The TV Set Synopsis
In THE TV SET, writer/director Jake Kasdan uses his first-hand knowledge of the world of network television to craft a wily comedy about the making of a TV pilot. A story of art, commerce, and compromise, THE TV SET lays bare the people and the process that give us the shows we see every night.
Writer Mike Klein (David Duchovny) has just sold his pilot script “The Wexler Chronicles,” a character-driven dramedy inspired by his real-life struggle to cope with his brother’s suicide. Almost immediately, he discovers that realizing his vision will be an uphill battle. In the world of network television, a small handful of powerful, highly competitive executives determine America’s viewing choices. Lenny (Sigourney Weaver) is the brash, headstrong president of PDN (whose most trusted advisor is her 14-year-old daughter), and who must approve all of Mike’s creative decisions. Richard (Ioan Gruffudd), Mike’s one true ally at the network, was recently hired from the BBC to add a touch of class. But he is caught between his instinct to support Mike and his obligation to produce shows that will fit onto Lenny’s fall schedule.
Duchovny Returning to TV
David Duchovny to star in Showtime series
The actor, whose last regular TV gig was The X-Files, will be the lead in the cable net’s new comedy, which is expected to debut this summer (paired with new episodes of Weeds).
Duchovny’s character, divorced writer Hank Moody, is addicted to women
and has complicated relationships with two ladies he loves: his
16-year-old daughter and his ex-girlfriend (Natascha McElhone).
David Directing an Episode of Bones
David directed an episode of the Fox TV series Bones that will air in 2 weeks on Wednesday, December 13 called Judas on a Pole:
Booth and Brennan learn that a dead FBI agent was working on a case of corrupt members of a bank robbery task force that decided to frame civil rights activity Bobby Page in the 70s. They ask that the agent’s remains be recovered from his grave as they believe the Bobby Page case was manufactured. Is Booth ready to deal with the consequences of him investigating the death of a former FBI agent? Russ, Brennan’s brother, introduced to her and Booth Father Toby Coulter (played by Ryan O’Neil). The latter claims he has been given a message for her by her father: “Back off.” Zack has to defend a dissertation he wrote in front of a judgmental professor and his colleague. You can download the zipped MPEG trailer here. (30 Mb.)
I actually watch this show on a regular basis and enjoy it very much. If you’d like to play catch-up in the next 2 weeks, you can download episodes for free from Fox’s My Space. There’s even a Mulder and Scully reference in the pilot!
