Sons of Anarchy Creator Developing New Comedy for FX

Kurt Sutter, the creator of FX's Sons of Anarchy, has just sold a script to the network for a new comedy called Diva. Clown. Killer.

EW.com describes the story as a "dark, absurd comedy about an '80s has-been rock diva, her dysfunctional son who makes his living as kid’s party clown, and of course, an assassin." Sons of Anarchy star (and Sutter's wife) Katey Sagal will executive produce the project alongside Belle Zwerdling. Sagal could also potentially star, depending on her work schedule.

"I look at [Sons of Anarchy] as being an intense drama, where the murder and mayhem are made palatable by absurd, dark humor," explained Sutter. "This half-hour will be an absurd, dark comedy, where the story is fueled by murder and mayhem."

Should the script go to pilot, Sutter would hire a showrunner so he could continue working on SOA.

That's My Boy Hitting Shelves in October

The Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg father-son comedy, That's My Boy will arrive on Blu-ray and DVD October 16, 2012. The $70 million picture, from director Sean Anders (Sex Drive), was the follow-up to Sandler's notoriously awful Jack and Jill (which grossed nearly $150 million worldwide) and was a rather shocking flop, grossing a mere $47 million worldwide, a far cry from Sandler's typical box office numbers.

That's My Boy will arrive on Blu-ray presented in 1080p, preserving the film's original 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Audio will be mixed in 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. The DVD will include an anamorphic widescreen transfer and 5.1 Dolby Digital audio. Extras will include the following:

• Gag Reel
• Who Are All these People? Featurette
• Greetings From Cape Cod Featurette
• Classy Rick’s Bacon and Leggs Featurette
• Five Deleted Scenes
• UltraViolet Copy

Suggested retail is set at $35.99 for the Blu-ray, and $30.99 for the DVD. Amazon has the disc available for pre-order for $32.39 for the Blu-ray, and $27.89 for the DVD.

Be on the lookout for a review of That's My Boy on Blu-ray in the coming months. While you wait, be sure to check out our theatrical review of the film.

New Michael J. Fox Sitcom Coming to NBC

NBC has just signed a deal to produce a new single-camera comedy that will bring Michael J. Fox back to weekly TV. While the project was sought after by FOX, ABC and CBS (who came the closest among the other contenders), it was Peacock chief Robert Greenblatt who eventually won over Fox, who will produce and star.

As Vulture reports, the big selling point from Greenblatt was that he gave the project a full 22-episode order -- Not many shows get an order to go to series before they shoot a pilot, and 22-episodes is an especially rare upfront commitment. Current plans are to film the Sony Pictures Television series in New York, which also happens to be where Fox worked on Spin City. The half-hour show will be a family comedy loosely inspired by Fox's own life, presumably incorporating his real-life battle with Parkinson's disease.

While Fox's project is now targeted for fall 2013, it's likely that the pilot will be shot well in advance of that, taking advantage of the longer lead time.

The still untitled comedy is created by Cougar Town writer Sam Laybourne and the pilot will be directed by Will Gluck (Easy A).
