First trailer of Alfonso Cuaron's NBC show 'Believe'

Tue, 21 May 2013

Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón has teamed up with powerhouse director J.J. Abrams to do a TV show for NBC titled - BELIEVE - and we now have the trailer courtesy of /Film. It's a leaked trailer and not NBC "leaked" from what it seems.

Cuarón just finished work on Gravity, one of the most ambitious movies in the history of film for its 3D work and directorial style. Film will be released October 4th. Abrams on his end just scored a #1 film with Star Trek Into Darkness co-starring Zoe Saldana.

The pairing has given way to an hourlong sci-fi drama presented at this year's upfront about a young superpowered girl (Johnny Sequoyah) and the death row inmate (Jake McLaughlin) broken out of jail to protect her.

Cuarón wrote and directed the pilot, and will serve as executive producer alongside Abrams. What we gathered from the TV trailer is that it's a bit subdued, perhaps due to the quality of the trailer, but at least we have something to see. I'm working on getting...

Is America ready for a Latina to be a co-host of ABC’s The View?

Mon, 20 May 2013

As 'The View' gets ready to say goodbye to Barbara Walters, ABC network executives and producers are having closed door meetings on the future of the much imitated iconic show.

One of the ideas being tossed around, again, is the inclusion of a Hispanic co-host. That idea is about to be re-tested when Univision’s Primer Impacto co-anchor, Pamela Silva Conde, gets a co-hosting seat next to the ladies of 'The View' this Tuesday at 11AM, eastern time.

Mrs. Conde’s selection shouldn’t surprise anyone. After having an African-American, an Asian and even a gay woman as hosts, it is about time 'The View' welcomed a Latina to the table. Actually, they should have done this years ago when the Hispanic population numbers were first exploding and Myrka Dellanos was welcomed to join as fill-in.

Yes, the same Myrka Dellanos, former co-host of Primer Impacto.

Back in 2007, Dellanos filled in for former host Meredith Viera to much acclaim. She was beautiful, quick-minded, opinionated, and professional. She connected very well with audiences and seemed to have...

Official! Paulina Rubio joins FOX's "X-Factor US"

Mon, 20 May 2013

Updated:

Paulina Rubio is the new judge on Fox's X-Factor US and is the first straight up Mexican born judge to be on a English Language music reality competition show. Christina Aguilera (Ecuadorian father), Demi Lovato (quarter Mexican from mother's side) and Mariah Carey (half-Venezuelan father) don't really fancy themselves as Latinas, but Shakira and Rubio do.

Paulina Rubio, a.k.a "Pau," is the Queen of Latin Pop, and is currently working on Telemundo's La Voz Kids, a kids adaptation of NBC's successful franchise The Voice and was also on the second season of La Voz… México.

Latin pop/dance rocker "Pau" joins Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato at the table with Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child being added as well. They’d be filling the judges’ seats vacated by LA Reid and Britney Spears.

X Factor US is set to film auditions in Charleston, SC, this Tuesday and Wednesday. The tweet was revealed by Cowell Monday. X Factor‘s third season will debut this fall.

Zoe Saldana wants to direct Ang Lee type movies

Wed, 15 May 2013

Dominican/Puerto Rican actress Zoe Saldana belongs to a rare and privileged club, where a small click of actors films rank in the top 3 box office movies of all time. Avatar is the leader in that category and she’s its key co-star. She is literally on top of the world. Her huge blockbuster films have put her on the lips of every top producer and director in Hollywood as well as a profusion of money in her bank account. As she nears the release of another gi-normous franchise film in “Star Trek Into Darkness,” where she plays Uhura, she seems to be in a reflective mood about life, work and her place in it.

I have been interviewing Saldana since the early 2000’s when I used to work for a Spanish language morning newscast in New York. She was just breaking through with “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” back then and she seemed innocent to the tidal wave of the VIP life that was about to hit her.

In our deep, but fun conversation, her answers were peppered with shades of feminism and what sounded like a need to break free from some...
