TV: The Kid From ‘Iron Eagle’ To Own A Gentleman’s Club On “Dexter”
The Seventh Season of “Dexter” starts airing on September 30th at 9pm ET/PT, and we’re starting to get a glimpse of the shape it might take. Now that his sister, Deb (Jennifer Carpenter), knows he’s a killer – and is in love with him – Season Seven was already promising to deviate from the formula a bit.
We already know that Ray Stevenson booked a multiepisode arc playing Isaac, the leader of a Russian organized crime syndicate. Now Deadline is reporting, “Jason Gedrick is joining Season 7 of Dexter in a multi-episode arc. He will play the manager of a Miami-area gentlemen’s club that becomes linked to a high-profile murder case in the Showtime drama. Production on Season 7 begins in May in Los Angeles.”
Jason Gedrick was most recently seen in HBO’s “Luck”, so it’s not like he hasn’t been working. But to me, he’ll always be Doug Masters – the scrappy underage fighter pilot ho straps a cassette deck to his thigh while flying jets, hanging out with Chappy Sinclair and rescuing his dad from evil despots. Tragically – his character was killed in the opening moments of Iron Eagle 2.
Anyway, “Dexter”. As good as it’s ever been, right?
The classic murder-mystery game Clue is headed back to screens both big and small, with Variety reporting this week that Sony is planning potential film and television adaptations.
Variety reports, “Hasbro Entertainment has closed a deal with Sony‘s TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for the film and TV rights for the beloved board game.”
“Sony is the perfect partner to adapt a property as culturally impactful and mystery-defining as ‘Clue,’” said Hasbro’s Zev Foreman and Gabriel Marano. “Nicole Brown, Katherine Pope, and their teams are tremendous creative collaborators and ideal partners to help us figure out after 75 years if it was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick.”
Clue was created way back in 1943 by Anthony E. Pratt, and the board game was of course notably turned into a feature film starring Tim Curry in 1985 and a mini-series in 2011.
Ryan Reynolds had more recently been attached to star in a remake for 20th Century Studios, while Fox Entertainment had been developing an animated series a few years back.
