Reporting Words
November 13th, 2006
Today’s Hollywood Reporter spills the beans on one of my latest previously-secret projects:
Meanwhile, ABC has ordered a script for “The Box,” a one-hour drama focusing on a legal case that takes place over the course of one season. The project follows the 12 jury members, who are faced with deliberating a high-profile murder trial as they uncover truths about the case, their fellow jurors and themselves.
Michael MacLennan, whose credits include Showtime’s “Queer as Folk,” and Paul Davidson, author of such books as the recent “The Lost Blogs,” are writing. Fred Gerber (Fox’s “House”) is attached to direct.
Zadan, Meron, MacLennan and Gerber are executive producing, while Davidson is co-executive producing.
You can see the entire text of the article here.
Mazel tov Pauly. Woohoo!

Four executive producers and one co-executive producer? Interesting.

Uh, it should say “I hope this project..” instead of “I am this project..”, geez, now I sound like Borat.

You know, you are certainly within your rights to refer to us, your loyal fanbase, in your writing.
All I’m asking is for one mention of a Pamchenko… that’s it.

Jerry - Wasn’t our agreement that you wouldn’t give away the secret condiment conspiracy plotline?
Damn you.

Congrats!
All my savory condiments to you.
The auspicious timing of this press release proves once and for all, what you and I have been implying all along, that you are much more than a mere blogger. You’re a consumed professional.
Much success and happiness to you.
And please feel free to steal any of my lines…. all just for putting up with me.
Go get ‘em, tiger!

I’m going to tell you the same thing I tell everyone who is in a position to hit it big. “When you become famous, I’m going to tell people we slept together.”
