EdR Country News #41: Two shows? ABC must really like her work.

I’m told she’s been offered the role of Ken Olin’s daughter in ABC’s “Americana”, which has Anthony LaPaglia, Emilie de Ravin and Natalie Mendoza onboard. The character of Olin’s daughter,who like her uncle,played by LaPaglia,is a fashion designer but she’s just graduating from Parsons into the real world.

I must admit my first thought was, "Not sure if want...!?", but it's because the poor lady is associated with a crazy franchise. Maybe she's a good actress regardless?

Thanks for the new thread. Could you add Emilie's twitter account link to the first post, for those who might not know it. They can just click it.

As I said in the last thread, it would be cool if she can do both shows because she hasn't been doing anything for a while.

As for Ashley Green playing the daughter, and possibly a big role, is just no. Not a fan of her "acting" at all.

Emilie and Ashley are going to play sisters? Don't see how they look a like. Is Ashley going to attempt an Australian accent?


But YES! Emilie is a busy bee this year.

Emilie's playing Anthony's daughter, Olin is his brother, it seems if it happens..will have a daughter played by Ashley Greene, so Emilie and Ashley would be cousins. I'm still not sure about all this. I'm very happy she's working, and even more so that she's happy, but this show's premise sounds like something that I don't see lasting. We'll see!

Hmm I'm not sure about Ashley. Nothing against her, I've only ever seen her in that 1st Twilight movie, but I'd rather the Twilight fanbase not be brought over to the show since they hate Emilie for being in a movie with Rob.

LOL. I just saw this tweet from a guy in LA.

Quote:
@JohnathanJThomp
Emilie de Raven did not just smile and wave to me after almost hitting me with her car.
If that's true then she was still in LA yesterday. Which means she most likely won't be in episode 1x19 of OUAT. I think they just about wrapped up that episode.

The new title makes me laugh. I said it before and I'll say it again, after her extended break last year, it is so so nice to have Emilie in this situation.

So Ashley Greene might be the niece character. Hmm, I can't really judge her acting, I've only ever seen her five minutes in each of the Twilight movies. If Ashley and Anthony LaPaglia were that sought over... I suppose if Americana nabs her for the role, the chance of Americana getting picked up will go way up.

I guess we will hear more news as it gets close to filming. However, prefer someone other than Ashley. Either way, it's nice that Emilie will potentially be doing 2 shows.

Thanks Monefor linking Emilie's twitter on the first post

A modeling agency put up the casting notice for the guest stars here: Americana Guest Cast (NY Release, February 18)

Not much to learn about Francesca, except for...

Quote:
[JORDAN] (Male, 35) PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.
He is “beautiful in that ex-model way,” this mysterious individual has a clandestine meeting with Francesca. 1 speech & 1 line, 1 scene RECURRING ROLE.
Yay for clandestine meetings with mysterious individuals. I assume most of her other scenes in the pilot must be with the main cast/family. Looking forward to finding out who will play her brother (and if he will be younger or older).

I would really like to know if the tone of the show is more Revenge or more Brothers and Sisters. (As long as it is not something meh somewhere in the middle, I'm fine with either.)

I love pilot season!

Sometimes shows have plots where I don't know how they could last longer than one season or plots that sound stupid, yet they stay on the air. OR they have iffy plots but end up being fantastic shows. I trust Emilie to pick something innovative and good.

If Ashley is cast, she better bring in big ratings with Twilight fans.

I am not sure many people are fans of Ashley

There are a lot of new shows filming pilots and I agree, some had much better plot that this one, but we will see if this gets picked up.

I would even go as far as saying that there is no plot at all in the information released so far.

Lost pretty much had me forever and ever at "plane crashes on creepy island". They had me waaaay before even bringing in polar bears, time travel and such.

Here's a positive take on what Americana could be like...
Quote:
Now here is a series that could be a winner. Americana is a ritzy clothing line run by a powerful, wealthy family. A good script would balance an intriguing look behind the scenes of the fashion industry, perhaps reminiscent of The Devil Wears Prada, and some juicy, soap-style family drama. I’d give it a watch for sure. Americana is coming to ABC with star, Anthony LaPaglia, and joining him now is the ever so lovely Emilie De Ravin.

This has the potential to be good, I think. I hope it's about ambition, backstabbing, and all that good stuff.

Giancarlo Esposito who plays Sydney Glass/Man in the Mirror, has been cast in J.J. Abrams new pilot ‘Revolution’. It's on NBC though.

I'm just so relieved that Americana is on ABC. If it was on NBC for exmaple, they wouldn't be so willing to let her guest star on a rival network.
