FUTURE FOX

You’ll soon come to appreciate her on 24 as the FBI’s “Janis Gold,” but you know her in the real world as Janeane Garofalo. And now you can also call her Guest Radio DJ.

Janeane picks out and discusses five songs that have inspired her on KCRW.

What music inspired her to lapse into the techie talk we’ve gotten used to hearing from Chloe? We’ll have to tune in on Saturday to find out if she made any musical 24 connections. Chloe and Janis would have listened to the podcast instead, which you can also find online.

And while you’re on the KCRW site, check out Virtuality director Peter Berg’s guest DJ set as well.

Our hard-working cast and crews are busy today. Here’s just a mere sampling of what is going on Tuesday, August 5th in the FOX world:

• Joss Whedon is directing Dollhouse on location in a hangar.
• The Virtuality first episode is humming along. Right now, they’re in an “airlock” set.
• Practically the entire cast of Prison Break is in scenes today.
• 24 is filming in the White House set.
• Terminator is on location at a house standing in for the Connors’.
• Do Not Disturb is taping on the lot.
• Sit Down, Shut Up has a table read with its very funny cast.

We’re churning out quality television for you lovely people!

This blog post’s headline really captures the spirit:
Kevin Reilly promises a gayer, blacker FOX

“In fact, we’re in production on a pilot right now, Virtuality, that Ron Moore and Michael Taylor created. Pete Berg is directing it. And it’s got a gay relationship that is as dimensional and as honest as anything I’ve ever seen portrayed on television.”

“Virtuality” additions:
Clea DuVall is the Phaeton’s co-pilot and engineer.
Erik Jensen is the Phaeton’s navigator.
Jose Pablo Cantillo is a mathematician.

“Inseparable” additions:
Malik Yoba is a detective who works with Justin Lambreaux (Lloyd Owen) and is oblivious to his double life.
Warren Kole is a young detective eager to move up.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau didn’t seem to hold a grudge against us when we decided not to renew “New Amsterdam.”

He agreed to star in “Virtuality” as mission commander Frank Pike, described as a “born leader” (not “reborn” leader).

More actors have been cast in Ronald Moore’s Virtuality:
Joy Bryant is “Alice Thibadeau”
Nelson Lee is “Kenji Yamaguchi”
Sienna Guillory is “Rika Goddard”
Omar Metwally is “Dr. Eyal Meyer”
Richie Coster is “Jimmy Johnson”

We created this site to keep you apprised of series in development as well as changes to returning ones. In doing so, we like to check out what’s being said in the blogosphere about our shows.

As you’ve noticed, we will link to things. This doesn’t automatically mean that what we’re linking to is directly affiliated with Fox productions, or paid for by Fox, or owned and operated by Fox. We might be linking to it because it’s what you all are talking about. Users may jump to conclusions on boards and forums and in comment boxes that we’re behind EVERYTHING. (We get that it feels that way.) Sometimes these viral wild goose chases and secret websites are actually fan-creations and we aren•t involved at all.

But sometimes we might be.

Despite who the evil mastermind really is, hopefully you•re having fun and getting psyched for good television.

Anyhoo, on a technical sidenote: We’ve been working on the site’s comments problems. We’re waiting for American Idol revenue to kick in so that we can pay our interwebs bill to fix it. Kidding! We don’t make any money from Idol.

James D’Arcy has been cast in Ronald Moore’s Virtuality, which is set aboard the Phaeton, Earth’s first starship, on a 10-year journey to explore a distant solar system. To help the crew endure the long trip, NASA equips the ship with advanced virtual reality modules, allowing them to assume adventurous identities and go anyplace they want. D’Arcy plays the ship’s psych officer, who produces the virtual reality shows.

Peter Berg will direct the pilot.

No stranger to the BSG writers’ verse, D’Arcy starred in David Eick’s pilot “Them.”

We’re not claiming to know what this company is. Nor do we know this man.

Although, some of these people seem to have an idea.

Ronald D. Moore has a two-hour pilot for us called “Virtuality” that he wrote with Michael Taylor.

It’s set aboard the Phaeton, Earth’s first starship, on a 10-year journey to explore a distant solar system. To help the 12 crew members endure the long trip and keep their minds occupied, NASA equipped the ship with advanced virtual reality modules, allowing them to assume adventurous identities and go to any place they want. The plan works until a mysterious “bug” is found in the system.

Also, BSG star Tricia Helfer has inked a one-year talent holding deal with us, which means she could star in a FOX series soon.
