[News] Ringer

Le pilote ne sera finalement pas du tout sur la CW :

Citation :

Despite earlier reports, Sarah Michelle Gellar’s new pilot Ringer is not going to be picked up by The CW, because they can’t afford it. Turns out CBS felt the series didn’t fit their demographic.

Une autre information contradictoire vient de paraître sur Deadline, la série aurait été choisie par la CW !!! On devrait donc voir la série être diffusée dès la rentrée !

CW To Pick Up New Reality Series 'H8R' That Pairs Celebrities With Their Haters

I hear the CW is picking up to series H8R, an one-hour reality project from Warner Horizon, which pairs people with celebrities they absolutely detest. Additionally, I hear that the series pickup deal for the Sarah Michelle Gellar-starring mystery drama RINGER at the CW is now done. The network is expected to unveil both series at its upfront presentation on Thursday.

Mario Lopez hosts H8R, in which celebrities confront their biggest haters and try to convince them that their animosity is misdirected. The CW first ordered a pilot for the project, which featured reality stars Snooki and Kim Kardashian. The pilot has been red-hot at the CW. The network for years has been looking for a new big, loud reality series to join America's Next Top Model, and I hear the feeling internally is that this might be it. H8R also represents some Time Warner synergy as it comes from a team that works on the Telepictures-produced entertainment newsmagazine Extra. Extra host Lopez is executive producing H8R with Extra senior executive producer Lisa Gregorisch-Dempsey and co-executive producer Jeremy Spiegel. Warner Horizon's reality division has been on a roll lately. It is also behind NBC's breakout hit The Voice.

Laquelle version est vraie ??

Justement, je n'en sais rien... Je pense qu'il faut attendre que la chaîne elle-même diffuse l'information avant de s'emballer. En attendant, les sources ne sont pas toujours sûres.

Ca part dans tous les sens, un coup oui, un coup non... mais bon, je pense que le nouveau président est suffisamment intelligent pour ne pas laisser passer cette chance. Je pense VRAIMENT que Ringer pourrait devenir un hit sur la CW, s'il y a une bonne promo et si, évidemment, la série est bonne (ce qui n'est pas gagné d'avance). Les seuls problèmes qui pourraient être posés, c'est bien le manque de moyens de la CW qui est complètement en faillite depuis quelques années avec les audiences catastrophiques de ses séries. D'ailleurs, c'est aussi pourquoi je suis un peu mitigé, j'aurais préféré que SMG fasse son retour sur une "grande" chaîne... M'enfin, le plus important, c'est 1) que la série aboutisse à l'écran, 2) qu'elle soit bonne.

Bon, cette fois, c'est officiel, la série sera diffusée par la CW !!! ^^

Tassler on how "Ringer" went to The CW: "I can only speak from my point of view. I don't how what happened behind the scenes at The CW but I know for us we were really excited about developing the show. It was a spec script that we got our hands on. We thought it was a very unique concept. We were really excited about Sarah Michelle Gellar. And it could have been on our schedule. I mean, like I said, we had no more time periods. And it tested well, it screened well, people really liked it... and Sarah Michelle Gellar is a force to be reckoned with. I mean she's got a huge fanbase. I kid you not, when we bought the script the e-mails started coming in: pick it up. I'm like, we just bought it."

CBS developed seven drama pilots for the 2011-12 season, and five of them are going forward as series. Only four, however, will actually air on CBS.

The fifth is "Ringer," the Sarah Michelle Gellar-starring thriller that will air on The CW in the fall. According to CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler, the move isn't indicative of any lack of quality in "Ringer." It had more to do with a lack of space on CBS' schedule for next season.

"I don't know what happened behind the scenes vis a vis The CW. I know for us, we were really excited about developing the show," Tassler said Wednesday (May 18) at CBS' upfront press breakfast. "We thought it was a very unique concept, we were really excited about Sarah Michelle Gellar -- and it could have been on our schedule. Like I said, we had no more time periods."

CBS renewed most of its current series for next season, so that didn't leave Tassler a lot of room on the schedule for new shows (two comedies and three dramas will air in the fall, and another drama, "The 2-2," is on deck for midseason). "Ringer" just fell victim to a numbers game.

"Sarah Michelle Gellar is a force to be reckoned with -- she's got a huge fan base," Tassler says. "And I kid you not -- when we bought the script, the e-mails started coming in: 'Pick it up.' I'm like, we just bought it! From Idaho, everywhere. She's got a very loyal fan base, and god bless them, they're going to be sitting and waiting for that show to show up on The CW."

The CW will offer up the first look at "Ringer" at its upfront on Thursday.

The CW has picked up three new dramas for its upcoming 2011-12 season.

According to various reports, the network has added Ringer, The Secret Circle and Hart of Dixie to its slate of programming.

As was claimed last week, Sarah Michelle Gellar's thriller series Ringer has been ordered for a full season, having been turned down by the show's original target CBS.

The programme follows Gellar's character as a woman on the run from the mob who hides out by assuming the identity of her twin sister. It also features Ioan Gruffudd, Nestor Carbonell and Kristoffer Polaha.

The CW is scheduled to hold its upfront presentation on Thursday in New York.

Super nouvelle!

D'accord avec Ludo, HBO, c'est plus prestigieux. Je trouve que c'est dommage aussi. Du coup on n'est pas près de voir la série sur M6 ou TF1 (déjà qu'on n'a plus de film le dimanche soir à cause des restrictions budgétaires...)

Mais même si la CW n'est pas une méga-chaîne, ils ont l'air de dire que les premiers tests de visionnage sont bons, que SMG est un atout à considérer et que les fans ont envahi la chaîne d'e-mails. Ils sont au moins sûrs d'avoir une base de spectateurs pour la saison 1.

Pourvu que ce ne soit pas un nanar...

Oui, apparemment, les fans de Sarah ont vraiment envahi la chaîne d'e-mails, c'est une excellente chose et ça a parfaitement pu jouer dans la balance qui les a mené à choisir Ringer ! Vive les fans, sérieux

Je suis curieuse de voir la série et je croise les doigts pour que mon intérêt soit éveillé...

Voici les deux premières photos promotionnelles de la série !

Spoiler:

La case horaire de la diffusion de Ringer vient par ailleurs d'être annoncée, et ce sera le mardi soir (comme BTVS à l'époque ^^), à 21 h, sur la CW.

Sarah se trouve actuellement à un évènement de la CW pour présenter Ringer et nous pouvons voir le logo de la série ! (symbolisé par un double "N" ^^) :

Spoiler:

On a le premier trailer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
