NEWS - Halle-lujah! Attesa spaziale per "Extant" con l'accoppiata Barry-Spielberg
Articolo tratto da "Entertainment Weekly"
Cop shows, doctor shows, courtroom-based dramas–for years, Halle Berry had heard pitches for just about every iteration of what’s already on TV. Nothing seemed invigorating enough for her to briefly abandon a still-thriving film career. Then, in the fall of 2013, a spec script called Extant started a feeding frenzy in Hollywood, with just about every major TV player–ABC, FX, Netflix, you name it–trying to buy the sci-fi thriller. As soon as CBS prevailed, CBS Entertainment Chairman Nina Tasser knew exactly who she wanted to play Molly Woods, an astronaut who returns from a year-long solo mission in space with a baby (possibly alien in origin) in her belly.
“The minute I started to read it, I couldn’t put it down,” says Berry, who spoke to EW in an exclusive interview for this week’s cover story on Extant (airing July 9 on CBS). “I thought, ‘Wow. This is different.’ It’s innovative. Molly is a strong female character, which I really love to play. Molly is a complicated woman with a complicated family. Who is a woman who goes away to space for a year and leaves her husband, first of all? Who is a woman who comes back pregnant and tries to handle it somehow on her own? That just felt like a complication that I wanted to be a part of.”
Extant has all the elements of an exciting new sci-fi series: spaceships, futuristic toys, aliens–even Steven Spielberg, who is an executive producer through his company Amblin TV, which is also responsible for CBS’ summer hit Under the Dome. “I remember walking on the stage and someone going, ‘Oh, Steven is here by the way,’” says Goran Visnjic, who plays Molly’s husband John. “I was like, ‘Really? Is my hair okay?’”

Articolo di Kathleen French per "Arts.Mic"
"There was a time when summer was dead for television — a creativity wasteland filled with reruns and daytime schlock. Indeed, quality TV during the summer months is a recent phenomenon and now that it's officially summer, it's a phenomenon we are ready to enjoy. Given this golden age, networks are upping the ante year-round. These are the programs your friends will be (or at least should be) talking about this summer. Queue up the DVR, get your streaming schedule ready or just settle in at the actual times when these shows are actually on TV. However you choose to watch, happy viewing.
1. "Almost Royal" (BBC America)
Saturdays at 10 p.m. (ET)
Fan of British humor? Then you should be watching BBC America's first original comedy-reality show, it's brilliance is in keeping with the mockumentary tradition of The Office. This time 'round, the subjects are two spoiled, aristocratic siblings who are touring the United States and attempting to understand American culture. The show's stars are Ed Gamble and Amy Hoggart, both young comedians to keep an eye on. The premiere was this past Saturday, so catch up before next week.

2. "Tyrant" (FX)
Premieres: Tuesday, June 24, at 10 p.m. (ET)
This 10-part drama series, brought to you by Homeland developers Howard Gordon and Gideon Raff, follows protagonist Bassam Al Fayeed, a renowned pediatrician based in L.A., as he returns with his wife and two teenage children to the fictional Arab country Baladi after a 20-year self-imposed exile. The twist? His father used to be the dictator. Baladi is still embroiled in political turmoil, and Al Fayeed and his family are drawn back into the conflict. Anything from the minds of the Homeland team is sure to make a few waves.

Premieres: Friday, June 27, at 9:45 p.m. (ET); moves to 8:30 p.m. (ET) on Friday, July 11
Feeling really nostalgic? Disney is rebooting Boy Meets World, to the tune of Girl Meets World. Cory and Topanga are now married with kids, and the show centers on their 12-year-old daughter Riley as she presumably tries to find her Cory/Topanga equivalent. Though Mr. Feeny will not be reprising his role as a series regular (Cory is Riley's history teacher, after all), a large number of Boy Meets World alums are confirmed to reappear, including William Daniels (Mr. Feeny), Lee Norris ("Minkus"), Betsy Randle (Amy Matthews), William Russ (Alan Matthews) and Rider Strong (Shawn). We don't care how corny it looks, we're watching.
4. "The Leftovers" (HBO)
Premieres: Sunday, June 29, at 10 p.m. (ET)

4. "The Leftovers" (HBO)
Premieres: Sunday, June 29, at 10 p.m. (ET)
Two percent of the world's population suddenly vanishes without explanation. Fast-forward three years. So begins The Leftovers, created by Damon Lindelof (cocreator of Lost)
and Tom Perotta (who wrote the novel from which this was adapted). The
show explores the apocalyptic, not from by irreparable destruction or
zombies, but through the grief of inexplicable loss and collective
uncertainty in a small New York suburban town. It stars Justin Theroux
and Liv Tyler.
5. "Extant" (CBS)
5. "Extant" (CBS)
Premieres: Wednesday, July 9, at 9 p.m. (ET)
There has been a lot of buzz around this series, executive produced by none other than Steven Spielberg and starring Halle Berry as an astronaut who has returned home after a year in space. Here's where things get weird: in her health exam back on Earth, Berry's character learns that she's pregnant, though this is "impossible," given she was on a solo mission.
Wait, it gets weirder: the son she has with her husband is actually a machine … who appears to know a thing or two about the potential extinction of humanity. Extant has positioned itself as a show with a lot of questions. The question on our end is how well it will answer them.

6. "Welcome To Sweden" (NBC)
Premieres: Thursday, July 10, at 9 p.m. (ET)
Can you ever have too much Amy Poehler? Did you even know there was more Poehler to have? Poehler has a brother, and her brother has a new comedy coming to NBC (which NBC has already renewed for a second season). More Poehlers. Greg Poehler stars in the largely autobiographical show about how, after 12 years of practicing law in New York City, he moves to Sweden to follow his girlfriend. Greg knows nothing about Swedish culture or the language, and hijinks ensue.
Along with appearances by Amy, Will Ferrell, Aubrey Plaza and Gene Simmons are all slated to make cameos.

Premieres: Sunday, July 13, at 10 p.m. (ET)
Looking for a new show to watch while cowering behind your couch? Then your hunt can stop with Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) and Carlton Cuse's (Lost) new vampire series. An outbreak of vampirism (à la zombie-ism in World War Z) has struck New York City, and one CDC doctor is at the helm of trying to find a cure. Don't roll your eyes: This is not a show about nice or sparkly vampires. These are not vampires that will carry you on their back and call you a "spider monkey." They are terrifying monsters who kill anyone in sight.

8. "Manhattan" (WGN)
Premieres: Sunday, July 27, at 10 p.m. (ET)
There is a lot of potential for WGN’s Manhattan, executive produced by Sam Shaw, a former writer for Showtime's Masters of Sex. The series is set in 1943, in a secluded New Mexico town harboring the scientists working on the most top-secret project of all: the first atomic bomb. Charting the relationships between the scientists and their families as they wrestle with the implications of their work, Manhattan is definitely worth checking out.

9. "The Quest" (ABC)
Premieres: Thursday, July 31, at 8 p.m. (ET)
Someone at ABC let an executive producer from The Lord of the Rings create a reality television show, and it is absolutely everything that you would want from someone with those credentials. Premise? LARPing: coming to a TV near you. "Normal" adults dressed like they're at a Renaissance Faire battle an army of orcs (played by actors) to defend their ice kingdom and tiny castles on television. This could be one of the most entertaining reality shows in a long while. Who doesn't want to watch a bunch of actual adults fight elaborately styled orc-actors in the service of an imaginary monarchy?

10. "Knick" (Cinemax)
Premieres: Friday, Aug. 8, at 10 p.m. (ET)
The Knick is hands-down one of the most talked-about debuts of the summer, reason No. 1 being that it briefly brought Steven Soderbergh out of retirement to direct the 10-episode season. The show takes place in turn-of-the-century New York, and stars Clive Owen as a surgeon who is determined to push every boundary to save lives. In the recently released trailer, it appears that means the surgeon's methodology isn't always precisely legal or ethical. Earlier teasers flashed the tagline "Surgery wasn't always science." There's a distinctly creepy vibe to the show (a little American Horror Story), so it will be interesting to see where the series goes, particularly given that its creators, Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, have been behind far more family-friendly films like Big Miracle and Raising Helen.

11. "Legends" (TNT)
Premieres: Wednesday, Aug. 20, 9 p.m. (ET)
Legends follows FBI agent Martin Odum (Sean Bean), who operates deep undercover but can and does consistently change identities. The problem becomes (in a Bourne-esque twist) that Odum begins to doubt who he actually is. The show is based off the novel by Robert Littell and has executive producers from Homeland and 24, with a premiere directed by David Semel (Homeland, Hannibal, American Horror Story). If Legends proves to be as good as the concept is intriguing, then TNT may find itself contending for awards with networks like HBO, Showtime, AMC and FX next year. Are there any new shows you're excited about that aren't included in this list? Make sure to post them in the comment section below.

NEWS - Clamoroso alla White House! Fermi tutti, la figlia di Obama lavora sul set di "Extant" con la coppia Steven Spielberg-Halle Berry (Paese che vai, conflitto d'interessi che trovi!)
Articolo tratto da "The Wrap"
President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama's oldest daughter Malia could be setting her sights on Hollywood. Malia Obama, who turns 16 on July 4, was spotted this past week working as a production assistant for a day in Los Angeles on the set of Halle Berry‘s upcoming sci-fi series “Extant,” an individual with knowledge of the production told TheWrap.
“She helped with computer shop alignments and the director also let her slate a take,” the insider said.
The insider also said Malia laughed with delight saying, “My first time. This is a big deal.”
CBS has not yet not responded to TheWrap's requests for comment. A spokesperson for the First Lady also has not responded. In
the series — which hails from Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television and
CBS Television Studios — Berry will play an astronaut who returns home
from a year-long solo mission in space and tries to reconnect with her
husband and son in their everyday life. Her experiences in space and
home lead to events that ultimately will change the course of human
history.
In addition to the “Extant” role, Berry and her producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, have entered into a two-year, first look production deal with CBS Television Studios.
Malia attends the exclusive Sidwell Friends private school in Washington, DC, but classes let out earlier this month. She joined her parents on Friday in Rancho Mirage, where President Obama took in a round of golf, according to the Press Enterprise newspaper. The President was in Southern California to deliver the commencement address at the University of California Irvine on Saturday.
