Linked is a Variety story on 4 new Fox series, one of which is "Lone Star." It was written by my son's best friend Kyle Killen. They graduated from USC's film school together. BTW Kyle lives in Austin and commutes to LA. Kyle also has a screenplay he wrote in production. It stars Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster with Foster directing (although she's about to fired from what I hear). "As for "Lone Star," sudsy drama centers on a family in the oil business. Kyle Killen wrote the pilot and EPs with Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman (who serve as showrunners), Kerry Kohansky, Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz. Marc Webb directed the pilot."Lone Star" cast includes Mark Deklin, Jon Voight, David Keith and Adrianne Palicki." Variety
I wish him the best of luck, but I can't help but think about a running joke between myself and some of my friends: "Hey man, I just had a show picked up for a season on Network Television..." "That's awesome brother, what network picked it up?" "Oh it was picked up by Fox!" (Silence) "Oh, well, sorry 'bout that"
