‘The Newsroom’ season 2: New romance for Neal? Maggie, Jim, and Don may have to share the romantic plot lines this year, and whileNewsroom fans may be split as to whether they like the romance or not, there is soon going to be a new face jumping into the fray. We are all anxiously counting the days ’til we get back to the ACN newsroom and our favorite band of do-gooder news staffers and their various romantic entanglements, and we can now add one more member to that number. According to Spoiler Chat over at Eonline, Neal will have a new lady around for season 2. The Newsroom’s resident tech genius and blogger extraordinaire will be trading witty repartee with an as yet uncast, attractive mtvU journalist named Aubrey, who is sure to give Neal a run for his money as she is described as being smart and outspoken.‘The Newsroom’ season 2’s other new faces The lucky lady chosen to play opposite Dev Patel’s Neal will be in good company as far as new faces go this season. We have previously reported that Constance Zimmer will be taking on the press spokesman role for the Mitt Romney campaign when the Presidential election coverage takes off, as well as Joel Johnstone, who will be playing a Romney staffer, and Grace Gummer, who is to be playing a reporter embedded within the Romney campaign. Outside the new faces around for election coverage, we also know that Marcia Gay Harden has stepped into the role of Rebecca Halliday, the litigator hired by the Atlantis Cable Network to defend them in a multimillion-dollar wrongful termination lawsuit. Also, Patton Oswalt will surely bring his comic flare to the role of Jonas Pfeiffer, the New Vice President of Human Resources. There are a lot of new faces this season, which are sure to start fresh conflicts with our already beloved cast of characters. Season 2 is only a few short months away now, and after the panel at Paleyfest where the first 10 minutes were screened and received positive reviews from those in attendance, we are all encouraged that the story unfolding at ACN has only just begun. Are you excited to hear about Neal’s new love interest? What role do you think her character may play as an mtvU journalist?
The Newsroom' at PaleyFest: Olivia Munn vs. Piers Morgan a… The Newsroom' at PaleyFest: Olivia Munn vs. Piers Morgan and other highlights Host Piers Morgan spent most of PaleyFest’s Sunday night Newsroom panel offering his own opinions on the 24-hour news cycle and posing wandering, often self-absorbed ethical questions to the HBO series’ actors as if they were actual news producers. As a result, viewers gained little insight in to season 2 — except that the Sandy Hook tragedy may be addressed and that fans of Sloan and Don’s sexual chemistry will not be let down. The panel finally heated up toward the end via audience questions. Below, the highlights: What to expect in season 2 “If you’re a fan of Don and Sloan, I would definitely be watching,” creator and executive producer Aaron Sorkin teased. In terms of the real-life connection to actual news, season 2 will follow the 2012 presidential election throughout. The Trayvon Martin shooting and budget crisis will also be addressed. Sorkin — who is currently writing episode 5 — admitted to being wary about writing Sandy Hook into the season even though he knows it’s unavoidable. “That’s a tough thing to write about without minimalizing it, exploiting it, spreading Cheez Whiz all over it,” he said. “Sorry for the bad metaphor, but there are so many land mines to step on. You want to make sure you don’t do it a disservice.” Having season 2 end chronologically just before Sandy Hook is a possibility. Should Will and MacKenzie resume a romance? Sorkin was vague. “We’ve gotta be careful — if you have them dance up to the fire enough times, the audience is gonna leave.” But he added, “I do not believe a couple that’s together is any less fun or sexy than a couple that’s trying to get together.” Olivia Munn vs. Piers Morgan The former journalist wasn’t afraid to call out the CNN showboat when he asked her about the “celebrification” that goes along with the news these days. “I prefer to see Piers Morgan and Diane Sawyer just on the news and not a red carpet,” she said. “To make yourself newsworthy is so egotistical and self-absorbed. That’s the problem with so many news organizations — so many people trying to make themselves a celebrity.” GET EW ON YOUR TABLET: Subscribe today and get instant access! Aaron Sorkin vs. Piers Morgan In a discussion of “news tsunamis” (like the Casey Anthony trial or the Carnival Cruise ship stuck at sea), Sorkin wondered why cable companies couldn’t just apply all those resources and energy to the sequester. “Honestly, no — I think the sequester is one of the most supremely boring stories,” Piers shut him down. But Sorkin brought it up again! He now seems determined to “make the sequester sexy,” so don’t be surprised if it comes up on The Newsroom. Jeff Daniels vs. Piers Morgan Morgan rather rudely presented The Newsroo***ead actor with this non-question: “You were desperate for this role.” Daniels: “Desperate is a big word…When I met with Aaron, I wasn’t leaving ’til I had [the role], that was my intention. If you have a shot to lead that kind of foray into whatever it is, his artistry…desperate, yeah, but determined is more like it.”
TCA 2012:新闻编辑室 Aaron Sorkin目前正在为《新闻编辑室》(The Newsroom)第二季寻找顾问。 Sorkin正在寻找各个政治派别的顾问来为该剧出谋划策,这是他在周三举行的电视评论人协会(TCA)夏季媒体见面会上透露给记者的。这些顾问将来自电视媒体、平面媒体、互联网媒体等各个媒体领域的佼佼者,代表“各自不同的思想流派。”Sorkin表示,这些顾问还会借鉴一些发生于现实世界里的新闻媒体幕后的事例,为本剧增加“一个我不具备的政治角度。” “我雇用了一些供职于保守党派的非常精明能干的保守派顾问,他们能在本剧讨论政治性话题时给我提供一些保守派的观点。”Sorkin在见面会结束后道。“我不知道第二季的故事发生在何时,但是如果不涉及到大选和一些国际会议我会非常震惊的。所以该剧会掀起一轮轮(政治)争论。” 随后,有记者问Sorkin,他会不会因为缺少保守派顾问而觉得《新闻编辑室》第一季偏弱。 他回答说:“我不觉得。” 就在这次媒体见面会召开之前,记者中间流传着这样一个疑问:评论家们会不会像对待他的作品那样,对他本人毫不留情呢? 不过,在场的记者们还是相当的毕恭毕敬的,但就在大家向Sorkin发难之前,他首先就大多数媒体转载报道他炒掉所有编剧的消息向记者发难。“几个星期之前,一个没有消息来源的错误消息出现在了互联网上,随后被大量转载。”Sorkin说道。“我没有炒掉编剧团队……这些消息见报后让编剧们惊恐万分。他们表现得非常奇怪,早早就来工作,对我毕恭毕敬。我要以前的那些老伙计们都回来。我喜欢现在的编剧团队。” 就在上个月,有网站声称,Sorkin几乎炒掉了《新闻编辑室》的所有编剧。当时,一位来自HBO的消息人士证实,一部分编剧确已离职,但是规模没有报道中的那么大。Sorkin周三对记者表示:剧组已经撤换了“几个”编剧和一部分销售宣传人员。Sorkin还指出,初始报道这则消息的媒体说,团队中有一位编剧是他的“前女友,”这是不正确的。 另外,有评论家评论说,《新闻编辑室》中的女性角色聪明不含糊。对此,Sorkin替女性角色做了辩护。“我完全尊重这些意见,但是我百分之百不同意。”Sorkin说道。“我认为女性角色和男性角色是平等的……我认为她们用不着别人讲她们工作得出不出色,我们直接看着就好了。” Sorkin还在现场举了几个支持他观点的例子,然后指出:“如果你认定(某个角色聪明),你就是搬起石头砸自己的脚。”
