Rose Byrne: TV Guide News

Damages Season 2 Preview: Will Ellen Take Down Patty? | Today's News: Our Take | 1/7/2009
Its first time around, FX's Damages dangled before viewers the season-long question of who killed aspiring legal eagle Ellen Parson's fiancé. Season 2, premiering Wednesday at 10 pm/ET, opens with a dead-serious Ellen talking to someone off-screen — whom she ultimately shoots. And then we flash back, in dramatic Damages style, to "Six Months Earlier." TVGuide.com invited Rose Byrne to shed as much light as she could on Ellen's dark missions of vengeance ahead.

TVGuide.com: Season 2 literally starts with a bang, doesn't it?
Rose Byrne: Yes, literally. It was a lot of fun to film. It's similar to last season, setting up the two different timelines.

TVGuide.com: Are you glad they held onto that framing device? I know there was a bit of pressure to make the show a bit...
Byrne: Clearer, yeah. We still have that catchy thing with the two timelines, to help build the mystery side of it. But I think it is clearer, not as complicated, if you will. It's not a murder, it's more about figuring out who Ellen is talking to [while holding the gun]. Over the course of the season, you can make your mind up.

TVGuide.com: How dark a place is Ellen at these days?
Byrne: Oh she's in the depths of grief and trauma and ... read more 17 Comments
The Joy of Sets: Damages, Tudors and Kick-Ass Cable Lesbians! | DVD News | 1/30/2008
Three good things about the writers' strike:1) No more Bionic Woman to disappoint us.2) Pepito the Wonder Chihuahua gets more "me" time.3) More chances to catch up on kick-ass cable shows on DVD!And let me tell you, that last one is a biggie, considering that a few cable shows I had to skip out on because of too many TiVo conflicts have just hit the shelves. One of them being FX's stellar, chilling Damages, which features quite possibly the single greatest performance of the last season. Is Golden Globe winner Glenn Close's Manhattan litigator Patty Hewes ingenious or pure evil? I'm not sure yet, but she is delicious nonetheless and I am having a hoot finding out.Centered around an Enron-type class-action suit against billionaire Arthur Frobisher — played with demonic menace by Ted Danson — the show should be about the case, since nobody does trial-angst better than Close (see Jagged Edge). But instead of courtrooms, we get boardrooms and some seriously twisted detours, co... read more
Sunshine — Blu-ray Review | DVD News | 1/27/2008
The year is 2057, the sun is dying, and mankind faces extinction. Earth's last hope rests with the crew of Icarus II, on a mission to deliver a nuclear payload into the center of the sun. Icarus I failed the same mission 7 years earlier, but no one knows why; can the crew of Icarus II save mankind?This Blu-ray disc is loaded with interesting bonus material, and is the first "Bonus View" (aka Profile 1.1) title from Fox. There are two commentary tracks for the feature, one featuring director Danny Boyle, and the other with Dr. Brian Cox from the University of Manchester.Both commentary tracks were fascinating! Boyle had lots to say about the movie, the production, and the actors. He spoke through the entire movie, without the long pauses that plague so many single-person commentary tracks. Dr. Cox, the scientific advisor on the movie, did an incredible job of sharing his wealth of scientific knowledge on his commentary. He clearly had a lot of fun working on the movie, and I loved li... read more
New Blood at the Globes | Matt Roush | 12/13/2007
If the barometer of an interesting TV awards show is the number of fresh faces invited to the party, then the Golden Globe nominations (announced Thursday morning) passes the test. Not with a perfect score, mind you. Any institution that so completely ignores NBC's wonderful Friday Night Lights deserves some spirited jeering.And the Globes' addiction to sexy sizzle and hype can lead to some puzzling choices: Big Love, fun as it is, over The Sopranos' final season? Bill Paxton over James Gandolfini? (And if the Globes is going to shower love on Big Love, how could the women who play Bill's wives go unheralded, especially Ginnifer Goodwin?) Californication over Weeds?But let's look at the bright side. The Hollywood Foreign Press clearly spent some time checking out the TV landscape during last summer's remarkable season of cable breakthroughs. My own pick for No. 1 show of the year, AMC's Mad Men, is nominated for best drama, along with its dashing leading man, Jon Hamm. FX's Damages,... read more
Assessing Damages: Burning Finale Questions Answered! | Today's News: Our Take | 10/26/2007
Has Arthur Frobisher snorted his last line off a hooker's bosom? Was Patty truly behind Ellen's attempted murder? And how does Patty's ill-fated teen pregnancy fit into it all? Shortly after the first-season finale of FX's Damages, TVGuide.com asked the series' creators — Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman and Glenn Kessler — to fill in some blanks. Plus, the latest word on a possible Season 2 pickup. TVGuide.com: First up, Arthur Frobisher — is he dead?Todd A. Kessler: It all depends on whether he is able to make a phone call there in the field and save himself. But we were so thrilled with Ted Danson read more
