Friday Free-For-All

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketWarner Brothers is beginning the buzz about their deal with Blerds and their short film series, "Hung," about the world's worst sequestered jury. The pilot was written by Prescott Tolk and shot by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and features some Chicago and former Chicago talent, some actual Blerds, some talent pulled from outside the group, including Mike Bridenstine, Mike Holmes, Matt Braunger, Ryan Ridley, Renee Gauthier, Nick Vatterott, TJ Miller, Mike Burns, Jared Logan, CJ Sullivan, and Kyle Kinane. The shorts will either end up on the web or on the big old-fashioned tv itself, and should premiere at the Oct. 26 Blerds Lakeshore show.

In other WB news, apparently Warner Brothers doesn't want to make any more movies with women in the lead. "Looking purely at dollar signs and apparently not thinking logically, Warner Brothers president of production Jeff Robinov has apparently made himself a new favorite executive for people to love to hate. That’s because, according to Deadline Hollywood Daily, he has decreed that Warner Bros. is 'no longer doing movies with women in the lead'." Ouch!

And, hey, if you didn't catch Chicago favorite Hannibal on the Craig Ferguson show last week, check out his clip:
