Ryan Murphy News

Now, a cable network insider tells us exclusively that the film will instead be an HBO television production, with a budget in the neighborhood of $15 million dollars. There is no word yet on a timeline for the project, or if the announced starry cast are staying aboard the project.

The results are in! And, last night, after a month-long hiatus, GLEE came speeding back to the small screen with the spiffy and spunky new episode, "The Role You Were Born To Play" - a Michael Hitchcock-written, Brad Falchuk-directed entry to Fox's hit musical series centering on the auditions for this year's McKinley High musical - none other than the campy 50s musical comedy GREASE! And, indeed, GREASE is the word - and, furthermore, the musical GLEE was born to do.

While the scariness of the season may be all too real and in-your-face to East Coast BroadwayWorld readers due to Hurricane Sandy, late October is indeed the most frightening time of the year, so let's take a look at some of the top picks for Halloween 2012 - whether you are looking to pass some time in the storm, boiling up a cauldron of witch's brew for trick or treaters or donning devilish duds yourself.

Ryan Murphy, creator of such television shows as Glee, American Horror Story, and The New Normal, is hard at work on bringing the Tony-winning play The Normal Heart to the big screen. He told the Hollywood Reporter: 'It scares me because I came of age sexually in the early 1980s, and I lost so many friends, and so it means a lot to me. I really want young people to know what it used to be like and how that disease is still with us in a very deadly, horrible way.'

GLEE went under a bit of an alteration this season - splitting its time between the McKinley kids and the club, and following its graduates across the country, including Rachel's collegiate career at NYADA, and Kurt's big move to Manhattan. The show has introduced new characters, and all but said goodbye to the old - and in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, series creator Ryan Murphy, was candid when it came to show's inevitable end.

The GLEE showrunner's latest tweet has caused an even bigger stir as he teased, 'Michael Ausiello broke news of Jessica Sanchez on Glee. With voices like Jessica, Lea, Naya, Melissa, Amber, and Jenna...Streisand episode?'

Although he wont be reprising his original role, AMERICAN HORROR STORY Season 1 vet, Dylan McDermott, is set to return to the series as a guest star in the upcoming ASYLUM season. AMERICAN HORROR STORY returns tonight at 10:00 PM on FX.

ABC4.com reports that GLEE writer and creator Ryan Murphy offered superstar Better Midler a guest starring role on the FOX musical drama. He later tweeted, 'Bette said yes! Amazing. I am plotting... who should she play?'

The Glee star looked stunning in a no fuss simple black silk Armani gown Saturday night for the Los Angeles screening of the season premiere of Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story.

Deadline reports that White Collar star Matt Bomer will guest star on Ryan Murphy's new NBC comedy THE NEW NORMAL.

The BBC's comedy series ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS was among the 38 nominees for the 40th International Emmy Awards announced today by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences at a Press Conference at Mipcom.

This week on Week Four of THE X FACTOR, the first round of contestants to make it into the competition for the $5 million recording contract were let go at boot camp - and, on GLEE, romantic walking papers were issued willy-nilly as four long-standing relationships between central characters came to a conclusion (at least for now).

According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, GLEE creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed that the show will be doing a Moulin Rouge tribute episode.

On the heels of winning its first premiere week in the A18-49 demographic in nine years, NBC has picked up three of its new fall series - the adventure-drama 'Revolution' and the comedies 'Go On' and 'The New Normal' -- for full-season commitments for the 2012-13 season, it was announced today by Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment.

Ryan Murphy is going to have his hands full in the coming year, according to Deadline. The co-creator and executive producer of Fox's Glee, FX's American Horror Story and NBC's The New Normal will take on new projects for Fox and NBC.
