‘Tell Me You Love Me’ Runs Out Of Simulated Sex Positions

· HBO prosthesiscore drama Tell Me You Love Me has abandoned its second season, with series creator/Jodie Foster tabloid companion Cynthia Mort releasing a statement explaining the creative team was “unable to find the direction of the show for the second season,” blaming in part “the considerable amount of time” since the first season aired. Translation: “None of us could recall what any of our whiny characters were fighting about, and the shock of a set of slapping latex balls has sort of worn off.” [Variety]
· Ellen Barkin, Ving Rhames and Rob Corddry have begun shooting on indie spy comedy Rogues Gallery—de facto work stoppage be damned! [Variety]
· Gilmore Girls‘ Alexis Bledel will star in The Good Guy, a romcom also starring Andrew McCarthy, Anna Chlumsky, and several other of your formative crushes. [THR]
· Studio, a show about Studio 54 and set in that cokeopolis’s heyday, is coming to Showtime, with Bryan Singer in talks to direct the pilot “if his schedule permits.” We have a feeling it’ll permit. [THR]
· Family Guy showrunner David A. Goodman will adapt Last Blood—a comic about “human survivors of a zombie massacre who find themselves protected by a band of vampires who need their blood to survive”—into a feature. (”That reminds me of the time we feasted on Zsa Zsa Gabor at Frank Sinatra’s house in Palm Springs. [Cue flashback].”) [THR]
