SF TRILOGY "THE FOURTH REALM" TO BE ADAPTED INTO A MOVIE

"Hollywood Reporter" informs us that Fox has bought the rights to John Twelve Hawks' the "Fourth Realm" sci-fi trilogy, and "Watchmen" co-writer Alex Tse will adapt it.

The first book, titled "The Traveler" was set in a U.S. society run by a secret organization seeking to control the population via constant observation. Seeking to rebel against these constraints are an almost extinct group of people called Travelers, who can project their spirit into other dimensions, and their protectors, called Harlequins. The main character was a reluctant Harlequin named Maya who had to protect two naive Traveler brothers.
The books were best-sellers but the author himself is especially interesting. Hawks is extremely reclusive according to his publisher "Random House", and neither his editor nor agent has ever met him. Hawks, seemingly intent on imitating some of his characters' lifestyles, communicates only via a voice scrambler and untraceable satellite phone, and during the book tour he uses stand-ins.

A BUNCH OF NEW COMEDY PILOTS COMING TO TV

A whole bunch of comedy pilots is in preparation currently, and it's nice to hear that since

somehow I have a feeling that the golden age of great sitcoms has passed, and I'm not happy about that. Here are some of the upcoming shows:
Jane Kaczmarek and Adam Arkin will star in ABC's comedy pilot "Who Gets the Parents?", joining Andrew West and Derek Richardson. The story will revolve around a couple (Kaczmarek and Arkin), who, after 30 years of marriage, are getting a divorce and take on more active roles in the lives of their three adult children. West will play the super smart youngest child, and Richardson will play the sensitive middle child.

Already known in the comedy department, Leah Remini (pic above) is returning to TV as a lead in ABC's comedy pilot "It Takes a Village". The story will revolve around exes Karen (Remini) and Howard and their new significant others, who join forces to raise their 15-year-old boy.

Fox's "Most Likely to Succeed" will be about a group of friends who were once superstars in high school but now face the reality of adulthood. Kaitlin Doubleday will play Becca, once voted "most popular" but recently divorced from her cheating ex-husband.

"Freshmen", from 20th TV, is the comedy about three freshmen members of Congress (one played by Sarah Chalke)(lower pic) who live together in D.C. Taran Killam will play Chalke's personal assistant, a go-getter.

NBC's comedy pilot "This Little Piggy" centers on a family man (Ben Koldyke) forced to take in his two adult siblings, who have fallen on hard times.

Suhag Ki Woh Raat

Kaisi thi woh raat kuch keh sakta nahi main
Chahoon kehna to bayan kar sakta nahi mai,

Dulhan ban ke meri jab woh bahoon main aayee thi
Sej saji thi phoolon ki par us ne mehkai thi,

Ghunghat mein ik chand tha aur sirf tanhai thi
Awaaz dil ke dhadak ne ki bhi phir zor se aayee thi,

Pyar se jo maine ghunghat chand par se hataya tha
Pyar ka rang bhi utarkar uske chehre par aya tha,

Bahoon mein le kar usko phir laboo ki lali churai thi
Us sard raat mein saanse bhi shola ban kar takrai thi,

Tika,bindi,kangna, payal sabne shor machaya tha
Jab uske shokh badan ko maine haath lagaya tha,

Doob gaye the hum dono us dehekti pyar ki aag mein
Tod diya tha hum ne kaliyo ko uske pyar ke baag mein,

Kya batlaaye ab hum, woh raat kis kadar nirali thi
Hamare suhag ki woh raat,jo itni matwali thi……..

LISA SEE'S "PEONY IN LOVE" TO BE ADAPTED INTO A MOVIE

According to "Movieweb" Erin Cressida Wilson will adapt Lisa See's novel "Peony in Love", which deals with the difficulties and oppression facing women in 17th century China.

The story revolves around a young woman who starves herself to death after falling in love with a man she fears she'll never be allowed to wed. She comes up with her plan after seeing the Chinese opera "The Peony Pavilion" which tells a similar tale. A large part of See's book takes place after the young heroine has died, as she encounters a series of ghosts, including her dead grandmother, who impart their own experiences.
As you already know, the popular Chinese-American author Lisa See already has another of her bestselling novels scheduled for adaptation for 2011. Director Wayne Wang is making a movie out of her book "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" with Hugh Jackman in the lead role.

NEW TV SPOT FOR "THE LAST AIRBENDER"

Although some people believe this movie could spark up director's M. Night Shyamalan's frozen career, there are many who think this movie will not rise to the occasion. We shall have to wait and see.
