Pilot Roundup: Sciorra to 'Queens,' Three to 'Eastwick'
LOS ANGELES - Coming off an Emmy-nominated guest stint on HBO's mob drama "The Sopranos," actress Annabella Sciorra may move to the right side of the law. Sciorra is in negotiations to play a judge in the CBS pilot "Queens Supreme," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The pilot from writer Kevin Fox ("The Negotiator" ) is set in New York City's highest trial court. Sciorra, who guest-starred as Tony Soprano's (James Gandolfini) manic-depressive mistress on the last season of "The Sopranos," would join Oliver Platt ("The West Wing") in the pilot's cast. In other casting news: FOX's pilot "Eastwick" has added three to its cast: Lori Loughlin ("Full House"), Marcia Cross ("Melrose Place") and Riley Smith ("Not Another Teen Movie," "Raising Dad"). The pilot is a take on "The Witches of Eastwick" played out through the witches' teenage sons. Michael Cera ("Frequency") and Brian Sites (HBO's "Real Women Have Curves") have joined the comedy "The Grubbs," also for FOX. |
I hope Eastwick gets picked up. I would love to see Marcia back on TV.
