Wahoo! Barry {The Flash} Allen's Back

2008-04-30T22:56:00.000-07:00

The Flash outruns the reaper 23 years after saving universe and dying
BY ETHAN SACKS
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Barry Allen was not a flash in the pan. Introduced in 1956 as The Flash in the DC comic Showcase, he lasted until 1985, when he was vaporized after preserving the cosmos.

J. G. Jones

But in DC Universe 0, comic book folks have put Barry's pieces back together.
For a superhero who can run faster than the speed of light, it sure took him long enough to return.

DC Comics is reviving Barry Allen - aka The Flash - the popular superhero killed off by the publisher 23 years ago, the Daily News has learned.

Unlike other comic book deaths - even Superman went up, up and away for just a year - The Flash was so good at dying that his demise became part of comic book lore.

Many fans had come to like the character better dead than alive after he was disintegrated saving the universe.

"That's the point of comics - they don't have to die, because they're fictional creations," said Grant Morrison, one of the writers behind the comeback.

"We can do anything with them, and we can make them come back and make them defy death," Morrison said. "And that's why people read comics, to get away from the way life works, which is quite cruel and unheroic and ends in death."

Not so fast, said comic historian Alan Kistler. "Barry's had this heroic sacrifice, which is the coolest thing you can do for a superhero," insisted Kistler - unaware that DC Comics will announce the Flash's resurrection today in the last panel of its "DC Universe #0."

"If you brought Barry back, the question is can you do anything to top it?"

Well, The Flash did save the entire comic book industry.

When the red-and-gold costumed speedster debuted in "Showcase #4" in 1956, super heroes were virtually extinct; Westerns and war comics were all the rage.

All that changed with the surprise sales success of The Flash, rejuvenating the likes of Superman and paving the way for future superheroes, including Spider-Man.

"Without Barry Allen, we'd still be reading comic books about cowboys," Geoff Johns, co-writer of the new Flash comics, told the Daily News.

Morrison and Johns had been waiting for the right moment to bring back their childhood hero. In Johns' words, "When the greatest evil comes back to the DC Universe, the greatest hero needed to return."

Comic hyperbole aside, Morrison believes that it won't take long for The Flash to get back up to speed, alongside his Justice League teammates, Batman and Wonder Woman.

"He's the God of the modern world," Morrison said. "People are doing more everyday, moving faster and I think the Flash can be their hero. I do think he's a superhero for now."

Welcome to the "Dollhouse": Joss Whedon Returns to Television
You read that headline correct. I think I just wet my pants with excitement.

Joss Whedon is making his return to network television, with an original drama series entitled Dollhouse. Series, which will reunite Whedon with former Buffy the Vampire Slayer co-star Eliza Dushku (who will star and produce Dollhouse), has received a seven episode commitment from FOX.

Dushku will star as Echo, a member of an elite team of secret agents each of whom, according to James Hibberd at TV Week, has "the ability to be imprinted with custom personalities and abilities for special assignments. When they return, their newly acquired memories are wiped. The show follows Echo as she takes on a variety of assignments—some romantic, some adventurous, some uplifting, some illegal—and gains awareness of her role and confinement."

The idea for the series was hatched by Whedon at a lunch with Dushku, who was allegedly instrumental in bringing Whedon back to network television. The series concept was sold to FOX a week later.

For an interview with Whedon, check out Hibberd's Q&A at TV Week, in which the auteur talks about the potential WGA strike, returning to FOX, the future of that Ripper spin-off, and whether Nathan Fillion will pop up on Dollhouse.

More details emerging about Dollhouse, this time from Variety:

"Beyond Dushku's character, the show will also revolve around the people who run the mysterious "dollhouse" [the lab] and two other "dolls," a man and woman who are friendly with Echo. Then there's the federal agent who has heard an urban myth about the dolls, and is trying to investigate their existence.

Whedon admitted there's a little dose of The Matrix in the plot -- "I do have that entire movie tattooed on my brain" -- and said Dollhouse will enable him and Dushku to explore some political and social issues."

Dollhouse is expected to launch sometime in 2008, with production beginning as early as the spring, thanks to in-depth episodic outlines for all seven episodes written by Whedon.

A little Halloween treat for you all. Me, I'm already drooling with anticipation.

Go Team!

From Watch with Kristin-Smallville

2007-09-26T21:22:00.000-07:00

Just a little giddy good news to help ring in the new season of Smallville, which starts tomorrow night.

Reliable insiders tell me—and the CW confirms—that James Marsters (swoon, Buffy's Spike) is returning for four episodes of the superseries during the new season.

We last saw Marsters's character, Dr. Milton Fine (aka Brainiac), in Smallville's fifth season finale.

While it's unclear exactly how James is returning, I can tell you he's reprising the exact same character, he's returning to set very soon and his episodes begin airing in January. He also appears on CBS' Without a Trace this season.

'Tis good news, no? If you're happy and you know it, sound off in the Comments section below!

And don't forget to tune in to Smallville tomorrow night.

24-back in January

2007-09-19T21:17:00.000-07:00

The clock has reset for "24's" Day 7!
Fox has set a start time for Jack Bauer's 7th worst day.

"24" will have a three-hour premiere over two nights, 8-10 p.m. Jan. 13 and 9 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 14. Original episodes will air in its regular 9 p.m. time period every week and into June.

In addition to the previously announced castings of Janeane Garofalo and Cherry Jones as President Allison Taylor, as well as the surprising return of Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) from the presumed dead, the executive producers also announced that Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub) and Bill Buchanan (James Morrison) survived the gutting of CTU.

They'll transfer to Washington, where the seventh season is set, and where Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) faces trial for all those broken fingers and whatnot in pursuit of justice. What will be even better is if the new setting leads to sharper writing and a coherent plot.

Here's the press release Fox sent out this morning, which explains (sorta) Tony's resurrection:

"The innovative, addictive, Emmy Award-winning television series 24 resets the clock for Season Seven with a special two-night premiere event Sunday, Jan. 13 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Monday, Jan. 14 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

In keeping with FOX's commitment to airing original programming year-round, the intense season will unfold in 24's regular 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT time period beginning Monday, Jan. 14, and will continue to air all originals all season into June.

"Day 7" of 24 will continue the show's unique and trend-setting format with compelling new elements. With CTU dismantled, the show's setting moves to Washington, DC, where JACK BAUER (Kiefer Sutherland) faces trial for his actions in the pursuit of justice. Bauer's day gets off to a shocking start when former colleague TONY ALMEIDA (Carlos Bernard), last seen in "Day 5," returns after being left for dead by a terrorist conspirator in CTU's infirmary.

"Tony's uncertain fate near the end of 'Day 5' left the door open for his return," said executive producer/show-runner Howard Gordon. "And since there was no silent clock at the conclusion of his last appearance – the 24 tribute to a major character's demise – we always kept this as a possibility."

Bernard's return highlights a list of notable cast members clocking in for Season Seven, including the previously announced Cherry Jones ("The Heiress") as President ALLISON TAYLOR and Janeane Garofalo ("The Larry Sanders Show") as FBI Agent JANIS GOLD. Colm Feore ("Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee") will play First Gentleman HENRY TAYLOR and Bob Gunton ("Desperate Housewives") is White House Chief of Staff ETHAN KANIN.

FBI Agents assigned to the team investigating the crisis befalling Bauer include Garofalo's Agent Gold in addition to Annie Wersching ("General Hospital") as Agent RENEE WALKER, Jeffrey Nordling ("Dirt") as Agent LARRY MOSS and Rhys Coiro ("Entourage") as Agent SEAN HILLINGER. John Billingsley (PRISON BREAK) portrays security specialist MICHAEL LATHAM. Although CTU is no longer, CHLOE O'BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub) and BILL BUCHANAN (James Morrison) are back for another momentous day of shocking events.

As part of News Corp.'s global commitment to fighting climate change, 24 has pledged significant and innovative changes to its production practices with the goal of saving energy and reducing carbon emissions. Created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, 24 is a production of Real Time Productions and Imagine Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Joel Surnow, Robert Cochran, Howard Gordon, Evan Katz, Jon Cassar, Manny Coto, David Fury, Kiefer Sutherland and Brian Grazer are the executive producers

ABC, 'Wonderfalls' Duo Get Religion
Tim Minear, Todd Holland producing televangelist drama
August 28, 2007

Having had a rough run of luck at FOX -- "Drive," "The Inside," "Wonderfalls" -- writer-producer Tim Minear is taking his next project to ABC.

Minear and fellow "Wonderfalls" alum Todd Holland will executive produce "Miracle Man," a drama about a disgraced televangelist who finds a path to redemption. ABC outbid FOX for the project by offering a pilot commitment.

"It's about losing everything and starting over and finding that there is a higher purpose in life," Minear tells The Hollywood Reporter. "It's about a man who says, 'I don't know how to be good, but I'll try to be better.'"

The show will cover familiar ground for Minear, who attended evangelical schools growing up and whose father is an engineer for Christian radio shows. "Miracle Man" will take some cues from the scandals that brought down the likes of Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker, but Minear says the show won't make light of anyone's beliefs.

"It's a love letter to the religious," he tells the HR.

The show will focus on a fallen televangelist who has lost all faith -- until he discovers that God is working through him to perform actual miracles. Minear will write the script and Holland, who's also an exec producer of ABC's midseason comedy "Miss/Guided," will direct. Twentieth Century Fox TV is producing the pilot.
