CORRIERE DELLA SERA
"The Originals", un agitarsi furioso senza idee
"La televisione è fatta di alti e bassi, di titoli di punta e grandi successi e di una programmazione minore, che serve più che altro a riempire tutti i molti spazi che rimangono liberi. Vale per l'Italia, e questo lo sappiamo bene. E vale per la blasonata tv statunitense: qui, concentrandoci sempre sulle serie più viste, più amate o più vicine all'ideale di «qualità», lasciamo spesso sullo sfondo i prodotti meno ambiziosi. È il caso di un titolo come The Originals, trasmesso negli Stati Uniti dal «network per giovani» The CW e in Italia dal canale femminile Mya (Mediaset Premium, domenica e giovedì, ore 21.15). La serie è uno spin-off di The Vampire Diaries , è giunta alla seconda stagione ed è già confermata per una terza. I tre fratelli Mikaelson, Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Elijah (Daniel Gillies) e Rebekah (Claire Holt, che però sparisce presto nella seconda stagione), sono vampiri originali, già presenti nella serie-madre, che si spostano a New Orleans e cercano di riconquistare il quartiere francese, da cui erano stati cacciati tempo prima e che ora è al centro di una guerra costante tra fazioni per ottenerne il controllo. Impossibile ricostruire in dettaglio la trama, che su questo canovaccio, il ritorno e la conquista, innesta un complesso intrico di relazioni tra vampiri, lupi mannari e streghe, di doppi giochi incrociati, di quiete prima della tempesta e scontri improvvisi.
La serie, creata da Julie Plec, sfodera tutto l'armamentario fantasy - ipnosi, incantesimi, sangue, paletti, anelli, pozioni, persino risurrezioni - e occhieggia in modo evidente a recenti fenomeni di romanzi e film young adult, come Twilight o Hunger Games : impossibile trovare un mostro che non sia anche di bell'aspetto. Nomi e categorie si accumulano a ogni puntata, i piani temporali si confondono, l'agire è sempre determinante: ma l'impressione è che si tratti di molto rumore per nulla, di un agitarsi furioso che copre il vuoto di idee".

Joseph Morgan in a tux? Yes, please!
The 33-year-old British actor couldn’t look any more handsome in these new JustJared.com exclusive portrait session photos.
Joseph currently stars in The Originals as the hottie vampire-werewolf hybrid Klaus. In our exclusive interview with Joseph, he chats about married life to his new wife Persia White, his New Year’s resolutions, and of course, The Originals!
The Originals returned January 19 at 8pm EST on The CW. It’s the first episode back from the winter hiatus so be sure to tune in! Klaus is currently preoccupied with protecting his baby daughter Hope from Dahlia’s curse. He’s also hellbent on keeping Cami (Leah Pipes) safe from his vengeful brother Finn (Yusuf Gatewood), while Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) and Jackson (Nathan Parsons) devise a plan to bring the vampires and werewolves together to consider a truce.

Joseph Morgan Interview – JustJared.com Exclusive
Just Jared: What is the potential for another crossover between The Originals and The Vampire Diaries?Joseph Morgan: It’s an interesting question, because we’ve done two so far. With Tyler coming over seeking revenge and we did one with Tatia, which was Nina [Dobrev] coming. There’s a lot of people wanting to see Caroline crossing over to New Orleans to visit Klaus, because of that sort of unresolved romance that happened back in Vampire Diaries.
I’m sure they will use another crossover because why wouldn’t they? It’s a wonderful opportunity. It might be nice to see another character that I don’t have a history with. I like Michael Malarkey, who plays Enzo on Vampire Diaries. I’d love him to cross over just ’cause I’d get to spend more time with him then, he’s a good bloke.
JJ: Was your first audition for Harry Potter? Could you rewind us back to those days?
JM: (smiles) Yeah! I was just in drama school and I just signed with my agent in the UK. I was 21, and I heard about them making the Chamber of Secrets, which was the second film. There was this part, Tom Riddle, and this woman called me, who was interested in being my agent. It came through on an anonymous number, and I thought it was one of my friends pretending like, “Hello, is Joseph there please? Yes, I have an audition for him.”
So I read the book, watched the first Harry Potter film, bought a Harry Potter poster and put it on my wall. I absorbed it all as much as I could. Then I went in and I got a call back but I didn’t end up getting it. It sort of set the standard for me. Like, I knew I should be doing film and television.
We’d all seen Orlando Bloom get Lord of the Rings, and shoot for stardom. So I got this audition and I was like see ya later guys! I’m off on my rocket ship to stardom.
JJ: What are the last three things you charged on your credit card?
JM: My room in Los Angeles, (laughs), where I’m staying, probably my room service, and a dog we just fostered. A new pet, a little terrier…which we call Kingston. I say fostered, he was, but now we’ve adopted him. They think he’s two-years-old, but they don’t know. They found him kind of just wandering in LA, so I’m not sure his age. We named him Kingston because we love Jamaica, and you know, we got married in Jamaica.
JJ: You found him in LA, so you’re bringing him back with you guys?
JM: Yeah. We’ve only had him about five days. He’s on best behavior at the moment.
JJ: What are the next two things that you want to check off your bucket list?
JM: Skydiving! I’ve always wanted to do that. Although, I’m a little timid about heights, but I suppose at that height, it doesn’t matter. I’m not frightened to look out the window of the plane, but I think the actual jumping moment. I heard sometimes they push you out the plane, so maybe I’ll need that, like I’ll need to be pushed out.
I do play guitar a bit, but I’m trying to learn to be really good at the time. My wife got me an electric guitar for Christmas. I’ve brought an acoustic to work, so I’m going to annoy everyone at work by playing really loudly. And hopefully eventually I’ll get good! I’m like a campfire guitarist. I learned in the 90s, so I can play all the 90s indie tunes. Like Oasis, and Blur, and all these bands. I need to update my guitar playing. I’m trying to learn serious stuff like scales and modes.
JJ: Do you teach yourself with YouTube videos?
JM: Exactly that. Yeah.
JJ: What are you singing in the shower nowadays?
JM: I sing a bit of Mumford and Sons. I like to sing like Tom Waits and do all the kind of voices and stuff. Mostly dark stuff. I sing a lot in the car. I’ve got this long drive to work — like forty five minutes. So I do a lot of testing!
JJ: Any New Year’s resolutions?
JM: Exercise more. ‘Cause you never know when the shirtless scenes are coming. (laughs) They’re coming soon, I haven’t been for a while. And the guitar thing, that’s definitely a resolution. And I’m trying to do more writing now, just trying to kind of use my time better each year, be more productive.
JJ: What app do you use on your phone the most?
JM: Aside from Twitter, which I used to use more than I do now. It’s only because I work so much now that I forget about it for a minute. But I used to be religious about it. I use Audible, I like they’re books on tape. And I’m like the last person to discover Uber. I’m telling people how great Uber is and they’re like, “Where have you been for the last like, four years?” But yeah, Uber is my new best friend.
JJ: How did you make your first dollar?
JM: Working in a fruit and veg store, in Swansea Market, which is where I grew up, in Swansea, Wales. My dad got me the job, he used to go and get our fruit and veg from there and I got paid, I think 2 pounds, fifty an hour. And I basically had to lug potato sacks around and apples, and then arrange all the fruit in the store so it looked nice. That lasted about five weeks, so I must’ve made, I made twelve pounds, fifty each time, ’cause I worked for five hours. And I used all of that money to buy a keyboard from my brother, which I probably could’ve used anyway because he was my brother and it was in our house. But I wanted it to be mine and in my bedroom, so I bought it from him. And then never used it, so that was a waste of time. (laughs)
JJ: What’s the most meaningful tattoo that you have?
JM: I really like this one of the birds. But I suppose for the purpose of this question, I have a triangle on my back. I have two best friends who I’ve had since I was sixteen, and we grew up together, and we used to always refer to our friendship when we were teenagers, as the triangle. One of those guys is a good friend of mine, Leon Davis, in Wales, and the other one is Matt Ryan, who is Constantine. If you’ve seen the show Constantine, you’ll see he has the same tattoo on the other shoulder. And my mate Leon has it in the middle of his back, and I have it there. We got them together a couple of years ago in London.
JJ: You recently got married. What’s married life like? Are you still in the honeymoon period?
JM: Yeah, we’re still newlyweds ’cause you’re newlyweds for the first year I’m told. It’s terrific. We lived together before we were married, so it’s not different in that sense but it’s very different calling her my wife. And that’s still a big thrill for me.
I never really thought I would be married. Not that I was against it, my parents were married all the way up until my dad died, but I think I’ve always felt like that was something that more straight laced people do. But then I met Persia and she’s wild, interesting, passionate, fiery, and amazing. So I thought, “Alright, if it’s with her, that’s alright. I could do that.” ‘Cause it’s still kind of this, eye of the hurricane thing, which is amazing.

“Orange Is The New Black”, che MYA programma dal 23 settembre in anteprima con prima e seconda stagione una dopo
l’altra, è la serie-fenomeno della nuova stagione tv. Si tratta di uno dei titoli seriali di cui la stampa americana
si è occupata maggiormente nell’ultimo periodo – sia per i temi affrontati
che per l’alta qualità di messa in scena – non da ultima la recente copertina
del prestigioso “Entertainment Weekly”
che lo ha definito letteralmente “strangest, kinkiest and most surprising hit
on tv”. “La serie indaga sull’auto-distruzione e sulla
brutalità che si annida anche nell’animo
femminile – ha dichiarato l’ideatrice Jenji Kohan – la prigione è solo un megafono di questo
aspetto”. Tra i premi si contano i 4
recenti Emmy Awards (tra cui Uzo Aduba per il personaggio Crazy Eyes), il
Television Critics Awards (“miglior nuova serie della stagione”), 3 Critics
Choice Awards (“miglior comedy dell’anno”, premiate Kate Mulgrew e Uzo Aduba),
un People’s Choice Award, un Peabody Award e il GLAAD Award, il riconoscimento
più ambito assegnato dalla comunità gay.giovedì 8 maggio 2014
Katie Cassidy di “Arrow” (2° stagione inedita su Premium
Action/Italia 1) e Claire Holt di
“The Originals” (in prima tv su Mya ogni domenica) si sono contese la
copertina dell’ultimo numero del periodico “Glamoholic”, lasciando ai lettori
la possibilità di scelta in edicola. Se Cassidy ha svelato che per lei essere
nel cast di “Arrow” “è un onore, mi riempie la vita come mai in
passato grazie a un team autoriale e artistico di prima grandezza”, Holt ha
ringraziato la produzione di “The
Originals” “per la possibilità di
interpretare un personaggio che nel corso delle diverse epoche le permette di
svariare diverse su diverse sfumature di recitazione”. mercoledì 5 febbraio 2014
Se è vera la tesi che la serie televisive siano diventate uno specchio fedele della realtà, se non addirittura nuova letteratura che rilegge classici e capaci di anticipare il futuro, dando una scorsa ai titoli seriali del 2014 di Mediaset Premium non ci sono più dubbi. L’offerta delle tv digitali a pagamento di Mediaset è quanto mai varia e appetitosa di temi e spunti ancorati alla realtà anche quando si tratta di grandi classici o ci si proietta in racconti ai confini della realtà.
“DRACULA”, che MYA programma dal 15 marzo
in anteprima assoluta. Il cult di Bram Stoker, firmato dalla stessa produzione
di “Downton Abbey”, assume un taglio
inedito nonostante le molteplici riletture divise tra grande e piccolo
schermo. L’ultima in ordine temporale vede Jonathan
Rhys Meyers nei panni di Vlad Tepes che, fingendosi un imprenditore
americano, si reca nella Londra vittoriana per introdurre la scienza moderna.
La conoscenza della bella Mina Murray (Jessica
De Gouw), apparente reincarnazione della defunta moglie Ilona, sconvolgerà
i suoi piani. L’aspetto new-romantic
e di amor fou prende il sopravvento
su una trama che nella consuetudine ha calcato la mano (e i canini) sul tema
vampiresco, qui inserendo oltremodo il concetto del demone interiore – Dracula,
per l’appunto – che alberga dentro l’animo di un protagonista con la sete, più
che di sangue, di vendetta.
“MOM”, in scaletta su JOI dal 28 marzo in prima tv. Anna Faris, regina delle parodie americane al cinema, debutta in una sit-com su misura confezionata
da Chuck Lorre, ideatore dell’ipercult
“The Big Bang Theory” (altro titolo fiore
all’occhiello di JOI). La
protagonista, Christy, è una madre single di due figli con un passato di abusi
di alcol e droghe che tenta di rifarsi una vita come cameriera. Vista la crisi
economica, la nostra si vede costretta, per dividere le spese, a ospitare la
madre Bonnie (Allison Janney),
anch’essa con un passato turbolento. Le risate in sottofondo sono ispirate da
una scrittura a tratti cinica che sfocia nello sferzante all’interno di un
microcosmo familiare non del tutto anomalo ai giorni nostri.
Il
futuro immaginato da J.J. Abrams nel
nuovo “ALMOST HUMAN” (in partenza su
PREMIUM ACTION dal 1 marzo) è in
qualche modo alle porte di una società che cambia. Nel 2048 la scienza ha
permesso di affiancare ai poliziotti di Los Angeles una serie di androidi del
tutto simili agli esseri umani. John Kennex (Karl Urban), detective del dipartimento che si è appena risvegliato
dal coma dopo un attentato, si ritrova a pattugliare la città con il collega androide
Dorian (Michael Ealy), dalle
inaspettate reazioni emotive. Secondo più di un critico, il fatto che il
protagonista-robot sia di colore – in piena presidenza Obama – rappresenta una
sorta di tacito manifesto dell’integrazione contro il razzismo della diversità.
Se Abrams firma la produzione, l’ideazione appartiene a J.H. Wyman, già esperto di “scienza di confine” in “Fringe”. giovedì 31 ottobre 2013

Articolo tratto da Tv Guide
The fall TV season is taking shape. Networks have ordered dozens of new pilots starring familiar faces like Lost's Josh Holloway, Andy Samberg, The Office's Ellie Kemper and Malin Akerman (Watchmen), and from proven producers like J.J. Abrams, Arrow's Greg Berlanti, David Shore (House) and Joss Whedon.
To keep track of who's doing what, read our complete list of all the series projects in contention — there are nearly 100! — and check back for updates on their status. Here are The CW's pilots: (Click here for ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC.)
