James Van Der Beek as seen in "Friends With Better Lives" This week's Best bets Stars on Screen By Andrew Warren TV Media In ship shape: In an industry known for its big-time spectacle, there's one moviemaker who cin- ema-goers know is never going to disappoint. Director and producer Michael Bay's been the man behind some of Hollywood's biggest hits, including "Transformers" (2007), "Pearl Harbor" (2001) and "Pain & Gain" (2013). With a resume as impressive as his, it's kind of a big deal when he attaches his name to a television project. "The Last Ship" is coming to TNT on Sunday, June 22. The Bay- produced drama, loosely based on the 1988 novel by William Brinkley, is already attracting the kind of buzz that tends to follow whenever someone of Bay's cali- ber attaches his name to a TV project. Set aboard a United States naval destroyer after a global pandemic has wiped out most of the planet's population, the 10-episode series is set to tell the story of the crew who may be Earth's only chance to see humanity's continued survival. And Bay isn't the only big-tim- er on board with this post-apoca- lyptic drama. Some of the actors who have come aboard include: "Grey's Anatomy's" Eric Dane ("Marley & Me", 2008), "Chuck's" Adam Baldwin ("Independence Day," 1996), "The Practice's" Rhona Mitra ("Underworld: Rise of the Lycans," 2009) and "All My Children's" Charles Parnell ("The Education of Charlie Banks," 2007). The original novel was a Cold War thriller, set after a nuclear exchange between the compet- ing superpowers; this television adaptation is taking out the nukes and bringing in a much more topical out-of-control pan- demic. That feeling of isolation, though — being among the last surviving humans, stranded on a ship at sea and unable to make In ship shape 'The Last Ship' brings Michael Bay to TV landfall — is all too real. Keep an eye on TNT for "The Last Ship" starting June 22. Not well 'liked': What hap- pens when you're more interest- ed in how much attention you can attract online than in what people actually think about you? It's a relevant question in our world of likes, pokes and tweets, and it's also prime material for a comedy as ABC continues to develop its latest half-hour com- edy pilot entitled "Selfie." It has been busy rounding up talent for the project from "Suburgatory" creator Emily Kapnek, and it has signed up some familiar talent for the promising project. Karen Gillan's been cast in the lead as a woman in her mid-20's who's more concerned with how many "likes" she can rack up online than in whether people actually like her. After a video of her goes viral for all the wrong reasons, though, she decides that it's time to polish up her image. Gillan will no doubt be best known to American audiences for her role as Amy Pond in the science fiction hit "Doctor Who." She's on the brink of getting even more exposure, too: she'll be part of the ensemble cast in the upcoming Marvel superhero film "Guardians of the Galaxy," which is set for release this sum- mer. Co-starring with Gillan in the male lead is the up-and-coming John Cho. Cho's been a fixture of TV and movies for years, with roles in "American Beauty" (1999), "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" (2004) and "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" (2008). In the past few years, his star has really started to take off with big roles in NBC's "Go On" and, perhaps most famously, as the iconic Sulu in the rebooted Star Trek movie franchise.
