Dick Wolf has three nights of programming on two different broadcast channels. On January 9th, he is giving streaming a try with his new beat cop procedural on Prime Video.
On Call is an adrenalized and visceral police drama that follows a rookie and veteran officer duo as they go on patrol in Long Beach, California. Incorporating a mixture of bodycam, dash-camera, and cellphone footage to create a cinema verité effect, the innovative series explores the morality of protecting and serving a community.
The series stars Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars) as Officer Traci Harmon, a seasoned twelve-year veteran and training officer with a strong moral compass that has defined her approach to policing, even if that puts her at odds with new law enforcement policies. Brandon Larracuente (The Good Doctor) stars as Alex Diaz, an ambitious rookie who grapples with holding onto his optimistic outlook as he realizes the challenges he’ll face in today’s climate.
I was drinking coffee when I started watching the trailer. But then I poured it down the sink because that teaser woke me up better than caffeine ever could. What an adrenaline rush!
I also can’t wait to see how much further Wolf takes things now that he unrestricted on streaming.
This photo of Shaq and Sherri Shepherd from tonight’s Celebrity Family Feud has Caption Me written all over it, so go ahead and do it. No answer is too big or too small.
Before Derek and Julianne Hough danced their way into our hearts on Dancing with the Stars, they worked their magic in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. How cute was the 15-year-old big brother and his 12-year-old sister in that 2001 movie?
“Did you know @juleshough and I were in the first Harry Potter film? ✨,” the DWTS judge wrote. “We spent three months in the Great Hall, the Forbidden Forest, and even the Quidditch pitch! It was incredible to be part of such a historic moment. And I may have ‘accidentally’ taken a Ravenclaw robe, scarf, tie, and a few pieces of silverware from set… but shh, don’t tell! Just a little holiday magic and nostalgia to share with you all. Happy holidays #harrypotter”
And now, the Hogwarts police are going to be going after Derek to reclaim the stolen items.
In case you haven’t heard, Timothée Chalamet is playing Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. Today, the actor got the greatest compliment from the legendary singer.
“There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!). Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role,” the known musician wrote. “Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me. The film’s taken from Elijah Wald’s Dylan Goes Electric – a book that came out in 2015. It’s a fantastic retelling of events from the early ‘60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport. After you’ve seen the movie read the book.”
The fact that Dylan wrote that with the movie being a complete unknown to him is pretty impressive. It will be interesting to see if he feels the same way after he sees the movie when it comes out on Christmas Day.
UPDATE: Someone told Chalamet about what Dylan wrote, so the actor responded with, “screaming crying laughing screaming laughing pooping screaming crying THANK YOU BOB !!!! DREAM COME TRUE !!!!”
Chalamet better hope the movie is a “dream come true” for Dylan, or the spirit of the Hurricane will come after him!
