Oh No They Didn't! —
... gig would mark a small-screen reunion for ex-TV doc Wyle and Spielberg; the Oscar-winning director was one of ER's founding producers. It would also keep Wyle in business with TNT, the network behind his super-fun* Librarian movies. A TNT spokesperson declined to comment. Is Wyle the right guy for the role? If not, who's on top of your short list of actors to lead the resistance? * So I hear. I've never actually seen a single one. source ...

/Film —
... Entertainment Weekly has now learned that Spielberg is persuing Noah Wyle (ER, Donnie Darko) to star as the leader of a ragtag group of survivors who “must fight for their survival and maintain their humanity.” Wyle is good as the like-able everyman, and I can easily imagine him as a leader. The idea sounds great, but I wonder how it will translate with a tv-budget. ...

... fighting a guerrilla war against the unfriendly ETs. Yes, it's Battlestar Galactica meets Terminator Salvation meets War of The Worlds (with just a hint of Marc Guggenheim's Resurrection comic, for my money), but that doesn't mean that we're not excited about what sounds like the possibility of a grittier take on V. We just hope that Wyle's willing to bring more to the screen than his The Librarian TV movies. Noah Wyle + Steve Spielberg + Aliens = Big fat hit? [Entertainment Weekly]

Weekly TV Wrap Up - June 25, 2009
Screen Rant —
... Wyle has been snagged to headline a yet-to-be-titled sci-fi show on TNT that will involve yet another alien invasion plot.
The storyline kicks in gear approximately 6 months after an insidious evil alien species invades the Earth and Wyle will be the leader of the human resistance.
I’m a little disappointed that this premise sounds so much like another upcoming show that starts with a V. I expected a bit more originality out of Spielberg.

... I love reality TV as much as the next person, but as we get deeper into the summer months, and the absolute only new shows on at night are "unscripted," I start jonesing for something a little more high-concept. Something a little stranger, or more creative, or more challenging. Something with aliens. Which is why every time I hear about the upcoming Noah Wyle-led, Steven Spielberg-produced pilot, I pretty much get chills of awesomeness. The still-untitled series, which our own Michael Ausiello had the scoop on a couple weeks back, takes place six months into an alien ...
