STARRY CONSTELLATION MAGAZINE: EDDIE IZZARD, THOMAS VITALI AND ROBERT HALMI, SR. INTERVIEW - TREASURE ISLAND

by: Jamie Steinberg
April 2012


[NOTE: Treasure Island airs as a four-hour movie event on Syfy, Saturday, May 5, 2012 beginning at 7/6C.]


... Q) Can you, all of you actually, kind of talk about how you first became involved in the project?

Robert Halmi, Sr.: "Well how I was involved, I was asked by Sky in England to become Exec Producer to produce it. Sky had a script which wasn't too good. So it had to be redone and (Sanksas), wonderful writer, redid it. And they had to find a director and my good friend Steve Barron came on board who really is the responsible how this picture looks like, the look of it, which is fantastic. And you know as Eddie said, "We had to film in incredible weather." I mean nobody - even the cameras were blown away it was such a storm. I personally was blown from one set to another, and then in Puerto Rico with the heat. But that gave the reality to this piece. Because of the pirate's times in the end of the 1700's, and the beginning 1800's, was the most romantic period in the water. They were incredible characters, and John Silver represents the composite of those wonderful characters. There's so much - so many sides of it and it is so exciting. And it also - this movie, this book, started depicting how a pirate should look like with one leg missing and a parrot on the shoulder. That started with this book and I must say Eddie had on the crutches and with one leg back behind his back. It was a very physical demand on the actors and especially on Eddie."

Eddie Izzard: "Yes, I should speak up with that because I was asked if I wanted to do it. I think it was Sky that came to me first. Actually it was through another production company working with Sky. And they said, "Do you want to it?" And I said, "Well I'd like to do it, but I'll only do it if the script is - has teeth and is gritty." Because I feel the story has been portrayed in a somewhat lighter fashion over the years and has got watered down. So I said, "It's got to be harder than Pirates of the Caribbean," which is fun, but sort of fun and a bit flotsam and jetsam. I wanted something with teeth. So that was me coming in. And we went to the script, Stewart Harcourt in the end came up with the final version of the script that we did, which had teeth in it. Working on the crutch I must say, "Is tricky." I didn't actually have my foot strapped up in the back, but the green screen took it out. But I never used my right foot, it never actually touched the ground in any scene. So even if they said, "Oh we're shooting you from the waist up," I just never put it down, I just wanted to be in there. And it's very hard to use just one crutch. Normally you'd use two crutches and you'd have a crossbar but I just used one. So the toughness of doing that added in to the character. But I have run 43 marathons - well three years ago I ran 42 marathons in 51 days, and so Steve Barron saw me do that and thought, "Well this guy can play Long John Silver because of the determination..."

Thomas Vitale: "And from the network side we've had such a longstanding relationship with the Halmi Company, and they've given SyFy some of its best, highest rated, most popular and highest quality programming, including Tin Man, which is SyFy's highest rated thing ever, that any time we have an opportunity to with Mr. Halmi we are honored to work with him and to pick up his programming. And this is a special project and we're just thrilled that we were able to work with him on it..."

Renewal

... Question: Like all Fringe fans, I am delighted by the news that Fringe has been renewed for a 13-episode final season. I am relieved that Fox found a way to make it happen, despite the fact that Fringe is not exactly prospering as far as ratings are concerned. However, while I have been nervous about the uncertain future of Fringe all season, I had long expected that Fox would give Fringe a chance to end properly, and here's why:

1. At this point, Fringe is an established show. If this had been Fringe getting renewed for a second or even third season, it would not have surprised me if Fox had pulled the plug on it, considering the ratings. But this is a show going into a fifth season. By this point, both Fox and fans have invested a lot in the show. It has been allowed to get this far, and it only seems reasonable that it be allowed closure. 2. Fringe is well loved by critics, fans and Fox executives alike. Sure, a network loves all its shows and wants them all to succeed. But I've always gotten the impression that Fox executives had a more personal interest in Fringe, almost like they too were invested in seeing how the show would end. In any case, knowing how committed Fringe fans are, it seems the smartest move Fox could make would be to renew the show for one final run with enough notice that fans could prepare themselves and show-runners could properly wrap things up. 3. Fringe has been in the Friday night death slot. Fox would have to take that into consideration as well when making the renewal decision.

All that said, I've seen various statements claiming that all of these considerations are meaningless and the one and only reason Fox renewed Fringe was because they got an amazing deal from Warner Bros. I've seen it suggested that Fox executives could care less if fans love Fringe if that is not reflected in the ratings. While I completely understand that Fox is a business and they are not in the business of losing money, I believe that Fringe is one of those rare exceptions where there was more factoring in to their decision than the ratings and the deal. It just seems narrow-minded for that to be the only reason to renew Fringe. And if that really was all that mattered to Fox, I don't think they would have tried so hard to renew Fringe. What are your thoughts? Was Fringe in a unique position? Does it really not matter to Fox how much support fans have shown Fringe? — Michelle


Matt Roush: Of course it matters. All of it matters. The survival of Fringe into an unlikely fifth season is a testament to the value of viewers' engagement with a show, even if it isn't reflected in the same-night ratings. Fringe's situation really is a perfect storm of circumstances where everything plays a part in the argument for renewal. If Fringe weren't so well and thoughtfully executed, it would be gone. If the media hadn't embraced it, it would be gone. If Fox didn't believe in it, it would be gone. If it aired on another night of the week, where it dragged down ratings that made more of a difference, it would be gone. If Warner Bros. didn't make it financially feasible for Fox to take it to the end, it would be gone. It's wrong to oversimplify this extraordinary renewal as merely a business decision (although that's part of it), because if Fringe weren't this special, none of it would have mattered...

VARIETY: Composer Joel Goldsmith dies at 54

Son of Jerry Goldsmith specialized in sci-fi scores for film, TV

Mon., Apr. 30, 2012
By Jon Burlingame

Joel Goldsmith, Emmy-nominated composer for TV's "Stargate" series, died Sunday at his home in Hidden Hills, Calif., after a long battle with cancer. He was 54.

The son of Oscar-winning composer Jerry Goldsmith, he programmed synthesizers on some of his father's 1970s and 1980s scores including "Runaway." But the younger Goldsmith established his own musical career in the late 1970s and early 1980s, scoring sci-fi and horror films including "Laserblast," "The Man With Two Brains" and "Moon 44."

It was in television, however, that Goldsmith found his niche, composing the music for more than 350 episodes in the "Stargate" franchise alone, including most of "Stargate SG-1" and all of "Stargate Atlantis" and "Stargate Universe." He also scored the "Stargate" videos "The Ark of Truth" and "Continuum."

He received three Emmy nominations: for an episode of "Stargate SG-1," for the theme for "Stargate Atlantis" and for an episode of "Stargate Atlantis..."

TV GUIDE: Ask Matt: House, Once vs. Grimm, Fringe Renewal

Apr 30, 2012
by Matt Roush


Send your questions and comments to askmatt@tvguidemagazine.com and follow on Twitter!


Question: ... For us, the most entertaining new show of 2011-12 is Once Upon A Time, but, like us, when you started watching, did you get the impression that the show might be the victim of its own success? After all, when the heroine rescues everyone, the show's over — which might take years — but that's what we've all tuned in to see at the end of this year. Now we love the show: They've done a wonderful, creative job within the bounds of the traditional characters and stories (and no ugly sweaters in sight), but doesn't any show having a singular pillar holding it up have to feel the strain from the diametrically opposed force from the obvious commercial need to keep such a popular show in production? How long do you think the show can postpone its resolution before it devolves into "How I Met Your (Fairly God) Mother"? — Wes From Cincinnati


Matt Roush: ... your question about Once, so cleverly phrased, touches on the challenge facing any high-concept premise: how to keep it going in the long run without frustrating viewers (who'd like to see the Evil Queen vanquished, and soon), which often means finding a way to reinvent and refresh the show from season to season while staying faithful to the spirit and tone of the conflict that drew us to the show in the first place. There's no easy way to handle any of this, but the fun is in watching them try.


Question: It's been a while since we saw Belle's character on Once Upon a Time and wondered if the show has any plans of exposing the truth about where she is being held and who is holding her, and Regina knowing that she is alive and not dead. Or do the writers plan to just let this go and focus on other plots? — Estela


Matt Roush: I try not to get ahead of where the story is going on shows like this, but I think it's fair to assume (given these producers' track records) that all of these characters will be revisited at some point, when it helps drive the plot. That includes Belle.


Question: Now that the season is winding down, what are your thoughts about Grimm vs. Once Upon a Time? When the two fairy-tale shows premiered last fall, I really thought I'd prefer Once Upon a Time, because Grimm looked too, well, grim. But now I enjoy Grimm tremendously, while Once Upon a Time is annoying me more and more each week! I find good character growth in Grimm, as Nick wrestles with the effects of his new calling on his relationship with his girlfriend, and I love his growing friendship with the Blutbad, Monroe. And it's a hoot watching him trying to keep Wesen from panicking every time they realize he's a Grimm! But Once Upon a Time is getting boring and frustrating for me and I'm not keeping up with it anymore. What's your take on these two shows? — Pat

Matt Roush: Regarding the frustration element of Once, see the earlier question. It comes with the territory. My take on these fairy-tale-derived shows is that they're very different creations aimed at very different sorts of audiences. Once Upon a Time is trying to reach as broad and demographically wide an audience as possible, which means it lapses frequently into the land of the corny, obvious and twee. But despite a few thudding episodes, and a general yearning to throttle the sanctimonious Mary Margaret — and how stupid is David for getting drawn into Regina's web (by lasagna?) — I tend to enjoy Once as a pleasurable, relaxing hour of mass-appeal entertainment. And there's nothing wrong with that. It's easily my favorite ABC show on Sundays now. I also figure if Once was going about it the way of Grimm, it might also be airing on Friday nights to a fraction of the audience. Which isn't a slam on Grimm, which has grown on me as well, as it has deepened its mythologies while finding its own clever horror twists on fairy-tale legends. I'm still not enamored with the lead Grimm, but I can't get enough of Monroe. Bottom line: I enjoy them both for what they are, and am not inclined to give one higher critical marks simply because it appeals to a passionate cult. One of the nicest surprises about this TV season is that both of these shows were able to defy expectations and find their own path to success...


Once Upon A Time airs Sunday at 8/7C on ABC.

Grimm airs Friday at 9/8C on NBC.

... GAME OF THRONES

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

The conflicts get more unavoidable and intense this week, as the various rulers move their pawns, and other pieces in their land-grabbing, iron-throne-seeking chess board, closer to the center – and to battle. Emilia Clarke’s Daenarys is only one of the people maneuvering boldly to claim the right to rule all the kingdoms – but she’s the only one with dragons, which she’s fully prepared to use, making her this fantasy story’s one potential superpower. “The time to strike is now,” she says, and though this is a game of thrones, she’s not playing around.
