Entertainment NOW

TV Media Weekly | March 7 - 13, 2015 8 | Sunday afternoon Since that announcement, it seems that casting has been moving ahead at full speed. Young heartthrob Austin Butler ("The Carrie Diaries," "Arrow") has been cast in a leading role as a man trying to hide the fact his heritage might not be quite as human as people think. Joining him in the fantasy realm are Poppy Drayton ("Downton Abbey"), Ivana Ba- quero ("Pan's Labyrinth," 2006), Daniel MacPherson ("City Homi- cide"), Marcus Vanco ("Unbro- ken," 2014), Brooke Williams ("The Almighty Johnsons"), Manu Bennett ("The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies," 2014) and John Rhys-Davies ("The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," 2001). The "Shannara" series, writ- ten by novelist Terry Brooks, got its start in 1977 with "The Sword of Shannara," the first book in the extensive series. Since then, more than 25 books have been published, and Brooks has gone on to become one of the most popular fantasy authors in the world. That's a lot of material for any script writer or producer to work with. To begin with, at least, the TV adaptation will focus on the events of the series' second book, "The Elfstones of Shan- nara." No premiere date has been announced, but with MTV's "Shannara" adaptation current- ly in production, it's expected to hit TV screens later this year. High school hijinks: HBO is going back to school. The premi- um channel skipped the pilot phase and ordered "Vice Princi- pals" straight to series early last year, and it's looking like things are at last moving ahead with the comedy. Set in a typical American high school, "Vice Principals" is about the people who almost run it — the people almost, but not quite, at the top of the ladder. Danny McBride and Walton Goggins have been cast as the the two VPs, each overseeing a different part of the school. McBride ("Pineapple Express," 2008, "Eastbound & Down") will star as the divorced Neal Gamby, the vice-principal in charge of his school's discipline. Goggins' character, on the other hand, is in charge of the curriculum at the school, and his offer of an unholy alliance with Gamby is the setup for the laughs. Goggins earned himself an Emmy nomination for his role in "Justified," and he's also starred in "The Shield" and the big-screen hit "Django Un- chained" (2012). Joining McBride and Goggins on screen will be "Boardwalk Empire's" Shea Whigham, the new hus- band of Gamby's ex-wife. A premiere date for "Vice Principals" has yet to be an- nounced. 03/08 1 PM 1:30 2 PM 2:30 3 PM 3:30 4 PM 4:30 5 PM 5:30 6 PM 6:30 S1 S2 K WTTV 4 (12:00) NCAA Basketball Memphis vs. Cincinnati (L) (:15) NCAA Basketball MVC Tournament Championship Site: Scottrade Center -- St. Louis, Mo.
