TV News...


After making a new pilot episode earlier this year, Dollhouse has temporarily stopped production and will resume filming September 25. Fox and Joss Whedon agreed that the fourth episode's script needed work, and Whedon will also use the time to get ahead on further scripts. This will not affect the show's premiere.

Simpsons executive producer Al Jean says that the show will parody Transformers and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown for its Halloween special this year. Next year there will be a "post-apocalyptic 28 Days Later/Children of Men thing. Krusty makes his hamburger out of mad cows, and it winds up turning everybody into zombies."

Tim Kring on Heroes season 3: "We've always had kind of a weird philosophy on the show that no question was so precious that we couldn't answer it, because there's always more questions to answer. One of the things we really tried to do in this volume is to take all the core questions of the show, the basic questions that we started off with--Who am I? What's happening to me? How am I connected? Where did these powers come from?--we take every single one of these major questions and turn them on their head in this particular volume. Each one of those gets answered in new ways." SciFi Wire has a spoiler. Heroes premieres this Monday, September 22.

Katee Sackhoff will star in the pilot for Dick Wolf and Chris Levinson's hour long crime drama Lost and Found on NBC. She'll play "an offbeat female LAPD detective who, after butting heads with the higher-ups, is sent as a punishment to the basement to work on John Doe and Jane Doe cases."

David Anders, Kandyse McClure, Preston Bailey, and Daniel Newman have been cast in SciFi Channel and Donald P. Borchers' two-hour TV movie remake of Children of the Corn. Currently filming in Iowa, it should air next year.
