Ass-Kicking Bodyguard Will Be A Supermodel
Not surprisingly, Jerry Bruckheimer's Eleventh Hour, on CBS, will be the guiltiest pleasure of the fall TV season. The remake of a stodgy British show, about a scientist who goes around investigating "the worst abuses of science" with his female bodyguard, will replace Patrick Stewart with Rufus Sewell (Dark City). And the sexy ass-kicking bodyguard will be played by Marley Shelton (Grindhouse.) It sounds cheese-tastic, and really the only question is how quickly the "abuses of science" will turn into crazy mutants and exploding laboratories. Good times.

Jerry Bruckheimer Reinvents Patrick Stewart's Fear-The-Science Drama
Jerry Bruckheimer, creator of CSI, will copy Eleventh Hour, a British TV miniseries about a government scientist who investigates abuses of science, including killer viruses and stem-cell research run amok. (With his bad-ass female bodyguard in tow.) The British version starred Patrick Stewart, who went around insisting in interviews that the show wasn't an attempt to cash in on the success of the new Doctor Who. (But the show's creator/producer, Stephen Gallagher, wrote some of the most confusing Who episodes in the early 80s.) The American version, airing on CBS, will star Rufus Sewell, a British actor who starred in The Illusionist. [C21 Media]

The fog shut down one of two arrival runways at LAX, forcing the cancellation of a dozen flights. Police blamed one traffic fatality on the freak weather. So it may not have been the best plan for the Weinstein Company to claim responsibility. More »
