Great news. Thanks NL.

There's one thing I don't get. If this is a TV series, in that chance that they make a second season, will they get new actors or use the same but with new stories?

Thanks for the added info everyone. I wonder if Shiri will make the rounds on all of the talk shows and promote this show? This could be huge.

I think the show is split into different episodes or mini movies and Shiri is staring in just one of them so I doubt she will be in more then one episode but anything is possible. This could really help her career skyrocket.

Yes I did get that, in this season (13 episodes) she'll only be in 1 episode but if the show continues for next season, will NBC be looking for new actors or will they use the same?

That's a good question? I am not sure of the answer but I guess time will tell.
I can't wait to see Shiri on Tv again. She is going to be great.

NBC announce line up for Fear Itself

A stellar line up has been announced on both sides of the camera for NBC’s new 13 episode anthology series Fear Itself, which has just started filming in Canada.

Directors on the show include John Landis (pictured, Breck Eisner and Stuart Gordon, from scripts by writers including Mick Garris and Steve Niles. The cast includes genre stalwarts Brandon Routh, Eric Roberts, John Billingsley and Shiri Appleby.

Fear Itself was described by Lionsgate president of programming Kevin Beggs to Variety as a "scary, creepy and cool show that, when viewers are flipping through the channels, will [make them] stop and look. The money is on the screen."

The format is a reworking of the cable series Masters of Horror, with many of the writers and directors carrying across from the Showtime series, and is expected to premiere later this year.

Thanks for the new links Lulu!!. That's great news. And NBC is drumming up this new series what will all the news annoucements coming out of the web!! It's something to look forward to. And I do hope Shiri stars in more than one episode.

EARLBNY · 03-04-2008, 02:11 PM

Once again this is awesome news. I know the show has yet to air but I am already on the edge of my seat with excitement. Not only will this be huge this could really help out TLAD and Shiri career. If people see Shiri in this show and then see previews for TLAD it may help generate a big buzz. I can just picture it now….

BTW I know Shiri is going to star along side Brandon in one episode but did I read that correctly that she is also going to direct as well? Wow, for someone that is not quite a household name yet she sure is moving up. Go Shiri Go!

Maybe I'm losing something here 'cause I can't find where it says she will only appear in one episode and not in more.
From what I understood she'll be a cast member...or not?

Thanks for the new article Lourdes, I really can't wait to see her in it!!

Found this:

In an attempt to break what has been referred to as the “curse on broadcast television anthology series”, NBC executives are excited about the network pushing “the boundaries of this classic genre”, according to Entertainment executive VP, Teri Weinberg. It seems they will market this series accordingly, and give it the respect it deserves.

With all the talent behind this project, it’s bound to be well received in the horror community, and it may even raise a few eyebrows of viewers who don’t expect this sort of horror fun and focus on NBC. Who knows, this could be the “Christmas in July” us horror fans have been pining for on regular network TV.

So it looks like they really are pushing for it to be a success, and I think it will be.

Its an anthology. Anthologies are made up of short stories and don't have a set cast. Like The Twilight Zone, Tales From The Crypt etc.

I think that actually answers a question I made. Negra Luna, if the series is picked for a second season, they'll look for new cast members right?
