'Justified's' music shows its roots

'Justified' employed music by a host of Americana artists to reflect the show's rural Kentucky setting. "Justified," the Peabody Award-winning FX drama, sports an earthy musical style as distinctive as its hard-edged plots, thanks to music supervisor Greg Sill.Over the course of two seasons, the show -- which stars Timothy Olyphant as a U.S. Marshal grappling with murderous clans in the backwoods of his hometown of Harlan, Ky., -- has developed a unique, and uniquely integrated, sound of its own."It's Americana, without a doubt," Sill says.Sill -- whose music supervision credits include work on such series as "Cane," "American Dreams," "Friends" and "ER" -- says the show's musical style evolved year to year."The first season, the editors had a tendency to use country and western music," Sill says. "People started to fall in love with that style of music. I said, 'Look, guys, we're not in Tennessee. We're in Kentucky, and once you cross the border the music changes.' We had knock-down, drag-out arguments, seriously."Season one's approach resulted in some strikingly deployed cues -- most prominently, a cover of Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man" by L.A.-based vocalist Quincy Coleman, recorded by "Justified" composer Steve Porcaro. But Sill thought a shift was in order."I went and talked to the writers," Sill says. "I had looked around to see who had the biggest amount and the biggest variety of bluegrass music and rock 'n' roll and rootsy stuff -- ballsy music, stuff that made sense for the show I said, 'Let's try to use as much roots stuff as we can.' "An early-season, on-camera appearance in a barroom scene by veteran L.A. roots rocker Dave Alvin established the season's musical style."Dave fell in love with the show, and he actually wrote a song, 'Harlan County Line,' " Sill says. "That was the song we wound up using. We actually integrated the song into the story. It worked really well."Alvin's stint set the tone for the rest of the year. The soundtrack for "Justified" employed music by a host of Americana artists, including Gillian Welch, the Drive-By Truckers, Amelia White, Justin Townes Earle, Cliff Wagner, Lynda Kay and Jesse Dayton & Brennen Leigh.Sill says the highest compliment paid to his work on the show came from writer Elmore Leonard, whose short story "Fire in the Hole" inspired "Justified.""He said, 'I never actually knew what music supervisors did.' He thanked me. Very cool." Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com

Bret Easton Ellis' Downers Grove Will Feature Glee's Darren Criss

Bret Easton Ellis, who uses Twitter to air opinions like, “[Glee makes me feel] like I’ve stepped into a puddle of HIV,” is coming face to face with the puddle itself: Glee’s Darren Criss has apparently signed on for a supporting role in Downers Grove, costarring Lucy Hale and Hayden Panettiere, which Ellis is adapting. Said Ellis on Twitter, “Whatever my problems with Glee have nothing to do with the incredibly talented cast itself. Have tastelessly bashed the show not the actors.” Still, a minor LOL is in order.

RATINGS RAT RACE: Slow Start For Fox's Sketch Comedy 'In The Flow'

Fox's sketch comedy series In the Flow With Affion Crockett, originally slated to premiere in midseason, had a quiet launch last night with two back-to-back episodes at 9 PM (1.3/3 among adults 18-49) and 9:30 PM (1.0/3), ranking below the repeats of The Simpsons (1.4/4) and Family Guy (1.7/5) that preceded them. ABC's I.AM.FIRST: Science Is Rock 'N Roll special was down 60% from what an America's Funniest Home Videos rerun averaged in the 7 PM hour last week and probably dragged down the CMA Music Festival (1.6/5, 7 million viewers). The music special was down from last year's telecast, which aired on Sept. 1 (Wednesday). However, total audience-wise, the festival was up by 1 million viewers. Because of a PGA Championship overrun (1.7/6), CBS' lineup slid by more than an hour. 60 Minutes (2.0/6) kicked things off at 8:05 PM, followed by Big Brother (2.5/6), which was down 14% from last week, and Same Name (1.5/4), which gave up some of the gains it posted last week, down 6%. CBS (1.9/5, 7.3 million) still easily won the night in both 18-49 and total viewers. NBC again aired back-to-back episodes of The Marriage Ref, both averaging a 0.9/2. The first one was flat and the second down a tenth from last week.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse on Fright Night, Straying from the Original, and Hooking Up with Aubrey Plaza

Don’t be surprised if Craig Gillespie’s new, updated Fright Night bears only partial resemblance to the 1985 cult horror-comedy of the same name; with a suburban Las Vegas setting, a much cooler teen protagonist, and a modern milieu filled with iPods and 4G-equipped cell phones, the tale of a high schooler’s (Anton Yelchin) battle against the seductive vampire who moves in next door (Colin Farrell) is more like a slick second-cousin to the totally ’80s Chris Sarandon/William Ragsdale-starring original. And as such, 22-year-old Christopher Mintz-Plasse isn’t your parents’ “Evil” Ed Thompson. Far from it. Instead, “Evil” Ed circa 2011 is a much different guy than the squeaky BFF played by Stephen Geoffreys in Tom Holland’s beloved original film: He’s still a nerd, of course, but he’s now a bitter one, abandoned for a life of popularity and girls by former geek-in-arms, Charley Brewster (Yelchin). Screenwriter Marti Noxon shakes things up a bit by weaving the soured relationship between Charley and “Evil” Ed into the film, which begins as Ed attempts to warn his ex-BFF about suspicions that a string of disappearances are linked to the good-looking single newcomer to town, Jerry Dandridge (Farrell). Movieline spoke with Mintz-Plasse (Superbad, Role Models, Kick-Ass) last month during Comic-Con about differentiating his character from Geoffreys’s original, why the original Fright Night was due for the remake treatment, and his efforts to hook up with Aubrey Plaza in the now-filming The To Do List. What were you looking for in terms of roles when you came across Fright Night? I had just gotten done promoting, I believe, the Kick-Ass DVD, and I was doing a lot of music with my band at the moment, so I was concentrating on that and I didn’t shoot a movie for a few months. My agent sent me the script and I saw that Craig [Gillespie] was attached — I was a big fan of Lars and the Real Girl, I thought he did an amazing job with that — Colin [Farrell], Anton [Yelchin], and Toni Collette were all attached, so I thought, this is an incredible cast! I’ve got to look at what the role is. And it was almost like a cameo, in a way; I’m in the first 15 minutes and I come back for the last 15 minutes, and I was like, if done right that can be a very memorable role for the movie. The script was great, the character was great — I went in and auditioned and got the part. Had you already seen the original film? I didn’t. Once I went into the audition and got the callback I went out and bought it and watched it and thought it was awesomely campy, very ’80s. Totally ’80s. Yeah! That’s the charm about it. I thought this was the perfect movie to remake, because it’s not amazing, it’s not incredible — you don’t want people to be like, ‘They’re remaking, like, The Goonies!’ That movie is unbelievably perfect, but this movie was kind of… there was room to do an update. So I enjoyed the ’80s version and thought this was going to be very modern for an audience today and I enjoyed that. How would you describe the difference between your “Evil” Ed and the original film’s “Evil” Ed? In this script, Marti [Noxon] really concentrated on Charley and “Evil” Ed’s friendship. In the old movie they were friends but you didn’t really understand if they dug each other, I don’t know. It was confusing a little bit. So they cleared it up that he doesn’t like me anymore because I’m still into the nerdy stuff and he has a girlfriend, blah blah blah, and he’s kind of embarrassed by me. I didn’t want to play it like the actor from the ’80s because he did such an amazing job and he’s so out of this world wacky, kind of like, ‘Brewsterrrr!’ This energy that I couldn’t bring because it wasn’t right for this script. [Spoiler Alert for those who haven’t seen the original.] So I just took it the more toned down, depressing route, with this kind of hatred for Anton in the beginning that I get to unleash later on as a vampire. [End Spoilers.] It’s more interesting to tweak the nerd themes of Fright Night now that we’re in the age of the geek, so to speak. But tell me about the video you shot for the film, the home video of Ed and Charley years ago that Ed threatens to reveal to the world._ Oh, the Squid Boy and all that! That was the first day of shooting. We shot that the first day. Anton and I didn’t know each other as well as we do now, so our first impressions of each other were just like, with scuba gear on and make-up and we’re just going, ‘Squid Boy!!’ It was fun though, it was a blast. I want to see that full video cut together. That’s got to be on the DVD. I agree. It probably will be. I’ll pitch it. Do you recommend that as a good way to get to know someone on the first day? Shooting viral videos? [Laughs] Yeah! I then realized he was good at improv and he was down to have fun. It was very goofy, then we went out and had a couple of drinks and hit it off. Speaking of viral videos — there was that Funny or Die sketch you shot recently. With Davey [Franco]? Davey’s in this movie as well, and he’s awesome. That was a game I used to play with my improv team in high school and the point is, you try to make each other laugh and if you don’t, you get closer and closer. It’s chicken! It’s chicken, yeah. Davey and I did it on set, and Davey was like, ‘This is genius — we have to film this!’ We went home and filmed it and he was right, people loved it. It’s super gay. [Laughs] It shows a side of you that some folks haven’t seen before — a distinctly R-rated side. That was fun to see. Good, thank you! Considering where you are in your career now, do you feel a desire to push those boundaries a bit more than before? I mean, I’ve been lucky enough to do movies that are my sense of humor, like Superbad and Role Models and Year One — not Year One, but the other two are rated R and I was allowed to swear and make dick jokes, which is what I like to do, sadly! So I’ve been lucky enough to work on movies that I’d want to see. Ah, so it’s not that you’re this nice young man who’s been coerced to say foul things by people like Judd Apatow just in the movies? [Laughs] No way, I want those! I think I’m a nice guy, but I’ve got a very dirty mouth as well. I’m keeping it contained for this interview. Since we’re at Comic-Con, I’m reminded of your performance in Role Models. Congrats to you guys for being ahead of the pack when it comes to LARPing movies! I think I have to try it. Try it out, it’s fun! David Wain, he created an awesome world. We were the first! Actually, there’s a good documentary about it. You’re currently working on The To Do List? Yeah, it’s Bill Hader, Aubrey Plaza, Donald Glover, Johnny Simmons… the cast is incredible. I like the concept — the female perspective on a “losing it” type of sex comedy set-up is something new. Yeah, she’s the valedictorian in high school and she has no sexual experience. Rachel Bilson plays her older sister, who’s kind of a slut and says, ‘You have to know the ways of sex if you’re going to college.’ So she just creates a list of sexual activities that she needs to check off. How are you involved in this scheme? I play Johnny Simmons’s best friend, and he has a big crush on her. But then I hear about the list and I’m an asshole and I go hook up with her. [Laughs] You get to hook up with Aubrey Plaza? Yeah, in a comedic way. It’s not going to be sexy. She is awesome. She’s hilarious and she’s super beautiful. This is her starring role, this is her movie. I mean, she hasn’t had her starring movie yet. She’s awesome on Parks and Recreation. When will you get your starring role? I don’t know! Kick-Ass was awesome, that was kind of a starring role in a way. But I’m slowly getting there. I’ve been playing a lot of music with my band, so I’m kind of doing both right now. It’s a rock band, garage rock, called The Young Rapscallions. Ooh, rapscallions. [Laughs] We were like 17 when we thought of the name. We were young!

CBS' A Gifted Man Will Explore the Upstairs-Downstairs, Science vs. Faith Sides of Medicine

Patrick Wilson, A Gifted Man In CBS' new medical drama A Gifted Man, Patrick Wilson stars as a hotshot neurosurgeon whose dead ex-wife (Jennifer Ehle) suddenly appears, asking for his help at the free clinic she left in her wake. Executive producer Neal Baer, who recently ran Law & Order: SVU and also worked on ER, said that, like other medical dramas, A Gifted Man would feature the "really intimate" case stories of patients. The "twist," he said, comes in Wilson's character, Dr. Michael Holt, who will be uncomfortably reminded of his previous life as a family doctor by the spirit of his ex. CBS sets Two and a Half Men, How I Met Your Mother premiere dates "Just blocks away, his ex wife was running a clinic that provided care for [many] people who are not insured." Baer said during CBS' fall TV previews on Wednesday. "This the first show of its kind to show the upstairs-downstairs of medicine... Michael is at a real crossroads in his life... and he's now caught between worlds." But it's not as sentimental as all that either. While the late Anna wants Michael to help her less fortunate clientele, she's not a conventional angel. "She doesn't necessarily want to be there," Ehle says. "She doesn't have the luxury of being gone." Instead, Anna remains privy to the sorry state of her clinic and her uninsured patients. "The only way she could possibly do anything is through him, and he's resistant." Rachel Lefevre checks into A Gifted Man She's also not without flaws. "She's complicated like everyone else is," executive producer Sarah Timberman said. In future episodes, Michael will learn Anna was involved in a long-term relationship at the time of her death, as well as the fact that "she didn't leave [the clinic] in the best financial position," Baer said. "She's not perfect." As for the cases that anchor the weekly episodes, Baer said they'd be "incredibly tough medical stories," much like those that marked his previous hospital drama ER. They'll test Michael's character in questions of "ethics, faith, what to do, how to do it," Baer said. "He saw himself as a person who just operated, and now [Anna] is forcing him to deal with things, as well as why he has shut himself away from other people." A Gifted Man is set to air on Fridays at 8, far from a coveted timeslot. Wilson said, on the other hand, being on a less-scrutinized night has given the writers a sense that they have "room to play." "I felt a lot of creative freedom... to find our feet and get the tone right," he said. A Gifted Man premieres Friday, Sept. 23 at 8/7c.

Likes: Hanson, Being Lazy -- Is This Your Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pirate?

Today, after four months of investigation, Summit Entertainment released a press release identifying the young woman who allegedly stole photos and video of Bill Condon’s unfinished Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn back in March and leaked the images and screen grabs on the Internet. The investigation spanned four continents and the studio has filed civil action in two countries and criminal action in one. But enough with the boring legal details! After the jump, Movieline conducts its own high tech Facebook research on the woman who allegedly released those Bella/Edward sex pics. After reading Summit’s press release — which named Daiana Santia of Argentina as one of a group of suspects “that stole photos, unfinished images and video of Breaking Dawn” — Movieline did some basic Facebook recon and pulled up the limited public profile for a Daiana Santia, also from Argentina. Facebook Daiana Santia listed her college as Universidad Nacional de Misiones, which is located two hours outside of Posadas, the actual suspect’s Argentinian hometown where Summit has taken legal action. After reaching out to Santia via Facebook for comment, her profile was made private within 20 minutes. Fortunately, Movieline captured screen grabs (above and below) just in time. Facebook Daiana Santia lists Water for Elephants (Robert Pattinson connection!) as her favorite movie, Christina Aguilera and Hanson as her favorite music and “being lazy” as her favorite activity. A Flixster account opened under the same name lists Santia as 24 years old. Responding to Movieline’s request for comment, representatives for Summit Entertainment would neither confirm nor deny Santia’s Facebook identity. · ‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn’ Alleged Pirate Identified by Summit [THR]
