TELEVISION PILOT for The CW: "Nashville" with Bomer & Paisley

2009-12-14T19:56:52Z

This was announced in Variety a month ago or so, and we'll be talking more about it in the new year, along with other projects. But we wanted to officially post something here about our company producing a television series pilot for The CW Network called "NASHVILLE". The series takes place in the world of country music and is set in the title city. It's a scripted hourlong drama about the amazing music, struggles, and victories of a new young female country artist and a songwriter who's trying to find his way.

The series was created and written by Before The Door partner Neal Dodson and the star of USA network's "WHITE COLLAR" - actor Matt Bomer. Writer Mark Schwahn, who created "ONE TREE HILL" for The CW, will direct and executive produce. We're also thrilled that country star Brad Paisley, a dear friend of Neal, Matt, and Zachary, will be a producer as well. Brad will be writing and overseeing the music for show, sometimes appearing as himself, and bringing his relationships in Nashville to bear on the series.

More details to follow soon. We're very excited for this to be the first television project from Before The Door Pictures...

- CM, ND, and ZQ

MR MURDER: Quinaz Interviewed on Newsarama

2009-09-24T17:52:45Z

Here's a new Vaneta Rogers interview on Newsarama with writer Victor Quinaz about his upcoming graphic novel collaboration with Before The Door and Archaia called "MR. MURDER IS DEAD".

Excerpt:

As Gould begins to investigate a murder, the reader will see flashbacks, but they will be told through the comic strip.

"The flashbacks will all be told through the point of view of the fictional character -- the meta-fictional character of The Spook, which is this long-running comic book character, since the 1950s, that was based on Gould Kane in his hey-day, when he was catching crooks and garnering the favor of the public," Quinaz said.

"We have flashbacks that reflect different time periods in his life. So the '50s will have that real comic strip look, and then in the '60s, you'll start seeing mutton chops and a little more grit. The '70s will dive more into shadow, and the '80s will really get dark until finally, the '90s will be almost be an interpretation of the former Spook," he said.

McMillian speaks about Fangirls: Newsarama

2009-09-18T19:28:19Z

Before The Door has its own in-house fangirl explorer - our comic book writer Michael McMillian.

Here's an article on Newsarama where Michael espouses on the rise of the fangirl. We promise that his comic book series that he's currently writing for Before The Door and Archaia will satisfy everyone, regardless of gender.

Actor/writer Michael McMillian has seen more than one side of fandom, both in his role on the HBO vampire series "True Blood" and as part of the comics' community while writing the upcoming magic-based comic "Lucid" for publisher Archaia.

McMillian pointed out that while female readers were the target of the Sookie Stackhouse book series on which "True Blood" is based, the television show has appealed to both sexes -- something he tends to think is possible for any good story. But he recognizes that while men and women may like the same stories, their attraction and response may be a little different.

"When someone's passionate about something, it tends to transcend gender lines. I loved Sean McKeever's run on 'Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane,'" the actor said of the teen-centered comic book, "but I'm pretty sure that wasn't written with me in mind. I do think, however, from watching my niece and nephew play 'Star Wars' together, guys still tend to be a bit more violent in their role-play, while girls seem to be drawn into interpersonal relations between characters."
