News from ABC about a new ABC tv show....

CASTLE (ABC)

DEVELOPMENT HISTORY:
3/28/08 - 5/8/08

STATUS:
currently in development (2008-2009 season)

DEVELOPMENT STAGE:
ordered to pilot

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
midseason 2009/14-20 minute presentation

DESCRIPTION:

(from ABC's press release) Cross a mystery novelist with a rock star and you would get Nick Castle. He's got Jagger's swagger and James Bond's way with the ladies. Although the handsome writer seems to have everything-fame, fans, and females-he's grown weary of it all. In fact, he's just killed off the legendary character who's sold millions of books for him. But when a real-world copycat murderer starts staging murder scenes from Nick's novels and NYPD Detective Beckett asks him for help, Nick feels the old blood pumping in his veins again. Is it the thrill of the chase-or the fact that Beckett is a strikingly beautiful woman? When Nick's freewheeler detective style clashes with Beckett's conservative approach, the sparks certainly fly-leading to both danger and a hint of romance. Keeping him grounded are his washed-up Broadway diva mother and his quick-witted teenage daughter; his poker playing buddies James Patterson, Sue Grafton, and Stephen King; and his long-suffering ex-wife Gina, who also happens to be his editor. From producer Armyan Bernstein (Spy Game, The Guardian, Children of Men) comes a comedic crime procedural centered around smooth yet self-effacing literary phenomenon Nick Castle. If it was a book, you wouldn't be able to put it down.

We've been speculating as to whether or not
these writers would actually be in little cameos
for the show.

I saw this little tidbit several weeks ago , then forgot where I'd discovered it...

Glad that you re-excavated it and posted it so we wouldn't lose it again...

Turns out Alyssa Milano is attached to the production in some role , but which one ?
