My DMN article about the 'Lone Star' sneak

Here's the article about the sneak peek viewing of Fox's new Dallas-shot series Lone Star from today's Dallas Morning News.

A select audience at the Studios at Las Colinas in Irving got a sneak peek at Fox series Lone Star on Saturday. Nineteen Texas cities with Fox stations had events like this, with show creator Kyle Killen appearing in Austin.

The Dallas-area event featured show actors Eloise Mumford and Mark Deklin. I also got a very quick look at the set (that's Jon Voight's desk), which is still being constructed.

Look for report on the event in Monday's Dallas Morning News.

'Lonestar' to shoot at Las Colinas

Despite a late look at Austin (word is one or both of the showrunners is living there), Twentieth Century Fox Television reps confirmed the series Lonestar (formerly titled Midland) will shoot in North Texas, specifically at the Studios at Las Colinas, where The Deep End previously shot. More in my article in today's Dallas Morning News.

The cast includes: Bryce Johnson, Mark Deklin, Jon Voight, Adrianne Palicki, James Wolk, Eloise Mumford and David Keith

Still no word on the future of Chaos, the CBS series poised to film in North Texas this fall if a deal can be wrangled between the network and Twentieth Century Fox Television.

ABC moves "The Deep End" premiere up to January

Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. Central to be exact, an ABC rep revealed this evening. The Deep End finishes a six-episode shoot at the Studios at Las Colinas this week. If you didn't already read my report from this set as published in The Dallas Morning News, it's here.

It appears now that an additional episode order will be based on how the show does in the ratings in January.

Here's thr press release from ABC:

ABC ANNOUNCES THE PREMIERE OF “THE DEEP END,”
THURSDAY, JANUARY 21 AT 8:00 P.M., ET


ABC announces the series premiere of new drama “The Deep End,” which brings to life the tragedies and triumphs of five earnest twenty-something first-year associates fighting to stay afloat in one of Los Angeles’ top law firms, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

In a city where wealth and power rule, everyone strives to make it to the top. For five eager and attractive law associates, being accepted into one of Los Angeles’ most prestigious law firms is the first step on their way up. But as they soon realize, the law offices of Sterling are far more cutthroat than they could have ever imagined and they must fight for themselves and their clients to stay afloat in these shark infested waters. These young and impressionable associates are immediately thrown into cases and forced to deal with the emotional and ethical decisions that come with the job they’ve worked so hard for.

In the premiere episode, “Pilot,” Dylan (Matt Long, “Jack and Bobby”) is given an impossible pro bono custody case, Beth (Leah Pipes, “Sorority Row”) keeps mum when a 90-year-old man signs an agreement thinking that she’s his daughter, Liam (Ben Lawson, “Neighbours”) must get a client to sign with the firm under false pretenses, Addy (Tina Majorino, “Big Love”) finally gets some attention from her boss when she speaks her mind, and Malcolm (Mehcad Brooks, “True Blood”) gets off on the wrong foot when he’s hired outside of the firm’s traditional process.

While these five ambitious associates struggle to adjust their appetites and ideals to the fast-paced demands of their jobs, they’re faced with the warring partners at Sterling who hold the keys to their future, and a reluctant mentor, Rowdy (Norbert Leo Butz), who tries to guide them and the firm through the trenches. For Dylan, saving face with one partner in particular is much more difficult after he falls for the firm’s paralegal -- unbeknownst to him, she’s already in bed with firm partner Cliff Huddle (Billy Zane, “Titanic”), who is married to fellow partner Susan Oppenheim (Nicole Ari Parker) and fighting for the soul of the firm with its namesake, Hart Sterling (Clancy Brown, “Carnivale”).

“The Deep End” stars Matt Long as Dylan Hewitt, Billy Zane as Cliff Huddle, Clancy Brown as Hart Sterling, Norbert Leo Butz as Rowdy Kaiser, Leah Pipes as Beth Branford, Tina Majorino as Addy Fisher, Ben Lawson as Liam Priory, Nicole Ari Parker as Susan Oppenheim and Mehcad Brooks as Malcolm Bennet.

Guest starring are Rachelle LeFevre (“Twilight”) as Katie, Reggie Lee as Robert, Sarah Habel as Erin, Meredith Monroe as Molly, Maxwell Huckabee as Will, Abigail Marlowe as Lisa, William Schallert as Mr. Douglas, Timothy Omundson as Mr. Ollerman, Noa Tishby as Rachel, Richard Gant as Judge Cole and Kate Burton as Mrs. Graham.

“Pilot” was written by David Hemingson and directed by Michael Fresco.

The series executive producers are David Hemingson and Jan Nash. It is from Twentieth Century Fox Television.
