What Community's Alison Brie said about Scream

At recent Scream Awards, I had the chance to catch up with the very busy Alison Brie. Standing a few feet from Wes Craven, her director in Scream 4 , we spoke about that upcoming slasher film and Brie's huge fandom towards the series. We also discussed this year's big Community Halloween episode, airing this Thursday night. Not to mention, a brief chat about her Mad Men character, Trudy Campbell. Let no one accuse Alison Brie of slacking, that's for sure!Q: What can you say about your character in Scream 4?Brie: It is top secret! And my boss is standing right there! I play Rebecca. She works for Sidney Prescott and she's a little go-getter. She really admires Gale Weathers, I'll put it that way. She kind of has a little bit of Gale in her, I think. She'll really do anything to get ahead.Q: What can you say about this year's Community dvd Halloween episode?Brie: It's a full departure, that episode. We actually shot some more stuff for it. It's like the never-ending episode, which is good, because it's a very exciting episode. I don't want to give too much away, except we all really take a step out of reality. But it is grounded, like all the stories are. It's something that could actually happen at Greendale, taken to the extreme.Q: Is there a murder mystery element there, perhaps?Brie: I wouldn't say murder mystery. I'd say it's more like a monster story.Q: I saw a picture, and it looks like you're dressed as Little Red Riding Hood?Brie: Well, you might be right about that, that's not a crazy secret. Yes, that's my Halloween costume!

News about No Ordinary Family

Both Better With You and the superhero family series No Ordinary Family dvd have been picked up. In related news, ABC has ordered five more episodes of Detroit 1-8-7 and 4 more of Brothers & Sisters dvd. Yes, apparently, those shows exist. We've come to that very special time in the Fall when we start hearing about which new network shows will be getting the axe and which will be getting picked up for full seasons. For some shows though, there's a comfortable place in between. ABC's superhuman family drama, No Ordinary Family, hasn't been picked up for a full run yet, but it's been given a big vote of confidence in the form of a script order for four more episodes.IGN had a chance to speak with Jim and Stephanie Powell, Michael Chiklis (The Shield dvd) and Julie Benz (Dexter dvd), and ask them about where the show is headed, the hidden darkness underneath the sweetness and the TV numbers game. There's nothing we can do about it really. I mean as people would like to believe that there's no real science to it, there's a lot of data that comes in and at the end of the day, Julie and I both feel that our instincts are correct that if you make a really good show then it's going to be the best thing you can do towards staying on the air. Sure, there're all sorts of different ways that can get screwed up in the way the show is promoted or placed or whatever, but the biggest thing that we can do to contribute to its success is make great shows. That doesn't prevent us from trying to figure it all out, of course.

South Park Producers Apologize for Inception

South Park dvd creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have apologized for borrowing lines in a recent episode that spoofed Inception from a CollegeHumor video.
The South Park episode, titled "Insheeption," and a CollegeHumor video both featured the same lines that mocked the complexness of the film, but just weren't actually from the film. One line in particular "Sometimes my thoughts of my dead wife manifest themselves as trains." was exactly the same.

Syfy orders a new 'Battlestar' pilot

American channel Syfy has reportedly ordered a new pilot depending on the popular science fiction franchise Battlestar Galactica dvd.

The channel have ordered a two-hour pilot as the basis for a new series, which will follow original protagonist William Adama.

The report claims the popular series, Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome, will take place during the early years of the Cylon war when a young Ensign Adama is assigned to the newly-built spaceship Galactica.

"We jumped at the opportunity to revisit the William Adama character and explore this exciting chapter in the Battlestar Galactica DVD Box Set narrative which falls between the events of the original series and the prequel Caprica," Syfy head of programming Mark Stern said of the new series.

A few months ago Syfy launched another prequel series as Caprica, which is set almost 60 years before the events of Battlestar Galactica box set and follows the creation of the show's main antagonists, the robot Cylon race.

The Simpsons Last Night

Remember when The Simpsons dvd was relevant and effing brilliant with their subversive label of funny? It's been awhile, but last night's couch gag has made the show watercooler talk worthy again, especially 'round the interwebs.

Famous graffiti artist Banksy, the guy who made his first feature documentary with 2010's Last Exit Through the Gift Shop, directed the opening credits to last night's episode and he took it to a very, very dark place. But funny.

See for yourself. And thank you, FOX, for being too busy cancelling Lone Star to lift a finger at the great job your own show did of skewering you.
