Horton, Lucas, McG: Variety in 60 seconds

by Kat Parr, posted Jun 14th 2005 6:46PM

  • Peter HortonRemember that guy from thirtysomething? Well, he's a director now (his name is Peter Horton), and he's signed on to produce and direct Grey's Anatomy for the next two years.
  • George Lucas's Steven Spielberg's* TNT mini-series, Into the West, has been snatched up by the BBC for an enormous sum, and whoops, now the BBC is being scolded for driving up the prices of U.S. entertainment "imports." West hit over 6 million viewers on it's premiere last Friday.
  • Oh no, it's Mel Gibson again. He's going to be the executive producer of Sundance Channel's Came So Far from Beauty, a doc about musician Leonard Cohen.
  • Remember McG's one-season Fastlane on FOX? Yeah, me neither. But just in case you're interested, Court TV just grabbed the rights to re-air the series starting this July 2nd, so watch away.
*[thanks, Caleb and RadioScott for alerting me of my error. Sometimes, in this crazy blog world, we screw up in horrible, terrible ways, like spelling 'the' hte, and transplanting one famous director's name on another's face. Frankly, we think Spielberg and Lucas should be surgically attached to each other and be done with it.]

RadioScott is sooo right! FastLane was killer! Do your self a favor and DO NOT WATCH IT! You'll hate that you'll never get any shows after it runs. Maybe they'll put it on DVD and sales will be good enough to bring it back. Stupid cliffhanger season finales... PS Of course, you should watch the episode where Tiffani and Jamie Pressley make out in a hot tub...that one RAWKS!

Caleb beat me to it, albeit with a ruder tone than I would've taken. It's kind of funny though how many people seem to think Spielberg and Lucas are the same guy. Fastlane was an unbelievably kick-ass show! It was hip, funny and had action sequences that I still remember to this day. And it had Tiffani-Amber Thiessen for cryin' out loud! I wish I could set my TiVo season pass already. And here's to more posts that start with the word "remember!" LOL

Into the West is from Speilberg not George Lucas... get your facts right before you blog.
