NEWS - Achtung, anche Obama è uno serial...L'America a puntate alla viglia delle elezioni, nel libro must di Alessia Barbiero
Ci siamo. E' nella libreria virtuale di Amazon e tra pochi giorni sarà presente anche la versione cartacea. E' in vendita il primo libro di Alessia Barbiero "SETTIMO POTERE - Come le serie TV influenzano la vita sociale e politica". Cinema di serie B, prodotti minori: questi e tanti altri epiteti hanno macchiato la fama della serialità televisiva. Ma l’America di Obama ha dimostrato come ormai le serie TV non solo siano entrate nel mito di Hollywood, ma abbiano trovato un proprio spazio all’interno del dibattito politico a stelle e strisce, influenzando le scelte dell’elettorato, manipolando e creando idee. Ormai è un fatto assodato: le serie TV sono il settimo potere e il loro legame con la vita politica e sociale è stretto, indelebile, a tratti parassitario. Un libro pensato per gli addicted che non si perdono una puntata dei propri telefilm preferiti. Ma un libro pensato anche e soprattutto per i curiosi, per tutti coloro interessati a scoprire in che misura la componente mediale della televisione sia ormai fuoriuscita dalla “scatola delle meraviglie” per approdare nel mondo reale. Un mondo in cui finzione e realtà si incontrano, si scontrano, si sovrappongono
Chiosa l'autrice: "E' la storia di una passione. Nata sulle pagine di Linkiesta. Perché io fanatica di serie TV lo sono sempre stata. Sin da quando ho memoria. Sin dalla "Casa nella prateria" e dalla "Signora in giallo" che condivano le mie giornate di gioventù. E' la storia di una rivalsa: perché fare la giornalista di serie TV non è semplice. Sei snobbato dai colleghi di cronaca e politica (loro sì che fanno cose serie) ma sei snobbato anche da chi scrive di cinema: quella sì che è arte allo stato puro. E' una storia di cambiamenti perché la realtà è che sono nata - giornalisticamente parlando - proprio come cronista, spedita a destra e a manca per Milano a caccia di notizie, tra l'amianto delle vecchie case popolari, i disordini dei campi nomadi e i servizi sui pendolari. Poi la disillusione: diversi anni a lavorare sino a tardi e a ingoiare sconfitte, perché il fantomatico contratto non arriva mai. E quindi è diventata la storia di una scelta di vita: valigia alla mano, pronta per una nuova avventura. Destinazione Olanda. E un anno e mezzo fa decido di aprire un blog su Linkiesta. E' iniziato tutto per caso: in poco tempo sono diventata uno tra i più letti (e continuo a rimanerlo nonostante negli ultimi due mesi sia stata decisamente latitante): E QUI E' DOVEROSO UN GRAZIE. Sincero, sentito, di cuore, a tutti. A chi mi ha letto, criticato, commentato, a chi ha discusso con me e contro di me. Poi l'ordine dei giornalisti mi ha riconosciuto il praticantato d'ufficio e si è aperta la strada del professionismo. Infine, è arrivata la collaborazione regolare con Sky. E quella passione è diventata il mio lavoro. Un libro non è mai un punto d'arrivo. Lo so. Ma oggi un po' di soddisfazione me la concedo. In SETTIMO POTERE c'è un po' del mio bagaglio personale: ci sono le serie TV, c'è la politica americana che sempre mi ha affascinato, ci sono Obama e Romney e le imminenti elezioni, c'è la storia degli States, studiata in più occasioni durante il mio percorso universitario. Un'idea nata anche grazie a voi, che questo mio percorso l'avete seguito in tempo reale".

L'EDICOLA DI LOU - Stralci e commenti sui telefilm dai giornali italiani e stranieri

Pubblichiamo la seconda e ultima parte dell'intervista a Damian Lewis di "Homeland" realizzata da Kaye Schilling di "GQ" (Usa) - La prima parte nel Post di ieri.

GQ: Last year's finale was possibly the tensest episode of TV I've ever watched. The scenes in the bunker, where the bomb is strapped to your chest and it doesn't go off, and then you reset it in the bathroom—it was exhausting! How do you conjure up and maintain that kind of intensity?
Damian Lewis: The short answer is imagination. You build structure around yourself, you build walls around that reality until its water tight, and then you drop yourself in it, like it's a tank, and you don't let anything dilute it or invade that space. But by that stage in the season I'd spent four or five months playing a guy who is clearly very confused, whose conviction is honorable, but whose means to deal with it—the way he wants to deal with it—is less honorable and will result in mass murder, so it's not excusable in any way. But he's such a compelling character that it's understandable why he wants to act, because there are plenty of people who sympathize with his viewpoint regarding [the war in Iraq], if not the means in which he wants to deal with it.

GQ: That's one of the keys to the show's success, I think, that you do sympathize with a U.S. Marine who is a mole for Al Qaeda.
Damian Lewis: This was what was great about the first season: Brody's two realities. If you like, he's working under cover, so he lives a life of deception and dishonesty. But at the same time he's a man genuinely struggling with coming back from a war zone, who has been abused and changed in some way—just radically changed. And he's trying to make sense of his life at the same time. And that was always a clever piece of writing, because people—not everybody—but some people found themselves sympathizing with him while condemning him at the same time. So it was confusing for the audience. And I think that sort of ambiguity, that sort of strange place he lives in, comes to a peak at that moment where he wants to act in the name of an ideology and a cause, and is brought back from the brink by the real love of another human being, his daughter Dana. This bubble that he's lived in, this trance-like state he's lived in so he can commit an act of murder and suicide, is pierced by the sound of Dana's voice on the phone. That brings him back, which was a good message at the end of last season. That's more important than—that wins over some abstract cause that he's placed his faith in.

GQ: Is Brody's veneer cracking in season two?
Damian Lewis: Without giving away any spoilers, it's safe to say that at the end of that first season, he makes himself clear to Abu Nazir—who is turning out to be one of the great, abusive father figures in drama. For anyone who has had a bad relationship with their dad, or a confused relationship with a mentor figure, he will ring very true. He abused and broke this man when he was his prisoner, and then loves him, or shows him love, and forgives him in equal measure. So Brody is a complete abuse victim. He takes a very strong stand at the end of the first season; he's unable to go through with what Abu wants him to do and says he wants to choose a non-violent path. He stands up to this man for the first time in the seven or eight years he's known him, and what's going to be Brody's dilemma this season is that they won't let him. They won't let him be the man he wants to be because they effectively have him. And whereas before Brody was an unsettling figure for the viewer—no one quite knew he was, or what he felt, or what he was going to do, because Brody himself didn't really know that—now, I think, he's made a statement and he won't be allowed to act naturally. That's his dilemma, his tragedy, running through season two.

GQ: And now that Brody is a congressman, a public figure, he's also having to maintain a public face.
Damian Lewis: That's in addition to the domestic face he still has to maintain for his family. He's living a double life much more knowingly now. So Brody this season is in an even more heightened state of paranoia, never quite sure when people are going to contact him. So there's a shift there.

GQ: Did you have any reservations about the part before you accepted it?
Damian Lewis: I had a conversation with Howard and Alex just before accepting it, which was all done by telephone because I was filming in Manchester at the time. I just said, If this is a show about how a U.S. Marine is converted to Islam and then is radicalized and becomes a violent Muslim, I don't want to do it. Because I think that's dull and irresponsible. Then you're just a Muslim baddie, and I think that's unhelpful right now. I said, If his conversion to Islam is something that can be sustaining and nurturing to him, and actually is a force for good, and is actually something that is very peaceful and beautiful, then I'm interested. And I think that's more subversive, actually. And I think they kept to their word, and very painstakingly tried to find motivation for Brody that's, you know—it's too easy to make it that he's brainwashed. Brody's not brainwashed, he's broken, definitely, and he's abused and a confused soul. But the reason in the end that he wants to blow up the Vice President is because he's committed acts of terrorism, and it's for more personal vigilante reasons that he wants to act and take revenge. Abu Nazir actually doesn't successfully radicalize him. I don't think that's ever suggested in the first season. And that's why when it was finally decided that he would strap on a suicide vest, that surprised me, and I fought it for a bit: Really? Are you sure that's what you want to do, given all the work you've done about trying to promote the idea that Brody is not an Islamic or Muslim terrorist. But it was so powerful and symbolic, and such a political gesture to do that.

GQ: How much input do you have in the role?
Damian Lewis: I made that point clear at the beginning, and they are always happy to have my input, but honestly the role is taxing enough that it just needs all my attention, and for me to be sending notes or getting into conversations about trying to change things? That actually delays the final draft arriving. So I need to just get working with what I have.

GQ: Have you thought about who Brody was before the war?
Damian Lewis: He was a regular Joe. A conservative, Southern guy who had enough smarts about him maybe to set up his own company in carpentry or construction or something; he wasn't the guy just shifting the rubble. But, you know, two kids, a dog, an SUV out the front, a pension plan. Kind of uncomplicated. And I think totally changed by the war. A little bit older than his wife, who he probably met while she was still in high school. He was 21 and she was 17—something like that. Put the moves on her. Maybe waited until she was legal.

GQ: What kind of preparation did you do?
Damian Lewis: I read a lot about Islam. I have a Koran by my bed. I went to the Central London mosque, and, you know, they are all bending over backwards to create a good image. The PR is working overtime. So they are very welcoming. They invite you in to observe prayer. And I'm good friends with Imam Bisam, who runs the Islamic community in Charlotte, and he's invited me into prayer.

GQ: This might be too personal, but are you religious?
Damian Lewis: I grew up in a totally middle of the road Anglican household, and we had chapel every day at boarding school. I was always the prayer of St. Francis, so it was very much a part of my life. But I'm not a believer. I don't believe in the Resurrection or the Holy Trinity, so it kind of stops there, right? There are certain things, certain central tenets, you kind of have to buy into. What I do believe in is the moral code of Christianity. I believe in Jesus as a profit, though not the son of God. Which is what a Muslim would tell you, too; that's he's one of the five revered prophets. But I'm a little inclined to think that religions are a little like cults, and I particularly feel that after spending time in the South.

GQ: Were you following the war before you got this part?
Damian Lewis: Of course. I was among the million or so people who marched against the war in Iraq in 2003. And that was part of the concern for me—where would the show go politically.

GQ: Because Howard and Alex, who were writers on 24, got flak for that show being too conservative?
Damian Lewis: [24 co-creator] Joel Surnow did initially, more than Howard. I think that was a very Might is Right response to 9/11. Jack Bauer would just get it done—he was a kind of hunky, macho, grunting hero.

GQ: Bauer was so freaking serious. Just once, crack a joke!
Damian Lewis: I know! I've met Kiefer and he's a witty guy. Actually he's very entertaining to spend time with. So they could have written to that, but they chose not to.

GQ: To me, 24 was more of a cartoon—as opposed to Homeland, which has more nuance and feels emotionally deeper.
Damian Lewis: I'm glad you think that; I think that too. I think that's Alex's contribution. It's very much more where his sensibility lies. And as you know he co-created the show with Howard and they've known each other since they were 19. They roomed together at Princeton.

GQ: President Obama's other favorite show is The Wire, which starred Dominic West. I read somewhere that you started acting after you saw him do Hamlet. Is that correct?
Damian Lewis: Not strictly, but we were at the same school together—Eaton—and I saw him do Hamlet. He was a few years ahead of me—I think he was 17—and I thought, Wow, he's fantastic. That's what I want to do. But I'd been acting since I was eight. Drama was a really important part of the curriculum at the schools I went to, and I loved it at the word go. I was just always better and happier when I was doing theater. And then I said to hell with university and decided to go to theater school in London. And I've been just very lucky.

GQ: Did you ever think, I'm going to be an American TV star!
Damian Lewis: Not at all. I came out of the classical theater. You know, American TV for me, as a kid, was Batman. It was Adam West and Burt Ward! And, you know, CHiPs, Dukes of Hazzard. That's the American TV I grew up on. So that was another world, and nothing to do with my experience.

GQ: There's a sense these days that TV roles are richer than what you find in movies. Would you agree with that?
Damian Lewis: It depends on what kind of movie or TV you're making. But I do think there are more roles written for men in TV, and that's because the classic arenas of hospitals, crime, and law tend to work better with men and women rather than 24-year-olds. Casting directors are generally looking for hot and new and shiny for film. Hollywood doesn't seem to want to spend the time to make stars anymore. But I think one of the reasons the writing on American TV has gotten so much better than when I was watching as a kid, is that the best of it does feel like films. One reason is that a lot of the big film directors—like Gus Van Sant, Michael Mann, Martin Scorcese—are in TV now. But I think it also has something to do with the independent film world sort of dying out in the past five years—films like Keane, which I was able to make in New York City six years ago, was almost like the last moment you could get a film together in the two million dollar range and have it seen by anyone.

GQ: Last question, and I save the best for last. Tell me about your groupies, the Damian Bunnies.
Damian Lewis: What can I tell you that you can't imagine?

GQ: When did you first become aware of them?
Damian Lewis: I feel like they've been around for a long time, though I genuinely can't remember when they first appeared in my life. You know, they're a fantastic group of fans.

GQ: How do they, um, celebrate you?
Damian Lewis: They send me their panties. [Laughs] This is an old story now, but it's very entertaining. About five or so years ago, the members decided to send me their panties for my birthday. This one woman coordinated it, and about forty women responded. I got sent this Victoria's Secret's box full of underwear from as far away as Australia. There were little tags attached to each one, with a name and age and hometown. So, for instance, an enormous pair of Granny pants, saying "Hi, grandmother of 17 from Minnesota." And then a lacy g-string: "Hi! I'm 19. My name is Kimberly and I'm from Australia!" I had them strewn around my bedroom—I mean, how often does that happen? And after about 48 hours, I remember thinking, You are a sick bastard, you better clear these knickers up. So I throw them in the trash and put it outside for collection. I go out and come back later that night—at this point, I lived in Camden Town, on the same block as Amy Winehouse, and it's an old, cobbled street, very Dickensian, and it had been raining, and the moon was hitting the cobblestones in a very picturesque way, and I turn onto my street, and I think, What is all that shit in the road? And I get closer to it and I realize it's all the panties, all in a line, going around the corner, like Hansel and Gretel's bread crumbs.

GQ: I can't believe you threw them all away.
Damian Lewis: Don't tell them.

GOSSIP - Jennie Garth shock! "Sono felice di essere sopravvissuta al divorzio! Mi ha salvata Luke Perry con il quale faremo una sit-com"
Articolo tratto dall'"Huffington Post"
It's been a year of emotional upheaval for Jennie Garth, whose 11-year marriage to actor Peter Facinelli ended earlier this year. And the "Beverly Hills, 90210" actress raised concern when she subsequently appeared to drop a significant amount of weight. But in a revealing new interviewwith People, Garth says she's going to be just fine."[2012] has been a bit of a rebirth for me as a person by shedding that negative space and all the pain associated with that time," she says.And as for her newly svelte figure, Garth says she resolved to "focus on taking better care of myself" by losing "30 lbs. of dead weight."Back in May, on an episode of her CMT reality show, "Jennie Garth: A Little Bit Country," Garth admitted that the divorce threw her for a loop. "I think with any sort of rejection, you're angry that you weren't enough for that person," she added. "So I don't know if I'm angry at myself for not being enough, or if I'm angry at him for not considering me to be enough." But in People's cover story, Garth sounds as if she's in good spirits. "It definitely feels like a great time in my life," she tells the magazine. "Even through the ups and downs, I'm happy. I'm thankful to be alive." And, of course, it helps that she's had support from old pal Luke Perry. “Luke has been one of my friends who I can call and talk about stuff and has been through something himself,” Garth told In Touch about her "90210" co-star. Garth and Perry recently reunited for an Old Navy ad that spoofs the infamous "90210" scene in which her character is forced to choose between traveling the world with bad-boy Dylan and a marriage proposal from dependable Brandon. In further good news for "90210" fans, Garth and Perry are reportedlydeveloping a sitcom together.

L'EDICOLA DI LOU - Stralci e commenti sui telefilm dai giornali italiani e stranieri

Pubblichiamo la prima parte dell'intervista a Damian Lewis di "Homeland" realizzata da Kaye Schilling di "GQ" (Usa) - La seconda parte domani.

Damian Lewis shows up for our meeting at a downtown New York City hotel looking the very opposite of his conservative, buttoned-up character on Showtime's Homeland: U.S. Marine-turned-terrorist mole Nicholas Brody. The actor is Rat Pack-jaunty in a straw porkpie hat and vintage-y polo shirt in avocado green, and a lot more gregarious than the repressed guys he plays to perfection (see also the 2002 version of The Forsyte Saga and HBO's Band of Brothers). You may have heard that he just picked up an Emmy for his performance on Homeland, as did the show (which returns on Sunday at 10 p.m.), as did his co-star Claire Danes, who plays Carrie Mathison, Brody's CIA nemesis and one-time fuck buddy. The London-based father of two (with actress Helen McCrory—Narcissa Malfoy in a few of the Harry Potter movies), is temporarily living in North Carolina, where Homeland is shot, but he's here for a fashion shoot for GQ (look for the results in our November issue). He wants a beer, but we're sitting in an empty dining room. Eventually a staffer walks by and we order, but thirty minutes go by and no beer. Lewis decides he doesn't care, then reconsiders: "No," he says bounding out of the room in search of a waiter, "I do want a beer! I was just being British and polite." Apparently playing Americans is wearing off on him. (Note: If you haven't watched the first season of the show, there are spoilers ahead.) 

GQ: Now that I've met you, I can see you're a lot more like the looser, funnier Charlie Crews—your character on NBC's Life—than either of the intense dudes you play on Band of Brothers or Homeland. It's really a shame NBC cancelled that show after two seasons—it was very good.
Damian Lewis: It's surprising how many people stop me to say that very thing. But I guess this is the new life that TV and film has thanks to On Demand and Hulu and box sets. I was having this conversation with a friend about how there's rarely a correlation between how many people have seen a show versus the hype that's around it. Judging by the reaction to Homeland, you'd think everybody had seen it. But actually, only 3 or 4 million watch it each week, which is less than half the number of people who watched Life. But even with its AFI award, Life was deemed only a mid-ranking success because it was on a network rather than cable. So it's rewarding three years later when people are still coming out of the woodwork to talk about how much they liked Life. I'm not disappointed personally because I'd still be doing it and I wouldn't be doing Homeland. But I'm disappointed for Rand [Ravich], who created the show. He deserved more from it. I thought it was very cleverly written.

GQ: Not to mention Life introduced your now famous co-star, Christina Hendricks.
Damian Lewis: She was simultaneously doing the first season of Mad Men. But people hadn't seen her in that yet.

GQ: And now look at her!
Damian Lewis: It's funny how that happens on TV: The headliner breaks in season one, and then the networks start picking off other members of the cast: Who do we push forward now? John Slattery is a friend of mine. We lived next door to each other when I was shooting Life and he was doing Mad Men.

GQ: Did you surf with him?
Damian Lewis: No, because I'm a horrible surfer. But I used to play golf with him, and then I couldn't get him to play anymore because he became totally obsessed with surfing. I don't like getting up at 5 a.m. and jumping in the water. I'm a slow starter.

GQ: But you play soccer really well, right?
Damian Lewis: I love playing sport. I love going for a swim. Growing up in England, anywhere with a pool seems like the height of glamour to me. I have a pool in the apartment complex in Charlotte [N.C.] where we shoot Homeland, and it always feels very James Bond to have orange juice and coffee by the pool. For the first season of the show, I'd get up in the morning, jump in the pool, and lie in the sun, eating my breakfast. Then, of course, I'd realize that I had to smother myself in cream because I'm so pale, and it became a real ordeal. The novelty is wearing off a bit.

GQ: Apparently Homeland is Obama's favorite show. And you were invited to the White House because of that?
Damian Lewis: The serendipity of it is extraordinary. It just happened to be a British state visit in the year of the Olympics and there was an emphasis on sport and culture and I happen to be a Brit playing an America in Obama's favorite TV show. And it was at the zenith of Homeland's publicity, and so I somehow wiggled my way onto an invite list. The timing was everything. But it was fascinating.

GQ: What was Obama like?
Damian Lewis: He was unbelievably gracious and fun and happy to share a joke. My wife and I stood in line and when he got to us on the receiving line, he shook my hand, and I looked him in the eye and said, "Please let us know if you have any plans to go into Iran because we'd like to be as current as possible in season two." Quick as a flash he said, "We'll be sure to let you know." And we walked into the dining area and thought, Well, that's it. We'll probably be sitting next to the toilets. And then we found our names at the head table. I had Warren Buffet on my left and the president on my right. I got involved in a long conversation with them about energy policy. And the president told a great anecdote about Warren showing up at the Oval Office in a tattered old tie. He said, "You know, Warren, when you show up to see the president of the United States, you should have a nice tie." And he went into his closet and gave Warren one of his own ties and said, "Put it on." So we had this joke about how Warren goes to the White House to get new ties.

GQ: You're about four episodes into shooting season two of Homeland. Brody is now a congressman who, as we saw in last season's finale, wants to influence U.S. policy from inside. It was tough to pin Brody down in the first season: He was turned by Al Qaeda operative Abu Nazir while he was a prisoner of war in Iraq. It is Nazir who asks him to kill Vice President Watson via suicide bomb. But Brody only agrees because he felt it was the patriotic thing to do, because Watson is complicit in the atrocities in Iraq. That's one complicated terrorist! Do you have a better sense of him this season?
Damian Lewis: No, I have a worse sense of him because, um, you know, things have shifted and there's a very different set of circumstances now that he's a congressman. Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa [the show's creators] are very bold with their storytelling, and keen on staying half a step ahead of the TV audience, who are exceedingly analytical now. They can get ahead of you quickly, so the writers are always trying to pull the rug out from underneath people's feet. And I think, in their efforts to do that, it can be quite surprising for the characters too. I'm keen that any incident that happens on the show should still be based in that very confused, complex psychological state that the first season lived in, which is what I think elevated it above just your normal thriller. It never became improbable, because it was based in the reality of damaged people.

GQ: And I think it's fair to say that everyone on this show is pretty seriously damaged.
Damian Lewis: Everybody is desperate and unattractive, mostly, but made sympathetic in some way by their passions and longing—their causes—whether they are personal or broader political causes. That's what makes them attractive. But we're certainly in a place now where—already you can see it in episode four—that everybody is stretched, everybody is becoming slightly unhinged in their attempts to achieve their goals. And if everyone is like that, it means you never have one character who is able to point out other people's craziness because they're so wrapped up in their own. It's really fun to play someone who behaves badly in extremis. I think that's part of what Breaking Bad does so well.

NEWS - Olalaidì! Avete idee nel cassetto per una serie tv? Tiratele fuori e andate in Alto Adige...

Roma, 1 ott. (Adnkronos/Cinematografo.it) - 'Racconti', lo Script Lab della Bls (Business Location Sudtirol), e' un programma per lo sviluppo di soggetti cinematografici organizzato annualmente dalla Bls, Film Fund & Commission dell'Alto Adige. Questa seconda edizione di 'RACCONTI.2', e' specificatamente rivolta a sceneggiatori e autori professionisti di serie tv delle aree linguistiche italiana e tedesca, che abbiano un'idea da sviluppare sull'Alto Adige. Condizione necessaria per poter partecipare al laboratorio e' che l'idea presentata abbia un forte legame culturale o storico con questo territorio. Particolare attenzione sara' rivolta ai progetti adatti per una coproduzione tra Italia, Germania, Austria e Svizzera. Lo scopo dello Script Lab e' quello di aiutare i partecipanti a sviluppare un trattamento che sia pronto per essere presentato ai finanziatori e che possa suscitare l'interesse dei produttori. Nell'eventualita' in cui un produttore fosse interessato ad uno dei trattamenti elaborati, quest'ultimo potrebbe richiedere alla Bls un finanziamento per lo sviluppo della sceneggiatura. Gli autori partecipanti al programma lavoreranno al proprio materiale con un team di esperti sceneggiatori internazionali di serie televisive al fine di sviluppare un trattamento pronto per il mercato. Termine per la presentazione delle domande di partecipazione e' il 15 novembre 2012. Quello che la Bls sta cercando non sono copioni gia' finiti, bensi' idee non ancora realizzate. Grazie al sostegno di esperti internazionali, gli autori svilupperanno il proprio soggetto per una serie tv sia nel corso di due workshop, della durata di tre giorni ciascuno, che si terranno in Alto Adige, sia tramite consulenza drammaturgica individuale (online) da febbraio a luglio 2013. I workshop si terranno in lingua inglese. La partecipazione a 'Racconti' e' gratuita, a carico dei partecipanti saranno unicamente i costi di viaggio. Al termine del progetto una giuria selezionera' inoltre il vincitore di un Development Award del valore di 5.000 euro e di una Residency di tre settimane in Alto Adige finalizzato alla ricerca.
