‘Phineas and Ferb’ to air ‘LOST’ inspired episode written by Damon Lindelof with guest star Terry O’Quinn

After conquering Marvel’s superheroes and Star Wars, Disney’s hit cartoon Phineas and Ferb is about to get Lost. In an upcoming installment “Lost in Danville” set to air Monday, September 29 at 7:30pm (ET) on Disney XD, the tinkering boys will find themselves in a mysterious episode written by Lost showrunner Damon Lindelof.

A mysterious locked capsule falls into Phineas and Ferb’s back yard and they struggle to open it, only to discover they have unleashed something they cannot control. Meanwhile, Perry learns that Dr. Doofenshmirtz has been abducted and tracks him to Seattle where another evil scientist, Professor Mystery, has his own sinister plan.

A locked capsule? A polar bear pictured in the still above? Perhaps the elusive Dharma Initiative and the sinister Smoke Monster will play pivotal roles here. Guest voices includes Lost‘s very own Terry O’Quinn (John Locke) as Professor Mystery and Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle) and Rob Morrow (Numbers) play capsule inhabitants Denise and Bernie (perhaps Danville’s very own Bernard and Rose?–just a theory!).

The ABC drama premiered on 9/22 back in 2004; celebrate 10 years of Lost by watching this specially themed P&F episode that is bound to be filled with easter eggs galore.

Conan tweeted this image from the set of Arrested Development today. He said:

Here’s the 1st official photo from the new Arrested Development on @Netflix. Spoiler alert: I’m an amazing actor.

Soak it all in people. Conan and his trusty talkshow sidekick Andy Richter will take part in the resurrection of the cult comedy. It returns with Jason Bateman’s Michael Bluth in tow next year. Bateman is so in character in this photo; he’s got that classic dumbfounded “nothing going on upstairs” Michael look plastered on his face.

Adrianne Palicki is Wonder Woman

Here is the very first image of Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights) suited up as Wonder Woman. NBC wants to reboot the classic 1970s series and they’ve tapped David E. Kelley to write and executive produce it. Can the man with a TV degree in law (The Practice, Ally McBeal, Boston Public, Boston Legal, Harry’s Law) successfully bring back the DC Comics superheroine in a way that is relevant and exciting? Time will tell. But for now gaze at the wonderful image sitting above. Palicki certainly has the looks to play the part. But I’ll wait for a teaser before making any further judgement. Cary Elwes (Saw), Tracie Thoms (Cold Case), Pedro Pascal (The Good Wife), and Elizabeth Hurley are attached to the Warner Bros TV project.

Andrew Lincoln is ready to turn comic book hero Rick Grimes to life in AMC’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s fantastic comic book The Walking Dead.  Says Kirkman: “Writing this book for the past seven years I’ve gotten very close to the character of Rick.  Andrew Lincoln embodies every aspect of the character that fans know and love.  After seeing this photo I don’t think that there will be a doubt in anyone’s mind that he’s perfect for the role.”  The anticipation is killing me.  The Walking Dead premieres in October on AMC.

The Walking Dead Picture

Look what we have here!  It’s a makeup test photo from AMC’s “The Walking Dead“, a new TV series based on Robert Kirkman’s comic book that shares the same name.  The upcoming series stars Andrew Lincoln as protagonist Rick Grimes, Sarah Waynes Callies as his wife Lori Grimes, and Jon Bernthal as Grimes’ partner.  Together they will lead a resistance in the fight against a zombie-dominated world.  “The Walking Dead” begins this October on AMC.  That is one good looking zombie, if I may be so bold.

Update: Quint from Aint It Cool News sat down with The Walking Dead comic book creator Robert Kirkman to talk about the upcoming AMC series.  Look after the break for some worthy takeaways. Continue reading A zombie from AMC’s “The Walking Dead” [Update] →

Lost finale night just got bigger

Image cache, News, Television, , , , ,

Sunday, May 23 is the day Lost ends.  But thanks to a recent change in plans, the show is looking forward to going out with a bang.  Before the 2 hour finale episode airs, an upgraded two hour retrospective (clip show) starting at 7PM ET will journey us back in time and make us relive how it all started and how we got to the events leading up to “The End.”  Following the finale (and local news) is a one hour special edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live called “Aloha to Lost”;  it promises to include an analysis of the finale and interviews with a number of casts members.  Previously it was mentioned that executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carton Cuse would join in on the discussion.  However, they announced on this week’s Lost podcast that they will not attend the live special.  In fact, they plan on going “radio silent” post-finale.  The episode “will be speaking for itself,” says Lindelof.  (Note that Darlton will appear as regular guests on JKL on Friday, May 21; they plan to tape a special video for Lost fans that will air on the special just two days later.)  In sum, ABC is dedicating 5 hours of Lost on May 23.  Lost finale night just got bigger, didn’t it?

Oh, but there’s more.  On Twitter Cuse announced there will be a special event called “Lost Live: The Final Celebration” at UCLA’s Royce Hall on May 13.  It will feature a live orchestra conducted by Lost composer Michael Giacchino and several cast members, plus Darlton, will be in there.  A private screening of the second-to-last episode will air for the fans in attendance.  Tickets are not on sale yet.  In addition, comedy troupe the Upright Citizens Brigade plans to host two Lost events on May 22, the night before the finale, in Los Angeles and New York.  Special guests like cast members and celebrity fans plan to be in attendance.  UCB member and well-known Lost fan Paul Scheer is working on making it all happen.

Update: Tickets for “Lost Live: The Final Celebration” go on sale Friday, April 23 at 10AM PT at at uclalive.org and ticketmaster.com.  It had been confirmed that composer Michael Giacchino will conduct a live orchestra and play songs from the show and that the following cast members will make an appearence:  Nestor Carbonell (Richard), Michael Emerson (Ben), and Jorge Garcia (Hurley).  All ticket proceeds will go to the Colburn School of Performing Arts.  After the concert, a screening of the penultimate episode will air for the attendees to experience together.  Note that if you’re there, you will be part of a select group of Lost fans to watch this episode a full five days before the rest of the world.  Think about it.  Tickmaster states in big bold letters “NO CELLPHONES ALLOWED.”  So you can forget about sharing the juicy details of the episode on Twitter and Facebook during the screening.
