OSCARS: Eddie Murphy Says He Isn’
EXCLUSIVE: Denis O’Hare is set to co-star opposite Connie Britton in American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s drama pilot for FX. Murphy is set to direct the pilot, from 20th Century Fox, which will shoot next month, after Murphy and Falchuk wrap production on Glee.
FX and the producers are keeping the premise of American Horror Story under wraps, but a breakdown for the pilot lists its main characters as Ben Harmon, a sensitive therapist, and Vivien Harmon (Britton), his gorgeous wife who is a force to be reckoned with in spite of her vulnerable demeanor. O’Hare will play Larry, also referred to as “Larry the burn guy”. It is unclear if the “burn” part is metaphorical or living up to the “horror” portion in the title of the show. Murphy and Falchuk are executive producing American Horror Story with Dante Di Loreto. The pilot is being eyed for a fall series launch on FX. O’Hare, who co-starred on HBO’s True Blood last season, has been recurring on CBS’ The Good Wife.
Friday Night Lights star Connie Britton has lined up her next TV series project. She is set as the female lead in American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s drama pilot for FX. Murphy is set to direct the pilot, from 20th Century Fox, which will shoot next month, after Murphy and Falchuk wrap production on Glee.

EXCLUSIVE: Glee creator Ryan Murphy just finished an episode of his hit show that is devoted to the camp classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show. By the time it airs October 26, Murphy might be in a deal to direct the feature film remake. I’m told that he’s being courted by Fox 2000 to direct a remake of the 1975 musical, which has grossed north of $100 million and is considered the longest running theatrical release in film history because it still packs the faithful into midnight shows. The project is taking shape at Fox 2000, with Peter Chernin producing along with Lou Adler.
Murphy hasn’t committed, but he has met. Aside from being very hands on with his hit show, Murphy is also exploring a spring start to direct Mark Ruffalo in The Normal Heart, a feature adaptation of the Larry Kramer play about AIDS written when the disease was a death sentence and nobody seemed to be helping. Murphy also got paid $5 million from Sony Pictures Entertainment to write and direct a romantic comedy that would re-team him with his Eat, Pray, Love star Julia Roberts. The original Rocky Horror Picture Show, written by cast member Richard O’Brien and director Jim Sharman, launched Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick and had a cast that included O’Brien, Nell Campbell and Meat Loaf in a … Read More
Two of 20th Century Fox TV’s top showrunners, Ryan Murphy and Howard Gordon, have come together to create a new drama project which is in negotiations to land at Fox. The size of the penalty is still being worked out but, given the caliber of the auspices, it is expected to be a put pilot. Murphy and Gordon will co-write and executive the untitled project, described as a high-concept character-driven procedural that deals with making people face their worst fears and phobias. It centers on a psychiatrist, “the person people go to when everything else has failed,” Gordon said at the Humanitas Prize luncheon today. The drama will have supernatural elements but will revolve around broader mysteries in the vein of The X-Files, a series on which Gordon served as a writer-producer. “We all are afraid of something, and fears keep us from living our lives,” he said. As for joining forces with Murphy, Gordon said 20th TV brass jokingly refers to the combo as “leather and lace.”
Murphy and Gordon are familiar faces at Fox. Murphy is the co-creator/executive producer/showrunner of the network’s breakout hit Glee, while Gordon was the long-time executive producer/showrunner of 24. Both have won an Emmy and a Goden Globe for their work on the series. Murphy is with CAA, Gordon is with WME.
