Body of Proof: 6 Things You Need to Know About the New Season

Body Of Proof A new member of the team! A new man in her life! For Body of Proof's prickly protagonist Megan Hunt (Dana Delany), learning that her boss is dating her ex-husband in the Season 1 finale was just the tip of the iceberg. Here are six things you need to know for the new season: 6. There's a new girl in town: Season 2 will introduce a new employee, Dani (Nathalie Kelley), who drives the van for the medical examiner's office. "I think they did a great job [casting] because what you notice is the people who work in the morgue are not what you'd expect," Delany tells TVGuide.com. "They're often covered in tattoos and kind of hip, groovy, interesting people that work in a morgue, and that's what she's like. She's kind of a hipster, tattooed bit of a punk and she's a possible love interest for a couple of the guys." Fall Preview: Get scoop on your favorite returning shows 5. Watch out for messy office politics: "There's a couple of episodes coming up ... that I'm really excited about that have to do with the political dynamics between the two departments and creating rifts between the two departments and making people choose," John Carroll Lynch says. In the midst of this division between the police department and the medical examiner's office, viewers may also get to see a different side of boss Kate (Jeri Ryan) as she becomes more involved with the cases this season. "I suspect this season we'll see more of her political ambition and more of her political ties," Ryan says, "but I don't know exactly how that's going to play out." 4. A Mother of the Year Award is not in Megan's future: Megan made major progress last season in repairing her relationship with her daughter, Lacey (Mary Mouser), but it may be a case of one step forward, two steps back. "I think it's going to be push-pull like any mother-daughter relationship," Delany says. "I like the fact that Megan's clueless when it comes to her daughter. She's so smart at every other aspect of her life except for personal relationships. And she doesn't know how to act and she's kind of vulnerable and childlike in that area, so Lacey ends up having to be the adult in many ways." Delany, for one, is betting against Megan. "I hope that she's not completely successful because then that leads to more drama and comedy." Check out our list of TV duos who should do it 3. Megan's family is about to get more dysfunctional: Season 2 picks up right after the shocking revelation of last season's finale - when Megan learns that her ex-husband is dating Kate. "I think she's trying hard to accept it, but not doing very well at that," Delany says. Things are also complicated for Kate because of her lack of parental experience. "Everyone in the office has to deal with the repercussions of that - even those not directly involved," Ryan says. "Kate then finds herself thrown into the middle of this already very tense and uncomfortable family dynamic, which she had no interest in being in the middle of, and it involves a teenage girl as well. So it's very awkward and everybody's trying to find their footing in this new dynamic." 2. Kate isn't the only one getting romanced: Look for both Peter (Nicholas Bishop) and Megan to take dips in the dating pool. Megan will find a possible love interest in FBI agent Derek Ames, played by Cliff Curtis, while Peter will be a little harder to pin down. "They're turning Peter into a bit of a playa so he's dating a lot and going out with a lot of chicks. Chicks are throwing themselves at him," Delany says. "Megan's a little like, 'Hm, I didn't really know he was that hot.' So I think that starts stirring things up." That jealously will be mutual when Derek enters Megan's life. 1. Don't hold your breath for Megan and Peter: Yes, the crime-solving duo will feel the pangs of jealously, but both Delany and Bishop admit pairing their characters together feels a little been there, done that. Not to mention, as Bishop points out, their hookup would make the medical examiner's office "hell on wheels" for everyone. "Very early on, the creators, the producers and the writers decided that we weren't going to do that. Never say never -- there's always a little flirtation and whatever. But I think it's just more interesting to have the relationship that we have," he says. "He's her conscience. He's the guy who - apart from her daughter - can turn around and say whether she's behaving badly." Body of Proof returns on Tuesday at 10/9c on ABC.

J.J. Abrams Beams Up To 'Star Trek 2' Director's Chair

FROM MTV MOVIES: Sometimes, if you wait long enough (and blog hard enough), the universe will hear your cries of anguish and soothe them with a big glass of thirst-quenching Romulan Ale. Or, better yet, provide confirmation that J.J. Abrams has finally committed to directing the "Star Trek" sequel. Either way, you're pretty psyched. After indicating that he was still up in the air about directing the anticipated sequel to his wildly successful reboot of the space franchise, NY Magazine's Vulture blog is reporting that Abrams is onboard and that pre-production is under way. Citing unnamed insiders familiar with the "Super 8" director's plans, Vulture reported that the script is expected to be done by month's end and that shooting could begin this winter. Entertainment Weekly confirmed the news on Wednesday (September 14). Abrams recently finished shooting the fourth "Mission: Impossible" movie, "Ghost Protocol" which again stars Tom Cruise, along with Ving Rhames, Jeremy Renner, Josh Holloway and Paula Patton has hedged in the past about whether he would take up another tour on the Enterprise before a killer script was in place. In August, he told Collider, "Once you say, 'We're ready to go, but we don't have a finished script yet,' or, 'I'm directing the thing and here's the release date, but we don't have a finished script,' what starts to happen is that you're suddenly in production on a movie where you're thinking, 'Oh my God, we weren't really ready!'

'Nader' is Iran's Oscar entry

TEL AVIV -- "Nader and Simin, a Separation," the very first Iranian film to win the Golden Bear in the Berlin Film Festival, is Iran's submission within the foreign-language film race in the 84th Oscars. Pic, from author-helmer Asghar Farhadi, traces the breakdown of the middle-class couple, performed by Peyman Moaadi and Leila Hatami, in Tehran. Simin files for divorce from her husband Nader after he will not leave the nation and lift their 11-year-old daughter Termeh (Sarina Farhadi) abroad, where she thinks they are able to offer her a much better future. Farhad's script does a fragile dance around Iranian censorship, never clearly addressing the government's regime but nonetheless granting politics a heady, although quiet, role. Farhadi's fifth pic is made by using a $25,000 grant in the MPA's Asia Off-shore Screen Award Academy Film Fund. Like his previous three films, including "About Elly," that also investigated Iranian middle-class malaise and won this year's Asia Off-shore Screen Academy award for the best script and also the jury grand prize, "Nader and Simin" is made without funding in the Iranian government. The Iranian Secretary of state for Culture and Islamic Guidance tried to block Farhadi from production following his speech last September by which he stated he wished banned filmmakers, including Mohsen Makhmalbaf, who's in self-enforced exile, and Jafar Panahi, who's under house arrest, could be permitted revisit the Iranian film scene. After he released a public apology for his remarks, the federal government rescinded Farhadi's prohibit. That causes it to be even more surprising that the board of nine cineastes designated through the Farabi Motion picture Foundation, a joint venture partner towards the ministry, chose "Nader and Simin." The prosperity of the film, Farhadi stated in Berlin in Feb while accepting the Golden Bear, provides him with "an excellent chance to think about the folks of my country, the nation I was raised in, the nation where I learned my tales -- an excellent people." Iran didn't submit films for Oscar consideration in early many years of the Islamic Republic after 1979's revolution. That transformed in 1994 when Abbas Kiarostami's "With the Olive Trees" was submit. Helmer Majid Majidi's "Kids of Paradise" managed to get to Oscar's foreign-language films candidate in 1997. The deadline for those nations to transmit within their distribution is March. 1. The Oscars is going to be held February. 26 in the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.

Letter from Toronto: Hysteria Hums Along Albert Nobbs Drops the Tea Tray

A tribute to vibes as well as the women who love them, Tanya Wexler’s Hysteria can be a jaunty little entertainment that’s almost plowed under by its early-suffragette arguments for girls’s equality. But like the little motorized whatsit that's its subject, the film’s charms are ultimately irresistible. The look is occur Victorian London, a period of time and set where the women’s condition known to as hysteria was treated by some rather, um, direct and interesting techniques. (In line with the movie, they might require 2 types of oil together with your physician’s fingers.) Hugh Dancy plays Mortimer Granville, your personal doctor who’s considering effective weight reduction items — he’s stylish to the idea of bacteria as the relaxation from the documents continue being hung on leeches. No hospital might have him, which he feels lucky to land employment at the office of just one Dr. Robert Dalrymple (Jonathan Pryce), who is experienced in this delicate female complaint. “It’s the plague of all time!” he notifies his youthful friend. “Half the women london are stricken!” Only half? Anyway, the majority of the stricken make their approach to the truly amazing physician’s office, lots of that Dr. Granville begins suffering anxiously from hands cramps. Fortunately, his nearest friend, a layabout aristocrat carried out having a marvelously louche Rupert Everett, has invented an electric duster that, getting a few tweaks, works like a handy hysteria treatment device. The main one factor catches on like wildfire, and everybody’s happy. Well, under. There’s furthermore a creaky side plot such as the physician’s open daughter Charlotte now now (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and her campaign to help the indegent and get equal rights for individuals women it wears thin pretty quickly. Still, Gyllenhaal — with this particular vibrant, significant, acorn-created face — continues valiantly, keeping the material from getting too preachy. The film’s offhand moments will be the most fun, as when the two doctors, plus Everett, try the system about the first patient: Installed a drape across her legs and don swimming goggles, peering expectantly into the abyss before — huzzah! — achieving victory. Hysteria is most wonderful if the slips into its naughtiest groove and basically purrs. It’s probably no coincidence that in Rodrigo Garcia’s Albert Nobbs, Glenn Close, who plays a girl living and dressing just like a guy and dealing just like a waiter in the 19th-century Dublin hotel, bears an in depth resemblance to Gordon Jackson, who carried out butler Mr. Hudson inside the 󈨊s BBC TV series Upstairs, Downstairs. (Pauline Collins, who co-starred with Jackson inside the series, also appears inside the film.) But Close’s character — the Albert Nobbs in the title — probably isn’t as pleased with her are Mr. Hudson was. She’s wanting it’s a method to an finish: She’s saving her meager earnings so she'll open a tobacco shop and, possibly, lure the maid she’s deeply deeply in love with (carried out with the winsome Mia Wasikowska) to discuss her existence along with her. The premise is intriguing, so when any director is sensitive enough to research the plight from the lady trying to pass through just like a guy, it’s probably Garcia. (The script was put together by Close and Irish novelist John Banville.) But Albert Nobbs is almost too sensitive — it provides a quivering, tentative quality relating to this that must do largely with Close’s performance. Her Albert is really a part of discomfort, plus it’s difficult to check out her suffering. But Close too often comes off just like a wan Valentine. Along with her apparently lashless eyelids and narrow smile, she looks ready to blow in the face around the globe in the heartbeat. Albert’s quiet agony involves appear masochistic at the beginning of the film, possibly because Close stays far considerable time considering some imaginary distance, fingering her inner discomfort until it’s worn thin. You're feeling terrible on her behalf character but that doesn’t always mean you have to watch her. Discover much more of Stephanie Zacharek’s 2011 Toronto Worldwide Film Festival coverage here.

Thoroughly

A Global Wrestling Entertainment discharge of a global Wrestling Entertainment production. Created by Mike Pavone. Executive producer, Lori Lewis. Co-producer, Nancy Hirami. Directed by Artie Mandelberg. Script, Dylan Schaffer.With: Paul Levesque, Michael Rapaport, Parker Posey, Bruce Dern, Michael Cudlitz, Julie Whitened, Juliette Goglia, Jency Griffin.In the ongoing mission to create Paul "Triple H" Levesque a viable superstar, WWE casts the hulking wrestler in another ex-disadvantage role in "Thoroughly,Inch sandwiching him between Michael Rapaport and Parker Posey, perhaps a couple of Hollywood's quirkiest supporting gamers. However their flakiness effectively plays from the taciturn, muscle-bound Levesque, whose cliched option to go straight or crooked, juxtaposed with Rapaport's loose-cannon loquaciousness, turns moral questions into an entertaining vaudeville routine. Veering crazily in tone, "ThoroughlyInch might neglect to catapult its star into wider acceptability, but should delight fans of gently absurd actioners upon its limited Sept. 9 release. AJ (Levesque), launched from prison following a 13-year stretch finds out that his best friend Jack (Rapaport), whom he visited jail to safeguard, has married his best girl (Parker Posey) in the absence. Apparently unfazed, AJ moves along with the pair as well as their lively daughter (Juliette Goglia), clutching a box of pickle jars, the important thing to his new, non-criminal future. But Jack, the boy of the callous if mild-mannered vet-cum-crime the almighty (Bruce Dern in fine thesping fettle), has other ideas, anxious to rope him into the family fold and it is latest extralegal venture: cigarette smuggling. While AJ handles to face up to dad's insidious blandishments, he's no defense against violent psycho Jack, and shortly finds themself carting around dead physiques and laying through his white teeth to defend Jack in the effects of his progressively off-the-wall nastiness. Scripter Dylan Schaffer and helmer Artie Mandelberg take full advantage of Rapaport's rat-a-tat commentary, spoken in classic publish-Tarantino gangster mode, to fill the gaps around Levesque's frequent stolid silences. Silence can also be the stock in trade of Dern's primary enforcer, a black-clad Eastern European assassin named Irena (Jency Griffin), whose wide frightening grin attests to her fascination with her work, and whose scrawled trademark "Kaboom" precedes her problem-fixing explosions. Meanwhile, Julie Whitened, like a screwball tax investigator, sets happens for that pic's convoluted happy-unhappy-happy ending. If most of the script's conditions appear a little too convenient (both AJ and also the tax investigator receive cancer-ridden dying parents, apparently so their pathways can unknowingly mix in the hospital), Mandelberg's direction supplies a cavalier "what next?" verve that invites incongruity. Production values are solid, with fluid action sequences that demonstrate no stop-and-go issues that indicated earlier WWE excursions.Camera (color), Kenneth Zunder editor, Jerry U.
