NEWS - Anteprima: "Arrow" 2 , non chiamatela fantascienza (semmai è un sequel)! 
La seconda stagione di “Arrow” (in anteprima assoluta su Premium Action dal 22 ottobre ogni martedì in prima serata in lingua originale con sottotitoli in italiano; su Italia 1 in prima tv free doppiata nelle strenne natalizie) non sarà all’insegna della fantascienza come la prima. Almeno a sentire il produttore esecutivo Marc Guggenheim: “non voglio che il pubblico pensi, guardandola, che si tratti di una serie scifi. Uniche concessioni saranno il rifugio-nascondiglio del protagonista Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), ancor più dark e ricco di trovate estetiche, nonché i gadget avveniristici, ben più moderni di quelli della passata stagione”. “I primi quattro episodi saranno sconvolgenti – anticipa Guggenheim – e faranno da antipasto al grande tema della stagione: qual è la linea che separa il protagonista dall’essere un vigilante da quella per diventare un eroe? In questo senso, la seconda stagione non è una continuazione di quella d’esordio…E’ un vero e proprio sequel!”.

NEWS - Coven Garden! Il giardino del terrore di "American Horror Story" apre i suoi cancelli con un nuovo trailer

Post di Matt Webb Mitovich su "Tv Line"
Double double, toil and trouble…..
American Horror Story:Coven will begin brewing on Wednesday, Oct. 9, it has been officially announced by FX.

Exec producer Tim Minear revealed earlier this month that Coven will have “a feminist theme” as well as cover ”race and oppression and family … along with laughs and scares and a few tears.”
On the aforementioned family front, Jessica Lange will play a literally witchy mom to Sarah Paulson. It’s also been revealed that Angela Bassett is playing Marie Laveau, a character loosely based on “a woman in the 1800s who was very influential in the city,” while Kathy Bates will channel infamous 1830s New Orleans socialite/serial killer Madame LaLaurie.

Also on board for Coven are returning Horror Story players Denis O’Hare, Lily Rabe, Frances Conroy, Alexandra Breckenridge, Evan Peters and Taissa Farmiga, as well as new blood Emma Roberts, Patti LuPone and Gabourey Sidibe.

Four haunting teasers for the new Horror Story chapter — including the new one, “Stakes” are posted below:

L'EDICOLA DI LOU - Stralci, cover e commenti sui telefilm dai media italiani e stranieri

HOLLYWOOD
E se "Orange is the New Black" fosse il nuovo "Lost"?
"Two episodes into Orange Is the New Black and you'll already start to entertain comparisons to another old favorite. Not Weeds, although Jenji Kohan's new exploit does remind us fondly of how great the Showtime dramedy was when it started off, but Lost. Yes, just like every other high concept hour-long program that has come out since 2010, The New Black has already earned prospective connotation as the new Lost.
And it's clear why — star Taylor Schilling finds herself stuck in an isolated, strange, nearly uninhabitable location, surrounded by a collection of odd strangers, many with whom she struggles to coexist, each of whom have their own stories. Starting in the second episode, these other stories begin to unfold. In the form of flashbacks.
Yes, although we spend most of our time with Schilling's white collar Piper Chapman, serving a 15-month sentence after running some drug money with an old girlfriend more than a decade back, we do get a few glimpses into the pasts of her friends and foes in the prison — learning, in many a case, why and how these women found themselves behind bars.
You know, just like Lost. If you replace "prison" with island," and "behind bars" with "aboard a plane from Sydney to L.A.," and "women" with "people." You get the idea.
Lost devotees will surely be hesitant to sign onto Orange as a Dharma Initiative substitute. After all, this is just a goofy class system satire about some rich lady who goes to jail, right? Where's the time travel? Where's the smoke monster? Where's the boat that may or may not belong to Penny?
They're all in there. Okay, not literally, but they might as well have not been literally in Lost either. Everything on the ABC drama served entirely as a catalyst for the central goal: get these people in the same place. Learn about them. Teach one another about them. Show them, and us, that the only thing of importance is the fact that they are together.
Unfortunately, not everybody saw it this way, which is what has rendered Lost a failure in certain eyes. "What about the answers?" people ask, unwilling to accept that the only answer the show ever meant to deliver is that we don't need, and can never know, all the answers. We just need each other.
And that seems to be what Orange is up to as well. It's got its share of smoke monsters and polar bears: manipulative guards, doorless bathroom stalls, inedible food (don't tell Red I said that!). All ghosts that haunt the island of Litchfield, while the varied Flight 815 passengers — and Others! — are just trying to survive until their 108 days are up. But along the way, we have a feeling that these women will come to abide by that age old Shephardian maxim: live together, die alone".

NEWS - Summer everywhere! Glau nel cast della seconda stagione di “Arrow”
Nel serial-mercato estivo, interessante vetrina di acquisti almeno quanto quella calcistica, irrompe il nome di Summer Glau, neo-annunciata per la seconda stagione di “Arrow”. Tra le attrici-feticcio di Joss Whedon che l’ha voluta in “Angel”, “Firefly”, “Serenity” e “Dollhouse”, Glau interpreterà la dark-lady Isabel Rochev, a capo di un’organizzazione che vuol mettere i bastoni tra le frecce di Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell). La seconda stagione di “Arrow” debutterà in America il 9 ottobre, successivamente su Premium Action. Sempre sul finire del 2013, Summer è attesa altresì sui teleschermi americani nell’adattamento televisivo del fumetto cult “Peter Panzerfaust”, storia di un gruppo di ribelli versus l’occupazione nazista nel corso della Seconda Guerra Mondiale.

L'EDICOLA DI LOU - Stralci, cover e commenti sui telefilm dai media italiani e stranieri

VULTURE
Gli Emmy Awards hanno già decretato un vincitore: Netflix
"Showbiz bible Variety led its first take on today's Emmy nominations with the fact that Netflix had scored a historic breakthrough, and this is as it should be. This is a milestone, one that will almost certainly be cited by historians when chronicling the collapse of linear television about, oh, seven years from now. By ignoring how House of Cards and Arrested Development and Hemlock Grove got to viewers, and instead focusing on the content of those three sMad Men); the Best Comedy nod for Louie (the first time a basic cable network has squeezed into this category); and the inclusion of Yahoo and Funny or Die in a short-form category, which also includes the Super Bowl halftime show and Adult Swim's Childrens Hospital. "What this shows is that disruption can come from anywhere in our business," Sundance Channel chief Sarah Barnett told Vulture. "It can come from the nature of the platform or from a small network you wouldn't have expected to be a contender. In the end, great content wins out."
hows, Emmy voters demonstrated, and admirably so, that they're platform agnostic. Academy members proved this with other nominations as well: the ten nods dished out to Sundance Channel (a network even more obscure than its sister station AMC, pre–
Barnett is right, of course: Today's nominations are a nice demonstration of progressiveness from a voting bloc that, just a decade ago, somehow failed to award a single nomination to The Wire, a series considered by many to be TV's greatest ever. And yet, look more closely at most of the "breakthrough" nominations revealed today, and something else quickly becomes clear: Emmy voters may be okay with alternative distribution methods, but they're still very much in love with Big Names. Star power remains Emmy's everything.
It takes nothing away from Netflix or House of Cards to point out that its biggest nominations were for people who have been nominated  for (or have won) Oscars and Golden Globes: Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright, and David Fincher. Sure, it's historic that their nominations were for a show which didn't air on a "network," but it is otherwise not at all surprising that these very well-known talents woke up to good news this morning. It is equally not a shock that the lesser-known actor Corey Stoll, who delivered House of Cards's most unexpected and searing performance, was overlooked. But Emmy's obsession with well-known names played out in other arenas as well:
• Sundance's Top of the Lake is certainly deserving of the Emmy love it got, but so was the network's Rectify, which got almost identical critical acclaim. The difference between the two: One starred Emmy vet Elisabeth Moss and was co-written by Oscar winner Jane Campion, and the other hailed from relative unknowns. (The good news for Barnett: Rectify will make it on many critics' year-end lists of best shows, and the fact that it's even being discussed as a "snub" is victory of itself, given how relatively small Sundance is.)
• Tatiana Maslany, star of BBC America's Orphan Black, had the backing of every single person on Twitter and countless critics. Anyone who's stunned that the Canadian actress didn't get a nominated today hasn't been paying attention to Emmys.
• Those nominations for Yahoo and Funny or Die in the short-form programming category sound less impressive when you see who's attached to them: Ben Stiller (for Burning Love) and Zach Galifianakis (Behind Two Ferns). The nonfiction counterpart of the same category is equally dominated by stars, including Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno.
• Comedy Central has had a great year reinventing sketch comedy with shows such as Key & Peele, Inside Amy Schumer, and Nathan For You. Did any of them displace long-in-the-tooth veterans Stewart, Colbert, Maher, or SNL in the variety categories? Of course not, because none of the people on those shows is currently a star. (Portlandia is nominated, but it co-stars SNL veteran Fred Armisen and is executive produced by Lorne Michaels.)
• Political Animals scored five nominations, and for those of us who really liked the show's soapy shenanigans, that's nice. But let's not pretend that the presence of Hollywood icons Sigourney Weaver and Ellyn Burstyn didn't make all the difference. While it helped that the miniseries category is less crowded than drama, there are lots of talented actors on Scandal who didn't get nominated because, unlike the amazing Kerry Washington (who deservedly did get recognized), those actors just aren't very well-known.
This year's Emmy star fetish is nothing new, but, to the Academy's credit, neither is it absolute. Academy members absolutely do step up to reward performers and writers who are unknown; Mad Men alone is proof of how unknown actors and first-time showrunners can become overnight Emmy sensations. Glee and Modern Family also broke through instantly, and last year, some dude named Max Greenfield was nominated for comedy acting in New Girl (sadly, he was overlooked today). But here's a troubling thought (and it's just a thought, not a prediction): With so many more outlets now doing really good TV, and with Netflix opening the doors to even more platforms for good content, what if it becomes harder than ever for amazing TV performances to tally enough votes to get nominated? "It's such a cluttered marketplace," one Hollywood insider notes. "What really cuts through in terms of the Academy, what gives you a leg up is if your talent has some sort of profile or recognition. It's naive to think otherwise."
There's nothing wrong with big stars or high-profile writers racking up nominations, of course — particularly when the finished product is as good as Top of the Lake or House of Cards. And networks such as FX and Sundance and Comedy Central will continue to make highly watchable, groundbreaking shows, and those networks will continue to thrive, whether their wares get Emmy's blessing or not. What's more, it's important to remember that often it just takes time for Emmy voters to come around to a show or an actor. Be bummed, as we are, about the shut-out of The Americans or the criminal neglect of Tatiana Maslany, but then remember this: While Louis C.K. got nominated the first year he was eligible, Louie was kept out of the Best Comedy category for three years. Today, as writer Noah Hawley tweeted, Louis C.K. snagged seven total Emmy nominations for an "existential comedic experiment. Moral: You thought there were rules? There [are] no rules." Well, except maybe one: It's still a whole lot easier to get an Emmy nomination if everybody already knows your name".
