NEVERLAND - SYFY VIDEO: 'The Untold Origin of Peter Pan' Premieres Sunday, December 4, 2011 at 9/8C
The 2-night Syfy Original Movie event Neverland Dec. 4 & 5 at 9/8c.
Before Peter met Wendy. Before Hook became captain. They had to discover Neverland. Syfy Original Event coming this December.
Cast includes Rhys Ifans as James Hook, Anna Friel as Captain Elizabeth Bonny, Charles Dance, Q'orianka Kilcher, Charlie Rowe as Peter Pan, Bob Hoskins, Keira Knightley (the voice of Tinker Bell) and Raoul Trujillo. Written and directed by Nick Willing ("Tin Man," and "Alice").
Raised on the streets of turn-of-the century London, orphaned Peter and his pals survive by their fearless wits as cunning young pickpockets. Now, they've been rounded up by their mentor Jimmy Hook to snatch a priceless, some believe, magical treasure which transports them to another world. Neverland is a realm of white jungles and legendary mysteries of eternal youth, where unknown friends and enemies snatched from time welcome the new travelers with both excitement and trepidation. These groups include a band of 18th century pirates led by the power-mad Elizabeth Bonny, and the Native American Kaw tribe led by a Holy Man, which has protected the secret of the tree spirits from Bonny and her gang for ages, and that has meant war. But as the fight to save this strange and beautiful world becomes vital, Hook, Peter, and the ragamuffin lost boys consider that growing old somewhere in time could be less important than growing up, right here in their new home called Neverland.

... Castle
10:01-11 PM ABC
Remember when that sniper shot Beckett (Stana Katic) last season? So does Beckett. When a new sharpshooting psycho begins picking off (random?) New Yorkers, the detective must deal with her unresolved trauma and, in doing so, grapple with another source of psychic pain: the still-unsolved mystery of her murdered mother. The sniper stuff is riveting, but Beckett's twitchy, jumpy, and vertiginous experience of PTSD is less convincing. Like her, we're ready to move on.

HELL ON WHEELS - SHOW PATROL: 'Sanctuary' star Christopher Heyerdahl ignites 'Hell on Wheels'
By Curt Wagner
November 13, 2011
Christopher Heyerdahl’s name is synonymous with such characters as John Druitt and Bigfoot of “Sanctuary,” Todd the Wraith of “Stargate Atlantis” and the vampire Marcus in the “Twilight” films.
Add to that list The Swede, his menacing character in AMC’s post-Civil War Western, “Hell on Wheels.”
“Isn’t he amazing? What a great character, huh,” Heyerdahl said during a recent interview, giving credit to pretty much everyone on the production but himself.
Yet Heyerdahl turns in the unforgettable, Emmy-worthy performance as The Swede, who is actually a Norwegian survivor of the Confederate prison at Andersonville. As head of security for railroad boss Doc Durant (Colm Meaney), The Swede (real name Tor Gundersen) suspects that Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) of murder.
Heyerdahl, who had just finished about six hours of “Sanctuary” ADR for Biggie, called from Vancouver for a wide-ranging chat about how he tapped his Norwegian heritage to play The Swede, what's coming for Biggie on “Sanctuary” and about the upcoming “Twilight: Breaking Dawn...”
... Q: He’s just doing his job, right?
Christopher Heyerdahl: "Well, I don’t even know if it’s so much doing a job as much as it’s always circumstantial, right? Everyone has to survive in this town. It’s not called Hell on Wheels for just a fun little name. It’s filled with murderers and thieves and someone who would steal the last penny out of their mother’s purse. These people are there, not just because they’re out of work, but because they’re all running away from something. Every single person there is running away from something or perhaps they’ve convinced themselves they’re running to something.
And they’re not law-abiding citizens. It’s not like the nice, friendly little town in the West where people are setting up a nice little shops and taking their kids to school. No, this is a very violent place. What’s the saying? “One less every day.”
People are dying or being killed through one action or another in this town. And he’s the guy who has to try and keep body and soul, law and order together in a lawless place. Do that by being understanding and cuddly? No, you got to lay down the law..."
The team races the clock to find a sniper who has been terrorizing New York before another life is lost. Beckett (Stana Katic) tries to keep Castle (Nathan Fillion) and her fellow detectives from discovering that her post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms are getting worse in the new episode "Kill Shot." Michael Dorn ("Star Trek: The Next Generation") guest stars.

GRIMM - NEWS OK: Actor Silas Weir Mitchell talks about the new NBC drama “Grimm” and playing a were-creature
BY MELISSA HAYER
November 21, 2011
Who's afraid of the big, bad Blutbad?
“Monroe,” a reformed werewolf creature called a Blutbad, hopes no one is.
Actor Silas Weir Mitchell's character is just trying to live a normal life among humans in the new drama “Grimm,” the series inspired by the classic Grimm's Fairy Tales and which airs at 8 p.m. Fridays on NBC.
Mitchell appeared as convicted killer Glen Ake in the movie “Heaven's Rain,” which was filmed and set in Oklahoma, but he's back on television with “Grimm.”
Monroe assists Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) in solving crimes perpetrated by other creatures who don't want to be as good as he is.
Burkhardt has discovered he's a descendant of an elite line of criminal profilers known as “Grimms” who are charged with the responsibility of keeping balance between humanity and the mythological beings of the world.
The pair build a friendship as they work together on this mission.
Philadelphia native Mitchell, whose acting resume includes appearances on television shows such as “Prison Break,” “My Name Is Earl” and “24,” answered questions about “Grimm” and his role on the show during a recent NBC phone conference call...
... Q: Is there any makeup involved in your transformation, or is it entirely CGI?
Silas Weir Mitchell: "No, it's not. It's both. The idea is that it's CGI on top of makeup, but you still can tell that it's my face. There's a lot of stuff that goes into it, but the three ingredients really are prosthetics, computer graphics and my face.
Because the idea is that when someone morphs, they don't just turn into a werewolf quote unquote, like generic, or someone is like a ... beetle creature, or you know, whatever. They don't just turn into a beetle, they turn into their beetle, you know what I mean?
They turn into what they would look like as this creature, so they really make an effort to fuse the prosthetics and the CGI in such a way that you can tell that it's me underneath it. And they do that with other creatures that are coming down the pike..."
