October 7, 2002 - MIPCOM 2002
Cannes, France
Michael Biehn at MIPCOM 2002 for his new TV series "Adventure, Inc."
Without a Trace, starring Anthony LaPaglia, has done better than any Thursday CBS show in years.
Helped by the huge lead-in performance of CSI, TV's most watched program last week, Without a Trace attracted 15.9 million viewers last Thursday. Although the missing-persons drama trailed ER by nearly 9 million viewers, it was the best showing by a CBS series against a first-run ER since 1994.
Executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer says Trace "has had a real nice opening. We're starting to build an audience. Like CSI, it takes awhile."
Led by the dominance of CSI, which drew more than 30 million viewers, CBS enjoyed its first Thursday viewer win since April 2001 and one of its very few Thursday victories since the mid-1980s. NBC's strong Thursday lineup, led by ER, Friends and Will & Grace, easily triumphed in the battle for the young adults prized by advertisers, beating CBS by 28%.
Trace has performed much better than the show it replaced, The Agency. But it nevertheless lost nearly half of CSI's viewers, a large drop even considering that few shows come close to CSI in audience size.
Despite that loss, Trace is doing better than anything CBS has put against ER, says Chuck Bachrach of advertising firm Rubin Postaer and Associates.
"They should ride it out, as long as it meets guarantees to advertisers, damages ER a little bit and doesn't show major decreases on a regular basis," Bachrach says. "I think it's a better show than The Agency."
ER is down a bit this year -- 3% in the young-adult demographic -- but it still performs strongly, especially for a series in its ninth season, according to NBC. CBS' Thursday rise might be coming more at the expense of other network and cable competitors, Bachrach says.
Trace benefits from its post-CSI time slot, says Bruckheimer, who produces the two shows. Both are procedural dramas, which could help Trace attract CSI fans.
"We like process shows. They take you inside a world you can never be part of," Bruckheimer says of the popular TV format. Bruckheimer hires technical advisers to make sure depictions are accurate.
Process shows, such as NBC's Law & Order, also make for self-contained episodes, which have come into favor with network programmers who are concerned that time-strapped viewers won't commit to serialized plotlines. Serialized dramas also don't perform as well in syndication.
Bruckheimer says Trace "is about the cases," but viewers will see more of the characters' lives -- "whatever (issues) the individual would bring to work" -- than they do in CSI.
Anthony LaPaglia, who heads the Without a Trace ensemble, advocates character as well as procedure, which would set the series further apart from the style of CSI and Law & Order.
"Procedural without the personal is all too clinical and cold for me. I like to see hints of the personal," he says.
LaPaglia says the series, which also stars Poppy Montgomery, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Eric Close and Enrique Murciano, acknowledges the benefit of the huge CSI lead-in, but says his series is by no means a near-spinoff, as some have suggested. CSI deals with evidence and technology; Trace's elite New York team focuses on psychological profiling, he says.
Without a Trace also can have happy endings, such as rescued kidnapping victims. In the first three episodes, the Trace team saved people, but LaPaglia says they will fail to rescue victims in some upcoming shows.
"We lose some. We're going to have situations where we screw up," he says. "I like characters who are flawed."
LaPaglia, who had to go up against Seinfeld when he starred in the acclaimed but low-rated Murder One, says he's happy to be up against ER.
"I'd rather be up against a quality show and do well" than score high ratings against a lesser program, he says. Besides, "it's not like I think we're pulling viewers away from ER. We're finding another audience."
LaPaglia Returns With 'Trace'
By LYNN ELBER
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Anthony LaPaglia hit an artistic high with the 2001 film ``Lantana,'' in which he created a striking portrait of a police detective in full-blown midlife crisis.
It was such a fulfilling experience that the hardworking LaPaglia, at 42, toyed with the idea of giving up acting. He was lured back after a year off, however, by the CBS missing-persons drama ``Without a Trace.''
If that makes him sound like a dilettante retiree, forget it. He's so candid in assessing why few projects equal ``Lantana'' - or even try - that a listener fully believes LaPaglia would walk away from his craft.
``Sometimes I really get the chance to do something juicy and rise to the challenge. But, to be perfectly honest, by and large most stuff being made today has no substance whatsoever,'' he said.
``Lantana,'' one of the recent rare films that assumed moviegoers might be older than 25 and willing to invest time in the complex emotional lives of grown-up characters, became a benchmark for LaPaglia.
``I always said to myself if I could do one great movie in my life, I would be a happy man. Until 'Lantana,' I did not have that opportunity. And after I did 'Lantana' I felt I had done that movie.''
He found it to be both a ``blessing and a curse'' because he didn't necessarily expect to repeat the experience. LaPaglia hesitates briefly in explaining further, then charges full-steam ahead.
``This is going to sound odd but I don't really like what the business has become. It's changed a lot in the last five years.''
What's changed? ``Everything. Attitude,'' LaPaglia says.
His tone remains even but his suppressed Australian accent emerges as he drives home a point about the effect of media consolidation.
``It's become AOL Time Warner, therefore everything is about the bottom line, the dollar thing. Nobody even talks about the quality of the project or the quality of the writing or the quality of the acting.
``In fact, the quality of the acting is so far down the list it doesn't even matter,'' he said, adding that roles go to ``who looks good in a Prada suit in Spin magazine.''
Steadily employed in both stage and screen, LaPaglia won a Tony Award in 1998 for the Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's ``A View From The Bridge.'' His wide-ranging comedic and dramatic work, more than 50 projects, includes the TV series ``Murder One,'' and the upcoming film ``Analyze That.'' He played the fondly remembered Simon Moon (``I adored that character'') on ``Frasier.''
Post-``Lantana,'' LaPaglia figured he could avoid bitter-actor syndrome by just quitting while he was ahead.
He looked forward to spending more time with his wife, actress and fellow Australian Gia Carides, whose roles include cousin Nikki in ``My Big Fat Greek Wedding.'' The year off was spent happily and fruitfully at home (``I read a lot of books and didn't miss acting at all'').
Then his agent entreated him to consider the pilot script for ``Without a Trace'' and the role of Jack Malone, head of a crack FBI unit dedicated to finding the vanished.
He read it, liked it, took a meeting with the producers.
``I told them I was not crazy about doing a series. They asked what it would take, I gave them a laundry list. They came back and said 'Yes.'''
Creative control was not among his demands, which focused on time and money. With ``Murder One,'' LaPaglia had discovered how a TV drama, with its routine 12-plus hour production days, could eat up an actor's life.
``I didn't waste my time with creative because it doesn't mean anything on television. ... It's meaningless because you don't have time.''
That said, LaPaglia has been pleasantly surprised in the early going of ``Without a Trace,'' which airs at 10 p.m. EST Thursday and co-stars Poppy Montgomery, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Eric Close and Enrique Murciano.
LaPaglia's suggestions are considered, ``which was not my experience on 'Murder One.' That was a dictatorship. This is much more democratic. I like that element of it.''
Did we mention LaPaglia is candid?
He frets that ``Without a Trace'' producers may try to expand his role and maintains he'd be content if the other cast members become the popular ones and ``I get to sit behind the desk and say 'Check for fingerprints.'''
With the show's cushy spot after top-rated drama ``CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,'' ``Without a Trace'' has made an early strong showing. It's the second most-watched new drama, behind only ``CSI: Miami,'' and is the most competitive CBS show against NBC's ``ER'' since the medical drama premiered in 1994.
LaPaglia confesses he is reluctant to beat the drum for the show, mostly because he dislikes the publicity process he considers part of Hollywood's ``sideshow.'' When he's asked in interviews why viewers should watch, he says, he's inclined to reply, ``They should turn off the TV and read a book.''
This prospective man of leisure figures he's a winner if ``Without a Trace'' hits or misses.
``If it goes for five years, I will be extremely happy. If it doesn't, I will be equally happy.''
Dent Romances Taken Alien
Catherine Dent, one of the stars of the SCI FI Channel's upcoming epic
SF miniseries Taken, told SCI FI Wire that her character has a love
affair with an alien, and it spoiled her for any human romance. "He's
an alien lover, and it's true what they say about aliens," Dent joked
in an interview. "You don't ever go back. Real human men have nothing
on the aliens."
Taken, a 20-hour miniseries produced by DreamWorks for the SCI FI Channel, traces the lives of three families, each intimately connected with the alien abduction phenomenon, over the course of five decades. Dent's character, Sally Clarke, appears in three episodes that span the period 1947 to 1980, requiring what she called "a lot of makeup. It's one of those things that you become your character. You put on enough prosthetic makeup, and you feel old and horrible, and so it's pretty easy."
For the character's earlier, younger scenes, Dent researched Roswell and people who claim to have encountered aliens. "My character actually starts right around that time in the mid-1940s," she said. "I found that these people are true believers. I'm not necessarily a believer in aliens. I think that there's other life forms out there. I don't have any kind of hubris to believe that we're just alone, but I never really thought more than that. These people really believe, and they have absolute faith as one would have in religion. So that informed me a lot."
Some scenes required Dent to perform against a blue screen, where aliens would be added in post-production. Now that she's seen a completed episode, she's pleased with the aliens' appearance. "They're beautiful," she said. "They're based on real accounts, on interviews with people who believe that they've seen them, so they look like the aliens that you have a certain familiarity with, the big hands and long fingers. But they're also very unique and special. I mean, our special-effects department tried to make them as tactile as possible. They're gorgeous."
Dent credits executive producer Steven Spielberg with the guiding vision for the special effects. "He was not on the set when I was there, but he was very hands-on in the process, very hands-on in the making of the aliens and all the sci-fi effects, things like that," she said. Taken premieres in December.
It appears Rick Worthy had a reoccuring role on Push, Nevada, which has unfortunately been cancelled:
'Push, Nevada' Plants Final Clues
Next week's final episode of "Push, Nevada" will lay out the show's remaining weekly clues to help viewers determine how to find the interactive mystery's $1 million-plus prize.
Armchair sleuths will have to wait, however, for the "Final Clue," which will be broadcast on ABC sometime in the week after Thursday's (Oct. 24) "Push" finale airs.
ABC announced the cancellation of the anemically rated series last week, but since the show's producers -- Touchstone TV and LivePlanet, the company headed by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon -- are obligated to give away the money, the network couldn't yank it right away.
Thus, the finale will contain the weekly clues from the six episodes that will never make it to the airwaves. The episode will also give viewers a date and approximate time for the broadcast of the final clue, which they will need to complete the puzzle and enter the contest. Entries will be taken for six hours after the broadcast of the final clue.
Complete rules are posted at abc.com.

Manchester film reviews: Clockstoppers (PG)
Like most high school students, Zak Gibbs (Bradford) finds it impossible to fit everything into 24 hours.
What with homework, sports, school, chasing girls and having fun on his trusty BMX, there just isn't enough time in the day.
While Zak would like to spend more time with his famous physics professor father (Thomas), he seems more engrossed in his students and his wacky inventions.
By chance he picks up a watch his father has mislaid, and the inquisitive 17-year-old learns the timepiece is much more than a fashion accessory.
With a push of its dial, the watch slows down the flow of time, so that the world around Zak appears to come to a virtual standstill.
The fun-loving teen, best pal Danny (Mutambirwa) and sexy exchange student Francesca (Garces) have a whale of a time - literally - using the watch to wreak revenge on high school bullies and town yobs.
Needless to say, the US government is also keen to get its greedy mitts on the invention, and rogue agent Gates (Biehn) is enlisted to acquire the technology.
Clockstoppers is a mildly entertaining and inoffensive action romp, aimed squarely at the pre-teen market.
Bradford, who recently buffed up for the thriller Swimfan, once again plays younger than his age, and brings plenty of charm to his plucky hero.
There is a pleasing chemistry with Garces's sexy senorita, which should satisfy female audiences too, but Mutambirwa is shamelessly underused as the comedic sidekick.
Biehn is a pleasingly demented villain, but could perhaps have hammed it up a little more.
The plot is convoluted and, on closer inspection, doesn't make sense, especially the pivotal car chase at two different time speeds.
Equally perplexing are a number of continuity errors, such as objects disappearing from one shot to the next.
Director Jonathan Frakes ensures the camerawork is energetic, with special effects bombarding the screen whenever possible.
Youngsters will probably love Clockstoppers with its plucky heroes and snappy visuals, but winning over parents and serious sci-fi fans will be too much to ask for.
Empire Online: Clockstoppers
Produced by childrens TV channel Nickleodeon, this limp, unremarkable sci-fi fantasy clearly seeks to emulate the Spy Kids formula, but without the inventiveness or budget.
Jesse Bradford and Paula Garc�s (clearly in their late 20s) are the two gee-whizz teens who discover a wristwatch that has the ability to halt time. Once in hypertime, the eager duo waste the apparently limitless power with a series of silly pranks, before lurching into a by-the-numbers chase movie as they are pursued by an evil technocrat (a pay cheque-claiming Michael Biehn). Despite a good gimmick, the predictably safe tone favours the welter of teen clich�s, while the one major special effect is quite meagre and quickly dispensed with. Ultimately, the lacklustre material forces director Frakes to keep proceedings loud and fast as he heads to the gratingly moral finale.

CSI Uncovers a Thursday Victory for CBS
CBS just pulled ahead of NBC in the Thursday night ratings race.
Thanks to a record-breaking performance from "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," CBS posted a half-a-million viewer advantage over NBC on Thursday, Oct. 10. This is the first time CBS has topped NBC on a Thursday night this season, and the first time since April 2001 with first run programming. After narrowing NBC's advantage to just over one million viewers last week, CBS had a 690,000 viewer advantage Thursday night.
"CSI" drew the highest rating (19.4/29) and largest audience in its history with 30.7 million viewers, according to final National Nielsen ratings. The 9 p.m. CBS crime drama is now the top rated and most watched program of the 2002 to '03 season, averaging a 18.3 rating/28 share and 29.90 million viewers and passing "Friends" with 18.2/28, 29.86 million. This is the series' second best ratings performance in adults 18-34 (8.8/23), adults 18-49 (11.4/27) and adults 25-54 (13.4/29).
At 8 p.m., "Survivor: Thailand" averaged a 12.3 rating/19 share and 21.16 million viewers, coming in second place to NBC's "Friends," but topping "Scrubs" in households, viewers, adults 18-49 and adults 25-54 at 8:30 p.m.
CBS' new crime drama "Without a Trace" continues to trail NBC's powerhouse "ER" at 10 p.m., but is still posting gains. The show is up 13 percent in households and added 1.41 million viewers from last week, up to 15.94 million, but well behind the 24.74 million total posted by "ER."

Nosferatu Haunts Nemesis
Award-winning Star Trek makeup maestro Michael Westmore told SCI FI Wire that
the Viceroy, the Star Trek Nemesis character portrayed by Ron Perlman, was
specifically designed to resemble Nosferatu. "That's exactly what [director]
Stuart Baird wanted," Westmore said in an interview. "Stuart handed me a
picture of Nosferatu and said, 'I need an alien that looks like this.'"
Westmore created some sketches for Baird, "and then we went to town on it," he said. "We designed the head and then the ears. That was neat, because Stuart said, 'I want to be able to see through the ears.' So I made the ears out of clear gelatin. If there's any backlight behind them, you can see through the ears. Then we painted veins on the back of the ears. So if there's any light showing through, you can see veining through the ears. I think the Viceroy is a pretty fearsome character, and Stuart seemed pleased with what he saw. We were also lucky in that we were dealing with Ron, who's done makeup roles so much. He just kind of sat down and enjoyed it, even though this was probably one of the most extensive makeup processes he's had to go through since [the TV series] Beauty and the Beast." Star Trek Nemesis opens nationwide on Dec. 13.

Spy Kids 3 (2003)
Release Date: July 23rd, 2003 (that's the Wednesday before Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life opens on 7/25/03)
Distributor: Dimension Films
Cast: Daryl Sabara (Juni Cortez), Alexa Vega (Carmen Cortez), Antonio Banderas (Gregorio Cortez), Carla Gugino (Ingrid Cortez); other returning cast, and new actors, not announced yet (10/11/02).
Although Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams, which has pretty much finished its U.S. release at this point, fell about $30 million short of the box office of Spy Kids, it was still quite successful (especially relative to cost). This is normally where I would say "so the studio greenlit this third film", but the truth is that Robert Rodriguez came up with the story idea (which he hasn't revealed yet) seven months ago in March, and Dimension approved his story far in advance of the second film's August opening. And so, in just three years, Rodriguez will have released three feature films in a trilogy that wasn't even a sure thing when the first movie was produced. How did he do it? Well, one of the traits that separates Robert Rodriguez from most of his peers is the ability to turn out impressive, action-packed movies with star casts and an energetic directorial style... for $30-$40 million a piece. He's also a prolific "multi-hyphenate", wearing several hats besides "just" producer, director and screenwriter. On SK2, for example, Rodriguez also took credits as cinematographer, production designer, visual effects supervisor, and composer. He's like the Prince of filmmakers.
And so, just three months after the release of the last film, Robert Rodriguez is targeting November, 2002 as the start date of the third. He's keeping mum on the premise, but it's likely that much (or most) of the cast of the second film will probably return, if they weren't the bad guys, of course (and maybe if they were, they might).
