Running wilde movie1/22/2024 ![]() Additionally, production has been moved from Vancouver to New York, mostly because of the lack of opulent mansions up north. As a result, the two roles were recently recast,with Robert Michael Morris replacing Jayne Houdeyshell and Mel Rodriguez replacing Joseph A. He pointed to Fox entertainment president’s criticism (which he agreed with) that “we have lost a lot of what was special about the Emmy character,” Steve’s (Arnett) love interest played by Keri Russell.Īdditionally, besides the casting of Cross, the creators re-conceived the characters of Steve’s ex-nanny, which has been given a gender makeover form a matriarch figure to a manny, and that of his driver/friend, who is now “more contemporary to Steve” with a dynamic between him and his boss in the vein of that between Steve Carell and John Krasinski’s characters on The Office. The creators talked about the slew of tweaks to the pilot, that will result in more than a half of it being reshot, according to Hurwitz. a hope of it being cancelled,” but later added that he is “glad to be trying to make a show that attracts larger audience.”Īdded Arnett, “We’re out of our comfort zone and we’re figuring it out.” Arnett, one of the current kings of dead-pan humor, was overshadowed on the panel by recent cast addition Peter Serafinowicz, who is sometime referred to “the British Will Arnett.” (Serafinowicz was recently upped to a regular after guest starring in the pilot.) One example: He followed Hurwitz’s praise of Fox’s support for the project with this take on the network: “It’s come such a long wasy since the days they just did documentaries about foxes,” he said with a completely straight face, drawing big laughs. “But this is a different project, and it has a different set of rules to it.”Īddressing the fact that, with Wilde, he is looking to do a romantic comedy with wider appeal than the off-beat Arrested, Hurwitz confessed that “I have a fear of success…. “We very much loved Arrested Development, we miss it and that’s why we still want to make the movie, Hurwitz said, adding after the session that the script for the movie is halfway done. The comparisons are inevitable: new Fox comedy series Running Wilde was created by Arrested alums Mitch Hurwitz, Will Arnett and Jim Vallely and stars Arnett, with another Arrested actor, David Cross, recently joining the cast in a recasting. ![]() It’s time to say your goodbyes.If you wondered how long it took before first Arrested Development-related question at the Running Wilde panel came in, it was a couple of minutes. The end result: “Running Wilde” will be cancelled. To drive this point home and then put it to bed: There was a 50% viewership loss with “Running Wilde” and a 7% viewership loss without “Running Wilde.”Īdd this information to what FOX did the week before, which was to run a new “Running Wilde” after reruns of both “Glee” and “Raising Hope.” Let me spell that out for you more clearly: FOX used a fresh episode of “Running Wilde” on a night there was guaranteed low viewership because the lead-in shows were old. the second half-hour of “Raising Hope” had 5.9 million. What were the results of last’s night experiment? “Raising Hope” had 6.3 million viewers at 8 p.m. Let’s think of it another way: If you ran a cafe and 50% of your customers left en masse at a certain time to go to another cafe, you’d figure out a way to either keep them at your place or close up early. ![]() For those of you who aren’t good at math, FOX is losing more than half of its audience at 8:30 p.m. ![]() The reason for the experiment is this: “Raising Hope” at 8 p.m. Last night they seemed to run an experiment: What would happen if they replaced “Running Wilde” with a second episode of “Raising Hope”? They’re being replaced by: “I really wanted this to work but it is clear that it will not.” And many of the posts use the words: “This show has potential.” But potential doesn’t sell advertising.įor anyone paying attention to the scheduling over at FOX, you can see they are close to axing the show. I know there are legions of fans who believe “Running Wilde” is the second coming of “Arrested Development.” The comments they leave on the Hulu “Wilde” discussion page are gushing: “I love it!” to “I can’t wait for the next episode” and “I’m still reeling from the cancellation of Arrested Development but this should make up for some of it hehe.”īut those comments, which hit their peak around week 3 of the season, are beginning to falter. Say goodbye to "Running Wilde" and Keri Russell's straightened hair. ![]()
