Question:
I am so glad to hear that Everwood creator Greg Berlanti is now collaborating with the writing team for Brothers & Sisters. This show has been a big question mark for me (along with Six Degrees), but I have been looking forward to trying it out. It has a great cast, appealing promos and now a fantastic writer! Do you think Berlanti's involvement has the potential to make this my Everwood semireplacement?
Answer: The news that Berlanti is giving
Brothers a creative hand is one of the few positive headlines I've heard lately. I'm still not sure a show like this can fill the
Everwood void, though. Also on the
Brothers & Sisters front, Ryan wonders: "I heard a rumor they are reshooting the pilot of
Brothers & Sisters without
Dan Futterman! Say it ain't so! He had great chemistry with
Calista Flockhart in
The Birdcage, and in the scene available on the Web from the original pilot. I was ecstatic when he returned to
Judging Amy in 2004 and saddened that it was the show's final season. I had so hoped he would be on TV a little more." Alas, it's true — he's not part of the show. He's currently making a movie in which he plays slain journalist
Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and killed while researching a story in Pakistan. (Given his success with the Oscar-nominated
Capote screenplay, it makes sense that he's spending more time on the movie side of the biz right now.)
