It seems that CBS now remains the only big network not to receive the J.J. Abrams magic touch. Today we’ve learned that a new spy project co-written by Abrams has found a home at NBC, after a prolonged bidding war between NBC, ABC, and CBS. The currently unnamed spy drama concerns a husband and wife spy team—and before you even think it, I figure the show will differ from Mr. and Mrs. Smith (a property which ironically had a lot of trouble coming back to television recently) in some big way. It’s not like Abrams to be lazy with his project concepts, so I’d be surprised if he ended up simply rehashing someone’s previously trodden material.
This project marks Abram’s third foray into the spy genre after hitting it off big with Alias on ABC, and directing Mission Impossible 3. As a diehard fan of Alias (despite its major faults), it’s definitely exciting to see Abrams working in the spy genre on TVagain—though I hope that he brings something new to the table with this project. Alias certainly had its fair share of spy couples, so it’s not as if the relationship aspect of the profession is all that new to Abrams.
Josh Reims (Brothers and Sisters, Dirty Sexy Money) co-wrote the pilot with Abrams, and they also worked together on Felicity. The project was produced under Warner Brothers Television just like Fringe, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this is ends up being yet another TV series that Abrams walks away from soon after it launches. Then again, if Abrams manages to line up a good crew of writers to manage his initial concepts like Fringe (and to an extent, Lost), then that may not necessarily be a problem.

NBC to Air New Monsters vs. Aliens & Madagascar Specials
NBC has joined with DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. to air two all-new, family-friendly animated holiday television specials based on the studio's blockbuster feature films, Monsters vs. Aliens and Madagascar, both featuring many of the characters as voiced by the original talent from the films.
The first of the 30-minute specials is titled, "Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space," and is based on the 2009 smash hit, Monsters vs. Aliens. It features the voices of cast members Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, Kiefer Sutherland and Rainn Wilson (NBC's "The Office"). The special is set to air on Wednesday, October 28 (8-8:30 p.m. ET, repeating from 8:30-9 p.m. ET).
The second special, "Merry Madagascar," is based on the hugely successful smash hits, Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, which both featured the voices of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Cedric The Entertainer and Andy Richter. The special, which also features the voice of Carl Reiner, is scheduled to broadcast on Tuesday, November 17 (8-8:30 p.m. ET) and repeat on Saturday, November 28 (8-8:30 p.m. ET) just before the holiday season.
The announcement was made today by Angela Bromstad, President, Primetime Entertainment, NBC and Universal Media Studios.
"This is a major coup for NBC to join together with the esteemed artists at DreamWorks Animation as we bring to life new holiday stories based on these popular and lovable characters," said Bromstad. "We are intent on providing original, family-friendly programs that reflect the quality that big-screen audiences have come to expect from these franchises."
"We are thrilled to have two new DreamWorks Animation shows on NBC this holiday season," said Ann Daly, Chief Operating Officer of DreamWorks Animation. "The creative teams from the hit feature films were reunited to make these new specials and we hope they will become annual holiday favorites for families."
"Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space" is produced by Latifa Ouaou and directed by Peter Ramsey from a screenplay by Adam F. Goldberg. The story continues after the events of Monsters vs. Aliens, as Susan Murphy (Witherspoon) and the Monsters now work with the U.S. government as special operatives. When an alien presence is detected in Susan's hometown of Modesto, California -- right before Halloween -- the team is dispatched to investigate. Everything appears normal, right down to the jack-o-lanterns peering out from every doorstep and windowsill. But when Halloween arrives, those innocent-looking carved pumpkins are revealed for what they really are -- mutant aliens. The altered pumpkins then start to implement their fiendish plan to take over Earth. The Monsters are there to combat the mutant gourds and try to smash their wicked scheme.
"Merry Madagascar" was written by David Soren, Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath. The executive producer is Mireille Soria; Joe Aguilar is the producer and David Soren directs. The brand new holiday adventure stars everyone's favorite Central Park "zoosters" from Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. "Merry Madagascar" begins when Santa and his sleigh unexpectedly crash-land on the island, giving the jolly gentleman a case of amnesia. So it falls to Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria -- along with the ever-inventive Penguins -- to deliver the presents and save Christmas. And it doesn't hurt that Santa's Sleigh just might be able to make a little trip to New York City, so they can finally return to their beloved home. But during their appointed rounds, the four re-discover the magic of giving -- and that it is ultimately more important than their own wish to return home. Also included is a long-lasting North Pole/South Pole rivalry between the Penguins and Santa's reindeer, plus magic flying dust and a King Julien-based holiday called "Julienuary."

Bateman Talks Hancock 2, Arrested Development Movie
On Wednesday, ComingSoon.net asked Jason Bateman about the status of Hancock 2 since it was reported in Variety recently that the comedic actor will reprise his role in the Columbia Pictures sequel. Bateman told us it wasn't true, at least not yet.
"I only know what I've read," Bateman said. "No one has contacted me or anybody that represents me to ask if we were interested. I don't know anything about it. It's surprising to me that Variety would write that story because they're usually pretty well vetted before they report something and that was completely false. I haven't heard anything about it. The whole thing about me being on board could not be farther from the truth. I would love to be a part of the film, but I haven't heard anything about it."
While Hancock 2 may not be happening for now, Arrested Development is.
"It's still being written and my guess is that is will be shot some time next year," Bateman added. "I have a feeling that Mitch [Hurwitz] is halfway done writing it. We'll probably shoot it middle of next year and then for however long things take to get cut and marketed, so maybe the first part of 2011 I would imagine. That's just a guess."
Bateman can next be seen on October 9th in Universal Pictures' Couples Retreat, also starring Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, Kristen Bell, Malin Akerman and Kristen Davis.

Greg Daniels on The Future of The Office
Most fans of The Office (Scranton, USA) are simply stoked and relieved that Pam and Jim are finally making it happen, so a longer glimpse down the halls of the NBC series might seem verboten. Nevertheless, series creator and writer, Greg Daniels, recently chimed in on the future of the most aloof branch of Dunder-Mifflin…
While Steve Carell has emphasized that he has no intention of vacating the desk of Michael Scott, The Wrap asked Daniels about his plans if this happens…
Mindy Kaling very early on made the comparison to ER, and I think it would be possible to keep bringing new characters in. Ed Helms’s Andy Bernard was introduced in season three, for example, and Ellie Kemper (”Erin”) came on last year. In our premiere, we introduced three summer interns just for the episode, but by the end of it I was curious to see more of them.
But it is hard to imagine the show without Steve and the current cast at its core. We are still several years away from having to think about it, and I have a good idea for a series finale episode, too.
The possibility of a post-Scott era may have been mentioned before in previous interviews, but I hadn’t entertained the notion until now. On one hand, the signature documentary-style and atmosphere of the show could begin to feel as drab as office-life itself if prolonged for more than an additional handful of years a la Married with Children (or worse, Scrubs).
The flip is that the show is a dream haven for great comedy writers, and with Carell, Helms, and now John Krasinski breaking into high-profile features, it serves as an ideal primetime launch pad and, unlike SNL, a longterm roost for established talent to boot. Co-star and fan fave, Mindy Kaling (Kelly Kapoor), who works as a writer on the show, notably scribed the upcoming wedding ep, “Niagra,” with Daniels, and is developing her own NBC sitcom. Moreover, the setting of DM naturally lends itself to the idea of gradually changing workforce; and as Daniels mentioned, the current sixth season introduced the concept of interns, albeit it was executed with surprising brevity.
While we’re on the subject, though the future of Daniels’s Parks and Recreation doesn’t seem to be in jeopardy due to NBC’s trust and investment therein, its ratings have not improved this season. (The Office similarly debuted to a ratings struggle.) The show’s buzz, however, has witnessed a moderate turn around. I have the first two eps unwatched on my DVR, so I can’t chime in. What say you? Tidbit: As of last week, The Office UK now airs every Friday night on [adult swim].

Leonardo DiCaprio Attached to Deep Blue Goodbye
20th Century Fox is developing The Deep Blue Goodbye, an adaptation of the John D. MacDonald mystery novel series that has Leonardo DiCaprio attached to star.
Peter Chernin joins Appian Way's DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson Killoran as producers on the project written by Dana Stevens (For Love of the Game). Amy Robinson also is involved in a producing capacity.
DiCaprio is in line to play Travis McGee, a self-described beach bum who lives aboard 52-foot houseboat the Busted Flush and alleviates his cash-flow problems by hiring on as a "salvage consultant." He recovers property for clients, taking a hefty percentage and getting into a lot of danger and romance in sun-drenched Florida.

Ed Norton Cautiously Doesn’t Say That He Won’t Appear in The Avengers
It’s fairly unfortunate that when there’s a chance to sit down with Ed Norton, who has turned in some of the more immersive performances of a popular actor in his generation, and is currently impressing many with dual roles in Tim Blake Nelson’s Leaves of Grass, the conversation is eventually going to derail into baseless, speculative talk about his future as the Hulk. (And here I am perpetuating the trend, so shake your head at me, too.) Last week was all about Norton’s admission that seeing the Hulk as the villain in The Avengers would be fun. This week, the theme is time.
Speaking to MTV at Toronto recently, Norton said that scheduling an appearance in another Marvel movie is a matter of time. Not as in “it will happen eventually,” but “we all need to find the time.” Asked about whether he’s more reluctant than other actors to go back to the Marvel fold, the actor said:
I get very busy. You have to deal with the demands of your moment. I tend to keep my head in the thing I’m doing and I don’t speculate or worry too much about what two or three blocks down the thing is going to be. I know all these things will reveal themselves and work out or not.
All of which is a really polite, roundabout way of saying “I don’t know if I’m going to do it, and if I did I probably wouldn’t tell you. Hey, have you heard that I play dual roles in this current movie?”
I liked Norton’s Hulk. A lot. I enjoyed the direct, energetic nature of the script and the movie it became. I’d like to see Norton back as Bruce Banner, and would love to see him playing off Robert Downey Jr. But let’s agree to let this one lie for a while. Is Norton really going to drop an “I’m going back to Marvel” bomb anywhere but in an official press release or larger press event? Doubt it.

Meatballs Holds Off Bruce Willis and Fame
The ComingSoon.net Box Office Report has been updated with studio estimates for the weekend.
Despite the release of three new movies, the animated comedy Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Sony) based on the popular children's book by Judi Barrett remained at #1 with an estimated $24.6 million, a minimal 19% drop from its impressive opening weekend. The $100 million movie has grossed $60 million in ten days.
The main competition came from Surrogates (Disney/Touchstone), Bruce Willis' first action movie since 2007's Live Free or Die Hard, but it opened with an estimated $15 million in nearly 3,000 theaters, way below all expectations, for second place.
The remake of Alan Parker's 1980 musical Fame (MGM) opened in third place with $10 million in just over 3,000 theaters, averaging $3,241 per venue.
Steven Soderbergh's The Informant! (Warner Bros.) starring Matt Damon, dropped to fourth place with $6.9 million, down a respectable 34% from its opening weekend, with a ten-day gross of $21 million.
Fifth place went to Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself, which added $4.7 million to its total gross of $44.5 million in three weeks.
The sci-fi thriller Pandorum (Overture Films), starring Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster, failed to attract much of an audience, bringing in just $4.4 million in 2,506 theaters for sixth place.
The Jennifer Aniston-Aaron Eckhart romantic drama Love Happens dropped to seventh place in its second weekend with $4.3 million to bring its total to $14.8 million.
The Megan Fox horror-comedy Jennifer Body (20th Century Fox) took in $3.5 million in its second weekend, off 49% from last week, to take eighth place with a total of $12.3 million.
At #9... it was 9 (Focus Features), Shane Acker's animated fantasy, which has grossed $27.1 million in three weeks, followed by Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, which added $2.7 million to its impressive box office gross of $114.4 million.
The Top 10 grossed an estimated $79 million, down slightly from the last weekend in September last year when Shia Labeouf's Eagle Eye (DreamWorks) topped the box office with $29 million, followed by the Richard Gere-Diane Lane drama Nights in Rodanthe (Warner Bros.)
The per-theater-average winner of the weekend was Michael Moore's new documentary Capitalism: A Love Story (Overture Films), which opened in four theaters in New York and L.A. on Wednesday following its successful premieres in Venice and Toronto to gross $240 thousand over the weekend, an impressive $60 thousand per site.
Also opening in New York and L.A., the biopic Coco Before Chanel (Sony Classics) with Audrey Tautou brought in $177 thousand in 5 venues, while Scott Hicks' drama The Boys Are Back (Miramax), starring Clive Owen, took in roughly $51 thousand at 6 venues.
Tucker Max's controverial biopic I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (Freestyle Releasing) hit 120 theaters where it grossed $369 thousand or $3,000 per venue.

Venom Movie Moving Forward?
SCI FI Wire got a chance to talk to Zombieland co-writer Paul Wernick about the script for "Spider-Man" spin-off Venom that he wrote with Rhett Reese.
"We've written two drafts of Venom, and the studio has it, and they're pushing forward in whatever ways they push forward," Wernick said. He was tight-lipped about whether there was a relationship between Spider-Man 4 and the Venom project.
"We can't really talk about that, unfortunately," he added. "Basically, the studio and Marvel and the Arads are taking our drafts and going beyond and figuring out what's the next step."
