| Posted: 07 Jan 2014 07:20 PM PST A casting call for the show suggests that new footage will be shot. Twin Peaks fans are all aflutter with the news that David Lynch is shooting some sort of new footage for the 1990s franchise, beginning Tuesday. It started earlier this week when a casting call for a Twin Peaks promo was posted by Sande Alessi Casting. It's looking for a "hot" brunette or redhead between the ages of 18 and 27. Here's the casting call, according to projectcasting.com: "TWIN PEAKS PROMO. Directed by David Lynch. Shoots in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Jan 7, 2014. Prob a 6 hour or less day. Rate is 150/8. You must live in LA to submit. I don't think SAG has jurisdiction on this, so SAG and NON can submit. I have called SAG to double check this and I am awaiting a call back to confirm this though. HOT Caucasian girl – BRUNETTE OR REDHEADS ONLY to play waitress. Age 18-27. MUST have an amazing body. Busty, very period looking face. Please submit two current colour photos (one body shot, one face shot), your sizes, union status and contact info to: SandeAlessiCasting@gmail.com. Subject line should read: TP Promo." Although TheWrap spoke with someone at Sande Alessi Casting who said the ad sounds real, there's some speculation that it's false. A tweet from an unverified account of show co-producer Mark Frost said that the posting is false. Early speculation suggested Lynch is shooting the promo for the upcoming Blu-ray release of the former ABC series, which is reportedly slated for an early 2014 release. But, Bustle.com had a theory that the promo is meant to follow up on a scene during the show's series finale. Spoiler alert! Apparently, Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) tells Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) on the finale that she will see him again in 25 years. Although the show aired in 1990, it actually shot in 1989. So, 25 years later would be 2014. So, does that mean that Lynch is making good on Laura's promise? CBS TV, which distributes the series on DVD, hasn't returned TheWrap's request for comment on the casting call. Twin Peaks only aired for two seasons on ABC from 1990-1991, but it has since become a cult hit and spawned a feature film: the prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, which hit theatres in 1992. — Reuters |

| New TV series with female leads Posted: 07 Jan 2014 06:35 PM PST Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth and Emily Osment comedies will debut this year. ABC Family has ordered two new comedies to series: Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth's Mystery Girls, and Ashley Tisdale-produced Young & Hungry. Production will commence on both series in Los Angeles in early-2014, and both will premiere this year, as well. "It's great to start the new year and my tenure at ABC Family with the pickup of these two funny original series," ABC Family president Tom Ascheim said in a statement. He continued, "ABC Family's comedy lineup continues to resonate with our audience and I'm thrilled to boost that momentum by adding Mystery Girls and Young & Hungry, which are sure to become fan favourites." Starring and executive-produced by Spelling and Garth, Mystery Girls follows two former detective TV show starlets who are reunited by a real-life mystery. Miguel Pinzon (A New York Love Story) stars as a fan and witness to a crime who will only speak with the former TV stars. Maggie Malina also executive produces. Executive-produced by Tisdale, Young & Hungry stars Emily Osment as food blogger, Gabi, who becomes the personal chef to a wealthy tech entrepreneur (Jonathan Sadowski). Rex Lee, Aimee Carrero and Kym Whitley also star. Designing Women's Annie Potts plays a recurring role. Aside from Tisdale, the series is executive-produced by Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum (Two And A Half Men), CBS Television Studios, Relativity Television and Jessica Rhoades (Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure). "We are excited to expand our comedy brand with two new series that build on our already solid comedy block of hits, Melissa & Joey and Baby Daddy," said the network's chief creative officer and executive vice president of programming and development, Kate Juergens. "Viewers are excited to see Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth back on television together again, and will fall in love with Young & Hungry star Emily Osment in these comedies that bring us fun, new characters with which to laugh out loud," she continued. — Reuters |
