ABC’s “187 Detroit”
From 187 Detroit
Pilot Casts UTA’s Michael Imperioli
Posted by on 03 Mar 2010 by theBean in News, Pilot Season
“187 Detroit”, a new they’re-casting-it-now pilot for ABC, has signed on a new star. Sharon Bialy & Sherry Thomas, casting.
The UTA repped Michael Imperioli (Sopranos), will take on the role of the cynical, dry-humored detective “Fitch” in the dramatic series, which will be staged and potentially be shot in Detroit. The premise of the show is to give viewers a comedic look “behind the scenes” of a homicide devision, as if the entire show is recorded by the hidden cameras of a fictitious documentary film crew.
The Emmy nominated actor will get another shot at playing Cop post the 2009 canceling of the bizarre (but wonderfully hilarious) dramedy Life on Mars.
Speaking of documentary-style: ABC's got a hit on its hands this year with the mockumentary comedy, "Modern Family," so it's trying the documentary narrative approach in another drama as well, "187 Detroit," one of the crime shows.
"187 Detroit" -- which shoots in Atlanta, incidentally -- follows Detroit's top homicide division through the eyes of a fictitious documentary crew. Written by screenwriter Jason Richman, it stars newcomer Jon Michael Hill, James McDaniel ("All My Children") and Aisha Hinds ("True Blood"). What does it say when I have nothing to say?

[edit] Plot
Carson portrays Dexter Jackson, a young, black deliveryman in Atlanta, Georgia who aspires to become a news reporter. Jackson gets what he considers his big break, when he drives up to a hostage situation. When the reporter on the scene is killed, Dexter steps in and confronts the hostage-taker, who threatens to kill himself on live television. However, Dexter talks the man out of it, and ratings-obsessed executive producer Kate Penndragin (Blanche Baker) later offers Dexter a reporter position at "News 4 Atlanta".
A recurring gag throughout the film involves Jackson seeing himself on TV with notably different facial features, i.e. thinner lips, straight hair, and a lighter complexion. As Kate tries to transform Dexter's urban image (mainly his dreadlocks, clothing, and diction), he begins questioning whether he's starting to sell out as he becomes more and more successful, in other words, he wonders whether becoming successful also means becoming "white".
Although Dexter begins to fulfill his dream, he also starts forgetting where he came from. He alienates those close to him with tabloid-style exposé stories, i.e. a local barber's illegal numbers racket, and a restaurant's unhealthy cooking styles. Dexter loses his fiancé Toynelle (Arrindell Anderson) after a night on the town results in him spending the night with ditzy weather forecaster, Missy Carnes (Julia Campbell). Dexter also betrays his best friend Baker Moon (Nathaniel 'Afrika' Hall) by revealing a local criminal's plan to commit grand theft auto. Baker winds up in the hospital.
After longtime anchor Clifford Worthy (Bernie McInerney) blows up on the air, Kate promotes Dexter to lead anchor and teams him with Missy, much to his chagrin. Kate also arranges a live marriage between the two, which she plans to exploit for ratings. However, in the end, Dexter comes to his senses and calls off the wedding, deciding to go back to Toynelle. He also makes amends to those he stepped over, just to become successful. In the end, Dexter finally reaches his goal, becoming co-anchor at News 4 Atlanta, alongside Clifford Worthy.
[edit] Box Office and Business
The movie was released in September 1991, and grossed more than $5 million.[1]

Run Devil Run
Paul's Atlanta 'Run': McCartney's new CD draws inspiration from a Broad Street storefront Paul's Atlanta 'Run': McCartney's new CD draws inspiration from a Broad Street storefront BYLINE: Russ DeVault, Staff DATE: 10-01-1999 PUBLICATION: The Atlanta Constitution EDITION: Home SECTION: Features PAGE: F1 Paul McCartney's new solo album hits stores Tuesday and both the title song "Run Devil Run" and cover photo were inspired by a chance visit to a drugstore in what the former Beatle calls the "funky" part of downtown Atlanta. McCartney credits his inspiration to Miller's Rexall Drugs, a working pharmacy just south of the old Rich's department store at 87 Broad St. Over the years, Miller's also has come to specialize in products designed to ward off Satan and bring the good life. It's a down-home, laid-back store where bottles of demon-chasing bath beads and floor wash, incense, candles and even lottery-winning guides fill glass counters and line the walls. The store, located at ground level in a nondescript stone-and- brick building more than 100 years old, was founded by Donald Miller, the uncle of current owner Richard Miller. "There was a grocery store --- Miss Atlanta Supermarket --- in here, but it had closed, so this space was open," Richard Miller says (his semi-retired uncle works part time at the store). "This was the heart of Atlanta as far as shopping for black customers went at that time and he saw this as having a lot of potential." The area today hosts a variety of mom-and-pop businesses, having lost large merchandisers such as Rich's and Kessler's. "But it's a pretty vibrant area," Miller says, adding that his customers "are a wide range of people --- high government officials, lawyers, janitors, schoolteachers and retired people. We see a lot of second- and third- generation customers." McCartney, 57, discovered the store in January when he was in town with two of his children. His daughter Heather was unveiling her household creations at a trade show at the AmericasMart Atlanta. (McCartney's wife, Linda, died in April 1998.) McCartney says his son James, 21, "wanted to visit the funky side of town. So we went down there and were just wandering around the block and we came across this sort of voodoo shop selling cures for everything. "I was looking in the shop window and I saw this bottle of bath salts called 'Run Devil Run,' " McCartney says in a release accompanying the album. "I thought that was a good title for a song. So when I was on holiday after that, I started thinking of words for it and it came quite easily." Steve Rosenblatt, a marketing vice president for Capitol Records in Los Angeles, said that McCartney had taken "some snapshots" of the store, but later decided he wanted a professional photographer to shoot it. "He ended up writing the song 'Run Devil Run' for the album and wanted it (the store) on the album cover," Rosenblatt said. The cover depictions have been altered slightly, with the name "Miller's" on the Rexall sign changed to "Earl's." But the rest of the two storefronts are very similar, right down to the Herbal Viagra advertisements." Run Devil Run is a merchandise line produced in Birmingham by Sonny Boy Products. Of the company's prospects for sudden fame, co- owner Sherry Sexton said, "We're in a wait-and-see mode, but we're getting a Web site up Friday (today)." Asked about McCartney's "voodoo" reference, Sexton said, "We don't call any of our products voodoo. All our products have prayers and Bible references." Alvin Whitehead, 37, a regular customer at Miller's who as a child accompanied his mother to the store, agrees, saying Run Devil Run and similar products bring "power to the mind" and compares their use to "taking an aspirin when you're sick." A soft-spoken man, Miller, who lives in Marietta, welcomes any exposure the CD might bring. "I have two children in college, so I could use the extra business." Like wholesaler Sexton, Miller, who employs a part-time pharmacist, says the items are "spiritual not voodoo," but concedes, "the difference is connotation . . . there's really no difference." As it turns out, Miller didn't know of the McCartney connection until a journalist told him this week. At that point, he recalled an unusual incident that occurred "two or three months ago," when a long black limousine stopped in front of the store and three people jumped out. "When I saw the limo pull up and people pile out in front of my store, I went out and asked all three of them --- there was a lady, a photographer and the limo driver --- what they were doing and they wouldn't tell me. "I started asking more questions: 'Are you from the FBI? Am I in trouble?' They wouldn't even give me their names. They just told me they were on assignment for someone overseas with a lot of money." Now, Miller is convinced the party of three was working for McCartney, and that the former Beatle and leader of the band Wings may have been along for the ride. "I'm just an average Joe," Miller says. "Maybe guys like Paul McCartney do hire companies around the world to take pictures for them, but not in my realm of reality. So I'm thinking Paul was in the limo. I don't think photographers usually rent stretch limos for a one-hour shoot." At this point, Miller doesn't expect to hear from McCartney, but he does have one request. "I'd like to invite Paul to sign autographs at the store the next time he's in town." Run Devil Run
