Charlie Sheen's 'Anger Management' sells to Foreign exchange

SheenCharlie Sheen's new syndie sitcom "Anger Management" finds a home at Foreign exchange. Cabler has bought 10 episodes and, per the syndie deal with Lionsgate-possessed distrib Debmar-Mercury, yet another 90 episodes will probably be broadcast by Foreign exchange only if the show hits numerous initial high-ratings thresholds. Debmar-Mercury features a similar deal with Tyler Perry's comedies that air around the best spinner's. Production will begin early next season, getting a summer season launch scheduled. Sheen, who's already a fixture within the cabler in "Males" reruns, will topline the skein that's good 2003 bigscreen Adam Sandler-Jack Nicholson comedy. Lionsgate will produce, with Bruce Helford becoming showrunner. He'll professional produce with Sheen and Joe Roth. The project was strongly pitched on an outing a few days ago to numerous broadcast and cable nets, including USA Network, Comedy Central and TV Land. While Foreign exchange makes its mark with original laffers -- "It Definitely Is Sunny in Philadelphia," "Louie," "Wilfred" and "The League" -- internet has seen a massive increase in its primary point here because of its recent syndie purchases, as well as the cabler feels it might get keep that momentum ongoing with "Anger Management." Sheen's recognition is difficult to gauge at this time around. He starred in "Males" for eight seasons on CBS the comedy was for quite some time most likely probably the most seen on television. However, after his public meltdown that introduced to his dismissal within the show taken, "two and a half Males" has stormed back with strong ratings with Ashton Kutcher as Sheen's alternative. Carrying out a "Males" brouhaha, Sheen ongoing a public standup tour that left many fans feeling unhappy. Deal gives Sheen a stake inside the show, therefore it is now clearly inside the actor's welfare to stay sober. Each side have out clauses which get into effect should Sheen become medically unable to accomplish the 100 episodes. On Sheen's good status for instability and what this signifies for the show's future, one source mentioned: "It's fair to convey that everyone which has something devoted to this show has their eyes available.Inch The very first 10 episodes will run just like a weekly series next summer season, as well as the show can change with a mostly daily pattern -- from early 2013 through September 2014 -- if Foreign exchange builds up the additional 90 episodes. Cabler thinks about the problem about pairing "Anger Management" with both "two and a half Males" and "Generate An Earnings Met Your Mother." "Males" remains a effective resource for Foreign exchange, presently calculating 700,000 audiences an instalment. No pilot has yet been shot, nor features a cast been selected. Around Sheen might be the show's drawing card, Foreign exchange prexy John Landgraf and also the professional team are depending round the creating capabilities of Helford to keep the show around the right course. Helford can be a veteran comedy producer and knows how you can balance both production agendas and disparate personas. Formerly, about about 10 years ago, he was Chuck Lorre-just like juggling three series round the air: "George Lopez," "Nikki" and "The Came Carey Show."

Robert Spencer/Getty Images CBS continues to be prosecuted with a celebrity digital photographer who claims the network's The Insider and also the Early Show featured without license his images of Reille Hunter, the mistress offormer presidential candidate John Edwards, and her child.our editor recommendsJohn Edwards' Daughter, Cate Edwards, Married to Dr. Trevor Upham John Edwards film may unearth new particulars on scandalJohn Edwards Indicted on Campaign FraudAaron Sorkin to direct John Edwards project Alan Zanger, a paparazzo recognized for his stakeout capabilities, filed the copyright violation claim in NY federal court on Friday. Based on his complaint, Zanger struck a unique certification offer October 2008 using the NY Publish to write photos of Hunter and Edwards' love child. Following the photo was released, Zanger started getting in touch with other media to gauge curiosity about further certification of his assortment of Hunter photographs. One of the shops stated to possess taken a license were Inside Edition and US Weekly. He states the Insider expressed some initial interest, so he shipped a couple of his photos for evaluation reasons. There allegedly wasn't any immediate communication next, and CBS is stated to possess gone ahead with exhibiting the photos on its shows. Zanger states the alleged copyright violation triggered him harm. "These photographs and also the event produced great publicity and it is of curiosity towards the public in particular,Inch states Zanger's complaint. "Complaintant has zealously and deliberately licensed his Reille Hunter with Baby Collection to numerous news shops to ensure that Complaintant and the licensees can increase the public distribution of complaintant's Reille Hunter with Baby Collection..." News that Edwards was getting an affair was initially revealed through the National Enquirer in 2007 and interest gradually began to construct, destroying the first kind senator's status. He's scheduled to manage a jury trial the coming year for implementing political donations to cover his affair.

'Harry Potter' DVDs Disapparating From Store Shelves After Christmas

The Boy Who Lived won't be living on store shelves for much longer. It's hard to deny that there's a big market for the "Harry Potter" film franchise. The final film, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," went on to gross $380.5 million domestic and $1.3 billion worldwide, making it the highest grossing "Potter" movie to date. But less than a month and a half after "Part 2" hits DVD and Blu-Ray on November 11, Warner Bros is going to put all the "Potter" films on moratorium until an unannounced future date. Can we be the first blog to dub this the "Gringotts Vault" after Walt Disney's "Disney Vault"? All eight "Potter" films are going to be pulled off store shelves on December 29, including the eight-film collectors edition boxed set. Stores won't be able to reorder any more copies after that until WB decides to release a new edition of the film. So make sure you put the "Harry Potter" films on your Christmas list if you want them because they're going to be pretty hard to come by after that. Disney fans should be familiar with this sales move, as it's the main way Disney distributes their animated films. Movies like "Beauty and the Beast," "The Lion King" and "Aladdin" are locked away in the Disney vault for several years until the studio decides to release a new, updated version of the movie often with better animation, new special features and a more expensive price tag. This move by Warner Bros seems to be an attempt to maintain interest in the film series. It's also a guarantee that a new, better version of the films with new special features and added bonuses will likely hit Blu-Ray and DVD within the next few years, so that might influence whether you decide to buy that deluxe boxed set now or wait until the better one comes out down the road. What do you think of Warner Bros' decision to stop production on the "Potter" films? Tell us in the comments section below or on Twitter!

Is Attack the Block Getting an Awards Season Campaign?

Awards screeners have yet to really start coming in (a few have already been sent out, including Sony Pictures Classics’ Take Shelter, The Guard, and Higher Ground, and Summit’s A Better Life), but this week’s arrival of Attack the Block DVD screeners is a surprise entry to the season. The Sony/Screen Gems-released sci-fi pic was sent out to members of the L.A. Film Critics Association this week, although it’s unclear how much of a campaign the studio plans, if any. Does the British kid-oriented genre film have a shot at awards season, anyway? Last month at Awards Daily, Oscar pundit Sasha Stone entertained the idea of Attack the Block having Oscar potential, even if it’s a long, loooong, longshot given its modest box office returns and Academy-alienating genre trappings. Where it could conceivably pick up steam, however, is with critic groups like LAFCA, who in previous years embraced studio-released genre pics like Black Swan, Inception, District 9, and Pan’s Labyrinth, though each of those honorees enjoyed a great deal more mainstream attention and acclaim. The critically-embraced Attack the Block seems an appropriate contender for LAFCA’s New Generation Award, as it’s Joe Cornish’s feature debut. Even its techno-flavored score, contributed by Basement Jaxx, could contend in the Best Music category. And there are always critics groups’ Top 10 lists, which couldn’t hurt this relatively small film’s chances of picking up steam, even in home video release. (The DVD and Blu-ray hit shelves October 25.) Technically, the Attack the Block screeners arrived without the usual “For your consideration…” verbiage, making the intent even more vague. Earlier this year, Attack the Block took home the Midnight Feature Award at SXSW and the Audience Award at the Los Angeles Film Festival. It’s currently vying for the Audience Award at the Gotham Independent Film Awards, which is voted on publicly at the festival’s website. Screen Gems did not respond immediately to Movieline’s request for comment, but keep an eye on this space for more as the story develops.

Filmmaker J.C. Chandor on His 15-Year Journey to Make Margin Call

Writer-director J.C. Chandor isn’t traditional Verge material — a 15-year veteran of commercials, documentaries and short films whose dramatic feature debut, Margin Call features a eye-popping ensemble cast of Oscar winners (Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons), seasoned pros (Stanley Tucci, Demi Moore, Paul Bettany, Simon Baker) and next-generation standouts (Zachary Quinto, Penn Badgley) taking on the tale of a NY City investment bank flirting with oblivion at the dawn of the ongoing financial crisis. And thanks to both the cast and his own formidable chops, Chandor pulls it off with impressive aplomb. Chandor sat down with Movieline today to go over his long, long road to feature filmmaking, how and where to write a first draft in four days, and feeling comfortable leveling with legends on the set. So this is your first feature, but you’re not a rookie by any means, right? No, I have been a commercial director and a documentary producer and anything else anyone could hire me to do for 15 years. Since before college. I’ve been trying to do this for 15 years. It’s been a personal dream come true in a major, major way, and to have it all come together the way it did is kind of more than you can imagine. I had a film almost five and a half years ago fall apart like five days before principal photography that I had been working on for like seven years. Oh my God. The financier walked. It was just a horrible experience. I didn’t ever leave the documentary projects, but I left the commercial world and left the independent world. My daughter was about five months old at the time, and I’d put my family at financial risk because I’d basically taken off six months of any kind of commercial work to try to produce that. I went out to see if there was something else in the world I could do, and this writing is kind of what drew me back. I just had the idea bouncing around. When did this idea come to you? It was in late ‘06/beginning of ‘07. I began to see a bunch of things happen. I’d gotten into real estate; I love old industrial buildings, and so some partners and I had bought a little building in Tribeca with a little bit of our money and a lot of other money. And that was at a time when everyone was trying to get rich with real estate. We got in over our heads on this big renovation project, and the architect on the project — who was one of our partners, and a friend of mine — his godfather is a very senior banker at a very senior investment bank before starting his own thing. He came to us in ‘06/’07 — in the middle of our renovation, when we were getting offers to buy the building. NY real estate was still [strong], and we were saying, “No way! This is our project.” And he came to us and basically said, “Take them.” At first we didn’t quite know what his motives were, but then he told us about how he was walking away from deals where he was leaving millions of dollars of deposits on the table. And one of our partners who had given us money turned out to be a total pain in the butt. So considering that — combined with what we were told — we sold the building. A year and a half later, the financial world literally comes to an end. And I started thinking back to what it was like. What did he know? What was he literally seeing that made him say something? My partner was an architect, and this was a lifetime dream of his. He affected his godson’s life in this very severe way: “Abandon your project. Get out.” I thought, “What does it feel like to walk around with that information, and when do you decide to actually start acting on it? Who do you act on it with? What if you’re wrong?” Then the investment banks failed, and my father had worked in that world for 35 years. So I knew a lot about those characters — not from a technical standpoint, but from an emotional standpoint. Why they make the decisions they do. Why do some people take the jobs they do? Why do people quit when they quit? Why do people get fired when they get fired? All of those things, I did have a very deep, deep understanding of, just from my own life. So I knew the vice of the characters, and I tried to combine the two. And going back to your other question, I have a long, long history of production. I wrote this to direct it. I thought, “How do you tell this incredibly complicated story for under a million bucks?” That’s where I started, and that’s where I came up with the idea of trapping them on one floor of a building. I knew I could shoot that very quickly and would probably have a better chance of getting prominent actors. All these knowledge bases came together, and this script came out of me in like four days. Four days? Yeah. I went back, obviously, but there was an 81-page draft that I wrote between job interviews. I was in Boulder, Colorado, for a job, and the Monday interview went well, and they asked me to stay until Friday, when the CEO was coming back. I thought, “I could sit here for four days and get drunk or hike in the mountains or do whatever the hell else anyone does in Boulder, Colorardo, or actually do this thing that’s been in my head for a year and a half.” It says “Based on a true story” on the poster. Obviously the crash is pretty real, and you know people like these characters. But is there a specific “true story” you’re telling here? To specify it that way is a marketing situation — though it’s certainly inspired by a true story of what’s going on. But I tried to strip away all identifying factors. There are no dates. There are very few times; the time of the day is laid out, but we don’t really know. I always found it sort of interesting that, by the actual content in the movie, this could have taken place in 2006, or 2004, even. People were calling the end for many years. Part of what I find so interesting is that what got a lot of these CEOs in trouble from a risk-taking standpoint is that they saw their [counterparts] at other companies get laid off for not taking enough risk — for calling in 2005, “It’s time to pump the brakes, boys.” And there were still two more years of making billion-dollar profits. There was this fear of being the first person off the train, so to speak, which in the end led the train over the fucking cliff. But for me, this firm is still in business. This is not a Lehman Brothers situation. This action helped avert bankruptcy, and that’s really interesting to me — that these people are still out there doing their thing.

Talkback: Which Twilight Zone Episode Should Become a Feature Film?

Congrats to Matt Reeves, the Cloverfield director who just landed the upcoming Twilight Zone movie. Hopefully it’ll be less of an apocalyptic disaster than the 1983 movie, but I’m already feeling optimistic: Reeves is also handling the Frankenstein-rejiggering His Dark Materials, which means he has a strong grasp on the eerie and far-out. Since we know the new Twilight Zone will not be a series of episodes like the first movie, I say we suggest possible episodes of the real series for writer Jason Rothenberg to adapt. What’s your favorite? For me, it’s all about “The Jeopardy Room,” the espionage-laden reversal of Rear Window. Instead of peering inside an apartment to catch a killer, the killers are outside the residence looking in. Since it’s basically been established that the new Twilight Zone will feature paranormal elements, I’m making a last-minute plea for a juicy, semi-realistic, KGB spy caper. I also happen to be obsessed with young Martin Landau, who brought such unsettling (and homoerotic!) power to North by Northwest. What’s your pick? (By the way, we still need to settle the matter of casting Rod Serling.) Matt Reeves is Warner Bros. Pick for ‘Twilight Zone’ Movie [Deadline]

At HIFF: Alexander Skarsgård Loves the Hamptons, Critics Not So Much

Greeting from the Hamptons International Film Festival! Located just a two-hour bus jaunt east of NY City, the fest seemed like an ideal place for Movieline to embark on an overnight filmgoing getaway. And just like that, I bumped into Alexander Skarsgrd, who’s here representing Lars von Trier’s spellbinding (if mildly embattled) masterpiece Melancholia. Melancholia features Skarsgrd as Michael, the newlywed husband of a young woman (played by Kirsten Dunst) wracked with crippling depression on their wedding day — which may or may not have something to do with the appearance of a giant planet on a collision course with Earth. As I write, the movie’s screening at the multiplex (Melancholia God bless them) across the street, outside which the True Blood heartthrob and recent Straw Dogs baddie spent two minutes catching his breath on Main Street. We had a word in the red-carpet whirlwind. This is crazy, right? Yeah! Especially considering I just got off a plane from Sweden. It’s like, wild. Yowza. I heard you’re a Hamptons regular? I’ve actually been coming out a lot this summer, because I’ve been shooting in NY the past two and a half months. My best friend, who’s out here tonight with her husband, they have a house out in Amagansett. So on weekends, when I’m done shooting, that’s where I go off to. I’ve been out there a lot this year. I think you’re the third Skarsgrd we’ve interviewed in the last year after your father, Stellan, and your younger brother Bill. What’s the professional dynamic like in the family? Is it competitive? Do you guys ever want the same roles? Well, I’m 14 years older than Bill, and my brother Gus, we’re quite different. We usually don’t go after the same parts. So I wouldn’t say its competitive. But we do talk a lot about work, and we do encourage each and try to keep each other motivated. And you and father co-star in Melancholia, which is a masterpiece — but seems kind of overshadowed these days by the Lars von Trier circus. Not really. Really? Do you think he’s done a disservice to the film? Or is all publicity good publicity? I mean, I don’t think he did. The movie’s so strong, and I think pretty quickly, people are focusing on the movie again after that comment. Straw Dogs had a tough go of things recently, which is too bad. What was your take on the film and its reception? I don’t know. I don’t read reviews, so… I don’t like knowing. Did you see it? Yeah! Yeah, I’ve seen it. I’m happy with it! I think it’s good, and I’m happy with my part. But no reviews. No. No, I just… don’t. Not even the positive ones? No. And, uh… scene. Anyway, more to come this weekend (hopefully!) as Movieline’s HIFF coverage rolls on.
