. Her fellow team members want nothing to do with Nina, and this resistance makes for more compelling drama. Unlike less sophisticated genre fare, there’s no reset button where all sins are forgiven. Rachel can’t even stand...

Eureka, Season 5, Episode 8, “In Too Deep”
Written by Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer
Directed by Colin Ferguson
Airs Mondays at 9pm Et on SyFy
“In Too Deep” breaks the trend of weaker episodes over the last couple of weeks by providing a well-written episode full of comedy, drama, excitement and major events for multiple characters. Interestingly, the last quality episode (“Jack of All Trades”) was directed by series star Colin Ferguson (Sheriff Carter) who also directs “In Too Deep.”
Carter surprises Allison with a well-planned lunch in an underwater lab. Carter tries to provide a relaxing time, but tension rises as Allison becomes increasingly frustrated with him. The writers do an incredible job of not only building what looks to be engagement-ending tension but they also create a series of potentially catastrophic events within the lab that matches the course of the couple’s relationship issues.

Directed by Mike Rohl
Airs Mondays at 9pm Et on SyFy
The three-part arc that has found the Astraeus crew trapped in a virtual world comes to a predictable conclusion this week as the crew is rescued. Though the impending results are obvious, “Force Quit” is still an exciting episode that moves at a rigorous pace.
Beverly comes to Eureka to help Carter, Henry, and Lupo find the captives. Carter taps into the Matrix where he must cause a system overload that would help Henry and Lupo trace the signal and find the crew. Inside the Matrix, Carter convinces Zane, Allison, Grace, and Fargo that he is the real Carter and they are trapped in a virtual world. They work together to blow up the virtual Astraeus, causing a spike in the Matrix that crashes the system.

Showtime is developing The Damned into a supernatural series. THR reports that the network has a modern take planned on the comic book from writer Cullen Bunn and illustrator Brian Hurtt from Oni Press. The series revolves around "Eddie, a cursed man who rises from the dead." The original comics take place in Chicago during the prohibition era and revolve around demonic gang bosses, but the series will be a modern take.
The projecct will be written by David Hayter (X-Men and Watchmen) along with Warren Littlefield. Oni Press’ sibling company Closed on Mondays Entertainment’s Eric Gitter and Hayter are serving as executive producers. Joe Nozemack and Andy Bourne will also produce.
Showtime recently ordered pilots for three new projects: "a one-hour drama Masters of Sex; a docu-comedy from Andrew Gurland; and a family drama called Ray Donovan. Showtime also is developing Chew, a half-hour comedy based on the...

Showtime has picked up a script for a half-hour cop show based on a comic book series titled Chew.
The comic book series follows a Federal agent named Tony Chu that can get psychic images from the things that he eats. He gets assigned to the most bizarre crimes and he has to eat his way through the investigation. The comic, created by John Layman and Rob Guillory and published by Image Comics, is darkly funny and completely unique compared to the horde of tights and fights books on store shelves. Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer (Eureka) wrote the Chew script that will now be further revised by Showtime for their network.
A story like Chew is perfect for a cable network, at a minimum AMC, and at best HBO or Showtime, so it’s exciting that the network that gave us Dexter will develop the project [...]...

Never having read nor heard about John Layman's comic book series Chew (art by Rob Guillory) before, I was curious about the news that Showtime is adapting it as a dark comedy, a la "Dexter." Now I wish I'd known about it sooner and I'm hoping this thing gets aired, because it sounds right up my alley.
Chew is an award winning comic series, set in a time after an outbreak of bird flu killed millions of people. Eating any fowl is now illegal. Protagonist Tony Chu, a cop, is trying to track down suspected black marketers when he eats a bowl of chicken soup at a questionable restaurant; something very strange happens. Tony experiences a vision of the restaurant's chef, killing people and adding them to the soup. The detective chases down the chef, who immediately kills himself. So Tony does what any good cop would do, he has...

Further good news from the comic book adaptation world today, as Deadline have exclusively revealed that Showtime has bought a script for John Layman and Rob Guillory’s excellent Chew, which will be developed as a half-hour long TV series.
The script, acquired from Circle of Confusion (The Walking Dead & Powers), was written by Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer (Eureka) and now faces the Showtime treatment, and is set to come to screen under director Stephen Hopkins.
Great acquisition, but you have to wonder how well the show will translate, when its success in paper has a lot to do with the brilliant artwork, and a pretty bat-shit crazy premise that might unfortunately find itself necessarily toned down for TV. Still, exciting developments! Read on for my dream castings…

Hot off the success of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead and the news of Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Oeming’s Powers being developed for FX, Showtime is looking at John Layman and Rob Guillory’s Chew to be the next big comic book to make the leap to television. Chew won the Eisner Award for Best New Series in 2010 and is about Tony Chu, an Fda Agent who is also a cibopath, which is someone who gets psychic impressions by eating anything––including people. Chu uses his unique abilities to solve homicides and works for the Philadelphia Police Department. The world in which Chu lives in has been altered drastically by a major outbreak of the bird flu that wiped out 23 million Americans. Since then, all chicken and other aves-based meats have been outlawed.

It appears the recent comic book craze is successfully expanding from the big screen to the small screen. First, The Walking Dead popped up on AMC, proving it can be done. Then, Powers was scooped up by FX and Locke & Key found a home at Fox. Now, in the culmination of comic books' nefarious plan to conquer all visual media, John Layman and Rob Guillory's Chew has been bought by Showtime — an actual legit pay-cable channel!
Chew centers on Tony Chu, a police detective who solves weird crimes through psychic impressions obtained by eating. Examples: Chu can eat soup and discover the cook killed people. And, he can also eat the cook and discover who the cook killed. Yes, cannibalistic crime fighting! A perfect quirky comedic vehicle for Showtime. Top this, HBO.

Showtime has had a big appetite for new projects these days — and it looks like they're biting off a piece of the hit comic series "Chew" by Jonathan Layman and Rob Guillory.
According to Deadline Hollywood, Showtime bought the script as a half-hour cop show with Stephen Hopkins ("Californication", "Predator 2") attached to both direct and executive produce the project.
The comic series "Chew" centers around a police detective named Tony Chu with the unorthodox ability to receive psychic impressions from whatever he eats. Odd as it may be, through the years-long series it's borne out to be a valuable skill as Chu works for the police and a militarized F.D.A.
The script was written by two writers out of SyFy's "Eureka," Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer, and Showtime plans to tweak it somewhat before shooting.
Back in September, MTV Splash Page speculated about a potential cast for a "Chew" series,...

Let's face it; as much as we love "Dexter", the series is just not as sharp as it once was. Blame John Lithgow for a season that could never be topped in terms of quality and intensity. That being said, Showtime has another genre series on the horizon for us.

Stephen Hopkins (The Reaping, Judgement Night, A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child, Predator 2) is attached to direct and executive produce the project, which hails from Circle of Confusion, the company behind AMC’s hit series adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s "The Walking Dead."

Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer of Eureka fame have written the script for the pilot episode. A Chew TV series has been in a slow development stages for quite some time now. The success of the comic to TV series, The Walking Dead is believed to be the inspiration. Here is a brief synopsis of the series from IGN: Tony Chu is a cop with a secret. A weird secret. Tony Chu is Cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also means he's a hell of a detective, as long as he doesn't mind nibbling on the corpse of a murder victim to figure out whodunit, and why. It's a dirty job, and Tony has...

It appears that Warner Bros. is actively looking for a writer to tackle a new approach toward the much beloved classic Teen Wolf. No surprise, really, but it still hurts a little.
Moviehole broke the news, and while Warner is "not quite certain which way they’re going to go," a lot of people seem to think that Zac Efron will be the first person tapped for the role Michael J. Fox made so famous. But with no script and no director, it'll no doubt be a while before casting comes into play, and who knows who will be the hot thing by then?
Plus, as Moviehole reminds us, Upn briefly flirted with a live-action “Teen Wolf” TV series in 2003, hiring Terry Hughes and Ron Milbauer to write the pilot for a potential series about a college kid (as opposed to a high school kid) who discovers he’s got hairy palms.

Warner Bros is currently in search of writers to remake Michael J Fox's 1985 film Teen Wolf, reports Moviehole.
According to the site, a director has yet to be hired, and the studio won't begin casting until the script is complete.
In the original film, a high school teenager discovers that he can turn into a werewolf like his father. As a result, he becomes popular among girls and a great basketball player.
A sequel to Teen Wolf was released two years later, featuring Jason Bateman in the lead role.
Upn briefly considered a live-action Teen Wolf TV series in 2003, and hired Terry Hughes and Ron Milbauer to write the pilot, which never got off the ground.

UPN is developing a drama series with Warner Bros. TV loosely based on the 1985 Michael J. Fox feature Teen Wolf. The network is angling for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer-esque vehicle about a college student who discovers that he's a werewolf. Terry Hughes and Ron Milbauer are penning the script and will executive produce alongside Jennifer Gwartz and Danielle Stokdyk. Gwartz and Stokdyk were recently tapped to oversee TV for Joel Silver's Warner Bros.-based production company, but Silver's company is not involved with the Teen Wolf project.
