Underbelly
Underbelly on ImdbDrama | Crime | Mystery
Based on real events in Melbourne, Victoria, between 1995 and 2004, Underbelly tells the story of the gangland war, known as the Melbourne gangland killings, between rival factions of Melbourne's criminal underworld. This major primetime production based on true events features an all-star cast from Australia. The series was banned from being broadcast in Victoria, Australia until the conclusion of an upcoming gangland murder trial. The order was issued on February 12, 2008 by Supreme Court judge Betty King. The whole 13 episode series was sporadically bootlegged throughout Victoria and Australia. The first 9 episodes were being sold on DVD in markets across Victoria, such as Footscray and Queen Victoria, as early as three weeks into its initial broadcast. Roberta Williams' older daughter was known to be selling the complete 13 episodes on DVD at her Essendon School, Ava Maria in mid-March 2008. Apparently, Roberta bribed someone within the Nine Network, and obtained the complete series. Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities is the prequel to Melbourne's gangland war drama -- the original Underbelly. The two-hour premiere grabbed the attention of 2.58 million viewers, making this Sydney-based mini-series a hot favourite for the best Australian show of 2009. The third series of Underbelly is currently in production

Joss Whedon Lures a Bunch of Kids to His Cabin In The Woods -- Damn you, promises of candy!
added by newsBotI have no idea how Joss Whedon is going to reign back expectations with his upcoming film "Cabin in the Woods" (and it's not even totally his film! He just co-wrote it! Long-time collaborator Drew Goddard is directing). The sub-par "Dollhouse" airing every week probably helps. But while the news Bradley Whitford and Richard Jenkins getting cast was tremendous, today's news about the kids in the cabin is…well, they're kids. The five young actors having good times in the middle of the forest with no one to help them are Kristen Connolly ("Revolutionary Road"), Chris Hemsworth ("Star Trek"), Anna Hutchison ("Underbelly"), Fran Kranz ("The Village") and Jesse Williams ("The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2"). Kranz is the only one previously associated with Whedon as he currently plays the smarmy programmer Topher on "Dollhouse". ...
