When SLEEPY HOLLOW’s first season concluded, every single character was put in a highly dangerous situation, but for Irving, his situation was more grounded than the rest: he was arrested after he confessed to crimes he didn’t commit in order to protect his family.

At Comic-Con, SLEEPY HOLLOW stars Orlando Jones (Irving) and Lyndie Greenwood (Jenny), as well as co-creator Alex Kurtzman spoke with reporters about Irving’s loss of control (and the semi-appropriate place he ends up), as well the addition of Matt Barr — and who has been handsy with him…

The SLEEPY HOLLOW Cast and Producers Share Their Favorite Shocking Season 1 Moments

Comments Off on The SLEEPY HOLLOW Cast and Producers Share Their Favorite Shocking Season 1 Moments

sleepy-hollow-paley-featured

In SLEEPY HOLLOW’s first season, the show excelled at surprising viewers: from the very first episode (which featured two characters who appeared to be major players getting killed off) all the way to the finale reveal that the show had been playing a long-con with Henry, fans knew only to expect the unexpected.

But what really surprised the people involved with the show? And which surprises were the writers/producers surprised they were able to pull off? To get a little bit of intel, I asked SLEEPY HOLLOW stars Tom Mison (Ichabod), Nicole Beharie (Abbie), Lyndie Greenwood (Jenny), and John Cho (Andy), as well as co-creators Len Wiseman, Roberto Orci, and Alex Kurtzman, producer Heather Kadin, and showrunner Mark Goffman for their favorite surprising moments of the show’s freshman season…

Comments Off on SCORPION on CBS – First Look

CBS is bringing viewers SCORPION, a drama about Homeland Security’s newest (fictional) think tank — and it’s filled with an “eccentric genius” and “his team of brilliant misfits.” (The cast includes Robert Patrick and Katharine McPhee)

Check out photos from the new show, the network’s description, and a trailer…

SCORPION

“Pilot” -- SCORPION, inspired by a true story, is a high-octane drama about eccentric genius Walter O’Brien (Elyes Gabel) and his team of brilliant misfits who comprise the last line of defense against high-tech, complex threats of the modern age. Life outside their circle confounds them, so they rely on Paige Dineen, who has a young gifted son, to translate the world for them. At last, these nerdy masterminds have found the perfect job: a place where they can apply their exceptional brainpower to solve the nation’s crises, while also helping each other learn how to fit in.

SLEEPY HOLLOW: Alex Kurtzman Teases the Return of John Noble’s Henry Parrish

December 6, 2013 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Sleepy Hollow

sleepy-hollow-john-noble-featured

SLEEPY HOLLOW introduced us to John Noble’s Henry Parrish — AKA the “sin eater” — a few episodes back, but as Noble teased, Henry will play a bigger part in the final arc of the show’s freshman season.

“[Noble’s] character, Henry Parrish, spent a good portion of his recent years kind of locked away in a dark room because he’s so afraid of the gift he’s been given,” SLEEPY HOLLOW executive producer Alex Kurtzman pointed out. “And like Abbie and Crane who have been handed this impossible duty, and haven’t exactly known what to do with it, he’s been frightened of the same things and what he’s found himself capable of. And didn’t know exactly how to apply it for good — he didn’t know what to do with it. And meeting Abbie and Crane, and ultimately being able to be the one who separated Crane from the Horseman, it begins to show Henry how necessary he is to the fight against evil, and it gives him a sense of purpose, just like Abbie and Crane are finding theirs. So he will become one of their co-warriors against everything that’s going to be hitting them as they reach the end of the season.”

SLEEPY HOLLOW: Alex Kurtzman on Unmasking the Headless Horseman and What Comes Next

November 20, 2013 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Sleepy Hollow

sleepy-hollow-featured

SLEEPY HOLLOW has consistently raised the stakes with every episode, but this past Monday’s hour, “Necromancer,” took things to a whole new level: while Ichabod and Abbie had the Headless Horseman captured, Ichabod realized, to his horror, that the man/creature that had been tormenting him over the centuries was really his presumed dead best friend, Abraham…who also just happened to be the ex-fiance of Katrina (Ichabod’s wife).

And while other shows might have waited at least a full season before they made that game-changing reveal, SLEEPY HOLLOW co-creator Alex Kurtzman shared that the writers knew from the start that they wanted to play that card early in the series’ run.

SLEEPY HOLLOW: The Cast and Producers Tease Bringing Ichabod Crane to 2013

Comments Off on SLEEPY HOLLOW: The Cast and Producers Tease Bringing Ichabod Crane to 2013

“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” has been adapted many different ways over the years, but it’s hard to argue that any has been as daring as the new Fox series, SLEEPY HOLLOW: the show focuses on Ichabod Crane, who in this telling has mysteriously arrived in modern-day Sleepy Hollow…240-plus years after he was last conscious. Once in 2013, he has to team up with a cop, Abbie — who has her own reasons to keep a distance from him — to try and stop the Headless Horseman.

In trying to describe the show, it sounds absolutely crazy. But in execution, for me, it ended up being one of the most enjoyable pilots of the new season.

“It is a crazy idea, I think if those crazy ideas are done correctly, they’re the ones that really become something,” SLEEPY HOLLOW executive producer Mark Goffman noted. “The ideas that are not as crazy sometimes are just safe and boring. So if you take a crazy idea for something that’s almost a ridiculous concept, but if you take that ridiculous concept and turn it into something you can do correctly, I think you’ve got something really fun.”

On Sunday night, SLEEPY HOLLOW had a very special Los Angeles premiere — at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. (How appropriately creepy, right?)

Before the screening started, I asked SLEEPY HOLLOW executive producers Len Wiseman, Alex Kurtzman and Mark Goffman, plus series star Orlando Jones (Captain Irving) about what they were most excited for fans to see…
