For the conclusion of Diamond Comic Distributors Retailer Summit and for the opening of Geppi’s Entertainment Museum’s new exhibit 75 Spirited Years: Will Eisner and The Spirit on Friday, September 25, 2015 – four top creators were asked to provide their interpretations of a concept sketch that had been created by Eisner but never before finished.
One of those creators was Mark Wheatley, the Inkpot, Mucker, Gem, Speakeasy, and Eisner award-winning writer-artist perhaps best known for his successful and often cutting-edge collaborations with fellow writer-artist Marc Hempel. Wheatley will see his piece based on Eisner’s sketch featured on the cover of a limited edition of Overstreet’s Comic Book Marketplace Yearbook 2015-2016. This version will be given to retailers who attend the closing party for the Retailer Summit, which is also the official kick-off of the Eisner exhibit.
“I’m thrilled to have been asked to posthumously collaborate with Will Eisner on this project.

CBS has ordered a pilot for Rush Hour.
Cougar Town creators Bill Lawrence and Blake McCormick have penned an adaptation of the 1998 movie, which originally starred Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.
The story will follow a stoic, by-the-book Hong Kong police officer who is partnered with a cocky local Lapd officer, who has no interest in working with a partner.
Lawrence recently described the show as: "New plot, same characters, a little younger, a little different, fish out of water. It's a cool script. I'm psyched about it."
Three Rush Hour movies starring Chan and Tucker were released between 1998 and 2007.
CBS has also ordered two other comedy pilots, Super Clyde and Joe Time.
Super Clyde is being redeveloped after an initial pilot order in 2013 which starred Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint. The story focuses on a meek, unassuming fast-food worker who finds his calling.

Once upon a time, studios, networks, and TV stars didn’t want anyone to see their busted pilots, preferring to send them off to die quietly — and alone, like an elephant. But a pair of failed pilots have been put online in the past two weeks — and legally too! Today, Sarah Silverman got 20th TV‘s blessing to post Susan 313, a 2012 pilot she did at the studio for NBC that was a no-go. Written by Dan Sterling and loosely based on Silverman’s life, it’s about a woman whose long-term relationship ends and she moves back into the apartment she had the foresight not to give up. Earlier this month, Greg Garcia got CBS to put online his single-camera pilot Super Clyde. That one follows a shy comic book fanatic/fast-food worker who inherits a fortune from an uncle and embarks on a new life as a superhero...

The comedy starred Harry Potter alum Rupert Grint as Clyde, a shy fast-food worker and comic-book fanatic who inherits $100,000 a month for the rest of his life from an eccentric uncle, and decides with the help of his butler (Stephen Fry) to become a superhero to secretly help strangers in need.

Here’s why CBS ultimately rejected the high-concept comedy Super Clyde, according to EW’s own James Hibberd: It “was deemed off-brand for the network and the net’s other comedies came in strong. Plus, successful comedy blocks are about creating flow, and there was also nothing compatible that CBS had to pair it with.”
That reasoning is understandable, if disappointing for fans of ex-Harry Potter star Rupert Grint. But after watching the pilot for Super Clyde — available now on CBS.com — I can’t help but wish I had a time-turner, which I’d use to travel back and...

TV networks and studios almost never make pilots that hadn’t gone to series available to the public. In a rare exception, CBS has put Greg Garcia‘s single-camera pilot Super Clyde up online. (You can watch it here.) The move is a result from a request by Garcia, who sent out an email tonight announcing the pilot’s availability. Super Clyde was one of two pilots Garcia had at CBS this past season, with the other, the multi-camera The Millers, getting a series order. Super Clyde stars Harry Potter‘s Rupert Grint as a shy comic book fanatic who discovers his calling after he inherits millions of dollars from his eccentric uncle. Clyde, a mild-mannered fast-food worker, is bequeathed $100,000 per month for the rest of his life, and — with the help of his butler, Randolph (Stephen Fry) — begins his thrilling new life as a superhero, secretly helping strangers in need.

Rupert Grint is currently promoting his appearance in Cbgb, but he came very close to being a CBS comedy star. Last spring, The Eye network shot a pilot for a single-camera comedy called Super Clyde, in which the former Harry Potter star played a comic-book dude who inherits a boatload of money from a crazy uncle and decides to become something of a superhero, giving help to those in need. Raising Hope creator Greg Garcia shot the pilot (which also stars Stephen Fry) at roughly the same time as The Millers; only the latter show got greenlit to series. But even though Super Clyde didn't move forward, Garcia and fellow exec producer Michael Fresco lobbied CBS execs to at least let folks see their finished product online. And, in a bit of a surprise move, CBS said yes."The worst part about it not ending up on the fall schedule...

CBS has picked up a TV adaptation of Bad Teacher, the 2011 film starring Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake.
The premise of the comedy series mirrors that of the movie, with Diaz's character to be played by The Guilt Trip and Fringe actress Ari Graynor.
The show follows the inappropriate, foul-mouthed central character (Graynor), who becomes a teacher after her wealthy husband leaves her.
The show is most likely to be screened in midseason, as the network's fall schedule is already established.
CBS recently announced six new series for the 2013-14 season, including Sarah Michelle Gellar and Robin Williams comedy Crazy Ones.
However, Rupert Grint comedy Super Clyde and a Beverly Hills Cop series were passed on by the network.

Plus, Disney pulls a gluten joke and does Elementary modernize a literary hero right?
News
Stephen Moffat commented that the next season of Doctor Who has already been plotted, since the show has to work far in advance.
I don’t know how to react to Jezebel‘s praise for Amy Schumer and Schumer’s new sketch comedy show. She’s an incredibly witty comic, but it feels like every time I start really enjoying her work she says something that crosses the line. Still, so far Inside Amy Schumer has been a pretty funny show.
Rumer Willis has booked a role on Pretty Little Liars, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Willis will play a charity organizer who appears in one episode but could return for more.
io9 praises Elementary declaring it, “The right way to update a classic hero.” If you’re looking for an attempt to declare Elementary superior to the British Sherlock,...

The Beverly Hills Cop TV pilot is not dead and could still make it to air, a report suggests.
Producer and distributor Sony Pictures Television is confident that either a broadcast or cable network will pick up the project, after CBS declined to order a series, according to Broadcast.
Eddie Murphy reprised his big-screen role of Axel Foley in the pilot from The Shield creator Shawn Ryan, with Brandon T Jackson starring as the show's lead - Axel's son Aaron.
"It's still in contention in the market; there's still lots of interest," a source said. "You will find that show on air."
CBS rejected a number of high-profile pilots this season, including the spinoff show NCIS: Red and Rupert Grint's sitcom Super Clyde.
New series picked up by the network include Josh Holloway spy drama Intelligence and comedy The Crazy Ones starring Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar.

ABC announced its fall schedule. With slipping ratings Dancing with the Stars is losing its results show to Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Meanwhile, the Once Upon a Time spin-off is getting the deadly Thursday night time slot that killed Last Resort, Charlie’s Angels and My Generation among many more. Oddly, after sending Happy Endings on a suicide mission to stop New Girl‘s momentum, ABC plans on airing two new comedies in the same time slot.
ABC also plans on attempting to treat its shows more like cable channels next season. Instead of keeping one show in a time slot through the whole season, it plans on splitting the season for its scripted serialized shows in half, with each...

May 13th, 2013, 11:20am– On Saturday Rupert Grint attended The Door Youth Project Charity Concert at the Sub Rooms in Stroud. He was there to support his sister Samantha who was playing with her band Ghost of Samantha. Today, we have several pictures from the event of Rupert politely taking pictures with fans and performers. He is looking happy and it is so lovely to see him support his family in all their endeavours. Stroud FM (a community readio station) was on hand to report on all the music, and they’ve been kind enough to upload some pictures of our boy, taken by Tammy Lynn Kwan. BKA5CrRCEAELphP.jpg large Rupert‘s appearance at the event also made the local news and Stroud News & Journal describes Rupert like this: Wearing a black t-shirt with ‘Hormones’ written across in the style of the famous Ramones logo, skinny jeans and a hoodie,...

May 11th, 2:54pm, 2013– Unfortunately, news has hit the web tonight that Rupert Grint‘s pilot project Super Clyde has not been picked up by CBS. Yesterday, we got the first signs that it would be very very difficult for the pilot to get picked when The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that four comedies had been picked already (Crazy Ones, The Millers, Mom and We Are Men). There were many very good pilots up for graps this year on CBS, and Super Clyde was just really unlucky not to be picked. Today several of Rupert‘s cast members on the pilot confirmed the bad news. Justine Lupe wrote it first: Sad to say CBS Super Clyde isn’t going on… Grateful to have gotten to have some fun with @TyLabine, @stephenfry &the rest! :) Tyler Labine was quick to reply: @iamjustinelupe @stephenfry it was indeed great to get the...

April 24, 2013, 3:24pm– The wait is finally over – we now have the awesome character poster featuring Rupert Grint as Cheetah Chrome. The Hollywood Reporter has previously released several cool posters depicting Alan Rickman as Hilly Kristal, Ashley Greene as Lisa Kristal, Joel David Moore as Joey Ramone, Mickey Summer as Patti Smith and Justin Bartha as Dead Boys lead singer Stiv Bators. But now the day has come which all us Rupert Grint fans have been waiting for. Rupert is looking very rock’n'roll on this poster – let us know what you think in the comments. You can see a larger version of the poster in the gallery here. cbgb_rupert_cheetah_chrome_a_p In other news, we are getting closer and closer to know whether or not Super Clyde is picked up by CBS. All we can do is cross our fingers, but luckily lots of buzz has...

We’re about a week from starting to get more definitive feedback on this year’s pilots when the networks start screening them. That is probably my favorite part of pilot season when dark horses and underdogs that had stayed largely under the radar suddenly race to the front of the pack. Until then, here are how pilots stack up now based on inherently subjective intel. Related: Primetime Pilot Panic – More Early Buzz Chuck Lorre’s Mom stamped its ticket to the fall schedule with a very well received taping on Friday night, so there goes the assured multi-camera CBS slot for next season, likely Mondays 8:30 Pm. The Robin Williams starrer Crazy Ones looks pretty solid on the single-camera side. If CBS decides to go with multiple new multi-camera series, Friends With Better Lives and the untitled Greg Garcia project appear particularly strong (It is still early on the...

April 1st, 11:27am, 2013– Although Rupert Grint wrapped filming on Super Clyde last week (on Thursday more specifically) and is probably home enjoying Easter with his lovely family, we now have some awesome pictures of Rupert on the set in Los Angeles. The pictures show Rupert filming a scene where he has to crouch down behind a car as well as Rupert being Rupert while taking a break. It is great to finally get a good look at how Clyde will look on the show and the hair style is definitely cute. Let us know, in the comments, what your first impressions of Clyde are. You can check out a couple of the pictures below, but make sure you go to Jfx Online to look at the rest of the pictures (we are still working hard to get our gallery in order, apologies for the inconvenience. We’ll make sure...
