'Chuck' producer lands Western at Fox

Rosenbaum aims to introduce genre to a new generation

Fox has roped in a Western drama from "Chuck" executive producer Scott
Rosenbaum.

The untitled project, from Warner Bros. TV and McG's studio-based Wonderland Sound and Vision, has landed a script commitment with a significant penalty.

Described as an epic Western with a sci-fi twist, the show will revolve around "a gunslinger caught between worlds" and will feature a nod to "Planet of the Apes," said Rosenbaum, who is executive producing with Wonderland's McG and Peter Johnson.

"What I'm really interested in is the revamping of the Western genre where you still have all of the iconic Western themes and iconic Western tropes but the idea is that it will feel incredibly contemporary and will introduce the Western to a whole new generation," Rosenbaum said.

Rosenbaum, who was under a blind script deal at WBTV, had been seeking to do a Western with sci-fi elements for years. He mentioned the idea in a passing conversation with Johnson, who also is an exec producer on "Chuck."

Johnson, in turn, had just met with Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly and exec vp Matt Cherniss, who had told him that they were looking to do a revamped Western this development season.

Rosenbaum had worked with Reilly and Cherniss at FX, where they were entertainment president and senior vp, respectively, and he was an exec producer on "The Shield." He pitched his idea to them, and the project was quickly set up at network.

Wonderland has strong ties with Fox, where the company landed its first series, "Fastlane" and "The O.C."

Wonderland is behind the network's new drama "Human Target," which joins the company's returning series "Chuck" and "Supernatural."

Rosenbaum is repped by UTA and attorney Michael Gendler.

Cet autre article fait référence à "Firefly" comme modèle, mais on ignore encore si la nouvelle série s'en rapprochera.

‘Chuck’ Producer Venturing Into Sci-Fi Western

So it worked once and it developed a devoted following, despite how Fox treated it, so it looks like Fox is trying it again.

Scott Rosenbaum (Producer: Chuck, The Shield) is stepping outside the boundaries he’s made for himself with NBC’s Chuck and is taking a stab at a yet-to-be-named western with a science fiction twist.



Rosenbaum will be producing the show with Warner Bros. TV and Wonderland Sound and Vision studios (McG’s company), the latter of which has a fairly decent list of shows to their credits.  That’s if you count Chuck, Human Target and Supernatural as decent shows. They also produce The OC, but I couldn’t put that in the same sentence with the phrase “decent shows.” Just ain’t our cup of tea here at Screen Rant.

I said sadly, because as much as I am loyal to the memory of Joss Whedon’s Firefly (a great sci-fi/western TV show), I am going to be giving Rosenbaum’s show a look-see once it gets going.

At the moment, we have no other details on the show.  I hope they best tread very carefully on ground already trodden, because you know for a fact that the fan base of Joss Whedon and other editorial entertainment writers will be comparing it to Firefly.  Not that Firefly has the sole market on sci-fi westerns, but it’s the most popular template for comparison.

Apétissant comme consolation

Scott Rosenbaum, producteur et scénariste (il a écrit le 3x09 que réalise Zach Levi) de "Chuck", devient le patron du remake de la série "V" (la vieille daube avec des aliens reptiliens et des acteurs de soap-opera), à la place de Scott Peters.

'Chuck' This Out: 'V' Gets a New Leader

ABC's "V" is getting "Chuck"-ed.

The red-hot alien drama, which premieres tonight following glowing reviews, has nonetheless made a change at the top. Original showrunner Scott Peters has been replaced by "Chuck" alum Scott Rosenbaum, ABC confirmed Tuesday.

Peters will retain an executive producer credit on "V." But Rosenbaum, an executive producer on "Chuck" (and "The Shield"), will now be at the helm.

The showrunner shift had been anticipated in Hollywood circles for weeks, since ABC and Warner Bros. TV made the joint decision to halt production on the series in order to get scripts in shape. According to USA Today, which broke the news of the shuffle, Peters was removed from his post last Thursday.

"V" begins a four-episode run tonight at 8. It's scheduled to return in March for the remainder of its first season.

La nouvelle série débute aujourd'hui.

Rosenbaum écrira-t-il encore pour "Chuck" ? Mystère...

Ali semble avoir plus qu'instrumentale dans le venue de la petite Bailey sur le tournage :

LittleChuckFan Getting ready to leave. Thank you for everything @AliAdler. Please tell Yvonne Thank You for me. Meeting her was a dream come true. XXOO

Et en plus elle sert d'intermédiaire entre elle et Yvonne !

D'après un tweet qu'elle vient d'envoyer, Ali Adler devait venir en France, mais la fameuse éruption scandinave vient de temporairement l'en empêcher !

Trip to Paris dashed today. Small consolation that #Chuck and sarah made it. I am the victim of a volcanic ash-hole.

Personne pour lui proposer une visite guidée quand elle réussira à venir ?
